Disclaimer: I own these bastardized characters.
(No, I don't, and I certainly don't plan to dispose of Kishimoto-sama for the mere pleasure of saying I do.)
You know, I've been wondering if it's unhealthy to be a sadist. This whole 'putting nonexistent characters through passionate hell that I hope never befalls my hell-bound self'. Because you just know I'm driving the bus down there.
So, I'm leaving for vacation Friday-
(For those of you in the US of A, I'm heading to the East Coast; Myrtle Beach, SC, specifically. Then NYC.)
-and I decided to get this up before I left.
About the chapter: A bit lighter than expected, but trust me, angst will come. Main pairing is obviously perfectly imperfect SasuSaku. The rest? Whatever I make, because I won't promise that they'll remain static. In fact, I'm pretty sure they won't.
And on an obvious note...this is a sequel. So if you are interested in this, you need to just click my profile and find "Self-Destruction", because I swear if I get one review that is all confused (because of never reading the first one), I will become the most sadistic and vicious person you've ever met.
Seriously. I will carve out your kneecaps with a rusty kunai.
But if you're confused like you were when reading the first one, good, that was my intention. And this all comes together in the end, even if it doesn't seem like it will.
Virulence: Extremely severe or harmful in its effects; highly infective; bitterly hostile.
Damashi: (Japanese): (the act of) deceiving.
(crosses fingers). Dear gods, I can't do beginnings, here's hoping I pull this off!
Because it was never meant to be easy, nor do we deserve any such solace. Amidst this war, we do our duty. I am alone. You are alone. Let us suffer. And smile as we do.
:: Of Blood and Wilted Blossoms ::
Chapter One: Bonds of Virulence
Like her head, swaying with just an unhealthy tinge of dizziness.
Liquid traveling like silk and tumbling over more of the same, reaching up the sides of the crystal clear wine glass like blood. Chills played a haunting melody, enveloping every ivory vertebrae of her spine as sounds of life echoed around her. Exhaustion weighed heavy upon her as her shaking hand jerked out of her control, affected so heavily from lack of sleep.
Damn my pathetic stamina.
Vision blurred, she struggled to focus on the swaying glass in her hand.
His voice was incredibly warm. Deep. Comforting.
Tilt. Tilt. Thumb and forefinger played see-saw, pupils focused on the blood running in the glass, cascading over the sides as it went back, forth, back, forth, and the material was so cool in her burning fingers.
"Sakura-chaaan!" Whine.
"Oy, forehead!" Bitchy tone.
"Sakura." Sultry; a tone so frigid that it diminished other voices, warm to her ears.
He roughly took her wrist.
Dimly aware of them staring, she leaned forward slightly and let him take the glass from her hand; the resounding 'clink' sounded unnaturally distant.
"She's exhausted."
"I know...Hinata passed out an hour ago," Naruto replied, nodding down at the Hyuuga's sleeping figure. Her head resting in his lap, blue hair splayed across it as he shoveled food into his mouth, occasionally dropping steamed rice and noodles into her long locks.
"She should get some rest, we all should," Shikamaru said knowledgeably, raising his glass to his mouth. His dinner had been long abandoned for the thick sheaf of paper he held in his other hand, eyes scanning the page with keen eyes only rivaling Sakura's when it came to detail. Said girl had left her information under her wine glass; it was now stained with a gray ring that soaked through several pages.
"I'm fine!" Sakura snapped abruptly, shaking her head and sliding the papers to her, but she did not peruse them as the others did. To escape the familiar, intense stare she was enduring, her eyes fell upon her barely touched plate of food. Pushing it away, she reached for her wine glass and Sasuke's hand shot out, grabbing her wrist again.
"You didn't eat enough."
"Not hungry," she replied, though without noticeable conviction. Her uneasiness would not be quelled by food or drink, but she could sure as hell try.
Kakashi glanced at Sakura over the papers he was skimming and then at Sasuke. "Take her to bed, Sasuke."
Naruto burst out laughing with a mouth full of food, showering the table, the occupants, and Hinata's long hair with sizeable chunks of meat that he hadn't bothered to chew. The dark-haired shinobi gave him a smouldering look and Sakura flung a steak knife at the blonde, missing by inches. Sasuke rose his eyes to meet Kakashi's one. The latter dared to grin.
"You haven't given us the room keys," he muttered monotonously, pursing his lips insufferably as Sakura snatched her glass from his reach and drank, avoiding his dark eyes.
"Who am I sleeping with, Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked, unaware that the girl in his lap was awakening to the loud sounds of the bar. "Shikamaru is too lazy to put the cap back on the toothpaste-"
"Naruto, I told you not to tell people that I complain about my boyfriend!"
"-and Sasuke is all obsessive and puts everything all organized and says that I snore!" He ignored Ino's frantic outburst completely, and glared good-naturedly at Sasuke, whom did not return it.
"You do snore," Sakura muttered into her glass, rolling her puffy jade eyes.
Sasuke snickered quietly and wrapped his fingers around his own drink, bringing it to his lips.
"We have four rooms, and for good reason, given the circumstances for the roles we're playing," Kakashi announced quietly, keeping the information solely at their table; not that there were too many others at an inn this late that frankly, was in the middle of nowhere. The first sign of civilization they had seen for three straight days.
"I don't see why that is," Sasuke muttered.
"It's quite simple," Shikamaru interjected, straightening his information with a flourish. "Naruto and Hinata, the latter posing as Hanabi, of course, Ino and I, Kakashi to his own and of course, Sugiyama and Tenshon, the two shinobi you two are impersonating." Jerking his head toward Sakura for emphasis, he shrugged nonchalantly at the explanation that was thoroughly puzzling Sasuke.
"Aw, Sasuke, if it's such a big deal you can just put Sakura on the couch!"
Sakura socked Naruto in the arm, glare set, while Sasuke rose a pretentious eyebrow at his clueless friend.
"I'm not...going to make her sleep on the damn couch," he murmured gruffly, disguising his gentlemanly courtesy by lowering his eyes to his drink and taking a long drought. "Hn."
Sakura rose her glass and drank heartily as well, not lowering it as their company stared at them curiously. They were missing something obvious, and since Naruto seemed to be along with them...well, it must be very obvious.
Kakashi narrowed his eyes suspiciously, though his twinkle of amusement was none too discreet. "You do realize that married couples usually share a bed, correct?"
Sasuke abruptly choked, Hinata's head hit the bottom of the table (evidently, she had been listening), and Sakura's powerful hand, coursing with chakra, shattered her glass to pieces. Ino ducked with a screech as shards flew past her head, embedding themselves in the walls around the inn. Other customers were looking around curiously to find the source of the lethal weapons and commotion, and Hinata sat up quickly, blushing furiously.
One single shard rested in Sakura's palm; jade eyes, jagged, in emotion and in color, as sea glass unearthed from the softest sand, rested on Kakashi's crinkling smile underneath his mask. Sliding her long nail under it-
Even her mentor did not expect the incredibly intimidating power she possessed in just one finger, and as it sliced a lock of his graying hair clean off and embedded itself in the cushion behind him, even Sasuke had to smirk. Unfortunately, the latter was still choking on his liquor and did not emerge from his fit, nor did anyone think to help him as he kept his eyes to the table, pounding a fist upon it. Hinata was sinking lower and lower in the booth, maroon forehead barely visible above the edge.
"MARRIED?" Naruto yelled, cerulean eyes alight with mischievousness. "You mean like, with a ring and everything?"
Raising the heel of her hand, the medic slammed it upon Sasuke's upper back and cleared his throat, sending his body crashing into the side of the table. Syllables, sharp and dangerous, silenced present company as she inquired: "Explain."
"You didn't read thoroughly, did you Sakura?" Kakashi's voice chastised her amiably and it irked her to no end.
"Explain," Sasuke interrupted curtly, eyes watering from his coughing fit.
"As you know, the whole point of this mission, in the end, is to impersonate the members of that foreign organization. Sugiyama and Tenshon were two extraordinarily powerful and impressing members, and you two are to be them, in looks and in personality and yes, in marriage."
"They don't have the same surname," Sasuke replied slowly, while Sakura nodded in agreement.
"Technically, they do, but organization protocol required Tenshon to retain her maiden name in official listings."
"But, Kaka-sensei," Sakura began, struggling to find a justified argument as Sasuke remained dangerously silent.
"If you did not read the biography thoroughly, I apologize, but there's no way around this, Sakura," her former sensei replied, his voice low and significant. "This is your mission. Put personal feelings and qualms aside."
A loud snort caught the attention of the table, and Ino set down her glass. Raising her slightly shaking fingers, she formed invisible quotes in the air and mocked Kakashi. "Personal feelings," the blonde drawled, rolling her bright eyes, "What an understatement."
"As if you'd know," the medic spat, jumping to her feet, so eager for a fight. Short tempered, violent, sleep-deprived Sakura was ready to take a fistful of primped blonde hair and throw the girl around by it, slam her body to the floor–
