    Summary

    Standing in a T&I observation room three stories underground behind one-way glass with his arms crossed and feet spread hip-width apart, Kakashi watches Root operative, orphan, missing person of eight years, civilian born Haruno Sakura spit blood in Yamanaka Inoichi’s face, a small chunk of flesh stuck between her lateral incisor and cuspid as she snarls like an animal, and thinks:

    She should have been on his team.

    In which Sakura forgets, Sai pretends, and Kakashi can't tell if he's failing the mission.

    Summary

    She wonders, not for the first time, if he’s got some finely honed, near supernatural instinct for her. If this thread of copper that she senses between them serves as a conductor, if he can feel the vibrations of her heartbeats down it and follow them to find her.

    The first time he comes to her deep in the woods. The second time he tells her that a dream is real. The third time she breaks his nose.

    And so it goes.

    Summary

    “Why would you bring me back, though?” you insist. “I… I remember nothing. What could I… what purpose do I…”

    “You are very clever!” he says. “You ask these questions so quickly- it took me months to master speech! You are my superior in every way. I knew I would surpass my creator. I think-,” he pauses, then says, “Well, he would be proud of my determination, if nothing else.”

    “Where is your creator? Who is he?”

    “He died fifty years ago,” Adam says matter–of-factly, though his eyes darken. “I hunted him to the ends of the earth. He treated me terribly. He despised me, was disgusted by me. I will never show you such cruelty, Elisabeta. Such a long name. I will call you Elisa, for short.” He runs his long, spidery fingers through your curls. You shudder. He notices this, but doesn’t comment on it.

    “Did you… kill him?” you whisper.

    “No,” he says. “But many times, I came close to it. No. And I forgave him in the end. I did. I forgave the man, you see, for he was weak and human and he did what he thought was best. He had no idea how to father his creation. But I have learned from his mistakes. And while I forgave him, I cannot forgive him for denying me a companion. That is why I made you.”
