Author Note: Alright loyal readers, I've come with a note. Seeing as most of this story has been "omg that happened?", I've decided you need a break with some comic releif thats not that funny, but better than nothing. And some SasuNaru.
Sasuke might seem a little OOC. I'm so sorry, please don't hurt me.
Also, Thank you Kodoku na Oujo. You have been one of my first reviewers to actually stay with me each update and I love you! Haha, So I'm writing you a note here for being so wonderful. Thank you once more.
annnnnd. To the anon. reviewer known as 'a', I do realize what you mean by Sasuke is a cop and would not have moved Naruto because of his back which could have caused more damage, but he was also, like any other cop, taking in what was going on around him. Suppose the car exploded because of the evil author I am. Naruto would have been in a lot more damage, so it was worth the risk to move him. He's a cop, not a medic. However, Thank you for the review. :
Enjoy!
"Kakashi, let me go back in there." Sasuke demanded from his position outside of the hospital room that Naruto Uzumaki was placed in. Two days the blonde had been lying in that bed and yet he had still been thrown out by his chief. Didn't he understand that he had to be with him?
Once more, for the thousand time, Kakashi shook his head no and stepped in front of the door to block any entree. "Officer Uchiha, I've told you already that his family wishes to be with him alone. That makes you uninvited and not moving past this door. Is that clear?"
"No, its not apparently, otherwise I wouldn't be trying. With all due respect sir, you assigned me to this case and to keep him safe. I can't do that when I'm not there. Now let me in the fucking door." He swore, narrowing cold black eyes at the man in front of him. Kakashi however seemed unaffected.
"Sasuke, you are pretty damn lucky I've known you since you were a child or your ass would be so far out of this hospital, and off the force. Now sit down, and shut up. You are not getting in there unless his family requests it." The mans voice was low in warning, and Sasuke backed off.
Huffing and crossing his arms, he fell into the one of the uncomfortable chairs placed in front of the room. Silence then fell over them, except for the voices of hospital staff or cart wheels as there were dragged hurriedly down the long white halls. Sasuke was sure that he was going to go crazy being out here for to long.
Although, he wasn't going to have to worry about it as the handle to Naruto's room was pulled open and Sakura's bright pink head peeked out. Tear marks once more stained her pretty face. "Kakashi, sir, Naruto's asking for Officer Uchiha again. Mother thinks it best to let him in."
Frowning, the silver haired man nodded, motioning for Sasuke to go ahead. Jumping up from the seat, he hurried to the door as Sakura took a step back in let him, however, Kakashi caught his arm. "Sasuke. Watch yourself." Rasing an eye brow in half question and half confusion, Sasuke opened his open to say something, but Kakashi released him and nudged him forward. "I'll be back in a bit." Sasuke watched him stalk down the hall and shrugged, entering the room quickly only to have Sakura shut the door behind him.
Once inside he noticed that the curtains were pulled wide to allow light to flutter in, and that the mood of the room seemed a bit brighter compared to when he left. Naruto's family was smiling sadly at th blonde who was the sole occupant of the twin sized hospital bed.
"Hmm, Sasuke." Naruto slurred, reaching out an arms carefully for the raven who took stand at the side of his bed. "I missed you, why'd you leave me?" He giggled, having his hand bunch in the mans shirt to pull him down closer. "Don't you love me any more?" He whispered low and seductive like.
Smirking, Sasuke pulled the hand from him and squeezed it lightly. "If you weren't so high on pain medications Naruto, I'd think you were coming onto me." He released the hand and stood straight once more as the blonde fell into another laughing fit. He turned to look at Tsunade and Jiraiya at the foot of the bed and nodded in greeting, Sakura taking a seat across from him.
"Sasuke, I'm sorry about asking Kakashi to keep you out. We just wanted sometime with him alone, I didn't think you would be so upset by it." Tsunade took her husbands hand into her own lap and smiled fondly. "The brats never been very close to anyone before, so I must say it's a surprise that he kept asking for you and that you actually wanted in here to be with him."
"That's because Sasuke looooves me, mommy. Mhm." Naruto shifted in the bed and winced, humming to himself.
Sasuke snorted and crossed his arms over his chest, trying to hide the blush forming on his face. "Actually, it's my job."
"I highly doubt that." Jiraiya finally spoke up, glancing at his wife with a slight grin.
Tsunade nodded with a smile, however it faded as she looked at Sasuke, eyes narrowing. "You listen here brat. You hurt him and I swear to god you won't be a man anymore. Do I make myself clear?"
"Nope, nope, nope, No hurty Sasuke." Naruto chipped in.
Raising an eye brow, Sasuke opened his mouth to say something again, but decided to shut it. What the hell was going on? 'I think she just gave me an okay to date her son. While he's delirious. Great.'
"Yes ma'am, I don't plan too." Sasuke said, finding nothing else to say at the moment. Honestly, what exactly was he suppose to say?
Sakura suddenly let out a soft laughter as she looked up from the ground. "Can anyone say awkward now?" She smiled at Sasuke and then looked to her brother. "Although, he likes you a lot. You know? But anyway, how long have you guys been together. Behind our backs a mean?"
"Forever, right baby. Haha, Sasuke loves meand I love him." Naruto smiled, and tugged Sasuke's hand into his own.
