anonymous asked:
May I ask for some Root Shikako and Sai? on a mission?

Just something rly rly short. [archiveofourown.org profile] bopeepwithnosheep gave Shikako her ROOT name. Set in Dark Fire universe.

“We have failed the mission,” Sai says. Or, the boy-who-will-be-Sai. Or… something.

Kou (her name is Kou now; if anyone asks her name has always been Kou, unless Danzou-sama decides she needs a new name) is a little fuzzy on the details. A little fuzzy on a lot of things — important things, dangerous things, world-ending things — but her ROOT partner is probably Sai-from-Before. And that makes him important, although not particularly trustworthy.

No one is trustworthy, these days. But the mission must go on and Kou isn’t ready to fail just yet.

“Have we?” Kou asks.

Sai frowns at her. He’s her senpai, and really does have the right to call when the mission is blown or not, but he’s by far the most permissive commanding officer she’s had. Almost like they’re friends. 

“Our mission parameters were clear,” Sai says.

Kou would shrug, here, but she’s been firmly instructed in just how much of a waste of time and energy things like shrugs are 

She says, “Taichou, our mission objective was clear. We could… finesse the parameters.”

It’s a little weird to call a boy as young as Sai ‘captain’ but… that’s how things are now. No use resisting. The only way out is through.

Sai doesn’t look happy — probably imagining Danzou-sama’s reaction if told they finessed anything — but he nods. “Tell me your idea,” he says.

He’s her favorite. He always wants to hear her ideas.

I love Sai and I love Shikako. I dislike Kako's apathy to her situation - "no use resisting" although it's obviously understandable? there's nothing she can do about it right now? - even as I feel like she's still got that goal of Ending Danzou, as seen in her aiming for a Way Out. If only I wasn't already worried her way out was in her death D: D: D: pls no

y does ur writing always make me feel things
