    He is in his lizard form, basking in the sun's heat, when two little kunoichi catch him. The girls pet his pebbled skin, trace his ridges, and stroke his sharp claws. They shriek with laughter at the sight of his flickering tongue.

    "We should keep him," the pink-haired one decides. Since she is warm, Shisui is not overly bothered by her suggestion.

    "He's not very friendly," the other says dubiously. Shisui recognizes her as the Pig of the zodiac.

    Summary

    Kakashi keeps accepting Gai’s challenges because he likes to pretend that they still make a difference in the tally of their Eternal Rivalry. (Because, really, he knows that he’s already lost—Gai is too kind to bring up the worst challenge of them all.)

    “Oh, Tsunade-sama should know by now that nothing can keep Lee from his training!” Gai laughs, and gives Kakashi his nice-guy pose. “He's always eager to learn more taijutsu. Besides,” and for a moment a shadow drops across his face, of fleeting concern and worry, “he wants to work on how to better deal with sand jutsu. Just because he did not win against Gaara does not mean he gives up.”

    Kakashi can't help but smile, and feels the fabric of his mask stretch along the curve of his mouth. This is what makes Gai Gai. He has never, ever been discouraged, nor has he ever lost his—oh god, he winces at the phrase, but really, there’s no other to describe Maito Gai—springtime of youth, indeed.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Although it takes time (and it wears Gaara’s patience thin on his worst days), fixing the house proves to be satisfying. He goes to sleep every night with a sweet ache in his body, a numb pain he is not used to but that he welcomes gratefully.

    He finds the situation ironic—he was raised to destroy, not to create. Yet here he is, building himself a home.

    Summary

    Orochimaru-sama comes to the Academy and asks for the student with the best calligraphy.

    “Only the girls learn it,” Iruka-sensei says, and Orochimaru-sama clicks his tongue like he disapproves. “But we have several capable young kunoichi.”

    Sakura has the highest marks in calligraphy, higher even than Ino-chan. She has good marks in their painting class, too, and any class that involves holding a pencil. She tells Orochimaru-sama this proudly.

    “How wonderful,” he says, and she’s giddy with praise from the legendary war hero.

    He wants to see her write, so she does. They go to Iruka-sensei’s desk and both her teacher and Orochimaru-sama watch her. Orochimaru-sama asks her to write smaller and smaller. She does. He praises her.

    “Yes,” he says, “I think you’ll do.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The boy is dying again. Orochimaru-sama tsks and moves the eyes into another child from Root.

    Sakura performs perfect eye transplants on pigs. They’re actually easier than the fish, since the eyes are bigger. But they have fewer pigs and thousands of fish, so if she was going to waste specimens practicing, it had to be the fish.

    Summary

    She's poisoned, maimed, sleep-deprived, delirious, starving, dehydrated, shot, beaten, and reeks to the high skies, and this is the best she's felt in three weeks. Steaks, smokes, and a terrifying babe.

    "Wish those ninnies had had wine."

    "Revolution is not a dinner party."

    Bookmarker's Notes

    It's not that Vriska Serket has never been deployed in a hot zone, or had to go on the run from a few dozen people who wanted to kill her and make a big sensationalist to-do about it, but this is something else entirely. This is the kind of thing that only happens to chicks in the blockbusters. The ones who wear lots of spandex and you can only see their spiky heels in the scenes where they're strutting.
