He was in view now. Aimi ran to catch up with him. She jumped in his path. He stopped and looked at her. "Hello Aimi." he said, looking down. "Sasuke, you cant run away," Aimi got down to the point. "This isn't running away." Sasuke replied. Aimi shook her head. "This is, Sasuke." she replied. He just stared at her. "This is not running away. Move, now," Sasuke said sternly. "What you said in Latin," Aimi said. This caught his attention. "If you meant it, you wouldn't do this to me," Aimi said. "It might take a while for you to realize, but I am doing this for you, not to you. You'll realize in due time I am nothing to you," he said, staring past her now, not wanting to see her eyes.

"Don't leave, please," Aimi pleaded, tears in her eyes. "Don't cry Aimi," Sasuke said, "Its useless." Aimi shook her head. He leaned in and gave her a soft kiss. "Ego would intereo vobis," he said, pulling away. More Latin. "What?" Aimi asked. She closed her eyes, waiting for him to answer.

When she opened them again, Sasuke was gone.

"Kakashi…" Aimi asked, "I need more Latin help…" Kakashi sighed. "Don't look so sad, girl," he said. "He left, he really left." Aimi said. "He…did…" Kakashi looked sad, but nodded. "Left." he said, closing the discussion. "What does 'Ego would intereo vobis' mean?" Aimi asked. He looked it up. He looked back up at Aimi. "Where do you hear these things?" he asked. "Just tell me what it means." Aimi replied dully.

"It means, 'I would die for you'."
