-With Hinata's pregnancy behind them, Team 7 is finally reunited, but things are definitely not the same anymore. Naruto's a dad, Sasuke finally falls for Sakura, and Sakura . . . well, her real mom's come to take her back! Oh no! What's going to happen? And what's this about an engagement? Oh, and just when the family reunion was over… -Sequel to Passion-
Okay, here it is! The long awaited sequel of my fanfic Passion! Thank you for your patience! I know I've put this off for a long time, and I'm sorry. And I'm also sorry to say that this is a flashback chapter of everything important in Passion. Sorry, peoples. Also, the chapters in this fanfic will also be named after songs. And peoples, my reason for that is because I feel as though people should explore new songs in some different languages. I hope you guys check out the songs I suggest because I wouldn't name my chapters after stupid songs, okay?
Well, anyway, this chapter is named after two songs: Passion by Utada Hikaru and Hanabi ~Episode Ⅱ~ by Ayumi Hamsaki. And this whole fanfic is named after Ayumi Hamasaki's Fated.
Also, for those who haven't read Passion yet, this little series includes some Korean and Japanese and had included some crossovers:
From Inuyasha: Inuyasha, Kagome, and Kikyo
From Prince of Tennis: Ryoma and Sakuno
From Chobits: Chitose, Ichiro, Chii, and Freya
From Tsubasa Chronicles: Syaoran
Thank you for reading and please enjoy!
Chapter One
Passion ~Episode Ⅱ~
"Well, Uchiha, I have to say… This is . . . well, surprising. I have my hands full as it is, what with the village in the state that it's in… Well, I don't really know how to explain it, but . . . there has been trouble inside the village itself. Suna is just here as an ally and is helping us protect ourselves from outside forces while we . . . anoo, settle things. The jonin are all in over their heads, and Konoha 11 are . . . well, they're . . . I can't really explain it, but . . . you see . . . Ugh… How can I explain this?"
"They're dead?"
"HELL NO!"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Oh, nice to see you back, Sasuke. Maybe you can help. With the way things are, we could sure use any extra help we can get."
"Help? For what?"
"Shizune, just bring these four to Sakura's home. I'm sure she and the rest of Konoha 11 can explain things better than we can especially since…"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Oh? Kakashi! What are you doing here?"
"Oh, Shizune. I'm just here on some errands for Sakura and Naruto. Ramen's for Naruto. Thought it might cheer him up, you know, with everything that's going on. He's been so down lately. Sakura, too. She has it harder than him, though…"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Oh! You're back, Sasuke?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah. I forgot about him. Sasuke and his team came to Konoha about four and a half hours ago. I'm surprised you didn't hear about it, though."
"Gomen, gomen, but you know, with everything going on, it's kind of hard to keep up with outside affairs and things."
"It's fine, actually. Tsunade didn't even notice that they were in her office until after fifteen minutes. I can't believe how Hinata can cause this much of a problem and how this could happen to her…"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Sakura's parents are actually pretty famous all around, and I'm sure you all have heard of them—Mihara Ichiro and Hibiya Chitose."
"Who?"
"You guys are such idiots! Mihara Ichiro and Hibiya Chitose are the richest people in all of the Land of Fire—richer than the Fire Lord! They created the Angelic Layer project and used to be part-time actors, action choreographers, filmmakers, song writers, producers, screenwriters, entrepreneurs, singers, and major big-time stock owners! They even wrote a few best-selling books!"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Hello? Who is it?"
"Yeah, it's me, Ino. I got the groceries, and have everyone but Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata in the living room. I've brought a few visitors, and they need to be approved of by both parties."
"Um . . . okay."
"Both parties?"
"You'll understand later."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"OH MY KAMI-SAMA! Sasuke-kun?"
"That's wonderful. Perhaps Naruto and Sakura will cheer up a little after they see him."
"Yeah… Until he chooses the side he's going to be on."
"Don't be so pessimistic, Shikamaru!"
"But it's true. The Uchiha is going to have to choose a side, and he'll end up betraying one or the other for the second time."
