"I own you so you're only mine and no one else. You will do anything I want you to do because I own you. If you don't abide me, then there's going to be consequences."
He owns you and you got no choice but to follow him because if you don't, there's...
"I'm sorry sweetheart but... your friend is dead. She was burnt alive inside her house. You and your friend Inojin was found outside her house, unconscious down the ground. I'm sorry Y/n but... Sumire is gone." He told you and you felt your eyes watering but you blink them away.

"I-I see..." You trailed off then made eye contact with your father. "Wait a minute, who found me and Inojin?"
"It was your friend Mitsuki. Apparently he was walking past by when he heard explosions so he went to check on it and saw you and Inojin down the ground. He immediately called an ambulance and he called me saying that you're here in the hospital." Your father answered and you remember the part before you went unconscious.
You saw Mitsuki behind a bush but you were unsure if that was really him or your imagination just playing with you. In the end, you decided that it was your imagination since your father said that he was walking past and saw the two of you so he couldn't have been in the bush.
Right now, you were thinking that you owe your life to Mitsuki for bringing you in the hospital. Not only you but also your friend Inojin. That is when you remembered about Inojin.
"What about Inojin? Where is he?" You ask your father.
"The damage he have wasn't that severe compared to yours so he was allowed to return home." He explained and you nod in understanding.
"I also have the results from your two friend's death and the Principal." You look up to your father as soon as he said that and your eyes told him to tell you more about it. "For the case of Inuzuka Kiba, he have a heart attack and died in an instant in front of the Ramen shop while your friend Rock Lee, I found a fingerprint on the wall and my work mate Hatake Kakashi is finding out who would match the fingerprint."
"And lastly for the Principal, he was stab on the chest more than ten times. We also found a fingerprint on the knife so we are now also finding out who it belongs to." Your father explained and you couldn't help but feel sad for them.
"Oh and by the way, for the death of Sumire, one of the lightbulb overheated causing the whole house to be in fire." He told you and you bowed your head down in sadness.
Reader's POV
"Can you... leave me for a moment please?" I ask my father and he sigh while nodding.
"Sure thing sweetheart. Please take care of yourself." He place a kiss on my forehead before he left the room.
After he was gone, tears started to build from my eyes and I started crying. The tears fell like a waterfall and I have to hold back my scream so no one will hear me. I pulled my hair in frustration as I blamed myself for getting another friend of my killed.
It's my fault, it's my fault, it's my fault, it's my fault!
I repeated those three words in my head over and over again.
It was my fault, if it weren't for me trying to warn Sumire that she'll be killed in the park then-
I shot my eyes open as I remembered what I've read in the book didn't exactly happen in real life. I was about to reach for my phone that was on top of the table beside me when suddenly, the door opened.
"Y/n! Thank God you're okay!" Inojin and Shikadai came bursting in with worried on their face.
"Inojin!" I yelled while pulling him and putting him into an embrace. "I'm so sorry!"
"Shhh, it's not your fault. My question is, why did Sumire and Lee died in a different place that was said in the story but Kiba and the Principal were completely the same? Isn't that a mystery?" Inojin questioned while pulling away from you.
You never really thought about it but now that he mentioned it, you finally notice that three of the death was the same as the book while the other two were the same death but in different location.
"I... I don't know..." You loudly whispered and Shikadai placed his hand under his chin.
"Before Lee died, you warned him that he was going to die in the classroom right? Every one heard that and that was the reason why me, Inojin and Sumire have a chat with you at the Ferris wheel. The others didn't paid much attention to it though but we were the top three who notice it." Shikadai explained and you knew he was going somewhere.
"Y/n, did you somehow made any contact with Sumire before she died?" He ask me.
"Y-yes, after I read the book I immediately called her and told her that she was going to get killed on the park so-" I stop at mid sentence as I knew what he was trying to say. "I see..."
???'s POV
"So when you read the book it will happen in real life and whoever the person who's going to get killed will be the next target but... if you tell that person how he's going to die then the scene will change but it will happen in a different place." The smart Shikadai finally figured out what happened.
I was currently listening to their conversations with my ally beside me.
"I guess they're getting smarter and smarter, too bad they haven't suspect you yet. I guess they're not smart enough." He commented and I sinister grin crawl up on my face but it soon faded when I heard what they were talking about next.
"Y/n, we want you to bring the book to us as soon as possible." It was Inojin who spoke.
"All we can do in the meantime is read the book and try to save the next person that's going to die next." Shikadai said and I smirk.
