Hey guysss I know I have other stories, but I've just decided to post up all of my in-progress stories (that are already typed up), becasue honestly, I work on these stories when I'm not writing the other ones. So, yeah. Haha and I actually have a lot done for this one. And idk. I really enjoy writing this one for some reason.
Anyways enjoy. :)
" Hey Sakura can you give Ino her sweater back to her for me? I borrowed it last week and never got a chance to give it to her." Kimmy said uncaringly. She had her hip popped out, hand on her hip, and the other holding the blue and purple sweater in front of her.
I gritted my teeth slightly. This was the reason why me and her had gotten into a fight a couple of days ago. This was exactly what I was talking about, these, these stupid people! After our fight I haven't had a proper conversation, or one at all, with Ino, but I wasn't going to say that to her face. I took the sweater with a smile.
" Sure, no problem for me."
" Uh, yeah thanks, tell her I said thanks."
I turned around to leave from her, but she stopped me before I could even take a step forward.
" Oh, and tell her I said sorry."
I turned my head around to look at the black-haired girl.
" Sorry? What for?" I asked my eye narrowed a bit with distrust.
She dismissed it with a wave.
" Just tell her, she'll know what I'm talking about."
My green eyes narrowed more.
" What'd you do to Ino?"
She rolled her eyes at me and began to walk away.
" Just tell her, jeez." She spoke over her shoulder.
With suspicion I started walking and thinking of all the places Ino'd be right about now.
Which, all in all, was a very small list, she would either be three places.
With her boyfriend, on the school's roof, or at home.
I check with Ino's boyfriend. He said she didn't know were she was and looked a little nervous when I had asked at first. I didn't say anything to him but he was definitely hiding something. Next, I checked the roof. Getting up to the roof was always a hassle, but due to Ino's repetitive streak of acting up, she had gotten good at opening and getting into things that were meant to stay closed.
Wiggling the hatch a bit as quietly as I could, didn't want teachers catching me, I opened it just enough for me to slip in. Then, I pushed the door closed, a soft tick was heard. I didn't see her. So I checked around the back. Turning around the corner I stopped dead in my tracks.
Ino was standing, faced towards me, on the edge of the roof.
" Ino?..." I said weakly." Ino, what what're you doing?" I took a step forward.
Her eyes looked lifeless as she looked into mine. Her blond hair started to whip around her as the wind picked up a bit. The knee length deep purple dress she wore billowed out around her making her look mystical.
I swallowed hard and took another nervous step forward.
" Ino, get down from there..." I felt my eyes start to water and blur a bit. " Ino, you can't do this, you're my best friend I won't let you." I spoke a little louder. " I won't let you throw your life away! You have me, so, Yamanaka Ino get down!" I yelled desperately, my hands were clutched at my heart.
It was like a snap, Ino blinked and her eyes had light in them again.
I smiled at her.
" Ino." I sighed.
She looked really confused. She then noticed me and was more confused.
" Sakura? What am I doing here? How'd I get here?" She said her brows furrowed.
She looked down and gasped.
" W-what am I-"
" Ino can you please get down from there?" I pleaded.
She took a nervous shuffle forwards followed by a shaky step down the step.
She moved towards me with a strange look on her face, it was as if she had no idea what was going on. I moved a bit slowly towards her, not wanting to scare her.
When she was in arms reach I smiled and went to grab her.
One minute she was in front of me with a sheepish smile, and the next she was flying in the air. It was as if time froze on its own. Her hair wild in the wind, and her face had a look of pure horror.
My eyes widened.
I screamed out to her, my hand still reaching out to her.
She screamed bloody murder as I saw her form disappear as it plummeted towards the ground.
I heard a sickening sound and screaming followed.
My out stretched arm was shaking. I let out a terrified breath and pulled my hand close to my chest, my other arm cradling it.
I felt my throat close up and my breath increased rapidly. My weak legs drogue my over to the edge of the roof. I had to look, she couldn't have been dead. No, Ino was invincible and strong, she wasn't dead. I was proven wrong as my misted eyes saw a mob of people crowded around a small form sprawled out in unimaginable ways.
Letting out a cry, my knees buckled under me involuntary.
Pulling the brown wool blanket closer to me I let my dull lifeless eyes roam around.
There wasn't much to look at honestly. Just four white walls, a dark brown door to my right, and a big piece of Plexiglas in front of me, where I'm sure they were judging and discussing me.
My face felt like plastic from the many times I had cried. I'm sure my eyes had puffed up from that too, just like I'm sure my face was a dark shade of pink.
I didn't move my head when I heard the heavy door open and close. I just kept my focus on a black spot on the upper right of the wall adjacent to me. The person had moved out the metal chair, making noises as it scraped against the floor. Then I heard a slap of papers in front of me.
Hearing a huff the person finally spoke, " Haruno, Sakura." A voice started," Twenty years old, studies at Yoko University for about 2 years now, majors in Biology and Organic Chemistry. Roommates are Hyuga Hinata and Yamamoto Yamato. Has a part time job at a nearby convince store. Used to do track and field in high school, makes good grades. Mother and Father dead and... Let's see... Missing younger brother when you were about 14." My eyes snapped over to the woman at mention on my sibling. She smirked when catching my reaction.
