Interlude - Omniscient - 6

Orochimaru tapped his long fingers on the desk, papers laid out in front of him. His eyes roamed over the statistics.

"Orochimaru-sama?"

Orochimaru did not respond to Kabuto right away.

"Your medicine, Orochimaru-sama."

"Leave it, Kabuto," Orochimaru rasped, a finger tracing along the names on the paper.

Kabuto quietly sat the medicine tray down on the desk, next to the papers. His eyes automatically rested on the papers, and he recognized the two names on it.

"Uchiha Sasuke and Yamanaka Nao?" Kabuto echoed, frowning.

"You know I desire the Sharingan, Kabuto, but this Yamanaka girl also has a unique kekkei genkai —something that is unlikely to occur again within several lifetimes," Orochimaru said blatantly, finally deigning to look over at Kabuto. "I believe. yes, I believe that I desire both of them now. Sasuke, alive, the girl. well, I'm sure I'll learn as much from her corpse as I would if she were alive."

Kabuto smiled coldly. "Understood, Orochimaru-sama."

. . .

. .

.

I relaxed in the hot water, completely at ease. There was a small group of women a little ways from me, but I chose to sit at the farther end, sort of my own isolation. Steam rose up from the water, and I watched, transfixed by it.

Letting out a small sigh, I tilted my head back, resting it against the stones and closed my eyes.

I wonder how the others are doing.? I trailed off in that line of thought. Ah. but I wonder. how this mission will go.? Not only are we supposed to watch out for a traitor —Sai— but as soon as we find proof tying him to Danzō , then Tsunade will undoubtedly make her move against the Elder. I hope Jiraiya is able to make contact with Itachi before that, though. I would really hate for Sasuke to find out the truth. to find out about that from the unveilings of the ROOT.

I opened one of my eyes —my good eye— and stared up at the blue sky. Then again. part of me doesn't really want him to ever find out. Even if Jiraiya manages to. to persuade Itachi and bring him back to Konoha to tell Sasuke the truth. how will Sasuke react? Would he even believe Itachi?

He has to, though. Otherwise. otherwise.

I stopped myself.

Slow down, Nao. You're getting ahead of yourself. First Jiraiya has to convince Itachi to return to Konoha. Itachi's been living a lie for so long, now. I'm not even sure he'd be willing to go along with the truth, even if Jiraiya points out that either Sasuke finds out through us or through Itachi himself.

Poor Itachi.

"Mind your own business!"

I froze, recognizing Naruto's furious voice.

"Damn it! You're always dick this, dick that; you're so annoying!"

There was a resounding smack and I heard Yagura say, "Idiot! Not so loudly."

The women started to giggle, and I sunk further into the water, my face flaming. I can't believe Naruto said the d-word so loudly in public!

"Ah! Nao! Don't listen to us!"

The women glanced over at me —apparently none of them were named Nao and they all knew each other so automatically concluded.— each of them laughing more loudly. I buried my face in my hands and dove under water.

Naruto, you idiot!

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

Wrapped firmly in my robes, I shuffled towards Yamato's room. Naruto and Sasuke both stepped out of their rooms and caught my attention. I blushed slightly. "O-Oh. have a nice bath?"

"It could have been better," Naruto muttered, rolling up the sleeves in his robe.

"Sai is a real nuisance," Sasuke agreed, glancing at me. "How was yours.?"

I blushed in embarrassment, recalling the women's laughter. "It could have been better."

"Oh, there you are, Nao."

I beamed, looking over at Yagura. "Sensei! Did you enjoy yourself?"

"About as much as I expected to," Yagura replied. "Let's head over to Yamato's room now, though. He and Kakashi are paying for the meal."

"Food?" Naruto perked up immediately. "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Without waiting for the rest of us, Naruto practically skipped down the hallway, opening the door to Yamato's room and heading in. The three of us exchanged amused looks before following after him.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

After the meal, I bode everyone goodnight before heading to my room. I changed into my pajamas —some shorts, and a cammie— and opened my window. I slung my legs over the side, and let out a slow breath.

I bit down on my index finger and moved my hands into the proper seals.

In a puff of smoke, a small creature fluttered before me.

~Hello, Nao-sama.~

I smiled, holding up my right hand as the creature landed gently on my finger. Her wingspan was no longer than my hand, and her wings were a pale blue in the center, but slowly became transparent further out. Her body was a pure white, and her large, black eyes stared up at me.