"Well, as long as Sasuke doesn't leave Sakura on a freakin' bench again then it'll be fine."
"You left Pinkie on a bench? Man, even I'm not that cruel."
"Anoo . . . can this wait until later? I want to know why Konoha's in the state that it's in and why Kakashi said something about two parties and about everything that's going on here."
"I believe I'm speaking for everyone when I said that we all are very glad you came back, Uchiha, but . . . now may not be the best time. Your coming back may either stress out Haruno-san even more and break her or lessen her stress and mend her. We're all hoping for the latter but, considering what you did . . . well, I wouldn't hold it against her if she punched you into next month. Plus, with the trouble Hinata-sama has caused-"
"HEY! It's not like Hinata wanted this to happen! She had no control of this, just like everyone else in this room! So don't make it sound like Hinata did this purposely!"
"Alright, what's going on? I've been back no less than a day, and Konoha is almost—scratch that, is—a ghost of what it used to be. You all are acting strange, and I want to know why—right now."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Outside, Team Hebi."
"Not in my house."
"I just need to talk to them, Hinata. Don't strain yourself. Please rest. We'll be back in just a few minutes."
"Behave and then come back."
"Sakura, you should go with them. Sasuke did use to be your teammate, and I bet you have a lot to say to him. Moreover, I don't think you want any more supporting Naruto's side."
"There's no need. We've got enough people supporting us. Besides . . . I've got nothing to say to him."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"I'm not ready for you to kill me yet, Sasuke. You'll have to have a little patience, but you will get your chance after Hinata's life isn't being threatened by that thing."
"It's killing her, isn't it? She's dying."
"Yes, and it's my fault… Yes, it's killing her."
"So why haven't you all done anything? Tsunade's a medical ninja, right? Just ask her to get that thing out of Hinata."
"She won't let us."
"She won't let you? Did you even notice the fact that she's exactly as strong as a normal civilian now—maybe even weaker? How stupid are you? Hold her down and knock her out with drugs."
"I wanted to. Tsunade would have, but…"
"But what? You were too noble?"
"No, not noble. Her bodyguard complicated things."
"But Sakura's weak. You could just-"
"She trained under the Legendary Sucker herself, Sasuke. She's not as weak as you think anymore, and there's no way I'd hurt her again."
"But what's in it for the pink-haired beauty anyway? Does she want your lover to die so badly?"
"No… It's not that… She's not like that… All of the girls are friends, closer than any of us had ever thought… She didn't even give a second thought to this when Hinata asked her for help…"
"But what about Hinata's family? Surely, they're against anything that'll kill their heir."
"You saw Hanabi and Neji here… Their clan is . . . in debate. You saw the village in the state that it's in… The Hyuga clan had threatened to kill me. It almost caused a civil war… Suna even had to send its ninja to help… Hanabi and Neji threatened to leave the clan, and so the clan is re-thinking their actions now… Sakura's parents are trying to help Hinata's father through this… He had a heart attack, you know… Even you, Sasuke, cannot hate your brother as much as I hate myself."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Sasuke, you have to do something for me."
"There's nothing I can do that you haven't tried yet, Naruto. It's too late for Hinata."
"I'm not asking you to talk to Hinata, Sasuke, but to Sakura."
"What could I possibly do? You know how much I hurt her when I left, and you saw how she treated me in there. She won't listen to me."
"Sasuke, you know a side of her that I dare not explore… You can say things to her on a level that I don't even understand… You can make her re-think her decision… She won't listen to me—heck, she won't even let me speak—because she thinks I'm underestimating her. She thinks she's strong enough to pull Hinata through this, and Hinata trusts her to be there if she doesn't make it. I only need to make Sakura doubt her decision… It'll give me enough time to dissuade Hinata about this… Please . . . Sakura might listen to you. She still loves you, Sasuke."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"So . . . whose side are you going to be on? Or are you going back to Oto and hiding there?"
"I'm not going back to Oto, Sakura. I'm staying here. And I'm not going to be on anyone's side. I'll just be neutral. I'm not betraying anyone again."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Hey, I've got a question."
