Chapter 10:

Suigetsu's POV

"Say hello."

When I first met Karin, I thought of her as an angry bitch who couldn't control herself.

I was 10 back then and didn't know much, but for once, I was correct when I thought that.

"..." Karin was silent. She had a look on her face that showed that she was obviously pissed off.

"Karin." Kabuto reached for her.

"Don't touch me!" She slapped his hand.

Kabuto sighed and rubbed his hand.

"...Suigetsu, she will be with you from now on in the same team, so I leave her with you." Kabuto said before leaving.

'You've got to be kidding me.' Was my first thought.

She glared at me. I looked back at her. We were just standing there for about a minute before she ran off. I watched her leave.

'Whatever...' I thought as I scratched my head. 'But I have to deal with her from now on...' I considered this.

'Life's probably going to be harder from now on.'

"Hey Kin, you know where Karin is?" I asked Kin. She was also an angry bitch who couldn't control herself. I didn't like to talk to her, but she was the only person I could think off who might've known where Karin went.

"You mean the new kid?" Kin asked.

"Yes."

"No. Now get out of my face." Kin said and stepped on my foot. I winced for a bit, but decided against fighting since Zaku was nearby.

'How the hell does Zaku deal with Kin?' I thought as I left to find someone else to help me.

Well, it turned out that I was going to find out.

"Karin!" I shouted when I saw her standing on the edge of a really old bridge that lead out of Orochimaru's lair. She ignored me and took another step toward the edge.

"Don't come!" She shouted.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I asked remaining calm.

"That's none of your buisness!" She shouted. "Just leave me alone!"

"Let me tell you right now. If you die, I'm in trouble. So even if I would love to leave you alone, I need to keep you alive, so would you please get off the edge?" I asked.

She stared at the water. I could tell she didn't know how to swim. Since I was a pro at swimming, jumping off a bridge wouldn't be an ideal suicide choice but anyway, I had to get her off that thing.

"Why the hell would you want to die anyway?" I asked.

"My parents died alright? They loved me, but those fuckin' bastards from this place killed them so they could get me!" Karin shouted, tears appeared on the edge of her eyes. "No one here cares about me! I want to be with my parents!" Karin shouted crying.

"...Will you not jump if I promise to care for you?" I asked. I didn't really know where that came from...it just came.

"...?" She opened her eyes and just looked at me with a blank expression.

"You want someone to care for you right? Someone to look for you if you're missing. Someone who cares." I said. She continued to look at me. "So how about I'll be that person. So will you please get off the bridge?" I asked.

"..." She looked down for a while but eventually nodded. I walked toward the bridge and tried to take her hand. Too bad that the bridge was older than Orochimaru himself because it just crumbled beneath us.

"Kya!" Karin fell back. I leaned forward and grabbed her hand.

"Hold on." I whispered and pulled her closer to me. We dived into the cold water and I kicked us up to the surface. I swam to the edge of the river and let Karin out first. She was shivering. I got out after and squeezed the water out of my clothes. "You okay?" I asked.

"...Did you really mean that?" She asked.

"What?" I asked.

"You'll really care for me?" Karin asked looking a little irritated at how she had to be so straight-forward with me.

"I promised didn't I?" I said.

"Yeah...but you're a bastard and bastards don't always keep their promises, you know." Karin said.

"Well you should be happy because people don't tell bitches everyday that they'll care for them." I said.

"Are you calling me a bitch?" Karin tried to punch me and I caught her arm

"Relax, I'm a bastard and you're a bitch. It's not such a big deal." I said smiling.

Karin lowered her arms and started to walk away. She stopped after a couple of steps.

"You're not a bastard..." She paused. "You're a son of a bitch." She said.

Maybe I was expecting something nicer, but hey, what can I excpect from an angry bitch who can't control herself?

After a few months, Juugo joined us as well, and we were the same as ever. Juugo found it annoying, Karin said it was a 'Fuckin' piss off' and I thought it was fun.

(Present)

I was done with my swimming practice. I got out and something caught my eye. I couldn't help but smirk.

"J-Juugo told me that he couldn't bring your towel today." Karin said looking away.

"That's fine." I said taking the towel and putting it around my neck.

"...You looked good today." Karin finally said.

"Oh really?" I asked. She glared at me knowing that I was teasing her.

"...yes." She said and thrusted my waterbottle at me.

"Hey!" I said and caught the waterbottle before it fell. "...Why are you always so angry?" I asked.

"Why are you always so mean?" Karin asked putting her hands on her hips.

"That's a very good point." I said, smiling. "I guess I just like to see you angry." I said, taking a sip of my water." Karin didn't respond. She just stared at me. "But hey, you're cute when you're angry." I said.

"Shut up!" Karin said and stepped on my foot.

I feel your pain Zaku.

Yay for Suika! I think it's cute...

Anyway, this chapter was all about Suigetsu and Karin!

I got a new ipod nano!! I'm so happy!!

I shouldn't have to explain why Suigetsu's in the swimming team, but don't ask why Juugo usually brings Suigetsu's towel. (Seriously, don't ask.)

Sorry, there was an inconvenience or whatever but it's fixed now!
