ToRn Chapter 5: Sinner

Neither patient waiting in the morning
Nor the fresh dead the grave.
Not even devil waiting the sin
Is as much as me waiting for you.

A girl with a petite body waiting. For what? For her end to come. Why? Because her time is near. When? Soon. Soon enough she will be dead but no one will ever care for her. Why should they? She was a sinner from the beginning - a sinner. What's that? What has she done? She killed someone. Really? Yes, I'm quite certain. You sure? It's what others say. Then is that why she is waiting? I don't know. How? How can you not know? Every sinner waits for something, right? Right. So she must be waiting for that thing too. But what? A train. Yes, a train. What train? The train which will take her to the other world where she will be united with the other sinners. But isn't she too young? Is she? Yes, she is. But there is always a punishment in the end, right? Didn't you know? I didn't. Well, now you'll know. Will I be punished as well? Why did you ask? If you didn't do anything you won't. But I did. What have you done? I took away that girl's heart along with her lover...

Sin•ner
A person who transgresses against divine law by commiting an immortal act or acts.

"What's your name boy?"
"Sasuke Uchiha."
"Why do you want to be a detective? Is there any special reason?"
"Yes, sir."
"What is it?"
"It's something I cannot tell sir. It's classified."
"That's alright boy."
"Anything else, sir?"
"Do you have a companion, boy?"
"Yes, sir."
"Does he wish to work with you?"
"If I ask, yes sir."
"Then bring him with you."
"As you wish sir."
"And tell him that from now on you two will be training to become my best investigators."
"I'm honored sir."
"You should be."
"Yes, sir."
"Before you go, is there someone you love boy?"
"Yes, sir."
"Is she important to you?"
"She is my life."
"Then will you sacrifice anything for her?"
"Absolutely, anything, if it's necesarry."
"Even if she doesn't deserve it boy?"
"Trust me, she deserves more."
"Even if she doen't love you?"
"She will learn, sir."
"I'm sure about it. One last thing. What would you do if-"

Some people think that money is the only thing they cannot obtain enough of in life. If they ever tried to put themselves in my position, they would understand that money is nothing.
Do you know what I cannot afford? I can't afford to lose him - my love along with my sanity. I started to see things people couldn't see and hear things others couldn't hear. Most importantly, I felt things no other human being had ever felt: The desire to die. The only place I could be with him was hell, so I wanted to go there too.

Haruno's Diary: Part One
A Friday night spent watching ghost movies or reading spooky stories may seem like a fun way to pass your time. Go for it! Go ahead and get a little spooked and a little creeped-out, then go to sleep and carry on with your life.
I used to have fun doing that, until I found out that those whispy little creatures in those spooky little stories WERE ACTUALLY REAL.
That was when my life changed.
It all began the day I went to college...
I have a boyfriend. His name is –

"What would you do if your companion killed your dear lover, and you knew it?"
"I would make sure the case is mine. "
"Why? Wouldn't you turn him in to the cops?"
"No."
"What? Why?"
"Because... He is her real lover who I took away."

Haruno's Diary: Part Two
I have a boyfriend named Neji. And God, he is unbelievably handsome. I would kill anyone who would ever dare to touch, let alone hurt him. I don't even like other boys talking to him, but he doesn't care when I'm like that. At least, that's how he USED to be.
Yes, the important thing here is 'used to'. Let me tell you about the part before when he started to care and complain about it.
We used to be really happy, and when I say happy it's not the lovely dovey thing other couples do; we were like pieces of a heart. I thought that, until said heart broke in two. Me and him. I was wrong; it was three from the begining. It was me who couldn't see it.
There was a boy. A transfer student, I guess. I never saw him in my classes in the canteen. Even if I saw him, he really didn't matter to me - until that day.
I was waiting for my beloved Neji to take me home on a rainy day. I was really happy that I wasn't one of those other girls who didn't have anyone else who would protect them from the rain. I was lucky enough to have one.
I waited for neary half an hour but Neji never came. Instead that new boy came. He told me that Neji had forgotten me but he would fill his place and take me home. I was desperate that day, although I wish I wasn't. I gladly accepted his offer of taking me home, not minding that stupid talk of his. If I had paid more attention to him, things wouldn't have happened that I now cannot remember without a cringe upon my face. It was my damn fault, all from the beginning.

