Chapter 8 - Moonlight
(Karin's POV)
I moved as quickly and as quietly as I could through the dark house. I was breathing heavier with anxiety. My unruly red hair was sticking to my face and neck from the nights warmth. The dull throb in my chest picked up ever so slightly. I was in front of his door...sliding it open slowly as to not make a noise...I step inside and close the door behind me.
There he is...right in front of me. My mouth goes dry as I take in his beautiful, sleeping profile. The moonlight was peeking through the open window on the other side of the room, illuminating Sasuke's face and naked chest.
My feet began moving on their own towards him. I kneel down beside him and feel his cold face with the palm of my hand. My other hand unconsciously runs through his sweat soaked, raven locks. He sighs a little in his sleep. My heart catches in my throat. I can't wait any longer...
"Sasuke..." I whisper softly. His eyes move beneath his lids, his mouth opens slightly, yet he sleeps on...
"Wake Up Sasuke!!!" I whisper desperately. This time his eyes shoot open meeting my own. A single breath escapes his parched lips...
"...Karin..."
Any self-control I had was completely out the window. I throw my arms around him and shove my face into his naked chest. My shaking body collapses against him as I try to get as close to as him to possible. The rhythmic rise and fall of his chest, and the almost silent beat of his heart reassure me that he is alive. He's not just another genjutsu.
"Whats this all about...Karin?" He asks me softy. His voice is still raspy from sleep. I look up from his chest and meet him eye to eye. His eyes are not the cursed sharingan anymore...they're just the endless pools of obsidian he was born with. The eyes of the man I fell in love with...
My eyes feel wet...I know I'm beginning to cry...and I don't plan on stopping them tonight.
Sasuke began to shift a little beneath me. I nearly gasped as I felt him run his hand along my jaw and into my wild hair. His is studying me. I forget how to breathe for a moment.
This is an extremely rare moment with Sasuke.
This is the first time I realize the he inst a complete incompetent when it comes to woman.
