Bitter as Blood (sequel to DAW)

Miki's loyalties to her heart are becoming difficult. She doesn't know who to rely on, who to trust, or what will happen. Her fears of Mei are increasing as things begin picking up and more deaths are occurring. Ryuu is becoming distant and almost cold and her relationships with the village are becoming strained. The Leaf is suspicious of a former Akatsuki member, and Mei will do all she can to use that as an advantage.....let the rivalry begin.
