And my life was kinda sucking and I was being lazy. Ehe. So here is the next (craptastic) chapter yall all have been waiting for! Sakura's inner voice is in bold just saying.

Here is a simple disclaimer…. Fuck.

Chapter 3: Interrogation (dun dun dun duuun!)

Groaning, Sakura jumped roof to roof in slight hurry while rubbing one hand against her temples. At most times, the pinkette wouldn't even think about drinking right before a mission, but this situation called for it. And the sun's intense gaze wasn't helping with her morning hangover at all. In order to get rid of the pounding in her head, Sakura emitted some healing chakra into the hand that was rubbing against her head.

Due to her (unwise) choice to escape her dread through the toxics of alcohol, she was running a bit late for her first S-class mission.

Wait. Did this even count as an S-class mission? I mean I'm just going to have to live under the same roof as him. Breathe the same air as him, and be stuck with him 24/7.

Of course it's a S-class mission dumbass. He is a S-CLASS criminal ya know. Managed to defeat the Kazekage, escaped Team Gai without arms, crazy terrorist blond and bonus. He was a Akatsuki member.

Haha thanks a lot inner. Sakura commented back in sarcasm. Your big forehead isn't just for show after all.

Hey! I am you, meaning you have a billboard brow too Sa-ku-ra. Must I do all the thinking? Admit it you'd be nothing without me.

Over my dead body.

Over our dead body you mean.

Shut up we're here.

Hesitating for a second, Sakura gathered her courage and pushed open the ominous, double doors into the interrogation building. She was rather surprised to be greeted by the Chief Interrogator Ibiki himself.

Reaching out a gloved hand, the said man gave a warm smile. "Sakura san, I've been expecting you."

"H-hai! Good morning sir." Sakura stuttered a bit, startled by the warm smile Ibiki was showing. Which was creepy, since her first meeting with him was during the chunin exams. And the picture of the man with bone chilling grin, scarred face, and holes in his head was burned into her memory. She didn't think it was possible for this man to show such a warm smile, but then he is a professional.

Snapping out of her thoughts, the medical nin looked up to see that Ibiki walking away, one hand motioning her to follow him. It was rather quiet as the duo walked down a white hall, passing by a couple of doors.

"We're currently interrogating Deidara of Akatsuki, any information he posses could possibly help Konoha in any way. Though the result so far has proved to be futile, the kid won't open his mouth." Ibiki informed the pinkette, without turning around. "After his interrogation, he will be released and place under your care along with four ANBUs will be watching from afar. I am sure Hokage sama has informed you of this."

"Hai, Ibiki san. But, even with the ANBUs, not that I doubt their skill. But…what if their too late and something happens and he attacks the commoners?"

"That's where you come in Sakura chan. This is mostly your mission to prevent this, Deidara, from causing any trouble before the ANBUs come into the picture. Also, before he is released, we are going to place chakra constraints on him. It will mostly prevent him from using his earth style chakra, he won't be making bombs any time soon."

"Oh. Thank you for informing me Ibiki sa—"

Both nins snapped their heads up when a muffled shout came from a one of the many doors in the hall.

I swear I heard something like a "shut up" and "bitch" along those lines.

I think I'm going to have to agree with you on that, what's going on?

Following Ibiki with a quicker pace, the scarred man slammed open one of the doors. Light flooded the dimly lit room, revealing a rather disturbing scene within the room.

"I-Ibiki senpai!?"

"H-huh? Ibiki sama?"

There were two interrogators within the room both dressed in a similar uniform as their chief. One of them was seated on a steel chair and the other standing with a pale look as he made eye contact with his chief. It was clear on what had happened, an unmoving blond body was on the ground with half of his body leaning against the wall. Crimson, red liquid was decorating the walls around him. The currently pale looking ninja had clearly lost his cool, letting emotions take over him and attacked the prisoner with the intentions to kill.

All previous friendliness emitting from the scarred man disappeared in an instant, replaced by a bone chilling aura of superiority.

"Speak."

Freaky, how even one word from the man could sound so ominous.

"H-he," the pale man pointed at the corpse," he was mocking the Konoha, our village sir! Looking down on Hokage sama w-with a inexcusable attitude! I-!" Finally noticing his chief's disapproving gaze, the man straightened up and bowed low.

"I apologize, Ibiki san. I was irresponsible and let my emotions take the best of me. I will take whatever punishment necessary sir."

