Karin couldn't help but worry as she walked through the forest, not about where she was going but about what she was leaving behind (albeit only briefly). It had been seven years since the war ended and the five villages had come together and it was a time of peace. The Akatsuki were officially defeated, Madara was put into the ground for good, and there was actual peace on Earth.

After the war ended, Karin and the rest of Taka were offered a place in Konoha. While the deal was wonderful, Karin, Suigetsu, and Jugo could not take up that offer. Konoha had nothing for them and they would never truly be able to live peacefully there. They were rouges and they would always be rouges. Nothing was going to change that.

Not even with their fearless leader, Uchiha Sasuke, choosing to go back to Konoha. Karin didn't know the details of him going back and honestly she didn't want to. It broke her heart to think of Sasuke leaving them for his old home and team, but deep down she knew that's where he wanted to be, it's where he always wanted to be.

So Karin left immediately. Not so much a day had passed since the war ended when she left the hospital in Konoha. She didn't even so goodbye to an armless Sasuke would was in the next room over. How could she? His pink haired teammate, the one she replaced, was there with him. Karin couldn't see them together. It was too painful.

So when Karin left from Konoha without a peep, she had not expected to be stalked, that's right stalked, by the remaining members of Taka, Suigetsu and Jugo. Apparently they were on similar brainwaves of leaving Konoha. They mutually agreed that they would travel with each other until they got to Mist then they would split up. Suigetsu wanted to still gather those pathetic swords. Jugo just followed Suigetsu because he had no one else. Karin simply wanted to get as far away from Konoha as possible. It was a week trip and soon they were going to be out of each other's way, or so they thought.

But seven years had passed and they had been to Mist and back a thousand times along with Sand, Leaf, Cloud, and Stone as well as many other villages and they were still stuck with each other. Even more so than they were back when they were travelling with Sasuke. All because of one fateful night.

As Karin continued to leap through the trees, she began to think back to where it all started…

Five Years Ago

Karin stared at the fire pit with a blank look on her face. She couldn't believe it. This couldn't be happening to her. It just couldn't be possible…she couldn't be…no. There must be some sort of mistake. Perhaps she miscalculated…no…she double-triple checked. Karin clenched her eyes shut tightly. Fuck.

"Oi, what the fuck are you doing?" Suigetsu hollered as he returned to the camp site. In his hands, he carried a string with three large fish attached to it.

Karin looked up at Suigetsu slowly, taking in the sight of her teammate before speaking in a low voice. "My period is late."

Suigetsu made a disgusted face as he sat across from Karin. He really didn't want to talk to her about her woman problems and instantly regretted bring up any sort of conversation with her. "Ain't that a good thing?" He began to puncture each fish with a spear to cook over the fire. "You are always so fucking annoying when you have that thing."

Karin stared at Suigetsu for a long time. "How fucking stupid are you?" She hissed lowly as her hands clenched tightly into fists.

Suigetsu frowned. "I thought this was a good thing. The later it is the better." Suigetsu smirked. He wasn't sure what he was saying that was riling Karin up, but if he was pissing her off somehow, he was going to keep doing it.

"Suigetsu." Karin spoke evenly and emotionless. "Do you remember what we did last month?"

Suigetsu rolled his eyes. "Look Karin, we fucked one time. Don't get all lovey-dovey with me, because I'm not interested. I don't want broad to hold me down. The last thing I want is a relationship with you-" Suigetsu froze midsentence and realized what Karin was getting at. "Wait…"

At this moment, Jugo returned to the site with their water containers filled. Jugo frowned as he watched Karin and Suigetsu stare at each other. Karin's usually emotional face was void of emotion and Suigetsu look like someone had punched him hard in the stomach, his eyes as wide as saucers.

"Is everything okay?" Jugo asked as he sat down. The two of his teammates were acting odd. He didn't like it. He was the odd one, he knew that.

"Oh gods." Suigetsu muttered. He swung his gaze up and locked it with Karin's. "You can't be serious." Karin nodded her head gravely. Jugo still didn't understand what was going on but it didn't sound good. "How could you let this happen?" Suigetsu snapped at Karin suddenly.

Karin blinked. "Excuse me?" She snarled as she stood up from her stop and narrowed her eyes on him. "You think this is solely my fault?"

