Chapter 50: Not So Happy Birthday

"Rudy. Rudy! Come on. It's too hot to make me come looking for you," a young lady went running out after her dog. She turned around and jumped back slightly, startled by the man that appeared out of thin air.

"I am so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you," Klaus smirked.

"Can I help you?" she asked nervously.

"Yeah, my, uh, my car ran out of gas a couple miles back. I feel like I've been walking forever. Yours is the first house I'd come to, so I was just hoping I could use your phone," he tried to act harmless.

"Don't you have a cell phone?" she asked, figuring everyone nowadays did.

"Heh. Yeah, the battery died. Look, I promise I'm not a serial killer. I just want to use your phone," Klaus prodded her.

"Sure," she agreed hesitantly.

"So...I can come in?" Klaus smiled.

"No. I'll get the phone and I'll bring it out to you," she said, knowing better than to invite strangers in.

"I thought you country folks were supposed to be more trusting," Klaus commented, being in Tennessee now.

"I'm from Florida," she spat.

"Well, that explains it," Klaus half-laughed. He grabbed hold of her neck and strangled her. "Now show me a little Southern hospitality... Sweet pea," he cackled and she did as she was told.

There was another girl in the kitchen. "I bet you a hundred dollars that dog ran off to a house with air conditioning," she laughed, barely able to stand the heat. The girl walked into the kitchen with Klaus. "What's going on?" she freaked out. There was no way she would just let a stranger into their house.

"Please don't be alarmed. I'm told Ray Sutton lives here," Klaus stated.

"He's almost never here. He's on the road mostly," she explained.

"But I expect he makes it home... Once a month," Klaus commented. When she didn't reply, he smirked, "That's what I thought. Where is he now?" She didn't answer him. "If I have to make you tell me, it's going to be infinitely more painful for you," he threatened her. He smiled at her and the girl made a break for it. She ran to the front door, but Stefan was blocking her. Klaus followed her over slowly, with the other girl, "I love it when they run."

"He's in Tulley. It's near the border. A bar called Southern Comfort. It's off Highway 41," the second girl gave up the information.

"Thank you, my love. Now..." Klaus looked at the first girl, "May my friend come in your home?"

"Yes," she replied.

"Kill this one quickly," Klaus shoved the first girl, with blonde hair at him. "Make that one suffer. I'll be in the car," Klaus smiled as he walked by. "Come along Fenrir," he said as he passed her, she had been waiting on the lawn.

"You know, I've grown attached to the name Sakura. Why not just call me that," she walked instep beside him.

"Sakura it is then, love," he smiled. "I think I agree with you though," he looked at her with his tilted to the side, "I like the name Sakura better as well." They could hear the girls scream behind them. Klaus smiled, happy with the outcome.

"How could she leave like that?" Leilani cried as she sat on Elena's couch. It had been a couple of months, but every once in a while Leilani broke down.

"I'm sorry Leilani, I don't know what to say. It all happened so fast. Katherine would only give Damon the cure if Sakura went to Klaus. If it was up to Damon, he'd rather die. But Sakura didn't give it a second thought. When he tried to stop her, she just phased through the floor," Elena explained. "Is that?" Elena pointed at the phoenix necklace Leilani was wearing.

"Yeah, she apparently saw me before leaving, but didn't have the courtesy to wake me up. She left this for me though," Leilani held it in her hand, "This was from her brother you know."

"Yeah, where is he though. Maybe he could have stopped her," Elena complained.

"It's Sakura, not likely. Nobody would be able to stop her. She'll do whatever she wants, regardless," Leilani sobbed.

"We'll get her and Stefan back, somehow, someway," Elena pulled Leilani into a hug. The phone rang, Elena picked up, "Matt? Yeah, I'll get him." Elena hung up and headed upstairs to tell Jeremy to go to work.

"Sakura..." Leilani pulled out her phone and stared at her number. Hesitantly, she hit the button to dial. She could hear the phone ringing and really didn't expect anyone to answer.

"Well hello lovely," Sakura answered.

"Sakura?" Leilani gasped.

"You called me right?"

"Well, yeah," Leilani could feel a coldness coming from her.

"I mean, you could call me Fenrir if it confuses you too much. But really, Sakura is fine," she continued on nonchalantly. Leilani could hear girls screaming in the background. "Anyways, no time to chat," she hung up on Leilani.

