Thank you! The boots made it into the fic by accident. There needed to be something on top of the backpack when Sakura took it from her closet, so I put boots there, and when I needed to wrap up the fic I realized they were The Boots. I was pretty happy with that line; good to know it's striking.

I knew from moment one Sasuke was going to drug her. :3 Because that's what he does. Writing Naruto and Sakura together is always so much fun. I also like to think that Hinata left Sakura's house because her uncle and aunt got custody >_> Neji is the most well-adjusted in this verse it'd be eerie to think about it.
