Yo's! Kushina's b-day was on the 10th, btw. I don't feel like checking anyone else's though. I only knew because of facebook. She'll be doing the disclaimer, too.

I'll be in NY and Maryland for a week so I'll have to write the next chapter earlier because I won't have a lot of time when I get back.

Recently started/finished anime: Zetsuen no Tempest (Blast of Tempest) and I'm halfway through Project K. I think Kuroh's my favorite in K, but Misaki's so... cute, that I'm having trouble deciding. Oh, and a lot of familiar voices in K. Shiro=both Italy's in Japanese. 'Didja know? But I have to say, so far, though I like K a lot, Zetsuen is my favorite of the two. But I'm not done with K, so who knows. And I think Yoshino may be my fave overall character in ZnT. But I favor Mashiro's character design and overall danger-vibe-ish more... that's it. They're tied. Done. I like Hanemaru a lot, too. And Samon reminds me of someone a lot... who? Mihawk (OP), maybe? But why him? They're nothing alike! Whatever...

I plan on Free! next cuz I think I could finish that/be up-to-date by the time we go to NY. I hope it's actually good... there's a lot of hype, but it's mostly because it's full of half-naked bishies. Not that I mind that part, I just hope it's actually good. Feedback, anyone?

Fun fact (about me or otherwise): I play this license-plate game with my dad and sister in the car. We look out for license plates as we're in the car and whoever finds the farthest on at the end of the day wins the satisfaction of winning. Rule: You must be with one other player (my sis or dad) when playing. On your own does not count. For us, Mexican, Californian, Texan and Arizona plates don't count because we live in AZ and there's just so many of those. You can do the same if you want to play it - your state doesn't count, and the most-seen ones/closer places may not count either. We used to play this "find-a-pink-car-and-the-winner-makes-the-loser-th eir-servants-for-two-days" game, but no one actually served anybody else (and my dad was at work so he couldn't "serve") and I won so many times we just stopped playing all together. I still occasionally find a pink car.

Book Rec.: Ascension Trilogy by Jennifer A. Nielson. Two are out so far. The first one's the False Prince. It's about an orphan, "Sage", whom w/ 3 other orphans is collected by noble _ (forgot his first name) Conner to basically be trained to impersonate the long-lost prince of their country because of reasons. It has a twist. In a way, Conner's a lot like Danzo - truly does what he feels is right for his country and dearly loves it, but is still thirsting for power and crazy. And desperate. There's a bit of romance for you romance lovers, but not heavy for you not-so-much-romance peeps. It's not cheesy at all, though. Great series. I love it. :)

Anime Rec.: Zetsuen no Tempest. A story about revenge where the main character (who's the best friend is the one looking for revenge) tries to make it end in a happy ending, like The Tempest by Shakespeare, so the death of a someone dear to him isn't in vain. (The death of that person is the one his friend is avenging) 26 eps and it's great. And one of the only love triangles I can stand (I usually hate them because they twist my heart) and definitely the weirdest I've seen. Because one corner didn't even realize it until WAAAAAYYY later. (Thank you Hanemura for saying what we all knew was true) Good one, not very bright and preppy, but real-like and deep. And the creator obviously loved Shakespeare.

Answer to last QotW: Airheads. Done. When I was little, there was this sour-ish, yellow, Spongebob one that my dad and I got very week (and my sis got the tatts in the pack) and I loved them. They're still my favorite. But they discontinued that flavor a long time ago. I was devastated. My dad was kinda upset, too, because he liked it a lot as well, even though he doesn't like candy, really.

So! 4k words of SasuSaku, NaruHina, and SasuHinaFriendship! like I promised. (with like 2k of A/N... sheesh)

Sorry that the NaruHina's kinda abrupt, though. I should've made more development for it, but I didn't have many opportunity with those two together so...

I plan to re-write this in a couple years, so I'll definitely make more room for NaruHina development.

