Hitomi Taki. The once naive genin grown up to a brooding teenager. Sixteen, taller, and a bit more level-headed. But, now, improved with vigorous training and worst trust issues than before.
Sasuke Uchiha. Her first boyfriend. First kiss. And, quite possibly, first love. But, he's left her ages ago, with loose ends and no closure. And, soon enough, it might just be too much for the young Taki too handle.
She might of hated them when they were younger, but the feelings only multiplied by now. Love is a weakness, she would say. But, now, it only pisses her off.
