NOOOO! Ren, what did you do?! Naomi, don't go! Don't do it!

... Why am I freaking out about this? I'm quite sure I saw this coming...

Your description (I wonder, do you seriously ever get tired of me saying this?) was wonderful. No, it was beautiful. As in, beautiful. It wasn't just a sad description of how the village is being destroyed to its core. You added the surroundings and the cause of the destruction, and mixing it together was seriously a great benefit. I was clearly able to see Seishin's beauty and then the deadly green smoke corrupting its serenity. It was like seeing a beautiful autumn tree with its vibrant colors, and the next moment, the tree is bare and 'destroyed' in a sense. Does that analogy somewhat make sense?

Well anyway, Gaara and Naomi... I wonder if he'll be able to handle her... ;)

Wow, I seriously can't wait for more, but I know you'll be working on SA. Then again, I love everything you post, so I'm excited for anything you put up next :D Keep up the awesome work, BattyBigSis!

Author's Response: I think I actually said on Sasaui's site that I was going to do two chapters of SWB this time, because this one was so short - and i intend to stick to that, so you won''t have too long to wait. AND - Yes, I know!!! Ren let me down too. =0( I was actually expecting more of a fight from him - I even told you as much - and then with the way I laid out the situation he really didn't have too much of a choice...rnrnAm I really being that unclear? You know I wonder if I'm just confusing you now... Anyway, Naomi's not going down there to fight (at this point anyway). She's going to go kick some order into her jounin to make them defend the country properly. She's not about to like what she finds either - then again she probably already has a good idea of the shambles everything is in. Telepathic know-it-all... As for Seishin being under attack... well...rnrnAnd yes... Gaara and Naomi are alone again. Honestly, I'm more worried about whether she can handle him.
