Another chapter, another day my loves. My aunt came and visited so I actually had a "packed" week, but now shes gone and back to writing some more :)
I'm actually reading a paranorm fic right now. It's a ItaSaku if you like those. It's called: Things That Go Bump In The Night by PaigeyD93. So far it's good.
Oh yeah! And if you like dramas (...) there's this Korean remake of a Vit one, it's so good so far its called: Fated To Love You(you are my destiny). It's actually really good because it's genuine and the humor's so classic.

Anyways, enjoy guys :D

Walking up to roof made me nervous and left me terrified. I was so scared I didn't even realize Sasori-san glancing over his shoulder before opening the door halfway.

Looking at his shoes I saw him stop short before exiting the building.

" You are okay." He stated more than asked but I caught the hit of question.

I pulled up my head and noticed him not looking at me.

" Yeah." I said feeling a little bit better.

I could see the view of the rooftop, the ' Do Not Enter' yellow police tape that marked off the area made my last moments on this rooftop flood my head.

For a second I thought I saw Ino flying off the roof again. I was about to run over and reach out for her, but then stopped myself in half step. I stood wide eyed looking out at the clearing.

It took me a minute to realize Sasori-san was calling out to me, by now, though, he was faintly irritated.

" Haruno-san." He stated firmly. I blinked and looked up. He stood towards me, one hand in his pocket, the other sitting lazily next to him, and red hair blowing wildly.

My face puckered a bit with a blush adorning it. I tried to look serious as I focused back.

" Yes?"

" I don't sense anything." He stated.

I just stared at him.

' What?'

" What?" I asked a bit confused. He turned around and looked out.

" I don't feel a malicious presence or one at all for that matter."

If he didn't sense these spirits then what does that mean? Does that mean I'm guilty? Nobody believes me now anyway. I was the only one up here with Ino, no one else was here. Of course, anyone would look at and think I had something to do with her death. I don't blame anyone for believing that, but it still doesn't change the fact that I was mad about it.

" What…does that mean?" I asked. I could feel my voice quiver a bit, I secretly hoped he didn't hear it.

" It could mean a multitude of things. For one, a poltergeist."

" Noisy ghost…" I whispered to myself.

" Yes," he turned his head to the side a bit.

' He could hear me?' I thought amazed and a bit perplexed.

" Do you know what that is?"

I nodded even though I knew he couldn't see me." Yes, but only a bit."

" A poltergeist are physical disturbances caused by humans, not spirits. It's mainly caused from conflicting and pent up emotions from the agent. Most poltergeists' are mainly from females during the age of puberty, usually 12-16, not many come from older women, and if they do it's mainly from marriageable issues and such. But… it would be nearly impossible for an agent to have that much power and bottled up emotions to mentally push someone without an object, even if it is intentional or not. But, sense there is still a possibility, though low, it's still a possible conclusion."

" But mostly impossible…" I spoke.

" Yes."

' But if there was a poltergeist then who would be the person responsible?'

I almost gasped.

' That would be…me? Nonono, that would be- but-?'

I swallowed.

" Who-who do you think would've created one?" I asked dreading the answer I knew was sure to come.

" It's plainly obvious, Haruno-san. That was a ridiculous question to ask." He stated tonelessly.

I glared at the ground. Even though what he said was true it didn't change that it hurt. If this was true then I really did kill Ino. I may not of physically pushed her off… but I might as well of. I really was a horrible friend.

" Of course there are other options. There's a higher possibility of it being a entity but, as I said before I don't sense anything. It could be that it's hiding itself if there is one, or one could have been attached to Yamanaka-san for some reason."

For some reason I got really angry after he started talking, as if what he said had no impact on me at all. Here I am, a single, unemployed, hard working, full time college student talking about ghosts.

It was ridiculous on so many levels. I'm a very rational thinker, a scientific one at that. I don't believe in childish things like this, but here I am. I have to believe this, because if I don't my life will crumble. If he couldn't find anything then that would hold me responsible for Ino's death. I'm not strong. I had to grasp onto anything I could to save myself. I had a sense of hope an hour ago, now I had nothing. I was being an idiot for believing in any of this for one second.

' What's wrong with you, Sakura?' I seethed to myself.

" Stop." I cut in before he could say anything.

" What?" He said lazily. That damned voice, so uncaring and passive. I found myself hating it the more I thought about.

" Why? Why did this have to happen to me?!" I cried out," Why did Ino have to be on top of that roof? Why did I have to be up here with her? Why did she have to die?! Why doesn't anyone believe me?" I asked desperately. I wasn't expecting an answer, I was just finally having my moment of self pity.

My eyes stared at his back daring him to move or for him to even make a sound.

" You're being fatuous." He spoke.

I was taken back that he had actually said something, but then it registered what exactly he had said.

