Always Beautiful
You don't need that. You don't, I promise. What's with you girls anyways? What's with you? Seems like ages since we've had a real "hey, how ya doin'?" conversation, a "let's talk because we want to not because we have to " conversation. Well, yeah, I guess it's been hard recently. Complicated with him gone. I know you miss him just as much as I do. He was like a second dad and older brother put under one title: "sensei". He was that too though. Sensei. Didn't he tell you? Didn't he say "you don't need that" just like I did? Like I do? It's not easy, you know, for me. I put a lot of effort into this. I don't know why I don't just give up. Maybe because it's you. Yeah, I care about some people, and I'll make the extra push sometimes, but it's up to you now, woman. Up to you. I've got to catch you all the time, what with your technique, and I can feel it. You're getting lighter. You don't need that. And your hair… who are you trying to impress? Sasuke's gone for good, I'm sorry, but it's a fact. You don't need that. It's not right. I caught you another time, at the stone, remember? I could almost get my arms around you twice. But your face? It hasn't changed. That's what you need. Your lips? Haven't changed at all. That's what I need. I need you to come back, come back to say "hey, how's it going?" talk because we can. Because, woman, you may be pretty now, but you were always beautiful.
For You
You just don't get it do you? An I.Q. of over 200 and you still can't understand. Are you not trying? Do you not want to try? I guess some things never change. You keep telling me I don't need it, all this…change, but you've changed too. Where'd all this incentive come from, all this drive. Was it him leaving us, is that all it took? You don't understand at all. I do need it, I'll keep needing it, I'll need it until you get it, knucklehead. Choji got it, he understands. Hasn't he talked to you? Yes. Have you listened? I don't know. Why can't you boys just drop your guns for a bit and listen to your heart? You never could hear the flowers, and they talk to you all the time. I can't, you know, give them to you though, flowers I mean. Then you'd get it. Then you'd understand. But that would be easy, and you don't like easy. So I'll keep waiting at the counter until you get it. Until you listen. You'll know then, you'll get everything. When you come to the counter then, it's not going to cost anything. Anything material anyways. What's your I.Q. going to do for you if you can't even stop to listen to the little voices, the smart voices in your heart, not your head. Don't you get it? I do need it. I need it for you.
