Friends that kill

Summary: Sasuke is known for being charismatic and charming. Teachers and parents praise him and puts him on a high pedestal in which some can learn from him; he is like among his peers and friends. But behind this personality, Sasuke is a ruthless teen who enjoys the trill of murdering people. One day a transfer student enters his classroom and Sasuke automatically takes a liking to him- much to his excitement, he finds out he and the new guy has a lot of things in common- and killing is just one of them.

Can the Konoha Police put an end to this madness and find the killers or will this charade of cat and mouse continue until they decide to stop?

AN: I know. I know. Why haven't updated any of my stories. Well, a lot has been going on recently and I just lost the ability to even think yet alone write any stories. It's been a long six months and I'm still trying to get back on track.

I'm still working on my stories. I just write everyone occasionally, but I decided to write a new story. It is blood gore, unimaginable, and a thriller.

Enjoy the story and let me know your thoughts about it.

Chapter One: "Great minds think alike."

Lying on the bed, he was staring at the ceiling. Tomorrow would be a fresh start for him. That meant a new school, new uniform and probably some new friends. He stared at his reflection on the sharp blade and smiled.

"This is a nice place you have here." He said as he stared at the knife. "Do you really live here by yourself?" he asked.

The frightened girl nodded her head. "Yes…" she managed to speak. She was backed into the corner of her bedroom, wearing nothing but a pink panty and white bra. Her red hair stuck to her face and she was sweating profusely.

"Tomorrow will be a brand-new day, that means a fresh start." He told her.

"Can you please-

"How old are you, Madeline?" he questioned her as he still lied on the bed. He was now throwing the knife in the in the air and catching it by the sharp blade.

"T- twenty-one." She stuttered. Her heart skipped a beat each time the knife was thrown in the air.

"Can you guess how old I am?" he inquired. Before she could answer, he interrupted her. "And I wouldn't guess wrong if I were you." He was now staring at her, his cerulean eyes pierced into her soul.

She nearly urinated on herself. This boy who she had picked up off the streets was such a charmer that she let him into her house; hoping that he would've please her sexual desire. Madeline cursed herself. Her sister always warned her about picking up strangers from the street and taking them to her apartment. She assured her sister that this would be her last time before she was to leave for Paris. Now this would surely be her last time.

"Twenty." She blurted out.

There was a deafening silence. He let out a dark chuckle and continued to throw the knife into the air. She sighed in relief.

"Do I look that old to you?" he questioned.

It felt like her heart sunk to her stomach. "P… please. Don't." She pleaded. "I have a little sister waiting for me, my mom she's sick-

"Shhh…" He said as he jumped off the bed. She went silent. "Do you have a dryer and washer in here?" he asked as he stared at the room's design. "I wouldn't mind living in a place like this." He turned to face her. "So… about that washer?"

"It looks like the killer made her clean before killing her."

The police officer stared at the red hair woman. Her throat was slit, and her underwear was shoved down her throat.

"Any signs of sexual abuse?"

"No."

"This is the seventh murder this month. We have to find this sick bastard and get him off the streets!" the sergeant in charged shouted. "Any hair? Any finger prints?"

The forensic team shook their head. "It looks like we are dealing with a serial killer…. An experience one."

"Good morning, class!" A colored man spoke as he smiled at his students.

"Good morning, Iruka- sensei." They replied in unison.

"As you know we have a new student who will be joining us today and I would like for everyone to make him feel welcomed." The students nodded their head. Iruka walked towards the door and opened it. "Please come in, Uzumaki."

A tall teen stepped into the classroom and faced the students. His blond hair was unkempt, yet it suited his facial features. His eyes were kind and sweet; his eyes were blue like the ocean. His sun kissed skin glistened in the sun and his teeth were straight and white like the clouds.

"Uzumaki, why don't you introduce yourself to the class." Iruka suggested. "I'm sure everyone would like to get to know you."