She relaxed her wings together, holding them perfectly vertical.

"Hello, Shiori," I whispered, holding her up so I could look at her at eye-level. "Would you mind telling the kaleidoscope that we may be encountering a very dangerous enemy within the week?"

Shiori fluttered her wings, dust falling off. ~Of course, Nao-sama. Who is the enemy?~

"Orochimaru."

Shiori was quiet a moment before she gracefully detached herself from my fingers, gliding on a small breeze. She floated up to me and landed on top of my head. ~You will be careful, Nao-sama, won't you? The kaleidoscope will help you in any way that we can.~

"I know you will," I assured her, "and I won't do anything stupid. don't look so surprised when I bring out the kaleidoscope."

~We will not. Pleasant dreams, precious child.~

In another puff of smoke, Shiori was gone. I looked down at my cold finger, and folded it against my hand for warmth. With my other hand, I brushed off the snow that had collected on top of my head from Shiori's stay.

There was a quiet knock on the door.

"Come in," I said, swinging my legs back into the room and standing up. as I closed the window, the door opened. I blinked in surprise. "Sensei? What's wrong?"

Yagura held a finger to his lips as he quietly shut the door behind him. "I received word from the frogs. Jiraiya's made contact with Itachi and will be engaging him in the morning."

"What about Kisame?" I asked, dropping my voice down to a whisper and tensing.

"Itachi sensed Jiraiya's presence ahead and separated himself from Kisame," Yagura responded.

Letting out a relieved breath, I relaxed.

"Are you prepared for the fight, little dove?" Yagura asked, already turning away.

"Always," I said.

"Good. Don't listen to that idiot, either," Yagura said over his shoulder as he headed out of the room.

I smiled softly, looking away. "Yes, Sensei."

Yagura snorted, and closed the door behind him.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

Bright and early in the morning, I trailed behind Kakashi. Naruto was sent to gather Sai and Sasuke —I had briefly seen the two conversing a while away, it looked like Sai was drawing something, but I wasn't close enough to see what it was— and I didn't particularly care for an interaction with Sai.

Kakashi looked around, Yamato and Yagura on both sides of him. "Let's see. who are we missing again?"

"You're joking, right?" Yagura asked sardonically.

Kakashi gave Yagura an eye-smile. "Me? Joke? Never."

Yagura scoffed and Yamato snorted.

"Stupid. little. shit-head." Naruto grumbled, moving towards us. Sasuke followed idly behind him, completely ignoring the smiling Sai that walked behind him.

"Naruto, what did I say about your language?" Yagura asked, a glint in his eyes.

Naruto straightened and whitened. "I-I ."

Yagura seemed to smile. "That's what I thought you said. Nothing. Now if everyone's here, I'd like to get a move on."

"Hai, Taichou."

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ

The journey to the checkpoint was made in mostly tense silence. When we went off-road to lessen the chance of being noticed, it didn't do anything to help Naruto's mood. However, soon reached the bridge.

It was decided that Yamato would impersonate Sasori (as he was the best suited for it). I hid in the bushes, in between Kakashi and Sai, while Yagura, Naruto and Sasuke hid in some bushes a ways from us.

I watched as the events unfolded on the bridge, tense and ready for the signal.

I couldn't make out a word they were saying, however, I felt a small thrill of fear run through me when I saw none other than Orochimaru appear on the bridge, as Yamato pulled out a kunai.

Kabuto leapt away from Orochimaru and stood in front of Sasori, his back to him. I still couldn't make out his words, but I was already tensing. Kabuto's right hand glowed blue, and my single eye widened as he whirled around and sliced straight through Yamato's disguise.

Yamato leapt out in time, landing on the bridge.

"Cover has been blown. Go," Yagura said, his voice carrying over to us.

I jumped out of the bushes, landing on the bridge beside Sasuke and Yagura, my posture tense and alert.

"My, my, it seems as if my source was right on the money. Well, we might as well have a little fun together, but on out, you two."

Two more cloaked figures appeared on the bridge, both standing on either side of Orochimaru. Each had their hoods down and both were very familiar to me. A woman with blue hair and black eyes eyed us indifferently.

