He looked down at her expressionlessly, his face impassive. She wasn't sure what hurt more, the fact he didn't seem to care that she was in front of him, or the fact that he had said Sakura's name but not hers.
He glanced at Yamato-sensei briefly before letting his eyes settle on her again. She seen him move, but her body didn't react, instead letting him settle against her much smaller body. His lithe body was harder than she remembered it, and the muscles she could see were also very new.
"You haven't changed much." The murmured silky-rough voice was something that had also changed as well, it was deeper and even more addictive.
"I had to travel with Jiraiya of all people, do you think he'd make sure I'd get fed properly?" she snorted, "The only thing that's changed about me is I have a daughter and her father abandoned me."
"I know about a lot on that topic." He tilted her face towards his, making their eyes connect. She was instantly in a little clearing with a lake, the place they had met in as children when Sasuke tried to drown himself after the Massacre. They used to visit there often.
"I bet. Will you kidnap her?" She hated to ask it in this illusion of all places, but it had to be done. Tsunade wanted to kill her, just because of who her father was.
"You want me to kidnap her?" Sasuke was a little shocked.
"They want to kill her, she's not aloud in school, she's not treated as badly as I was, but it's still pretty bad. You can protect her, I know you can. You value family as much as I do. Sassy, please. I know Oro-Chan will help you take care of her.
"I'll have to talk this over with him. I'll do it within the month, Daisuke." And with that he knocked her out, being careful not to leave any bruises.
A week later Mina disappeared, Naru didn't file a report, and no one really cared to notice. Although they noticed that the tiny blonde seemed to fight back now, killing anyone who attacked her with a jutsu no one knew. It was about two months that no one in the village woke up again to see the new spring.
