Hey all! It's KRISH-un yet again! I don't have much to say today, except that all is boring (AND COLD!) where I live.
Thank you to all who reviewed, and Twilit Dawn, you made me blush again! You really gotta stop that!
Ah, read the chapter, my ramen's ready!
The two of them walked back together, greeted by wolf whistles from Suigetsu and a glare in Chikazi's direction from Karin.
Chikazi shrugged off both responses, sitting down to eat.
Karin refused to give her any. "Sorry, no food for w.h.o.r.e.s…" She whispered menacingly into Chikazi's ear.
"Karin…?" Sasuke's voice held a question, "Why doesn't Chikazi have any food?"
Karin plastered a fake smile on her face, "Oh, Sasuke-san, it's because it's a custom in the village I'm from to not give any food one night a week to shinobi in training." She turned the fake smile to Chikazi. "You wouldn't want to upset me, now would you?" A small stress mark appeared on the left side of her head.
Chikazi stared up at her apathetically, "Guess so…" She murmured, already tired of Karin's wise-a.s.s comments.
Karin smiled victoriously. She leaned down next to Chikazi, "Tonight, by the tree on the other side of the campsite from Sasuke's tent. Don't. Wake. Anybody. Got it?!"
Chikazi nodded slowly, "You're welcome."
Karin stared at her, momentarily confused. After a long pause, she figured it out. Smiling neutrally, she went back to eating.
About halfway through the meal, Chikazi's stomach rumbled. She sweat dropped, embarrassed.
Sasuke looked up and studied her thoughtfully, "I to be the one to say this, Karin," He paused, not breaking his gaze at Chikazi. "But I think Chikazi should have food tonight."
Karin pretended to act shocked, "What?! Sasuke-san, I'm surprised that you were the one to say that!"
Sasuke shook his head, still looking at Chikazi, "No, I don't mean it in a wrong way, Karin, but I still have to train her tomorrow, and I don't want her to pass out on me."
Chikazi caught his gaze, then looked right back down again, not wanting to say anything, for fear of provoking a certain Sasuke-obsessed kunoichi.
Karin started to sweat, looking very uncomfortable. "Uh…." She didn't answer him, but passed Chikazi some food, silently loathing her. If looks could kill... well, Chikazi would be buring to a firey in the deepest pit of hell, if it were up to Karin.
Chikazi took the food silently, and dug in.
Sasuke stared at her for the rest of the meal.
After the meal, Suigetsu walked over to Karin, "I think you've lost, Karin. He's smitten with her."
Karin twitched, an anger mark appearing on her forehead, "What?! I won't lose! Sasuke will love me!!" She stormed away, muttering profanities under her breath, mostly having to do with a specific pointy-toothed man.
Suigetsu shivered, "Damn… She's scary when she's mad…" He went into his tent, ready to fall asleep.
Chikazi went over to the tree that Karin had specified.
Karin came out behind her, and dragged her into the woods by the front of her shirt. Chikazi made a startled noise, but didn't struggle, making a silent plan.
Once they were about 20 feet in, Karin let go of her. Chikazi rounded on her, "What the HELL was that for?!" (( Yes, this was her plan...))
Karin smiled evilly at her, "That, little faker, was only the beginning."
Chikazi took a step away from her, "W-what do you mean?"
Karin laughed very evilly, smirking, "What I mean is, you are going to PAY for making Sasuke fall in love with you!" She walked very menacingly towards Chikazi.
Chikazi took another step away from her, ready to run, "I-I don't know what you're talking about, Karin, I really don't! I don't think he's in love with me!"
Karin just smiled ically, "I don't care what you THINK, I only care about what's true!" She suddenly jumped at Chikazi, slamming her into the tree behind her, "And…" She growled, her face right in front of Chikazi's, "For what is true… You. Will. Die.!"
Wow, I just remembered why this and Chikazi's next chapter were some of my favorite chapters to write. This is probably my favorite scene, but KArin- NOPE! NO SPOILERS! You'll just have to find out next week
See you guys on Monday! R + R, 'Kaythanks!