(Gleaming crystal)

But it was the boy with the shockingly bright orange hair on the other side that drew my attention. He was steadily looking down and away, a loathful gaze in his eyes, but it was not directed at us, not even in the slightest. And there, beneath the surface, I could feel something throbbing inside of him.

(Madness)

"I'd like you all to meet Jūgo and Guren," Orochimaru said, smiling smoothly. "When I caught wind of such a special group coming all the way out to meet me, well."

"And you that?" Yagura asked smoothly.

Orochimaru laughed. "It doesn't matter now; they're dead."

Yagura snorted. "I'm sure they are. Orochimaru, I don't suppose you'd be willing to surrender quietly and save us the trouble?"

"Where would the fun in that be? Besides, I wouldn't get my new toys if I did that."

My heart faltered and in that instant, I felt fear.

"You won't be getting anything, except perhaps death," Sasuke growled, moving to position himself in between Orochimaru and myself. "We won't allow you take away our comrade. Not this time. Not ever."

Orochimaru appeared mildly interested in Sasuke's words. "Who says it was her I wanted?"

Yagura's head snapped in my direction, before moving back to Orochimaru. "It doesn't matter who or what you want. You are not touching her."

Orochimaru laughed, and I felt my stomach churn with disgust at the sound. "It wasn't even her I was originally after, you know. If you give me the Uchiha boy and her, though, I might let the rest of you go free."

"No way in hell!" Naruto howled, his eyes no longer blue, but instead a deep red. "No fucking way!"

"Why so touchy?" Orochimaru asked condescendingly. "Don't think you could handle protecting them? You're right. You can't."

Red chakra flared around Naruto, and I could feel Sasuke tense beside me, along with Yagura. Naruto didn't seem to notice, so intent on glaring furiously at Orochimaru.

"You.I won't forgive you for what you did, for what you tried to do," Naruto said lowly. "You almost took my family away from me. I won't forgive that!"

"Poor you," Orochimaru said dismissively, before he pulled out three slips of paper and threw them on the bridge. Immediately, I prepared to leave should they prove to be explosive tags, but the lines drawn on them were unlike anything I had ever seen.

I stared in disbelief as three figures grew from bridge, right where each seal was. Surprise colored my features as they finished growing, revealing themselves to be Kakashi, Yamato, and Yagura.

"What?!" Yagura growled, and I could feel the annoyance radiating off of him.

Orochimaru gestured lazily to the trio. "Don't mistake them as clones. I knew you were coming, and I set up special seals on your end of the bridge long before you even entered this land! I created these seals during my stint with the Akatsuki. I believe they even use them to this day, but these seals are far superior. I had them specially made to latch onto you three, and to mimic you. I can't exactly have the three commanders free to do as they please, can I?"

Yagura took a menacing step forward, pulling out his staff. "You've sealed your fate, Orochimaru. To hell with taking you captive, I'll kill you myself!"

Orochimaru only smiled, as if he were a master, pleased by a trick his pet had done. Yagura's free hand clenched into a fist, but he quickly brought his staff down into a defensive position when the clone-version of him slammed his own staff against him. The force, however, was enough to send Yagura flying backwards and off the bridge. The clone version of him wasted no time in leaping towards him, twirling his staff.

I had to drag my eyes away from my sensei when the familiar sound of the Chidori rang through the air and the clone Kakashi charged at the real Kakashi.

"I see," Kakashi muttered, leaping up. "Trying to get us off the bridge and away."

"Is it working?" Orochimaru asked, laughing.

"Shut up! Get rid of your fucking clones right this instant!" Naruto howled, wind whipping around him.

"Naruto," Sasuke snapped, "calm down."

"No, don't," Orochimaru laughed. "Ah, well, it doesn't matter, though. The clones will distract them long enough, and I will take the two I have come for."

"The hell you will," Naruto snarled, spreading out his arms in front of Sasuke and myself. "I won't let you. I won't fucking let you!"

Another burst of chakra radiated from him, and the red chakra that had wrapped around him fluctuated.

"Naruto!" Sasuke threatened.

Naruto didn't seem to be listening to him, though.

"It doesn't matter what you try, boy," Orochimaru said, amusement gone from his face and tone. "You failed already in trying to defend one of them —kidnapped right from under your noses and you lost control trying to save her. You're useless."

"Shut up!" Naruto snarled, dropping down on all fours and shaking furiously. "Shut up, or I' I'll."

