I DON'T OWN NARUTO OR WHAT THE NIGHT KNOWS THEME BY DEAN KOOTZ

It was damp day for Gaara. He was heading towards the hospital as part of an investigation. He didn't have the radio on. The only sounds that could be heard were the windshield wipers. Something about this case hunted him. He got towards the entrance of the hospital and parked illegal. That really didn't matter because he was a detective. Even though that was the case it wasn't the cruiser he was driving it was his own. He put a police sign up in order to avoid any traffic violations. He was kind of breaking the rules by doing this, but then again he always broke the rules. He wasn't a rogue detective or anything, but sometimes he found his way much quicker.

He saw the receptionist at the front desk and immediately she wrote his name down on the visitation sheet. While Gaara was signing in, she called the orderly that was in charge of the person Gaara was visiting. Knowing that she would want to talk about the patient Gaara was visiting, Gaara waited on the other side of the room until he noticed Tsunade. She wore her normal lab coat and greeted him. As they got on the elevator, they caught up with each other as old friends and talked about the weather. When the elevator reached the destined floor, which was the fourth, they got off. "Are you armed?" She asked. "I have my gun." He says. "You need to leave it with me." Normally Gaara would tell them to fuck off. However, since this was Tsunade and he trusted her, he handed it over without protest. They come up to a door that required a hand scan. The fourth floor was plainly decorated, which was somewhat depressing.

"When will he be moved to a public place or is he staying under watch?" He asked her. "Honestly, I don't know. If it were up to me he would stay here forever." She replied. They come up to room with a mirror. On the inside, there was the culprit. "It's double-paned." She explains. There was only one window in the entire room and it faced towards the downtown area. "You aren't a psychiatrist." Said the man. "I'm with the police." Gaara said. "I already admitted to the murders." The quiet man says. He was faced against the window and have yet to turn towards Gaara. "I know that Sasuke." There was a bitter laugh escaping Sasuke's mouth. "Then what do you want?" Gaara knew that Sasuke was taunting him. He looked at his old friend. When Gaara heard what happened he couldn't believe his ears. "I want to know why." He says. Normally, it was against the rules for cops to be on a case that was a conflict of interest. Again, Gaara thought is his way was better. He fought tooth and nail with Shikamaru to get in charge of it and no way was he going to give up on his friend.Sasuke turns slowly. "You mean you want my motive." It was more a statement rather than a question. Gaara nodded.Sasuke just stared at him. "Devastation."

Gaara stared at him trying to process what exactly did that mean. It was silent for a bit. It was like "that awkward moment" kind of thing. Coming up with no clues, Gaara spoke. "What does that mean?" There was a twinkle in Sasuke's eye. For a moment, it looked like Gaara may have gotten an answer, but Sasuke just turned back to the window. "Dammit, Sasuke talk to me." Again, silence. "Will you bring me something?" He asks in a quiet voice. "Nope. No can do." Gaara said.He sees Sasuke's broken smile. "Way to treat an old buddy." He says. "As far as I'm concern you aren't the Sasuke I know." Gaara says. "Pity." He responded.Gaara glared at this person. This, complete stranger who seemed to have taken over his friends body. This wasn't the Sasuke who was smart enough to on the honor list during high school. Or the one who was able to skip a grade ahead of everyone else. No, this was someone else. This someone had darkness in his heart. "I killed my wife first. It was easy. She was watching T.V. Something that she always did. Stabbed her in the back. After all, the backstabbing she did, she had it coming." Sasuke says closing his eyes. Almost as if he was reliving the night all over again.

"I killed my son next. He was busy playing with his action figures. Took that lovely golf you gave me and swung it across his head three times. I can still hear the impact." He licks his lips animal-like. Gaara listened detached from what Sasuke was saying. He read about the deaths in the reports. Sasuke was just now telling him what order he did them in. "Last, was my daughter. Ah, her gasps sounded like music in my ears. Choked her with my bare hands. I felt like I gave her to much mercy with that so I stabbed her fourteen times. Exactly." Sasuke leans against the glass almost if the window was trying to tell him something. Gaara, who was leaning against the wall had heard enough. He turn towards the door. And like a child Sasuke says, "Wait, don't leave me. You are the one that holds the answers. Help me, Help your friend." Gaara faced the door. "I don't know what you are talking about. What do I know." Sasuke doesn't answer and just looks down.Just as Gaara was about to leave he had one more thing to ask. "How long did you plan this Sasuke?" Sasuke looks up that child-like voice was gone when he replied. "For a long ass time."

Gaara pushed the button letting Tsunade know that he was done. "Well?" She asks him as the door closes leaving Sasuke in isolation. "I don't even recognize him anymore." She sighs. "Neither do I." They took the elevator back down.After they got off Tsunade turns to him. "Maybe you should ask Sakura?" Gaara shook his head. "Last thing I need is for my girlfriend be in this case as well." Tsunade shrugs. "What Naruto and Hinata?" He grunts. "Naruto's quirky spirit was shattered the day he found out. Hinata downright fainted." He says silently. Which was true. The four of them shared a home together and since then they heard the news there was nothing, but a cloud of gloom. "I'll try with them. I can't promise anything." He says before leaving.
