Hiya. :D I've been on a writing roll lately! Yosh! I wrote a double drabble. I figured out the storyline for this story and for It's Beginning to Get to Me (well... some).

I'm hoping to get this story finished up before school starts (in thirteen days! D':)... once it does, I probably won't be able to write much. I'm going to have to take advanced classes because this new school I'm going to is college-prep, meeeeeaaaning I'll be studying harder than usual. After last years final report card... I've brought it upon myself to do better. ^^'

Anyways, 'nuff about me!

I only nothing but the plot!

Here's chapter three.

Enjoy~!

Karin was figuratively frozen; her heart raced the fastest it ever had. She felt a blush creep over her features. It was as deep a red as her crimson hair and eyes. Her knees shook together, and anticipation nipped at her skin like the cold air of the late night.

Oh, God... I was so distracted I didn't even sense him- me, a sensory ninja! She took a step back and felt her jaw drop a bit when she looked passed Suigetsu. The female's corpse was walking towards them with what appeared to be a small bag in hand.

What will he... what will he do, now that he knows?

"Karin, answer me!" He spat loudly. She jumped a bit as the corpse neared them. Suigetsu stared at it when it bumped into his arm and trudged in front him. The girl handed Karin a bag of chips, and Karin gingerly took them. She released its willpower and the carcass fell to the ground, dead. Suigetsu glared from it, up to her shocked face. Karin saw his jaws relax, meaning he had stopped clenching his teeth; he stepped toward her, saying: "Karin... just tell me." The redhead took another step back for each he took forward, and eventually she thought of what to do. Karin glared at him angrily and punched him in the jaw before turning to sprint as hard as she could back to their camp. The boy simply watched, dumbfounded.

His face- it didn't disintegrate into water this time. Karin glowered at the night sky; the clouds were streaked across the sky, staining the seemingly perfect picture. The girl was frantic. Upon every noise heard as she ran, she couldn't help but jerk her head over to investigate. She knew Suigetsu would probably be right around the side of a tree trunk, just waiting for her. She knew it was coming...

But it didn't. She reached the campsite after what felt like forever, threw her bag down and her glasses atop it, then jumped into her sleeping bag, still shaking from the encounter.

When she awoke, everything seemed normal, but... off. Sasuke had built a fire, and he and Juugo sat beside it barely speaking, and when they did, their lips appeared oddly still. She arose and put her glasses on, brushed her hair down and walked over to her comrades. The trees surrounding casted shadows; the multiple stretches of darkness ran from the light. The cowardly darkness... Karin looked up. The clouds had apparently moved out. Maybe the weather will look up for us after all.

"Good morning, Juugo-san, Sasuke-kun," she said, standing before them. The two didn't look up, and she waved her hands in front of them. They stared passed her at a , their lips moving in the same odd notion, possessively.

"They know now, Karin..." The redhead snapped her head to the right as Suigetsu stepped into the light, grinning at her cunningly. He laughed, "They know." His smile appeared demonic. It reminded her of a sinister Glasgow smile, stretching from ear to ear sickly... The Hozuki occurred physically twisted; his voice was treacherous. Karin's eyes widened in disbelief. I knew the bastard would tell them, I fucking knew it! She staggered back and slipped and fell to the ground. Suigetsu stood over her and shone his shiny, white, razor-like teeth. Juugo and Sasuke, crawled towards her; and she noticed Sasuke's eyes- his horrible eyes. His activated Sharigan spun round and round crazily... Juugo suddenly reached forward and grabbed Karin's throat, crushing her airways; Suigetsu took hold of his Decapitating Carving Blade with ease, motioning to her lean abdominal with the agonizingly sharp end and laughed once more.

"You truly are worthless, Karin," Sasuke said quietly. The redhead shook her head, screaming- pleading Suigetsu to rethink. Screaming anything and everything, to make it all stop. With a cackle, Suigetsu reared back, and in lightning speed, cut across, slicing into-

"Don't do it!" Karin yelled, quickly awaking from her slumber. The girl felt tears slide down her cheeks.

"What's up with you?" Came the voice. Karin flinched- it was Suigetsu. She lowered her head to hide her face and wipe her tears without anyone seeing. A pair of sandal-ridden feet stepped before her and she jumped.

"Look at you!" Suigetsu laughed, "You're all jumpy and shit. And when you were asleep, you were crying like a baby." Karin didn't respond. He had to have told them. That was just a dream, but it's in Suigetsu's character to tell things like that just to embarrass me. The female reached to her side and put her glasses on. She stood and walked right on passed the taunting boy. Suigetsu blinked in confusion; had she really just ignored an insult? An insult from him? Karin looked around- everything was exactly like her dream except the skies, which were a deep, depressing grey. Juugo and Sasuke sat by the fire silently, watching Karin walk toward them. She tried to greet them, but her vocal cords didn't comply, she only mouthed it. Juugo saw and nodded in response, the raven at his side stared, waiting for her to swoon over him, like usual. But to his favor, she didn't. She simply walked by he and Juugo and took seat on a branch high in the sky and sat quietly.

"Is... Sasuke, is she okay?" Juugo asked.

"Just savor the silence, Juugo, savor it..." He replied.

I can't really pick out what's been different. Since Suigetsu told Juugo and Sasuke, I figured... you know, they'd treat me differently. Karin kicked a pebble as she walked ahead of the group, a bit in front of Sasuke. The rest of the group noticed her odd behavior, especially Suigetsu. Every time he made a smart ass comment toward her, it was like it flew in one ear and out the other... that, and because the previous night... Suigetsu knew something was off, and he didn't like it. Karin was part of the Team Hebi, everyday routine, and her silence was killing him from the inside out.