"What is it?"
"I was just wondering if Sakura's sisters even look like her."
"What? What did you just say?"
"I'm just saying… Sakura doesn't look like her mother, Maybe she's not Hibiya-san's daughter, after all."
"WHAT? Did you just doubt the fact that my friend is her mother's child?"
"Well, yeah. I mean, they don't look alike at all—not even a bit."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Appa! Why do you have to go now? I need you here, at home with me."
"Gomennasai, Sakura. But we've put off this meeting long enough. We need to go or the Fire Lord will do something terrible to Konoha. I'm sure you don't want that to happen."
"But Appa!"
"Sakura, that's enough. You're our daughter, don't forget that. You're not just some girl, but you're also the heir to everything we've accomplished. You can't just get something because you want it, and you can't act like a spoiled brat every time you want your father and me to stay at home. Don't forget the promise you've made to me in order to protect Hinata."
"I won't, Eomma."
"Good, that's my daughter."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Lao-bo! You can't do that to her!"
"You're only saying that because you don't think of Sakura as your own daughter."
"What? You know that I love her as my own! You know that I care for her as much as I care about the rest of our daughters! You know that better than anyone!"
"Then don't say that ever again. I've made myself clear. After this mission of hers, she is not ever to be a ninja again."
"Lao-bo! I know Nadeshiko entrusted you with her but-"
"I DON'T EVER WANT TO HEAR YOU SAYING THAT WOMAN'S NAME EVER AGAIN! If Sakura ever finds out, she'll never trust us again! You saw how hurt she was when she found out you weren't her birth father. I don't want her going through that ever again. We were only lucky that she believed my late husband was her father. We won't be the second time, though, and I plan on bringing that secret with me to the grave."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Shh, it's okay. Nobody will blame you… You've let all of your sorrow gather in your heart for such a long time… It's okay to cry… You don't have to be strong, and you don't have to act like you are… I'm here for you… I'm here… We'll get through this together…"
"I don't why I have to go through all of this! I don't know why this has to happen to me! I'm so upset, Ino! I really don't know what I'll do!"
"It's okay… We'll find a way… We always do…"
"It all hurts so much, Ino… I really don't know what to do anymore… I really don't…"
"Daijōbu… Love is something that returns[1]… Hinata and Naruto won't forget what you're doing and what you've done for them. They won't forget your sacrifices…"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Her mom said that she had . . . accepted you as Sakura's . . . boyfriend…"
"It was probably when I had asked her out for the millionth time… She finally accepted… It was probably a month after that when I had to go on a mission with Hinata, just three weeks ago… The one you saw us on… That was when it happened… Hinata and I had to investigate something about an Akatsuki member causing trouble or something… It was the one in the orange mask, Tobi. We finally cornered him when he threw something kind of bomb at us. It exploded, but we only thought it was a smokescreen. The effects, though, took place a few hours after that. We were drugged, and it . . . sort of happened…"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Here, Sakura. This came in for you."
"It's the imperial sign of the Fire Lord… It can't be for me; it's probably for my parents."
"No, it's not. It was specifically addressed to you. Well, what does it say?"
"It's in Korean. 'From the one who has always loved you since birth, no matter what you do. Just always remember: I'll always love you, no matter what has happened.'"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"How could Empress Nadeshiko of Fukakusa be Sakura's mother? The bitch's a ninja, for crying out loud! People who are part of the royal family look down on us because we are ninja! How in the world would the empress leave her daughter here? And to become a ninja? It doesn't make any sense!"
"Well, of course, it doesn't make sense. You don't even know the whole story yet, so shut up and listen because we're only saying this once! And only once!"
