._. Before you ask, yes. I did use a reference picture for Sasuke. 'Cause this was the first time I drew him and I needed a reference. x.x I'm bad at recalling characters from memory if I've never drawn them before. Unless they're my own. =3 But a cute picture. Yeah, in my fic, Hikari starts looking to Sasuke as an older brother (Hence, the "Sasuke-nii" nickname after she learns how to speak.) o.o And she got him to smile! Oh emm gee. Still, Hikari prefers Naruto to Sasuke. She also views him as an older brother. The older brother she never had and always wanted. See, Naruto is the kind of brother she can goof off and eat lots o' ramen with. =3 Sasuke, well, she sees him like I used to view my second oldest brother. The knight in shining armor that'll do anything to protect you. ._. I miss that feeling with my brother. Now, it's there, but barely. ;>_> Anyway, yeah. Somewhere in the fic, Hikari starts talking just a lil' bit. Mainly names. She'll say a few phrases here and there, but it's mostly her usual "Mm"s and "Ah"s.
