Ninja shenanigans

[pinupninja]

[ there are very few fights where Kasuga has found herself backed - no, slammed into a corner, and she's loath to admit it, but without Sasuke, she can't confidently say she would still be alive.

But she is, and he is, and although their opponent still lives, he's doing so at a safe distance-- far enough for Kasuga to dazedly drag herself up against a nearby tree and fumble for her medical kit. Sasuke-- she'd lost sight of him, and she leans back against the trunk with a ragged breath before she turns her head to see if she can spot him now. ]

You know they demolished the whole compound once.

[pinupninja]

... Is that something you should be saying so cheerfully??

[ninjamom]

[ He shrugs, perching on the edge of the roof ] It's absurd, but you get used to it.

[pinupninja]

Or you have to be absurd enough yourself...

[ninjamom]

Hey now, I'm the sanest person in this place!

[pinupninja]

That's not exactly comforting!

[ninjamom]

What's that supposed to mean?

[pinupninja]

That you're hardly sane.

[ninjamom]

I am too sane.

[pinupninja]

[ she moves closer to the edge of the roof, peering off of it absentmindedly. ]

Anyone who finds it normal that their lord regularly punches a general through several layers of wall...

[ninjamom]

One of these days you're just going to find yourself thinking "oh, they're at it again", and then you'll be just like me.

[pinupninja]

... I would never.

[ she looks so scandalized. ]

[ninjamom]

Oh, it'll happen. It's inevitable.

[pinupninja]

Don't you have anything else to do?

[ninjamom]

No. I have the day off, remember?

[pinupninja]

That doesn't mean you have to spend it up here!

[ninjamom]

Last I checked, you're not the only one allowed on rooftops.

[pinupninja]

Last I checked, this isn't the only rooftop.

[ninjamom]

I just wanted to see how you were doing. Is that a crime?

[pinupninja]

... [ a sigh. ]

Sasuke, you should stop.

[ninjamom]

... Pardon?

[pinupninja]

You're worrying too much, over another ninja.

[ she doesn't want him too close, much closer than he's already gotten. Loving a lord is one thing, but a romance between ninja? One may be futile, but the other promises to be even more painful. ]

[ninjamom]

[ Sasuke, on the other hand, tries to brush it off. He knows, oh does he know, how badly this could end, but try as he might, he just... can't not worry about her. He's tried. ]

What? We both went though a lot yesterday. I just wanted to make sure you were upright.

[pinupninja]

I made it back even with you leaning on me, didn't I?

[ never mind that she'd done her fair share of leaning. ]

[ninjamom]

You were leaning too. Besides, I'm not the one who fell asleep in the middle of the hallway.
