After Dinner Sakura walks up to her room again. She sits down on the cold floor and starts with her schoolwork, she has already forgotten all about the book in the wall.
After a couple of hours, she could hear her fathers loud snoring from the room beside hers. She puts on the same cloths as the night before and once again starts running trough the narrow streets to the scene of the murder.
When she approaches the phone boot Sakura lowers her speed and starts running more quietly. She could feel the tension rise with every step she takes. When she at last stands in front of the phone boot, she notices the blood had been wiped away. New glass walls had been put up and the telephone was in working order. There was no lamp; the light from the phone was all that could guide her. Sakura gazes up at the ceiling until she notices a presence. Sakura turns around and there stood one of the most beautiful women she has ever seen.
The woman seemed to be around 17years old. She had long blond hair and cold sapphire blue eyes.
"Who the hell are you?!" the woman asked with an irritated voice.
The woman had black pants and her breasts where wrapped with bandage. Over her shoulders she had a long guy uniform over part (????gakuran (学ラン, gakuran) or the tsume-eri (詰め襟, tsume-eri)????) That swayed behind her like a cape. Sakura's heart skipped a beat, even though she could not clearly see her face she must admit that that woman was one of the most beautiful woman Sakura has ever seen.
"..Sakura, and you?" I said tying to sound normal.
The blond woman starred at Sakura. "I recognize your name, do you owe us money?"
"Not as far as I know"
The blond woman pushes Sakura against the new glass walls and looks her in the eyes.
"Get out of here before I kill you then" she hissed
"Why must I leave? I came here first, I bet you wouldn't even be able to hit a elephant even though it was standing three centimeters ahead of you" Sakura didn't know why she was talking back, nor did she feel as calm as she sounded.
"How dare you say such things to our leader?!" Sakura sees a young girl stand there in the shadows with some other girls. Sakura hadn't noticed her before.
"You can't even defend yourself?" Sakura said and sniggered.
The blond (so-called Leader) turned around and glared at the girls. "Shut up! Don't meddle into my affairs!"
That was when the moonlight landed on the Leaders left shoulder where one could clearly see a tattooed rose with five petals.
"Midnight… Roses" Sakura mumbled high enough for the woman to notice.
"So you know us?" she said with a scornful smile. Sakura stood there like frozen, quickly she elbowed the new glass wall making it shatter, and she had now an escape path as the blond woman backed away. Sakura started running away with all her might.
"What are you doing just standing there?! Get her!" Sakura heard the blond shout to the others.
After hearing footsteps coming after her, Sakura pushed herself over her limit trying to run faster. Even though that it just felt that they where coming closer by every second. That was when she heard a shot! ´They have pistols?´ Sakura thought as she turned the corner, successfully dodging the shot. After continuing after turning at the corner Sakura noticed how they no longer followed her. However, Sakura didn't slow down nor did she lower her guard and after ten minutes, she was standing in front of her house. Immediately she started climbing up to her window.
In the safety of her room, Sakura fell down on her bed, breathing heavily. She wanted to know who they where, and why she felt like she mad met the blond girl before. She just wanted to know why she somehow felt a bit happy. Now something clicked in her mind, the blood at the scene of the crime was formed as a rose! Just like the tattoo! Everything seemed to add up somehow now…
Sakura put on her pajamas and as she tied up her short pink hair she remembered the book in her wall. Quietly, trying not to wake up her father, Sakura removed her poster once again and picked up the book she fond the other day. She puts the book on her table, the book was pure black with blood red stains on. It even had a lock on, noticing this Sakura used a hairpin to get it open. After a minute or two she got it open. She carefully opens the diary, she could clearly tell that it hasn't been opened for al very long time. As she saw the first page she felt how she was almost about to cry,. There, on the first page was a picture on herself and her best friend, Ino. It must have been for something like four, maybe five years ago. They had both blond hair and they smiled so happily. In the right corner of the picture they both had written they're names and Ino had even written a message.
