AN: Hello again!
I apologize for the slightly late update... I've seem to hit a bit of a snag. That plot-twist in the last chapter...sorry 'bout that peeps XD
Although the alterations that caused will bring me some trouble when I continue to write, but I just couldn't stop myself! You have to admit, it was too good an opportunity to pass up! (At least for me (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و )
I also seem to be having some trouble figuring out how to finish this story. Should I make two books, one for "Naruto" and another for Shippūden? Or not make another book at all? I'm conflicted! Help me please, what do you think I should do?? ˚‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚
Sasuke POV
In the darkness of my room, the familiarity gave me a slight amount of comfort. Cei was beside me, and I was gripping her wrist with an iron grip. It should have soothed the uneasiness in my heart, but even so I couldn't force myself to be completely calm.
But even with her so close to me, my heart felt uneasy. She said we would not be able to see her for a while. How long is 'a while'? Is she going far? Is she going to be safe? Is she going to come back? The thoughts would not leave me alone, my worries eating me up from the inside.
I was missing her already.
But then... she said she'd be with me. Always. My brows couldn't help but furrow at that. Doubt, clouding my very soul. But...
With her standing so close to me, I felt safe.
When she stroked my hair, I felt warm.
When her enchanting voice wove songs around me I felt like I would never be lonely.
She had said such strange things... about my revenge, and something about farewell gifts...
About power.
I wanted to stay awake, voice all the questions plaguing my heart, but couldn't resist her enchanting voice that seemed to weave a sphere of safety and sleep around me.
Soon, I couldn't fight it anymore and succumbed to the sweet sleep her presence offered. For the first time since that night, I slept soundly. No fear or loneliness. Just warmth.

When I try to recall what happened next, it's like my mind revolts against me.
What happened after was a blur. Suddenly a sharp pain pierced through the cocoon of safety and warmth Cei's presence had wrapped me in. But the pain disappeared as soon as it had come. What remained was just a kind of sting, and a crawling sensation.
I whimpered slightly at the uncomfortable feeling.
That night, I had the strangest dream.
