six crows (朱) action

[yourhatred]

[Despite the appearance of the newly created battledome, there's a small child training with kunai outside of the barracks this morning. He's drawn targets on sheets of paper and stuck them to the practice dummies. Each time he throws one, it strikes the center of a target with deadly precision

[bothered? Nope, not really. Sheena will approach silently from behind...and a small knife different from Itachi's will sink into the center of the target farthest from him.]

[corrinesbell]

I wouldn't be much of one if I said 'yes' without knowing if you were my enemy, would I?

[yourhatred]

Then I am clearly not your enemy, as you've already shown me as much. [The question was simply for the sake of politeness.]

[corrinesbell]

Maybe I just don't think you'd be able to get to me before I could counter.

[but her tone is good-natured. She's teasing him]

[yourhatred]

Maybe. [His smile is very small, but it's there. It was probably the truth anyway.]

[corrinesbell]

[Sheena's smile is bigger, but not as fully happy]

Actually right now that's...probably not as true as you think.

[yourhatred]

No? [He gives her a look.] Are you all right?

[corrinesbell]

I was kidnapped.

[that is the very short version]

[yourhatred]

Kidnapped? [He frowns.] While you were here? By who?

[corrinesbell]

[uh-oh. He doesn't know?]

That part wasn't the big deal. [liar] I got hurt getting out. I'm pretty okay now, though, just tired.

[yourhatred]

Did it have anything to do with the people that run this place? One of the experiments?

[corrinesbell]

...Yeah. It did.

[yourhatred]

I'm sorry. That couldn't have been very pleasant.

[corrinesbell]

...It's happened before. I think I'm kinda used to it.

[yourhatred]

They've taken you more than once? Is it that unavoidable?

[corrinesbell]

I think I'm up to...six or seven. Heh, I can't believe I lost count.

But nobody's strong enough to fight the things they send to come get you.