I'll try to do that with ReWind right now.

Oh! I also accidentally named the last chapter's file: ReWind Chapter 31. Sorry! I was out of it that day.

Anyway, enjoy!


Chapter 32: Secrets: Discovered and Told


Sasuke POV, Day 6

"Here you go, Sasuke-san," Hinata said, placing a glass of water on my bedside table like she usually did when she came to visit Naruto. Then, she turned and passed through the curtain that separated Naruto and I.

Unfortunately, the Dobe and I somehow shared the same hospital room.

Whoever came up with that arrangement deserves a kick to the face. A hard one.

Anyway, Hinata came to visit Naruto every day, and for some reason even talked to me sometimes while she was here. Normally if Naruto was asleep.

I've never actually talked to her very much in the Academy for reasons that needn't be explained.

So to see that the shy girl made an effort to try and converse with me was a surprise. Someone's coming out of her shell~…

We didn't speak much, but over time, we had a silent, mutual… bond of sorts. Maybe it was inevitable being the… "so-called" best friend of the guy she likes. And the fact that she was… tolerable, I guess, and used to brain she was given unlike some people I know. She's a nice and smart girl. You don't need to be tsundere about admitting that.

I'm not.

I'm not even going to pretend that I believe you.

But we had an odd mutual understanding that I can't really explain: we'd both watch over Naruto, and we'd both be kind to each other. That was all I was able to name and identify in this "bond".

It's something like that… I don't really know. It's one of those feelings you can't really explain.

It's weird, but we got along pretty well, so I didn't mind.

Sakura came every day as well, bringing fruit for me if she could. If she couldn't, like when she was still in the hospital as well and couldn't buy any, Hinata normally carried some extra - for Naruto's bottomless pit that he claims is a stomach.

Hinata was out of the hospital three days after we were admitted, so she had more opportunity to buy fruit.

She was still pretty weak, but I'm sure she got out when she did because she didn't want to be stuck to a hospital bed anymore. I'd do the same.

But Naruto's fussing over her is annoying.

Anyway, Hinata would peel/cut/slice her fruit for Naruto, and Sakura would do the same for me.

The first time Sakura cut a fruit for me, it was a red apple, and her hand shook as she peeled it, ending up cutting herself. It was almost like she was afraid of something…

What about some red-apple-peeling trauma? (1)

That's ridiculous. Stop being stupid.

You never know~…

I highly doubt that's the problem.

Afterward, she washed her hand and healed it, re-washing the fruit as well, shaking off any questions I had about her shaking hands by lame excuses. Naruto, Hinata, and I all knew something was up with that, but didn't say anything.

When I ate the apple slices, she seemed very relieved, and something like recognition sparked in Hinata's eyes, like she finally understood why.(2)

I shrugged it off as a "girl thing", albeit still a bit suspicious. Over shaking hands and a sigh of relief. That's lame, man.

Shut up.

Ooh, wait! Sakura's here!

I turned to the door to see the pinkette walk through doorway, a small basket in hand. "Hi Hinata-chan, Naruto."

Naruto's bed was closest to the door, and can be seen from there. I can't see Naruto or Hinata because of the curtain, and they can't see me. That's the way Naruto and I like it.

"Hey Sakura-chan!/Hello, Sakura-chan." Were their responses before turning back to each other to continue to eat and talk. I needn't specify who was who.

Sakura passed over to my side of the room, taking her usual seat in the chair next to my bed.

"Today's mango, like you requested," she said, peeling said fruit after washing it in the sink in the room. "What do you want tomorrow? A tomato again?" she teased.

I smirked in amusement. "No, actually. A Granny Smith apple would suffice."

She smiled. "Of course, Master."

The response made me chuckle.

We were silent as she finished peeling and started cutting pieces from the mango. "I hear you'll be out soon."

I nodded. "Later today."

"Good for you," she responded, a smile ever on her face.