-The day when the new boy took Sakura to her home-

"You have a nice hair color."
"Thanks."
"And nice eyes."
"...Yeah." Sakura turned around, facing the other direction and crossed her arms over her chest.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," she muttered, annoyed. When will he go home?!
"You sure? You don't look good," the boy persisted.
"I said I was fine!" Sakura snapped, turning to face him.
"Okay, okay. Just asking," he relented.

"Thanks for the ride, by the way. "
"Hn."
"I'm really glad that you've found me."

"..."
"It doesn't feel too good when you're stood up, right?"
"What?"
"I mean, he knew that you were waiting."
"Maybe."
"Maybe? Are you ** me? He is supposed to be your boyfriend!"
"So what?"
"I wouldn't do that."
"And your point in here is..?"
"Take revenge."
"How?"
"I'll help you."
"Again, how?"
"Do you guys have some secret communication stuff or something?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I have a great plan then..."

I told him everything that he wanted, every secret that only we knew. I thought he was going to help me, but little by little he used those secrets to lure Neji into his world and leave me alone to himself. I didn't know that. At least, I didn't expect him to do that - he was more clever than I thought. He used everything to have me, and without even noticing I was falling for him.

"So this little game of yours is called what?"
"I don't know. I never named it."
"Than I shall name it: The Devil."
"It sounds nice."
"Tell me again, why are you two playing it?"
"It's like we're trying to scare each other, you know. Accusing each other from things we haven't done, and see who gives up first."
"Wow, that's. . .weird."
"I know, but it's fun."
"Then he tries to make you believe in things like ghosts?"
"Yeah, because he knows that I'm not scared of them. How can I be when I don't even see them? It just bullsh*t. "
"I guess so."
"And I'm trying to make him feel guilty."
"That's much better."
"Sorry to tell this, but it's only two player game."
"No that's fine."
"So, will you help me?"
"Sure, no problem."

From: Sakura
To: Devil
I heard about a girl who went back to her dorm room late one night to get her books before heading to her boyfriend's room for the night. She entered but did not turn on the light, knowing that her roommate was sleeping. She stumbled around the room in the dark for several minutes, gathering books, clothes, her toothbrush, and other necessities before finally leaving.
The next day, she came back to her room to find it surrounded by police. They asked if she lived there and she said yes. They took her into her room, and there, written in blood on the wall, were the words, "Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the light?" Her roommate was being murdered while she was getting her things. Isn't this story familiar to what happened to Tenten? It may sound even more familiar than you think it would, because I think you are the one who really went in the girl's dorm that day.

"Why did you take her away from her lover, boy? Didn't she meant the world you? If you loved her, then you should have set her free."

"You do not understand, sir. If it wasn't for me, she wouldn't have achieved her goal. I helped her, and this is her price to pay. "

"What have you done to make her dreams come true?"

"I made him feel guilty more than ever by making him trust me."

Scary stories, horror movies, urban legends, dark histories. . . What do you think it all refers to? Do you think they are just myths that people make up? Did they all start with Satan or were we the cause of them? Was mythos an untrue tall tale that had an underlying deep truth, or was it just something that came out of your mouth? What will you believe? Which will be your reality?

When you learn the truth, you will choose a side. Will you be next to me, or will you be deep inside. . . on a whole new level? That is when you understand everything.

It was never a legend to begin with

.

It was just a memory for you to understand

.

You don't know the kleos I'm talking about

.

But you will know when the time is right

.

Because your telos is near

.

There was never an evil, just a Devil

.

We were all ToRn

.

When we nostos

.

.

A/N: Before saying anything about this chapter I will tell you the meaning of those few words in the last poemish thing.

Kleos means glory

Nostos means a return or homecoming

Telos means final moment or full circle.

If you have read Greek Mythology you must have used these words in Achillies' resolve. There is a part in there that also tells us what myth is, in my opinion.

Okay, now we begin.

Hello my dear readers. It's really sad for me to tell you that I only have one last chapter before the epilogue. So tune up for the end. I hope all of you have enjoyed this really complex chapter. If any of you have a question (I think all of you have at least one) you can ask it in the review part and I'll gladly answer it. I think most of you will understand it in the next chapter.

When I read the first chapter it seemed like this was supernatural so I tried to stay on that but I failed to continue it. Sorry everyone.

If any of you didn't understand the dialogue, it was Sasuke with the Chief.

And sorry for this late one. 1TwinkleToes has beta read the other chapters so if you want you can read them one one time. I want to thank her for her brilliant work in every chapter.

Did anyone understand the Diary Part 1 and 2? In the second or third chapter that part in the diary was torn so we see the other half here.

If you want the next chapter to come more quickly, then review :3

Thanks,
