Minnie-san!

[Kisame looks more relieved than he realizes.]

First you and then Itachi-san and your husband... It's almost contagious, eh?

[There is indeed a sleeping Uchiha in the background.]

[usedgigadrain]

In some ways, he fared better than me.

[her_mouse_jesty]

Huh?

[usedgigadrain]

He saw how important Haku-kun was to him before he died, not after.

[her_mouse_jesty]

...

[manages to connect some dots.]

They can be together again!

[usedgigadrain]

Yes, that too.

[Which is true for him and Itachi, but he's still figuring out how important Itachi is in his life.]

[her_mouse_jesty]

How wonderful.

[usedgigadrain]

It's a strange feeling, knowing I'll never go home.

[her_mouse_jesty]

...

What is 'home', to you?

[usedgigadrain]

I--

[He stops, and looks bewildered for a moment.] If you mean in that sense, I haven't ever had one, I think.

I was talking about the world I come from, though.

[her_mouse_jesty]

Maybe, then, you can have a new home. A better one.

[usedgigadrain]

Where could I go? What place would accept me with my past?

Can I even leave this world at all?

[her_mouse_jesty]

I've accepted you, haven't I?

[usedgigadrain]

There isn't anyone else like you, Minnie-san.

[her_mouse_jesty]

I don't think so. I have faith you'll make more friends.

[usedgigadrain]

[He's quiet for a moment and then shrugs.]

Perhaps. We'll see.