Leilani stayed on the phone, baffled, listening to the beep of the closed line.

"Leilani?" Elena had come back down, "What's going on?" Leilani's hand dropped, dropping the phone in the process. Elena picked it up and saw that she had called Sakura. "Leilani..." Elena trailed off.

"I guess there really is no getting Sakura back. That was the Fenrir that answered. There were screams in the background," Leilani explained, "Sakura isn't there anymore. I couldn't feel her in there at all."

Elena's phone rang and it was Caroline, "What are you doing?" Elena started to pace back and forth in front of Leilani, "I never said yes in the first place. Did she find something?" Leilani's eyes lite up. "And you're sure it's a vampire? Doesn't mean it's not. I'll call her. Tell her, thank you for her help. Oh, Caroline, wait. Just... Keep tonight small. Please," Elena hung up.

"Was that, uh, Stefan news?" Alaric asked, coming over to them from the kitchen. He set tea down in front of Leilani and she gave him a small smile as thanks.

"Could be more Klaus victims," Elena replied.

"Are you certain Stefan's still with him?" Alaric questioned her.

"Easy to be certain when the alternative is that he's dead. Are you sure you're still ok on the couch?" Elena asked, Alaric had been staying there recently.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm good," he assured her.

"Because you spent half the summer on it. If you need your own bedroom..." Elena trailed off, thinking about Jenna.

"And sleep in your dead parents' room or my dead girlfriend's room..." Alaric didn't like that idea.

"Always my empty house," Leilani half sobbed, taking another sip of tea.

"Right," Elena handed him a mug with coffee and a hug.

"Hey, Elena... Happy Birthday," Alaric tried to smile.

"Thanks," Elena didn't even really want to think about it.

"Oh yeah, sorry I'm a little out of it. Happy Birthday Elena," Leilani pulled a small box out of her purse and handed it to Elena. "It's not much..." Leilani trialed off.

Elena took the box and opened it. It was a pair of diamond earrings. "I love it, thank you," Elena hugged her.

"It's from Sakura too by the way. We picked it out together, a while ago," Leilani wiped her eyes.

"Come with me, you need a distraction," Elena pulled Leilani along.

They headed to the Salvatore house. They went into the living room. "Mornin'," Damon popped up behind them. They turned to find that he was half naked.

"Hey, I was going..." Elena trailed off when she saw him and looked away.

Leilani stared at him, still half in a daze.

"You heard us. You knew that we were here," Elena complained.

"You know, you should learn to knock. What if I was... indecent?" Damon smirked. His smirk disappeared when he noticed the necklace Leilani was wearing. He hadn't seen her since the incident. "Is that?" Damon half reached out.

"Yeah," Leilani nodded, holding onto it with one hand. "Is that her..." Leilani trailed off and pointed at the ring on his finger.

"Not the exact one, she actually made me one," Damon half laughed.

"Sheriff Forbe gave us another location to check. Memphis," Elena interrupted them.

"Another dead end, you mean?" Damon scoffed.

"You don't know that," Elena argued.

"You're right, Elena. This could be the one," Damon mocked her, "After almost two months, this could be the clue that tells us Stefan and Sakura are alive and well and living in Graceland."

"Sakura is alive," Leilani said with certainty, "Her body is anyways."

"Wait what? What did you hear?" Damon was instantly in front of her, grabbing hold of her shoulders.

"I called her, she picked up. It was the Fenrir, not her though," Leilani looked down sadly.

"Calling worked?" Damon was baffled.

"You never tried?" Elena mocked him.

"Why would I expect her to answer? For all we know, it was a one time deal and she just felt like throwing salt in our wounds," Damon spat. He vanished for a couple seconds, reappearing with his phone up to his head.

"Hello lover boy," she answered.

"Sakura?" he felt his heart sink. Elena and Leilani looked at each other dumbfounded. Why would she answer again? Wouldn't Klaus be keeping tabs on her?

"Why does everyone call and then ask if it's me. No duh, you called me," she growled.

"Fenrir, Leilani was right," Damon sighed.

"Well I still go by Sakura, I'm just not 'your' Sakura," she commented.

"I beg to differ. I bet 'my' Sakura is still in there and you have to fight her off. There's no way she'd back down easily. It's probably the only reason you answered the phone," he spat.

"Well I'm bored," she laughed. "You could always join in the fun you know," she taunted him.

"She'll come back to us, to me," Damon grit his teeth.

