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 3
Naruto gripped the small pen holder on Sasuke's desk with all his might. His knuckles turned white at the sight of Sasuke's relaxed position. He sat with his hands on his knees and back against his cushioned chair. He eyed Naruto's whitened knuckles; amused. Lee touched the tip of his tongue to his front canine tooth and looked off to the side. He didn't want to get involved. Naruto was full to the brim and ready to rage.
"Uchiha-san!" He shouted suddenly. Lee jumped.
"Yes?" Sasuke's voice dripped of amusement.
"I know you think nothing about this threat but I assure you, this person is forcing you to admit to rape and attempted murder charges. Those are capital offenses and you can get 20 to life in jail. Do you want to spend the rest of your life in jail, Uchiha-san? Think about it. You've got a reputation that's overfilling the limit. Do you really want to crumple to the ground over something you didn't do?" Naruto's voice of reason had left him. He sounded reasonable but in truth, he was threatening the guy. Lee scratched his head and sighed. Sasuke moved forward and leaned on his hands.
"Whatever you say, Uzumaki-san. I don't plan on admitting to charges that I don't deserve. I didn't rape anyone and I didn't attempt murder. Whether the threats real or not, I'm not admitting to anything. You can charge me all you want but I'm telling you here and now, my lawyers are getting ready as we speak." Sasuke was full of confidence. Naruto pulled away from Sasuke's desk and released his pen holder. He glared at Sasuke.
"I hate you rich folks."
"I hate you poor folks." Sasuke replied nonchalant.
"I don't have time to play games with you Uchiha-san. I have a rape case on my desk that I just happened to take from two of the most ruthless people you'll ever see. I have other cold cases I got to solve then there's paperwork I got to do. Being a detective isn't all fun and games like a therapist. You earn millions. I earn barely enough to get by. I need to do my job and I suggest you help me or I will sue you for obstruction of police work and wring you dry of all your assets." Naruto succumbed down to basic threatening.
"And you detective will hear from my lawyer if you threaten me again." Sasuke spoke back.
"Naruto, take a deep breath." Lee suggested. He placed his hand on the blonde's shoulders. Naruto turned to him and took severe deep breaths. Lee switched places with Naruto and he stood in front of Sasuke who stared at him with curiosity.
"I'm sorry for Naruto's behavior Uchiha-san. However as Naruto described we're in a hurry and we have much to do. We would appreciate it if you would cooperate with us and we'll be on our way as fast as we can." Lee spoke with politeness. Sasuke arched an eyebrow at his words but motioned for Lee to continue.
"Thank you, Uchiha-san. Now, can you recall anyone who seemed more than hostile towards you? Someone who threatened you in the past; someone who caused trouble at your office or in your home, anyone will do." Lee asked. He got his note pad ready. Sasuke ruffled through his hair and thought for a minute.
"I don't have many enemies who are more than hostile towards me. As Uzumaki-san said most of my associates are of upper society. They won't dare cross the line. However there have been two or three that did. If I can recall correctly one of them was Hyuuga Neji. He had threatened me before, though it was a minor problem." Sasuke spoke.
"Hyuuga Neji? The son of the ambassador's right hand man?" Naruto asked.
"Yes." Sasuke answered. "I'm surprised you know him."
"It would be weird if I didn't." Naruto muttered.
"Oh?" Sasuke gave him a look.
"Never mind." Naruto waved it off. "What kind of threat did he make towards you?"
"He threatened to spread a false rumor about me and this porn actress. Apparently he has some unresolved issues with me that I don't know about." Sasuke leaned back against his chair. Lee jotted it all down.
"Did he ever go through with it?" Naruto asked.
"No."
"Anyone else?"
"No. The other two left the country many years ago."
"Thank you. We'll be on our way then." Naruto and Lee exited the house and headed back down to the station. It was as busy as ever. People scurried on with files and paper and warrants. Office doors opened and closed. Detectives and sergeants walked the halls debating on cases. Naruto and Lee was just a small portion of the events as they wedged their way through to the Chief's office. Naruto opened the door and marched in. Sarutobi looked up from conversing with Kabuto and Orochimaru. The two detectives turned around and smiled sinisterly. They always did that. Naruto ignored them.
"We have a new progress on the case." He announced.
"Naruto, can't you see I'm in a middle of a meeting?" Sarutobi asked.
"Nope." Naruto grabbed an extra chair and plopped himself down. He crossed his right ankle against his left knee.
"Naruto-!"
"To tell the truth, Sarutobi, I believe my case has taken a different direction and one of the country's top money makers are in trouble. Not to mention he's being threatened by another high status man." Naruto chose his words carefully. Sarutobi debated it for a minute before motioning for Kabuto and Orochimaru to leave.
"I'll talk to you two later." He left them.
"Thank you for seeing it my way, Sarutobi." Naruto smiled. Lee took a seat next to him.
"What is this different direction you're speaking of?"
"Someone sent a threatening letter to Uchiha Sasuke. It told him to admit to the charges or else he'll be in grave danger." Naruto showed Sarutobi the letter. The older male gripped the note in his hands firmly. As he read Naruto continued.
