Disclaimers: Naruto don't belong to me.

This story is about Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Tenten, Temari, Matsuri, Karin as best friends doing the craziest of things that friends would do together.

Couples are Sasuke and Sakura, Ino and Sai, Naruto and Hinata, Tenten and Neji, Shikamaru and Temari, Gaara and Matsuri, Karin and Suigetsu.

Karin musters everything she had to say what she said next. "Get a room you two." Then she turned on her heels and walked away her world crumbling with every step she took. She didn't see when Suigetsu pulled away from Sayuri and stared at her back.

"You're such a dick." Tenten spat at him when she passed by going after Karin. Tenten would have loved to punch both Suigetsu and Sayuri in the face but Karin came first, it was more important to after the girl and comfort her. She could always pound on them later.

"Suigetsu I never thought you'd be such a low-down pig, your still a little boy, mature will ya." Hinata stared at him her features calm but her words cold, when Hinata spoke to someone like that it meant something. She rarely ever insulted someone when she's sober like she was. So for her to do it now, Suigetsu knew he was being stupid, he knew Hinata was dead serious and that she would do what she had to in order to protect her friends.

"Hinata it's not what it looks like you see I..." He was cut short when the raven hair girl was pulled away by the rest of her friends, each of them throwing insults at the purple eye boy.

Sayuri smirked and dust her hands as if there was dirt on them. She knew better than to interrupt any of the seven girls when she was alone, without her friends. But now with her job finished she smiled at Suigetsu innocently and left him standing there in the hall alone.

Jugo came up to the boy and took him by his collar and pulled him to a more secure place to beat sense into his stupid friend. Jugo notice Suigetsu was glaring at him and he had a feeling it wasn't because he was dragging him away by the collar.

When Karin was found in the cafeteria smiling and talking to some freshmen guys the girls was confuse. "I think she's cracking up." Matsuri uttered to Temari, they expected her to be crying, not that they weren't glad she wasn't.

"Hey guys come here." Karin called out to them; Hinata saw right through the red head's facade she was putting on. She saw the pain in her eyes, Karin was willing herself to keep it together, she was trying to be strong. But she was also on the verge to breaking down.

"Be easy on her, she may break down if we don't be careful with what we say." Hinata warned them as they walked over to her and the guys.

"These fellows here, is telling me about their band and invited us to come see them play this Friday night at 'the juice bar- cafe'." Karin ebulliently said, she was acting like she had just won a million dollars.

"Uh yea we'd be there." Ino encouraged, keeping Hinata's words in mind.

"Yea then you guys could stay over at mines for the night." Temari slung a hand around Karin's shoulders.

"Yea that'll be great." Sakura nod to Temari and the sandy blonde pulled Karin along with her.

"Later guys." Tenten waved the boys off and they walked up a stairs leading to the roof top of the school. They had used their team work to get Karin away from the guys.

"Wait why are we going there?" Karin asked but no one answered her. "How come you guys have keys for that door?" Temari asked when Sakura pulled out the shiny object that was hooked onto a key chain with her other keys.

"Because I'm student's president of this school, Hinata's vice president so we get access to things others would never see." Sakura confirmed a proud smile graze her face. Karin struggled under Temari's grip; she had no idea Temari was this strong, that was a lie she knew Temari was stronger than her by far.

"Why are we going there, breaks almost over?" Her voice cracked a bit, she was finally breaking down. It couldn't be held in forever, it was better it happen now than in the middle of one of her classes.

"Don't worry I'd take care of that, I'd be right back." Hinata left, she'd get passes for them from Shizune_sama, the principal's secretary. Shizune was also a friend of the girls; have helped her out on many occasions. So she's help them out on occasions like theses, it was also because the girls was well-behave and had high grades. Shizune trusted them.

When they stepped foot onto the roof and the door was shot Karin dropped to the ground on her knees. With her friends around her she felt comfort and free to let go and cry, she couldn't hold it anymore.

"Why does he have to be like this?" She began bawling her eyes out; she hadn't expected him to go to her enemy and flaunt it in her face as well. "Why does it hurt so much?"

"It'll be ok babe, if you asked me I'd say it won't be easy but with time you'd forget him and move on." Temari spoke softly and rubbed Karin's back.

