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.

Back now, are you? Aaron will be happy, I'm sure....

I'm not sure whether I should be hoping for Sasori and Itachi to follow you back soon, or not.

[breaking_bonds]

What do you mean, Itachi to follow?

Where did he go?

[monstrouscourge]

He disappeared the same time you did, Sasuke-san. It was a pretty big shock for everyone.

Still, I guess it's fitting that brothers would disappear together like that, huh? Maybe he'll show up again soon, too.

[breaking_bonds]

Perhaps for once, he'll follow me rather than me following him. I hope.

S-Sasuke? OH GOD SASUKE!

-Yeah, he sounds on the verge of bawling-

[[ Voice ]]

[breaking_bonds]

Where are you?

Re: [[ Voice ]]

[timid_werewolf]

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?

[frailsunflower]

Welcome back.. Sasuke.

[breaking_bonds]

Hinata. You're still here.

[frailsunflower]

Yes, I am still here.. I don't know who else is here besides Aaron and few others.

[breaking_bonds]

Where have you been staying? Is Sakura with you?

[windsawakening]

Better a little hope than none at all, Sasuke,

[breaking_bonds]

Still alive, hm?

[windsawakening]

Did you believe otherwise?

[breaking_bonds]

I was curious.