"Think what you want lover boy, she's gone," she hung up.

"She's in there, she has to be," Damon set his phone down.

"Let's go Leilani, without him," Elena took her hand and pulled her towards the front door.

"And let Klaus know that you're tracking him? He thinks you're dead. Let's keep it that way," Damon argued.

"It's a new lead, Damon. We haven't had one in a while," Elena sighed.

"Ok. I'll check it out. If I find anything, I'll call you," Damon's interest was piqued by his call with Sakura.

"But..." Elena was about to argue when he vanished.

Leilani went up to his room, figuring that's where he went. She burst in, not letting him have a chance to run. Damon was looking in his closet full of boxes, with map on it. "They moved on to Tennessee," Damon was talking to himself. He glanced back at Leilani with a smirk, "You up for a road trip?"

"What's up, Ray?" the bartender asked him.

"Hey, Red. Can I get a beer?" he asked.

"Ray? Ray Sutton?" Klaus asked, sitting down beside him.

"Who wants to know?" he asked, glancing at him.

"I've been looking everywhere for you. We started in Florida, Pensacola. I met a young chap there who you worked with you before you moved to Memphis. Now he directed me to two lovely young women. And they led me here," Klaus explained honestly.

"I think I'll be going," Ray went to get up and Klaus stopped him.

"Not so fast, mate. You only just got here. Now your type are very hard to come by," Klaus smirked.

He tried to leave again, only to be stopped by Stefan, "I wouldn't do that." Stefan pushed him.

"Vampires," Ray hissed.

"You're swifty swift, Ray. Yes, my friend here is a vampire. He's compelled everyone in the bar, so don't look to them for any help. I, however... I'm something else. A different kind of monster. I've got some vampire, I've got some wolf," Klaus explained.

"A...what?" Ray panicked.

"A hybrid, Ray. I'm both. You see, I want to create more of me. Now, you being the first werewolf I've come across in many a moon, pun intended, Ray, heh, I need you to direct me to your pack. So... Where can I find them, Ray?" Klaus asked, as politely as he could muster.

"You can't compel me, it won't work," Ray stuttered.

"I need a scotch on the rocks, please," Stefan asked the bartender.

"Get something for me too, would ya, I'm parched. Orange juice and vodka actually," Sakura complained as she wandered around the bar.

"I wouldn't mess with her either, just a warning," Klaus smirked. The bartender set up Sakura's drink and Klaus handed it to her as she pranced by him.

Stefan had a bag in his hand and pulled wolfsbane out of it, "Ahem. Tell you what, Ray. We're going to play a little drinking game. Something I like to call truth or wolfsbane."

"Oh, this is going to be fun, Ray," Klaus laughed.

Damon, Alaric and Leilani arrived in at the house in Tennessee that Stefan and Sakura were in earlier. Damon's phone rang, and after looking to see who it was, he ignored it.

"Elena? I don't know why you just don't come clean and tell her where we are," Alaric suggested.

"Cause it's only a half-lead. He doesn't want to get her hopes up," Leilani answered for him. Damon glanced back her with a raised eyebrow, surprised she figured it out.

"Yeah, well, they're all half-leads, and I don't want to get called your accomplice. What do you want me to say to her? I'm practically living there," Alaric complained.

"Still sleeping on the couch?" Damon inquired.

"You know, I keep waiting for them to kick me out, but they don't. I don't know why. It's not like I'm helping or anything," Alaric sighed.

"You don't get it," Leilani sighed, "Just your presence is comforting. It's nice to know there's someone there, who cares."

"Leilani I..." Alaric didn't know what to say. He looked around, "It's quiet."

"Yeah. Too quiet," Damon frowned.

They entered the house and found blood everywhere. They walked further in and there were two dead girls. "Oh my god," Leilani cried out. Damon pulled Leilani into him, comforting her, while stopping her from looking any more.

"Vampire for sure," Alaric cringed.

"Stefan for sure," Damon frowned.

"How do you know?" Alaric asked.

"It's his signature. There is a reason they called him the ripper. He feeds so hard he blacks out, rips them apart, but then when he's done, he feels remorse. It's the damnedest thing. He puts the bodies back together," he could feel Leilani cringe as she kept her face against him. Damon touched the blonde girl with his foot and her head fell off, "Definitely Stefan."