Her graphic and sanguinary thoughts were interrupted as she felt calloused fingers latch around her wrist, tugging, not with the incessant childlike pull that reminded her of Naruto. Rough, impatient, sending shivers dancing across her spine from the anger emanating in the wake of just his touch. Letting out a curse and a screech in protest, as she struggled to resist his blind anger.
Sasuke dragged her exhausted body across the seat of the booth, letting her hit the floor and then pulling her upright. Coated in dust and red in the face, Sakura shoved him in the chest. She noticed the room keys clenched in his fist at his side.
"What's your problem?"
"Don't cause a scene. We're going to the room."
Her eyes narrowed. "You're not my husband, nor my father, and even if you were, I wouldn't listen."
"I'll make you listen."
Growling in annoyance and embarrassment as people twisted in their chairs to better view the commotion, he spun her around by the shoulders and poked a finger into her spine. "Walk."
Barely a minute's pause before-
"Gladly. But you don't get that privilege."
And with that, Sakura stalked off with her pretty head held high, cursing amiably under her breath as she tossed the room keys up, down, up, down. The fingers of her other hand curled around Sasuke's pant leg, dragging him across the dusty floor.
The Uchiha did not say a word, keeping his arms folded and glare set as every occupant of the room watched the door of the bar swing shut.
Hinata had her fingers pressed over her mouth tightly, still pink in the face. The sounds of their voices rose to a din as they stomped up the stairs. Kakashi took the liberty of breaking the tense silence of the table, littered with apparently amusement at the whole ordeal.
"Hmm. I forgot to give him Tenshon's ring."
Naruto stuck out his palm obnoxiously, waving it up and down with a grin on his young face. "Gimme it, sensei, I'll go-"
"Unless you want your body to be embedded in the drywall like Sasuke, you probably don't wanna do that," Shikamaru told him, shaking his head and straightening the sheaf of information with a flourish, eyebrows furrowed.
"That's all right, Naruto. Tomorrow is another day. And besides, you should take Hinata and make your way up to bed as well," Kakashi exclaimed cheerfully; his amusement was almost cruel.
Vitriolic in nature
Blind to faults and to a nonexistent loyalty
Where does it lie?
I can't decide anymore.
Affected by this torture that wander so willingly in the midst
Of my shattered purpose.
Raising a steady hand, she shielded her piercing eyes from the blinding light that danced on the horizon. Like something carefree that had already severed it's strings from any hardship that dared cross it's path. Unfortunately, it did nothing to soothe her, and as she let her heavy, metal weapon slide from her back, she realized this was all she had left. Loyalty was a farce at this very low point in her personal affairs, though...had Gaara been right? Was the world going to fall at Itachi's hands?
Did this matter?
A breeze granted her comfort, whipping from the not so far away shore and surrounding her with the bitter salt air. An ocean, accessible just beyond this glittering city of lights and sounds and hopefully, somewhere in there she could blend in and just forget–
"Ungrateful bitch."
It took her a moment to realize how harsh the words sounded from her own mouth. Raising fingers to her lips, she mouthed it again with deliberate precision, those syllables that were accusing her from an unconscious she tried to ignore. And in that moment she also decided how foolish and weak it would be to disown herself this way, pretending that nothing was happening or simply closing herself off to ignore it all.
The fallen.
She had seen it on her way here and wondered how long it would be, before this city fell victim to the same virulent affliction sweeping villages at a time. Oblivious to the rest of inner society because they were small places that had to fight to keep their names on any map, but it would be the ignorance of these warnings that would let the city crumble.
"It would be prudent to let them fight their own battle."
Temari kicked her backpack underneath her bed, disguising her foiled attempt to leave the village, once again, with anger that was so normal for her it did not raise questions. "I'm leaving...isn't that enough?"
"You're going to find a loyalty, for I am sure that after recent incidents you won't be able to find it in your heart–"
"You're one to talk about HEARTS! About FEELINGS!" Temari screeched, perfectly aware of her low blow and not sorry in the slightest.
"Why do you bother anymore, Temari?" Gaara inquired flatly, shaking his head ever-so-slightly. "They have walked into their own destruction. In the end, man and shinobi will destroy themselves."
"Shut up!" she hissed, clenching a headband in her fist. "They don't deserve that. We broke our alliance, we lied, we attacked and we paid for that, remember? Or do you not remember the assassination of the Kazekage?"
"Speaking of Kazekage, I've been removed from my post."
Shock reduced her to a dull silence as her eyes widened. "No."
"I do not know the reason they fed the public, but the real reason is very obvious, isn't it?"
"What the hell would someone like...Itachi want with us? With any other village?"
Snorting derisively, her brother surveyed her through heavy-lidded eyes. "As if we know what goes on in that man's mind."
Crossing to the door with the heavy footsteps of a man with a final decision, he leaned against the doorframe and watched her over his shoulder. "I want you to leave. But don't get into this. Those orders you were given...they were orders, and you couldn't change that."
"As if you fucking understood!" she spat, hurling a dulled kunai at him; the point embedded itself in the drywall, dangerously close to Gaara's pale hand. "You have no idea!"
"Maybe it's your fault, then," he muttered quietly, his tone not accusatory in the slightest, and perhaps this was the reason why Temari grew angrier; he was pitying her. "To an extent, love is a weakness."
"To an extent." The key words that created a false sense of acceptance.
Sliding her hand into the depths of her robe, she emerged with two headbands and flung them from her. Tumbling over each other, colored fabrics rippling in the ocean air as they came to rest a few feet away in blatant mockery of all that she had once had, and the many things she had lost. Clink. Metal on metal, two different symbols, two different loyalties, two different sides of her that vied for a spot in her cold heart.
"You don't have any remorse, do you?"
"You have no idea, Shikamaru," she muttered, lifting her dangerous fan over her shoulder and watching the tiniest lights, the stars emerging from silky folds of ebony. Night was moving swiftly over the city and even now, the neon shone brightly amid the people on the streets and the music echoed, able to be heard from where Temari stood.
"Do you have any idea...how much she means to me?"
"I know," she whispered. "You loved her."
She stiffened in painful remembrance.
"I swear if you make another move, I will kill you."
"Then why didn't you?" Raising her head and screaming to the darkening sky, as if it had done her a personal wrong. Maybe there were answers there. Fingers gripping the handle of the fan with such intensity, shaking as she grasped the cold metal in her perspiring palms and eager, too eager to cause some untoward destruction.
A strangled cry erupted in the air: A sob, caught in a throat unwilling to cry and a noise of potent fury; a growl. Whatever the emotion meant to be conveyed, it came in full glory and those lilting syllables of heartbreak so delicately intertwined with the sound of an unsheathed weapon-
She swung her fan high, watching through blurred vision the tiny prisms of reflected color from the neon signs, so close and the salt air, already taking over her eager lungs.
Escape this nightmare.
Slamming it down, the powerful corner taking no damage as she watched it crush the clasp of the headband into pathetic shards. Of former loyalty, of former trust. Grinding it into the dust, leaving the other beautifully untouched in the dim, dissipating light. Dusk.
Gasping quietly, she lifted the fan up easily and settled it over her shoulder once more, still staring at the shards, scattered across the dust for several feet. Existed one shattered purpose, left in her fading footsteps.
Struck with reckless, daring, initiative, she hurried scooped the other object into her robe pocket and steadied her fan, gazing over her shoulder at the city, now positively blossoming with light and glorious sound. Smiling slightly, she ground her heel into the shattered pieces and whispered:
"The city of Damashi."
I rest at his mercy.
They echo, his lies.
Or maybe they are truths that I cannot disguise.
Two wrongs do not make a right. Under any circumstance.
Ethereal eyes of white, knowledgeable and experienced they as they may be, cannot create this answer from intuition alone. So he remained tense, struggling to uphold composure under a being and a force that strips it to the innards. Pale hands gently touching her perspiring neck as he felt those eyes, those damn eyes–
I'll find a way to kill you for this, Uchiha.
"Oh Hyuuga." That emotionless lilt of syllables, the delighted growl of this sated product of insanity.
"Neji..." she whispered, baring her teeth viciously at the man. She was weak, Neji was weak, the young girl Neji was holding at the neck had no chance.
Itachi smiled down at Tenten.
"Stop," Neji hissed, fingers pressing against Kami's neck; she swallowed, perspiration sliding down her frigid skin, unable to look the shinobi in the eye.
"Which one is going to die?" The minacious, mocking inquiry, spoken so calmly it was killing the Hyuuga to hear it.