"Tem's right, you'd always have us around okay and when we graduate and leave school it'll get easier to meet someone new and forget about him." Sakura took her rag out and wiped some tears away.

"Yea and if It'll make you feel better we could kick his ass anytime you call." Tenten grin making Karin laugh a little.

"Your darn hot, it's his lost trust me." Ino patted her friends red head and chuckled, Karin was feeling better and better with their every word, but the ache was there, she still felt the stab in her heart as if it was a fresh wound on her chest.

"Yea you're hot and he's stupid to let ya slip out his fingers because you're a perfect catch, I'm sure there's a line of guys that'll fall down and worship you if you let them." Matsuri add in, even though they spoke this to her and she felt better, she knew when she sees him again she'd feel like shit.

"Thanks guys you're the best." Karin wiped her tear stream face and smiled at her friends. It was fake and she knew they could see it, but she couldn't smile for real right now. The pain she felt was too real and it felt like her sunshine had been snatched away from her. She just wanted to go home and curl up in a ball on her bed with ice-cream.

...

"Guy_sense's not gonna be pleased about us skipping double gym on our first day back." Sakura paid for her lunch from in the cafeteria line and joined Tenten, who had already bought lunch.

"You're worried about that, it's my first day here and I'm skipping, what'll he think of me?" Temari picked up a bottle of ketchup and pored some on her fires.

"Guy_sense's a jolly guy he'd let you off with a 'you're a youthful student I can tell its ok just try for it not to happen again' he won't do anything but creep you out with his...youthfulness." Tenten snorted as she mimicked Guy's voice and words. Temari seemed at lost by their joke but she still smiled as they laughed.

When they took their usual seat in the cafe, Sakura's lunch was attacked by Sasuke's wondering hands. "Hey! Dude get your own." She swatted his hand away, but he just reached over once more, not giving up.

Sasuke sat next to his girlfriend and placed a kiss on her lips to distract her as he invaded her lunch. "Whatever happened to what's yours are mines and what's mines is yours?" He asked with a smirk on his lips, he took a bite of her burger before she could take it from him.

"Hey, girls all 'eight' of you!" Naruto came up behind Hinata and sat next to her, Hinata blushed deeply.

"Naruto are you calling my boyfriend a girl?" Sakura asked cracking her knuckles, Sasuke smirked at this, Naruto shock his head and hide behind the now red Hinata.

"Good." Sakura's deadly look was replaced with a small smile, she couldn't stop herself from constantly calling Sasuke her boyfriend.

"Wimp." Tenten coughed said and sipped her soda. Hinata sighted, why did they always have to pick on Naruto.

"Hey I'm no wimp! Oh yea, Ino, Sai said to meet him in the art room, and uh Matsuri Gaara wanted you to meet him in gym, he's trying out for basketball or something of the sort." When Naruto said this both girl instantly got up an excused themselves before rushing off to their boyfriends.

Shikamaru soon joined in and rest his head on Temari's shoulder. Temari giggled and placed a fries in front his face and he accepted it letting her feed him.

"Karin can I talk to you for a second?" Everyone looked up to see Neji. This was strange.

"Uh... sure." Karin got up glancing at Tenten to see if she knew anything about this but Tenten only shrugged but seemed as interested and curious as her.

000

"What's this about Neji?" Karin asked they were settled on an empty table away from their friends. No one was around them, this sort of scared Karin. She trusted Neji she was just scared of what he might have to say.

"Don't get angery or anything just listened and decide what you want I'm just dropping a message, even though I don't want too." Neji paused for a moment; this must have been the longest sentence he had ever said to her. They never really had a full out conversation, he was still her friend though.

"Um ok, just talk, but you got to tell Tenten, I don't want her to feel like we have secrets together or anything." Karin urged him, he nod and she gestured for him to continue, Neji glanced at Tenten.

She was talking to Temari but she'd glance at him every so often, he could tell she wanted to know what was going on. "Yea I'd tell her for sure, it's about...Suigetsu." He stopped and examined her face for her reaction to the name he called. Neji wasn't as smart as Shikamaru, only Sakura could compete with the genius, but like Sasuke he was considered intelligent.

