[ 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. ]

They have to make their way back at some point, but for now, he'll just hold her. ]

[ just let her stay for a little while longer. She'll pull herself away in a few minutes. ]

We should go.

[ninjamom]

Mm. Are you going to be okay?

[pinupninja]

I'll be fine.

[ninjamom]

Ready to go, then?

[pinupninja]

[ in response, she steps back completely, braces herself, and leaps upward. He'll learn that he doesn't need to ask. ]

[ninjamom]

[ He shakes his head, and leaps after her. He will learn. ]

[pinupninja]

[ he will. And she'll learn how to read him a little better. ]
