It only took a few days for the sandal marks to disappear from Sasuke's face and during that time Konoha's perspective on the girl from the Sound changed. Why pint sized ninjas helped her with groceries and random chores through the city and randomly giggled confused her to no end. The ramen people were quite friendly to her- go figure and the academy teacher seemed to think it was his personal mission to educate her in Konoha's history. He was good at it but the whole set fo circumstances only confused her. Karin had met a few more of the Rookie Nine, including a very bloody encounter with Sai and her foot.
Personally she felt if they were having sex they should at least match somehow. Ino found it funny at least. It wasn't until Karin met Hinata that the smiles and glares towards her made a bit more sense.
"Karin-san, do you have a moment?" Karin was just cooling down from a small training exercise to keep herself in shape. While she wasn't an official ninja of Konoha yet it would not do to be rusty if she were ever given the hitie-ate. A blank eyed girl smaller then her approached soundlessly looking only slightly aggravated.
"Uhmm, yes?" CRACK!
Karin's glasses hung off of one ear while the opposite cheek shined red from the slap. Despite being a well trained Kunoichi for quite a few years, she just stared stupidly at the girl in front of her.
"What was that for?!"
The girl's purple jacket swung off and she moved into a stance she'd seen Sasuke do once or twice. Obviously he copied it from her or her clan. Her footwear denoted nobility of some kind but the girl's natural fitness practically screamed ninja clan. There dark clothes underneath the jacket and her body was nearly shaking in anger.
"You…you dirty tramp! How could you just lead Naruto-kun like that and not even appreciate him?"
This girl is out of her mind. When Karin saw the tears welling in her opponents eyes she backed up and moved into her own stance. An upset Kunoichi was never a gentle one. Where the hell she was getting this idea about her and the dobe were unbelievable though/ When the girl moved to hit her Karin slide under the arm and shot her leg straight up into her opponent's jaw. A few fingers tapped into Karin's shoulder paralyzing the chakra there and Karin back away a few feet.
A Hyuuga, of course! How stupid could I be to not see that. Karin tried to make a seal but it was difficult what that pathway being blocked. The only satisfaction was that Hyuuga had a broken and bloody jaw. Hyuuga ran towards her again and her strikes came faster then before. Since Karin could only dodge so many she used her right arm to take even more pathway damage. While her arm was distracting the other girl Karin pulled out a kunai and dug her knee into the other's stomach. In the moment she pulled the girl's head back and slashed the kunai across her face before retreating another few feet. It would be a tough battle if this went on much longer. Both of their skills relied on chakra control and the exact points of it.
Her right arm was useless as it just flopped there, chakra damage and general impact bruises decorated the length of it. The Hyuuga, however, was doing far worse with a deep gash to go with the broken jaw. Just as Karin was about to throw the kunai towards a vital spot they were interrupted.
"Hinata-sama. What did you do to her?" A man who had the same blank eyes as Hyuuga Hinata went to gather her up and glared at her. Dimly she was aware that this was Ino's beau, not that it meant much to her. The other person was slowly walking towards them.
Impressive glare. Seen better though. Sasuke appeared in front of her and blocked the other Hyuuga's glare.
"Karin get to the house now." She knew that tone of voice and took off to her bed. It was very reminiscent of their Akatsuki hunt and almost demeaning towards her, but she knew he didn't mean it. He never really was one for kind words. As she passed through the village she sneered in disgust. No wonder Orochimaru-sama left Kohona. They were all psychotic assholes.