"Maybe we shouldn't have brought Leilani," Alaric worried. Damon handed her off to him. He went outside and came back in with a canister of gasoline. He started to pour it on the girls, "What are you doing?"

"Covering their tracks. Clearly they have no interest in staying in the dark. But I do," Damon grumbled. Alaric took a step, "Hang on." Damon moved the rug aside and there was a trapdoor underneath. Damon opened it to see chains tied to the walls, "Well, what do you know? Werewolves." Damon closed the door before setting them on fire.

Ray was against the wall, bleeding, with darts all around him. Stefan stirred a dart in the wolfsbane and threw it at Ray. Ray screamed out in pain. Klaus smiled as he watched it play out.

"Ray, you can ended this right now. Just tell me where your pack gathers for the full moon," Stefan prodded him.

"I can't," Ray gasped.

"I know, I know, you live by a code and all that. But see, he's not going to let me stop until you tell me and I do whatever he says. That's the way it goes around here," Stefan explained.

A girl joined Klaus at the bar and whispered into his ear, "Hello Mr. Klaus. I have some information for you. He told me to tell you that he saw that guy's brother Damon at the farmhouse."

"Well, thank you, Claudine. You just tell your friends to keep up the good work with the neighborhood watch, huh?" Klaus smiled.

"My turn," Sakura picked up a dart and dipped it in the glass of wolfsbane.

Stefan heard Ray scream as he walked up to Klaus. "My brother's still on our trail?" Stefan asked him.

"He's getting closer. I'm going to have to deal with that," Klaus frowned.

"No, no, no. Let me handle it," Stefan worried what he might do.

"Why should I let you leave?" Klaus still didn't trust him.

"'Cause you know I'll come back," Stefan stated.

"Do I?" Klaus pondered.

"You saved my brother's life. I'm in your service," Stefan didn't falter.

"Oh, that almost sounds, sounds so tedious and indentured. Aren't you even having the least bit of fun?" Klaus sounded disappointed.

"I'll make sure that my brother doesn't bother us anymore," Stefan assured him.

"Sakura, dear?" Klaus called her over. She quickly threw another dart at Ray, before coming over. "Keep an eye on Stefan, would you?" he smiled.

"Sure thing," Sakura smiled at Stefan.

Elena and Leilani were getting ready for the party Caroline set up, in Stefan's room. Damon walked in on them. "Don't worry, I'm not going to lose it. At least not before the cake," Elena commented.

"It's your party, you can cry if you want to," Damon said as he looked at a picture of Elena and Stefan. "Ah, Stefan. Such a pack rat. I got you something. I know I promised not to buy you anything, so don't worry, I didn't pay for it," Damon smiled.

"You stole it?" Leilani freaked out.

"No. I found it," he corrected her. He pulled a small box out and opened it. Inside was the vervain necklace Stefan gave her.

"My necklace. I thought I'd never see it again," Elena gasped.

"Alaric found it in his loft. I figured you'd be happy to get it back," Damon scratched the back of his head.

"I am happy. Thank you," Elena smiled at him.

"You're welcome," Damon nodded and notice Leilani smiling at him.

"Here I'll," Leilani took the necklace from Elena and clasped it around her neck for her.

"Shall we?" Damon offered them each an arm. They accepted his arm and made their way downstairs. The house was packed, with people everywhere. Girls passed by them with a bottle of alcohol. "Ooh, hey, hey, hey. You don't want that," Damon compelled them as he took away the bottle. "You want the cheap young stuff over by the cheap young people," Damon told them. They left and Caroline showed up.

"You like?" Caroline asked, "Don't answer that..."

"This is "keeping it small"? What are they drinking?" Elena asked and got dragged away by Caroline.

"I need air," Leilani made her way outside and breathed in the fresh, cool air.

"It really happened, didn't it?" she heard a familiar voice from behind her, in the shadows.

"Darien..." Leilani cringed, "Yeah, the Fenrir took over."

"You know, it should have been me," Darien punched the house, breaking one of the bricks.

"What's done, is done. Now what's important, is getting her back," she turned to him with a determined look on her face.

"I'll do what I can, but Katherine doesn't want me here," Darien stated. Darien spotted the necklace, "She knew it was coming then."

"I guess so," Leilani sighed. "If you find something, let me know," Leilani turned away from him again.

"What are you doing out here and who you talking to?" Damon asked as he came out with Alaric.

"Um... Nothing, no one. Just fresh air!" Leilani said nervously.