So it didn't take him long to figure out Karin and Suigetsu's situation, no one had to tell him he just figured it out. "What about 'him'?" She asked, her face scrunched up in revolt, her words coming off bitter.

Once upon a time hearing his name brought butterflies to her stomach and made her smile. Now her stomach felt like it had dropped from a five story building and was run over by a monster truck.

She had just lost her appetite.

"Well he asked to give you this." Neji reached into his pocket and pulled out a neatly folded note and place in front of her on the table. "He asked if you'd be willing to meet him after school to talk at the indoor swimming pool, he also said he can explain everything." Neji ended the message waiting a little for her respond. When she said noting but stared at the note he got up with his lunch in hand.

"I'm just a massager and it's your choice, I'll just say he seemed truthful and disturbed, agitated, but do whatever you feel's right, for you not anyone else." With his wise words said Neji left the girl in her thoughts and went over to his awaiting friends and girlfriend's side.

She wasn't sure about anything, what was there to explain, he wanted to hurt her for what she did to him back in Suna and he did, to a point she didn't know if she would forgive him. But it sat there in front of her taunting her to read it, challenging her to pick it up.

Karin glared at the paper as if that'll do anything, she grabbed it of the table when it almost blew away with the wind, she opens the letter and read it over in her head.

Karin,

I'm sorry I've hurt you, it wasn't intentionally, if you'd meet with me after school I'd explain everything to you and answer all your question's. If you chose not to its ok I could understand that much as well. I can't explain this to you in letter, that's why I want to meet face to face.

Suigetsu. But know that if you decide to not meet doesn't mean I'm leaving you alone, eventually I'd get you to talk to me.

000

"What was that all about?" Tenten asked Neji softly for him alone to hear when he got back. Karin sat at her table with no sign of moving anytime soon, this made Tenten worry.

"I'd tell you later, you're coming over right?" He looked at her questioningly; Tenten had a habit of forgetting stuff like this.

"Ok yea, almost forgot, yea I'd be there, you'd give me a ride right?" Neji nod to her question, she smiled sheepishly at the fact that she had forgotten.

"I really think I should go over to her." Sakura told Sasuke, as soon as Neji had left Karin at the table she wanted to go to her friends. But Sasuke wouldn't allow her to go.

"No Sakura, if she wanted to be with us she'd have come here, leave her for now." Sasuke's husky voice tickled her ear as he spoke.

Naruto and Tenten were arguing about Vampire diaries and Temari would add a comment in-between. Shikamaru had comfortably fallen asleep on Temari's lap and Neji was listening to Tenten's bickering. Hinata eat her lunch quietly at Naruto's side admiring him and his words.

"Want to come over later and study together?" Sasuke asked Sakura in a flirtatious way, Sakura's cheek went pink when she notices Sasuke's intensions, since their hook up he had been acting thins way, more often than he had ever acted.

"We wouldn't get any studying done if I came over and you know it." She shot back avoiding eye contact with anyone. "But I'd be there." She rests her hand on his knee and massages him under the table; Sasuke went weak at her touch as her hand lingers on his upper leg.

If he had no self control he'd properly be all over her right there and then not giving a shit what their friends had to say about it. "You shouldn't tease an Uchiha like that Sakura, it only leads to things you can't handle right now." He warned but did nothing to stop her hand from travelling further up to his thigh.

"Oh yea, says who what I can and can't handle hmmm?" She smirked, but their little love session was cut short by the bell going off. Sakura frowned and moved her hand away much to Sasuke's displeasure.

Karin was the first to get up and leave, her lunch untouched and wasted left behind on the table for the cafeteria cleaners to take up. She saw Matsuri and Gaara hand in hand heading to class, they didn't even notice her when she passed them straight. Ino and Sai was also spotted but Karin ducked her head low and hide from them.

She didn't feel like going into math right now. She needed to think, the only place that she'd be able to do that right now was at the outside pool. No one went there, beside horny teens, who wanted to do it in private, sort of. If there was anyone around she'd just have to get rid of them.

They had two swimming pools because their school almost always holds the swimming completions on their sports say. Besides that one was for the swimmers to practice and one was for gym class.