"Your punishment will be decided later, for now you are excused."

Bowing one last time, the man walked out of the room. Leaving Ibiki to give out orders to other seated man, who had been watching the whole scene in silence.

Sakura stood in the doorway watching as the two men talked, glancing sideways she noticed Deidara still 'dead'. She knew of the reanimation jutsu, she had even fought them during the war. There was a bloody deep gash across his neck along with several other bruises and cuts. Her medical instincts threatened to kick in, screaming 'injured man alert help him!' Despite knowing that he was a dangerous criminal, it was slightly disturbing for Sakura to see an injured man right before her eyes. But that unpleasant feeling was quickly replaced with wonder as the blonde's injuries were already closing up as small square pieces were slowly floating up around him. Patching up the scar, it seemed like small pieces from room were being peeled off to become part of the blonde's missing flesh.

Curiosity getting the best of Sakura's 'medical' mode, she slowly walked towards the blonde's body watching and observing how the wounds were healing faster by the second.

Hey. Careful there Sakura, you may not know when he'll wake up.

Ignoring her inner's warning, she continued towards the blond analyzing the process of the reanimation in pure curiosity.

I swear your desire for knowledge is both a blessing and a curse. But you know, seeing him closer up like this…. He is kinda cute.

The last comment snapped the pinkette back to her surroundings, and looking up, she noticed that she was closer to the blond criminal…MUCH closer than before. As in Sakura could see detailed strands of sun-kissed eyelashes on his face, and the handsome structu-!

Woaahh! Wohohohoho!~ Back up there, I do NOT think he is cute or handsome nor anything! His a criminal for kami sake!

Criminals are hot.

Shut up! You're not helping you know!

Aw come on babe! Look at that sexy hunk of man meat!

M-meat!? Honestly Inner I-!

Before Sakura could reply to her inner, she felt a sudden pressure against her petite neck. And being the awesome ninja she is, Sakura quickly made a move to block it through years of training and natural combat reflexes. Then the next thing she knew, Ibiki was right next to her, one of his arms in front of her in a protective manner and the other was pushing the revived blond in a vice grip against his throat.

Observing the slightly startled expression on the criminal's face, he too had acted on impulse to attack whatever was nearby after just waking up from a sudden attack.

"Nice to see the boss himself came to greet me yea." Quickly recovering from the current situation, Deidara coughed out then averted his visible eye to the figure behind Ibiki. "With a cutie too! She one of you interrogators too? Un."

"If I were you, I would keep silent at the moment boy." Ibiki spoke in a calm yet threatening manner.

Reverting his single eye back to Ibiki, Deidara grinned. "Aren't you supposed to make me talk? Is this a new kind of torture, keeping you prey silent, yea?"

What a cheeky bastard, I don't like him already yet I have to live with this arsonist?

He does seem like badass type, his a criminal after all. But hey! Look in the good side, you get to live with a hunk of hotness.

Are hot boys all you can think of? Even in this situation?!

Currently, Sakura was now a safe distant away from the arsonist, watching carefully as the two interrogators and the blond was conversing with each other. Well, Deidara was complaining, and started to struggle as several hand signs from Ibiki's subordinate were made.

I can't help it! Imma boyfriend deprived teenage gal! You won't even glance at other boys, all you ever do is study, train, and study some more! I need a man in my life! Inner gave a dramatic cry within Sakura.

I can't believe your part of me. Sakura sighed.

"What's part of you?"

Jolting in surprise, the pinkette looked up to see the younger interrogator in front of her. A confused yet emotionless facade placed on his scar less face.

Crap. Did I say that out loud? "N-nothing! Ha ha ha. Nothing at all! I was just thinking." Sakura spoke quickly, desperately wishing to drain down the blood rising on her cheeks.

"Follow me." Ignoring the chunin's embarrassing moment, the man walked out of the room. Sakura quickly noticed Ibiki and Deidara were not in the room anymore and swiftly followed the man out of the room. Feeling embarrassed on her previous amateur like behavior, Sakura shook her head in attempt to shake off the remaining signs of a blush on her face.

"Ibiki sama and Deidara are waiting for you miss Haruno. I wish you the best of luck." The jounin informed her (his voice strained almost unnoticeably at the blonde's name) and stopped before the entrance door

"Thank you, I'll be needing all the luck possible."

Well. Here I go.

Breathing in deeply, Sakura pushed open the double doors to the outside world.
