( Her finger stroked his cheek. “Oh, but you will. In your dreams, through the seal... I am always within you.” she said in a whisper. “I AM you. I may have abandoned you, but you cannot abandon me. You are mine.” )

It had taken some time to do and it was a few days past Sakurai's birthday, but this played perfectly into Inosuke's plans. Under the guise of only getting him a romance novel for his birthday and asking him to come over to help him with some math problem (ha, like Inosuke actually did math-- well he only did when he was adding up his shopping ( Read more... )

Sachiko had been debating with herself whether or not she should really step foot into the Uchiha graveyard again since she "invited" Naruko and Sakurai.