"Any news today?" Sakura was the one, aside from Hinata at times, was our main source of news, due to our lack of mobility.

Her demeanor darkened slightly. Bad news?

She threw the mango seed away, after cutting (and eating) all she could from it, washing her hands from the juice. When she came back, she handed me a toothpick to eat the fruit with and used her own to take a piece for herself.

After she finished the piece, she spoke. "Sai-kun's operation is tonight. Ino-pig's spending as much time as she could with him before he leaves."

Everyone knows Ino is infatuated with Sai and that he doesn't seem to mind, but Sakura is the one who knows most about their feelings aside from the two themselves.

She's the one who told me that Ino's feelings are much stronger than a simple crush, (unlike what we assumed) and that Sai may return them. To an extent. I don't think I could believe it, but Sakura knows the two best so…

"It's not like the crush she had on you," she had said. "It's more real than that."

I asked her if it was love, remembering Hana and my brother. "I think it's evolving into love, yes." She answered, an almost sad smile on her face. "I pray this ends well for them…"

We said nothing more about it since.

Bottom line, I more or less understood that Ino was going to be really hurt when he left. Maybe even crushed.

It almost made me think what Sakura would do if I left.

Resulting in me remembering a reoccurring nightmare I've been having. Of me leaving Konoha.

… I think.

The nightmare happened in clips and scenes;

Sakura and I near the exit of the village at night. I think there was a full moon.

Her crying.

Me spouting something about different paths.

Revenge.

She begging me to stay.

And… telling me that she loves me…

… That she'd make me happy if I stayed.

I had whispered "thank you" to her as I knocked her out and laid her on a bench – the same bench that Sakura always seemed nervous around whenever she was around it.

It took having the dream many times in different clips and scenes for me to finally piece it all together.

It wasn't the only odd dream I've had – I've had different clips and scenes of fighting Naruto on the top of a building; being jealous that he saved her from Gaara or something like that (which is odd because that didn't happen)(3), Kakashi telling me to let go of revenge; and older me training with Orochimaru; Kabuto in what I assume to be hideouts of Orochimaru.

A guy with white hair and shark teeth and Zabuza's sword; a large guy with orange hair that seemed to lose control when his curse mark took him over; many Shinobi gathered together with headbands that said "Shinobi"; a large white monster; two odd Uchihas; people with flaking skin and black where the white part of their eyes should be; a yellow-glowing man that resembled Naruto; older versions of my friends; Danzo; a masked man with the eye of the Sharingan telling me something…

Itachi and Karin.

I killed them both.

Or tried to.

Itachi seemed to be dying already in the first place, and I was stopped from killing Karin by… Sakura, I think. I was crazed when I did it.(4) For whatever reason.

I was in the middle of that dream when I woke up this morning. I have no doubt it'll continue when I sleep next.

Since they'd started just about a week before the Chunin Exams (I didn't remember them at first, and if I did there was too little of anything to make sense of it), they'd been increasing in length and clarity.

But they still didn't make sense to me. What the hell are they supposed to mean?

I had managed to talk to some of the other guys when they visited or when Naruto dragged me to visit them, and we all concluded that we were having similar dreams.

I didn't tell them about the one I had of leaving Konoha, and I could tell they were also keeping some to themselves. So it's fair. Sort of.

Neji shared that both he and Tenten were having dreams of him dying. The same way.

Shikamaru and Chouji shared that they had dreams of Asuma dying.

Kiba and Shino had dreams of when many Shinobi were gathered together with the "Shinobi" headbands, with talks of war.

We decided to call those the "war dreams".

Since Sai couldn't speak, we decided not to ask him. Also, we didn't want to disturb him. He had enough to think about.

Gaara and Kankuro had dreams of Gaara being… Kazekage and him being kidnapped by people in black cloaks with red clouds, whom Kakashi identified as the "Akatsuki" – a band of incredibly strong, but evil ninja that remained shrouded in mystery.

