Pairings: NarutoXHinata and SasukeXSakura

Chapter Two

Naruto sat patiently on the bench while he chattered with Sasuke, waiting for the perfect moment to go ahead with their plans.

"Do you have any siblings?" he asked the raven hair teen.

"Mhm." Sasuke responded. "I have an older brother. What about you?"

Naruto checked his watch. "I'm an only child."

"I see."

"There are currently three men here, including your dad, watching the area." Naruto pointed out.

"Apparently there are three here and two in Highdale square." Sasuke told him, amazed that the blonde teen was able to figure it out. "My father believes that the killer either knows his victims who are college students, between the ages of 19-23."

"Interesting." Naruto purred. "Let's make him see how wrong he really is."

Fugaku was observing the area. He studied each face that walked by him. He was like a predator in search of his prey.

"I must warn you." Sasuke said as he played with his phone. "My father is quite competitive and has solve every case that was thrown at him."

If Sasuke had looked at Naruto, he would have the seen the sinister look the boy had on his face.

"Hey! Let go of me you creep." A young girl said as she yanked away from an older gentleman.

"I think we found him." Fugaku said in his mic.

The group of detectives went to the scene that had gathered a large crowd surrounding the incident.

"Would you look at that." Naruto whistled. "There's actually a God up there after all." He grinned. "Let's go."

Both he and Sasuke followed the young people, tagging behind them.

"So, let's see how you're going to do this." Naruto spoke.

It was night, and the streets were abandoned, except for some cars that drove past them.

"Let's go this way." Sasuke said as they turned through a dark alley.

On the way, Sasuke picked up a rusty crow bar that was leaning against a dumpster. The two hopped a fence and did a few turns before they were standing in another abandon alley.

"They should be here soon." Sasuke told him; putting on his gloves. "We'll grab them."

Naruto peeked his head out of the alley and seen them walking. "They should be here within ten seconds."

Sasuke nodded his head. He and Naruto walked out the alley way coolly, the crow bar leaned against the wall.

The young boy and girl stopped in their tracks as they gawked at these two gentlemen who exit the alley. The boy squinted his eyes, while the girl was mesmerized by their beauty.

"Move out the way you faggots!" he barked.

This response made the girl glared at her boyfriend, Chu. "That's very rude!" she said scolding him.

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk." Sasuke said shaking his head.

"Apologize Chu!"

The boy scoffed. "Two dudes so happened to exit a dark alley? They were probably fucking one another."

She smacked him. "I do apologize." She said bowing. "He's just a little grumpy today."

Naruto pushed his hair back, revealing his tan forehead. His eyes were playful and bright. "It's okay. We didn't mean to startle you." He replied, stepping out of the way. Sasuke did the same and smirked at Chu who yanked the girl by her hand and dragged her away. Naruto stared into Sasuke's eyes, almost as if they were communicating without words. They both nodded their heads. Once the couple backs were turned, they reached out their hands, Sasuke covering the boy's mouth and Naruto covering the girl's.

They let out a muffled screeched as they were forcibly dragged into the alley. The only light that was there, was connected to the wall and it flickered constantly.

Sasuke threw his victim to the wall, causing the boy to slam his head against the wall. The girl tried to scream, but Naruto had his hand wrapped around her mouth.

"Don't die now." Sasuke told him, a sinister smile formed on his face. The boy head bobbed as he tried to regain focus.

Momo, the girl, clawed into Naruto's arm as she tried to escape his grasp. Sasuke grabbed Chu by his black spiky hair and slap the boy, gently, to wake him up.

"I didn't even push you that hard" Sasuke muttered. He dropped the boy back to the floor and grabbed the crowbar.

"Wow Sasuke. Knocking people out with one push." Naruto grinned. He felt his adrenaline rushing and he couldn't wait for his turn.

"It was not my intention." He grumbled.

Sasuke kicked Chu in his stomach to get a response. The boy held his stomach as he rolled on the dirty floor in pain. Sasuke did it again.

"Pl…please." He gasped. "If you want money take it." He said stretching out his arms.

Momo closed her eyes and let the tears slide down her cheeks.

"I'll take that too." Sasuke said before whacking him across his face with the crowbar.

Momo stared in horror as she stared at Chu's face. His left side had completely caved in, and blood splattered everywhere. The boy still looked like he had some life left him because he was moving his hand. Sasuke aimed down on his head with the crowbar, and he smiled when the blood splattered over his face.

Naruto threw Momo to the ground and she landed by Chu who was lying lifelessly on the floor. Sasuke brushed off his hands. "You figured he would have put up a fight." He sighed. "That was disappointing."

Naruto walked behind him. "It happens." He said almost sounding remorseful that they did not get a chance to play with the boy. "At least we have her left." He said pointing at the girl who was cowering in fear. Sasuke scrunched up his face. "I think this is going to be even quicker than him."