"Nadeshiko herself used to be a ninja but, when she was about our age, she was raped by her own brother and disowned by her family. Now before you say anything, you must know that Lady Nadeshiko loved Sakura with all of her heart, even naming her daughter Aiki of Senguu—Beloved Princess of All—and she took care of Sakura for four full years. But after those four years, things became harder for Nadeshiko-san and, in turn, she was forced to ask one of her old friends to take care of Sakura. They agreed to take care of Sakura for only a short while. In that time, however, Nadeshiko married the former Fire Lord's son who later took the throne. She couldn't risk damaging her husband's image, so she had Chitose and Ichiro adopt Sakura. And because of that decision, Chitose grew cold towards her friend. She was very angry, and her anger only grew when Nadeshiko decided to erase her daughter's memories and her whole existence from her daughter's life. Chitose agreed but only because Nadeshiko promised never to become involved with Aiki's life ever again."

"They sleep in the same room?"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Everything's fine."
"What did they want?"
"They just wanted to talk. No attack on the horizon."
"Good, good… But I doubt they were the ones who rang the doorbell. Who was it?"
"My sister, C.C., and her boyfriend, Lelouch. You remember, right? She came to visit once."
"Oh, yes. She's the green-haired one in that picture who loves pizza. You should get some rest, Saki."
"I'm fine… I was just thinking about something."
"What is it?"
". . . The family reunion."
"But with everything going on, how are you possibly going to have that gathering?"
"It doesn't matter. A month from now is the only day that all of us are free. It's the only time of the year we can spend together as a family. Regardless of the dangers, the reunion time cannot be changed."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Ahem… Cousin, Sister, meet Friends. Friends meet Cousin and Sister. Just kidding, kidding… This is Kikyo, my beloved cousin, and this is my adopted bratty older sister, Kagome."
"Hey, Sakura, is that Sasuke guy your boyfriend or something?"
"Yes, you two seem too close to each other to just be friends. And C.C. even called me late last night, telling me that you two slept together."
"WHAT?"
"Well, is he, Saki?"
"I SHOULD BE THE ONE ASKING YOU THAT, KAGOME! DON'T YOU HAVE A STEADY RELATIONSHIP WITH SOME GUY THAT I HAVEN'T EVEN MET YET?"
"Oy! Kagome!"
"Kagome… Who the Hell is this?"
"Eh-heh-heh-heh… This . . . is . . . Inuyasha."
"Who?"
"He's . . . [gulps] my boyfriend?"
"WHAT? HOW COULD YOU BE DATING SOME PUNK? JUST LOOK AT HIS HAIR! HE'S A PUNK! PLUS, HE'S A DOG! WHY WOULD YOU BE DATING HIM? BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, YOU BETTER TELL HIM THAT HE'S GOING TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE WINDOW HE BROKE! NOW!"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"So . . . your adopted sister wants to get married?"
"She's serious about the guy… I don't really know what to think…"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Tell me now… Did you use to date Kikyo?"
". . . Yes…"
"Kisama..! Nanda, kisama ha? You ruined my family… Kagome and Kikyo grew up like sisters! They never fought like that before… Even Sakura was disgusted by that sight, and she hasn't even spent more than a week with them in her whole life… Do you expect me to let this slide? And . . . in this situation, do you expect me to give you my blessings?"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"C.C., you're not going to do anything drastic, are you?"
"If you mean 'drastic' as in kicking them out of the house then yes."
"C.C., you . . . you kicked them out of my house?"
"Sakura, just let me handle this, okay? You're under too much stress as it is."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Oh my Kami-sama! I think my water broke! I don't feel so good! I think the baby's coming!"
"Aw… Did you hear that, guys? The baby's coming…"
"THE BABY'S COMING?"
"Battle stations!"
"Battle stations?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I say 'battle stations'? What I meant was—ahem—BATTLE STATIONS!"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Aw, you're so cute… I don't understand what all the fuss was about… You two are just too adorable and, to think, your daddy wanted to kill you. Yes, he did. Oh, yes he did."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Sakura!"
"No! C.C., don't get close! Follow the procedures! It's a poison!"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"What's going on?"
"It's an emergency lockdown!"
"Lady Tsunade! Lady Tsunade! Come quick! Sakura-she-I don't know what happened! Lady Tsunade!"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Her heart rate is erratic. There's clotting in the kidneys."
"How bad is that?"
"Bad enough."
"But what worries us most is the lung damage. The toxin has caused edema."