Suddenly the Uchiha understood what was going on and it hit him hard. Naruto must have said something to them while like this and they believed him. "Uh. We're not...together. I mean we're partners, but other then that nothing is going on between us yet." He hardly noticed his hand in the others.
Tsunade's mouth opened, Sakura's eyes grew wide, and Jiraiya smirked while murmuring, "Told you not to listen."
"But Sasuke, you said yet. Are you gonna ask me out?" Naruto brought his hand to his face and licked the top of it lightly. That of course caused Sasuke to blink and pull his hand back.
"Hn."
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I just thought..." Sakura stuttered, waving her hands in front her wildly and Tsunade just started laughing after a few minutes.
"Oh wow. Well. It still stands for any future purposes." The blonde woman stated and tugged her husbands hand as she stood. "We are going to grab something to eat, will you be staying with him?" Upon the nod she got, she moved over and kissed her sons head. "We'll be back hunny."
From there the Uzumaki family left the room, leaving Sasuke with the unrestrained Naruto.
'Great. Just great.'
Papers were being shoved around the wide table of the one of the many meeting rooms of the police station. Kiba and Hinata took up on side of the square table, Ino and Shika on the other side with their Captain, Neji, seated in front of them.
"There's nothing in his record at all. Naruto's practically a prefect citizen, not even a mark against him." Ino murmured her findings to the team, glancing over the permanent record within her hands. She raised baby blue eyes to the woman across from her. "Hinata, you come up with anything?"
The quiet woman glanced up, and shook her head just enough to cause long hair to fall over her shoulder, only to be gentle pushed back. "Nothing. Just like you said, Naruto's record is clean."
"Hey, I think I found something." Shikamaru stated, holding up a news paper article that he must of found in the Uzumaki File. Gaining the attention of the group he sighed, passing it to Neji with a murmur of, "reading is too troublesome."
Almost white eyes glanced over the old paper quickly, frowning forming slowly. "It's a report of an incident that happened about five years ago." He relayed, "It was from when Jiraiya Uzumaki was still onr the force, right before Naruto joined it seems."
"So whys it in his file then?" Kiba questioned as he leaned over the arm of his chair to pet the top of Akamaru's head, brown eyes focused on Neji.
"I don't know, but this might be relevant to the case. It says here that one victim was taken by Jiraiya's hands when things got out of hand. It was a another man, age twenty-two." Neji paused, reading another section. "Apparently the entire thing was written off as an accident and Jiryaiya was set free, but he quit the force the next day. This would have happened on December 12, 2002."
Ino suddenly sat up in her chair with a knowing look on her face. "The first crime happened on last Thursday."
"Uh, no duh. God you're a little slow." Kiba snorted and laughed lightly.
Ino shook her head, fuming with sudden anger which were chalked off as hormones. "No you idiot. Last Thursday was the 12th. The 12th of December, exactly five years!" She exclaimed, and everyone glanced over to her and then each other.
"Seems we have a start on this case then." Neji affirmed with a nod and Kiba laughed.
"Yeah, finally."
The clock on the wall marked the time, ticking loudly by the second as if to annoy the person watching it. This was only four-thirty, meaning only forty-five minutes ago the Uzumaki family left and would not be back for at least a half hour, perhaps longer.
Leaving the thought behind, Sasuke glanced at the man laying on the bed next to him. He was silent, and had been so for sometime now that it was worrying him a tiny bit. Maybe the medication was starting to wear off, it would seem like the right time considering the dosage he was given. Yet, for Naruto not to say a word was nerve-racking.
"Naruto?" Baby blue eyes connected with pitch-dark, and Sasuke lost all words on his tongue.
The blonde frowned, looking to the wall in front of him and sighed. "Sasuke, I'm sorry." He murmured, pausing for a moment as a light blush coating his cheek bones, wincing as he leaned back into the bed a little more. "I mean, about what happened. I wasn't thinking and the words just kinda spilled out."
"You mean about loving me?" He asked bluntly.
"Yeah, among other things." Naruto murmured, finally gathering the courage to look at the raven haired man again.
"It's fine."
A grin formed across his face. "Thanks, Sasuke."
Sasuke paused for a moment and crossed arms over his chest slowly, raising an eye brow. "So, then, do you like me Naruto?"
The blonde turned red, stuttering like a fool. "Uh. What? Oh, like a best friend?"
"No, more then that." Sasuke stated dryly.
"Um. Well, I mean- you're- um, you see-"
Sasuke stood up swiftly, gracefully turning and falling onto an empty spot on the ugly hospital bed to Naruto's right side, facing him. "Shut up moron and answer me."
"Yes." It was a whisper, as if he was a small child worried about someone yelling out of anger at him.
"You're not going to chalk this up as the medications are you?" Sasuke boredly asked, only to have Naruto shake his head no and refuse to look up at him. "Loser, I have feelings for you too, but I'm not ready to act on them until I'm absolutely sure of what those are." Naruto just nodded, refusing to utter a word and Sasuke frowned.
"Naruto." He raised a hand to cup a scared cheek, guiding his face upward to look at him. "Will you wait for me?"
"I-" Naruto's eyes widened slightly in shock before softening. "Of course, as long as you promise to stay in the meantime."
"Hn, I'm already here moron." The pale hand removed and raised to flick his forehead.
"I know, Bastard."
