六十七; 「voice」

[saucey]

[His voice is hard, and sharp. It doesn't sound as if he's leaving room for argument.]

Kakashi.

That training.

Comments

[No rest for the weary.] ...sure.

[saucey]

[He's tired of mourning and being an emotional wreck.]

Thank you.

No. You're not. You're busy for the next two months, Kakashi. Get your ass over here first thing in the morning.

And if I catch you with that brat, it's gonna be your ass on the line.

[There is 'no' joke in her tone. At all.]

[Private//Unhackable//Video] One might ask what you want my ass for...

[turn-a-blindeye.livejournal.com]

...Understood.

However, with all due respect, Hokage-sama...I have to decline. I have a team to maintain. We just lost one member. I can't afford to lose another team-member now, even one so volatile.

So unless you can present me with a better option for keeping Sasuke with his team, I cannot accept your orders.

[purevermillion.livejournal.com]

Sasuke.

[saucey]

Itachi.

[purevermillion.livejournal.com]

[hits-then-heals.livejournal.com]

Be careful, Sasuke.

[saucey]

Hn.

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

...Training?

[saucey]

That's what I said.

[iceandivory.livejournal.com]

...Any particular type, or do you just plan to ram your head into a wall?

[Ironic, but not spoken quite rude enough to be sarcastic or sardonic.]

[visionofblood.livejournal.com]

Sasuke ...

[saucey]

Izuna.

[visionofblood.livejournal.com]

Would you like to stop by this afternoon? We can spar, you and I. [And by 'spar' he means token fight and then squish you a little, nephew. He's figured out what happened from listening to the network and knows what it's like to lose a brother.]

[dualwielded.livejournal.com]

That training?

[saucey]

Heard me.

[Private]

[dualwielded.livejournal.com]

[Hoshit, he recognizes that tone. He's used it himself.]

And you didn't explain it. What does it involve?

[al_truism]

[... he can't say a thing, can't scold him the way Itachi is, but it's... trippy to hear it again, the same things he heard the man tell him long ago.

... he knows what it's like to lose people, to lose them repeatedly. He knows what it's like to bury himself in training and work to drown the feeling of loss.]

You'll be out late, won't you? I'll put together a basket for dinner.

[saucey]

Yeah. Thanks.

[al_truism]

When do you think you'll be back?

[Casual.]

VOICE

[goldenbooze.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.]

You'll never be man enough to take me on, will you squirt.

VOICE

[saucey]

This has absolutely nothing to do with you, hag.

[ff_red_turk]

...

[saucey]

What?