"What does that mean? I don't know what that means…"
"Fluid build-up. Essentially . . . she's drowning."
"My baby sister… My poor baby sister…"
"How much time does she have?"
"Send for the rest of her family. Right now . . . we're not sure of anything. Gomen ne…"
"I saw everything, and yet . . . I couldn't do anything… I was only a few feet away from her, and yet . . . I'm fine… How could that be?"
"It's not a toxic gas. It's actually a powder. There's probably traces of it on her clothing. We're getting our best experts to examine it."
"Just tell them to work fast."
"First, Hinata. Now, Sakura. I can't believe this is happening…"
"Believe it, dobe. This is what's happening. Deal with it."
"Well, unlike you, teme, I actually care about her."
"Don't you ever say that again! Unlike you, I know she's going to make it through this. She's strong, Naruto. You of all people should know that."
"Anoo . . . did I hear correctly? Did the cold, heartless bastard say that he cared about Sakura?"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"How did you get the poison inside the bottle and how did you get the bottle inside the house?"
"I did it when your sister went shopping the other day."
"You're lying. Sakura was unable to leave the house the other day. Tell me the truth: who—are—you—working—for? And who are your co-conspirators?"
"What are you talking about, C.C.? It's just me."
"You're lying. You didn't set a foot into this house—none of the security cameras caught you on tape. Now, tell me the truth: who do you have working with you and who are you working for?"
"It's your choice whether to believe me or not."
"Then what is your goal? What purpose do you have for going after my sister?"
"My goal . . . C.C., as it's always been . . . is you."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Mao poisoned Sakura? But how did that happen?"
"We don't know how he did it, but he did."
"But there's no way he could come up with a plan like this! There has to be another person involved!"
"We know that, too, Hinata. Daijōbu… We'll get the people who did this to Sakura…"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"It's me, C.C."
"Mao…"
"I'll be waiting in the Forest of Death. Come alone."
"Still as insistent as usual…"
"If you don't come then I'll kill Lelouch. And you know I can do that, and I won't show mercy."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"So . . . this is where my sister's having the reunion, huh?"
"It would seem so…"
"Mada mada dane… Sakura sure knows how to pick them, huh?"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"I've rigged this place full of dynamite! Once I push this button, this whole place will go down along with me! So, unless you want to die, I suggest you hand over C.C.!"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"I don't understand… What's so special about that pink-haired bitch?"
"Karin, please… She's letting us stay here out of kindness. You should treat her with such, too."
"There's no way in the world I'd do that! NOT IN A MILLION YEARS!"
"Then you should go rot in a hole!"
"Well, at least, I'd know that brat's going down first! Kabuto assured me-shimatta!"
"Did you say 'Kabuto'?"
"Oh, what's it to you? That bitch has never done anything for us! Why should we care about her?"
"Karin, if you haven't noticed, Sasuke loves her."
"And she loves him, so you should just back off if you really love the bastard."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"He's dead!"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Yo! I turn my back for one second, and you break my wall?"
"Well, sorry! But I have a bit of a crisis on my hands!"
"Fine, we'll talk about this later! Damn Uchiha, always thinking the damn world revolves around him…"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Hey, Shikamaru, are you sure this plan will work?"
"Choji, have I ever led you wrong?"
"No… I guess not… But this is Orochimaru and Kabuto fused together we're talking about here… We don't really know what we're up against, so-"
"Aw, just listen to him, Choji!"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"I got it! Kikyo! Release your barrier when I say so! When that happens, everyone stand back! Ino, you and Karin help Kikyo. Sasuke, I need your fire jutsu right after the barrier's gone! Shoot up as many flames as possible to burn away the miasma! Inuyasha and Kagome, I need the Adamant Barrage[2] and a Scared Arrow! And shoot them at the door!"
"HUH?"
"JUST DO IT!"
"Why you little-"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"You left her! You abandoned her! Do you think I'd actually let you see her? After what you promised me? It's not happening… You're to stay out of Sakura's life, now and forever more!"
"Chitose, I know that I did wrong by leaving her… But please… She's my daughter! Let me see her!"
