Hi everyone! I'm here with this Karin story that I promised in the last chapter of New Future. Which I posted last summer.

I know there is no excuse for my laziness, or the epic shortness of this story, but I was really bored on a Friday night, so I finally got around to writing it, and I can't really do any better than this, since I'm not really into this fandom all that much anymore.

This exists in the Karin anime "universe" only, because it focuses on Maki's feelings for Winner Sinclair (who is not featured in the manga), and her feelings of jealousy towards Karin. She feels that Karin entirely takes Winner for granted and does not care about his feelings, even though, really, Karin is simply too clueless to do anything to get Winner to leave her alone.

I really liked Maki and empathized with her and the way she feels. I think that she should have had just a tad more development as a character, she was lovely. I hope that everyone enjoys this, even if it isn't that well written.

Disclaimer: I don't own Karin. If I did, someone would have given Winner a swift kick to the head and knock some sense into him, so he would realize that he really loves Maki and not "Miss Karin".

PS: All Italics are quoting Winner.

Supporting Cast

-

I was always the sidekick.

"Why hello, Miss Karin! And hello, Miss Karin's Friend-and-Sidekick!"

But really, I guess I always felt like that when I was around Karin. Like she was the star of a huge production called life, and I was just supporting cast.

Never to be developed, fall in love, or receive any kind of credit or forgiveness. To be hated, pitied, or forgotten. Maybe all in that order.

Trivial. Unimportant. Unnoticed.

"I'm sorry, Miss Karin's Friend-and-Sidekick, but if this is some trivial matter, could it possibly wait until later!?"

And totally...

Invisible.

I loved him, more than she ever could or would. But he would never know, because he was captivated by the light that illuminated from her, the true star that she was, is, and always will be.

And she just takes all of his beautiful, deep feelings for granted. She doesn't even care. She notices, but she doesn't care.

Sometimes, if I close my eyes tight enough, in the hours when sleep evades me, I can still feel his lips on mine. And I always cry, because even if I wasn't the star, won't be the star, I still had a purpose.

My purpose was to love him, care for him, to embrace and admire him for who he truly is.

But she took it away from me, and didn't even care.

But Karin is my best friend, and I am something like her shadow.

I guess you could call it a real love/hate friendship. I walk the bitter line of jealousy and envy, the line separating me from the light happiness that came from hearing his voice.

And that is the end of my story, in this production called life.

[END]

Hope that you all enjoyed this! Please leave a review and let me know what you think!
