"No... of course not." He muttered quietly. Of course not. He had Sasuke right here with him, and he knew there was more strength in the both of them when they worked together.

A long time ago, whenever Sasuke was distraught about something that had happened, a toy that had been broken or some friends that mentioned his hair or his family he'd had to console him not too unlike he was now, but he'd always cradled Sasuke's head against him then. He would have done the same now, if it weren't for his awareness of the state that Sasuke was in. This transformation concerned him more than he cared to admit.

Would Sasuke remain human... or would this take him over completely, and - if it did... would he be in his right mind?

"We need to act fast."