"We debated with him over the possibilities that the letter was sent by someone he knows. The way the contents are placed on the letter I believe the culprit is from the rich society. Someone he knows." Naruto looked at Lee. The male sat forward and flipped through his notepad.
"We had asked him about his past and present associates and asked him which one of them had a bigger problem with him than the rest. He named several but most of them left the country except for one: Hyuuga Neji."
"The ambassador's right hand man's son? Are you sure?" Sarutobi interrupted. Naruto shrugged.
"Uchiha Sasuke told us that Hyuuga Neji threatened him once before. He claimed that he would spread a false rumor about him having an affair with a porn actress. Though he never went through with it, we believe that Hyuuga Neji has the potential to send another threatening letter after hearing about Uchiha Sasuke's case. The chances are high after all, he did threaten him before." Naruto finished off. Lee nodded in agreement. Sarutobi sighed and ran a hand over his face. He dropped the letter on the table and leaned heavily on his hand.
"That's a serious accusation here Naruto, Lee. The son of the ambassador's right hand man is someone we can't just touch casually. One accusation and we'll have lawyers up our asses." Sarutobi warned them.
"I know that Sarutobi. I've accused many high society men before." Naruto answered. "However, if this guy is really did do it then are we really going to sit back and twiddle our thumbs? The threat made to Uchiha Sasuke, a suspect in our rape case, could very well lead us to the real perp in the bigger case. We have to keep going down this line." Naruto fought back. Sarutobi sighed again and raised a hand for him to wait a minute or two as he debate their choices. The two detectives sat quietly as Sarutobi organized the case in his mind. Lee looked at Naruto and Naruto looked at Lee before staring at Sarutobi together.
"… Fine… Keep going down this line but don't approach Hyuuga Neji. Don't even let them know you're investigating the man. If they catch whiff of it then they'll lawyer up immediately and they will restrain us from going any further. Then we'll really be stuck. Understood?" He addressed Naruto more than he addressed Lee. The young blond male was prone to getting in sticky situations that caused them a lot more than it should in the first place. Naruto nodded eagerly. He was happy Sarutobi approved his intensions.
"Don't worry, Sarutobi. I've investigated these people before, like I said. I know how to handle it."
"Good and keep an eye on Lee. It's his first time." Then he turned to Lee. "Lee, please be careful. These people aren't like the normal folks. They'll tear you apart piece by piece if you're not careful with the investigation." Lee nodded.
"Dismissed." Sarutobi waved them on. The two detectives moved out of the office. Standing before the door on the other side was Orochimaru and Kabuto. They blocked the two from walking any further than three steps away from the door. Naruto raised an eyebrow.
"Can we help you?" He asked restraining the hostility he felt.
"Seems like you're in a pinch, no?" Orochimaru ran his tongue over his teeth. He smiled wide at Naruto.
"Eavesdropping are we? Quite rude if you'd ask me. I would have thought you'd have had better upbringing. Perhaps I was mistaken." Naruto answered back placing his voice high and above Orochimaru's. The man sneered but held back his voice.
"We can take it off of you if you want. You know… make your lives easier." Orochimaru snickered and rubbed his hands greedily.
"Save it for your dreams, Orochimaru." Naruto shot back instantly. "We were given the case and we have decided to stick to it. If you want a case that badly talk to Sarutobi about a cold case. Perhaps those are your calling. Investigating a cold case that is… after all, there's no rush in a cold case." Naruto smirked and pushed past the two. Lee followed but focused his eyes on something else besides the two sinister beings. They grumbled but walked back to their own desk. Naruto and Lee sat down at their side of the squad room.
"What do we do now, Naruto?" Lee asked. Naruto stretched and looked at the clock. It was 3:45 p.m., several hours before the day was over. He rubbed the back of his neck.
"Well since our target is Hyuuga Neji we're going to have to-!"
"Hey, how'd it go?" Kakashi walked forward with yet another cup of coffee. The two detectives turned to him.
"How'd what go?" Naruto asked.
"The case. I heard you got called out by one of your suspects." Kakashi sat himself down on Naruto's table. Naruto and Lee looked up at him.
"One big giant circle that's not ending anytime soon, is how I'd describe it." Naruto sighed heavily.
"Really? That bad?" Kakashi sipped his coffee. "Perhaps I can help. Care to share?" Naruto stayed silent for a moment before leaning back.
"We're in a pinch. Our suspect received a threatening letter. The prime suspect: Hyuuga Neji." Naruto stared at the ceiling. "I don't even know where to begin. Sarutobi told us to steer clear of the man but continue to investigate."
"Ouch, that's tough." Kakashi sympathized with the two youngsters. "If it's Hyuuga Neji, then… you can probably start with his flings." Kakashi answered.
"His flings?" Lee asked confused.
"Yeah, Hyuuga Neji may be the ambassador's right hand man's son but he's well known himself on a different scale. He has had more women than an Emperor of China had concubines. I'm sure some of them have a few yarns to spin here and there." Kakashi shrugged and got up.
"Anyway, see if you can go about that. I got to head back. Paperwork is screaming for my attention." He waved and headed to his own desk. The two detectives stared at each other.