A life equals a life. A girl for a girl. One he did not know, one he cherished more than he would ever admit.
"Neji! Don't listen to hi-"
Neji's head whirled around as Itachi cut her off. Her words. Her air. Chocolate brown eyes narrowed, she struggled furiously against the arm around her neck, holding her down with minimal effort. So weak, she was so weak-
"Please don't!" she shrieked, holding his powerful limb away from her bruised neck. "Neji, she's a child, please-!"
Admiration could not be helped at this crucial point, as Neji stole a guilty, covert glance at the girl. No struggling, no pleading and not a single tear in her bright pink eyes, heavy-lidded and cast to the ebony tiled floor. The only amount of fear he could find was a tensed neck, pulsing wildly under his slippery grasp.
"Weak. So weak. She is weak, and you, Neji Hyuuga, are the same."
Tenten could not keep her mouth shut: "SHUT IT!"
Kami inhaled sharply as Tenten's body hit the floor, hard. The young shinobi with white eyes remained still.
"Take her life," Itachi stated calmly, the ultimatum. "Or I take," he raised his booted foot above Tenten's lifeless form. "Hers."
"Don't touch her," Neji muttered through gritted teeth, a muscle twinging in his jaw. He wouldn't do it. He couldn't do it. For the first time, he was lying to himself, disregarding all facts if only it could comfort him, somehow.
Itachi raised an eyebrow, eyes glinting in the dim light. "I do not appreciate your defiance."
A strangled cough erupted in the tense silence. Tenten sat up and struggled to lift her lids, fingering the curved blade in it's sheath at her side; without further pretense, she slashed.
"Fucking lunatic!" she burst out, voice vindictive and high-pitched as she swung the blade from her position on the floor. Itachi did not react as it slit through his pant leg, severing the material covering his shin.
A tiny sliver of blood bubbled between the folds and surfaced.
The Uchiha blinked; his eyes burst into brilliant crimson and Tenten gasped, dropping her blade and clutching her hand, wrapping her fingers around her wrist. Shaking uncontrollably, curling her knees to her chest as she fell on her side, biting her lip and trying, desperately, not to cry out.
"The...t-the bones," she stammered, the flush from her anger draining from her face. "You're c-crushing them! STOP!" she screeched, suppressing tears.
Apparently, Itachi did not appreciate her defiance either, because a second later he swooped upon her, grasping her chin in his fingers and forcing her, for that necessary millisecond, to stare into his eyes.
"Nonononono," she rasped, weak protests against the genjutsu she could not fight. Eventually, she began to scream.
Neji stared at Tenten writhing on the floor and came to a decision.
I'm sorry. Bringing back two powerful fingers, he held Kami by the neck with one hand, avoiding the tears welling in her pink eyes. Please don't scream.
A sudden exhale tickled Neji's lips; the girl's last breath of precious air. Feeling it caress his perspiring, dirty face. His fingers knew fatal pressure points by muscle memory alone.
Thankfully, she did not utter a sound as he let his fingers go limp, Kami's body sliding to the tiled floor.
Itachi seemed satisfied, and blinked solemnly, letting his eyes fade to onyx once more. Watching the brunette convulsing on the floor, smirking almost fondly at the Hyuuga, whom had turned and taken a few steps toward his teammate. Unable to comfort or touch, only observe in stony silence.
Reflexes kicked in: The sharingan wielder took a smooth step forward and kicked Tenten's limp form... Rolling over and over, stopping, with a whimper, at Neji's feet.
"Take her."
Sorrowful, she kept her exhausted jade eyes cast to the bag she was currently rummaging through and ignored his intense stare. Silhouette stretched upon the blood red carpet, lean and muscular, created by the fluorescent light of the bathroom that spilled through the open door. He tried, however, to stop staring; it was not making her turn around, nor did it feel particularly right to let his eyes roam her half-clothed figure. She was hunching over his backpack, searching through his clothes looking for one of his shirts to wear to bed, and yes, he was annoyed about her display of humiliation in his regard.
He was trying to be a stubborn, insensitive prick, but as her eyes so heavy with apology settled on a dark, navy nightshirt and she stood, fiddling with the buttons, he sighed.
Leaning against the door frame, he let her sweep past without looking at him and scoop her hairbrush from the counter, pulling it roughly through her tangled pink locks. Tossing it aside. It hit the tile with a piercing clatter.
Sasuke watched her over his shoulder as she buttoned his shirt halfway, leaving the top few hanging loosely as she rubbed her eyes, tumescent in the pale glow of the light.
He turned.
"Why do you always wear my clothes to sleep in?"
"Because...I can."
Raising a pretentious eyebrow, he stepped forward and stood behind her silently, breathing down her neck and not hesitating as he reached forward. Sliding muscular arms around her waist and pulling her small body to his with the intent of being gentle; unfortunately, breaking habits were difficult after so long. Needy, rough, possessive groping was his forte and really, was only expected given the personality he portrayed.
Her knees nearly gave as she leaned back, accepting his less than tender embrace; he felt shivers from fatigue send shakes into her arms and torso, head falling back to rest on his shoulder.
"You are so annoying...now go to bed."
"You...you're...you are such a..." she whined, vainly struggling in his grasp, throwing back her limp hand to smack him. Her fingers hit his taut, bandaged shoulder and rested there.
"I'm sorry," she mumbled, struggling to stay awake. Fingers descended lower, feeling rather than seeing the zipper of her jeans. She tugged on it, the metal cold in her fingers, continuing to mutter. "But like...Kaka-sensei said," she breathed, clutching the top of her jeans, hands shaking as she pushed the material off her hips. "Just a mission, after all, we don't have a choice, right?" Tilting her head back, she let it fall sideways onto his collarbone and spoke against his neck, words slowly losing clarity as she pressed her body against his. "We'll get through it, just like always...just a mission..."
Sasuke, though quite used to frowning at numerous things, listened to her words. Derisive. Mocking.
She clung to him still for support as she pushed the material further, over her thighs, and let the jeans crumple to a heap around her ankles, leaving her legs bare. His long shirt reached nearly to her knees, admittedly covering much more in the front than in the back. Turning her face into the sleeve, she inhaled deeply and rolled her eyes at him.
"So when it's over...you can go back to...to being a bastard," she whispered, snickering quietly in her nearly unconscious state. Kicking her foot haphazardly, she muttered, "Stupid pants...", as the jeans slid off her ankle.
"Now take me to bed," she murmured.
And with that order, she collapsed against him with a fluttering sigh and one last curse.
Sasuke's lips twisted into somewhat of an offended pout.
Did she have to say all that?
Unfortunately, he felt he deserved it, and as he slid an arm under her knees and carried her bridal style over the threshold, into the darkness of the hotel room, he sighed again. So typical of her, pushing herself to exhaustion, so annoying, how she felt the need to humiliate him in the bar, so cute, the way she insisted on stealing all his damn shirts.
So bitter, her words. Because they were true.
Despite her rekindling his tolerance of other people, that just didn't seem to include her.
Though sorely tempted to drop her, he set her sleeping form carefully upon the bed, roughly yanking the covers over her and folding his arms as he stared down. Eyes glittering in the darkness, watching her intensely, as she curled up at the edge of the side, somehow aware that she was required to leave room for one more.
'Cause you're always dancing
Just out of my reach
How long can I practice
What I've always preached?
And in the darkness, shirtless, he laid carefully on his own side of the bed and rested his tired head upon folded arms. Thinking.
Looking to his right, he watched her back rise and fall as she slept contentedly on her side. She had kicked the blankets off her body completely, revealing her legs, ivory in the moonlight cast across the sheets. He rolled onto his side, watching her through those same obsidian eyes, always guarded and disguising everything.
In that same moonlight, his fingers were just as pale as he reached out, unsure of exactly what he wanted to touch, but he needed to. He needed to feel something.
So sensitive...makes me sick.
They settled upon the gentle curve of her hip, squeezing it roughly.
"Tenshon, Sakura."
He grimaced.
"Sugiyama, Sakura."
His grip tightened. His voice was raspy, thick, low in the stillness of the night.
He remembered how that man had spoken to her. Mocked her.
Touched her.
That was whom Sasuke would have to be.
Unnatural adrenaline flooded him for one pivotal moment: He sat up quickly, removing his hand from her. Boldly, he bent over her sleeping, angel-like form and lowered his lips to her ear. Heavy, hot breaths fluttering against her, lips touching her skin as little as possible. He whispered:
"Uchiha Sakura."
Like a hiss.
It rolled off the tongue just too easily.
Raising himself cautiously, he turned over, his back now facing her.
Distancing himself once again.
On opposite sides they rested through the night, both dreading the light of dawn. Neither turned. Neither moved. There was always tomorrow.
Another day to fight.
Another day to keep himself away.
I'll be okay.
Just trust me when I say...
We're better off alone.
Goodnight, Uchiha Sakura.

