We're black and blue

And in love with misery

Clear Blue Sky

The day in which Karin became Karin Uchiha, Sakura felt a veil of numb indifference fall over herself, she's supposed to be jealous, she thinks, but really, she's so tired she can barely even muster an upward pull of her lips. As she sits in the front row, next to Ino, who had been married to Chouji earlier this week, she notices that the blonde is fiddling with her ring, almost in an anxious manner. Not one to question her female best friend, she averts her gaze so that she's staring down the aisle, watching Karin walk across, wearing her white wedding dress. The blue eyed woman next to her can only twist her features into a cruel sneer and say how the white clashed so horribly with the red haired medic's hair and eyes.

Hearing her best friend attempt to make her feel better, the green eyed woman forcefully tugged her mouth upwards, but as soon as the slip of a smile appeared, it fades as Sakura sees red-haired Karin smile victoriously at her and in return, the head medic grins back, a full stretched smile that appears hellish with her tired eyes and pale complexion.

When the ceremony is almost halfway through to where Sasuke and Karin would take their vows, the pink haired kunoichi fades away from reality, she decides she doesn't want to be present for their special moment. As she wanders slowly through her thoughts, the rain falls bitingly onto her skin, but she doesn't notice, sweet Sakura is already too far gone.

When she comes to, Ino is shaking her shoulder, calling her name, and holding an umbrella all at once. Green eyes flutter gently as drops of water drop onto her and slide effortlessly on her skin before falling away. "Oh," the ninja murmurs before stepping into shelter, but she can't help but smile, just a little, that on Karin's grand, grand day, the rain falls in heavy sheets, even though the sky is still a perfect, perfect blue.

Scarlett eyes are furious as the red head stomps the ground and proceeds to get mud all over her pure white dress and the shriek that breaks out of her lips could have been heard miles and miles away. She furiously strides towards the Haruno woman, petty anger rolling off of her in waves. "You did this didn't you?!" her scream is high pitched, and kami, it's annoying. "You made it rain with that…that depressing aura of yours!"

The medic-nin only raises a pink eyebrow and shrugs, but the redhead jabs a finger at shoulder angrily. Sakura's emerald eyed gaze hardens into one that could rival the texture of a diamond. She hated petty women and the jab was the last straw. A chakra engulfed hand swats the opposing woman's arm and Ino's hoot of laughter could be heard. A still silence is heard before the spectacled woman starts to cry shrilly, pointing at the kunoichi before her, viridian eyed gaze bearing down with a menacing, furious look.

"You have Sasuke already, Karin. So please, just stop being petty over coincidences." Her voice is a quiet, cold whisper, and the hurt she's been trying so hard to ignore pours out into the one sentence that she uttered.

But really, she feels the satisfaction wash through her in waves; that Karin was ruined, even if it was just for a day.

I'm getting in my own way

Getting high on heartbreak