"No! She's not your daughter! You've lost that right the moment you decided to give her to us! She doesn't even remember you! I don't want her to see you at all!"
"But Chitose, please… I know I did wrong, but please… She's my own flesh and blood, regardless of who raised her! I can't help but want to see her and talk to her and let her know how much I love her. Please… I want my daughter back, Chitose…"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"AHHHHHHH!"
"What was that?"
"That would be Naruto's new housekeeper."
"Actually, Sakura, I think he's just found his reason to quit."
"Oh, you're right. Then he would be Naruto's soon-to-be ex-housekeeper."
"Oh… But . . . wait… Why is he-"
"Oh, it's because he found my room."
"Hey, here's an idea! Why not let Team Hebi be the new housekeepers? You know, as their probation?"
"WHAT?"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"OH MY KAMI-SAMA! AHHHHH!"
"What is it?"
"IT WAS MOVING!"
"What was?"
"EVERYTHING!"
"That's it! I don't care if we have to lie to Lady Tsunade to cover anything! I don't care if she tortures me until the day I die for lying! It's time we take evasive action!"
"Uh . . . evasive action?"
"YES, EVASIVE ACTION! DO I HAVE TO KICK ALL YOUR ASSES FOR YOU ALL TO UNDERSTAND?"
"N-n-no, ma'am!"
"GOOD! NOW LISTEN UP! Sasuke, Katon[3] the whole damn place! And everyone else, just use a destructive jutsu!"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"OH—MY—KAMI-SAMA!"
"What's wrong, Lady Tsunade?"
"Shizune, look! Naruto's room! It's… It's…"
"It's clean!"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Then what about you, Ryoma? What's your story?"
"Oh, Chitose and Ichiro are my godparents."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"What's going on, Kikyo?"
"I think Nadeshiko is up to something."
"WHAT?"
"Are you sure about this?"
"Just now, I was up in Sakura's room, and I saw her holding Nadeshiko's family heirloom—that . . . that Golden Phoenix of Dreams Gwansik[4]. Sakura said that it was from the Fire Lord's family and that it came in the mail. There was no name or anything, just that it was addressed to our little cherry blossom. Nadeshiko wouldn't be up to anything, would she?"
"I . . . I don't know… Back when I traveled with her, Nadeshiko was not very outgoing because she was always in hiding. But now, she's the Fire Lord's Noble Consort. Perhaps she's changed especially now that she has enough political power to get anything she wants…"
"I don't think it's that much to worry about. It poses only as a small problem. Otousan and Okaasan are in the Imperial Palace right now, and I believe they're speaking to that woman. Knowing Okaasan, I don't believe she'd allow Nadeshiko to continue doing this."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Lao-bo, you need to calm down… We need to think things through. You've just told the Fire Lord's Noble Consort to back off because Sakura already has a wonderful life—not only that, but you also told her that Sakura already has a fiancé! Now how do you suppose it'll go if Nadeshiko actually visits her?"
"It doesn't matter… I'm not giving Sakura back to her, not ever! Let alone visit her… Even if it costs me my life, Sakura isn't going back to that wicked lady!"
"Lao-bo, you know as well as I do that . . . even if we've treated Sakura as our daughter, she isn't. She needs to know the truth… She probably wonders about her birth parents."
"Sakura's my daughter… I won't have it any other way. I'll come up with something… I won't allow her to feel that pain ever again… I won't allow it!"
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Is that Forehead? With that cold, heartless bastard who's actually smiling for once? And they're . . . they're . . ."
"Happy and having fun? I think the heat's getting to me."
"Anoo . . . Kakashi, it's only sixty-six degrees today, and it's windy."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Hey, since you've asked your questions now, can I ask you something?"
". . . Shoot."
"Are you staying?"
"Depends on what you mean."
"In Konoha. With Konoha 11. With Team 7. With us. . . . With me…"
"For as long as you want me to."
✿｡.:**:.｡✿
"Yes, Syaoran?"
"My lady, we are ready to leave now. Will you be accompanying us?"