"His flings, huh? Think it's a good shot?" Lee asked.
"Maybe. Hyuuga Neji is from the rich society. There are many things he can't do in public that he would do in private… let's have a look." Naruto picked up the phone and dialed an extension. It rung several times before someone picked up.
"Hey, its Naruto… yes… listen, I need your help." He waited several minutes before the voice came back. "Get me the names of the women Hyuuga Neji has been with these past years… thank you." Naruto placed the phone back. Lee watched him expectantly.
"Now all we can do is wait. They're checking them as we speak." Naruto smiled. "In the mean time, we should take another look at Haruno-san's case. We can't locate her… shit! I forgot to tell Sarutobi about it." The two got up and headed for Sarutobi's office again. Naruto barged in.
"What now?" Sarutobi asked.
"I forgot to tell another piece of vital information." Lee closed the door as Naruto raced to Sarutobi's desk.
"We went to visit Haruno-san in the hospital. Some doctor named Tsunade moved her to a different hospital without notifying the PD." Naruto said. Sarutobi sat straighter.
"Did she know she was a victim in a rape and attempted murder case?"
"She should. What was strange was Haruno-san's hospital file was encrypted." Sarutobi sighed at this new piece of information. He leaned back in his chair and thought for a moment before giving Naruto instructions.
"Find this Tsunade and Haruno-san. She is the victim and we let her out of our sights. It's not going to look good for us if the board finds out." Naruto nodded and headed back out. Lee looked up from the file they created as Naruto sat back down at his desk across from him.
"So?" He asked. Naruto sighed.
"It's just one big circle like I said. We got Uchiha-san's blackmail and then we got a missing victim on our hands. Anyway, try and see if you can pull some of this Tsunade's background." Naruto got up from his seat and grabbed his car keys. Lee looked at him a bit weird.
"Where you going?" He asked.
"I'm going back to Uchiha-san's place. Those guys are taking too long checking up Hyuuga's flings. Perhaps he might know something." Lee nodded and waved good bye as Naruto headed out. He drove his car down the road to Sasuke's house for the second time that day. This time he was less agitated when he walked down the long walk way and up the stairs. His eyebrow twitched at the door bell's tune but he remained calm. No sense in making a big fuss after he heard it once already. The door opened to reveal the same maid. She scowled at him. He scowled back.
"Look, I'm not so happy to be here either. Is Uchiha-san home? This is quite urgent." He explained to her in a not so polite tone. She eyed him before letting him in. As she did before she led him back up to the study and knocked.
"What?" Sasuke's muffled voice answered in annoyance.
"Uchiha-sama, the detective from before has come back." She explained in her Caribbean accent. There was silence before the door opened. Sasuke produced a scowl but waved the maid away.
"Can I help you, detective Uzumaki?" He asked a bit annoyed. Naruto just smiled and got right to the point.
"I've reviewed the case about that blackmail letter with my superior. I'm here to gather some more information on Hyuuga Neji as directed." Naruto explained a bit cheerful. Sasuke scowled at him but invited him in. This time he relaxed against the couch. With a smirk he patted the seat next to him. Suspicious Naruto took the seat next to him. The raven offered him some snacks and a little of tea which he accepted since he was a bit hungry anyway. He never really liked to turn down food anyway. However Sasuke himself didn't touch any of his own treats. He just sat and drank the tea he poured.
"What is it you want to know about Hyuuga?" He asked. Naruto placed the sweets on the table and turned towards him.
"I'm sure you're aware that Hyuuga Neji has many flings with women?" Sasuke nodded. "I would like to know who those women were." Sasuke shifted and Naruto could have sworn the man moved closer to him.
"I'm not that familiar with him, Uzumaki-san. Though I do know a few of his flings." Sasuke picked randomly at a thread on his dress pants. Naruto took a sip from his drink.
"Can you tell me about them?" He asked.
"Hmmm… there's really isn't much to tell. They were all gold diggers." Sasuke shrugged.
"Anything else besides the obvious?" Naruto was becoming irritated for some reason. Suddenly he felt quite sleepy like he hadn't slept in a day or two. His eyelids fell heavy and his emotions went awry. Irritation scratched at his heart as he opened his mouth to let some of it out. Then he heard Sasuke snicker. Instinctively he turned and lashed out at him.
"What the fuck you laughing at!" He shouted. Sasuke raised an eyebrow at him before reaching forward and taking the tea from the blond. He placed it softly on the table and moved so he was pressed up close to the blond.
"Naruto, you're tired. Sleep…" His voice commanded softly. It lulled Naruto further into his slumber. Weakly he grabbed the raven by the shirt and lifted his head to glare, failingly, at him.
"Don't… call… me… Naru… to…" his head drooped and he lost his grip on Sasuke's shirt. Unconscious he slumped against Sasuke who willingly wrapped his arm around his shoulder and the other arm under his legs. With ease he picked the blond up and called for his maid. She was already waiting for him outside.
"Is he the one Uchiha-sama?" she asked immediately. Sasuke looked down at Naruto before walking to his room.
"Of course he is. I will never mistake his shine for another. I will never mistake what's mine."