Actually, we all had dreams of the Akatsuki. Even all of our sensei.

We kept a log of what they looked like and their names if we knew them. Though the only ones we knew the names of were Hidan, Zetsu, and my brother. Another one was Kakaru(5) or something.

For whatever reason, we agreed that we kept our talks a secret from the girls, though we may speak of our dreams occasionally; casually. For some reason, we felt that they had something to do with this, whatever this may be.

I couldn't allow myself to think about what that meant. I don't think the others did either – they wanted to trust the girls.

I wanted to trust Sakura.

And I feel-, no, I know that I can, but then why would she hide things like that from me? From anyone? Why, Sakura?

"Sasuke-kun? Are you paying attention?" Sakura's voice jarred me out of my thoughts.

I found her face close to mine and reddened. "What is it?"

She moved back. "I was wondering if you wanted the last piece of the mango."

I shook my head. "You could have it."

"Thank you!" she beamed, plopping the piece in her mouth. "Mm… this was a good one!"

I nodded.

She has a pretty smile...

If she keeps eating like that, I'm gonna wanna kiss those pretty, pink, lips of hers.

You're so-…

Right? Don't worry. I know.

No, that's not what I meant.

No matter. I am. That aside, what are you gonna do now? What's the plan?

My Inner was referring to my feelings for Sakura.

Yes, I admit I have them.

I like her.

More than I may admit.

I hope you cement that in your brain, because chances are, you won't be hearing that from me again.

I haven't told her though, and I don't really plan to.

She may suspect something, but she never says anything, and that's fine with me.

Nothing, I said in response to my Inner's question.

"Nothing"?! What?!

Just that. Nothing. Sakura isn't so shy to never make a move. Someday she will. She's already hinting at it.

Over the past few days, Sakura has held my hand, sat (very) close to me, and kissed my face in varying places multiple times.

If that doesn't mean that person likes you and they plan to make a move or do something, I don't know what does.

We haven't kissed on the lips since the motel, though. Not that I'm disappointed or anything. Riiiight.

"So Naruto's leaving tomorrow, huh?" I said, remembering Sakura was still here and that I can't let my Inner annoy me forever.

She nodded. "I'm gonna miss him. I'm sure we all will."

I nodded. "But someone else is going to miss him more." We both looked at the curtain, beyond which were Hinata and Naruto.

She nodded. "Just when he finally noticed her… at least he'll have more motivation to finish soon."

Due to Hinata's many visits, she and Naruto grew closer. In fact, late last night (actually, like two in the morning today) he confessed to me that he was beginning to grow a crush on her. He also apparently knew I liked Sakura.

How?

I don't know.


FLASHBACK


"Since I had given up on Sakura-chan, I decided to hang out with Hinata-chan more. I mean, she was in our class, too, right? I've spoken to the others in our class more than her and I have no doubt she's way better company than any of you guys are." He started, after a moment of silence after asking if I was awake as well.

"I invited her for ramen twice since the Prelims. But these past couple days are the most we've spent together, and I really like it." I could tell he was smiling as he spoke now.

"She's ridiculously cute, especially when she smiles that shy smile around me. Her skin is pale and pretty as snow, and her eyes are just so-… so-… pretty! I love them! If you look deep into them, you could see the slightly outline of a pupil…" He continued into a long spiel about how cute and pretty she is and what he likes about her.

I rolled my eyes.

I had a feeling he wouldn't shut up if I tried, so I decided to let him continue as I tuned him out.


I tuned back in when the spiel sounded like it was over.

"So… yeah… I think I like her. Actually, I'm pretty sure I do. I know what it's like to like someone. Sakura-chan, remember?" I nodded, though I knew he couldn't see it.

"Speaking of liking Sakura-chan, you do, don't you?"

"W-what?!" I sputtered in surprise, nearly falling out of bed. "What makes you think that?!"

