Therapist Equals The Rapist
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did I would totally make Sasuke and Naruto have hot smexin' sex.
Summary: Sasuke is a being that feeds on the human soul through sexual intercourse. There are many like him on Earth, blending in with society. The only problem? Every person they have intercourse with dies, so most of them resorted to rape instead. One of them makes a mistake and a victim gets away. In comes, Naruto, a detective given charge of the investigation. His prime suspect? Why! It's Sasuke of course! But is he in over his head on this one?
Chapter 2
"Well? Is it the same fabric?" Lee asked. TenTen looked up from her microscope. She shook her head. Lee stumped into his chair. Naruto sighed. Here they thought they were on an easy one but it took a turn for the worst. TenTen gave then apologetic look and removed the fabric gently. They had inspected the cloak Naruto and Lee got from the Uchiha and evidently there was a tear at the end of the cloak.
"I'm sorry but it's not the same one. The tear in the cloak looks similar but it's different." She showed them the fabric and the cloak side by side. The pieces fit. "See? They fit but the tear pattern doesn't. The one you got off the victim is torn using her left hand. Possibly when she was swatting him away."
Naruto interrupted her. "Wait! How do you know that?" He asked suspiciously. TenTen moved them to a different area of the lab. They walked into a wide open space with a plastic crash test dummy. He was wearing a similar cloak. Naruto looked it over.
"Where'd you get this cloak?" He asked. TenTen waved him off.
"It's not hard to come by. My friend Hinata had a similar one. I just borrowed hers. Turns out being in Medieval Times helps." Naruto looked at her a bit uncomfortable but moved on. Standing behind him, Lee moved towards the table with the cloaks and the fabric. He looked deep in thought. TenTen stepped toward the dummy and picked up the right side's bottom. It was pissing a piece of fabric. Naruto peered closely at it as TenTen said she a reenactment of the scene. She caused him to look at the dummy then at her. Confusion painted his face as he asked a mental question.
With the dummy?
She laughed at him and reassured him that she reenacted with another lab employee. That eased his confusion and regained his confidence in trusting her lab work. Don't get him wrong, TenTen is the best of the best when it comes to lab work. No one can surpass her but… she has her moments. Enough said.
"Anyway, like I said. The reenactment proved she the cloak with her left hand as she's swatting at the perp. I matched the fabric to the one I tore and it was a match. Also… all three cloaks, assuming there is a third cloak, are made by similar material. They're from the same batch."
"I was just thinking that. When you said your friend's into Medieval times it struck me. What if our perp is into Medieval times, you know, a fanatic who likes cosplay." Lee reappeared beside Naruto. The two began to build on that. If their perp was into Medieval times than it would spell good and bad. Good because it narrows down their search but bad because it meant interrogating crazy fanatics that spoke crazy languages. Immediately the two dreaded taking up this case. TenTen chuckled at their despair.
"Well, my work is done. Have fun you two." She waved at them. But the two stood planted to the floor. Plaster on their faces was identical tactical smirks. It was her turn to pale with worry. Naruto wiggled himself over to her and placed an arm over her shoulder. She looked up at him wearily.
"TenTen…" He all but purred against her ear. Instantly she pushed him away and moved to her work table.
"No." Was her single reply. She should have known. TenTen pulled out several different evidence bags on a different case and spread them out on the table. Turning to look at Naruto and Lee she smiled coyly.
"I've got far too much work. Sorry but I can't help you." This time her voice was near to breaking from her coy smile.
"But TenTen! The fanatics barely speak English! All you ever hear out of their mouths are ancient languages like Latin, Greek, or even ancient French! And we don't speak those languages!" Naruto whined. He managed to attach himself onto TenTen's arm. She arched her eyebrow.