"Allow me to handle him, Orochimaru," Kabuto said smoothly.

"No, Kabuto. This boy is out of your league and I need him out of the way before I take on Sasuke and the girl. However, I'm sure you and Guren can distract Sasuke long enough for me to deal with him. As for you, Jūgo. Kimimaro failed to bring me this girl; he actually died failing. Will you honor his sacrifice and succeed, Jūgo?"

The boy looked torn for a moment, before he lowered his gaze. "I will."

"What are you waiting for?"

Now knowing who I would be facing, I took Jūgo's hesitation to my advantage. I sprinted towards him, bunching up chakra in my feet before jumping up and kicking him square in the chest. He was sent hurtling to the other side of the bridge.

"Nao," Sasuke said sharply, and Naruto snapped his head in my direction.

I didn't falter, only tossing over my shoulder, "I'll be fine!"

I pulled my goggles down over my eyes, as I reached the other side of the bridge. I had to get Jūgo away from the others first, I couldn't risk them getting caught in my jutsu.

He's after me, I thought, so he'll chase after me.

Taking a deep breath, I turned on my heel and sprinted into the forest.

Exactly twenty-seven seconds after I started sprinting, I felt his presence behind that wasn't quite right. Earlier, his chakra had been stable, flat. Now, though, his chakra seemed to radiate unnatural spikes, and he reeked of killing intent.

I back flipped from a tree branch, the hair on the back of my neck rising. The tree branch I had been on moments ago splintered into twigs as Jūgo slammed into it. Leaping high into the air, I quickly surveyed the distance.

It was far enough. I dropped back down onto the tree tops. Looking down, I couldn't clearly see Jūgo below me. My tree shook for a second, before it started to fall. Quickly, I jumped onto the next tree, but not even a second after my feet touched the top did it start to fall, too.

He's knocking over the trees so casually, I thought, leaping to another one. then another and another. His strength must be enormous, and his speed isn't anything to sniff at. But he's knocking over trees instead of coming up and attacking me directly —there's no tactical thinking in his strikes. The madness that I felt from him and now this state. the two have to correlate somehow.

Jūgo had made a small clearing, and when he knocked over yet another tree, I decided enough was enough.

I leapt down onto the grassy floor, turning slowly to face him.

Half of him was no longer human.

A sort of black-brown mass had consumed half of his features, and his arm was enlarged and oddly shaped. There were tubes forming out of his back, and his eyes were no longer the same color. His left eye was black, with a golden pupil. He grinned anxiously at me, excitement gleaming in his blackened eye.

"I don't really know why Orochimaru-sama wants you and I don't particularly care," Jūgo snickered, his voice changing throughout the sentence, partway through his normal voice, and partway through an almost screech. He was giggling. "But I do know that I'm allowed to kill you to get to you and that sounds dandy."

He clapped his hands. "Let's have some fun!"

I spaced out my feet, straightening and shifting stances. Immediately, Jūgo charged and I spun to the right to avoid him. He slammed into the ground, but was back up within seconds and charged again, giggling. He swung his left arm at me, and his large hand nearly caught me, but I ducked underneath.

Again, he moved towards me, and again, I moved away.

It doesn't seem like I can tire him out, I thought, ducking underneath. At least, though, he moves in a predictable, linear pattern. Probably attributed to his madness.

I narrowly avoided another punch. But I won't be able to attack if he's going to keep this up. He's too fast. I'll have to create an opening.

I let out breath, and started to focus solely on Jūgo .

like with Yagura attacking. It's like with Yagura. You can do it, Nao.

My chakra slithered out and slowly started to wrap around Jūgo.

However, when Jūgo swung his hand down on me, my concentration broke, adrenaline spiking through me as I was forced to roll away. I popped back up onto my feet and leapt backwards, in time for Jūgo to slam into the ground, exploding it underneath him.

He threw back his head and laughed. "Dance, little birdy! Dance!"

As he laughed, I took that moment to bring forth my chakra again. The moment my chakra was firmly wrapped around him, he stopped laughing.

Sharp pain blared inside my head, and I bit down on my tongue to keep from making a sound.

He's insanely strong, I thought, as Jūgo started struggle against my hold. But I have to hold on. a little longer.

