~Bittersweet Watermelon~

Chapter 1

"Wait! Juugo and Suigetsu are still there. We cannot leave them!" Karin said to Sasuke as she tried to gain on the pace of thier appointed leader.

"There's no time! We should leave them. Follow me!" He answered back without even looking.

So this was the second time he had done this. She thought. If this wasn't their situation now, she would follow him and she could care less but with injured team mates behind, she's having a second thought. She likes Sasuke but everytime he goes like this, sometimes even she doubts her 'love' for him. What kind of person will leave a team mate behind? Well, someone like the Uchiha. He even turned his back on his friends so what made her think Sasuke would care for them. Her thoughts were battling. She really likes the Uchiha but she knows that she isn't the same as him. She stopped and turned around.

"Where are you going?" The raven haired boy sarcastically asked her as he noticed she suddenly turned back.

"Just wait a moment, Sasuke. I'll just go get them!" She said hoping that he would listen to her. But she knew what his answer would be anyway.

"Idiot!" He thought to himself. "Fine! Do what you want!" Then he walked straight ahead leaving them all behind.

Karin eyed him in the corner of her eyes while she searched for Suigetsu and Juugo. She felt bad being dumped by him again but she was used to it anyway. She cursed her way towards those imbecile team mates of her. She would just look for Sasuke through his chakra but for now, she needed to find that annoying shark boy and that psychotic monster in the rubbles. She stopped as she arrived in the chaotic place and began sensing the two, until she found one...Juugo. She immediately went to him and found that he seemed fine.

"Juugo...are you ok?" She asked.

"Yeah! But Suigetsu..." the gentle guy said leaving Karin to wonder. And she couldn't explain but for some reason, she felt worried.

"So what happened to that asshole?" She asked.

"He was hit by the explosion. I don't know where he got thrown but he must have been hurt." He explained as he shook his head. "I hope it wasn't too serious!"

Karin couldn't understand but somehow she felt irritated hearing that news. She should be happy knowing Suigetsu could have been dead by now but that same thought also made her feel a little edgy.

"Oh...c'mon Juugo! Don't worry about him! It will be really nice if that ugly jerk is dead already!" She exclaimed. But Juugo could notice the bitterness in her eyes.

"Ah, Karin..." he said as the girl gave him an irritated look.

"What?" She asked crossly.

"Where's Sasuke?"

"Oh, yeah...he went that way. It's better if you run after him now. I'll go look if there's still something left of that jerk!" She said pointing to Sasuke's direction and running to the other side to look for Suigetsu. Juugo was quite surprised with this. Karin choose to look for Suigetsu instead of running after Sasuke herself. Well, that's new. He thought. So that look on her face, really do mean something.
