A cute little moment featuring Sasori and Kagome which can definitely be associated with MCS: Everlasting.

"Hold on."
Sasori went no farther than he already had, the sixteen-year-old chuunin held in place by the firm grip on his sleeve. The frown that had earlier managed its way to his lips was still present, and he opted to keep his eyes forward in lieu of turning back to face her. After the subtle yet definite dispute that had minutes prior taken place between them, he was not quite willing to reconcile with the girl just yet. Perhaps he would consider doing so at a later, more appropriate time, namely after his awaiting mission. Maybe.
"Just promise me," Kagome said in a low voice, "that this time you'll return safely."
A breath he hadn't realized he was holding finally spared his burdened lungs, and Sasori's tense shoulders lowered as he replied, "…I promise you, Kagome."
She released him.
"Good! I'll be waiting for you Sasori." The anger that had previously laden her tone was now detectable no more.
Sasori turned to her, and in doing so he found that Kagome had her hands held behind her. Her eyes were on him and uncertain, gentle, in their concerned gaze—carrying a secret message in them. Don't ever scare me like that again. Okay?
The ill feelings between them dispersed as Sasori smiled a small smile.
I won't.
Insincerity is always weakness; sincerity even in error is strength.
