Chapter 16 – Sakura

I still can't believe that the man of my dreams finally came back to me… that he offered himself to me, body and soul. That's more than I could ever expect from fate. I'd better get up and make breakfast for when he wakes up.

"Where do you think you're going, cherry blossom ?"

That's one sleepy voice you could recognize out of millions. It's still making me blush, as I can feel…

"I thought you might be hungry…so I wanted to cook you something."

"The only thing I'm hungry for right now is you. So you'll better forget about everything else and come back here."

"Huh, as you wish then, Sasuke."

Sweet, long expected reality. Nothing could make me get away from his embrace right now. Ever.

Chapter 17 - Shadyn

"Good. Morning, darlings ! I hope you slept well because we have several things to do today. First, mobilize and check the borders for intruders and second, spot and destroy the enemy. I am trusting you all. When needed, we will split up in pairs of two. Ayumi will come with me, and you guys will go together. Understood ?"

"Yes, Shadyn sensei !"

"The same will do we, except for the part that we will cover another area. Oremi, no matter what happens, you will stay by my side. Yuudai, I entrust you the other tasks. You guys be safe."

"Understood, Itachi sensei !"

After this little introduction, we all took off and split at the crossroad. I only hope they will all be okay, no matter that Itachi couldn't really be defeated and so was Yuudai… kind of. The biggest fear should be of how well will my team do from now on…