REDMOND, Wash. (AP) Longtime Microsoft board member Jon A. Shirley will not seek re-election in November, the software maker said.
Shirley joined Microsoft in 1983 as president and chief operating officer after serving as an executive at early PC maker Tandy. He retired from Microsoft in 1990 but remained on the company's board.
His departure comes as Chairman Bill Gates shifts his own focus away from Microsoft to his philanthropic foundation.
But Shirley said in a statement Tuesday that he was confident in Microsoft's leadership.
"I could only make this decision knowing that Microsoft is well-positioned for success in the years ahead," he said.
Shirley, 70, is a director of Manzanita Capital, a private financial services company in Seattle.
He is also chairman of the Seattle Art Museum's board, and he and his wife, Mary, established a $20 million endowment to keep the museum's year-old Olympic Sculpture Park open free of charge.
He lives in the Seattle suburb of Medina and collects and races vintage Ferraris.

Nebraska's defense has been at its best during the final month of the season, looking more and more like the dominant 2009 version of the Blackshirts.
Kansas managed just three points, five first downs and 87 yards against them.
Texas A&M couldn't score a touchdown at home against Nebraska, settling for three field goals.
Colorado trailed 31-3 to the Huskers before adding a pair of second-half touchdowns in a 45-17 loss.
Moving the ball on the Blackshirts has been difficult. Scoring has been harder. Oklahoma will experience that on Saturday against the Huskers, but the Sooners' latest offensive wrinkle may give them an edge.
It goes by a handful of names, but "Diamond" is the most common. Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones takes the snap with fullback Trey Millard on one side, a running back on the other and another running back behind him. Expect a combination of DeMarco Murray, Roy Finch and Mossis Madu this week, depending on how much or if Murray can play after injuring his knee against Oklahoma State.
Oklahoma used the formation often against Oklahoma State, including heavy use during an 82-yard touchdown drive that put the Sooners up 7-0 early.
That's a bit ironic, considering the Sooners poached the formation from the Cowboys, and debuted it a week earlier against Baylor. Frankly, despite its late addition to the Sooners' repertoire, they used it much more effectively than their in-state rivals.
Nebraska won't have much to see on film and study up on the formation, but defensive end Jeremy Beal has seen plenty of it during practice.
"It's difficult at times [to stop], but if you read your keys and play it right, it's not that difficult," Beal said.
Oklahoma State's defense certainly made it look difficult. The Sooners' collection of misdirections and quick handoffs, as well as power runs, screens and downfield passes out of the formation baffled the Cowboys, who gave up 47 points to the Sooners' offense.
A defense's unfamiliarity with a scheme, especially new ones, can make it look more difficult to stop than it actually is, but the Sooners are likely to test the Huskers' ability to do exactly that with the Big 12 title on the line.
The more teams ran the Wildcat, the less effective it became. The Sooners' Diamond package is still relatively new. Whether or not Nebraska can send it out of style early on Saturday should have a big impact on who leaves as Big 12 champions.

