Hey readers! And thanks for reading:) I would like to clear up all the confusion regarding the Crimson-Suigetsu kiss scene; IT'S NOT IN THIS CHAPTER! It was like a flash-forward into what to expect from my latter chapters. Sorry to disappoint:( On the bright side; this is a new chapter:P So enjoy it! And don't pout about the lack of kissing! I will also start releasing chapters on schedule again.

Also, "Ivory" has been released! So read it!…please:) I promise it'll be fangtastic;) I mean if you love Sasuke, who wouldn't love him with fangs and the ability to pierce your throat with style and sex appeal? Plus, there is NONE of that girly ass Twilight crap. So if your expecting a sparkly Sasuke with no murderous intent; you just better not read it and save yourself some sadness.

The song for this chapter is "Hallelujah" by Paramore

I don't own Naruto:)


Suigetsu gave me a funny look. "I've never seen someone so excited about joining a criminal society."

I looked over at him. Suddenly getting serious. "Well once you've been alone for so long, it feels nice to be apart of a bigger picture."

He smiled a little. "That seems true."

An awkward silence drifted over us in a thick, inescapable blanket.

"Well thanks for the robe" I uttered finally.

"Yeah. It's no problem" Suigetsu replied

I headed toward the door without another word. As I slid open the screen, the shark tooth ninja said quietly;

"You know you don't have to be alone, Crimson-Chan"

A tiny smile graced my face. "That seems true Suigetsu-Kun"

Later that day, we started the long journey to the Land of Lighting. We walked up a long dirt path. Large trees on either side of the large path provided some well needed shade. I wiped the beads of sweat from my forehead and glanced over at Suigetsu, who walked next to me. He sipped nonchalantly at his bottle of water.

I watched a single drop of moisture trickle down his chin, then his neck. Was it okay that I wanted to lick up that drop? Just to see how the violet eyed man would react to such advances?

Feeling my eyes on him, Suigetsu looked over at me. Forcing me to look away with a dark blush sprinkled across my cheeks.

"So Sasuke-Kun, do you want to share a motel room when we reach the next town?" Karin asked Sasuke in a breathy voice. Which was probably her attempt at sounding seductive. Might I mention she failed?

"No." Sasuke hissed sharply

"Jeez, he seems pissed today." I thought as I watched how he interacted with Karin. "Who peed in his cornflakes?"

"I think it would be a god idea to make sleeping arrangements now. Before we get to the town." Jugo stated sounding bored

"Good idea!" I exclaimed. Happy something was going to maybe dissolve the awkwardness between us.

"Anyway…." Suigetsu started giving my sudden display of happiness a quizzical look "Maybe we shou-"

"Sasuke is rooming with me!" Karin blared from a few feet in front of us.

I rolled my eyes at her. Sasuke walked in front of Karin, and didn't comment on the redhead's attempt to score a room with him.

"No" I said to Karin. "I'm sure Sasuke-Kun doesn't want to share a room with your annoying ass."

Karin turned around and started to walk toward me "And he wants to share a room with you?"

"I didn't say he wanted to room with me" I snapped up at her. "I'm just sure he doesn't want to room with you."

"Calm down you two." Jugo said calmly from behind me.

"Sasuke-Kun, tell everyone that you are rooming with me!" Karin screeched at the back of Sasuke's head.

The raven haired beauty turned around and said the sentence in his blissfully attractive monotone voice, that made my jaw hit the ground.

"I'm rooming with Crimson"

Complete silence engulfed the entire path. Even Jugo's birds stopped chirping and looked dumbfounded.

"What?" Karin asked her voice gaining pitch. She actually looked confused by the situation.

"I'm rooming with Crimson." Sasuke repeated as his eyes narrowed "Is that a problem?"

"No, Sasuke-Kun." Karin stammered quickly "I'm just wondering why.."

"It's none of your business." Sasuke said bluntly. His voice sharp as the deathly edge of a sword. "Karin I don't like you. I will never like you. The only reason your even on this team is because I have yet to find a medic-nin to take your place."

For some stupid reason; the absolutely hurt look on Karin's face made me feel bad.

"But Sasuke-Kun I -"

The Uchiha gave her a death glare that would shut anyone up. He turned and continued up the path as if he didn't just break someone's heart and stomp the pieces into the dirt. Suigetsu and Jugo headed after him. Leaving Karin and I alone.

I looked at Karin. Who stayed frozen in place. She watched Sasuke walk up the path. Tears formed in her eyes, her fists clenched tightly.

"Hey, Karin-Chan calm down." I muttered half heartily. Not even Karin deserved to be shot down so harshly

"Shut the hell up!" Karin snapped as he turned toward me. "Everything was perfect before you came along!"

"Well excuse me for following my heart!" I screamed back at her

Karin's face turned as red as her hair. "Are you saying you love my Sasuke-Kun!"

"I guess I am." I replied looking up at her.

I didn't have time to brace myself for the punch that rocketed into my jaw.


Karin starts a fight with Crimson! Will our little loner have what it takes to keep up with the redhead fangirl?

Sasuke wants to share a room with Crimson, For reasons unknown. Will Crimson be in for the night of her life? or will she crash and burn?

Sparks seem to be flying between Suigetsu and Crimson! But when Crimson takes on Karin; will Suigetsu find out who really has Crimson's heart?
