A/N: Chapter 3 - I will condense this whole case into three chapters, probably next week, school's killing me... I have hard time uploading this and characters might be confusing so..I'll do a reintroduction of all the involved people after every chapter...

Naruto and Sakura were led inside the room of Shikamaru, that said, Sakura observed the whole place, its really plain and clean that it looked unoccupied for a long time.

"Oi, Shikamaru, I know you heard about the news, you know? The murder of Nagoya Moyano." Naruto started.

"Yeah, I heard." He answered, lazily. Naruto gave him the details, even the confidential ones, like he's also authorized to know everything.

"Well, we think its foul play, like its the other way around, its the wife that's the victim not the husband."

"Does Inspector Nagato know about that speculation?"

"Well, he's too certain that Moyano-san did it."

"What is her connection to the case?" Shikamaru points Sakura. "Surely, You're from ER, you didn't transfer to the forensic department."

"She's the one that saved her." Naruto answered. "And she thinks what I think too."

"Still, it doesn't justify why you need to bring her here." Shikamaru grinned at Naruto. "You wanna look cool or something?"

"What?! Of course not!" Naruto turned quite crimson.

"Ok...this is really bothersome." Shikamaru yawned. "Anyway, tell me what you found out."

"Oh! The medica - " Naruto was starting but he was cut off, and Shikamaru points a finger at Sakura, meaning he wants the details to be from her.

"Since they fell in the second floor of their abode, she had a concussion that almost led to epidural hematoma, but it was treated however it was seen on her CT scan that there's another healing hematoma." Sakura stated. "It was second impact syndrome. I suspected marital abuse, seeing some marks in her trunk, the tenderness of her kidneys and presence of myoglobin in her urine meant rhabdomyolysis that can tell she's being constantly injured."

"Ok. That's all?" Shikamaru yawned again and Sakura frowned.

"Are you sure you can help?" She asked. "That woman needs help."

"I know." Shikamaru answered. "You'll be surprised at how this'll end." Sakura was surprised when he said that, then he stood up and opened the door, his thumb then pointed outside, gesturing for them to go out.

"Oi, give me your updates, dattebayo!"

"Yeah, yeah...troublesome." Shikamaru said and then grabbed Naruto's hand when he saw Sakura far from them. "Someone's watching that woman, Naruto. Don't get your hopes high for her."

"Ehh? What are you talking about?!"

"Besides, her husband just died, so I doubt she's in the mood to think like you." Shikamaru tapped his back. "But I'm serious, someone's onto her. Damn, the weather's nice for a nap." Shikamaru entered his room again leaving a flabbergasted Naruto, outside.

"You can tell me honestly..." Sakura pleaded but Moyano-san wasn't even looking at her, "You know, if you did this for self defense, everything will - "

"I did nothing!" Suddenly she had an outburst. "I don't know..."

"But?" As soon as Sakura asked that Moyano turned away.

"I know your type...pretending to have sympathy but in the end you'll just use that against me. That's what police do..."

"Maybe." Sakura's eyes glinted. "But I'm not a police. I'm a doctor." When she said that Moyano looked up to her, somehow beginning to loosen up. Sakura placed her hand atop hers. "I know how it feels to lose someone and at the same time be blamed for it, but you have to speak for yourself, or else everyone will look up to you that way for the rest of your life."

Seeing as she somehow made an imprint, Sakura decided not to push herself more so she stood up and was about to go.

"Who..." Moyano spoke and Sakura stopped. "Who takes care of Yumi?"

"Yumi?" She asked again. "Who is Yumi?" However, Moyano gave her the cold shoulders again, Sakura bowed and exited the room, hoping that when she came back, Moyano will be ready to tell her or Naruto.

"Sakura-chan!" The pinkette whipped her head on the direction of her caller, it was Naruto, the said blonde rushed to her side, holding some papers. "I see you're still interested with the case." He grinned.

"Somehow..." Sakura smiled. "So how was it?"

"What?"

"The autopsy report?"

"Well...the thing is... it said that the stab wound was not post mortem...So it really is the cause of death" Naruto rubbed his chin. "But according to this report, at first its not lodge deep to cause a death blow, but then was pushed deep causing internal hemorrhage leading to his death."

"I see."

"I'll check on the house later to find some other clues, it just bothers me why she won't talk..."

"There's a reason for everything Naruto." Sakura smirked. "Well, I'll try to talk to her again to help you."

"Thanks, Sakura-chan...However...about help, I need you for something..." Naruto scratched the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Hmmmm?"

meanwhile...

"I don't know anymore..." Moyano wiped a tear. "But...I wouldn't..."

"It seems to me you can't remember anything."

