Karin was tired of adult Sasuke. How dare he come to the past, tell her that and expect her to act like she didn't know? He was trying to have her block out the sun with a thumb! Plus, it didn't help that adult Sasuke expected her to find his wife, and brother for him with his younger self probably ready to go on a rampage at the thought of Itachi, oh and somehow up until now he forgot to mention his wife had their daughter with her. His not even one-month old daughter. Forget about younger Sasuke going on a rampage, she was so ready to go on one. "You didn't think you should have mentioned this earlier?!"

"Hindsight is twenty twenty." His voice was calm, but his eyes were not, "I need you to focus."

"ON WHICH PART EXACTLY!?" Karin had never been so dumbfounded, so frustrated in her life, she thought discovering a time traveling Sasuke would be the pique of confusion in her life. How wrong she had been.

"On the questions I asked you, how fast does my chakra drain, and how close can I get?" When Karin still seemed unable to fully understand his question. "I understand that the situation is strange, but stranger things have yet to happen in your life."

"Really, time travel isn't the weirdest thing to happen to me?"

"Technically you didn't time travel." The glare sent in his direction had a nice sense of fuck you, written all over it.

"Well sorry for the technicality asshole!" Karin took a deep breath, looked at him, took another, and finally spoke," it drains faster the closer you get, hard to say how fast since it varies."

"You need to get to them. Find out where the crow led them."

"I can't just leave you while your chakra is so low."

"Fine leave a baby without her father."

"You cannot guilt trip me into this when this whole thing happened because of you. Besides, the little girl is safer near her uncle and mother than her father whose chakra is fluctuating more than a pregnant woman's!" She could feel his chakra go up and down, it was insane how little his body could handle being near himself. "Like I told you earlier, I am not leaving you like this," he was about to argue with her on the subject," do tell me then, how can they go back without you?" Silence was her answer, "I don't feel comfortable leaving you, we'll stay here for now, see how you recover, we need to stabilize your chakra."

They landed in a comfortable silence, both deep in thought, when suddenly Sasuke broke out into a smile, one more beautiful than the one she had fallen for. He then said, "I never thought my brother would get the chance to meet her." Karin said nothing knowing he was just voicing the awe of his situation, for Sasuke she had no doubt had two separate families, the one from his childhood and the one he was building now. She had never felt so bad for him, as she did at his realization that for now, his daughter had an uncle.

A/N: very small update but the last of chapter four, I needed to let you guys know why Sasuke and Karin had yet to show up mainly cause they are still in the same day that they ran into the older Sasuke, so this update actually takes place before the breakfast with Suigetsu... but I feel like it makes more sense here... if there is confusion I could move this when I combine the chapter... Initially Karin was going to show up and run into Suigetsu... and there was no explosion... but damn did Suigetsu have to ruin everything even for me... characters really do have a mind of their own.

Also I don't know when the next update will be, I was just in such a great mood after going to see my favorite band live (Nightwish) that I started typing away... so good moods make write :)

a million thanks to you guys your reviews always put a smile on my face
