"Sasori? Do you remember what these crystals do? Remember I gave you some to protect yourself? These 38 represented our days before you returned to the Akatsuki; the days we spent together. We parted ways on the day I gave you this. We made a pact in blood that no matter what happens, we would remain friends and never hurt each other. This pact still holds strong. That's why you'll live to see tomorrow. Goodbye Sasori. I have a tail to catch." Makoto took one glance at him.
Sasori met her glance and saw all the sadness locked away in its bottle. He wouldn't get the chance to see her weak again. Makoto bowed and ran off. Sasori vanished in what he felt was sadness. Makoto taught him that emotion. She taught him others too. Sasori felt like blushing…
Makoto almost nabbed Oni's tail when he sped off faster and won. Grumbling, Makoto handed him three dragon crystals that seemed to scream in agony. Oni flicked his tail in happiness as he ate them from her hand as his body pulsated. He grew a hand taller.
Makoto sighed, pushed her hair back, and walked off with Oni at her side licking his lips happily.
"You know I was faithful! That guy needs to quit being so rude! Asagi transformed into Itachi and kissed me right when Sasori turned the corner! She just didn't want me to have him! She said I deserved better! She didn't want me a puppet! Ah! When he saw me sprawled out on Itachi's bed in agony, it should've been clear I was raped! He could at least assume it was Itachi that raped me! Oh no, he thought it was mutual. Itachi never laid a hand on me! It was Pein damnit! He made Asagi his pawn in his dirty plan. He raped me after everything pointed to Itachi! Ah!" Makoto punched a wall cracking it. Her hands bled. "Let's go eat something. Tomorrow this will all be a dream." Makoto tended to rant aloud when she was very upset. It was a bad habit of hers...
The next day, her past came back to haunt her. Sighing, she took out a dragon crystal. Oni whimpered. He tried to make her drop it. Makoto hissed and downed it. She frantically looked around until she calmed when she found a match. She struck it against her leg and tossed the lit match down her throat. Makoto smiled. Sadly, she wouldn't be able to open her mouth unless she wanted to hurt people. Oni whimpered and licked her leg. Tears came down her face. It seemed like they said, "She's fallen again."