"Why do you want to know about that day?"

"Just tell me the date."

"August..." Moyano tried to think again. "August 5..."

"Ok."

"Don't worry, I'm not actually interfering with your investigation, I'm just trying my best to make her talk, after all she's more a witness than she is a suspect. Everything's a lot messier up here than downstairs." Sakura said as she looked around Moyano's second floor, specifically the master's bedroom.

"That's right, it gives detective Nagato a greater conviction that its's really Moyano-san's fault." Naruto looked around too, careful not to ruin anything.

"The thing is, why isn't there any pictures of them together, or any pics at all...but...what do you need me here for?" Sakura can't help but ask, and Naruto scratched the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Ahhh...Just to help me check some things, probably medical stuffs."

"Really?" Sakura gave him a withering look. "Is this place really allowed to be infiltrated now?"

"Yeah, cordon's been removed, dattebayo."

Sakura felt quite sad for Mrs. Moyano, after all, like me... she doesn't deserve such parting. She wore gloves as told by Naruto and then decided to just try this detective experience.

Naruto then glanced at her, suddenly remembering what Shikamaru said. "I heard...your husband died." Sakura was rooted on her spot. "Do you somehow empathize... you know... with that woman?"

"No I don't, and I think this is not the time to talk about me."

"Yeah...you're right."

She checked around until she saw something like a picture peeking under the bed, it looked like it was supposed to be hidden but was rushly placed there, she bent down and pulled the photo out.

Its a photo of Mrs. Moyano-san with a pretty girl and another man, not her husband, who had an arm slinging on her shoulder, Sakura can't imagine why someone can be that affectionate to a married woman, but they actually looked more like a family. Then she saw other stack of papers which she also retrieved.

"Hey..."

"Yeah?"

"Adoption papers...?" She read and Naruto went to her side to check. "Are they planning to adopt a baby?"

"Well..." Naruto looked at the papers and nodded.

"If they were, I don't think she has to murder him." Sakura said, Naruto nodded again, and decided to put the papers in some plastic document seals. "Also..." she handed the picture to him.

"Oh...it's a family picture of her and..." Naruto relooked the picture. "Another guy?"

"You said, Mr. Moyano's the one who has another woman."

"That's what they said." Naruto looked at her flabbergasted.

"I think you guys should see the other woman."

Sakura really can't understand herself, this is not her problem, she had her own life to deal with and yet she puts her nose on something she's not even inclined to do, but here she is inside the hospital, entering, Moyano Kiyoko's room.

"You again?" Kiyoko has a nicer tone now, she looked up to Sakura, who sat beside her.

"Hey...uhmm...do you remember what we last talked about?" Sakura held her hand. "You asked about Yumi, who is she?"

"Huh..." Kiyoko said when she saw Sakura inside. "Where is Yumi? If my husband is dead, where is our daughter?"

"Daughter?" Sakura remembered the adoption papers. "Are you talking about your planned adoption?"

"No...She's our real daughter, lately I haven't seen her and..." Kiyoko's hand rubbed her forehead, it seems aching. "I can't remember when I last..."

"Calm down." Sakura became worried of Kiyoko's sudden pain. "If - "

Suddenly someone entered and it surprised Sakura, she turned around and then she saw, pineapple haired guy, lazy bum, Shikamaru Nara. "Oh...Dr. Sakura." He walked towards them and stood in front of the bed in his usual slouchy demeanor.

"You? The guy who kept asking for my wedding anniversary." Kiyoko said and perplexed Sakura.

"Wedding anniversary?" Shikamaru ignored her and he gets a picture from a folder he's bringing.

"You know this kid?" He shows a picture of a girl, Sakura recognized it as the kid she saw on the photo she found. Kiyoko's eyes watered and she nodded.

"She's my daughter, Yumi!" She exclaimed. "Where is she now? Where is she?"

Shikamaru grimaced, "This guy, Do you know him?" Next he shows a picture of a guy, around his forties, black haired, somehow handsome and he's the same guy she saw too, in the supposed family picture.

"I don't..." Kiyoko stopped, like she knows the guy but she can't tell what or how their relationship is. "I...I..."

"Ok, this is enough for now." Shikamaru hid the pics on the folder and yawned and Sakura's confused with what he is doing, and so is Kiyoko, but Shikamaru just waved a hand and walked outside the room.

"What the?" Sakura mutters.

"He is weird, last time he came here, he asked me about my husband's full name, birthday our wedding anniversary...I...I don't know what he's up to."

"I'll try to find out." Sakura said and then went out of the room to look for Shikamaru, although, he's just across the room, leaning on the wall and it looks like he was expecting her to come out and meet him.