"Good morning everyone! My name is Uzumaki Naruto and I've lived in Konoha my entire life." He said smiling. "I love ramen just to let everyone know," he chuckled, which made some fellow students giggle. "And gosh," he said scratching the back of his head, "there's nothing special about me, but I guess you can call me a people person. I love hanging out and interacting with other people."

"That's nice to hear, Uzumaki. And I'm pretty sure you'll get along just great in here." Iruka assured him. "Uchiha, can you raise your hand." He said.

"Yes, sensei." A raven hair boy said as he raised his hand.

"Ah, Uzumaki starting today, Uchiha Sasuke will be your partner."

"Uchiha?" Naruto thought. "Thank you, sensei." He said as he bowed.

He was walked down the aisle and past a couple of students who eyed him and up and down.

"Sasuke?" Naruto questioned.

The pale skin boy, with sharp onyx eyes glanced at the young boy.

"It's nice to meet you Uzumaki."

Naruto sat down next to him. "Likewise."

"What school did you transfer from?" a girl with pink hair, Sakura, asked.

"I went to Soho High." Naruto responded.

"Wow, that's pretty far from here?"

"It is, but I just moved in with my godparents, so I had to switch schools." He replied.

"I see." She said almost as she was thinking. Naruto stared at her and smiled. She tightened the strap on her backpack.

"Are you waiting on someone, Haruno?"

"Ahh, yes. I'm just waiting on my friends Sasuke and Shikamaru."

"Well, take care." He said as he got up to leave the classroom.

"Sakura?"

"Hmmm…."

"What are you staring at?"

"Oh, it's just… the new kid seems…. Interesting." She responded to her old friend Sasuke.

"How was school today Naru-chan?" A woman with blonde pigtails, asked.

"School was fun. I haven't met any friends yet but I'm sure I will." He said as he poured his self a glass of water.

"Well, I'm pretty certain you'll make a lot of friends." She said as she sipped on some sake.

"Baa-chan, when is the prevy man coming back home?"

She held the little glass between her fingers and stared into it. "Don't know. Knowing him, he'll pop up like he always does."

"I see." Naruto hummed. He washed the glass cup. "Shouldn't you be heading to work soon?" he reminded her.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get off my back." She mumbled.

Naruto turned to face her and took the little glass from her. "You'll be fine. Will you be coming home tomorrow?"

"No." she said pouting. "I have a sixteen-hour shift, then I'll only have three hours of sleep before I do another sixteen hours. Sorry."

"It's okay. I just don't want you to put any strain on your body." Naruto said with a concern look in his eyes.

Tsunade's face reddened. "I won't."

He smiled at her response. "Here." He said giving her a glass of water and aspirin.

She gladly took it and drank it along with the pill in one gulp. "Well I'm off." She said as she got off the bar stool. "Oh, and be careful. There are some crazy people out there." She mumbled the last part. "Do you believe a young woman was killed last night?"

"That's sad." He said. "You should stay safe out there. Would you like me to take you to work? I wouldn't want anything to happen to you"

She giggled at the gesture. "I can take care of myself, Naru-chan, but you stay safe and call me if you need anything." Tsunade said. She placed some money on top of the kitchen counter. "Order some take out tonight and stop eating that ramen. It's bad for your health." She told him before leaving for work.

After several minutes of staring at the door, he walked up stairs, slowly, and entered his bedroom. His room was large and was just your simple teen bedroom. Some of his clothes were laid out on the floor and his bed messy. He took off his school clothes, which was a forest green long slacks and white-collar shirt along with a green necktie that had KHS embroidered at the bottom left of it.

He sat at his computer desk and logged onto his Facebook. He scrolled down his timeline and saw some statuses that spoke about Madeline like; rest in peace angel, whoever did this will burn in hell, or gone too soon. He liked every status that had to deal with the death of Madeline, he even commented on some and said: R.I.P

Naruto slicked his blond hair back and smiled.

It was a busy night in Konoha, as always, and a lot of people were out roaming the nightlife.

"He's cute."

"Rhyku!"

