3:54 A.M.

Sakura let herself into her best friend's apartment, calling out to her. She could hear mumbling coming from the living room.

"Ino?" Sakura called again.

As she walked into the living room, she could start to understand the mumbling. There was only a male voice speaking, definitely not Ino's.

"Listen, you're life could depend on this: Don't blink, don't even blink. Blink and you're dead."

'What the hell,' Inner Sakura mumbled, confused.

Sakura walked into the living room. Ino had apparently left the TV on, which was strange in itself. Ino was a total neat freak, and her living room was trashed. There were three TVs and about four laptops all scattered around the room. Only one of them was playing, the others were paused.

Sakura focused on the only TV that was playing. It showed a man with sun-kissed hair, beautiful blue eyes, and a serious look on his face.

"They're fast, faster than you can believe," he said. He talked with his hands a lot, she noticed.

'Whatever he's saying must be important,' Sakura thought. Inner Sakura agreed.

He raised his voice and continued, "Don't turn you're back, don't look away, and don't blink!"

He paused and stated quietly, "Good luck."

The screen froze and Sakura looked at the other screens. All of them had that same guy, except for one of the laptops on the floor's screen. In it had the same blond haired guy, but there was also a girl in the frozen picture. She had short bluish-black hair and pale white eyes without irises, her head was close to the man's and she was looking at the camera, frowning.

Sakura decided she would ask Ino about it later, after she told her what happened with the weeping angel.

Sakura walked into the kitchen, grabbed Ino's home phone, and started to make coffee.

Twenty-two-year-old Ino Yamanaka was sleeping peacefully in her bed, until her cell phone that she always charged next to her bed went off, loudly.

Ino rolled over, grabbed her phone, and without even looking to see who was calling, answered.

"Hello?" She said groggily.

"Pig, wake up. We need to talk. I'm making you coffee."

Ino was too tired for nicknames, "Sakura Haruno, it's four in the morning. You think I'm going to meet you at four in the morning?"

"No, I'm in the kitchen," she replied. "What's with all those screens in your living room?"

Ino sighed and looked at the clock. "Oh, Kami," she breathed.

Ino sat up and looked at the clock again. "Oh Kami!" she said loudly.

"What?" Sakura replied.

Ino sighed and said, "Sakura, you've met my brother Deidara, haven't you?"

"No?" Sakura asked.

"Well, you're about to," Ino replied.

Ino then hung up, got out of bed, looked herself in the mirror, and walked out of the room.

Sakura frowned. Ino often complained about her older brother, but Sakura had never met him. She heard Ino hang up the phone, and hearing noise in the doorway, looked up.

A naked man with long blond hair with the top layer of his hair in a ponytail, the rest out, was standing in the doorway. He had blue eyes, and Sakura noticed this because she made sure to not look anywhere but his face.

"Woah," Inner Sakura said, grinning, "He's pretty hot."

Sakura blushed.

He looked at her, surprised, and managed to say, "Okay, not sure… but, pants?" He pointed down, and Sakura looked away.

"No," she said.

Then they could hear a very embarrassed Ino coming into the kitchen.

"Put them on! Put them on! I hate you! Ugh! What are you thinking!" Ino hissed out.

Sakura sat down at the kitchen counter, put Ino's cup of coffee on what would be her side of the table, and took a sip of her own.

She could here Deidara walk away, hopefully to find some pants, and Ino walk into the kitchen.

"Sorry," she said, slightly calmer, "My useless brother."

Sakura put her coffee down, suddenly reminded about what had happened at the abandoned house. She looked at Ino seriously. Ino could tell something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Ino asked.

Sakura continued to stare seriously at Ino, thinking how she was going to tell her what happened without Ino thinking she's crazy.

"What happened?" Ino asked, concern evident in her voice.

'Just tell her what happened from you're point of view, and if she doesn't believe you, take her to the house. The words on the wall have to still be there,' Inner Sakura told her.

'Okay, thanks,' Sakura replied.

She took a breathe, and started to explain.