"And I do?" They all knew she did but she felt obliged to pretend she doesn't. Don't ask her why. She doesn't even know. All she knows is her gut is telling her to do it. Naruto pouted and flailed her arm about roughly. Lee sat back obviously amused. Naruto may be more experienced as a cop but he was as childish as a rookie. At times like these, Lee feels like he was the experienced one instead of Naruto. He watched as TenTen threw the blond off and glared at him. Joking time was over. He clearly got on her nerves. The woman shoved them out of her lab and slammed the door in their faces.
"Use a computerized translator!' She shouted over the door. Many who passed by giggled or laughed out loud at them; everyone knew not to get on TenTen's nerves. Humiliation was always the price. The worst part was everyone jumped at the chance to laugh at TenTen's victims. Her success rate? 100 percent.
Naruto huffed and stomped his foot in their direction and demanded what was so funny? It only made them laugh harder. Lee placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder and led him to the break room. The aroma of coffee assaulted their senses. It dragged them to the already made pot of coffee. Naruto grabbed two cups and Lee filled them with the rare delicious smelling coffee. They took a sip and instantly beamed at the taste. It was mouth watering!
"Ah ha! I was going to drink that…" A lazy voice drawled from behind. They turned to see Kakashi. The man scratched his mask covered face. Kakashi was in a horrible fire about five years back. Naruto wasn't on the force then but he knew enough o know Kakashi regrets every moment of that case. He was given an order to abandon the murderer in the fire because everyone thought he deserved it. So did Kakashi. Thirty two days later they found out he didn't do it. The end results: Kakashi's lower face was badly burnt and he never had a good night's sleep. Always plagued with nightmares.
"Whoops, sorry Kakashi." Naruto smiled sheepishly. "It's one hell of a coffee though!" Lee nodded vigorously.
"It's quite alright. I'll just make a new batch." Kakashi waved them off. He walked to the cabinets and fumbled for more coffee bags.
"So… I heard you two took over Orochimaru and Kabuto's case. How you living so far?" He smirked. The two gave him knowing looks. Orochimaru and Kabuto were famous for getting even with anyone who dared to take over their cases. It was illegal but Orochimaru's family basically runs the board so they did as they pleased; to an extent that is. So far, no one dared to take their cases until Naruto and Lee came along. They weren't scared of some cowards who used family relations to step people's faces into dirt.
"Pretty decent. Not too bad." Naruto sipped his coffee. Lee gave a hesitant look. It's only been three days. Kakashi hummed as he pressed the start button on the coffee maker. He grabbed a blueberry muffin and sat down at the table. Taking a bite, he waved them over with a weird glint in his eyes. Naruto took a seat across from him cautiously. He eyed the silver haired man. Kakashi leaned in close with his muffin hovering beside his mouth. He wet his lips and nudged Naruto.
"What case you'd get? Any progress?" His tone of voice was that of a gossiper. Naruto pushed him way playfully. Lee sat down and laughed softly but it came from the heart.
"Kakashi, since when were you a gossiper?' Lee asked. The older man shrugged.
"Seemed like fun: thought I try it." He laughed.
"How's it working for you?" Naruto arched an eyebrow with a smile. The man sat back and smiled.
"Quite well. I got dirt on a lot of people. For example, people are saying your victim reported a false case for attention." Kakashi fell silent and watched the two carefully. The blond slammed his mug onto the table.
"People should mind their own business and start solving their own cases." His voice was harsh and cold. Lee wiped away the spilt coffee.
"I agree. She reported a case and it's our job to investigate it. We're in no position to judge. It's not what we're hired to do." Lee looked at Kakashi straight in the eye. The silver haired man was surprised at Lee's sudden determination.
"What would you know? You're a rookie." Kakashi drawled.
"And you've been in the system too long. It's obviously numbed your conscience." Lee spat back. Naruto was surprised at Lee. It was a low blow. Lee might be a rookie but he knew of the back story to Kakashi's burnt face. He knew that Kakashi hadn't lived that moment down, not even a second. Also Lee never insulted anyone. He rarely got mad. To see him this pissed off was a miracle. Kakashi sat stunned at his words. Le picked up his mug and down his coffee. At that moment Kiba popped into the break room. Oblivious to the tension, he patted Naruto and Lee on the shoulder.