He looked at her lazily and then yawned before he crossed his arms again. "You really are interested with this case aren't you?"

"Why did you ask those questions?"

"I have to meet Naruto, so I'll answer both of your questions when we meet." He answered then started walking, she followed him.

Naruto was in the hospital lobby, waiting for Shikamaru, when he glanced he saw him with Sakura, who looked in distress, as usual, Shikamaru sat in the chair across them, while Sakura sat beside Naruto.

"Oi, Shikamaru, what's the deal?" The black haired guy threw the files at Naruto, the blonde opened it and saw the pictures, Shikamaru showed Kiyoko. "Hey, I saw this pics at the house."

"The guy's name is Kyota Mizuki, 39, he's a small business owner and is reported missing, half a year ago by Iwagakure's police department." Shikamaru scratched the back of his head. "The kid's name is Yumi Mizuki."

"Yumi? That's the daughter, Kiyoko-san's been calling." Sakura said, Naruto took another photo and surprise took over the two of them. The picture has a picture of a black haired woman that looks very much like Kiyoko.

"Aiko Mizuki, 36, also filed missing from Iwagakure." Naruto glanced at Shikamaru.

"I went too far with the case but...I'll let you handle the rest, I hope Inspector Nagato comes around and deal with it the right way." Shikamaru stood up and left them.

"If he said he went too far, he might have the answer already." Naruto scowled. "Ugh."

Sakura stared at Shikamaru's retreating back, If he has the answer, why can't he tell it?

"Have you given your theory to your superior?" Sakura asked

"Nuh-uh...I'm still going to check on the suspected other woman. But I'll talk to him later. "

Naruto knocked three times and a woman came out to check who it was, he looked at the woman, she has jet black hair, some glasses, well dressed and looked quite professionally, not pimpy-ish, or the other woman type, he has imagined, with curlers still on hair, revealing clothes and all...

"Oh hi, ugh...ma'am." Naruto greeted. "I'm detective Naruto and..."

"Detective? Oh... I've heard what happened to my husband and his woman...if you're gonna..."

"Wait, what?" Naruto looked quizzically at her. "Husband? Woman?"

"Ugh...you see a black haired guy just came here, he's from the insurance and is saying that my husband...oh sorry, ex-husband died and has some..."

"Ex-husband?" The woman sighed when she saw that Naruto look surprised. "Who are you miss?"

"Oh my God...Aren't you a police officer? Shouldn't you be at least familiar with who I am? Since I'm sure you're here because you think I had something to do with his death and his whore? Well...we've been divorced for a year and I cleared everything I have with him." She looks really annoyed and mad with Naruto. "And I'm Kiyoko Inori, a dietitian, by the way."

"Whoa...honestly...you've bombarded me with a lot of info even before I get inside your house, dattebayo." Naruto said.

"Well, its because I thought its gonna be like that insurance man again, for a courier it seems that his questionnaire is a lot more comprehensive than yours, I presume."

"Alright? Can I go inside, so we can continue this questioning? Dattebayo!"

"Inspector." Naruto went to Nagato's office. "I have something to tell, dattebayo."

"What is it?"

"About the Moyano case. I think we're misleading here." Naruto sat across him. "It appears, there's another Mrs. Moyano, I checked her out a while ago. The one we got is a woman named Aiko Mizuki, from Iwagakure." He handed the files, which Nagato skimmed.

"Iwagakure? How did you end up with this information?" Nagato raised an eyebrow at him, seeming skeptical at Naruto's sudden information.

"Well...I went back to the house, done the search more thoroughly and saw the photo and adoption papers I have submitted yesterday, so...I've done more digging, dattebayo."

"Ok...I'll consolidate with Iwagakure's police and get more information."

"Alright, inspector." Naruto bowed and went out of the room, this is a progress he'll share with Sakura.

Meanwhile ...

"Relax...Kiyoko...Relax...put that down..."

"Get away from her!" She was carrying a knife.

"Kiyoko, you know...we can deal with this the right way...Kiyoko..."

"No! Die!" And she stabbed him.

"You..."

"Die!" Kiyoko yelled until she sat up on her bed, metal clangs as even her shackled feet moved with that scary dream. She was suddenly aroused, she was covered in cold sweat, hands crept up to her face and she cried..." Oh my God...I really did it..."

The next day, Sakura heads to the hospital to visit Kiyoko again, on the entrance, Naruto was waiting for her, he joined her at the moment he saw her and then started telling her his discovery.

"Well...then...if the dental records are confirmed, that meant, her real name is Aiko Mizuki..." Sakura looked thoughtful for a minute, "Wouldn't this news convict her further?"