Karin made it a point to leave the Uchiha district whenever Sai came around but usually that meant just wandering the streets for a few hours. Back in the sound base she'd check up on the patients when she was bored or train with a friend- here she had neither.
Well I wouldn't say that…Despite all her intellect she could not understand why seemingly random ninja choose to associate with her. A ninja academy teacher, one genin ninja squad, the ramen people, and the Hokage's assistant all went out of their way to make her comfortable. Every now and again she'd run into Anko who had drilled her for Orochimaru related information upon first entering the Leaf but that was one person she did not want to meet again.
It might be due to the fact that Karin fully supported and studied the experiments on Anko's files in the Sound but whatever. Maybe they'd let her dismantle Orochimaru's base here. He had left in a hurry and probably left things behind.
The rookie nine, save Hinata ( who had a nice scar on her face thanks to her!) were pleasant enough. The pink haired girl was always a bit edgy towards her but that seemed to be a Sasuke-fangirl trait.
That left her with one option really. REALLY! It was the only well though out and plausible one. With two cartons of Ichiraku take out in her hands Karin found Naruto talking with a few friends of his on the "Team Seven Bridge".
"Dobe you're coming with me. I need you to move some things around the complex." Karin's greeting was a casual kick to the head but no where near as aggressively as when she tried to hurt people. He rubbed his headed and waved off his friends like nothing had happened.
"See you guys." Looking at her with that stupid kicked puppy grin and teary eyes the whining began.
"Did you have to kick me in the head? I would have helped you anyway-ttebayo!" Naruto walked along with her slurping at his noodles occasionally in generally jolly manner for someone who had just been kicked in the head. They were taking their time to get to the Uchiha's district. Neighter one of them wanted to walk in on Sasuke and Sai- it would just be too scaring to handle. It had happened to Sakura and she had been jittery for days.
"Do you think the Old Hag's going to make you a leaf ninja soon?" Little bits of noodle and vegetable sprayed out of his mouth when he spoke.
"Argh!" She dropped her head into her hands cradling it. "I've obviously spent too much time with you dobe. I can understand that gibberish you speak! As for Godaime-sama I have no idea. Defending myself against the Hyuuga heir didn't improve my standing either."
"I still can't believe Hinata would attack somebody she's too nice! But don't worry, I'm going to be the next Hokage and if the Hag doesn't register you by then I'll do it!" It was a shame to see an eighteen-year-old man look like such a little kid.
"Eh you've still got a least a few more years before that. Hope she lets me go on missions before then." Karin had thought she snubbed Naruto with a pretty decent insult- calling him too inexperienced to be Hokage.
Even the smart ones can be wrong sometimes it seemed.

For the second time since she's meet him Karin found herself being completely stared by the orange ninja and once again overwhelmed from the intensity. He finished his noodles on the way there silently and a lot calmer which unnerved her even more.
Sasuke had dragged Karin into an everyday ritual of tea drinking and talking about their days. She bet that soon enough Sai would be joining them and that Naruto would be dragged in as well and Sakura would undoubtably follow.
"…you told dobe that he had a few more years before he'd be able to be Hokage." Sasuke never asked questions nor lead into them. How the hell did he hear about that though?!
"Yes I did. Why did he really get upset over that?" If he was, Karin would eat Suigetsu's wet, moldy shoes. She'd called him worse and even attacked him on occasion, hell she took his ramen! That was almost sacrilegious itself. Sasuke pulled out a magazine out of the folds of his robes and threw it at her.
It was a wedding gown magazine. Karin bugged out.
"I AM NOT HELPING SAI PICK OUT HIS DRESS! NO NO NO NO" She started swatting it away like it was some foul bug. Sasuke chuckled.
"Its for you. You should start planning for a wedding now. You're going to become very busy soon thanks to Naruto." Shit this was serious, Sasuke actually said his name without an insult.
"Sasuke-kun? Want another imprint ON YOUR FACE!" Its amazing really how close the lines between love and rage are. There was certainly a lot of love in their one occupied house.
A lot more rage then love, but it was all good.

The next day Godaime-sama called Karin to her office with a hitie-ate and ninja registration. Instead of the usual look of contempt and scowl saved for Orochimaru's followers there was a smirk and appraising look.
"Congratulations. Its nice to know that someone smart is going to stick around with Naruto for a while. Just don't do something incredibly stupid."
Karin decided to figure out what exactly she'd done to get this with that smear (okay, scar) on her record. After she brought Naruto some ramen for lunch. Without a doubt he had something to do with this. Ino's giggles from down the hall weren't helping much either.
Why the hell are Konoha ninja always so damn happy for no reason?!
