Again. Dammit! I am not supposed to be here.

Aaron. Itachi. Where are you? Have you fixed the pagoda?

Idiot. You have kept out of trouble, I hope? Though, knowing you, I do have little hope. I'm sure Sakura kept you in line.

Th-the eatery...

-sniffle-

You left...and then Itachi left...

-soft sobbing-

I was so worried!

[[ Voice ]]

[breaking_bonds]

I didn't have a choice in the matter.

[There's a bit of a pause there.]

Itachi left?

[[ Voice ]]

[timid_werewolf]

I...I know...

-deep breath, forcing himself to calm down-

He left not long after you; I couldn't smell him anymore or anything...

[[ Voice ]]

[breaking_bonds]

I...see. And Sasori, too? Gone?

I'll be there shortly.

[[ Voice ]]

[timid_werewolf]

He's gone too, yes. Not even a trace of his direwolf...

Good...good. Thank you.

Who is still here?

Hn.

[[ Voice ]]

[timid_werewolf]

You and me...Sasori went home, and Itachi...

I think one or two others. But Kisame is here, and Konan and I assume those other two guys are too. Sakura, I haven't seen Naruto...or Mr Kakashi but I'm sure they're still here somewhere...
