Whoever's pulling the strings in this city has the stupidest sense of humor.

[She's back to using voice as a default, so you can't see her displeasure, but it can be heard quite clearly. Don't mind her. She's just peeved.]

Hokage-sama... I think I owe you an apology.

So. [Pause.] That really happened, huh?

[Hard to tell if he sounds disappointed or worried really.]

[ voice ] sucker_punches September 1 2010, 03:37:03 UTC

Yeah, that really happened.

[Mostly, she's just irritated by whatever caused it.]

I can't believe you almost convinced me your father was trying to kidnap us!

[ voice ] couragetodare September 1 2010, 03:48:02 UTC

Was kinda hopin' it was a dream. [Muttered admission.]

He could'a been. I mean not him, but someone could'a been. You were... a pretty trusting kid. [Another pause.] Can't believe you almost believed me. [No. Seriously. Actually he can't even believe you talked to him, Sakura.]

[ voice ] sucker_punches September 1 2010, 04:07:05 UTC

[Snorts.] If only we were that lucky.

... I guess I was. Looking back now, I'm lucky I never was kidnapped.

[That last brings her up short. And she's not sure how to respond. When she does, her words are halting, like she's struggling against not wanting to say each one.] Of course I did. You stood up for me. [Which was the reason she became such fast friends with Ino.]

[ voice ] couragetodare September 1 2010, 04:26:09 UTC

Second time that's happened. [A beat.] Well, t'you. First time I didn't shrink.

No. Your mom an' dad were keeping an eye out I bet, they wouldn't have let you be kidnapped. [Firmly.

He doesn't know what to say to the last. Partially because of how Sakura delivers it. He thinks a while. He didn't know Sakura back then at all. Everything he saw was from a distance. But he remembers children teasing her.] Was that why? ... you would'a done the same for me though.

[ voice ] sucker_punches September 1 2010, 04:45:15 UTC

This has happened before? Somewhere else? [A guess.]

Yeah... I know they were. [It's a strange feeling... being little again, when her family was nearly everything to her, and missing them acutely. That part hasn't faded quite yet--missing her parents--despite being here long enough to find something like equilibrium.

Pause.] I would now. Back then... I would have wanted to, but I was a lot more timid. [There's an enormous understatement!]

[ voice ] couragetodare September 3 2010, 20:00:40 UTC

Yeah. World's End. [He falls silent.] You ended up hangin' out at Sasori's. That freaked me the fuck out. [A threadbare chuckle.

You were lucky, he wants to say then, that they were there. But doesn't.] Nothin' wrong with being trusting as a child. [In fact, it's a good thing. Children should not need to be distrustful.]

...still, you would'a wanted to. Counts to me.