Suigetsu stood up as well with a snarky smile. "You would pull some shit like this! You're fucking crazy!"

Karin couldn't believe what she was hearing. "You think I want this? Oh you fucking crazy asshole!" She shrieked. "This is all your fault because you couldn't keep your fucking dick in your pants! I took fucking pity on your sorry ass because no one would fuck you and now look what you did to me." She barked as she pointed at her stomach.

"Me?" Suigetsu cried offended. "You wanted it just as much as me! With all your fucking bitching and moaning about missing fucking Sasuke and how you never got to fuck him, I was willing to fucking do anything to shut you the fuck up! And now look what you did!" Suigetsu pointed accusingly at the red head.

"Oh no!" Karin yelped. "Don't make this sound like you were doing me a fucking favor!"

Jugo frowned, still not fully understanding the context of what was happening.

Suigetsu took a dangerous step toward Karin. "You couldn't get over your fucking obsession with Sasuke and needed a good hard fucking that you were willing to take anyone. This is your fault." He glowered.

Karin closed the distance between the two of them, her face coming inches from his. "You know what? Fuck you! Don't act all dignified and saying you did me a fucking favor because you wanted to satisfy your own fucking need. So shut the fuck up."

"Karin?" Jugo, finally tired of being left in the dark attempted to gather the more reasonable of the two's attention.

"What?" Karin whipped her head around hissing at Jugo.

"Are you pregnant?"

The world hung in the air as silence fell over the three rouges. Crickets chirped in the background and the fire crackled quietly as each truly absorbed the meaning of these words.

Jugo watched carefully, unsure what was going to happen next. Karin didn't need to make a verbal response because Jugo got his answer from the somber look on Karin's face.

Suigetsu swallowed hard as he watched Karin carefully. He was still hoping this was all some mean prank or Karin fucked up. He was half hoping that any moment she would start bleeding. Her annoyance would be welcomed compared to the overwhelming, haunting, notion that she might be…

The words hit Karin hard. She blinked slowly as she felt tears collect in her eyes and threaten to fall. She was nineteen. She wasn't nearly old enough to take on the responsibility of being a mother, especially with those two idiots around her. Karin's body slowly began to tremble uncontrollably as the fear shook her body. Her knee felt weak and she grabbed to the nearest thing to support herself before her knees fully gave out.

Suigetsu stared at Karin as he watched her slowly loose it. It wasn't the tears in her eyes that made Suigetsu's heart stop or the trembling of her body that made his stomach clench uncomfortable with guilt. It was that weak grip on her hand on his arm that made him fully understand how scared she was right now. So Suigetsu did the only thing he could think of that might comfort her.

He slowly pulled her towards him and wrapped both his arms around her in some sort of awkward embrace. Karin stiffened in his arms and Suigetsu was about to let her go when she latched on to the front of his shirt and let out and loud sob, burying her face into his chest.

Suigetsu stared down at her and rubbed her back as she cried; all he could think about was some way to fix what they both fucked up.

Karin on the other hand was too overcome by the hard truth that she was going to give birth to a child, a living being, and she was going to have to make sure she didn't kill it.

Jugo, who sat off to the side of the hugging pair did the only thing he knew to do in this situation. He carefully, tended to the slightly burnt fish, trying to salvage what was left of their dinner. Matters of the heart were hard for Jugo to understand, but he knew the comfort of survival.

So for that night, no one spoke a word to each other. They ate their dinner in almost complete silence. Suigetsu breaking the silence to scrap off the burnt pieces of Karin's fish, briefly explaining that they were carcinogenic and bad for the body and silently implying bad for the baby. They finished up their dinner in more silence and went to bed quickly afterwards.

Jugo fell into a light sleep, enough to go to sleep but light enough that he could easily be woken by any intruders in the area. Karin and Suigetsu were in no condition to look after themselves, so Jugo willingly took on this role if it meant keeping the group together.

Karin lied beside Jugo and cried herself to sleep. It took a long while, but with some more comforting hugs from Suigetsu she managed to fall into a fitful, restless, uncomfortable sleep.

Suigetsu stayed up, keeping watch and thinking about what was going to happen to them know that Karin was expecting…well, expecting something. This was going to change their lives forever.