" Well, since it seems I have your attention now, gonna give me a good reason why you were up on roof?" she asked with a hint of amusement.
I narrowed my eyes at her.
" I already told you guys countless of times.".
She leaned back a bit.
" Yeah, well, I just wanna hear it again."
" You think this is funny!?" I snapped. " I watched my best friend die! She was right in front of me, then died!"
She only titled her head to the side.
" But you were the only one up there, and as it says in your report you claim that Yamanaka had 'flew off' the roof."
My fists clenched and unclenched.
" Last time I check Haruno, people don't just fly off buildings, and since you were the only other person up on that roof one must assume you pushed her off."
" I didn't." I growled.
" What I don't get is," She continued as if I had never spoken, " is why, why did you do it? From what you told us she was your best friend. Why would you kill your best friend? Where there boy troubles? You sneak behind her back and fool around with her boyfriend?-"
" -No!"
"- Yamanaka had dated a few guys in the past year... I wonder, maybe you were jealous that she was better looking and had more friends than you...? It's not an uncommon thing for us girls to feel. But," She frowned as I clenched my teeth," to go out of your way to bring her to the roof and push her off..."
I said nothing.
" No? Hmm... Maybe you're right, it was an accident. Yamanaka told you to meet her on the roof to talk about your betrayal and whatnot. You went, got into an altercation with Yamanaka. In a fury she pushed you, and you pushed her back, except only a little too hard. Does that sound right?"
My cold eyes bored into hers.
" I didn't do anything."
She pulled the manila folder to her and flipped through some pages.
Once she found them she flung them out onto the table in front of me.
I didn't get a chance to look away, I felt like any moment I was going to crumble. I couldn't do anything now, the damage was already done.
I looked at her, eyes blazing, and mouth in a firm line.
Pulling my arm out in a fury I swept my hand across the table in fury, letting the papers run wild in the air.
I glared at her with hatred and loathing.
She raised a brow.
" What? Don't get mad at me, you did that."
" I did not!" I yelled.
Suddenly the door was slammed open. I didn't take my eyes off the brunette.
The woman's eyes slide over to the entry way, I saw a hint of shock.
" Sir."
" Takura." A stern voice spoke. It was stern but quiet. " Please, leave."
" What-I-"
" Now."
She got up reluctantly and made her way towards the door, my eyes never leaving her form, she gave a glare over her shoulder before she exited.
The snap of the lock was the only noise that went through the air.
I didn't make a move to look or acknowledge him, I just started at the Plexiglas that seemed to mock me of my freedoms.
A slender body dressed in a blood red button down shirt blocked my view.
Finally giving in I looked up and met with blue cerulean eyes. The bluest I've ever seen, it's not a common thing to see here anyway, epically that blond hair that sat on his head. He held some sort of tan, or maybe it was the contrasting blond hair framing his face making it seem like that though.
It felt like and hour of me just sitting there staring at him, but it was only a good minute.
" Hi, my name is Namikaze Minato, I run this investigation force. Sorry about that earlier I was not aware of Takura had taken the photos. I deeply apologize. So, what is your name-"
" I'm sure you already know. " I stated dully.
" Yes, I do Mrs. Haruno." He smiled.
The younger man's face suddenly became serious looking, I would be lying if I said I wasn't a bit uncomfortable. There was just something about the intensity in his features.
" You said Yamanaka-san flew off the roof top, correct?" He spoke, voice low.
I didn't say anything.
" Haruno-san, I need you to answer me." He leaned in a bit," I'm trying to help you." His eyes softened.
There was something in his eyes I haven't seen in a long time. Something I've always secretly craved as I became older and endured hardships. It was trust.
"…You believe me…" I said a bit shocked.
He gave a small smile.
" Yes, I do."
After a moment of mulling over my options I decided to answer him.
" Yes."
He nodded." Okay. You're free to go, but I would like for you to drop by around twelve o'clock. There's someone who I would like for you to speak with."
I must have looked a bit guarded because he suddenly grabbed my hand in a caring fashion. I'd be lying if I said my face didn't turn hot even a little bit.
He gave me a warm smile.
" I promise, this will be very beneficial to the case. I would really appreciate it if you came." He suddenly whipped out a business card and slide it towards me," If you ever feel like you're in danger, or if you ever just want to talk you can give me a call. Day or night."
Walking up to the police station the next morning was nerve wracking. I didn't want to go inside, but I felt the need to, like it was my duty. Maybe it was just my guilt talking. I never even got to say good-bye or even make up with Ino. Those kinds of thoughts have been flooding my mind for the past 21 hours. I didn't get any sleep last night. I didn't even take a shower. I felt so messed up right now, and with exams a few weeks away I was beginning to feel as if the whole world was against me this very moment. The last thing I needed to add to my personal problems was to be in a room full of people looking at me as if I were a killer. I didn't do it and no one believed me.
Please tell me what you think :D
And Sasori's gonna be in the next chapter and so on ;)
Catch ya later
