🐺Satoshi Kanemaru (金丸聡): Hey, Sakura. Nice to see you here.

🐺Sakura Kawada (山田桜): Hi, Satoshi-chan! I haven’t seen you since school. What have you been doing?

🐺Satoshi Kanemaru (金丸聡): Nothing much. I was trying to come up with some ideas for my new science project.

🐺Sakura Kawada (山田桜): Maybe like a new crime-fighting droid perhaps?

🐺Satoshi Kanemaru (金丸聡): No, it’s something else, but that’s not what I’m here to tell you; there’s something else I have to talk to you about.

🐺Sakura Kawada (山田桜): What is it?

🐺Satoshi Kanemaru (金丸聡): I love you so much, I really do, but I have a confession to make. Please don’t tell anyone about it…

🐺Sakura Kawada (山田桜): Of course. I won’t tell anyone. I promise. Cross my heart.

🐺Satoshi Kanemaru (金丸聡): *sighs nervously* I’m Spider-Wolf.

🐺Sakura Kawada (山田桜): Wait, you're really Spider-Wolf?

🐺Satoshi Kanemaru (金丸聡): Yes, it’s true. My father wanted to help people. Now, I try to do the same.

🐺Sakura Kawada (山田桜): I understand you’re just scared and I'm sure about what people might judge you if you did.

🐺Satoshi Kanemaru (金丸聡): Well, I don't like being judged…

🐺Sakura Kawada (山田桜): It doesn’t matter if anyone would judge you about your purpose. I love you no matter what with all my heart, Satoshi-chan. I always do too much no matter how much you’ve tried to hide your secret from the public. I wanted to thank you for saving me because you’ve been trying to just be yourself. You’re the Satoshi Kanemaru I’ve always known and loved even if you are Spider-Wolf, you’re still my hero.

🐺Satoshi Kanemaru (金丸聡): *blushes* Thanks, Sakura.

🐺Sakura Kawada (山田桜): But I have something to tell you too. Like you, I couldn't take it when I felt like I was invisible, especially when the other popular girls in school pretended I didn’t even exist. So, I happened to train secretly……..as a kunoichi (female ninja). So, like you, I never wanted to waste my life stressed out from saving many lives in peril.

🐺Satoshi Kanemaru (金丸聡): What are you talking about?

🐺Sakura Kawada (山田桜): I'm the Momokage (桃影, translates to "Pink Shadow").

🐺Satoshi Kanemaru (金丸聡): What?

(flashback of Spider-Wolf fighting the Momokage)

🐺Satoshi Kanemaru (金丸聡): You were the Momokage?

🐺Sakura Kawada (山田桜): *in tears* Yes, I’m sorry… but I never wanted to tell anyone about this. Especially to you. I thought you’d find me something horrible……. I kept that a secret from my dad about it too, even my mom and my little sister as well……… I’m… sorry…… *sobbing fearing she’d lose Satoshi for a boyfriend from her secret*

🐺Satoshi Kanemaru (金丸聡): Sakura, look at me. It’s okay, I love you too with all my heart no matter if your secret is trying to get cover blown, even if it’s the only way to keep it all hidden, I will always help you with our secrets to stay hidden and try to be by your side, Sakura-chan. By the way, I’m so glad to find someone like me as you being a ninja like I was.

🐺Sakura Kawada (山田桜): Really?

🐺Satoshi Kanemaru (金丸聡): Of course, I do, I never thought I’d see anyone trying to fit in the crowd much brighter than I. And I’m surprised even ninjas gained lovers as partners.

🐺Sakura Kawada (山田桜): *giggles* Me too. *kisses Satoshi on the cheek* Thank you so much for understanding me.

🐺Satoshi Kanemaru (金丸聡): You're welcome. For a moment there, I didn't know what I saying until now… I’m sorry for hurting you. I didn’t even know you were the Momokage.

🐺Sakura Kawada (山田桜): It’s okay. It’s not your fault. I forgive you.

🐺Satoshi Kanemaru (金丸聡): The sun is setting, see you tomorrow at school, Momokage.

🐺Sakura Kawada (山田桜): See ya around, Spider-Wolf.