"Woof, woof."

The blond teen was roaming the nightlife. He wore some black jogging pants and a white t-shirt. His hands were in his pocket and his eyes were searching. Searching for what, he didn't know, but he knew would find it. Ten minutes of searching, he finally found it… well more like him. A young man with black hair that was tied in a samurai bun. He smiled.

"Checkmate." he purred.

He waited for the young man, who was talking with a group of friends. He seemed to be enjoying his self, however, he kept glancing over his shoulders because he felt like someone was watching him. But there were so many people around the area, some walking, some chatting with their friends, and one guy who seemed to be on his phone.

"Yo, are you okay?"

The young man shrugged his shoulders. "You ever felt like someone was watching you?"'

"Yeah, I get that all the time."

"I guess." He said ignoring the feeling.

"But I'm going to start heading out, my girl is upset I keep hanging out with you guys." A guy with orange hair said.

"I think I'll be heading out too." The black hair boy spoke.

"Okay Shin."

Shin, the boy with the samurai bun, was walking down the street. He checked the time and it was 11:25pm.

"Shit. I wasn't expecting to stay out so late." He mumbled. "I got work tomorrow."

He put his hoodie up and continued to walk down the aisle. As he was walking that same feeling he felt when he was with his friends followed him. This time he felt someone was walking behind him and he kept looking back and saw there were a few, but none out of the ordinary.

"I need to stop being paranoid." He told himself. "Almost home."

A gust of wind came out of nowhere and nearly blew his hoodie off. He stared at the sky and saw a full moon was out.

"Oh gosh. The moon looks so big and spooky looking."

He shook his head. He needed to stay focus. It was nearly midnight and he was five minutes away from his apartment. Almost one block away, he bumped into someone.

"Oh, sorry." He said as he stared at the young man.

"It's okay. I was hoping I would see someone on these streets!"

Shin was confused.

"I have no idea where I am, and I have no phone to contact my mom. Do you mind if I use your phone to call her? She's probably worried sick about me."

Shin stared at the man. He felt like he saw him before, but couldn't put his tongue on it. The boy looked sincere and genuine.

"I'm sorry. Where are my manners!" he said bowing. "My name is Naruto. I'm kind of new to this part of Konoha." He said. "It's a little spooky looking out here." He said chuckling nervously. "I've never seen the moon so big."

Shin eyes widened. "Exactly! I was freaked out myself." He said laughing. "I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking it."

Naruto also laughed.

"Oh." Shin said as he felt his pockets. "You need to call your mom? My apartment is one block away. You can come inside while you wait for her." he suggested.

Naruto face lightened up. "Really?"

Shin nodded his head. "Besides you look so young to be out here alone."

Naruto chuckled. "Really? Someone told me before that I look like I was twenty."

"Nah, you look like a teen." Shin said as he walked next to him. "My place is just around the corner."

"Thank you so much."

As the two turned the corner, they almost bumped into four teens.

"Uzumaki, what are you doing out here?"

"Hey, it's the new kid."

For a moment, they were taken back when Naruto's face went blank and emotionless. Upon noticing their reaction, he quickly smiled.

"Ah, Haruno, Uchiha, Nara and Yamanaka." He said acknowledging them. "What are you doing out here so late?"

"Just hanging around." Yamanaka Ino, a girl with a long blonde ponytail, said.

"Are you hanging out with your friend?" Sakura asked, taking note of the young man.

"Ah, no." Shin said waving his arms back and forth. "He was lost and needed to call his mom, so I was going to take him and let him use my house phone." He said explaining the situation.

Sasuke raised his left eyebrow. "You were going to take an underage teen in your house?"

Shin face reddened. "Okay, so I know that sounds weird, but really-

"We can actually take you home, Uzumaki." Ino said.

"Really?" Naruto said smiling. "That'll be great." He faced Shin and bowed. "Thank you."

Shin bowed nervously. "Your welcome." He said before walking away.

"We parked five blocks away. I hope you don't mind." Sakura spoke.