" Fatuous? No! What's ridiculous is this! I can't believe I actually believed in this, believed that I actually had some sort of chance! Coming here was stupid, following you was absurd. Ghost, spirits-or whatever you want to call them Don't. Exist!" I could see his head move a bit more to the side so he could look at me. I made contact with his eye and glared hard." You think anyone would've believed you anyway if you said you found something in the first place? No, I'm labeled a criminal already! You're just a phony whose looking for attention! Well, I've got news for you, you may have convinced people in the past of your cunning lies, but not me." By the time I was done I was breathing hard.

It took me a couple of minutes to get my emotions under control and by the time I looked up again Sasori-san wasn't looking at me. I didn't care. He was still a jerk as far as I was concerned. Standing there I tried to clear and sort through all of these new thoughts that came boring in after my monologue until I spotted in the corner of my eye Sasori-san turning around. I froze. I didn't know if he was mad. If he was he made a pretty good job of concealing it. He had his head down so the read hair swept across his forehead drowned out his eyes from my view. Making his way towards me I felt my heart beat against my chest. I wasn't exactly sure why I was feeling nervous though.

Walking past me he spoke softy, but I could feel the coldness in my voice making me shiver.

" Don't ever speak of such foolishness in front of me again." I flinched as his words bit into me.

I just stood there as he went for the door. I heard his stop short for a minute before talking.

" Let's go." He said, any traces of emotion from just a few seconds ago were gone. My face fell a bit after hearing his toneless voice.

Turning around I quietly followed him into the building.

Walking down the school halls was…awkward and very uncomfortable. There was this invisible tension between the two of us. I really didn't want to try to break it and look like a fool and I knew Sasori-san wasn't going to attempt to do it at all.

Due to all of this great silence I got to go back and think about the rooftop. I felt very ashamed and guilty to say the least. I basically insulted the guy who was only doing his job and trying to help me. But I exploded at him instead of thanking him.

I was being inconsiderate back there and I felt humiliated, though I only brought that on myself. I shouldn't have said that to him and now I needed to apologize, but I was scared. He really sounded angry back there at that one point and I didn't want to have to experience that again. It made me feel really strange inside and I didn't like that feeling all to well.

After more minutes of talking myself in then out of starting up a conversation I decided to say something before I could convince myself out again.

" Sasori-san!" He stopped for a moment then started walking. I too had stopped in surprise at myself for actually shouting out his name in public. Jogging up to him in got in step next to him.

" Look, umm," I looked off to the side and bit my lip then looked straight ahead," back there, I-I'm very sorry, I shouldn't have yelled at you back there…" I was met with silence. I glanced at him and found himself looking at the ground as he walked." Sorry I called you a phony…" Still nothing.

" It's fine." He spoke suddenly, I looked at him again but found him looking ahead this time. I smiled at him.

' Good, no more awkward silence.'

" So, umm…what um-what were the other conclusions?" I asked a bit too meekly for my liking. I cursed at myself as I spotted a girl turning the corner and heading our way, a guy trailing behind her.

" Hey..?" I asked Sasori-san still not getting an answer.

" W-wait up Karin!" I heard the guy call out "quietly" to the brown haired girl. She didn't stop in her tracks. I didn't pay any mind to them, but Sasori-san did.

The male reached out to grab the girls shoulder but before he could she turned around and slapped his arm away.

" Do not. Touch. Me. Don't ever talk to me again, got it Chan?" She spoke hatefully. Hurt flashed through Chan's eyes as she turned to walk away. He just stood there as Karin started to get closer and closer to us. All of a sudden Chan ran after her to pester her again (I'm guessing anyway).

" Karin, wait!" He shouted as she floated past up with a little stomp to her step.

I didn't see the way Sasori-san looked at her as she brushed past him.

Shortly after Karin passed so did Chan.

" Wait!"

Right after he passed us Sasori-san stopped and turned around.

" Sasori-san?" I asked.

' What's with him?'

" Hey…what's wrong?" I whisper-talked. For some reason I felt as if I shouldn't be talking out loud.

Nothing…again. I was really starting to get annoyed with the I'm-just-not-gonna-talk-to-you-and-ignore-you attitude.

" Hey!" This time I spoke a little louder, he paid no mind to it though and waltzed right past me. Hands in his pockets, looking straight ahead, not once did he speak or glance in my direction.

" You!" I stomped right up to his side. " What's with you, huh? First the silent treatment and now ignoring me? Didn't anyone teach you it's rude to ignore your Sempai, Sasori-kohai?" I snared a bit. He just looked at me and I swore I saw a bit of mirth in that one eye, but he turned his head before I could make sure.

" I'm 22." He stated simply.

I stopped walking and watched him stroll right in front of me with my mouth agape.

' Twenty-two?…He's what? But… in the car he-'

" What!" I seethed.

Kohai- a term for lower aged/educated people; the way Sakura said it is meant to be rude since kohai's are suppose to respect thier sempai's(olders).
She thinks Sasori is younger than her.

My babyfaced love n_n