I shakily held up my hands and bit down on both of my thumbs. The moment I started the first seal, I lost concentration on holding him, and blinked back the dizzying sensation that came over me. He howled in annoyance, but before he could charge, I slammed my hands into the ground.

White erupted around us as butterflies streamed about.

Jūgo's head snapped around. "What the fuck is this shit?!"

"Your defeat," I muttered, as the butterflies clouded my view of him. I could see their white wings, fluttering around, swarming us. I could differentiate each one, and leading them, circling high above was Shiori.

Even though I could not see, I could hear his laughter. "Then I better. step it up a level. AHAHAHAHAHEHEHE!"

A sharp spike in chakra radiated from him, and my heart tightened and stomach dropped. Ignoring my worry, though, I formed my hands into the lamb seal. "Shiro no Sekai."

Within seconds, the kaleidoscope started to blend together, their colors and forms melting and dissolving into a giant whiteness. Coldness gripped the air and my breath came out in wisps.

I could see Jūgo again, and there wasn't anything human about him anymore. He was looking around, snapping his head in one direction from the next, his eyes darting about. His skin was a dark gray-brown, and muscles bulged from him. He had pipes of sorts growing out his back and his hands looked more akin to claws. Both of his eyes were black with golden pupils, and somehow his hair looked even brighter.

"What is this?!" He snarled, looking around, and his bare feet crunched in the snow.

Snowflakes drifted around, falling to the floor and slowly covering it in white. White was as far as we could see, and to all appearances, we were no longer at the bridge.

"Where the fuck are we?!" Jūgo demanded, searching around for anything he recognized.

I let out a slow breath, and the snow blew around me. I could feel myself loosening, dissolving, almost. I knew logically I wasn't, that my chakra was slowly seeping out and mixing in - ten percent to be exact. And while I knew we were still at the bridge, it was a little strange to only see white.

Adjusting my goggles, I took a small step towards Jūgo, looking down at the ground. No footsteps were made, and not a sound was heard.

Good, the jutsu is in place.

"It's a special jutsu," I said, hearing my voice echo all around. Jūgo snapped his head about, unable to pinpoint where my voice was coming from. "Only those in contracts with the butterflies may use it. While the butterflies. they are not especially skilled in combat, they excel in support. They can only hold one contractor, because they can only be especially born to one contractor."

"I don't understand a word you're fucking saying," Jūgo growled.

"I mean," I said carefully, "that they are born specifically for their contractor. Upon making a contract with the butterflies, the shinobi must give fifty percent of their chakra, and one liter of blood to them every day for one lunar cycle. The butterflies use their chakra and their blood to create a kaleidoscope especially suited for them. For example, if a lava-user contracted with them, then each butterfly created would be able to utilize the lava-style.

"I could, I suppose, have strictly asked them to remain to one of my two natures, but my sensei, who gave me this contract, had a better idea. This jutsu was born to go hand in hand with my own created jutsu, because you see. my jutsu, my Tōketsu-Raiton, is able to freeze. These butterflies were meant to compliment the cold, to enhance it. When I use my Tōketsu-Raiton in this world they created, it will be three times more powerful," I said, slowly sliding into an offensive stance. "They were made to support me, to support my Tōketsu-Raiton, and that is why they created this world. This world is them, and their chakra is mine to draw on. And best of all, by dispersing my chakra into them, and by having my blood course inside of each them, . do. this!"

I sprinted to Jūgo, but of course, he did not hear, see, or sense me. The snow that fluttered about was in fact butterflies, each dispelling a genjutsu. Because they all had a piece of me inside them, and my chakra was the heart of this jutsu, not even a sensor could find me.

My Tōketsu-Raiton formed into a scythe and I sliced into his arm. Ice formed around the wound, and Jūgo cried out, his eyes wide with rage. He swung at me, but I was already back-flipping away, gone to his eyes.

I felt confident in using this jutsu against Jūgo . It was one of the only two jutsus that I could utilize the butterflies in. It had its drawbacks, true, but all jutsus did. It wasn't a true genjutsu, so much as a layered ninjutsu. To the outside world, it would appear as if a white box sat in the middle of a forest —very visible from a mile away, so it was useless in covert missions. It also meant that it was breakable. The opponent could very well keep hammering away at a small section of the ninjutsu, and while it would heal itself at first, it wouldn't last long. The ninjutsu only stayed up for as long as I had chakra, and the butterflies lived. If he destroyed enough of the wall, he could potentially use up enough of the chakra to cancel the ninjutsu, or kill enough of them (since they essentially were the walls) to end it.

