Moonlight Sharoro could move very fast, but she did not run like a shinobi. She ran like an ordinary girl chasing after a bus carrying away her lover. She stared at the fiery red figure in the distance. She ran carefully, afraid that she was dreaming, afraid that running too fast would wake her from it.
"Yo, Sarara, long time no—"
Hayato saw Sarara running over and greeted her with a smile. He tried to make his smile sunny and handsome, but Sarara answered him with a flying kick.
Hayato: ???
Still utterly confused, Hayato was sent flying. He hit the ground and "plowed" across it for several more meters.
Hayato "pulled" himself out of the shattered roof tiles. "Sarara, are you trying to kill me?!" He looked up and saw Sarara's face covered in tears and snot. She gritted her teeth, holding herself back from crying out loud.
Hayato walked over and wanted to wipe away Sarara's tears, but his hand stopped halfway. The three Hokage were fighting for their lives inside the barrier, while they were openly flaunting their relationship outside. That was a bit much.
"Does it hurt?" Sarara asked worriedly.
"It doesn't..."
"If it doesn't hurt, then I'm dreaming?"
"Uh, now that you mention it, it does hurt quite a bit."
"I'm not dreaming?"
"You're not."
Suddenly~~~
Sarara threw herself at him and hugged Hayato tightly, wailing as she cried. "Hayato, you bastard! Big bastard! Super big bastard! I thought you were dead! Boohoo... No one was left to buy me tasty food, no one was left for me to bully. Do you know how I got through the past month? You..."
"Wait!" Hayato interrupted Sarara. "On July 6th, your brother's ninja hound—Black Fang Maru—sent word that I was safe. Didn't you get the message?"
Sarara