"So you do." He said, not sounding surprised. "I'm your best bud, Teme, whether you admit it or not. I know you like the back of my hand. How long have you liked her?"

"… A while I guess." No use denying it now. It'd be a waste of energy.

Setting the tsundereness aside for honesty for once, eh? This is improvement! But don't totally get rid of the tsundereness. Girls dig it - it's cute to them. (6) Not that I really care about other girls, but I'm pretty sure Sakura likes it. So keep up the good work, Outer!

... I'm not sure how to respond to that.

"You admit it? Good!" He sounded surprised. "Did it start in the tent on that one mission?" What the-...

I thought for a moment.

"Probably."

"You started thinking of her as an important friend in the Forest of Death right? In the Chunin Exams?" How does Naruto know all this? I thought he was stupid and dense as a rock!

He is, just not when it comes to you apparently. I guess he just knows you that well.

Ugh. That makes me feel great. Not.

"I think," I replied.

"'Kay. Treat her right, got it? I won't forgive you if you break her heart, and Ino will be next in line to kill you. Karin seems to be protective and real close to her, too. Then there's the rest of our team, the other girls… bottom line, you're dead, 'kay?"

"Aa," I responded, just to satiate him. I didn't want to actually think about a relationship with Sakura right now. Revenge comes first… before feelings…

For some reason, that thought hurt. Isn't that what I wanted most? It's what I live for!

"She's liked you forever, so I don't think you'll have that hard of a time. Good luck, Teme."

"… Thanks, I guess, Naruto." I said, genuinely surprised.

"What are friends for?" I could feel him grinning widely on the other side of the curtain.

I chuckled. That's right… thanks.

"By the way, I'm still not sure why Hina-chan -that's what I call her now. Isn't it cute?- faints around me. Or fainted. She hasn't done it very often lately… Do you know why?"

Way to ruin the moment.

I actually facepalmed at the stupid question. "Goodnight!"

"What? No-, Teme!"

And to think I thought he was perceptive for a second there… Man, that was stupid of me., I thought.


END OF FLASHBACK


Sakura sighed. "At least they're making progress. Ino'll tease Hinata about this until they actually do something. Then Hinata's doomed."

It took me for a second to understand what she meant by "do something". Then, a question that popped into my mind blurted from my mouth without my consent.

"Has she started teasing you then?" Sakura blushed, understanding what I meant. I was referring to our kisses. That counts as "doing something". Right?

"A bit. She only suspects something happened, but doesn't know for sure… she's also a bit preoccupied right now to pry it out of me."

"Hn." I said in response. Poor Sakura.

She somehow must have heard what I was thinking or something or "translated" my "hn", (apparently, she and Naruto are experts on "the Language of the Stoic" as they call it) because she laughed lightly. "That's Ino for 'ya. She also thinks something's going on with Shikamaru and Temari. He better enjoy the peace while he can."

I chuckled. Shikamaru and that older Sand girl? Pretty unlike him… no wonder Ino's into it.

I sighed, leaning back into the raised top half of the bed. I can't believe I'm thinking this, but I think this'll be a pretty decent day. Almost good, even. I dunno. But I'm looking forward to it… for once.

I looked back toward Sakura's smiling face. Yeah… a nice day.


Sakura stayed for some more hours until I was discharged.

Hinata had left about an hour ago, and Naruto was snoring away, getting as much sleep as possible before Jiraiya picks him up. Which'll probably be around midnight… who knows. Why can't he discharge him at a reasonable time in the morning, since he'll be busy with Sai, too, tonight?

Maybe he likes the dramatic air of sneaking-out-but-not-really-sneaking-out.

Probably…

"Ready to go, Sasuke-kun?" Sakura said, picking up her things.

I nodded.


We headed first to my apartment.

The sun was coming down by now, and it was getting dark fast. It was mid-late-November after all(7); the sun isn't out as long.

