Chapter 3:

Naruto's PoV:

"Or at worst killed." I finished, in a final tone.

There was a moment of silence, as if we were commemorating the girl's disappearance, then Sasuke asked,

"What was her name?"

"... Hang on a second, I'm reading that now." I answered, skimming the pages to find any trace of a name.

Finally, I found it.

"She doesn't seem to have a last name... But she's called TenTen." I said, answering his question before reading on.

"TenTen, hmm? Weird name for a girl like her. Asian, perhaps?" Sasuke asked. (A/N: Don't want to offend anyone I just said that maybe she was Asian coz Naruto the anime is Japanese don't kill me if this offends you...)

"Perhaps." I said, sipping my tea. "We should find out where she worked at first. Maybe her friends at her working place know something about it. It doesn't say anything in here but this is just the brief report. The real thing is in the archives. Go ask commander Itachi for it." I said, talking fast so as to get my speech over with quickly.

"Can I have your pass then?" Sasuke asked. "I don't have authority remember?"

I looked up at him, and for once felt warmth towards him. He wasn't complaining, he wasn't growling or scowling. In fact, I think I may have even say a trace of a smile on his lips; but I wasn't going to go that far.

"Sure." I smiled, searching in my desk draw for my card. Soon I found it, pulled it out, and threw it to him. "There you go. But do be quick. I am quite intrigued by this case." I finished, going back to the reports and making notes in my journal.

Sasuke's PoV:

I caught the pass swiftly, before exiting the room and walking up to my brother's office. He was the boss. The boss of everyone. I don't know how he did it, to be honest. The stress would eat away at my brain and my conscience in no time.

I entered the lift ((Elevator for you Americans)) and pressed the button to go up to the top floor. Soon I was there, after walking down the long corridor, and I knocked on his door. There was no answer for a while, but I could hear him writing with his pen inside the room. Ignoring me, was he? Well, he didn't know it was me yet. Soon he would.

I knocked again, this time louder, and whined his name.

"Weasel~" I sung, loud enough for him to hear me. That'd grind his gears, all right! Only moments later, the door swung open and he glared down at me, but I still kept an innocent look on my face.

"What do you want?" He scowled.

"I need access to the archives, Niii-Saaan! (Big brother, I think)." I whined, staring up at his like a small kitten. Hmm, me looking innocent? Wow! Well, there's a first time for everything...

"You know you're not allowed down there, Sasuke." Came his reply, and I laughed.

"I'm here on official business." I said with authority, showing him the pass.

"Oh, Naruto sent you? Well come with me then. I have the key."

"Thanks, bro." I said, obediently entering the lift with him and heading down to ground floor.

"No problem. Sorry, I've been so mean lately, Sasuke. I'm just kinda stressed." He said, rubbing his forehead.

"Trust me, I know the feeling." I answered. "Wanna fag?" I asked offering the packet.

"No! Sasuke, I let you have that stuff because I know I can't stop you, not because I hope you'll offer me some!" He laughed.

Soon enough we had left the lift and gone to get the full reports on the recent disappearance. I brought them back up to Naruto soon after. And he read them. Quietly. Until he got to the end.

He gasped before saying something that sounded like. "I wasn't expecting this..."

"Expecting what?" I asked with mild interest.

"TenTen is a prostitute."