How's the online play and servers? Are there still a lot of people playing this game, or has everyone moved over to Battlefield 3? I've heard a lot of great things about this game like the heavy team-oriented style of playing, the bullet drop, and I heard the single player campaign was really good.
Would this and the first Bad Company be good games for me to get into, seeing as that I'm extremely new to the war first-person shooter genre? I've only ever played the Battlefield 3 Beta demo and the free demo of the first Bad Company. However, I really love them.
I'm also wondering, if I get this game, should I bother getting the first Bad Company? I know this game is a big improvement on BF: BC, but would it still be worth it?
Thank you for any and all future responses; they'll be greatly appreciated.
I would recommend getting Bad company 2 only. The first one was ok in terms of online which is near deserted but the campaign is forgettable. The second has a better campaign and the multiplayer is in my honest opinion, AMAZING!! Yes, many people still play it online but good luck ranking up with the high level jerks camping. Still worth it and better than any CoD to date. Black Ops being the exception.

All Children - All Families: Training Curriculum
Share this
The All Children – All Families initiative has developed an expert LGBTQ competency training program that can be customized for the needs of individual agencies.
Interested in All Children - All Families training opportunities? Visit here to learn more!
An Introduction to LGBTQ Competency for Child Welfare Professionals
This critical session in the All Children–All Families training series equips child welfare professionals with a comprehensive foundation of knowledge on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) individuals and their experiences within the child welfare system. Participants will learn key concepts and terminology related to sexual orientation, gender identity and expression (SOGIE). Research findings on LGBTQ-headed families -- including demographics and outcomes for children raised in LGBTQ families -- and the prevalence and experiences of LGBTQ youth in foster care will be explored. The session concludes by outlining the steps every child welfare professional can take to welcome and affirm LGBTQ youth and families within the walls of their agencies and beyond.
- Explore shared values as professionals in child welfare and the connections between LGBTQ competency and these values
- Understand licensing body/professional association expectations and mandates re: LGBTQ competency
- Consider the relevance of SOGIE in service delivery and SOGIE within the context of individual well-being and that of families, community, and society
- Improve understanding of appropriate terminology related to the LGBTQ community
- Distinguish between sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression, and explore the limitations of a binary construction of gender
- Learn to respond to clients who identify using unfamiliar terminology
- Explore diversity of transgender community
- Acknowledge own beliefs, values and assumptions in relation to LGBTQ people and build awareness of how personal bias may impact work with clients
- Explore common experiences of LGBTQ people, including coming out as a lifelong process, the risks and gains of coming out and the impact of family response on well-being
- Gain accurate information about LGBTQ youth (e.g., identities, experiences and strengths) and distinguish common misconceptions and stereotypes from facts
- Gain accurate information about LGBTQ parents (e.g., prevalence of LGBTQ parenting, outcomes for children of LGBTQ parents, experiences in child welfare) and distinguish common misconceptions and stereotypes from facts
- Learn laws related to LGBTQ adoption and foster placements in relevant jurisdictions
- Develop a greater understanding of the strengths of LGBTQ parents and the value of LGBTQ families in serving children and youth in the foster care system
- Learn behaviors and language to avoid in order to create a welcoming environment for LGBTQ youth and families, including hetero-centric or cissexist language
- Identify concrete next steps for advocating for and improving practice with LGBTQ youth and families
Best Practices for Serving LGBTQ Families
This session in the All Children - All Families training series outlines the essential agency policies and practices that are welcoming to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) prospective parents. Trainers explore the role of unconscious bias in working with diverse families and outline specialized parent recruitment strategies for LGBTQ individuals and couples. Specific, practical suggestions for how to conduct non-biased, LGBTQ-competent home assessments and confidently engage in discussions with children about being placed in LGBTQ-headed families are explored. The session concludes with helping agencies navigate challenges and pitfalls in the process of matching LGBTQ parents with children awaiting families.
- Explore the impact of unconscious bias when engaging LGBTQ foster and adoptive parents
- Understand where applicants typically fall off in the process and the importance of creating positive "first/early contacts" with prospective families
- Consider the role of data collection around SOGIE with parent applicants, including questions of how, when and why to collect this information
- Learn strategies for LGBTQ-inclusive parent recruitment practices
- Understand the value of actively engaging their local community as partners in finding and supporting an expanded pool of qualified, loving foster and adoptive homes for children who need them
- Use case studies to explore scenarios that could arise during early interactions with LGBTQ foster/adoptive parent applicants in preparation for navigating similar situations in real life
- Develop comfort and competency in assessing LGBTQ prospective parents utilizing criteria that are warranted, appropriate, and grounded in a solid understanding of the realities and experiences affecting LGBTQ families
- Use case studies to explore scenarios that could arise during the homestudy process with LGBTQ foster/adoptive parent applicants and to feel better prepared to navigate similar situations in real life
- Increase capacity to present LGBTQ parents to children in a strengths-based and age-appropriate manner and to help children manage any questions and challenges that arise from being a part of an LGBTQ family
- Develop strategies for eliminating bias against LGBTQ parents in the child matching process, and identify ways to support LGBTQ families while they search and are selected for the right children to join their family
Best Practices for Serving LGBTQ Youth in Foster Care
This session in the All Children - All Families training series provides child welfare professionals with a deeper understanding of the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth today with an emphasis on the three pillars of child welfare: safety, permanency, and well-being. Research demonstrating the over-representation of LGBTQ youth in care as well as disparities they experience -- including higher rates of bias, harassment and violence, as well as a higher likelihood of being placed in congregate care settings -- will be explored. These experiences are brought to life in educational videos written and produced by LGBTQ youth. Participants will practice the skills necessary to provide LGBTQ youth with the care they need and deserve, including talking about topics related to sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression (SOGIE).
- Become familiar with existing resources that address the needs of LGBTQ youth in care
- Examine diversity of LGBTQ foster youth and explore ways to engage them with respect to the multiple identities and challenges they face
- Learn the legal rights of LGBTQ foster youth
- Become acquainted with research on LGBTQ youth risk and protective factors
- Consider the role of data collection around SOGIE with youth, including questions of how, when and why to collect this information
- Practice using appropriate language and accepting behaviors with LGBTQ youth through role plays and responding to video presentations
- Gain a greater understanding of the impact SOGIE can have on foster youth safety, including the experiences of bullying, harassment and violence for LGBTQ youth in care
- Gain a greater understanding of the impact SOGIE can have on foster youth permanency, including: helping families identify (accepting/rejecting) behaviors that impact a child's experience, and identifying and developing safe, affirming, family-based placements for LGBTQ youth
- Gain a greater understanding of the impact SOGIE can have on foster youth well-being, including: how to incorporate the concept of "normalcy" in our care for LGBTQ youth, how to uphold LGBTQ foster youth rights to improve their experiences from "surviving" to "thriving"

