Yugito narrowed her eyes in bliss as Shin stroked her, like a Persian cat being petted by her owner. Shin found it rather amusing. Of course, he knew that her prolonged lack of human contact had left her heavily influenced by the Two-Tails.
Still, in Shin's eyes, these habits were part of her charm, making him all the more fond of her.

"Shin Uchiha, what business do you have with me?"
Yugito had only told the Two-Tails that Shin wanted to see her, without
