Sakura ran to her car, fumbling with the keys until she was in it. Her heart was pounding and she seemed that she could barely drive. Her hands were shaking at the wheel and she was driving a little faster than normal. Tears swelling up in her eyes, but she didn't want to let them fall if she had to face everyone at her house. Her hair was falling out of her bun and she looked a mess. At the red light she fixed her hair. When it turned green she put her hands back on the road and tried to consentrate on her dirving. About 15 more minutes and she would be there.
Her mother died of suiside, but it didn't seem right. Her mother was a cheerful woman all the time. She seemed strong and always energetic. Sakura was just like her mother and they were very close. Her mother was always suportive of her, always proud of Sakura. Why would her mother have done this if her life seemed so perfect?
She flew down Sasumi St. and came to her mother's home where Naruto and his comrads were parked at. Her house was huge with the nicest garden beside it. Sakura's mother loved to grow vegetables and then always make a salad for her and her husband. Sakura's parents had plenty of money, how else would her father be able to hire the top policemen, women, and detectives in Tokyo? Plus, to live in Tokyo, you needed money, lots of money. At the house, Sakura had her own floor. Everything you needed in a house was all to Sakura on that floor, so anytime she felt like cooking, watching t.v. until late at night, or if she wanted to take a shower 3 in the morning, she could do it because that floor was to her use only. Still, why would her mother have to go to an extreme conclusion that she needed to kill herself? That was a terrible deed.
As she parked the car, she almost fell out the door, being so overwhelmed. Naruto hurried to her side to at least try to confert her, what else could he do?
"Sakura, I'm so glad you got here so quickly. Maybe you should just wait here and will take care of this." Naruto said pulling Sakura in a soft embrase.
Naruto just wanted Sakura to calm down, but that was defenitely not going to happen.
Sakura was wide eyed and shaking a little, she looked up at Naruto who had blue eyes and stricking blonde hair that was about 6'1" and said,"Naruto, please, please let me see my mother."
He pulled her in again to his soft embrase," I'm sorry Sakura, but it would be best for you to stay her outside, the scene is pretty horrific."
She again pushed him away, walking past him saying over her shoulder,"Well I'm sorry Naruto, but this is my mother we are talking about."
As she walked inside, she slowered her pase. She didn't believe that she could walk into her mothers bedroom and see her is such a grusome state. Her father was always so wrapped up in his work that he was barely ever home, she would maybe only get to see him twice a week, or sometimes maybe only once a month. He was always on business trips and telling Sakura that it was about top crimes that needed to be solved, but why was she never included? The only thing that wasn't going right with her mother was that she was boy crazy. Maybe her mother didn't commit suicide, maybe it was a murder diguise as a suicide.
The stairs crepped as Sakura walked up them. Down the hall she could see detectives searching for anything that could lead to another theory of this crime, but nothing was all they found. Unfortunitley it seemed as just a suicide was taken place, no finger prints, no show prints, nothing stolen, everything was in place where it should be, but something just still didn't feel right to Sakura.
They began to put her mother in a body bag as one of the policeman began talking to Sakura," Are you Sakura Haruno?"
Sakura couldn't help but stair at them while her mother was being taken away for further inspections,"Yes, I am."
"Well Sakura, we couldn't find anything that could lead us to a homacide. I'm really sorry." Officer Yama replied.
Sakura just staired at them, this was really happening to her.
Officer Yama placed a hand on her shoulder,"We'll tell you if we find anything."
Sakura only bowed her head down and began to cry,"Thank you, I just want to be alone now," brushing off his hand, then walking back down the stairs to find Naurto talking to Det. Uchiha, the last person she wanted to see.
She hurried past them, all she wanted to do was just curl up and cry to herself, after all, her mother had just died.
"Sakura!" Det. Uzumaki yelled from the top of his lungs,"Hold on a minute!"
Sakura stopped in her tracks to only turn around. What could they want now? Neither one of them would be able to cheer her up, espically Det. Uchiha, otherwise known as Sasuke. Sasuke was 6'2" and was built perfectly, probably one of the best looking guys in Tokyo. He had pitch black hair, and black eyes that seemed peircing. Sakura always had competition with Sasuke. Both of them always challenged the other to find out who could solve a case first. Basically, they were both at the same level of knolege. There competition all began at high school, where they both scored perfect scores on there finals, both of them wanting to be the best. The only thing they wouldn't tell each other was, they were both impressed with one another.
Naruto and Sasuke came running up beside her, with Naruto speaking first,"Sakura, maybe you would like to come stay with me for a couple of days, I mean, it's no good to be all by yourself after what just happened, maybe you would like some company, someone to at least help you calm down."
She took her keys out and walked over to her car, before opening her door she said,"Thanks Naruto but I would just like to be alone for a while, this whole incident has me overwhelmed."
She droped her keys to find only Sasuke bending down to retrieve them. Before handing them back, he found that she was shaking, probably havin a nervous break down.
"How about I just drive you home Sakura since your in no state of mind to drive." He said pulling her gently by her arm to his black BMW.
She pulled her arm away,"No, I'll be fine. I don't need your help, all I want is to be alone, ok? Just leave me alone," Sakura was still shaking.
Naruto waved as he walked back to his Honda Civic," Maybe it would be best if you took her home. I'll check on you later Sakura, I got another call about a bank being held up, so I need to go call my team. No need to worry, I can at least handle this one."
He spead off, Sasuke trying again to pull Sakura over to his car,"Listen Sakura, just let me do this, we can come back in the morning if your not shaking and stuff and retrieve your car. How about we stop and get some coffee or something to calm you down."
Sakura sat in his car, she was now balling her eyes out. Her mother was just about all she had, now she was gone, and Sakura was more alone then ever. 'Now it would have been great if my mom and dad deside to have another child when I was little,' Sakura thought. 'At least I would have someone else to cry with,' She said wipeing her tears and Sasuke beginning to drive away from the house.
Sasuke broke the silence,"You know Sakura, I don't think your mom commited suicide."
Sakura looked at him suprisingly and shocked, at least she wasn't the only one who thought it,"What do you mean?"
He looked at her and then back to the rode,"I think she was murdered."
