Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction using the characters from the manga/anime series, Naruto, which was created by Masashi Kishimoto.
Author's Note: AHHHHHHH, I'm finally finished! I've actually been working on this fanfic for months, but I didn't want to publish it until it was complete (because I don't want to be that author who never updates).
What compelled me to write this was 1.) the disheartening lack of SuiKa fic. NaruHina is my OTP, but come on, they have a million fanfics. SuiKa deserves some major love, 2.) I find Karin to be an interesting and extremely underrated character. I wanted to give her the character development she deserves and treat her as more than a batshit-crazy Sasuke fanatic. I originally intended to make this fic more psychological, but I found it got too jargon-y. Instead, I focused on not only her relationship with Suigetsu, and a bit of female friendship development as well (if Kishi gives us female friendship scenes at this point I will actually cry) and 3.) SuiKa is fucking sexy.
I do realize that as the events in the manga unravel, a lot of this might be negated but it's fic for a reason!
Oh, and side pairings are NaruHina, ShikaTema and hints of SasuSaku. There also had to be a bit of SasuKarin, but I will not leave you in suspense: this ain't a SasuKarin fic.
Please leave feedback (positive or negative) for me, as writing is my passion and I want to improve.
Chapter 1
Karin felt the warm sun filtering in through a crack in the tent. She groaned as it hit her eyes, causing her to come to the groggy realization that she was awake.
"Sasuke…" she muttered, rolling over to cuddle back into her sleeping lover's arms. Except when she opened her eyes, it wasn't Sasuke's naked flesh that she was pressed up against.
Karin screamed the most bloodcurdling scream Suigetsu had ever heard, waking him up abruptly from a deep sleep.
"Whaaaaaaa-?" he asked groggily, scratching his white hair that had gotten a bit messed up overnight.
"How is it you?! It's not supposed to be you. Is this some kind of joke?!" Karin screeched. She was huddling in the side of the tent, hands guarding her bare chest yet legs spread wide open, leaving nothing to the imagination.
Suigetsu, coming to his senses, chuckled, "Heh. 'Fraid not. Your beloved Sasuke is with Juugo in the other tent. I hope you didn't wake them up with your banshee shriek…but then again, you certainly were anything but quiet last night."
"No," was all Karin could muster. She refused to believe what was happening. But Sasuke was there…we were kissing…and then we went into the tent…and I don't remember, but then we were fucking and it hurt, but it felt so, so good. Karin tried to remember Sasuke's chest moving hypnotically over her as he thrust into her, but somehow Karin knew that the body she was digging her nails into from all the pleasure was not his.
"Still don't believe me? Look at your chest," said Suigetsu, snapping Karin out of her daze.
Karin uncupped her hands from her breasts. There were red bite marks running from her breasts to her neck. Not even Karin could deny that these bites looked more like animal bites than that of Sasuke's nibbles when he had been injured.
"That ain't Sasuke's work and you know it. To think it would be so easy to cut your true love into little pieces…I'm actually quite disappointed." Suigetsu flashed her a toothy grin, baring the evidence with those awful inhuman teeth of his. He did this to ruin her; she just knew it. Karin despised him more than she ever possibly thought she could at that moment.
"You scum! You Kappa! When Sasuke finds out about you using alcohol to take advantage of a poor maiden—!" Karin yelled, but Suigetsu crawled out of the blankets and covered his hand over her mouth. His chakra felt like salty water.
"Shut up and calm down! Sasuke is still recovering," Suigetsu whispered sharply at her. He uncovered her mouth. "Besides, it was 100% consensual. You were begging me to take you. You were quite aggressive about it." Suigetsu grabbed his tank top, which had apparently been ripped down the middle.
"That's because I was drunk and thought you were Sa-someone else," Karin scowled. She couldn't help but notice Suigetsu's muscular naked body. She tried not to look at his dick.
"Then how come you were screaming my name while I fucked you?" Suigetsu asked coolly.
"That's—that's a lie!" Karin stammered, fearful of what may have truly happened. No… how could I let that foul, smelly fish deflower me when I had been waiting so patiently for Sasuke…how could I, with HIM of all people?! If Sasuke finds out…
"Well, then I'll just ask Sasuke and Juugo what they heard. Your noises were….hard to ignore," said Suigetsu smugly.
"NO!" Karin cried. "NO! Sasuke must not know! No one must know! This never happened!"