"It's quite alright." He reassured them.

As the teens were walking to the car, Naruto decided to speak.

"Nara, are you always this quiet?" he asked.

"Shikamaru is so lazy, he doesn't even like to talk." Ino said chuckling.

Naruto grinned. "Is that so?"

"Troublesome." Shikamaru muttered. "Call me Shikamaru." He said as he shoved his hands into his jean pockets.

"Yeah, Naruto. Just call us by our first name." Sakura told him.

"Mhm."

"So why are you out so late?" Sasuke asked him as he glace at the boy.

"I should be saying the same about you guys." He chuckled. "I was just exploring this part of Konoha."

"Well you should be careful, Naruto. That man could have been a pedophile." Ino said.

"Thank God you guys were there." He responded.

Sakura didn't know if it was sincere or sarcasm. It almost sounded that he was agitated more than thankful.

"Where do you live?" Sasuke asked as the teen entered the black Honda car.

"543 Sunset Blvd."

"Those stupid idiots." He mumbled as the car was out of sight.

He pushed his hair back and stared at the empty street. "Everything happens for a reason Naruto." He said, entering the house. "Everything happens for a reason."

"Good morning, Naruto!" Ino said.

"Mornin' Ino." He replied. "How are you doing today?"

"I'm fine. And yourself?"

"I'm doing well. Can't complain."

"Good morning Ino." Sasuke said as he sat on the chair.

"Good morning Sasuke." She said with a flirtatious tone.

"Shall we begin class." Iruka said.

The class was quiet as they took notes. Sasuke glanced at Naruto from time to time. The blond was taking notes, or seemed like it. Sasuke stared at his notes and realized the boy seemed to be writing the same words over and over. It read Maloret, which meant the unfortunate one. Sasuke didn't understand the word and neither did he know he was staring at the boy's book for so long.

"Is there a reason you're looking at my notes?" Naruto whispered.

Sasuke glanced at him and saw the boy smirking. Sasuke wasn't amused. He almost scoffed. But in his mind, Naruto was interesting to him. He felt the two had an unusual bound that neither of them knew nothing about.

He wrote on the left side of his book:

What does it mean?

And slid it closer to Naruto. He saw the note; his smirk never leaving his face.

He wrote: A French word meaning the unfortunate one.

Sasuke stared at the meaning. Do you believe you're unfortunate?

Naruto wrote: I believe everyone is unfortunate in some way or another. And others just have it worse. =)

Sasuke: How?

Naruto stared at him, which made Sasuke glanced back. His face cold and expressionless. He then wrote: Great minds think alike.

Sasuke stared at the message and never responded to Naruto. The boy didn't seem to mind, instead he just turned back to his notes and began to write what was on the board.

All day Sasuke pondered about what Naruto wrote. What did he mean? Then he remembered the teen's face. No emotion whatsoever. Cold and emotionless… like his.

"Sasuke!" Sakura said as she jumped on the boy. "What are you thinking about?"

"I'll be walking with Naruto this afternoon, so do not wait for me." Sasuke said.

Sakura nodded her head.

It was the last class of the afternoon, World History. Sasuke had a piece of paper out. He scribbled something on it and slid it next to Naruto.

Naruto raised his eyebrow at the note. Twenty minutes went by and Sasuke waited for the blond to open the paper and respond to his statement. He didn't get annoyed, but he was amused. Did Naruto really think he would get annoyed or showed frustration if he hadn't opened his note? Well he was wrong. Why? Because great minds think alike.

Five minutes before class was to end, Naruto opened the note and scanned through it.

"Sure." Was all he said.

"Where is he going?" Ino asked Sakura.

"He said he was going to walk with him after school."

"Maybe he found his twin." Shikamaru suggested.
The two girls looked at one another briefly. What did Shikamaru mean?

The sun painted Konoha with its pinky and orange haze. The shadows dance behind its owner, and the streets became crowded with high school students from different schools. The two boys never spoke. They just walked in sync, left leg, right leg. Spectators walked past the teens and awe at their presence.