Not to mention restoring the kaleidoscope after such a loss would take a couple lunar cycles, and quite a bit of blood. And while I could draw upon chakra, that was also limited. I couldn't draw upon too much, or else the whole thing would be canceled.

Thankfully, though, I had already established that Jūgo ran in a linear pattern and while he was in this state, he was no tactician. I felt confident enough that he wouldn't figure out it wasn't a genjutsu and start hammering away.

Still. I had to end this quickly before he decided to start firing off at random and damage the kaleidoscope.

Jūgo clutched his injured arm, scowling furiously. He then ripped the useless appendage off. My eye widened as a new one, one that wasn't dead from frostbite, grew in its place.

"Is that the best you got?" Jūgo challenged, his teeth bared.

"I'm getting started," I muttered.

I swung my scythe before I flickered towards him, slicing into his new arm and then turning around and lopping off the other one. I was at his back during this, and the pipes glowed briefly. Shock had me falter a moment before I started running backwards. However, it was a little too late and the energy that had been gathering in the pipes released, slamming into me and sending me hurtling into the ground.

Pain radiated from my chest and I had difficulty breathing. From experience, I knew my ribs were at the very least bruised, if not some of them broken. I bit down on my bottom lip, and struggled to stand up. I coughed a bit, wiping away at the blood that I had spat out of my mouth.

"Annoying," I growled, as two fresh appendages took the place of his old ones. Raising my voice, I said, "You can't keep growing them forever."

"Watch me," Jūgo snickered.

Taking a steadying breath (and wincing in the process), I started to run towards him again. I swung my scythe, watching it glow brightly, before I slammed the blunt end into the back of his head. He was sent sprawling into the ground. Not wasting a minute, I released my Tōketsu-Raiton, wrapping my chakra around him instead.

He didn't struggle immediately —and I assumed he was dazed— and I channeled chakra into my hand. I slammed my hand into his head, hearing a satisfying crack underneath me.

He sagged, and I slowly watched as his skin started to return to a lighter color.

I let out a slow breath of relief.

"Thank you," I said, slowly falling to my knees, shakily.

~Happy to help, Nao-sama.~

In a plume of smoke, the white world was gone and I was left, tired, with an unconscious Jūgo.

Still. that went almost too easy. He was insane, but. he didn't attack while in the Shiro no Sekai. It was almost like. it was almost like he was hesitant. Like he didn't want to.

(Pacifist)

He didn't want to fight me.

(He didn't want to fight at all)

I don't think. I don't understand why, exactly.

(Orochimaru broke his promise to keep him out of the fighting)

I shook my head, ending my train of thoughts and turning my head.

It was time to set focus on what the others were doing.

An explosion shook the scene, and I stood up.

Better hurry.

Interlude - Nao - 6

I paced outside the interrogation room. Hours had passed —it was nearly midnight!— since we had arrived here in the early morning. Ino sat anxiously in a chair, watching me pace nervously. Tsunade (and Shizune) had entered the interrogation room roughly two hours into it. Shikaku followed after her within the next hour, along with the ANBU Commander. No one had left the interrogation room since.

"Nao. it's going to be okay."

Butterflies raced in my stomach, and my heart skipped a beat when Ino's voice brought me out of my trance. I stopped pacing, looking at her with a torn expression.

She smiled gently, gesturing to me. "Come here, little sis."

Obediently, I moved to stand in front of her. She motioned with her hands for me to turn around and I obliged. She then placed both her hands on my shoulder and forced me to sit down in front of her. She pulled the goggles off my head, setting them on the chair next to her. She rummaged through her bag for a moment before pulling out a brush.

Gently, she started to brush my hair. I closed my eyes, finding myself relaxing minutely.

"Don't worry about it, precious one," Ino whispered. "Everything will be okay. I promise."

Giving up on resisting, I sagged. I was tired and I wanted to sleep, but I didn't dare.

Softly, Ino started to hum.

Unable to help myself, I began to drift off.

Question: In your dreams, it rains. what? (i.e., it rains. chocolate, people, cats & dogs, etc.)

Reviews are love!
