[ There is silence for a long, long time--He'd died, on that trip. He should be dead. Yet...here he was, a-ok. Breathing. Alive
The hell... ]
Hey...is everyone who went on that exploration trip okay? I--[ I died. I should be dead. ]--wanted to make sure those skin stealing bastards didn't get their hands on [ sakura ] anyone else, yeah? Just...let me know everything turned out okay.
Heh...they couldn't keep me down for long, huh? Yeah yeah, I'm too cool to be gone for good. [ He tries to sound boastful. Obnoxious. Like himself. It sounds forced, though. He's too worried about Sakura and the others.
If they had died...would they come back, too? ]

After... you left we got attacked by raiders. A.. number of us didn't make it back.

No, it's fine. I don't blame you for not being there. Things just.. happened.

((Her hands tighten; she's checking to see if he really was... real. That he was truly standing in front of her and not some sort of dream. Her hands slide down his arms before finally they drop at her shoulder. She keeps the smile on--she shouldn't have cried.))
Do you need anything..? I'm not.. really sure what I can do for you. I guess I didn't really expect this... ((her head drops down.))
1/3
[ She was the most important thing right now, and seeing her okay and acting like herself was what he needed. He wanted to know everything that happened on that trip, as well, but that was something he wasn't about to ask her. No, he would ask the others.
Something was bothering him, though. Nagging at him in the corner of is mind, making him feel as though he were missing something. As though he-- ]

actually you know I'll just let you know when I'm done!

Someone would have to know him really well to tell any difference.
But what then? ]

The cut. The way she was acting, as though he might not be real...it hurt to think about. He didn't want to imagine the possibility, the chance that the fake him had hurt her in some way, attacked her while her guard was down. So he denies it. There's no way. Maybe one of the others noticed. Maybe...B-Besides, Sakura...would tell him, right? She wouldn't lie about--
Only she would, and he knows it. She did when he's lost control and hurt her, and she would to it again. To spare his feelings. to make sure things stayed okay. So the chance of something happening and her not saying a word about it? It wasn't something he should rule out.
And Marco. Marco had been evasive too.
...
His face goes pale, color and expression draining from it until there's just a look of pure shock and pain, his hands shaking slightly at his sides, until he clenches them into a fist to keep them from doing so. ]
no subject
but it wasn't me--
but it was wearing my skin. I should have been there to stop it. To protect her.
...I failed her again. ]
no subject
[ He takes a small step backwards.
I hurt her. I failed her. ]
done. sorry for barfing emotion all up in here.
He wants to hold her close and apologize. To promise to make it up to her. But he'd failed her. He'd gone and gotten himself skinned--and it used that to hurt her.
He didn't want to see her crumble again. To see how much this had hurt her--Not when he was supposed to be the one making everything okay. So he just stands there dumbly, trying to grasp at something to say.
But he can't.
What is there to say? To do? How could he ever hope to make up for this? ]
the barfing of emotionsis acceptable, aslo 1/?
Re: done. sorry for barfing emotion all up in here.
Even if he was... if he had figured it out, she couldn't say anything. She would still lie and deny all the things that had happened. Recalling killing him--or rather, the fake--was hard enough as it was. Nor.. seeing as Naruto returned, could she admit how glad she was to have her revenge. She'd killed the fake and got the one person back who'd ever cared about her so strongly.
The last few weeks.. they seemed to finally shape exactly how much Nrauto meant to her. As it would nag her in the future? Sasuke's point of view can only become more apparent.))
3/3 oh what a lovely short spam
((She starts right back in with denial. She wasn't going to call Naruto out when he was just the same trying to hide his feelings as she muted her own.))
no subject
No, I'm fine. [ He's not fine. Actually, he kind of feels like he's going to heave. ] I don't need anything, okay? I'll be...I'll be fine.

Remember when I said he felt like heaving? Yeah, he's just going to turn and make a mad-dash for the bathroom brb. ]

A pause and she listens. Her hands reach around her body and she rubs her own arms as if to comfort herself. He probably already knew; it was too hard to hide it from him after how hard it struck her.
The pause seems to last until she can't hear anything any more. She brings her feet to motion, leaving behind imprints on the old, worn out carpet as she moves towards his bedroom. Something was amiss there, she...))
