Hidden Leaf

This was not supposed to happen.
"Shit." They both said out loud.
He was dead. The person they were supposed to watch… was dead.
"Excuse me but… who are you two?"
They both pulled out their wallets. Of course they were prepared. Nonetheless the man looked skeptical. "How come I don't recognize you guys?"
They both looked at each other. Yeah, they weren't prepared for that. The blond smirked; he knew the other didn't have anything. He wrapped his arms around the man's neck.
"We're kind of new. We're a new independent detective agency."
"Oh really?"
The raven was dumbfounded. What?
"Yeah, over at Calla ST, The Hidden Leaf."
"Oh yeah I saw that…I was wondering what that was."
The blond then handed the man a card. The man nodded and headed towards the scene of the crime.

"...explain."
"Heh heh, it finally has a purpose."
"Wait…you mean to tell me you bought a place, gave it a name, for no apparent reason?"
"Convenient huh?" the blond slapped the man on the back. The man just stood there.
"And…we're partners?"
"Well for now, yes." The blond's expression changed immediately. "After all, you're here for a reason too, are you not?"
No comment. The blond smiled. "Well then, lets go."

--- ( Earlier that day)

"His name is Alexander Montolo." His boss explained as he slid the picture across the table. "He's helped us before in the past." Yeah he knew him. He was an ex-criminal but after some negotiating he decided to work under cover for them. Pretend he didn't get caught and dig out info no one else outside could get. "He got caught." His boss then slid a new picture with new faces. "These people from Sound are after him. It's your job to watch over him and make sure he isn't killed before he hands over the data to Raggous."
"Ch, so in other words…I'm babysitting?"
"Sasuke, you know how important this guy is."
"Yeah but, shouldn't I be the one tracking these guys?" He said as he pointed at the people after him.
"No. We already have someone doing that. Besides…he's going to need a man."
Sasuke knew where this was going.
"Seriously? A host?"
"It's the perfect disguise. And well…you would really fit the part." Sasuke rolled his eyes. Of course he did. "That and we already have the outfit pick out and fitted-"
"I get it, I get it. Tell him I'll meet him there … at the host club." Sasuke shivered. He hated places like that. Why would anyone set up a meeting there? His boss chuckled. Worst part was, his boss knew it too. Damn bastard.

"Oh, and one last thing to keep in mind." His boss then tossed the last picture towards Sasuke who caught it between his index and middle finger. "We're not alone." Sasuke's eyes widened.
"Is this?"
"Now your interested?" His boss Chuckled. "Figured…since your siblings and all."
Sasuke glared at him.
"He's no brother of mine." He then glanced back at the picture. "What does he want?"
His boss shrugged. "Who knows? All we know as of yet is that he's been seen following Montolo around."
Sasuke nodded.
"Hey-" his boss looked up at him. "Thanks…Kakashi."
His boss smirked as Sasuke left the room.
"Any time."

Sasuke walked out of the building and took a big whiff of air. Today, today he was finally going to kill that bastard. Today Itachi Uchiha was going to die.

---( Present)

Sasuke's phone rang. He groaned as he opened it up. Kakashi wasn't gonna like this, not one bit.
"Sasuke? What happened?"
"Montolo's dead."
There was silence "Oh Sasuke, you didn't…"
Sasuke sighed.
"I…I got distracted."
Now Kakashi groaned.
"Well…did you at least get to see him? Was he there?"
"Yeah…he was."
"Well?"
"Don't know. He didn't seem to be here for Montolo. More like someone who was after Montolo as well…"
"Ch, there's a lot of people who are after Montolo. Not to mention that's not even a guarantee…"
Sasuke knew that. But he knew he was right about this.
"Just get as much as you can." Sasuke then hung up.

"So, how did things go over with daddy?" The blond teased as he walked up to Sasuke. Sasuke glared at the man.
"Very funny. Not like you're not working for someone either."
The blond leaned back and smirked. "Maaaybe." He loved messing with this guy. He was a hoot. Sasuke twitched.
"Who do you work for?"
"Hm…what makes you think I am? Maybe I'm solo."
"Ah huh." Sasuke then walked up to him and removed the man's earing. "So this radio you're using isn't being used to talk to someone?"
He smiled. Oh yeah, this guy was gonna be fun.

