Sage: I don't know…I want to make this multi-chaptered but then again I feel too lazy to make it a multi-chaptered story. For now it's a one-shot but maybe I'll add some chapters…if I feel like it

Disclaimer: If I own Naruto, it'd turn into a mystery, forensic story plus more blood and ketchup. We need more ketchup in Naruto.

Note: if you noticed in my profile, I like to watch murder mysteries and forensic files. Hence this story is created but I added a little humor (forced). I couldn't help it.

'…' Neji or Tenten doing Voiceover

Hyuuga Neji, Detective

Chapter One: An Old Partner Returns.

There was a sudden storm that night. It's usually rare in the humble country called Konoha but it had been raining for a week. The camera zooms out of Konoha then zooms in the street in front of a small office. It zoomed in on the window with the bold writing: HYUUGA NEJI, DETECTIVE. The camera entered the room showing a certain Hyuuga wearing his tattered brown trench coat with his brown hat covering his face. His face slid down on the desk while his arms were folded neatly. The camera zoomed in his face showing…

…that he's asleep…

Boom!

The camera quickly turns to the door. It was abruptly swung open by a young lady in red. Her pink hair was cut short and her face was covered by her pink bangs. She wore high-heel shoes and a tight red dress. Her face looked disturb when she walked in. The camera followed her move as she walked toward the desk where Neji was sleeping

"Wake up!"

Abruptly, his back were straight up as he was blinking his eyes. Another case? His eyes trace the woman from top to bottom and knew this would be an interesting case. Neji stroked his chin and whispers to her

"Terribly sorry. It's been my tenth case this week and looked like I have fallen asleep,"

She crossed her arms and hmphed. He was grinning at her and she didn't like it one bit. She huffed at her hair and slammed his desk with her hands

"Detective, I would be appreciated if you be quiet,"

He frowned. How dare she speak to him like that? He's Hyuuga Neji! The greatest detective this town ever seen! But nevertheless, he reached in with his chin under his hands

"Again, terribly sorry. What is the problem?"

She calmed down a bit and sat down in a chair nearby. She crossed her legs and put her left hand on her forehead

"My boyfriend has been gone for the last few days,"

His left eyebrow rose up

"I see…" he spoke quietly

"Do you know anyone who would be against your boyfriend?" The woman blinked and slammed his desk again

"You think someone killed him?" she said loudly. Hyuuga Neji's face darkened and whispers

"Listen, I'd appreciated if you stop doing that. I'm only doing my job after all. Now, let's start over."

She calmed down again and told him

"There is only one person who resent him. My best friend,"

"Your best friend?"

Her head hung down low

"He was in love with me but I didn't know after I dated my boyfriend. He wouldn't hurt a fly! I love both of them to death but I had to choose the love of my life! Please you got to help me find him again,"

Hyuuga Neji gave out his infamous smirk

"Hyuuga Neji…is on the case,"

"I knew it was going to be hard from the beginning. There is only one suspect, one victim, and a worrywart. Haruno Sakura has been dating Uchiha Sasuke for three months but he's been gone for the last three days and the prime suspect? Uzumaki Naruto…"

"When have you last seen him?" Neji said as they were both in the Haruno household.

"I last heard him over the phone three days ago. We were just talking for at least an hour then we hang up," Neji nodded as he wrote in some notes in his notebook. Sakura tried to peer in but he closed it and put it in his pocket

"Well Haruno-san, I'll get back to you soon,"

"How soon?" She looked hopeful

"Don't get your hopes up. I'll tell you when I'll tell you. Till then, get some sleep." Sakura sighed and nodded at the detective

"If you say so sir," He nodded back as she left. He stared down at the scene.

There was absolutely no clue about his disappearance. Neji sighed. It looks like he has to contact his old partner again…

"Ah my old partner. I really don't know why she would quit like that but I am positive if I ask her nicely she would be gladly to come back in my arms again,"

"No," she said bluntly

"Or maybe not,"

"Why not?" he said angrily. She was stubborn. Just because of one little case she would quit just like that!

"Because I quit your stupid agency." She said nonchalantly as she picked her chopsticks to pick up the little dim sum on the dish and popped it in her mouth.

"Don't you miss it?" She swallowed her food and said

"The only thing I miss is kicking your butt at darts," she smirked. She picked up another dim sum

"You were an expert at disappearances and cold cases!" She put down the chopsticks and glared at him

"That's right. Were!" His arms moved up wildly

"One case! You would quit after that one case!" She threw a dirty look at him. Neji glared at her and neither of them wanted to put it down

"I couldn't save that boy, Neji. If we were moving a little faster, we would've saved him!" Neji's glare grew stronger

"Baka! Don't you realize if you quit more people are dying every second!"

"I can't do it Neji! How can I save them if I couldn't save a four year old?" she stood up with another heated glare thrown at him

"Fuck it Tenten it wasn't your fault!" He held her shoulders with his eyes shooting at hers. Neji's glare stood while Tenten looked away. He loosens his grip and flails his arms down. She sighs as she pounds her table

"We were a minute too late Neji."

"We're going to be late to save this man if you keep sulking over that case," he said coldly. Tenten shook her head but she stood up and wore her old brown hat with a brown trench coat to match

"I guess the old Neji and Tenten partnership is back," she smiles at him. He smiles back while nodding at her.

"I knew she couldn't say no to me. After all I am Hyuuga Neji, the greatest-"

"Neji, you really got to stop with these voiceover,"

"…you're no fun Tenten,"

"So we have only one suspect and one missing person?" Tenten questioned as she looked over the document. Neji nodded while stroking his chin. Her head lifted up from the document

"It seems you missed an important clue Hyuuga," Neji raised his left eyebrow at her. She smiled.

"He's not missing at all,"

"Nani?"

The Next Day

"Oh Sasuke-kun you're back!" Sakura began to tackle him while Sasuke panicked.

"Get off of me!" he huffed as he glared at her. Sakura sniffed

"I thought you were missing,"

"I was never missing to begin with! I told you already. I'm going to my brother's compound for a week. Do not come over unless it's a life or death situation. My brother and I are having a fight and we're resolving it,"

"On the day he was 'missing' he said to her that he would be gone for a week but she couldn't hear what he said since the storm is interfering the connection all she heard was 'Do not come over…death situation…fight…resolving,' so when Sakura came over to his house he disappeared but he only went to his brother's compound.

All that time…wasted! But the good thing is I got my old partner back. She's one of the best there is…but she can't beat me! I am the greatest detective there is!"

"Neji…you got to stop doing this,"

"Tenten, I'm in the moment here. Let's not ruin it,"

"All right mister greatest detective in the world who sleeps with a stuffed bird and drinks out of a sippy cup,"

"…you ruined it…"

If you have a problem, contact Hyuuga Neji…Detective!

End

Sage: That was a very lame ending. I'll make it up for future chapters I swear. I'll add in everyone. I mean everyone but for now it's a one-shot. Neji and Tenten mostly. However there'll be developing relationship between those two. I know it because I'm a supporter of them…and I made this story. Ciao for now!