Momo wanted the world to stop. She was crying, but not a single sound came out. She shielded her face as she was kicked in her head by Sasuke.

"That's why your victims go down so quickly." Naruto frowned.

Sasuke turned to him. "I barely touched her."

The two were chatting amongst one another, Naruto meanly scolding Sasuke for not taking his time. Momo head was bleeding. She managed to crawl away, hopefully someone would see her. Her arms were able to reach the pavement and her eyes nearly brightened, until it twisted in pain. She screamed as something pierced her leg. She looked over her shoulder and saw Naruto pulling the knife from her calf.

"I think we found ourselves a fighter." He grinned.

Momo screamed as she was pulled into the alley.

Friends that kill

He licked the tip of her ear, causing the girl to moan out.

"Sasuke." She moaned out. "We can't do this here."

"Why not?" he questioned. He placed his hand on her leg and began to rub it, slowly moving up and down.

The girl climbed on top of him and kissed him gently. He stared into her jade eyes and smirked.

"Sakura." He said wrapping his arms around her petite waist.

A blushed crept on her face and she felt her body turning red. The two were on top of the school building waiting for Shikamaru and Ino to come join them. She cuffed his packages and gently massaged it through his pants. She quickly moved from him when she heard the metal door being pushed opened.

"I hope you guys don't mind, but I brought Naruto with us!" Ino said latching onto the boy's arm. He was annoyed on the inside, but his face showed something different- happiness. Shikamaru pushed past them as he lazily made his way to lay down in his favorite spot.

"Hello, Naruto." Sakura said waving at the youngster.

"Hello." He responded. He gazed at Sasuke before grinning.

"Hiya doing Sasuke!"

Sasuke's left eye twitched. "You're so loud, dobe."

Naruto narrowed his eyes. "Teme."

The two glared at one another. A week had past since the murders, and the two became best friends. There was no mention of the murders, so Naruto figured no one had reported the kids missing or the police were just trying to cover it up, so there wouldn't be any wave of panic. Sasuke hadn't utter a word, so he suspected his father hadn't mention anything.

Ino jumped into Naruto's arm when the door opened suddenly. There standing by the door was a girl with long dark purplish hair, standing there. Her bangs covered her eyes and she stared at the ground.

"Gomen." She whispered.

Ino narrowed her eyes as she climbed off Naruto.

"Hinata!" Ino screamed. "Don't do that." She rubbed the temple of her forehead.

Naruto observed the girl, who was small and short. He noted her purplish hair, but couldn't make out her face since she was staring at the floor. The girl flinched when she heard her friend screamed at her.

Ino noticing, quickly apologize. "I'm sorry, Hinata."

"I thought you would be used to her by now." Sakura said crossing her arms.

"We thought you had a meeting with the teachers?" Sakura questioned.

"I already went." She said.

"Oh, Hinata!" Ino said placing her arms around her. She led the girl to Naruto. "This is Naruto, he's a new student."

Hinata shifted uncomfortably. She looked up and was stunned by the boy- Naruto's beauty. His eyes, the things that captivated her the most, was so sweet and kind. Naruto was able to look at her face and he was moved. She was so pure and innocent with her large lavender eyes, and small lips that were tinted with pink.

"I have to go!" she said running away.

The door to the upstairs slammed shut and Hinata was gone. Sakura sighed.

"We're sorry about that." Ino said. "She's not use to people…" she trailed off. "Just give her some time."

"I'm surprise she was able to hang out with us." Sakura said.

Naruto gazed at her and he observed how sad her eyes were.

"What do you mean?" He was now interested in what she had to say.

Sasuke was also interested. Sure, he had talked to the girl on separate occasions, but she was more the lines of Ino and Sakura friend. Shikamaru was interested as well, he shifted on his side to see what the girl had to say.

Ino sighed. "This is between us, but she gets abuse."

"By who?" Shikamaru said getting up. He had never spoken to her, but from what he had seen, she was shy and kind.

It was Sakura turn to sigh. "Practically everyone!" she said shooting her hands in the air in frustration. "Her dad, cousin, some students even Kiba, her boyfriend."

Shikamaru eyes narrowed. "Why doesn't she tell anyone?"

Sasuke crossed his arms and rubbed his chin.

"We tried to tell her, but she wouldn't listen. She just brushes it off." Ino responded.

"Why haven't you guys said anything?"

"Hinata would hate us!" Sakura whined. "And besides, we wouldn't know the outcome." She mumbled.

"Hinata needs to make the decision to do so herself." Ino said trying to feed her guilty conscience. "It's Hinata's problem."

Friends that kill

"Naruto, how are you liking the school so far?" Iruka, his homeroom teacher asked. The man had called the boy over to make sure everything was going okay.

