A/N: I'm sorry if I seem loopy, I am super tired and out of it, but I'm doing my best to get an add on everything tonight, for all of my readers. Even though I promised myself I wouldn't do this anymore. We're doing Karin's point of view tonight because that's what I feel like I can handle in my state.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, and I make no profit from this.
"So where are you going now that it's all over?" Suigetsu and I sit at the edge of Konoha, shoulder-to-shoulder, hip to hip, for once not trying to kill each other.
"I don't know." I take a deep breath in and bite my lip. "The people here... they're nice. Sakura understands me, and Naruto's chakra is pleasant... but I don't want to be somewhere where Sasuke could end up after..." I can't say it, I just can't. "After what happened."
Suigetsu slips his arm around my shoulders and I lean on him. We're silent for several minutes, and then Suigetsu grabs me in the tightest hug I had ever received.
"Sui..." I whisper, biting back tears. I don't want to leave him alone, but at the same time I'm not sure if I can follow him to the mist village. All the same, everything hurts more now that Sasuke, the guy I thought was my true love tried to kill me.
"I can stay here while you decide." Suigetsu doesn't let go of me, instead he squeezes me tighter. "But I can't stay here forever, Kare."
After all we've been through, our little family of a group splitting up, this behavior doesn't seem strange to either of us. Despite the dirty looks, the supposed hate and the violence between Suigetsu and me, we've always been closest to each other. With Juugo and Sasuke gone, each other is all we have left. Each other are all we know.
"I don't want to be alone." I whisper, wrapping my arms around Suigetsu's neck. "Don't leave me."
"I wouldn't do that." He holds me close and rocks me back and forth, the way you do with a baby.
"Everything hurts, Suigetsu." I murmur and cuddle close to him.
"I won't ever hurt you." He whispers in my ear.
2 weeks later, we leave for the mist village, together as we always will be.
A/N: This is sad, not even a page. I still have one more thing to do before I pass out for the night, so I'll be answering reviews. Will you drop me a comment? I love hearing from my readers! Thank you for reading!