Sakura didn't have to come, but she insisted.

I turned on the lights when I got in and head immediately to my kitchen to check what was still edible and not passed its due date.

Most of the food in the fridge, including the milk, was. I got rid of them.

Then, I made an assessment of what was left.

I didn't have enough necessary food for a decent dinner and breakfast.

There's ramen, I guess…. But I kind of don't want to eat it. For obvious reasons…

"Why don't you stay at my place for the night? We can have dinner and breakfast at my place and tomorrow morning we'll go out and buy you groceries. I'm sure you don't want to have to eat ramen or something."

I turned to her, moving away from my pantry. "You sure?"

She nodded. "Of course."

I thought about it for a moment. Why? It all sounds good to me.

"Then would you mind waiting as I take a shower and get some clothes?" I didn't like the showers at the hospital, and I haven't had one today anyway…

She smiled. "Not at all."

She took a seat, prepared to wait.


"Ready?" Sakura asked. "I'm gonna turn off the lamp."

She scooted closer to the edge of the bed so she could reach said lamp without getting out of the bed.

After dinner (we ordered Chinese takeout because we were lazy), I offered to sleep on the couch. But Sakura being Sakura wouldn't allow such a thing.

And I couldn't allow her to sleep on the couch because it was her freaking apartment!

So after polite arguments, we ended up sleeping in her bed together. Luckily, there was more than enough room for both of us.

I asked her why she had a big bed (I did too, but I was rich and got it because I felt like it), and she answered with, "The Landlord, when I first got this apartment, was holding a prize for the person who won a raffle. The prize, with reduced rent for the first two months, was this bed. I won it. I gave my old one to a charity."

Sounds like something she'd do... give her old mattress to charity or something.

I was under the blankets in nothing but some pajama pants I brought from my place –it was warm in her apartment, okay? And I normally sleep shirtless anyway!– and she was in a black tank top and short-shorts.

Awesome! My perv senses are tingling!

Dumbass.

But I couldn't help but blush for a moment when I remembered something about girls rarely wearing their bras to sleep.

Ha ha ha! Your hormones are doing their job!

Shut up!

I heard a click as she turned off the lights.

She scooted closer to me afterward, and stopped when she was less than a foot away. "Goodnight, Sasuke-kun."

"Goodnight, Sakura. Thanks for letting me stay here." I said.

"No problem."

We laid in silence as time stretched, getting sleepier and sleepier.

But for some reason, never fully succumbing.

Just hold her, damn it! You know you want to!

Which I did. My arms have been itching to do so since we were both settled in the bed, but I resisted.

Having her so close to me and not touching her was harder than I thought. Is this what it's like to like someone? It sucks.

But it's worth it! *wink*

"Sasuke-kun…" she muttered. "You awake?"

"Aa." I said softly.

"Could I… scoot closer to you?" I turned over to my left side to face her, and found that she was facing me. She blushed and looked down, when she noticed me looking at her. Then she looked up over my head when she noticed my naked chest, blushing even harder.

I smirked.

"Yes."

Shyly, she shuffled closer to me. We were just a couple inches apart.

She sighed in relief, as if she couldn't sleep without being closer to me as well and felt like she finally could now that she was.

But I wasn't satisfied. And deep down, I'm sure she wasn't either.

"Not enough…" I muttered, throwing my right arm over Sakura's waist, pulling her closer to me.

Soon, were almost chest-to-chest and her eyes were level with my neck.

"S-Sasuke-kun!" She exclaimed in surprise.

I kept my arm around her waist and tucked her head under my chin after kissing the crown of her pink head, unable to stop myself, pulling her ever closer.

"That's better…" I whispered.

I knew she was blushing fiercely, flustered, as her chakra fluctuated sporadically(8) and her body heat increased.

Hesitantly, she put her left arm over my own waist, pulling the blankets over my shoulders in the process. Her head was mostly covered as a result.