"How can I help you, Sasuke?"

It took a while for Sasuke to answer. "You said great minds think alike."

"Isn't your father the chief of police?"

"He is. Why do you ask?"

The two stood in front of a wooden door, face to face.

"How can I fancy you?" Naruto said in a chilling voice.

"We'll find out one way or the other." Sasuke replied. "Are you going to invite me in?"

Naruto opened the door to his new home and took off his shoes. Sasuke also took off his brown school shoes and entered the three-story house. He looked at the pictures on the wall and took note that there were no baby pictures of Naruto, despite him telling Sakura he lived with his godparents.

"Do you want some water?"

Sasuke shook his head. Naruto shrugged. He didn't know why, but somehow, he felt like he could have drop the charade in front of Sasuke and be his normal self.

"My room is upstairs." He said leading the way.

The two teens entered the room, which was clean. Sasuke sat on the bed, while Naruto sat by his computer desk. Sasuke got up and looked through some of Naruto's book. He saw articles of Ted Bundy, Yoshio Kodaira, Norio Nagayama and several other serial killers. Sasuke was intrigued.

"Ah, you found my book of serial killers." Naruto said stepping behind him.

"I read some stuff about him," Sasuke said pointing at Yoshio Kodaira.

"Kodaira." Naruto said. "Wish he didn't rape women." He said shrugging.

"I read about him, I don't believe in raping anyone." Sasuke said as he flipped through the pages.

"Ne, really?" Naruto said tilting his head to the side. "But it's okay to murder someone?" Sasuke was now staring up at the boy and saw his eyes twinkled. He didn't know if he should say something, but the quote Naruto said earlier made him think.

"Well, some people do it for revenge-

"And what about fun?"

"It's possible."

"Indeed, it is."

There was silence.

"Have you ever thought about what it's like to…

"Kill someone?" Sasuke completed his sentence.

Naruto was intrigued by his new "friend". Usually, the real Naruto was cold and emotionless, but this person made him giddy, the type of trill he got when killing someone.

Sasuke was the second oldest son of Uchiha Fugaku. He was handsome and charismatic. He charmed many people that approached him, and everyone took a liking to him. He was the top student in his class and everyone put him on a high pedestal. He was the perfect son or, so everyone assumed. Deep down inside, nobody knew the real him- the dark side.

Sasuke just stared at him and Naruto knew.

"Wow, never would have expected the son of the chief of police to have an interest for killing."

"I never said t-that." Sasuke stuttered. He, Sasuke, was shocked. Did this person just make him stutter on his words?

"You didn't have to." Naruto taunted.

"I guess it's time for me to leave." Sasuke said closing his book.

"Have you ever?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke stopped in his track.

Naruto smiled. "Have you ever imagined how they look the moment they knew they were going to die? How they beg and pleaded for mercy? How about the sound of blood splatting everywhere?"

Sasuke body trembled.

"It's a great feeling."

Sasuke turned around. "I did it twice." He confessed. "I try to leave no traces of evidence that can lead to me." There was a wicked smile on his face.

Naruto eyes widened. "Really now?"

Confessing to a crime sounds taboo. But Sasuke knew he was talking to someone who had experience and even if he was wrong about Naruto, who would believe him?

The two sat there and spoke about their adventures and where they almost messed up. They laughed and smile, something that was true and sincere. Sasuke was in awe that Naruto had killed so many people, especially Madeline. His father described the killer as a sick bastard who had experience.

"But how do you know I won't go and tell my father this?" Sasuke questioned.

"Then you wouldn't have anyone to talk to about this happy feeling." Naruto smiled. "And I'm not afraid to go to prison for killing a chief's son."

Sasuke chuckled. "How do I know if you're telling me the truth… that you killed all those people?"

"I don't need to prove myself to anyone."

"Touché."

"But do you want to tag along?"

"Sure."

