Chapter 4 : Failure Wind
You can beat me and -
You can take him away all you want
But I won't let you run away this time
Cause you're mine to play
Like a pawn in my game
But I will do it quickly
So you don't need to worry about it-
But while you're still safe
Try to stay alive
And whatever you do
Just don't take candy from strangers
From: Devil
To: Sakura
I found something that I shouldn't have, I guess. You like candy, don't you? It wasn't that hard to figure it out.
Please don't get me wrong, my cherry blossom. I certainly wasn't stalking you; I just happened to see you taking candy from a girl. You weren't even friends with her! So because you are mine, obviously, I thought that I had to protect you from nearly getting yourself killed. Am I wrong? I don't think so.
To make it more convincing, I'm going to tell you a very good story so that you'll never act so. . . I don't know. . . stupid? Alright my dear, please read this well written short story that I found in. . . where?. . . I don't care actually. Let's begin.
There was a young girl named Alina who loved to eat sweets. One day, on her way home from school, she passed by a man selling candy on the side of the street. His cart was packed with all sorts of mouth-watering treats. Alina didn't have any money, but the man told her he would give her some candy for free.
The delighted girl gladly accepted his generous offer and ran home with her bag of candy. She gobbled it down and within minutes the bag was empty. Not long afterwards, she began to experience painful abdominal cramps. It felt as if her belly was on fire. The shooting pains in her stomach grew worse as the night wore on.
By bedtime, Alina couldn't stand the pain any longer and her father took her to the local hospital. In the emergency room, the doctors examined her, but couldn't figure out the source of the problem. After taking an X-ray, they were shocked. Her stomach was inexplicably missing and was replaced by a large, dark mass. The surgeons decided they had to operate immediately.
They placed her under local anasthetic and performed surgery on her stomach, cutting her open with a scalpel. They were horrified when they peered in and found a hairy creature lurking inside. It was the size of a fist and had huge, sharp teeth and an unpleasant odor.
The surgeons extracted the mysterious creature with tongs and placed it in a glass jar, sending it to the lab for analysis. The damage the animal did to the girl's insides was immense. It ate Alina's entire stomach, leaving just an empty space.
The only thing the surgeons could do was attach her esophagus to her small intestine, bypassing the stomach completely. This meant that, for the rest of her life, whatever she ate went in one end and came out the other.
Be careful. Don't take candy from strangers, my love.
The Devil
To: Devil
From: Sakura
You little stalker! How dare you follow me like that? First, you took him away from me, then you. . . And don't you dare call me "my love". Who are you, a psycho? You're not him, you hear? Just because you took his name as Devil doesn't mean that you are one. Actually, you're worse.
Me taking an innocent candy has nothing to do with you. And she is my friend by the way, her name is Aileen, though you don't need to know.
Sakura
At Sasuke's Office 22.45
"You're trying to tell me that you found some ashes in Haruno's house that aren't a day old. So by that, you're actually accusing one of the detectives. Am I wrong, Kyi? "
"I didn't mean to accuse anyone Sasuke-sama."
"Well then. Please explain one more time, Kyi."
"I-I saw s-some ashes i-in Haruno's house. Th-that's all, really."
"I perfectly understand Kyi. Don't worry, though. I'll investigate it. You may leave."
"Yes, Sasuke-sama."
Sasuke watched as Kyi left his small office. The wooden door creaked like always after being closed. It sure needed to be repaired, but that meant time and money. Sasuke couldn't afford them right now, he was losing track on this Haruno case. How did she die, and by who's hand? Did she have anyone that he could talk to about her sudden and unexpected death? Other questions remain unanswered as well, such as Haruno's sanity and her hidden messages in her diaries.
Sasuke was already lost, and now this problem appears. Ashes? That meant someone burned something in her house. That could be a clue to her death.
He opened his black laptop and logged into his e mail. He wrote a very familliar adress to the 'to' part and sent the mail.

You trying to put all the blame on me? This is definitely not your style.

"Please, don't leave me!"
Sakura grabbed the boy's collar and tried to pull him closer but failed.
"I can't do anything without you!"
The boy shook his head trying not to turn so he wouldn't see her face. He knew that if he turned now there would be no going back. He needed her like she needed him. He vowed to his new friend that he wouldn't let her stay in his life, though - he was destroying it! He wanted a new, normal life without her.
So he kept his cold expression in his face, trying not to give up.
"He is playing with you!" she cried,"I don't know what lies he told you about me but I promise, they are all wrong!"
The boy suddenly got angry when the girl shouted those words. "So you say that my friend is a liar?! You think you're innocent? I know what he is trying to do and you know what? It works perfectly! I can give up some useless things if I can win more. So don't get in my way Sakura."
She started to cry, again. He was sick of her crying - it made him feel bad. He knew that all his friend wanted was his girlfriend and she knew it too.
He continued to walk away and this time she didn't stop him. She had enough. She was sick of seeing his back with his beautiful long hair, she was through.

Why are you different when he is gone
Your voice is different, your name is different
You're nothing when he is gone
You're just a breeze on a tree
Barely rattling its branches
You are too weak to tear it down

You won't stand a chance against the Devil.

You never had.
