The phone calls, the loud talk between the fellow detectives were the first things you would hear when you enter a police station. That was no exception in the case of The Criminal Investigation Bureau. To go to that place became a routine for Hikari, is like that was her job. Making her way through the crowd of people, Hikari spotted Sasuke and Sakura standing in front of a door. When she got at them, she saw that the door they were standing in front of was the one that she walked in yesterday, "Team 7". She looks at the two young detectives unsure of the situation but asks them anyway:
„Where is Kakashi? And what are you two doing here?"
The two of them looked at her, just now being aware of her presence. Sasuke thinking about deep subjects about life, and Sakura trying to get his attention.
The pink haired girl send her an annoyed look and crossing her arms she says with authority in her voice:
„What we are doing here? What are you doing here?"
„I'm solving a case, isn't obvious enough? Or is not obvious enough for you to understand?" Hikari responded with a vestige of sarcasm.
Hikari looks once again at the raven haired man then back again at the door.
The female detective opens the door revealing a blonde man standing at the black table in the middle of the room. When she enters she spots Kakashi standing in front of the young man with his arms crossed.
„What is happening?" she asks.
„Nothing, I tried to make him understand that there is nothing good in calling the SAT in an operation with just one suspect. You were trained for this kind of situation, don't make me repeat myself again Naruto."
„Well, that is an unfortunate event, but I need to go to the victim's apartment" Hikari says with an uninterested look on her face.
„I can't help you right now. You can go and talk to him yourself."
The girl gives out an annoyed sigh but walks away disappointed by the man's response.
Hikari returns in the operating hall just to enter into another room that said Chief - Jiraiya. The PI didn't knock and entered without permission. In the office it was the so called Chief of the police station, Jiraiya, but he wasn't alone. How it is expected from an old perverted gezz, a girl around Hikari's age was making out with the 59 years old male.
„OMG, how could you? Cheat mom like that?!" Hikari says with a fake sad expression.
„You're the worst" the female says covering her face and pretending to cry.
„Wha...? You are married? And you have a child too. You bastard!"
The girl slaps Jiraiya in the face and leaves with her clothes in her arms. Hikari finally stops from acting just to close the door behind the girl that just left. Jiraiya put himself more confortable on the chair after he almost fall because of the girl's attack.
„Ugh, everytime you came up with a more original and painful excuse. What is it this time?"
Hikari now starts to laugh pointing her finger at the man's face.
„You should've seen your face back then. It was truly hilarious. Especially now you have something to remind you of this..."she says then returns to laugh.
The man looked at her not knowing what she was talking about. Then Jiraiya opened the drawer from his bureau and took a framed mirror.
„Aaaahhh...that...he screams when he realised the hand shaped mark from his right cheek."
„Oh man" Hikari finally calmed down from her laugh does she desperately needed.
„I need a mandate to go and investigate the apartment of the yesterday's victim" Hikari sits on the front seat office now with a totally serious face.
Jiraiya took a sheet of paper from the second drawer and wrote something on it.
„Is that all?" he asks without taking his eyes off the piece of paper.
„Yeah"
Jiraiya write the last thing on the paper then hand it to the detective. The girl takes the piece of paper and takes a look on it.
„Thanks" she says getting up from her seat and looking at the man.
„Be careful" the man said when Hikari reached the door and was about to leave the room.
„Kakashi told me that you are too hyped up for this case. I know that is hard for you, but try not to get emotionally involved."
Hikari nodes and leaves the room.
„Ah, sorry" a male voice says when accidentally bumped into Hikari. The girl raised her eyes to meet a pair of black eyes that hides more that just a sweet talking detective.
„Hikari. What brings you here?" the man asks after he takes a relative distance from the girl.
„I was called to solve a new case, murder."
„Oh, Kakashi called you?"
„Yeah..."
A moment of awkward silence enveloped between the two detectives until Kakashi came at the place the two of them were standing.
„Obito. You returned?"
„Yeah, I was just going to Jiraiya-sama to give the report about the events."
The white haired detective nodes and turns to Hikari, that was now looking somewhere in the big hall.
„Hikari" Kakashi wakes her from daydreaming leaving her with a questionable look.
„What is it?"
„Did you talked with Chief?"
„Yes" she looked down at the piece of paper she was holding.
„I'm going there right now."
„Do you want me to come with you?" Kakashi asks getting closer to her.
„No I'm fine."
„What about me? I wanna see this case. I haven't had a murder case in months."
The two detectives moved their glances to Obito, being unsure about this. Obito was a good detective, more like an efficient one. He would've done his job without getting too involved or too abusive with the authority he was given to. But about six years ago he was kidnaped by an unknown person even today. After he returned he suffered some traumatic effects and refused to talk to everyone who tried to help him. Nobody know what happened in that day, though nobody has the guts to ask. Since that day people looked with fear at him, but didn't doubt of his capability as a detective.
Kakashi knew that his childhood friend has something on his mind that he couldn't say to everybody, so he choose to keep silent about this. Knowing that this may be his fault too, he was even more determined to try and treat Obito like before. But it wasn't that easy, since Obito himself changed radically. It was like a completely new person, new behavior, new beliefs, new ways to do things. Sometimes Obito didn't recognised himself, he didn't knew if this is what he is doing or what that person is doing.
„Sure, whatever" Hikari responded returning to her usual cold attitude.
Kakashi looks at Hikari from the corner of his eyes unsure of what the girl is thinking. Usually, she does things with a purpose, she won't take someone with her to investigate something if is not with a more deep meaning to it.
„Well, I'm just going to hand this over to Jiraiya-sama then we can go."
Hikari nods when she noticed Kakashi's glance over her. Obito entered the Chief's office and let the two detectives talk.
„Why did you let him come with you?" Kakashi asks curious.
„He seemed like he wanted to come so I left him" the girl responded looking stright in front of her not even bothering to look at the white haired man.
„So...are we going?" Obito came out of the room and stood right next to Hikari willing to go to the crime scene.
„Yeah, let's go" she says finally looking at Kakashi who got even more anxious about this than before.
Seeing the fire from Hikari's eyes, the fire of desire for answers and complicated puzzles to solve. In that moment Kakashi knew that nothing can stop her now, not until she gets the answers she is looking for.