The two teens walked down the crowded streets of Konoha. Sasuke had changed into some of Naruto's clothes, a black t-shirt and black jogging pants, while Naruto wore a dark wine color t-shirt and gray joggers.

The two were silent when they sat on the bench. Some people that were walking by saw the two men and cooed. They were attractive; they were like night and day. One had blond hair and shone like the sun and the other had black hair the resembled the midnight sky and skin like the moon.

"So, what exactly are we waiting for?"

"How do you pick your victims?"

"At random."

"So, do I, but they have to catch my attention. It's almost like a trait that stirs something inside you that makes you say, "that's the one."

Sasuke took note. It took ten minutes, before Naruto finally told him. "I found one."

This was a young woman who was very slender and beautiful. Her hair was brunette and reached to the middle of her back. Her skin was pale, and her eyes sparkled in the light.

"How do you know if she is alone?" Sasuke whispered.

"That's why we probe my friend." Naruto said as he got up off the bench.

After five minutes, the woman left her friends and walked down the busy sidewalk. Sasuke was about to follow, but Naruto stopped him.

"We give it time." He whispered in his ear.

Sasuke nodded his head. He wouldn't normally follow along someone plans, but if Naruto said would he really did, he wanted to see for himself.

After five more minutes and the crowd started to disperse, the two followed the woman who was only a few steps away from them.

Naruto told him to always look straight, not right nor left. If he was, he had to look by using his eyes. This way if there were any cameras they would only get a side view of them. Sasuke hair was pulled in a ponytail, whiles Naruto hair was pushed back with a headband. He felt his adrenaline was rushing. He couldn't explain it, but it was like the two times he killed, it was an unbelievable high by just thinking about it.

The sidewalk was empty, and the young woman was not aware of her surroundings. Naruto saw a wire hanging from her air and grinned. He looked at Sasuke and told him to stop. Naruto quickened his pace and, with gloves on, quickly snatched a wallet that was about to fall out her bag. The woman didn't feel anyone behind her, nor did she felt somebody yanking something from her bag. She was too busy bopping her head to tunes.

Sasuke saw what Naruto had done and waited for the boy to come back to him. "And this is where we gain her trust."

"Excuse me miss!" Naruto said running up behind the woman. Sasuke jogged to her.

The woman was startled when she felt a hand touched her shoulder. She turned around and saw two young men hovering over her. She blushed. She took out of her headphones. "Yes?"

Naruto held up a hello kitty wallet.

"You drop this back there." Sasuke said.

"We saw when it fell from your backpack." Naruto added on.

The young woman was extremely thankful. "You guys are a life saver! My keys are in here for my apartment." She said smacking herself on her forehead.

Naruto laughed. "Well it's a good thing we're good people, huh?"

Sasuke also laughed.

"How can I repay you guys?"

"It's okay. There's no need to repay us." Sasuke said.

Naruto looked at him and smile. "No need at all."

"But I owe you guys and I wouldn't feel comfortable not repaying my debt. Can I invite you two for some drinks in my apartment?"

"Well I am a little thirsty." Naruto said.

"Sure." Sasuke responded.

The young woman let the two teens into her apartment.

"This is a nice place you have here. Do you live by yourself?" Naruto asked him.

"Yeah. I'm looking for a roommate, but so far no one had responded to my advertisement." She said disappointed.

She threw her bag on the sofa and turned the lights on in the kitchen. "Do you want some lemonade?"

"Sure." Sasuke said walking to the counter.

Naruto also joined him.

"By the way my name is Yuki. Where are my manners!" she said with a goofy smile.

Sasuke was hesitant given his name, but then Naruto introduce his self.

"I'm Naruto and this is my friend Sasuke."

Sasuke stared at him first, but he figured Naruto knew what he was doing. The girl took out her phone and stared at her phone. Naruto leaned into Sasuke and told him not to drink anything. The two left the glass of lemonade on the countertop.

Naruto leaned closer to the girl, which made her jump. "What are you doing?" he said in an amusing tone.

