Comments: Actually wrote on this today during my downtime in class. I actually like this kunoichi a helluva lot. Which is surprising really because so many people don't.

Today was by far, in Karin's opinion, the absolute worst birthday of her entire life. You didn't get many chances to turn 17 and some part of her was hoping that today would have been filled with a lot more excitement than it had been.
Suigetsu had been harping incessantly in her ear all day long about the grapefruit he wanted at a nearby market. Instead of complying to his wishes so he would just shut up, Karin chose to distance herself from him in the woods.
Juugo had seen her stomp off but he must have assumed she was angry and left her alone to cool down. She really just stormed off to see if anyone would follow. Sighing heavily to herself, she curled her legs under her and dropped her head into her hands.
It wasn't often Karin felt lonely and unloved, her daily demeanor a testimony to that as she was often arrogant and hot-tempered to a tee. But today was one day she wanted human existence to notice her own and congratulate her for reaching another year, an uncertain feat in a shinobi's life.
She must have sat there for a good hour before she finally admitted defeat and made up her mind to return to the camp. Before she could stand though, a blur dropped down from the trees beside her, gracefully sitting and tugging her sleeve so that she slumped to the ground again.
"Did you just forget to turn on your chakra radar or what?" Sasuke reprimanded, glaring over at her.
Karin immediately bristled. Yes, she may have loved the boy but he was still capable of pissing her off. "Shut up, Sasuke. I don't need your criticism right now."
"Next time, pay attention to who's coming up," he bit out, "especially when you're alone. It's not always going to be an ally."
Karin resumed her previous sitting position, moving her mouth silently to mimic him. She could tell he was getting annoyed by the brief flash of purple she read in his chakra.
"What's got you in such a shitty mood?" he questioned, his voice dropping a decibel.
"It's. My. Birth. Day," Karin ground out, feeling her eyes water with frustrated tears, screaming a mantra to herself to "man the fuck up".
"That doesn't entitle you the right to be a bitch though."
Though the words were condescending and rude in context and it did cause the pressure behind her eyes to increase, the tone was soft and almost, daresay...comforting?
"What do you care? You're a bitch to everyone around you every single damn day of your life? Who are you to judge me now?" Her voice was barely above a whisper but there was no doubt in her mind that Sasuke had heard it.
"You think you're the only one who's had it rough? If you really do, you're a fucking joke, Sasuke. You're not alone in your pain in this world, there are others out there with problems just as fucked-up as yours."
Sasuke was very quiet next to her and it unnerved her slightly. Was he going to kill her for badmouthing him? Would he really kill his own team member for being insolent? Finally, after a few agonizingly long seconds, the prodigy blew out a belabored 'hn" and Karin could feel him shift in his spot.
"I still think you're being a bitch about the whole thing but you're probably the only person I know who has enough balls to get up in my face and tell me like it is...and that's something I respect you for."
Karin swiveled around at his words, trying to keep the shock out of her expression. Very fluidly, Sasuke leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers, throwing every word Karin had in her head out the window.
"Just stop being a bitch today, it is your birthday after all," he breathed out against her lips, pulling back slightly so they could look eye-to-eye.
"After all, I'm going to need your help in a little while. We still got Suigetsu's grapefruit to sabotage."
Author's Note: I have no reason to lie, I adore this pairing if it's written well. I'm enraptured with Karin's thighs; a lot of people are aware of this. So much so, that I'm going as her for Halloween.
I guess I missed the note that I probably should have stopped trick-or-treating about three years ago, never mind the fact that I'm going to look awful silly dressed up as Naruto character, to boot.
Ah well, I don't care. : )
