The following trilogy of chapters may be controversial, so I felt like posting a new chapter every 2 days for this week. Just let me cook, it'll be good.

"You should have seen the look of her face! Man, I wish I recorded that! Haha." Deidara grabbed his sides and Sasori just swished around the alcohol in his cup with a smile. The pair sat at the same bar as people conversed around them and enjoyed the night.

"Good for you, what do you plan on doing from here?"

"I'll be in a good mood from that for the next week at least. Maybe I might go for the bird-brain next, but I'm not too concerned right now. How's your preparations going?"

"The immortal duo is in town. Kakazu is as stingy as always, but they'll be hanging around for a while."

"So that dumbass Hidan will be here? Shame."

"That dumbass in question could be a great help, but let's just enjoy the night," Sasori raised his glass, and Deidara returned the gesture.

"Can't argue with that.”

The morning after the tragedy, it was raining with some light fog. Making the dreary atmosphere of the burnt home even worse. Multiple police vans were parked out front and yellow tape was set up for the crime scene.

"This is... just awful... immediately after the School Festival too," an officer grimaced. His name tag read Tsukiyama.

Tsukiyama leaned on one of the vans with Tsukauchi, who nodded, "Yeah, the kid of the parents still hasn't been found either."

Tsukiyama reeled back, "None of the bodies matched that UA student. Do you think that she might have been kidnapped?"

He shook his head, looking down, "No, the neighbors saw her out here crying after it happened."

Tsukiyama's mouth tensed, "I've always hated cases like these..."

"You and me both."

"Did UA say anything about how they'll respond to this?"

Tsukauchi sipped some coffee, "They haven't done much but put their students in lockdown. None of us know if this is an attack directed at UA or not yet. All we know is that her parent's home was bombed coincidentally around when she got there if her neighbors are to be believed. If I was to put in my two cents, this seems way too personal to be a UA targeted attack, but they're just being safe in this case."

“We don't have any other evidence to go off besides what some neighbors said?”

“There are some tire marks from a motorcycle and clay, but it can only take us so far.”

The two officers eyed a raven-haired teen who trudged into the crime scene. Tsukiyama stood up straight, "What is this kid doing?"

Tsukauchi put his hand on his chest, "Wait. I recognize him. This is one of UA's students. I'll take care of this."

Sasuke slowly took in the horrid scenery in silence. His eyes glazed over when he stared into the obliterated home. He remembered the worst night of his life and clenched his fist, 'I've never wanted you to share the same pain...'

He stared down at a labeled piece of evidence. It was the Teflon block Mina once trained with. Although it was melted through with 5 divots in it matching the shape of a hand.

Not far away from it was a small, familiar white blob. It almost looked like clay. His hair overshadowed his eyes as a man walked up behind him, "Sasuke, right? Can I ask you some things?"

Sasuke didn't avert his gaze. His voice was rough, "What do you want?"

Tsukauchi paused, "I was curious if you knew anything about Mina's whereabouts?"