She pulled away from under my chin just enough to look me in the eyes.

She stared at me for a moment, not saying anything, with a blush still remaining on her features. The moonlight makes her even prettier right now…

I agreed with my Inner.

Then, as if finding what she was looking for, she rested her head again on her pillow and maneuvered closer to me again, almost resting on my shoulder.

"Goodnight, Sasuke-kun." She said again, a content smile on her face.

Unable to stop myself, I shifted slightly, and leaned down to her face.

She opened her eyes as I got closer, and then they began to close again as she realized what I was about to do.

"Sasuke-kun…" she murmured

"Goodnight… Sa-ku-ra." I whispered, splitting her name in the way I know she likes, and kissed her lightly on the lips.

She kissed back.

It was a short, but sweet and slow, kiss, and soon after, we parted. I pulled her again so she was closely against me in the middle of the bed.

My arms were wrapped around her, and her own rested against my chest. My head lay above hers, and I kissed her forehead as I felt her fade into sleep.

She smiled, though, so I knew she was conscious enough to feel it.

Then, her breathing evened and she fell asleep.

Soon afterward, I did as well, the object of my affections safely in my arms.


(1): The apple incident in the hospital in Part 1 of Naruto. Inner!Sasuke was spot on, though that's a weird way of putting it. Sakura wouldn't have purposely gotten a red apple that time, (for the irrational fear of that happening again - see? Trauma!) but it was all Hinata had left at that time and Sakura had nothing of her own, so she didn't have a choice.
(2):
Sakura told the girls about what happened, more or less, but mostly talked about the Roof Incident rather than the fruit. Hinata figured it out.
(3):
Remember? That didn't happen this time. Oh, and Sasuke did seem pretty jealous - especially in the manga. Pissed and jealous not only that Naruto was the person who actually saved her but jealous of Naruto's strength. Oh, Sasuke. You fool. You're lucky I love you and that so many others do, you dumbass.
(4):
Take a look at his face then and tell me those aren't the eyes of a madman. He was kinda out of it, especially right at that moment. He makes a point not to kill anyone and keeps others from getting killed, and all of a sudden he tries to kill Karin. Right. That makes sense. Not. He was crazed with revenge, people. Now that I think about it, he hasn't killed anyone has he? No, he hasn't. Itachi was already dying, and that one scene with the piles of people he was fighting/training with at Orochimaru's lair were all alive. Orochimaru asked why he hadn't killed them and he answered, "There's only one person I want to kill". And he didn't. Wow. That's lame. XD Poor Sasuke.
(5):
That's supposed to be Kakuzu. They weren't sure of his name. XD I didn't want to make it too weird because I wanted you guys to figure it out easily.(6): It's normally pretty cute. I love it, personally.
(7):
It's around the 15th-20th, I think... I don't feel like checking.
(8):
Haha... "sporadicry"... just watch "Hetalia Paint it White! Bloopers" on YT... I died. Now, every time I see "sporadically" I think of that blooper... and the weird thing was, Japan's and Germany's voice actors made the most mistakes and were the goofiest. The "serious" ones. Now that I think about it, Todd (N. Italy) made none that we saw... he didn't make mistakes in other anime bloopers either! Todd's just that good, I guess. XD But I have to say, that "hooker" line by Eric (America's VA) was the best one in that vid... Oh, Eric. You're gonna kill me here! XD

Just watch that vid even if you haven't seen the movie.

If you haven't started Hetalia, get to it. It's the funniest shit ever. But watch it in ENGLISH! There's accents and it's funnier cuz of the changed dialogue.

QotW: Are you pescatarian, (sp?) vegan, vegetarian, eat everything, follow the Jewish or Muslim diet, or what? Just curious.

QotW #2: Future ideas for this story? I need to write the next chappy soon, but I'm getting writer's block. So give me ideas, peeps! What do you want?

Love ya!

REVIEW!