"T… texting my friend."

Naruto took the phone from her gently and stared at it. Yuki was in the middle of texting her friend that two attractive men were in her apartment, but the girl was not able to send the text. Naruto gave the phone to Sasuke, who then read the draft. After reading it, he deleted it.

Yuki got an eerie feeling suddenly and stepped back. She stared at the two men and saw that their facial expression had changed from charming to emotionless.

"Ah-

"Shhh!" Naruto said, silencing her voice. "You're going to be a good girl, okay Yuki."

She nodded her head. "Awesome." He said smiling- a chilling smile.

"Can you wash those glass cups for us, and put them back where you got them from. Oh, and make sure you dry them real nice." Naruto asked/said.

She bobbed her head and did as she was told.

"I usually let them clean up so there's no trace of evidence left from me." He told Sasuke.

"My father told me that killer usually let his victims clean before killing them."

Yuki heart race and one of the glass cup fell on the tiled floor. "Please don't! Just go and I won't tell anyone. I promise." She said clasping her hands together.

"A promise is a comfort to a fool." Sasuke told her in a chilling voice.

"Yuki, do we look like fools to you?" Naruto questioned her.

She shook her head. "No, you don't. None of you do." She got on her knees. "Please. I only have one more class left before I graduate with my master's degree."

Yuki stared in shocked as the two were chatting idly about which way would be a quick way to kill someone. As the two were talking, Yuki got up slowly and made her to the butcher knife that was laying besides an apple, that was sliced in half, she had eaten earlier.

"You know you shouldn't let your victims clean all the time because they will profile you and pick up on your habits." Sasuke told him.

"I was thinking about that, maybe it is nice to get sloppy sometimes." He grinned.

As she was about to reach the knife, she felt someone grabbed her by her long hair. She screamed, but her mouth was covered with a cloth used to wash dishes. Naruto grabbed the knife and stared at it.

He turned the radio on and What's up people by Maximum the hormone was playing.

"Ready for some fun?" He purred.

Yuki screamed from the top of her lungs.

"And the answer you get will be -3." Kurenai-sensei said. The bell rung signaling class was over. "Please do not forget to do pages 4, 5, and 6. It will be due tomorrow, all even numbers."

"Hai, sensei!" the class said.

"I'll be right back. I'm going to get me some ramen for lunch." Naruto said getting up.

Sasuke nodded his head. He placed his books underneath his table and took out a bento lunch.

"How was it, Sasuke?" Sakura asked.

"How was what?" he questioned.

"You walked with Naruto home, right?"

"Oh yeah. He's nice." Sasuke said as he ate a rice ball.

Sakura pouted. "That's it."

Sasuke smiled. "We have a few things in common and I feel he can be a close friend of ours."

"Really?"

Sasuke nodded his head. "Why don't you be a doll and get me something to drink, please." He demanded. Sakura did as she was told.

Naruto was in the process of getting some ramen, but only to discover it was not on the lunch menu today. He settled for a ham sandwich and orange, but somehow persuaded the lunch lady to think about serving ramen at least 4 days a week.

While walking to the classroom, he spotted a short girl with long blackish/purplish hair walking in front of him. Her hair swept back and forth. He had reached his destination and the girl still was walking down the hallway, he never got to see face, but somehow, he was curious.

"That guy you were with last night. Were you going to kill him?"

"Sure was." Naruto responded as he flipped through some pages of his Math book.

"I guess you got upset when we ruined your plan." Sasuke implied.

"Just a little, but everything happens for a reason." He said nonchalantly.

"If we had let you go with him, would have done it then?"

"No." he replied. He was now facing the raven hair teen. "Had I kill him; you guys would have assumed I did it because I was the last person to be seen with him."

"You really thought this out, huh?"

"Eh, you can say that."

You said you went to Soho High, that's far east from here."

Naruto nodded his head.
"And I presume you killed over there."

"Yes."