--- ( Earlier that morning)

"So Iruka, what's up?" The blond walked into the room and seated himself in a chair leaning towards the table between him and his boss. His boss sighed.
"One of our providers is being targeted."
He then slid a picture towards him.
"Alex? *sigh* what he get himself into this time?"
"He apparently stole something important -"
"But got himself caught by a camera or something."
"Yeah…" His bossed coughed and handed him a couple more pictures. "We managed to get photos of the people we believe are going to show up and try to kill him."
"And you want me to knock their lights out, right?"
"Ah no. No, no, no."
"Ah come on! They look like sissies!"
"That may be, but whatever the deal is, it's going down at a host club. Therefore, the less attention the better."
The blond pouted in his seat. His boss always took the fun out of everything.
"So what is it I'm supposed to do."
"Simple, go in, pretend you're a guest while keeping an eye on him. Like a guard."
"A guard…without using violence?"
"Yep."
"I can't do that!!" the blond got up and headed towards the door.
"Naruto, not everything can be solved with violence!"
The blond then turned around and stock his tongue out, then walked out slamming the door behind him. His bossed sighed. As if his job wasn't hard enough. He then leaned out of the window and yelled as Naruto walked out of the building.
"And wear the earrings! I wanna stay in contact!"
Naruto merely waved to the man from behind before putting on his helmet and driving off.

--- ( Present)

Sasuke then looked at the earing in his fingers. It actually wasn't all that bad designed, it was hard to tell that it was a radio.
"Heh heh, you a jewelry boy?"
Sasuke rolled his eyes and tossed the earing back at Naruto. Chuckling to himself he began putting it back on.
"I mean, I bet it would look great with your outfit… and pretty boy complexion."
Sasuke turned his head away and flipped him off. Naruto burst out laughing.
"So, I take it you work for who ever wanted whatever Alex was delivering."
Sasuke glanced back at him.
"You don't even know what it is?"
Naruto shrugged his shoulders. "Wasn't paid to know, just protect the provider."
"The provider?"
"While 'working' for the supposedly top secret agency…*cough* the Sharingan *cough* Alex was giving us the left overs that wasn't picked up by them. Say a trade was going down for instance, he'd give them the info as to who was involved, where the people were gonna be, and all that big stuff. But if they were doing something on the side as well, once they were arrested for illegal exchanges-"
"Alex would hand you guys any hidden money, unfound drugs, and the connections that were used. In other words… you're a crook who steals the resources and uses other peoples work to continue right where they left off."
Naruto smirked "I prefer the term… 'recyclist'. If you would."
"Recycle my ass."

They watched as people were going over the scene of the crime.
"Well…was whatever you guys wanted sent?"
Sasuke remained silent. As if he was gonna give himself away…though this guy DID seemed to already know a lot about his situation anyways. Naruto shrugged.
"Fine, don't tell me." He then turned around "Not like I had information to exchange in return…"
"Such as?"
Naruto smirked. "That man you chased after while you were supposed to do your job… Itachi yes?"
Sasuke jolted towards him.
"What do you know?!"
"Depends…what was so important that Alex ended up dead?"
Sasuke knew he shouldn't just be giving away information, but he had to know.
"It-" Naruto covered Sasuke's mouth.
"Not here silly. Do you want others to hear?" Naruto removed his hand from his mouth then put on his helmet. "Come on, I'll give you a lift."

Sasuke followed Naruto to his motorcycle. Sasuke just stood there, nervous. He didn't trust these things.
"Huh, usually when I offer a ride on my Ducati girls go gaga."
"Yeah well I'm not a girl."
"Ya sure?" Naruto smirked " 'Cause you're acting like one."
Annoyed, Sasuke put on the spare helmet and hopped on, clutching Naruto from behind.
"You better not try to get us killed…"
"Oh but teme-" his engine purred "that's what makes it so fun." And with that sped off into the distance.