"We'll stop here," Sasuke said. Karin stopped and once he was in front of her, she followed him as he lead the group through the gates of a small village to a little restaurant. Karin looked to the side, watching as people walked to and fro between shops and homes and street vendors. She wondered if the girl from last night lived here, or if she was related to any of them, but just shrugged it off. It wasn't like she cared anyways.

"Karin," Sasuke muttered, "What do you want?" The redhead shrunk under his gaze and shook her head. He sighed and cracked a small, small, almost invisible smile, and replied: "Breakfast is the most important. What do you want?" She pursed her lips, thinking the menu over, "Just steamed rice and a rolled omelet." He nodded and told the chef. Within five minutes, the party's food was presented to them on paper plates. The chef gestured them to the right, over to a cluster of empty tables and chairs. The black-haired boy thanked them and they sat down. Karin knitted her eyebrows together upon seeing what all Suigetsu had ordered. Three platters full of various foods... that weren't even breakfast foods sat before him in their imminent doom.

"What're you staring at?" Suigetsu snipped. Karin made noise of disapproval, "Uhh, right, so says the freak who's been looking at me every five seconds throughout today..." And it was true. Ever since the start of the morning, Karin had caught Suigetsu stealing second-long glances... repeatedly. She couldn't tell why, but she knew it was pretty weird.

"You know, you can be considerate of other people's wallets..." Karin mumbled, grimacing at Suigetsu. All that food must cost a damn fortune! His lip twitched, "I'm a growing boy, I need to eat. Plus, I'm surprised you didn't get this much, considering your... size." Karin glared at Suigetsu and was thankful he sat across from her as she kicked him in the shin.

"I'm far from fat, asshole." If she was fat, she wouldn't wear the apparel she did. Karin looked to Juugo, who had ordered some type of soup, and Sasuke as he looked down upon a simple bowl of rice.

That was usually all what everyone ordered; Suigetsu always got the most, and he and Karin always fought about it. It was seemingly required. Breakfast was decently quiet, minus the occasional outbreaks between the two trouble children. Karin finished and threw her plate away swiftly though. She stood at the end of the table and looked to Juugo and Sasuke and said: "I'm going for a walk." They just nodded. It wasn't odd for Karin to head off on her own. Before she walked away, she caught sight of Suigetsu as he began shoveling food into his trap faster than before. It made Karin walk away quicker than she had planned.

Karin sighed as she paced through the village gates. She simply followed the path, not knowing where it would lead her. She'd end up turning around and going back the way she came anyway. By the events that have taken place throughout today... I've concluded that Suigetsu really didn't tell anyone. Karin crossed her arms, pondering the subject. Though I'm completely... completely fine with that, it makes me wonder why. It seems he's always wanted to, well, destroy me through embarrassment, he got his chance... but he passed it up? Doesn't sound like Suigetsu to me in the least.

"Hey, slow down!" Karin stopped, and turned just as Suigetsu pranced to her side. Her eyes widened and she looked away before he caught glimpse of her worried expression.

"What's been your problem today?" He asked.

"What's been yours?" She retorts, "You've been looking at me as if I've grown a second head." Suigetsu looked at her, then to the ground. Holy shit! Is he blushing? Karin bit back a comment.

"I've just... j-just wondered what..." It grew quiet, and Karin herself felt a blush decorate her features in synchronization with the Hozuki. They both looked in opposite directions, and she heard Suigetsu sigh, then say: "I just want to know."

"Know what, Suigetsu?" She demanded a bit harshly.

"What happened last night," he replied and stopped, grabbing her wrist loosely. Karin stopped, but pulled her arm away and held it close to herself. She turned to him and stared fiercely. His gaze matched her own.

"You really wanna know, huh?" She asked.

"Well, yeah, considering the way you ran away last night. That just irks me and makes me want to know even more," he said. She shook her head in shame, "If I tell you, you can't... don't degrade me for it."

"Karin, you think I, of aaallll people, would degrade you?" He asked, smiling. It was a joke, but her expression stayed hard, and his grin shrunk beneath her glare. He chuckled, "If you're that serious... I guess I can hold my tongue."

"No, you have to be damn sure. I'm not fucking about this," she hissed angrily. His eyes widened and he nodded, "All right, all right... geez, Karin. I won't tell anyone."

"Good. Then..." Karin took a deep breath. She was about to reveal the secret she had withheld from anyone her whole life...

"I'm a Necromancer."

"You aren't shittin' around, are you?" The comment in general was rude, but his tone reflected disbelief. Of course, that wasn't something that caught Karin off guard. She simply shook her head and looked at her feet, "I'm sure you remember last night." Suigetsu nodded in response and watched her, but she avoided his gaze. I'm surprised he hasn't insulted me for it all...

"-t's kinda cool..." Suigetsu complemented in a whisper. Karin jerked her gaze up to meet his own, "W-what?" He looked at her as if he hadn't said anything and shook his head, shaking the fact she hadn't been listening to him off, too.

"So... you won't tell anyone, right?" She asked, only to reassure herself. Suigetsu smirked, "Well... there's a catch."

"S-Suigetsu!"

Damnit, I should've known I'd be digging myself into a hole after trusting him!

Yaaaay! Chapter three. XD