When she got there, as expected no one was there, she bit her lip as tears whelmed up in her eyes. She was finally alone to think about what happed today. To make her decision on what she should do with Suigetsu. To understand his intensions and what he wanted with her.

...

"Where's Karin?" Temari asked Shikamaru, the lazy guy half asleep on his desk not paying attention to Kakashi_sensei. They were both sitting at the back of the class along with Sakura, Sasuke, Ino and Sai.

Neji, Tenten, Naruto and Hinata sat in the middle section in front of them and Matsuri and Gaara up front. "I don't know I haven't seen her since we left the cafe." He muttered, he wasn't in the mood to talk but he couldn't just ignore, or shut his girlfriend up.

That'll lead to troublesome arguments. "Where do you think she is? I'm kind of worried about her." Temari whispered not wanting Kakashi_sensei to hear her and embarrass her in front of everyone on her first day here.

She didn't know what Neji had told her, and she knew better than to ask, but she knew it wasn't good news. Judging by Karin's actions, it probably had to do with Suigetsu.

"I'm guessing she's in the outdoor pool, that's where she ends up when she wants to be alone." Shikamaru informed Temari, she knew Shika would know better, not because he's a genius but because he knew Karin before she did, he'd know the small habits of her, being her friend and all.

"Oh, I see, she should have told us at least." Temari glance at Shika then back at the board.

It was amazing how he would sleep during his classes and form what she heard, get 100% in his test.

"Hey you know, you could tutor me, since you're such a smart ass and all, I could use some help in my subjects." Temari jabbed her elbow at his side, Shika caught her elbow before she could stab him again.

"Which ones you need help in?" He asked this time looking at her, for some reason her face turned red-ish under his gaze.

"Mostly Maths, History and sex-ed." Now he knew why she was blushing like that, they didn't have a sex-ed class.

"Oh I'd help you especially in that last topic, but you know you're really good in that specific subject." Shika flirted back, now their attention completely on each other. Poor , poor Kakashi_sensei had no idea of what was happening in his class. Shikamaru for once was fully awake in maths class and it had nothing to do with him or maths.

...

Sakura kept passing notes to Sasuke during Spanish class, Karin still hadn't showed up. There Spanish teacher Kurenai_sensei wasn't boring or anything, but Sakura couldn't help herself. Sasuke was her addiction, and sitting next to him it was hard not to talk.

Well not exactly talking, they couldn't talk in Kurenai_sensei class unless you want to die. So her solution was to pass notes to her guy in hopes they don't get caught.

Sakura- Kurenai_sensei looks at least 9months pregnant, should she even be in school? I mean she was supposed to be taking care of herself and her baby.

Sasuke- She's stubborn just like you, why does this concern you now?

Sakura- I wanna be a doctor remember, its research. Besides I like her, so yea.

Sasuke- where do you wanna go after we finish school, which collage.

Sakura- IDK yet, maybe K.U or if not there I'd go where you're going.

Sasuke- really now, I may go abroad out of Konoha.

Sakura- WHAT! Why can't you stay here, I mean there are some awesome collages here in Konoha like K.U or University of Hidden Leaf!

Sasuke- We'd talk about this another time Sakura. Now's not the time ok.

Sakura- ok, maybe later if I do come over at yours later, maybe then?

Sasuke gave Sakura a nod before folding the paper into a half and sliding it into his History book. This time the two paid attention to their teacher for the reaming of the time they had for this class.

...

After school had ended everyone met up in front the school before they'd say their goodbyes. Tenten, Neji, Hinata and Naruto left together in the Huyga's car. Temari left with Shikamaru and Choji, while Matsuri left with Gaara. Ino got a ride with Sai on his motorcycle that his brother decided to give him; he had dropped it off at school for him during their lunch break.

Sakura, Sasuke and Karin were supposed to leave together but Karin had other plans. Before Neji left she gave him a nod, he understood what she meant right away.

"You love birds go on ahead I've got some stuff to take care of, I'd get a ride with Jugo." Karin told Sakura and Sasuke, Sakura gave her a worried look.

"You sure we could wait for ya you know." Sakura looked at Sasuke as if asking him if it was okay.