Maria Coughlin: I am ashamed. I am ashamed of being young I am ashamed of being stupid.
Maria Coughlin: I'm looking at this guy, right? And I looked at him a lot before. So now I know that I have this little piece of him actually in me. Physically in me, and it makes me feel completely different, I don't know, sort of special or something. So I'm talking to him... I'm talking to him and I realize, I'm, I'm talking to him, and I realize that he doesn't even see me. And I'm wondering what it was he was seeing when he did this. I go over it in my head, and now I know what it was he was seeing. It's really simple. He's seeing my legs. He 's seeing my breasts. My ass. My mouth. He's seeing my cunt... How can I have been so stupid? That's really all there is to see, isn't it?

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Multiple Use Gear › Edible Gear!!! Does it really work?
Jun 18, 2006 at 1:03 am #1218830
I was just browsing the internet and stumbled on this website for edible gear. Yes, edible Tarps, Backpacks, sleeping bags etc.
The company that is selling them reckons you just tear a chunk of your backpack off and eat it as you go. The same for your sleeping bag or pad etc.
I'm not convinced there is a market for this stuff. The idea of eating a sleeping bag i've just spent the night sleeping in doesn't really appeal. Has anyone out there has any use with this stype of stuff?Jun 18, 2006 at 1:20 am #1358165

You realize that ediblegear.com is a joke website, right? They first put it up April 1 a few years ago.Jun 18, 2006 at 1:40 am #1358166
Well thank goodness for that information. Can't say I spent much time looking at the site. I just followed a link from another outdoor magazine type website. I did kind of look at it in disbelief hence why I didn't think there was much of a market for it. Guess, it suckered me though even though April has long gone!!!!!!
Sanity has been restored in the lightweight backpacking world. At least, I wonder, Hmm now if got some of that sheet lasagne……
Thanks for the heads up.

My new book, "Lighthouses of the PCT" will be out next Fall. It chronicles the lighthouses built by the Mountaineers so that hikers could find their way on the PCT in the days before we had GPS units. On foggy, rainy days you could hear the fog horns of the PCT lighthouses, made to simulate the mating call of the Roosevelt elk. I miss those sounds terribly.Jun 18, 2006 at 10:18 am #1358176

Question: Aren't animals attracted to equipment made of out food?
Answer: No. Animals aren't stupid. Animals don't consider Edible Gear food. You on the other hand, are clearly smart enough to understand that weight saving takes precedence over everything. As you're choking down your sleeping pad just think to yourself how easy it'll be to heft that pack tomorrow morning with two ounces less weight.Aug 10, 2006 at 4:24 am #1360834

Well, what if you made frame stays out of some sort of pasta or other dense, slightly flexible food? As your pack weight got lower, you could potentially eat them without affecting your comfort. Lol.Jul 5, 2011 at 9:45 pm #1756356

Is Tanner Scheppers back? It might be too soon to say, but he took two very big steps on his way to returning to early-season form with his stint in Seattle.
Only days before the Rangers arrived in Seattle, Scheppers had two of the worst outings of his career. He gave up two runs on three hits with a couple of wild pitches and hit batters against the Astros and then a run on three hits in a loss to the White Sox. It capped a very difficult stretch for Scheppers. The young reliever posted a 4.76 ERA in his last 17 innings before the trip to Seattle. Opponents were hitting .333 against him. Included in that span was his black eye on the streets of Cleveland. It just wasn't a 6-week stretch to remember for Scheppers
Before June 30, when the struggles began, Scheppers was an All-Star caliber reliever. He posted a 1.11 ERA in his first 40 2/3 innings. Opponents hit just .168 against him. Did he experience some fatigue? Very possible.
But the last two games in Seattle has seen the return of the Scheppers that we all saw early in the season. He needed just seven pitches to get three outs in the first game of the Rangers' three-game sweep of the Mariners. That was with a 5-run lead. But the next night, in a tie game, Scheppers came in and got two strikeouts and pitched out of a jam. He didn't allow a hit in either appearance and his command was solid. His fastball hit 97 mph more than a handful of times those two nights.
It was a good sign that Scheppers is finding it again. And that would be huge for this team. They need Scheppers as they shut down guy late in close games down the stretch and into the postseason.