"I am every parent's worst nightmare. I'm the chaperone teacher from hell," Alaric changed the subject.

"I love high school parties," Damon laughed. Elena walked outside, "Hello, birthday girl."

"Drink," Elena commanded and took his glass of scotch. She turned to Alaric, "Jeremy's smoking again."

"Is his stash any good?" Damon smirked.

"You're an ass," Elena rolled her eyes and turned back to Alaric, "Talk to him, please. He looks up to you."

Elena handed Damon his glass back and went inside. "You're screwed," Damon stated.

"Yeah. Uh-huh. Uh-huh... bye... uh-huh. Ok, I... I'm the last person here again. Dave, I'm work, please. Can we do this in the A.M.? I have a party I have to get to and you have got to get a life Ok, all right, bye, bye, bye," Andie hung up and entered one of the stages. A spotlight turned on, right in her face. "Hello? Not cool, my retinas are burning," she complained. She moved off to the side to get away from the light, but it followed her, "Ok, seriously? What... what the hell are you doing?" The spotlight turned off, "Hello? Hello?" She ran towards the exit. She tripped and fell to the floor. The spotlight turned on again, with someone standing on top of it. She gets up to escape and Stefan stopped her. "Oh, hi. Oh, Stefan. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What are you doing here? We have been looking everywhere for you! Stefan..." Stefan's face changed.

"Well the informant was easy to nab," Sakura said, disappointed.

"Andie wants me to pick her up," Damon stated.

"Your 'informant'?" Leilani put air quotes around it.

"No need for air quotes, that's what she really is. She's resourceful, lots of connections," Damon explained, "And I know what you're thinking and I'm not cheating on Sakura."

"Not that I think you would, but... Are you really going to say you're still with her?" Alaric questioned him.

"She's still mine," Damon growled, getting defensive.

"I'll go with you, I really don't feel like partying," Leilani sighed.

"Alright. Hold the fort down, would you?" Damon asked Alaric.

"You mean the fort full of my drunk history students?" Alaric sighed.

"Drink more. You'll feel less weird," Damon pat him on the shoulder.

They arrived at the WPKW9 building, where Andie called him to pick her up from. "Andie..." Damon figured she would be waiting. His phone rang and it was Elena, "Party central." Leilani raised an eyebrow at him, looking around for Andie. "I'm by the... Punch bowl," Damon lied, "Oh, oh, gotta go... Gotta go break up beer pong."

"Beer pong?" Leilani laughed at his excuse. "Where is she?" Leilani frowned.

Damon hung up, "Let's go inside."

"Right," Leilani kept looking around nervously as she followed him. "Hey, is this hers?" Leilani picked up a purse off the ground.

Damon turned to look around and Stefan appeared in front of him, "Stefan."

"Hello, brother," Stefan said, stealing Damon's line.

"You don't write. You don't call," Damon complained in a mocking voice.

"If you're here is..." Leilani looked around for Sakura.

"Need you to stop following me. Causing some problems," Stefan glared at him.

"With who, Klaus? I'm supposed to care what he thinks?" Damon spat.

"What you're supposed to do... Is let me go, let us go," Stefan said and Damon knew who he was talking about.

"Saw your latest artwork in Tennessee. Walking a fine line there, my friend. Keep that up and there will be no saving you," Damon shook his head.

"See, the thing is, I don't need any saving. I just want you to let me go," Stefan growled.

Leilani felt like someone else was watching. It felt like a shadow walked by her and then was up above them. "Someone else is here," Leilani whispered a warning.

Damon heard her, but kept his attention on Stefan. "Oh, I got a birthday girl at home who's not going to let me do that," he continued.

"You know, maybe I haven't made my point. Hey, Andie, you still there?" Stefan asked. Andie was upstairs, at the ledge.

"Andie?" Damon's eyes went wide.

"Damon? I can't move, Damon. He told me that I can't move," Andie cried out.

"No, no, no, it's ok, Andie, stay calm. Not cool, brother," Damon frowned.

"Oh, come on. It's a little bit cool, huh? Hey, Andie. You can move now," Stefan smirked.

"No! No, no, no, no, no!" Damon freaked out.

Andie hesitated. "You're taking too long," they saw a shadow appear behind Andie and pushed her off the edge. Andie hit the ground hard, dying on impact. "Opps," she came out of the shadows and they gasped.

"Sakura?!" Leilani and Damon exclaimed.

