Can't Forget

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am all but a tool for him to use.

Can't forget. Not at all.

Originally, I relished the thought of being wanted in a way, when he recruited me. The fact that he was Sasuke Uchiha only added more of a flavor to the prize. But when it boils down to it…

He doesn't care.

As each day goes by, we're getting closer to his goal. And when he reaches it, I will be of no further use. Discarded. Never mind the hardship. Huh. Just like Orochimaru.

When this painful realization hit me, I wanted to push it all away. Escape. I decided then, that this Uchiha would become my everything. Obsess over him. To forget. It would only be fitting, ironic even, to direct all of my affection toward the one who causes me torment. Would it not?

But I can't. Can't forget.

But he pushes me away, even with my undying devotion. I may come off strong, but does he not like the thought of being cared for? Was he not hugged enough as a child?

I am willing to do almost anything for him. To him.

I am willing to care for him.

I call for him.

"Sasuke-kun..."

If I'm so willing to do all these things, why doesn't he see that?

Yet, he acts as if I leave a bad taste in his mouth.

The fish bastard doesn't much help either, with his insults. And I'll quickly fire right back. The arguments can get tiring for the others, from what I can tell. But when I think about it now, they help. The jerk provides another distraction. He almost helps me forget. Almost.

I can't forget. Can't forget...

A/N- Yeah. A little oneshot for Karin, for this girl gets almost no love in this fandom. I believe her to a parody, as I have stated in forums, of that of a crazed fangirl. Why doesn't anyone see it that way? If you hate Karin, please don't state this in your review as that is not what this is here for. Feedback, however, is always welcomed.

R&R!
