Starting Over


"You may go." The ANBU spoke, opening the heavy brass door of the jail sell.

Karin scowled at the bear masked man's fake politeness, muttering a "Whatever." before making her way out of the dark prison and into the day light of Konohagakure.

Stretching, Karin released a long yawn. After being locked up in a cell and integrated for two weeks she was in dire need of a proper sleep.

But that could wait.

She had no idea where Suigetsu or Jugo was, and frankly didn't give a damn. The red head was only interested in finding her team leader.

That was the only reason she and the other two of team Taka had come to the leaf village. They-she most of all were loyal to Sasuke; he probably didn't even know they were here.

That would make it all the more perfect when she found him.

Soon her face matched the color of her hair, giggling uncontrollably as mental pictures of the stoic Uchiha danced in her head.

The pictures broke apart suddenly as she was knocked to the ground, falling flat on her face; Karin snarled and turned around to address the assailant that had also fallen. "Watch where the hell you're going you…"

Feeling her mouth dry up, Karin did a double take of the pink haired (badly beat up) girl, who had looked strangely familiar.

Hearing an angry groan from the girl she back away, but not without noticing the red headband tried to the back of her head. 'A leaf ninja '

"I need to watch where am going? You need to learn not to stand in the street like some idiot!" The Kunoichi spat, green eyes glaring at Karin.

Pushing her glasses higher, Karin smirked, "Nice scratches. Looks like someone beat something into you, to bad it wasn't manners."

The girl scoffed and started to dust herself off, muttering under her breath, "Stupid girl, trying to impress Sasuke….."

Sasuke. Karin's eyes narrowed, this girl knew Sasuke. How?

"You know Uchiha Sasuke?" Karin said, obviously catching the other girl's attention.

"You know Uchiha Sasuke?" The girl countered, eyes hardening.

"I asked you first"

The Kunoichi scoffed again "I am Haruno Sakura, his teammate."

Karin smirk widened. "As am I, my names Karin."

Sakura's face grew sour, "You're part of the team he made from Orochimaru's subordinates."

Flipping her red hair, she gave Haruno a smug look. "Yes. Now about this girl, the one whom I am guessing did this to you", Karin said addressing the cuts and bruises on Sakura's skin. "What does she have to do with Sasuke?"


Oh-no looks like Karin in the house.