"Yeah, but I weighed everything...huh?" Suddenly they were surprised to see a lot of police in Kiyoko's room, and then a few seconds later, two policemen were carrying her out of the room, she's handcuffed. Naruto ran to the scene and Sakura followed. "What's going on?!"

"I commend you for your work detective Naruto. Her real name is Aiko Mizuki, and as of today she admitted doing the crime of killing Mr. Moyano." That was Nagato, speaking. "Its not just that, she is also being tied to the murder of her own family."

"Murder of her own family?" Sakura glanced at Aiko, her face was sullen, her eyes were looking down, the pinkette walk towards her. "That's not true."

"A person reported to Iwagakure's police station that a body was found at her former abode and it was Identified to be Mr. Kyota Mizuki's body." A police man said.

"Really?"

"I remember everything now...I killed him...B-but I don't know what they are saying...I know my daughter's still alive. Please find her." Aiko's teary eyes looked at Sakura, begging her for help until she was dragged by the policemen.

"I'm going to see what other details they found out. Dattebayo." Naruto said to Sakura before he followed with the other uniformed personnel.

Sakura visited the jail in hopes to clarify something, this is totally bothering her and she wanted to know why Kiyoko or Aiko, her real name, suddenly admitted for a crime she have denied a lot of times.

"This painting looks sad." Sakura stared at the screen, they have this assignment in Psychiatry about Vincent van Gogh and she have looked at the infamous 'Starry night' painting. Sasori handed her a cup of coffee. "Thanks. You know he's been branded crazy."

"A lot of artist are crazy." He shrugged and Sakura laughed at him.

"Then are you saying you're crazy?"

"Not really, crazy in love maybe?" He smirked making Sakura blush. "I know you'll ask me to draw that for you, right?"

"You know, there is this neurotransmitter we call Dopamine, it is said that decreased levels of it causes Parkinson's while higher levels causes Psychosis or craziness, you see when you are in love, Dopamine levels are higher, you get the point?"

"Ok? So that explain why being in love is crazy."

"Its just that...Love makes you do some things that you weren't really inclined to, some things that are crazy."

Sakura wiped a tear from her eye, she really hates flashbacks sometimes. She was allowed in the visiting room and she saw Aiko, looking as devastated as ever, she sat across her. "Why?" She can't think of anything to ask at this point.

"I stabbed him." Moyano said. "But...I don't know why...I just remembered before falling, he..."

"Why..." Aiko stared at him "Why..." she was holding a knife.

"Relax...Kiyoko..." Mr. Moyano moves back as she steps forward, until his back rests on the fence. "Kiyoko, you don't have to..." then she stabbed him, but she lets go and it didn't hit him that hard, he got up and was about to attack again but...

"I embraced him and we fell." Sakura stared at her in disbelief, "I don't remember anything before that..." Aiko rubbed her temple, suddenly.

"Hey…"

"I remember just darkness and car screech sound like it passes above me, but it's just dark…and I can't remember anything past that."

"I'll come back when you're ready." Sakura stood up and she walked out of the visiting room, on her way out, she was welcomed by Nagato, who looks annoyed at her.

"I remember hearing Naruto telling me you're an excellent ER doctor and not a nosy forensic psychiatrist, so I want to know why you keep on bothering us in this case."

"Look, I think she's confused and as a..." again with this dialogue. "As the doctor who treated her, I feel, I need to see to it that she's alright."

"ER doctor's relationship with their patients ends when the patients leave their room." Nagato walked up to her. "I've heard about your husband, or should I say ex-husband."

"What is this about?"

"You lost your husband and she did, however your husband was not killed by your own hands, hers was."

"You're not even sure with that yet." Sakura answered.

"Oh right, she killed two men."

"Inspector, I brought ex-Mrs. Moyano here." Naruto called, surprised to see Nagato and Sakura, conversing with each other. "Sakura-chan?"

"Officer?" The real Kiyoko showed up. "What do you need me here for?"

"To ID someone." Nagato answered and then the four of them went to a room with a large glass window inside, on the other side of the window, Aiko was there, restless, and it seems she can't see them.

"What do you need me here for, then?" Kiyoko looked at Aiko and it surprised Nagato. "What?"

"You can't recognize that woman?" Naruto asked.

"No." Kiyoko answered, curious as to why they asked. "Who is she?"

"She's your husband's other woman."

"No...she's not that, I haven't met that woman, or maybe, she's a new gal as he got rid of the previous one...he's such a maniac." Kiyoko said. "That's why I divorced him, the moment he hurt me."

"Hurt you? As in when he gets another woman?" Sakura asked.

"No...he hit me." And her answer just confirms everything Sakura has been theorizing.