Naruto stood in front of him and he gave him a reassuring smile. "I really like it here."

Iruka also smiled. "That's great to hear. I see that you and Sasuke are hanging out. Are you friends?"

Naruto nodded his head.

Iruka chuckled. "That's almost shocking."

The sun was setting, which painted the walls of the teacher's office with an orange reddish color.

"Your grades are good." Iruka said. "You can leave for today. I just wanted to make sure everything was going fine with you."

Naruto bowed as he left the office. He grabbed his backpack that sat on the chair and made his way down the halls. He looked outside and saw some kids playing on the field and some other kids who were just walking by. He turned his head and stared straight.

His ears wiggled as he heard a faint whimper. He nearly smirked as he thought about his victims. The same whimper they made when he pressed the knife towards their throat, but it quickly faded. Why? He enjoyed the sounds of whimpering and panic, but why had this whimper sound so heartbreaking. His mind quickly went to her- Hinata.

He heard the whimper again and decided he would check it out. His ears had always been sensitive to sound, even when growing up he could have tell when someone was behind him. He looked through the crack door and saw Hinata back against the wall. Her arms were pinned above her head as the unknown assailant made his way between her legs. She whimpered as the person sucked harshly on her neck.

"Please stop." She squeaked out.

"Just a little bit more." The guy said running his hand between her legs.

"Kiba stop." She whimpered.

"What's your problem?" his eyes narrowed.

"I don't want to do this anymore." She whispered.

He narrowed his eyes. "Do what anymore?" he said squeezing her wrist.

"You're hurting me." She said wincing in pain.

Kiba threw her on the table, bending her over, and placing her arms behind her back. He gasped as she felt him rubbing her bottom. She closed her eyes as tears threatened to fall. "Please stop."

"Yo!"

Kiba and Hinata looked up.

"Naruto." She croaked.

"Naruto?" Kiba mumbled. "We're kind of busy!" he barked.

Naruto stepped into the class. "She told you to stop."

"Why don't you mind your own business." Kiba growled. He let go of Hinata and stared at the boy.

Hinata rubbed her wrist, that had swelled turning blue.

"Hinata. Come here." Naruto demanded.

Kiba chuckled. "Hinata doesn't listen to anyone except me." He said pointing to his self.

She was afraid. She knew how Kiba could get when he was angry and didn't want any harm on Naruto.

"Hinata." Naruto said in a more serious voice. "Come. Here. Now."

She looked at Kiba almost as if she was trying to get his approval.

"If you go to that punk, you will regret." He said shooting daggers at her.

Hinata yelped by the harshness in his voice. She didn't know what to do.

"Hinata. This will be my last time talking to you." Naruto warned her. "Come here."

With those last words, Hinata found herself cowering behind Naruto. He glared at the brown shaggy hair boy. "Let this be your last time touching her." Naruto advised.

Hinata gazed at the back of the boy's head and heart skipped a beat. This was the first time someone had ever stood up for her.

"Who do you think you are?" Kiba questioned as he approached the boy. Hinata tightened her grip on Naruto's school shirt. "So, Hinata." Kiba started. "Are you cheating on me with him?" He sucked his teeth. "I always knew you were loose."

She hadn't answer him. She just wanted this nightmare to end.

"Move." Kiba demanded. He was now face to face, eyeing Naruto down like hawk, but that did not phase the boy. Naruto gripped him by his collar, causing Hinata to let go of him. She stared in amazement. Naruto shoved Kiba to the wall harshly causing the boy to fall to the floor. He walked in between the boy's leg and stared into his eyes. Kiba shivered by the icy gaze.

"Like I said." He said fixing Kiba's collar. "Let this be your last time touching her, seeing her and speaking to her." Kiba trembled. "She isn't yours anymore." Hinata ears perked up when she heard that. Was she finally free from Kiba? Naruto leaned closer to Kiba whispering in his ear, "She belongs to me."

Naruto got up and wrapped his arm around Hinata. He led her out the class. "Are you hurt?" he asked examining her face. Her face was clean, but he noticed the harsh bruises on her neck.

She nodded her head. "I'm… fine." She said unable to look up at her savior.

"He's not going to hurt you anymore, okay?" Naruto reassured her.

Hinata wanted to believe him, but Kiba was very territorial and would take what belonged to him. "Y… yes." She stuttered.

"Are you heading home?" he asked.

It wasn't an act. No, it was not. He was concerned about the girl. Ironic wasn't it? He that had killed so many in the past without any remorse was concerned about a mere girl, who he barely knew, getting abuse. Hinata looked up once more and saw the same sweet and gentle eyes that displayed in front of her. Her lips parted as she tried to speak, but she couldn't.

She finally mustered the courage to tell him she didn't wan to go home.