"Yea." Was all the dark hair guy said.

"No go on, it's something with principal Tsunade. It may take a while." She lie, Sakura nod and left with Sasuke.

...

Karin took a deep breath before opening the doors to the indoor swimming pool. Her eyes darted side to side searching for one person in particular. "You came; I thought you would not come." His voice hit her like a ton of bricks, he was still affection her and not in a good way.

There he sat behind the diving board where he was peeping out at her. "I came, so talk." She was surprise her voice came out so strong when she had to clench her teeth so she wouldn't cry.

"Huh, straight to the point, come here, take a seat." He motioned his hands for her to come closer; she hesitated a bit but gave in and went to him. She'd properly always go to him.

"I'm not here for anything stupid so just talk, your...you're lucky I'm even here to begin with." Suigetsu was surprised by her behaviour, this was the first time she ever seemed so livid at him. So pained by his actions.

"Your right, but hear me out would you..." Karin had cut him off with her harsh words. "Just get to the point Suigetsu." Karin had to be like this or she'd break down, she couldn't let herself break down in front of him after what he did to her.

...

Suigetsu went on to explain to Karin that Sayuri had lie to him and made him believe that she was going out with Jugo. He explained that he held her hand and walked of like that, because he was angry and wanted to let her think he could move on as well. He also told her that he didn't expect Sayuri to kiss him and the only reason he didn't stop was because he thought she was doing it for his sake.

He thought she was just being there for him since the girl he loved was now with his befriend. But then he found out from Jugo that noting like that ever happened. Jugo had even punched him for treating Karin like that. Jugo and Suigetsu had a little punch fight until they notice none of them did anything wrong. It was Suyuri playing her little games with them to hurt Karin; they both felt stupid for letting it work.

"So she was being a manipulative bitch all along, I see." Karin felt relief; Suigetsu wasn't a low-down dick after all, he was just a stupid guy that got manipulated.

"Yea I guess, so we good now?" He asked, a hint of hope filled his eyes as he looked into her eyes.

"No, I'm not going to let this continue, Suigetsu, tell me exactly how you feel about me, is it a friend feeling or something more, tell me now." She was pleading to him now, she needed to know where they stood, if they continued like this it was only a matter of time they fell apart, more so than they had today.

This caught Suigetsu of guard; he hadn't expected her to be so bold. Now was the time to tell her how he felt, being just friends was wearing both of them out. "Yea, I like you more than friends Karin, I have for some time now. I was just not man enough to tell you how I feel because all I seem to do is hurt you and...I thought I wasn't right for you."

"Really now, your still not man enough, you asshole who are you to say whose right for me." Karin laughed; it felt good to laugh again, for real this time. Today felt like months, she knew it would have been a long day from the start, she had just felt it in her bones.

"Say it Karin, tell me how you feel for me, I want to hear it." Karin blushed; her boldness had drained out of her to be replaced by shyness.

"I...I am." Suigetsu chucked at her mood swings, what a woman he had scored.

"Yes." He coax on.

"I l-love you, from day one I've loved you, even if I have treated you harshly at times. I love you." When she was done confessing her undying love, Suigetsu kissed her and she kissed him back. How perfect it was, being together like this.

...

The rest of the school week went along well, Suigetsu was forgiven and now he's Karin's boyfriend. Sasuke and Sakura decided they'd talk about collage after exams and results. Shiho and Sayuri kept bugging Temari and Karin, wish still annoyed everyone.

Matsuri kept staying over at Temari's house for 'study dates'. Temari would sneak out and go over to Shika's place for tutoring and 'sex-ed'.

Tenten kept staying over at Hianta's 'which wasn't anything too new'. Ino suddenly became interested in art and was taking 'lessons' form Sai, 'their art' was always the best. Which was why Ino almost always had smudged lipstick and bed hair when she came back from his place.

Hinata was happy spending time with Naruto, even though her friends kept pushing her to get with him. She was ok with just being friends, for now. That was until an unwanted visitor came along to snatch Naruto away from her. Someone she never wanted to see, someone who was just as bad as Sayuri was, maybe even worse.

That's all for today, hope you enjoyed :)
