Last Time:

"Good," Sasuke smirked underneath his mask "I want you to question her today. She'll be Naruto's house."

Sakura nodded.

"Oh... Sakura it's you." Hinata said after she opened the door of Naruto's house.

"Ano..." Out of all the uncomfortable moments in Sakura's life, this moment was the most uncomfortable.

"Sakura...?" Hinata said concerned. "Is there something wrong?"

Sakura shook her head, as some kind of way to get her nerves out of her system "Actually—"

Hinata cut Sakura off, "I need to ask you," she paused and closed the door behind her.

'What's going on?' Sakura wondered.

"I... I think I might be pregnant... And I'm too... embarrassed to go and buy a test..." she looked down at the ground as a way of hiding her growing blush.

Sakura's eyes widened. "O-Okay... ano... I-I'll take you to the hospital." she bit her lower lip. 'This isn't good.'

Konoha Hospital

Sakura came back into the small examining room and sat in a chair across the room from Hinata. "It'll be a while before the test results come in."

Hinata nodded her head. "I can't believe it." she said under her breathe.

"Nani?"

"O-Oh, nothing."

It was quiet for a while. "So, ano..." Sakura said. "Hinata, how's Kiyoshi doing?"

Hinata sighed. "Well, he's doing alright; considering."

"That's good."

"Yeah, I guess so."

"What do you mean?"

"I just wish I knew what, he was really feeling." she paused. "It just... It seems like he's keeping it all bottled up inside."

Sakura opened her mouth to speak, but was cut off. "Oh, you performed Kiba's autopsy, didn't you?"

Sakura had almost forgotten that she had performed Kiba's autopsy, but she had, unfortunately, never forgotten what Sasuke had asked her to do. "Yeah... I did."

"What did you find?"

For some reason this caught Sakura off guard. 'What should I tell her? I can't tell her what I found... she's a suspect.' Suspect. Until now she hadn't thought of Hinata as a suspect in her own husband's death. It didn't seem real. Hinata would never do anything like that. But then again, what did she really know? Now, that she had thought about it she had never really spent any "quality time" with Hinata. No. Sakura may have not spent any real time with Hinata to get to know her, but she had always had a 'gut feeling' that Hinata wasn't the kind of person who would never do something horrific, especially murder. "Well, actually, I haven't fully completed the autopsy.. so I can't tell you." Sakura lied.

"Oh—Well, when you do finish can you tell me what you find?"

Sakura looked at Hinata's face. 'I can't believe I just said that. Hinata wouldn't do anything like that.' "Sure!" Sakura said as she gave her a toothed smile, while a pang of guilt her.

"Thank you."

'Why the hell did she have to say that?!'

"I probably should be going. I'll come back for the test results later today."

"Okay."

'Why did you say that? Have you forgotten what Sasuke told us to do?!'

Hinata had barely gotten out of her chair when Sakura said, "Oh, actually you might just wanna stay here."

Hinata looked at her oddly.

"I-I just mean, the test will be done in about 45 more minutes. You'll have the results back faster if you stay here." Sakura held her breathe as Hinata processed what Sakura had just said.

Hinata smiled. "Okay. I suppose you're right. I'll stay." she sat back down.

A deafening silence filled the room. 'Stay something!'

"So, ano, Hinata Shino said that he found you at Naurto's house when he told you about Kiba's death... Why were you there?"

Hinata's heart sank to the bottom of her stomach. "Ano... I-I went there because..." 'Oh shit! What do I tell her?' "I was there because I had bumped into him... literally... earlier that day, a-and I didn't get a chance to apologize. I just went over there to apologize.." Hinata could just about kick herself. 'Oh, Kami! That was the worst lie I've ever heard!'

Sakura chuckled a little and Hinata's heart sank lower in her body. "That's funny! Where did you bump into him?"

Hinata look at Sakura with a perplexed look. What? It appeared that Sakura had bought Hinata sorry excuse for a lie. "Ano, it was just, ano, when I was in a hurry to come home...?" Hinata held her breathe.

"Why were you in a hurry to get home?" Sakura's expression had change almost as quickly as the snap of a finger. Her expression was no longer care-free... she was serious.

"I-I" Hinata took a deep breathe in and then out. "I can't say." she looked down.

Sakura opened her mouth. She stopped, however, when the door was kicked open.

Hinata looked in awe at the person standing in the door way. "ANBU." she whispered.

"This interrogation is going nowhere." the ANBU said like he was annoyed.

"Interrogation?!" Hinata said surprised as she averted her gaze to Sakura. "What you mean interrogation?" she look back at the ANBU.

"Gomen nasai, Hinata." Hinata looked at Sakura.

"N-Nande?"

"I-I don't know," Sakura said ashamed as she looked to the floor. "I'm sorry."

Hinata felt a tight grip on her arm. She wanted to scream. Her bruises from Kiba hadn't fully healed and they still hurt like Hell. She bit her tounge. She looked at the hand on her arm and followed it to it's owner, the ANBU. "I'm taking you in for questioning."

"And if I refuse?" Hinata asked.

"Do you really want to find out.?"

? ? ?

"Mrs. Inuzuka… tell us what happened the night of your husband's death." said the cat masked ANBU, who was standing beside two other ANBU.

"…" The raven-haired woman remained silent before saying, "There is nothing to tell. He died and that's all that happened… I'm tried of people trying to get every ounce of information out of me, even after I tell them I've told them everything I know."

"Mrs. Inuzuka we have reason to believe your husband was murdered. We are only asking you these questions because you were the last person to be seen with him." said the cat masked ANBU.

The raven-haired woman sighed before saying, "How many times do I have to tell you, I've told you everything I know? Why do you carry on asking me questions?

"Because we think you're keeping something from us… I will ask again what happened the night of your husband's death?"

"I will tell you once again, I've told you everything I know… He died and that's all that happened."

"Mrs. Inuzuka if you don't give us anymore information, I'll be forced to use a jutsu on you that puts the target in a state of reverse hypnosis, allowing them to remember details that they other wise would not."

"I don't care!" said the raven-haired woman in a louder tone than before, "Use any jutsu you want on me. Nothing you do will ever make me tell you what happened that night!"

The cat masked ANBU sighed before saying "You give me no choice…" The ANBU began making hand signs, "Jigyaku no Jutsu: Time Reversal Techinique!"
