Karin was sitting on a log. It was a nice log. Comfortable, flat, and she was able to sit down and stare into the fire without having to move around every few minutes to make sure her posterior didn't go numb. All in all, the log was great. As she was staring absentmindedly into the fire, her hands reached up and gently parted her hair. Pulling half of it to one side, she separated it again into three, beginning to plait it.
Once she finished plaiting it, she threw it over her shoulder and started on the other half of her hair. She was so absorbed in watching the flickering flames that once she finished doing her second plait, she didn't even absorb the fact that her first plait had come undone faster than expected. Distracted, she pulled it all forward and plaited it again.
After doing the same thing three more times, she finally realised what was happening and looked at her hair in disbelief. It was only then that she felt the presence of somebody behind her and she whirled around to see Suigetsu leaning against a tree with his hands behind his head, eyes closed and whistling nonchalantly. She stood and glared at him.
"Suigetsu! Just when I start to think you're ok, you go and pull a prank like that!"
He opened one eye and looked at her.
"What?"
She stomped around the log and put her hands on her hips.
"I did nothing!"
"I never said you did. But you looked so comfortable I just had to do something to break the monotony."
He smirked. She growled. And he was gone like a bullet out of the clearing and into the darkness. She clenched her fists and raced after him, a red blur disappearing from the campsite. Sasuke just lifted his cup and drank from it, not even bothering to open his eyes. Juugo looked between Sasuke and the spot where the two were standing before they went running through the dark after each other. And shrugged. Whatever the two were doing chasing each other around in the dark forest was none of his concern, even though he could hear the whoops from Suigetsu and the screeches from Karin. He sighed. It was going to be a long night.
A/N: If you've ever seen that picture where Karin and Suigetsu are sitting together and they're almost glaring at each other whilst plaiting her hair, you'd understand this story. JSYK.
