Sachiko watched Sakurai vanish into the crowd, his fervent promises to return as quickly as he was able still in her ears. It certainly wasn't his fault that he was needed, but his going and her staying meant she was without the buffer she needed to fend off and/or deal with ( unwanted would-be suitors. )

[Set before the attack. I just fail at posting.] Hinaji had been nervous the entire ceremony. His formal clothing, while not unusual, never felt very comfortable. And most uncomfortable was that he was separated from those closest to him. Namely, Kiba.

( 'You can't be the victim forever.' )

The last time Kiba had gone to talk to Tsurude alone, it had ended in... well, it hadn't ended in tears, but it hadn't ended well.
