It was pushing 12:00pm and Sakura was still sleeping. Sasuke was already up and wanted Sakura to get up soon so they could start the investigation again. His back was still in pain, but he could handle it. The medicine was helping him with the pain and the bleeding had stopped. 'Hopefully that cut wont scar me.' Sasuke thought to himself.

"Sakura, wake up." Sasuke said shaking her lightly awake.

She looked at him and turned the other way and closed her eyes.

He shook her again,"Come on Sakura, wake up. We need to go make a visit to Mario Alivanko."

She still wouldn't budge.

"Sakura, if you don't wake up, I am going to pour ice cold water on you." Sasuke said smirking.

With that statement, Sakura hurried and shot up off the floor. She didn't feel like having cold water poured on her. Espically if it was going to be ice cold.

"Ok, I'm up, I'm up." She said over again.

Sakura got up and walked upstairs to get dressed in her room while Sasuke went in the bathroom to change. The other day, he stopped at his house to bring extra clothes. He figured he would need it after the first encounter with Itachi, well, if the first person that broke into Sakura's house when they were there was Itachi.

Sakura had on a red short sleeve top on with a black mini skirt and red flip flops. She left her hair down with silver loop earrings. Her make up was basic, it was the usual foundation, blush, a very light pink eye shadow, with dark brown eyeliner, black masquera, and shiney clear lip gloss. She had a shiney black purse with her and inside she had her lip gloss with a few other cosmetics, some tissues, her wallet, a pen and a sheet of paper with the three suspects adresses written on it, a few other things, and her detective badge. Sakura usually carried around the larger purses.

She came downstairs when she was done seeing Sasuke who looked like he just got out of the shower with his hair still damp, but combed, a lime green Vans shirt, with blue jeans and black and white Etnie shoes. In his pocket he had a comb like any normal guy would carry around and his detective badge.

Sasuke looked Sakura up and down,"You look nice, All though you better hope we don't have to do any fighting today because I think it would be uncofertable to fight in a skirt.

She gave him an annoyed look and a sarcastic answer,"Oh aren't we funny. Well we're just going to visit Mario, I don't think he would be the type though to try to fight someone."

They began to walk to the car to find the tires flat.

"Are you serious? Look at my damn tires!" Sasuke said yelling.

Sasuke and Sakura were both shocked as Sakura began to say,"Oh my God, do you think it was Itachi?"

He was examining her car to make sure that was the only thing wrong with it,"It probably was, I hate that idiotic brother.of mine."

She could hear Sasuke mummble something else about Itachi, but she interrupted,"I guess we're going to have to take a bus then to Mario's house."

They walked down the street to the bus stop, as soon as they got there the bus was also coming down the street. Sakura and Sasuke both got on the bus and paid their feed.

"Excuse me, but do you think you could stop at Ichi Ave.?" Sakura said politely.

The bus driver gave her a warm smile, he said,"Sure thing, actually, it's along my route."

Sakura took a seat up front with Sasuke right beside her. Neither one of them started any conversations with any of the people on there. Sakura just kept looking out the window the whole time. After about fifteen minutes the bus stopped at Ichi Ave. Sakura and Sasuke got off and walked down a little piece of the street until they got to the house numbered 39. Sasuke knocked on the door.

A tall man with tan skin, jet black hair, and looked to be about in his early 40's answered the door,"Yes?"

Sakura began to speak,"Hi, I dont know if you remember me, but I'm Kimiko Haruno's daughter."

The man looked at both Sakura and Sasuke,"Yes, I remember, what do you want?"

Sasuke looked stright at the man," I dont know if you heard, but Mrs. Haruno died about a week and a half ago, I was wondering if we could ask you a few questions." He stated while pulling out his badge.

Mario tensed up and remained calm,"Oh, yea, sure, you guys can come in."

They walked in the house and sat n the large living room. The house was plain and ordinary, it had the look like a guy just lived there himself. The place was tidy, but it could have been slightly cleaner. Still, the place was liveable.

"I heard from a guy at the bar down the street that your mother died, um. I'm sorry, but I can't remember your name." Mario said sitting on the couch.

Sakura was seated on the love seat next to Sasuke," My names Sakura, then again I wouldn't exspect you to remember it because I only met you a few times."

He leaned back further on the couch,"Yes, that's right, anyway, I haven't spoken or seen your mother in three years."

Sakura glanced at Sasuke who did the same thing, Sakura replied," Wow, that's a long time, but may I ask, how did you guy's break up?"

Mario paused, but then answered her question," I met your mom in 2005, I can't remember what day though, anyway, before we broke up, me and your mother were at a resturant, after we ate I took her home. The whole time though she seemed unconfertable. I asked her what was wrong, but she said that she wanted to talk. I new by the tone of her voice that it was going to be anything I would like to hear. She said that she didn't love me and that as time went on she only saw me more as just a friend, someone to talk to. To tell you the truth, I accepted it. I wasn't bothered with what happened.. After that night, she never called or anything. I figured that she just moved on with her life."

'He seemes believeable,' Sasuke thought to himself.

Sasuke replied,"Are you sure that's all that happened that night. She didn't mention at all about any guy she might have met or anything during that break up?"

Mario looked at Sasuke,"No, that's all she said. She said that she only saw me as a friend."

Sasuke and Sakura both got up as Sakura replied,"Thank you for this information."

Mario walked them both to the door,"No problem, if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know."

Sakura and Sasuke waved and walked back down the street to come across a automobile shop.

"Let's stop here real quick, I need to get some tires sent to your hosue so I can get my car fixed." Sasuke said as he began to lead to the shop.

After Sasuke ordered his new tires, they bothe came out and Sasuke said to Sakura,"When my tires come in the morning and I fix the car, then will go and pay a visit to Surgio."
