Arashi-chan: . . . it's okay, Arashi-chan. ((huggles again)) It's not that sad...
Yuki KIKI: Thank you! I know it's short...I tried to make it longer, really I did, but I don't think it worked as well. Besides, there are going to be sixteen chapters...which, if you cram them all together, would make a rather long one-shot. I just felt like splitting it up because the titles flowed so well. n.n Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review, though! It didn't come across like a flame at all. Constructive criticism, I say. Yay!

I Think It Left Me Long Ago
It could have happened yesterday, for all he remembered.
These Memories; Part III
It couldn't have been that long ago. One week? Two? Maybe a few months?
Time had slipped past him again. Chouji simply didn't keep track of anything anymore, because nothing was really worth it. This happened, that happened, and somehow, life went on.
People asked him if he's okay. Sure he's okay—does he not look okay?
Why should he, when Shikamaru had left him so long ago?