"Chief just got a call. Some guy named Uchiha Sasuke wants to see you two." He bounced back out of the break room. Naruto stood stiffly and headed for the door, Lee trailing behind.
"Enjoy your coffee, Kakashi." The older man waved and got up to get his coffee.
"So spirited, those kids." His phone buzzed in his pants pocket. He placed the mug down and retrieved his phone. One look at the caller ID, he looked around before locking the door to the bream room and flipped the phone open.
"Good afternoon, sire."
"Well?" the person on the other side demanded.
"I'm still working on it, sire. They're not giving me much."
"I don't care what they're giving. I want you to wrench as much as you can out of them. You understand?" The voice was demanding and left no room for arguments.
"I understand, sire. There is one piece of information, though I don't think it's relevant, sire." He waited for the other to respond.
"Let's hear it." The voice responded after much deciding.
"Well…" Kakashi trailed off.
"I don't have all day, Hatake!" The other voice scolded. Kakashi winced. His sire is in quite a horrible mood. Vaguely, he wondered if it had anything to do with Naruto.
"They're convinced she's a real victim. I know most of them don't survive but I think she might have survived. Someone messed up, sire."
"…. Any leads?' His sire's voice was quite calm but he noted the stiffness to it. Inside his sire was boiling.
"So far no. They've clamped shut the minute I mentioned it but I am certain in my accusations sire."
"Your accusations mean nothing in the face of the Elders, Hatake. Break through their defenses. I don't care how you do it. Don't let them get him before we do. We're going to fix this our way." The call disconnected right after his sire finished talking. Kakashi flipped his phone closed and brought his coffee mug to his desk. The next few days was going to be long and dreadful.
The Chief's Office –
Naruto barged in without knocking. Sarutobi growled at him but welcomed the two. Lee closed the door gently and apologized. All anger gone the two walked up to Sarutobi's desk. Naruto leaned on It as he gave the Chief his best nonchalant look. Sarutobi just stared back with the same look. Lee stared at the piece of paper in Sarutobi's hands.
"So Chief…" Naruto began.
"Yes Naruto?" Sarutobi finished. The two laughed suddenly. Sarutobi handed over the paper. "Uchiha Sasuke requested you meet him at this address. He said it's important." Naruto grabbed the paper.
"Important? How important? Is he dying as we speak? Please tell that teme is dying as we speak." Naruto studied the paper. The address was somewhere he's never been to before but he knew how to get there. Sarutobi sighed at Naruto's directness.
"Naruto, it's important enough that he contacted me and wanted you there ASAP." Sarutobi spoke barely above a whisper. Naruto narrowed his eyes at the Chief.
"Me? Specifically me?" He asked.
"Yes but I suggest you bring Lee with you. Safety precaution." Sarutobi waved them off. "Off you go then. We don't have all day for you to stand around my office." Naruto nodded and headed for the door.
"Naruto!" Sarutobi called suddenly. The blond turned around.
"Yes Chief?"
"Please, please, I beg you, keep yourself in check. Your record's bad enough."
"Yes Chief."
The two left the station. Lee peered at the address. They were given a location different from his office. His house maybe? Naruto didn't seem to care. He dumped it into the back seat randomly and drove off. He didn't even take a second glance. Instead he drove in the opposite direction.
"Uhh… Naruto…" Lee pointed out the window back at the turn they were supposed to take.
"Let the bastard wait." Naruto smirked. "We're taking the long way and we're visiting Haruno-san."
"But the Chief…"
"The Chief isn't going to do anything. He knows how I work and that I do things my way. He said to keep myself in check. He didn't tell me I can't do anything." Naruto turned his way for a split second before concentrating up ahead. They whizzed through traffic and parked closer to eh hospital entrance. Naruto flashed his badge and the two headed up the stairs to Sakura's room. Once again Naruto just barged in.
