Disclaime: Naruto doens't belong to me, but I like to play it with the characters.


...Cherry Pink & Blossom White...


When the semester ended, Ino took upon herself to plan Shikamaru's birthday. She invited all his closest friends to go clubing, including another blond girl that Karin came to know it was the pineapple's head girlfriend, that studied in ANOTHER country!

How the hell people invest in a relationship where your significant other is away 90% of the time?

Even not linking Ino very much, Karin had to concede to the blond: the club they were was fantastic, it had great music and the cabin she booked for the night was filled with free drinks and good food.

After a toast in honor of the birthday boy, the girls decided to dance. Karin tagged along, hoping that Sasuke would enjoy the dark of the night club to come out of his shell, there was booze in buckets to give him courage as well in case that fails and after so many months of tip toying around each other, Karin hoped he would - finally - make a move on her.

A couple of hours later enjoying the dance floor - without Sasuke - some beers and turning down random guys, the group decided to go back to the cabin and enjoy Shikamaru's company. She turned to talk with Sasuke, Juugo and Suigetsu when Hinata, sweet and quiet Hinata, screamed through the music a name the redhead never heard before "Sakura!"

She slowly turned to the entry of the cabin and saw her cousin crushing a little pink haired girl. Karin watched the interaction between the new girl and her friends and realised Sakura, as Hinata called her, was not actually new to them: the pinket smiled, touched and joked with everyone like she belonged on their routine.

Than, Naruto decided it was good to introduce Sakura to their new three additions "Guys! This is Sakura-chan! She's one of our oldest friends!" Both came walking to their direction together, his left arm was throughned around her shoulders "And she decided we weren't good enough for her and went aaaaaall the way to Kiri for a degree!" Looking smug, Naruto decided to add "What would Kakashi-sensei tough of you? Abandoning your friends, tsc, tsc, tsc..." he made a negative movement with his head.

"Naruto! Watch what you're saying!" Sakura said piss of and crossed her arms "I didn't abandon anyone! And Kiri was the only choice I had!"

"You know that's a lie Sakura-chan, you could very well stayed here with us" He squeezed her tighter "And someone might say you actually abandoned him..."

Now the pinket looked alarmed, giving her full attention to Naruto "He would never say something like that"

Still looking very satisfied with himself, he answered "But we know he doesn't need to say anything"

Dismissing what she just heard, she turned back to the trio in front of her "Sorry guys, Naruto doesn't watch what he says most of the time, but I think you all noticed that" Suigetsu laughed and opened his mouth to say something, but was beaten by Ino that putted a drink in Sakura's hand and dragged the girl to the dance floor.

Karin, sort of dizzy by all the information she just received in the 5 minute conversation she watched, decided to stay and think. At first, she thought that the pinket might be a threat, but after analyzing the interactions, she noticed that neither she or Sasuke talked besides the greeting when she arrived.

The redhead walked to stand next to Sasuke, planing of having a conversation with him and noticed that besides them, only Juugo was in the cabin. Perfect, they were almost alone.

In the middle of the talk, starting to feel the side effects of drinking so much beer, Karin decides that a trip to the bathroom was needed. She excused herself with the excuse of reapplying her make up and left.

When she was done, she went to wash her hands and fix her hair. She hear the bathroom door opening and Ino coming in. The blond girl stopped in the sink right next to hers and started to apply a new layer of her lipstick. "I don't think you noticed, but there's no chance Sasuke would be with you" both girls lock eyes through the mirror.

"With eyes so beautiful as yours, I didn't know that you could be were so blind, Ino" she smirks "But I don't think you noticed that from all of the girl in KU, I'm the only one that Sasuke-kun really talks on daily basis." fixing her glasses she added "And he actually talks to me and because he wants to" the blond grunts but Karin was going to make her understand that what was going on with her and Sasuke was real and neither she or other fangirl would ruin it " So if I were you, I would back of"

Ino laughs a little and smirks to Karin "Who said it's me you should be aware of?" she checks herself for the last time in the mirror and goes straight to the bathroom door. But before she could leave her head turns over her shoulder and her eyes looks to redhead again "Ah, thanks for the compliment, by the way".

Karin follows the door closing and cursed. Taking a moment to recompose herself, she decides not look into what Ino said. If the blond wants to have a heart-break by not backing off, who was Karin to not sit back and enjoy it? She was also not backing off because of an empty threat, she was an Uzumaki after all and her family never gives up of what they want.

She walked back to the cabin and searched for the dark haired man and found none. In the little chat she had with Ino, Sasuke has left.


To all the guest who couldn't wait for Sakura, here she is! I try not to bash Karin, but I honestly think that her love for Sasuke was a little shallow and that's what I'm trying to bring it here. She's an awesome friend, though.

A special thanks to the guest that told me about my grammar, I know that a lot of mistakes will follow. But I apreciatted you told me of them politely. I'll find an beta reader ASAP. Until then I hope you can bear with my misspellings.

I already have the final chapter wrote down, so I'll just wait a little bit before posting here.

Thanks to all of you!

See you next chapter!
