Author Note: This is the very last thing I have to do on FF tonight and then I have go do fifty plots before 3 AM. I would very much rather gnaw off my own foot. This is Karin's point of view.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or make any profit out of this...

"Suigetsu, Karin go find some more wood for the fire." Sasuke ordered, and whenever he ordered me around the past few days, I was getting pissed off. It wasn't PMS, I was just sick of Sasuke, beyond anything I could describe with PG rated words.

Suigetsu didn't say anything; he just grabbed me and headed for the forest. When we were at a safe distance, I asked, "What if we just kept going?"

"You want to leave Sasuke? And with me?" Suigetsu raised an eyebrow. "Now what prompted this?"

"He's just pressing all my buttons lately, and I hate it. I don't want to be around him anymore." I shrugged. "And even though we fight, we've got each other's backs."

Suigetsu regarded me with a blank look that slowly turned into shock.

"Did something bite you in the ass?" I narrowed my eyes at Suigetsu. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

He took a sip from his ever-present bottle. "Nothing, Karin, nothing at all. What's in it for me if I go with you?"

"You can pick the place, wherever you want to go." I bargained, since I just wanted to get the hell away from Sasuke. "Just as long as we leave Sasuke and Juugo here and go on our own."

Suigetsu contemplated that for a minute. "And you'll stop hitting me?"

"Sure." I nodded in agreement. "I'll stop hitting you."

"Deal." Suigetsu held out his hand to me. "Shake on it?"

"Sure." I shook his hand, and we ran from the campsite and just kept running.

Nearly a month later, we were still running, but the friendship we had developed was extraordinary. We took care of each other when sick, we slept in the same tent, and we were closer than any teammates had ever been.

But I knew he didn't think of me like that. He saw me quite differently; in fact, he loved me. He had almost said it a few times even, just a slip of the tongue.

"Suigetsu?" I said finally, one night as we huddled next to our campfire.

"Yeah?" Suigetsu turned to me, all ears.

Too bad that wasn't what I wanted.

I leaned and kissed him, and when we finally separated, I whispered in his ear, "I found out."

Suigetsu's pale face turned fiery red, and he gave me a momentary, playful grin before leaning close to me and whispering back, "Yeah, but I knew about you all along."

Author Note: I didn't have much of an idea for this one, only a prompt "she found out". So it didn't turn out great. And it's short. Sorry. Drop me a comment if you like, but now I have 50 summaries to do in less than two hours.
