Note: This chapter is shorter because it is the prologue. Chapters after this will be considerably longer. Also, this is my first SessKag fic!!! Enjoy!

A flash of panicked tan and silver rushed out of a brand new village house, barely managing to pull up his red hakama and suikan in his mad dash towards the forest named after him. Sheer desperation fueled his flight, moonlight barely lighting the way on his path.

Both she and the bed would remain empty for the next six years.