"Haruno-san!" He stopped dead short in his tracks. The bed was empty and she was nowhere in sight. The bathroom door was opened and her windows were shut. Lee pushed past Naruto and opened her drawers. Nothing. Everything's been removed. Instantly Naruto turned and left in search of the information desk.
"Where's Haruno Sakura?" He asked as he slammed his hands down onto the counter. The woman looked startled and confused but checked her up.
"She's been discharged to a different hospital."
"By who?"
"One of our doctors… Tsunade."
"… She's a victim in a rape and attempted murder case! How can you move her and not inform the PD!" The woman backed up hesitantly. She placed her hands up defensively against Naruto's wrath.
"Sir… please, I didn't move her! Doctor Tsunade made all the decisions! I had nothing to do with it!" She pleaded. Naruto leaned further against the counter. His eyes narrowed and he growled slightly. The woman plastered herself against the wall and whimpered.
"Naruto!" Lee came up behind him and pulled him back. "You're scaring her!" He tried to reason with the raging blond man. He pulled him towards the chairs and sat him down. He took the seat next to him. Instantly the blond started to speak furiously.
"How could they do that! They can't move a victim without telling us!"
"I know how you feel, Naruto. But anger doesn't really get you anything. Just relax and we'll deal with this calmly." Naruto closed his eyes and covered them with his hands. Repeatedly he breathed in and out. His mind focused on ramen. Ramen always calmed him down. He loved ramen. It always smelled like heaven. Ramen never lets him down. He opened his eyes.
"Ok, she said a doctor named Tsunade transferred her." Naruto began. Lee nodded. "All we got to do is find this doctor." He stood up and walked back to the information desk. Upon his arrival the woman shrank back again. Lee assured her Naruto wasn't going to hurt her. Slowly she pulled back towards the counter and stood in front of them. She was still a bit edgy though.
"Tell me where Tsunade is." Naruto demanded. The woman checked it up on the computer.
"Tsunade is not on call today. She'll be back in two days." The woman announced. Naruto cursed. He bit his thumb a while before pulling out their card.
"Tell her to give me a call when she comes back. I need to talk to her." Naruto said.
"Will do sir." She seemed to have completely gotten over her fears as she took the card from Naruto's hand and jotted down what he said. She tapped it to the card and turned around. She searched out Tsunade's name on the board behind her and thumb tacked it under it. "She will be notified when she returns." The woman smiled as she turned back.
"One more thing. Where was Haruno Sakura relocated?" He asked. She clicked around on the keyboard and frowned. She tried it again and again but the same frown decorated her face.
"This… this is ridiculous." She muttered. "Excuse me sir. I'll be right back." She headed to the back room and poked her head in.
"Hey Rebecca!" She shouted. Another voice answered.
"Yeah?"
"Did you take a peek at the Haruno file?"
"Nope, why?"
"It's encrypted."
"What?" The nurse Rebecca came into view as she stepped out of the back room. They two headed back to the computer. Rebecca clacked around on the keyboard before frowning as well. "That can't be. Why would anyone encrypt her file? There was no need. There wasn't any vital information that might be leaked." Rebecca muttered.
"Is everything ok?" Naruto asked the routine question though he knew everything wasn't ok. Rebecca turned to him and sighed.
"I'm sorry sirs but the file is encrypted for some reason. Someone must have made a mistake though such a rare one has never been done. We don't encrypt many files here at the hospital. It's almost not needed." Rebecca placed a hand to her cheek and stared at the screen. "I wonder if it's really a mistake." Then she turned to Naruto and Lee. "Anyway, I'm really sorry." She apologized.
"No problem." Naruto waved and walked away but turned back around. The two nurses looked at him expectantly. He leans against the counter once more and gives them a small smile.