Suigetsu sighed. "Look, Karin…I don't want to pry if this is something personal, but you need to let this whole Sasuke-Sasuke thing go. I don't know exactly what happened between you two when Juugo and I weren't there, but—"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Karin interrupted nervously, trying to push the traumatic memories she had repressed away in the darkest recesses of her mind. Like what happened to my parents…and the village…and all those experiments with Orochimaru-sama…and Sasuke…no…no…that didn't happen. Karin realized that she had started to cry.
"Woah, woah! I didn't want to open a can of worms…I just…" Suigetsu got an uneasy look on his face. He scratched the back of his head and looked away.
Karin did not know what to think. Everything was just too overwhelming to think about. So she just continued to cry while Suigetsu sat there awkwardly. But then Karin chastised herself for appearing weak in front of Suigetsu of all people, so she wiped the tears from her eyes. It was then that she got a real glimpse of Suigetsu's penis.
"AH! GET IT AWAY!" Karin shrieked as she backed up further into the tent, almost collapsing it.
"That's not what you said last night," Suigetsu muttered, looking frustrated.
"Whatever! I'm leaving! This never happened!" Karin quickly reached for those ugly, dirty prison rags she had been wearing, but Suigetsu interrupted, "You don't have to wear that shit anymore, Karin. I snatched some Konoha uniforms from a nearby camp so we don't look suspicious. The owners are dead, so, it's not really stealing…"
Karin grabbed the uniform. As she was pulling the navy blue shirt over her head, an alarming thought occurred to her.
"Did you wear a condom?"
Suigetsu's face turned even more ashen than it normally was.
"Shit."
"YOU SPILLED YOUR SMELLY FISH CUM INSIDE OF ME?!" Karin shrieked. "YOU PROBABLY HAVE AN STD—NOW MY BODY WILL ROT—"
"Calm the fuck down," Suigetsu muttered. A blush spread across his cheeks.
"Besides, Orochimaru-sama kept me in a tank for most of my adolescence so…I couldn't have done it before even if I wanted to. I'm completely clean. I'm the one who should be worried about you. Have you fucked Sasuke or not?"
"W-what's it to you?!" Karin sputtered.
"Come on, Karin. I know you have the hots for him. You act like a bitch in heat around him, and you said it yourself that he used you. Plus, you didn't bleed when I fucked you," said Suigetsu.
It's true that Karin had not bled, but that was because her hymen had been stretched out several years before. She had never actually had sex until last night. Still, she didn't want to admit that Suigetsu had been her first.
"Fine, I fucked him! But wipe that disgusting smirk off your face because he was so much better than you! And unlike you, he doesn't need to compensate for anything with his sword!"
Suigetsu grimaced, but then spat back, "I'm a grower, not a show-er. You seemed to find it big enough last night."
Shit. It was all coming back to Karin now. Using his water engorgement technique, Suigetsu made his dick sufficiently large. It had made the sex slightly uncomfortable for Karin, but there was pleasure mixed in with that pain, and Karin could never forget that orgasm...
"Psh! Yeah right! I could barely feel it!" Karin argued back unconvincingly.
"Then I guess I just can't compare to Sasuke's meter-long dick." Suigetsu sneered. "Or have you been pleasuring yourself with the executioner's blade? I feel bad for whoever has it now…"
"Fuck you, pervert. I am so done with you trying to ruin my life. If Sasuke disbands us then I am going to make it a priority to never see your ugly face again," Karin replied coldly.
"I'm trying to ruin your life? That's a really interesting thing to say, especially considering the way your beloved Sasuke took a massive shit on you and dumped your ass. You told me yourself last night; don't deny it. If anything, I'm trying to help you," Suigetsu retorted.
"He—he said he was sorry!" Karin nearly cried. "And now you've ruined our relationship and I could be knocked up—"
Shit. As the consequences dawned on her, she felt a nauseous feeling rise within her. Having a baby now would just make her a burden to Sasuke – especially if the baby wasn't his. She just knew she was going to have a full out panic attack. She could feel it coming on. All of a sudden, she felt sharp pains in her abdomen and her throat closed up. Except when she looked to see Suigetsu, she saw Sasuke there instead and he was stabbing her in the womb.
"You're no use to me if you have this brat growing in your belly," he said coldly.
The last thing Karin remembered after the screaming and pulling her hair out was the vomiting. Then everything went black.