"Wouldn't the police find it suspicious that the killings stopped in that specific area, only to relocate to the west side?" Sasuke questioned. "That means the police would have assumed the killer changed stations and will be looking at documents mentioning if anyone moved to the area."

There was a brief silence. Naruto got up abruptly and paced back and forth. He hadn't thought about that. It was a far stretched, but Sasuke was the son of a high-ranking officer, of course he would think about something like that. If he's thinking it, his father, no doubt was probably doing the same.

He stopped. He thought about it. This would be like a game of cat and mouse. He mentioned to Sasuke prior that he was not afraid to go to prison and he surely wasn't afraid to die.

"Yes, but this going to make the games even more exciting." He said with a chilling grin.

Inside a small room, there sat five men staring at a taller man who was standing next to a white board. He examined it.

"Hmmm… It appears that the victims were between Highdale and Kyoto street the night they were murdered." The man in charge, Fukagu, said.

One of his colleagues whistled. "That's like the two most famous spots where youngster meets up." This man name was Yoko, the youngsest on the team.

"So, the killer is probably lurking around these two areas." Ibiki a bald head man said.

"How do we know if all these murders are tied to the same guy?" Yoko stated.

"The victims were last seen between these two areas." Inoichi interjected. "It has to be the same guy."

"They were no signs of any forced entry." Shikaku responded. "They had to know this person on a personal level."

Fugaku rubbed his chin. "I believe Shikaku is on to something."

"And most of these women were college students." Inoichi said.

"What about Madeline? She already had her PHD and was about to travel to Paris." Shikaku said.

"Well we know they have one thing in common: they're all females between the ages of nineteen and twenty-two." Fugaku said.

"I think we're on to something." Ibiki said.

"We'll stake these wo areas between the hours of seven and twelve midnight."

"Are we going out tonight?" Sasuke asked as he flipped through some pages in a magazine.

The two teens were sitting at a local ramen shop. Naruto was eating a miso ramen, while Sasuke settled for some sushi. He was amazed about how many ramen Naruto could consume- it reminded him of one person in his class… Akimichi Choji.

"Horny for more?" teased Naruto.

"I am." Sasuke admitted.

"Let's go."

The two boys walked side by side until they reached Kyoto square. They did some window shopping, in search for their new toy.

"Why don't you pick one this time? Naruto proposed.

Sasuke scanned the area for some time until he spotted a young man with black spiky hair.
"The one with the mohawk."

Naruto took a quick glance at their prey. He was the same height as them and probably a little heavier by ten pounds.

"You like a challenge, huh?"

Sasuke chuckled. "You can say that."

The two walked towards the man who was talking to a girl, probably his girlfriend.

"Maybe we can make her watch." Sasuke said.

"Certainly."

As the two made their way towards the young man, someone stepped in front of them.

"Sasuke?"

The onyx eye teen stared at the man. "Good night, father." He bowed

"Good night, Uchiha-sama." Naruto also said bowing.

Fugaku took note of the young blond an and acknowledged him. "Is this a new friend?"

"Yes sir. This is Uzumaki Naruto, a new transfer student." Sasuke said introducing the young lad. "This was the friend I told you about."

"I see."

"It's a pleasure to meet you sir." Naruto said smiling.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Fugaku said. "Can I talk to you Sasuke… alone." He added.

"Yes sir. I'll be right back, Naruto." Sasuke said following his father to the side.

Naruto placed his hands behind his back and looked around the crowded area. He saw Sasuke talking to his father, some high school girls, and couples holding hand in hand. He took note of some men in suits observing the area.

"Hmmm…" He hummed.

"I do apologize. I guess the plans are off for tonight." Sasuke told him. "My father has-

"Men observing the areas the victims were last seen." Naruto interjected.

"Did you overhear us?"

"No. Things seems out of place, but will still go forward with tonight's plan." Naruto said with a stern voice.

"You're crazy." Sasuke said.

"No, I'm sane. Trust me on this." He said reassuring him.

Sasuke took a moment to let it sink in. "Fine."