"Sorry to keep bothering you like this but can you explain to me a little about this doctor Tsunade?" Naruto asked. The two nurses looked at each other then smiled and turned back to Naruto. Rebecca began first.
"Dr. Tsunade is one of the best doctors in the country. We're really lucky she's working in our hospital."
"Yeah! She won a lot of awards." The other nurse chimed in.
"Uh huh, she won about 4 awards for saving a lot of lives and curing many diseases other can't."
"Not to mention she's weird."
"You got that right, Claire. She's not one of the nicest people we've seen but she is one of the nice people when she's sober enough to be." Rebecca giggled. Naruto perked up at her last sentence so does Lee.
"Sober?" Lee asked them. Claire and Rebecca look at each again before continuing.
"We know we're not supposed to say this to the cops but Dr. Tsunade has a drinking problem and apparently she performs better when she's drunk. That's how she got all her awards. But she's real nasty when she's drunk. However when she's not drunk she's quite nice." Claire whispered in a guilty kind of way. Naruto and Lee nodded their heads playing along.
"Thanks a lot, girls." Naruto bid them good bye and the two walked out of the hospital.
"Who would encrypt her file? She was a simple rape victim…" He muttered. Lee placed a thumb to his bottom lip.
"Perhaps this doctor Tsunade has something to do with it." Lee suggested.
"Probably…"
"She had no reason to move Haruno-san. Haruno-san was doing quite well in this hospital. She was recovering on schedule."
"You have a point. Maybe the encrypted file and her sudden move are connected. Anyway, we can't do much now since this doctor is out. Let's head over to the Uchiha's place. I think we've dragged this out long enough." Naruto unlocked the door and they both got in.
The drive to Uchiha Sasuke's house was silent. Each lost in their own thoughts.
The Uchiha resident wasn't what they expected. Sure they knew it was on the rich side of the town but they didn't expect the house to be separate from the rest of the neighborhood. People turned their heads as the two pulled up in the Uchiha's driveway. An old used car pulling up in front of rich person's house wasn't an everyday sight to them. The two stepped out of the car and Naruto locked it. Though he was positive that even if he didn't lock the car no one would steal it anyway. It was so old and useless compared to the neighborhood. Even the concrete looked better than his car! He grumbled but sucked it up. He led the way up the ridiculous front steps. They climbed the three steps then walked this long walkway to the front door where they climbed another set of steps. Naruto's eyes twitched as he pressed the doorbell and fucking tune answered him back.
"THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT!" He couldn't help but yell. Lee jumped back and placed a hand to his heart.
"Naruto?" He questioned though he didn't really want to know. The door opened and a maid appeared. She looked at them with a curious face.
"How may I help you?" She had a Caribbean accent. Now that Naruto looked at her she looked Caribbean as well. Her hair was exotic black and her eyes were emerald green. She was tanned and wore her maid uniform tight against her body.
"I'm Detective Uzumaki and this is Detective Lee. Uchiha Sasuke wanted to speak to us?" The two showed her their badges. She still didn't offer a smile. But she welcomed them in.
"Uchiha-sama is in his study." She led the two up a large staircase and through an even larger hallway. "Though I'm a bit appalled." Naruto arched an eyebrow at her choice of word: "appalled". "Uchiha-sama said you two would arrive about an hour ago yet I didn't see your arrival till much later." She spoke. Her voice hinted away her intentions. She obvious felt degraded for some reason. She looked at them through the corner of her eye and he noticed the piercing dislike she has on her. Naruto ignored her and took a look around the house. It was designed with antiques and wood looked expensive perhaps one of the rare kind of wood? He wouldn't know. The maid stopped in front of a door and knocked.
"What is it?" Sasuke's muffled voice answered. She bowed even though the Uchiha couldn't see her.
"Uchiha-sama, the detectives have arrived." She spoke with respect.
"You're dismissed."