Ignorance is NOT Bliss (6 of 9) by Keith Krell
This content is part of a series.Ignorance is NOT Bliss (6 of 9)
Series: No Rest for the Righteous
Keith Krell
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Early Edition was a popular television program in the 1990s that featured a young man who received the next day's newspaper a day ahead of time. Because he always knew the future, this man's task in each episode was to save people from a tragedy or problem he had read about in tomorrow's paper. So if he knew a building was going to burn, he tried to keep people from entering it. Or if someone was going to be hurt by an act of violence or an accident he tried to prevent the encounter from taking place.
If you own a Bible, you have an "early edition" of future events. By reading God's prophetic Word, you can know God's plan for all eternity. Perhaps you're thinking, "I'm not interested in prophecy and all that end times gobblygook." To which I would reply, "Do you long to have hope?" By hope I mean absolute confidence and peace in your present and future circumstances. Hope is one of the great characteristics of Christian reality. At the start of the letter (1:3), Paul tells us that hope produces perseverance. If there is no hope in the church, there will be no perseverance, and no perseverance will mean the demise of local churches. Fortunately, there is good news: God provides hope in a hopeless world. In 1 Thess 4:13-18, Paul shares two convictions that we can count on.
1. Hope in your resurrection (4:13-16). In this first section, Paul promises us that if we have placed our faith in Christ, we will one day be resurrected. In 4:13 Paul reveals a problem: "But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope." The word "but" introduces a new subject but also connects to the previous paragraph. The restlessness of disorderly believers (4:11-12) was, in part, caused by an incomplete understanding of the resurrection of the body. The Thessalonians rightly unders ...

Trudeau Says C-14 Strikes Right Balance As NDP Ramps Up Critcism
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is evidently not worried that his government's assisted dying legislation could be unconstitutional, despite warnings from the Senate Liberal leader, a renowned legal expert, and a family behind last year's landmark Supreme Court ruling.
Trudeau faced a grilling from New Democrats in question period Monday after the federal government failed to meet the Supreme Court's June 6 deadline to have a new law in place.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on June 6, 2016. (Photo: Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press)
The Liberals' Bill C-14 is currently before the Senate, where questions are being raised about restrictions that essentially make physician-assisted death available only for suffering Canadians who are at death's door.
Senate Liberal Leader James Cowan told The Huffington Post Canada last week the bill fails to meet the standard of the top court's Carter decision — which stated consenting adults have the right to assisted death if they suffer from "grievous and irremediable" medical conditions that cause them unbearable suffering.
Cowan told HuffPost he believes the bill is unconstitutional.
NDP MP Marjolaine Boutin-Sweet was quick to relay the Senate Liberal leader's concerns in the House of Commons, and urged Trudeau to "listen to James Cowan and work on getting (C-14) right the first time."
PM lauds Senate reform efforts
The prime minister replied that Boutin-Sweet's remarks show his government's efforts to reform the Senate and make it a less partisan place have worked.
"There is no better example than the NDP highlighting the great work the Senate is doing weighing in on important pieces of legislation," Trudeau said.
The prime minister added that he looked forward to hearing what "independent voices" have to say about the bill. Boutin-Sweet called on the Liberal government to amend the legislation, saying warnings about its constitutionality have already come in from "all quarters."
Trudeau tries to deflect expert criticism
NDP justice critic Murray Rankin focused his remarks on Peter Hogg, a renowned constitutional scholar who told a Senate committee Monday that C-14 is simply "not consistent" with the top court's decision. He added that it will "undoubtedly" be struck down.
Hogg told the Senate the government cannot exclude a group of people confirmed by the country's highest court to have these Charter rights, Rankin said
"Will Liberals finally respect the Charter and announce they're willing to fix this bill?" Rankin asked.
Trudeau said that Liberals took a "big step" in the history of Canada, and were able to strike a balance between protecting the vulnerable and upholding rights and freedoms.
"We allowed and encouraged a free vote in the House of Commons," Trudeau said. He said it was "disappointing" the NDP didn't allow themselves to vote freely on the issue.
"The Liberals' stubborn refusal to listen to experts and work with the opposition will mean, Mr. Speaker, suffering Canadians spending years in court defending rights they've already won."
— Murray Rankin
That quip rankled New Democrats, who maintain their votes weren't whipped even though all the party's MPs voted against C-14. NDP House leader Peter Julian tried unsuccessfully to have Trudeau correct the record after question period.
"The Liberals' stubborn refusal to listen to experts and work with the opposition will mean, Mr. Speaker, suffering Canadians spending years in court defending rights they've already won," Rankin said.
Kay Carter's family 'betrayed'
The NDP critic then turned to comments from the family of Kay Carter, the 89-year-old woman who travelled to Switzerland in 2010 to end a life that was debilitated by spinal stenosis.
Carter's family told reporters in Vancouver they feel "betrayed" by C-14.
"We are ensuring that this big step that Canada is taking — despite people who think it goes too far, others who think it's not going far enough — is done the right way," Trudeau said.
Rankin said if Liberals really disagree with "Canada's foremost constitutional scholar" and the Alberta Court of Appeal that just last month ruled that feds weren't complying with the Supreme Court's ruling, they ought to table the government's legal opinion.
"So Canadians can judge for themselves," Rankin said.

