I humbly apologize for my failure to deliver last weekend in regards to Reverie. As compensation for my readers, I have over twenty prompts ready to be transcribed and uploaded. :)

Disclaimer: I suppose since these are required, I must say, "I do not own anything of this fic but the idea!"

"B-baka!" hissed Karin, thrusting her arm out immediately to the other young girl. "What the hell were you trying to do, get yourself killed?"

Kagome bit in to the offered appendage, eyes shut tight and her forehead slick with perspiration. She felt the miraculous chakra that was Karin's enter her body, and mend her internal wounds and pacify her throbbing muscles. The irksome twitching in her legs subsided, and she relinquished the generous portion of flesh from her teeth to fall back onto the browned arid grass.

When Karin spoke up again, her tone was low and lacking its earlier vehemence. "…I bet you actually believe that you're some stupid, invincible hero."

"Dai-jou-bu," Kagome dismissed lightly, opening her eyes at last to see the teary-faced kunoichi glaring at her. "You won't be rid of me anytime soon."

Karin dove forth to envelop the girl in a desperate hug, the tears racing down her cheeks.

"Ne, Karin… I don't think Orochimaru-sama will approve of you going soft…"


I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.

Author's Note: I don't exactly write… same-gender couplings. My intention is friendship, but I suppose those who want to see fluff, will indeed see it. Next is Uchiha Obito!