"Hai." She pushed past Naruto roughly making sure to hit him with her shoulder. She held her head up high and tapped her way down the stairs making sure her heels clicked loudly against the floor. Naruto recognized that: an attempt to make one seem higher than one is on the social ladder. He ignored her again.
"Come in." Sasuke practically ordered. Naruto gripped his fist but opened the door. He stepped through with Lee behind him as usual. The room wasn't anything special. Just a typical study with a desk and files stuffed everywhere. A sofa took up one side of the room while shelves were on the other side. A small table was placed next to the door. Small amounts of snacks and coffee bags and sugar were placed on there. Sitting behind the desk was Sasuke writing furiously on a piece of paper before flipping to a different one and signing it several times.
"You're late." He spoke without looking up. Naruto huffed.
"I'm quite sorry, Uchiha-san. We had some loose ends to tie up." Lee apologized. The Uchiha looked up and placed his pen down. He stared at Lee quietly.
"… I suppose I can over look it." He spoke suddenly. Naruto moved forward.
"You've placed a call to the station requesting our presence. Did something happen?" Naruto asked getting straight to the point. Sasuke sighed and stood up bringing an envelope with him.
"Unfortunately yes. After you two left my office the other day I continued to work as usual but when I got home I found this in my mailbox. There's no return address on it. Nothing; blank." He handed over the envelope to Naruto. The blond took it and opened it up. Inside was just one piece of paper. Lee peered over his shoulder as he opened the piece of paper. He noted that it was folded neatly into three. The note inside the paper was typed.
"Uchiha Sasuke, I know the cops suspect you. I've seen them outside your office and I suggest you turn yourself in or you'll meet total demise. You have been warned." Naruto read out loud. He looked up from the paper to find Sasuke staring at him expectantly.
"Someone sure wants you nailed." Naruto commented.
"I figured as much so I called you." Sasuke replied. Naruto placed the paper and envelope on Sasuke's desk.
"Why'd you call us though? Most people who get blackmailed try their best to hide it and solve the issue themselves. You did the opposite. You called us in." Naruto narrowed his eyes as he stared past Sasuke. The Uchiha chuckled.
"I'm not most people. Did you forget? I'm a world famous therapist." Sasuke walked back to his chair and sat down. "I, of course, went through the situation multiple of times and tried my best to see the best choice. Apparently calling you in to see the letter was a better choice than to do what 'most people' do." He smirked. Naruto smirked back.
"Well then, Uchiha-san, I'm assuming you'll cooperate with us?" Sasuke nodded. "Good. First things first. Are you aware of anyone you know personally who holds some sort of grudge against you?" Naruto asked.
"You think it's someone I know personally?" Sasuke arched an eyebrow.
"Naturally considering the way the letter was sent." Naruto pointed to the letter's contents. "The words are typed. Meaning if the person wrote the words you would have recognized his penmanship. His other choice would have been newspaper cut outs but instead he chose to type them. That's another point. You Uchiha Sasuke are of the top social class, one of the rich folks. People you know are most likely all rich folks. And we all know rich folks won't succumb down to using newspaper cut outs even when threatening people. Am I right?" Naruto leaned on Sasuke's desk and gave him a smug look. Sasuke returned it with an approving one.
"Impressive. If you ever need a job I'll offer you one. I could use someone like you in my office."
"My, how generous of you." Naruto smiled. "I'll keep that in mind when I'm in need of one."
"There are plenty of people who loathe me." Sasuke answered. "I can' think of one of them who don't want me nailed." Sasuke just made it more difficult.
A/N: Thank you for reading my story!
Whew! Done! I thought I would never finish this story! I was writing this in my school library since I have two free periods now. When the bell rang and I went to class; my teacher was absent so I continued writing. My sub caught me writing and not doing her work so grabbed my paper and read it. She called it trash and attempted to rip it. How rude can she be? She didn't even want to give it back to me! I had to report her. Pissed me off and delayed my updating.
See you all next time!
Bye Bye!