A look at some jurisdictions where right-to-die laws are in place. (Information courtesy of The Canadian Press)
A right-to-die bill was adopted last year, the first legislation of its kind in Canada. The law, scheduled to go into effect in December, stipulates that patients would have to repeatedly ask a doctor to end their lives on the basis of unbearable physical or psychological suffering. They would have to be deemed mentally sound at the time of the requests. The law, however, is being challenged in court by two Quebec-based groups on the grounds that it undercuts sections of the Criminal Code that outlaw assisted suicide and euthanasia. The federal government has expressed its opposition to the legislation but is named as a defendant in the court challenge because it is responsible for the Criminal Code.
The results of a referendum made Oregon the first U.S. state to make it legal for a doctor to prescribe a life-ending drug to a terminally ill patient of sound mind who makes the request. However, doctors cannot administer the life-ending drugs and the patient must swallow them without help. Patients must state three times -- once in writing -- that they wish to die, and those statements must be made at least 15 days apart. They must also obtain a concurring opinion from a second doctor that they have less than six months to live and are of sound mind. The law took effect in late 1997, and through June, 2014, just over 800 people had used the law.
The state became the first in the U.S. to allow a person's right to die through legislation rather than through a court decision or a referendum result. Vermont's law, which took effect in May 2013, is closely modelled on the system in Oregon and uses the same safeguards. Patients must state three times, including once in writing -- that they wish to die. They must also obtain a concurring opinion from a second doctor that they have less than six months to live and are of sound mind.
In January 2014, a judge ruled that competent, terminally ill patients have the right to seek their doctors' help in getting prescription medication if they want to end their lives on their own terms. The state's attorney general is appealing the ruling, and a decision on whether it will be upheld is expected later this year.
A referendum saw the state enact right to die legislation in 2008. As in Oregon, patients with less than six months to live must administer the doctor-prescribed lethal medication on their own. According to a government report, 549 people applied for the right to die between 2009 and 2013. Of those, 525 actually took their own lives.
In 2009, the state's Supreme Court ruled that Montana's public policy supports mentally competent, terminally ill patients being able to choose aid in dying. Physicians are allowed to prescribe medication that patients must administer themselves. More detailed legislative bills have been introduced in the state but have not passed. The court ruling still stands today, but data about its usage is not available.
A law passed in 1942 forbade anyone from helping someone kill themselves for selfish reasons. As a result, people arguing that they are assisting with a suicide for unselfish motives are not considered to be committing a crime. Suicides can be assisted by people other than doctors and no medical condition needs to be established. Switzerland is the only country that allows foreigners to travel there for the purpose of ending their own lives.
In the Netherlands, euthanasia is legal under specific circumstances and for children over the age of 12 with parental consent. In Europe, patients don't have to prove that they have a terminal illness -- establishing unbearable suffering is usually sufficient. Dutch doctors are allowed to perform euthanasia if a patient whose unbearable suffering has no hope of improvement asks to die with a full understanding of the situation. A second doctor must agree with the decision to help the patient die.

[pyr142] caroline park – less than human
caroline park is a composer, musician, and artist working within the minimum in experimental electronic music. she creates custom software […]
pan y rosas discos is a netlabel out of chicago that focuses on experimental, noise, improvisation and weirdo rock. we believe that music should be available to all people for free! pyr began putting out music in 2008 as a way to make often overlooked music available to the public and as a way of building a community of artists, musicians and listeners. we believe that as media consolidation continues to reduce the avenues available to musicians, it is increasingly important to open up new paths for the dissemination of new music. we see pan y rosas discos, and netlabels in general, as offering one more path for artists to utilize. our music is primarily available in the mp3 format because it is the most widely available and easiest to use across platforms. older releases are at 192 kbps and newer releases are at 320 kbps. we will offer albums at a higher resolution if the artist prefers it or if we receive a request from a listener. if there is an album you would like to see in a higher resolution, please contact us. pan y rosas is most definitely interested in submissions. our only suggestion is that you listen to the music that we already have available and decide for yourself if your music would be a good fit. we are very open-minded. please send an email and a link to a place where your music is available for preview. alternately, if you need to send a physical copy, contact us and we'll work it out. this is an ongoing endeavor and we welcome any comments, suggestions, constructive criticisms that you may have. you can contact us here. please feel free to read the following to find out more about what we believe in!

15 Books to Empower Tween Girls
Learn about good books that will empower young girls, tweens and teens. Shop books for girls on Overstock.com.
In a book likely to transform how parents manage many of their child's daily struggles, Drs. Smith and Gouze explain the central and frequently unrecognized role that sensory processing problems play in a child's emotional and behavioral difficulties. Practicing child psychologists, and themselves parents of children with sensory integration problems, their message is innovative, practical, and, above all, full of hope.
A child with sensory processing problems overreacts or underreacts to sensory experiences most of us take in stride. A busy classroom, new clothes, food smells, sports activities, even hugs can send such a child spinning out of control. The result can be heartbreaking: battles over dressing, bathing, schoolwork, social functions, holidays, and countless other events. In addition, the authors say, many childhood psychiatric disorders may have an unidentified sensory component.
Readers Will Learn:
The result: a happier childhood, a more harmonious family, and a more cooperative classroom. This thoroughly researched, useful, and compassionate guide will help families start on a new path of empowerment and success.

The Map
King Timothy glared at her and demanded that she give him the casket. Silvernist shook her head.
"Sorry, but i'm looking after it."
"What's in it anyway?" Ariana asked. Silvernist's gaze landed on Ariana.
"A map. A map that could lead this world to it's doom." Sir Lorando and the royal family just looked at her. Timothy stepped closer and said and glancing at Arake,
"How did she get out of her cell?" Arake shrugged.
"We were being attacked when she came and-- rescued us."
"That still doesn't mean that she should be innoc-"
"I am! You have no idea what's happening." Silvernist told them everything. From being at Aviel's necropolis, what he's planning and so on. It was silent after she finished speaking. She waited for any reply. Silvernist watched King Timothy lift his head and then spoke.
"You seem serious," he said. Timothy looked at his wife. Rose looked away and sighed.
"Alright I believe you. So this, Campion took a copy of the map?" Silvernist nodded finally relieved that someone was actually listening.
"Let's open the casket and take a look at it," Timothy then added. Silvernist's mouth perked up a bit as she opened the lid. She took out the map and unrolled it carefully trying not to rip it. Everyone gathered around the witch and gazed at the map.
There, in the far left corner was Zilda with Zelda next to it. Sketches of forests and mountians covered half the paper. Silvernist stared at Aviel's necropolis thinking that he was watching her right at that moment. On the far right corner was Risenife surrounded by water. Reptile Isle was a small rounded shape surrounded by ocean also. The Valley of Ice was almost at the very top of the paper. The Valley Of Fire and Dreaded City Instead took that place. Silvernist gazed at the drawing of the Volcano of Synra. That volcano was where the world's most dangerous magic layed.