"Oh, hey friend and lover boy," she giggled.

"How could you?" Leilani was shaken up.

Damon rushed up to Stefan and held him up against the wall. "I said... Let me go," Stefan mumbled.

"Off him, lover boy," Sakura swayed her finger and Damon was pushed away. She walked up to Stefan and took his hand. "Time to go," she said in a sing-song voice as she pulled him away. "Bye-bye," she cheered, blowing Damon a kiss as she walked by. "Later, Leil-Lei," she said as she walked by Leilani, who was too stunned to move.

After Stefan and Sakura left, it took a while for Damon to compose himself. When he did, he rushed up to Andie.

Damon was leading Leilani into the house, a hold on her waist, not wanting her to pass out, when Caroline passed by, handing him a bottle on her way out. He led her upstairs and into Sakura's room. He left her sitting on Sakura's bed and turned to leave when she grabbed onto his shirt, not wanting to let go. "I'm headed to my room," Damon warned her.

"You're the next closest to Sakura, don't leave me alone tonight," Leilani stared at the floor as she spoke.

"Fine," Damon sighed, knowing Sakura would want him to take care of Leilani. They made their way to Damon's room. "What? What are you doing here?" Damon asked, finding Elena in his room.

"Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep it a secret?" Elena complained, referring to him tracking Stefan and Sakura.

"Can we not do this right now? We're having a really bad night," he pointed at the sighing Leilani, that still hadn't released him.

"All summer, every single time I came to you with a lead, you made me feel like an idiot for having hope," Elena glanced at Leilani and continued anyways.

"You were an idiot. We both were," Damon sighed and sat down on his bed.

"Tell me what you know, Damon," Elena commanded, "I'm sure Leilani will tell me eventually."

"I know you need to get back to your party, Elena," Damon growled.

"Don't fight," Leilani whispered.

"We're supposed to be in this together. Why didn't you tell me you've been tracking Klaus' victims?" Elena complained.

"Because they're not Klaus' victims, Elena, they're Stefan's!" Damon yelled.

"And Sakura's," Leilani added, thinking about Andie.

"What?" Elena was taken aback.

"He's left a trail of body parts up and down on the eastern seaboard," Damon elaborated.

"No. You're wrong," Elena shook her head.

"I've seen it happen before. He's flipped the switch, full blown ripper," Damon spat.

"He's telling the truth," Leilani could see a flashback of the two girls they found.

"Stop it," Elena cried out.

"No, you stop it, Elena! Stop looking for him. Stop waiting for him to come home. Just stop! Stefan is gone and he's not coming back. Not in your lifetime," Damon yelled. Leilani went rushing out of the room and Damon followed her.

"You really think that? Then all hope it lost? Sakura isn't coming back?" Leilani cried.

"That's not what I meant," Damon grit his teeth, "I can't have her chasing him though. And Sakura isn't Stefan. Sure she pushed Andie, but... She can come back, she has to."

Stefan and Sakura walked back into the bar. "What are you going to do now?" Ray asked Klaus.

"It's time for step two, Ray," Klaus snapped his neck.

"You're back," Klaus turned his attention to them.

"Did you doubt me?" Stefan questioned him.

"Not for a second. Although, she was there too. I knew you'd pass the test though. You still care for your brother, for your old life," Klaus smirked.

"I don't care about anything anymore," Stefan lied.

"You put on a good show, Stefan. I almost believe you. Let's hope, for your brother's sake, he does. You never stop caring about family, do you? But every time you feed, the blood makes it easier to let go," Klaus laughed.

"I need some air," Stefan walked outside.

"What do you think?" Klaus asked her.

"He cares still, but that makes him easier to control," Sakura had a point. "Think I'll go out for some air too," Sakura walked out of the bar to see Stefan turned the other way, with his phone in his hand. He closed it and put it in his pocket, but didn't turn to her. She walked up to him, and leaned to the side to look at his face. She could tell he wanted to cry, but was holding back. "Aw precious, don't cry," she said and he couldn't tell if she was mocking him or not. "It'll be alright," she wiped away the tear that fell. "Come on, I'm here for you," she hugged him. Not really having anyone else to help, he hugged her back, tightly. During his time with her, she had done some questionable things, as he had, but she never hurt him, she always seemed to help, whether he wanted it or not. Despite not really being Sakura, she was all he had to cling onto.

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed!
