Suigetsu sighed. Karin was going on and on about the fact it was Christmas Eve. She'd wanted to stop and celebrate the following day. Eventually, Sasuke had given in because she was so annoying so there they were, sitting in some dingy ruin where no-one would find them, sitting and basically doing nothing. Waiting for Christmas (to be over!). Well, what was there to do when they were criminals on the run so they couldn't go anywhere civilised?
He sat and stared at the red-haired kunoichi that had forced the boredom onto them. He'd never really realised how pretty she actually was... He shook his head. That was not the sort of thing he should be thinking. But it was Christmas... Damn hormones. He was a sixteen year old boy for goodness sake! He didn't want to admit it... but he thought that he would have to. He was falling head over heels for her... at Christmas of all times!
Karin looked at the silver haired water ninja and averted her gaze quickly because he was staring at her. She looked up a few minutes later and scowled. He was still staring at her. She stood and walked over to him. He looked up at her in surprise.
"What?" he asked.
"Outside. Now." To her surprise he didn't protest. She followed him out.
"Why are you staring at me?" she demanded.
"Who says I was staring at you?" he asked. Trying to act innocent.
"I saw you. You've been staring at me for ten minutes now." She jumped as his cold hand found hers.
She looked in his eyes and saw the look on his face, but couldn't place it. It looked like love... but it couldn't be... could it? Then she realised that it could be... because love was stirring in her own heart...
He pulled her closer and she closed her eyes, half expecting a peck on the cheek. She gasped as his mouth collided with hers, giving him an entry which he had no second thoughts about taking. She was frozen for a minute before kissing him back. In the distance she could hear singing – from the nearby town she summarised.
The next year, it was nowhere near as pleasant. They shouted and swore at each other, cursing the fact that they ever thought that they could love each other. In the distance they could hear the nearby town's bells and singing.
Karin was furious with him. The fact that he had taken everything from her.
I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
Suigetsu grinned, knowing that that was why she was so angry. He'd kept everything that he'd taken from her. He was never going to give it back... he couldn't. And in the distance the bells and singing could still be heard.
Merry Christmas!
I was listening to this song and Suigetsu and Karin sprang to mind so...
Anyway, merry Christmas!