You will forever be by best friend, whatever may happen. Because you are you and that is why I love you
// Ino
Sakura smiled when she thought how fun they always had together. They where together everyday, they always had fun. Then Sakura remembered the first time they ever met.
//Flashback no Jutsu//
Sakura sat and cried on a bench at the park near her home when a little girl with short blond hair walked by, Ino stopped and starred at the crying Sakura.
"Hello, why are you crying?" she asked and sat down beside Sakura. Sakura looked up at her but quickly turned her head away continuing to cry.
"What? Have you mother died or what?" Ino said ironically and smiled. Sakura starred at Ino and started crying even more.
"eh!? Oh God! Sorry I didn't think It had really happened" Ino though for a moment before she pat Sakura on her head and pulled her into an embrace. Sakura stopped crying and looked up at the smiling Ino.
"How about me being there by your side instead? Just like a mother!"
"You r-really mean that?" Sakura asked
"Of course! From now on I'll always be here by you side! What's your name?"
"I'm Sakura.. Haruno Sakura. What about you?" Sakura asked blushing.
"I'm Yamanaka Ino! Do you want to go to the swings? I can make you swing really high up! It feels like your flying." Ino said and jumped down from the bench. Sakura jumped down after her and smiled a shy smile.
"really?"
"yeah! I've done it many times!" Ino said and they ran away smiling.
Ino came by every morning to pick up Sakura so that they could go to school together. Everyday they where together, make it schooldays or not.
//KAI//
Sakura looked over at her clock that lay on her table, 03.06. Sakura puts the diary in a box and goes to bed.
The next day after school Sakura rushes home, no one was home. She went to her father's computer and reads the report once again. After a while she hears footsteps on the other side of the front door. Sakura closes the door to her fathers study and quickly writes out the report and shuts of the computer.
Sakura looks out from her fathers study and sees the woman from the day before standing there talking to her father.
The woman had curly long brawn hair and a smile of an angel. No makeup, no fancy cloths yet she looked so beautiful. She wore a normal polis uniform.
"It almost seems like your house just gets more and more like home for me." the woman said with a sweet light voice.
Sakura takes the chance to run up the stairs as they take they're shoes off. When she got into her room she leaves the door slightly open to be able to hear what they where saying.
"Thank you so much for letting me come over"
"My pleasure Kasuga-san" he said as he helped her with her jacket.
"I brought dinner with me so you won't have to eat alone if that is alright with you"
"Thank you so very much, please feel right at home." he said with a bright smile.
Sakura closes her door and lets out a sigh.
"No dinner for me then.." she mumbles while she takes up the black diary from the box. She skips the first pages and stops at page 6.
Dear mr. Diary
Today Ino and I stole three apples from the store down the street.
It was really fun but somewhat scary. Tomorrow she said we where going to do something else.
Goodnight mr. Diary
Sakura smiles at the memories and continues reading somewhere in the middle in the diary where she read:
Dear mr. Diary
Ino and I met Hinata-chan, TenTen-kun, and Temari-chan today. We had real fun together! Ino had fixed beer for us to drink so we where over at Hinata-chan's place. It was really fun, hope we can do it again soon! Tomorrow we are going to be tattooed! I really wonder how, but Ino said she could arrange it somehow.
Goodnight mr. Diary.
Sakura almost laughed out load when she remembered how ill she felt the day after, of course she got used to it after some time. They really did stuff like that often.
Before Sakura could think more on the matter she remembered that the murder case had to come first! She could not sit here reading her old diary, she should read the report. She has to get back her father.
Sakura knew that Madoka wasn't rich, her father owned a company but it went bankrupt for over one year ago. Therefore, money couldn't have been the sore of the murder.
12.45 Sakura put down the papers on her desk, she has read trough it so many times. Yet she seems to get nowhere. She could hear the TV down stairs, assuming that her father still was awake she lay down on her soft bed and before she knew it she fell asleep.
