"Wow... It's just me and Aiko in my family." Raven said.
"Were you an only child?" Raven asked. Having a twin was nice and most of the time it was kids who grew up alone that wanted a twin.
Sasuke's tone brought Rukia to her senses. He was worthing living for. And now she had a daughter. She couldn't let that daughter grow up without a mother like she had. The machine next to Rukia's bed made a long, loud beep. Rukia's eyes opened.
"No." Raven said quickly. "We were born a year apart."
Rukia couldn't respond. She didn't want to try anymore. Life had been too hard and now it was just getting harder. If that was the way it is, she didn't want to do anything.
"Raven. My sister is Aiko." Raven said. She was glad she wasn't alone anymore.
Raven jumped. "Oh, hi. Yeah, I am. I don't want to get lost again."
Sakura nodded. "I know this means a lot to you Naruto..." Rukia's breathing slowed. She didn't remember who Madara was. Why should she fight to stay alive to prove someone she didn't remember wrong? Itachi had said she was weak, maybe he was right.
"As much as I don't want to, I'm gonna check out the layout here. I don't want to get lost again." Raven stood up and went into the hallway. She began tracing her steps back to the entrance.
Rukia could barely hear Sasuke but should make out his plead. She tried say something back, anything, but the best she could manage was a barely audible moan. "Tsunade-sama said it was from your father..." Sakura said.
Sakura sighed and shook Naruto. "Naruto, wake up."
"That's exactly what Naruto did..." Sakura muttered, hinting that the two were a bit alike. Satoshi sighed and folded her arms. This isn't a hard mission, but it's the area that bothers me.... Maybe I should talk to Gaara-sama.... No, he knows what he's doing and I shouldn't bother him over a decision he's already made.
Raven admired her handywork. "Well, it's sorta like home." She sat on her bed. "This place better not come alive or anything..." She looked at Aiko. "What? Anything's possible."
Sakura sweatdropped. "Well..." She heard Tsunade and opened the door for her knowing that keeping her waiting was not a good idea.
"He just came to see Hatsumi." Sakura said.
OOC: um... i'll just say what i always say: read the last ten pages ^^; BIC: Satoshi's alarm beeped. She rolled over and hit it off. Rubbing her eyes, she sat up and noticed the scroll on her desk. "Hm?" She fixed her hair and went over to the scroll. She opened it up and read it. "... A mission? A solo mission??" She reread it to make sure she didn't make a mistake."But that puts me close to the Sound Village..." She mulled it over for a while and finally decided that since Gaara was the one giving out missions there must be a meaning for it. Weird... She tossed the scroll on her bed and left her apartment, forgetting to lock the door. She started heading for Suna's entrance. "I don't know... Maybe you should talk to Tsunade-sama..." Sakura said.
Hikaru quickly followed. I wonder why he doesn't want anyone to hear... Could it really be that secret? Or is it something that only I'm meant to hear...?
Kairuto knelt by Becky and put an arm around her shoulders.
"You're right... Unless he's using some kind of jutsu..." Sakura said.
"His name was Madara, right? But what does that have to do with anything?" Sakura asked.