"Why?" he asked. He remembered what Ino and Sakura had said, but he wanted to hear from her, the horses mouth. Was she getting abused at home too?

"I'm alone." She said playing with her fingers. "Kiba knows where I live…" she trailed off.

"What about your parents?"

She trembled. Why was she telling a stranger her story? "They kicked me out, so I live on my own."

Naruto understood. "You can't stay here. Would you like to come to my place until you get situated?"

Hinata nodded her head as she stared at the ground.

"Come on." He said leading her out the school.

"Storeowners were complaining about a stench for the past few days." Ibiki said covering his mouth a handkerchief.

Fugaku stared at the bodies and his nose wiggled. There was a foul scent lingering in the air.

"Who are these people?"

"Leonard Momo, 19 years old and Hanja Chu, 21 years old." Shikaku said flipping through the wallets.

"Was this a robbery gone bad?" Fugaku questioned.

Inoichi frowned. "There seems to be some money missing from the wallet, but their debit card is still there."

Fugaku also frowned. Was this the same killer… or killers?

"You may want to look at this." Yoko said leading them to Momo's body.

"What?" Ibiki said.

"Her hands are missing."

Shikaku eyes widened. "Why would-

"Because she probably scratched him when he was holding her down." Fugaku interrupted.

"But there are two people-

"I think we just answer one of our questions." Inoichi said cutting Yoko off.

"There are two killers working together." Fukagu said

Friends that kill

"You can sit here." He said pointing to the bed.

Hinata nodded her head as she looked around the almost clean room. "I don't mean to burden you." She whispered, staring at her lap.

"You're not, Hinata." He said handing her some water and a pill.

Hinata stared at it, reluctant to take it.

"It's ibuprofen." He reassured her.

Hinata nodded her head as she took it. She swallowed it down and place the glass of water on top of the counter. Her long bangs covered her eyes and she was grateful for it. It made to where she couldn't see how people really looked at her, even when they were doing her wrong. Hinata gasped as she was pinned to the bed.

"Naruto!" her eyes watered. She was a fool to believe that someone wanted to protect her.

Naruto put all his weight on the squirming girl and pushed back her bangs with his free hand. She was so beautiful.

"Hinata, I need you to listen to me." He said smoothly.

Hinata nodded her head afraid of what he was going to do to her. Her eyes widened at the sight of the scissors and Naruto saw the fear in his eyes. Being the sadistic killer, he was, he didn't like the fear she showed. Not her.

"I'm not going to hurt you." He said helping her up.

She wiped her eyes. "Do not move." He said. Hinata nodded her head once more. Naruto stood in front of her, cutting away her long bangs. She wanted to push him off, cry, scream, this was the only thing blocking her from the hateful world, and now it was gone.

He combed the down the shorter bangs and stared at his master piece.

"Why…" she was trembling. She hadn't look up once. "Why did you…"

Naruto grabbed her by the chin and forced her to look into his eyes. "Look at me when you are talking to me."

Hinata yelped. She wanted to run away. She was tired of people telling her what she needed to do! She bit her lips.

Naruto noticing the anger stirring in her eyes smirked. "Do I make myself clear?" he said sinking his nails into the girl's skin, causing her to wince in pain.

Hinata snapped her eyes opened and lounged at the boy. She repeatedly hit him in his chest, even punching him in his face at one point. "I'm tired of people telling me what I need to do!" she screamed as she hit him like some wild animal. The salty tears fell onto his school shirt and the girl became tired, but she never stopped hitting him. He just lied there, with the petite girl on him and he allowed her to hit him.

She broke down as she rested her head on top of her chest. He wrapped his arms around her and comfort her. He didn't utter a word, and the two lied there. This was completely out of character for him. He always thought he would die without knowing what love was. He didn't care for others, except his godparents, but another human being? No. He hadn't think twice about girls. I mean of course he had sex countless of times, but he was never emotionally attach; so, he just gave up on sex. He tried so many things, even bdsm on a girl who was hardcore for abuse, but it never aroused him- he who enjoyed killing. He faked most of his emotions, and the ones he didn't was for the thrill of killing or simply making sure his godparents were okay.

He dated some girl in middle school, but the never lasted long because he was never emotionally attach to them, so he ended up breaking up with them, but Hinata was different. The moment he saw her, it was love at first sight. When he heard Ino mentioned this boy hitting Hinata, it stirred an anger in his heart.

After an hour of crying and him holding her, she had calmed down.

"Hinata." He finally spoke.

"You're free." He told her.

She began to sob again because she knew what he meant and the reason for cutting her bangs. He hadn't done it to spite her or make fun of her, but he did to encourage her. He caressed her cheek.

"No one will never hurt you again." He told her.

She wiped her eyes. How could she trust the words of a man she just met?

"Promise." She whispered.

Naruto pressed his lips against hers and gazed at her. "Promise."
