That Aidou's next object of concern resided in the female cell blocks would have been more inconvenient without the shortcut provided by the ring -- if Aidou wanted to raise objections about its use even after this much time had passed without noticeable negative consequences (and here, that was good enough for Sasuke), Sasuke was prepared to simply grab the vampire's hand and take him without preamble. After all, it wasn't as if there were any witnesses left to the hideous and deliberately-fueled misunderstanding that had arisen from their one unpleasant sortie with Naruto.

Not that that was a name that bore remembering after this much time (not that any of those were names that intruded no matter how much time). Sasuke turned his attention to the question Aidou posed with a tensing of his features.

"To town? I was. I was on the bus that attempted to riot." With predictable consequences.
