A/N: It's late, but I wanted to get the last add out of the way. This is likely the last add of the night, but when I figure out when I'm going to bed, I might see if I can add over on Value of Silence again. That's my new Ouran fic if anyone's interested, by the way.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or make a profit from this.


I've always thought that I would forever be one of the boys, trapped by being around them so much.

Despite my hot pants and baring my bellybutton, I never managed to win Sasuke over.

Suigetsu, however, was a different story.

"Karin, are you done changing?" Suigetsu peered into my tent before I was done changing, and, of course, he got an eyeful. "Sorry!" He darted away from the tent and I could practically hear him blushing.

When I pulled my shirt on, I followed him out to the river where he had run to. "First time seeing a woman topless?" I smirked, trying to adjust my shirt so it showed less skin than usual. "I'm surprised, you seem the type to go to clubs. You scare all the strippers away with your teeth, sharky?"

"Don't insult me because I screwed up, ok?" Suigetsu turned towards me slightly and only then did I realize he was blushing. He was redder than an overripe cherry, and refused to meet my eyes.

"Aww little Suigetsu is embarrassed!" I whirled on my heel and took a step in the direction of camp. "I have to go tell the others!"

"Don't you dare." Suigetsu whirled me back towards him, restraining me in something like a bear hug. "You're not going to tell anyone."

"That you're embarrassed or that you saw me sans shirt?" I smirked at him; even I knew that up close I had the advantage. He was turning even redder by the second, and I was just smiling up at him.

Girls always have the advantage at such a close distance, guys. Remember that.

"Um..." Suigetsu blinked, and I smirked. He wouldn't remember what he had to say, not with my lips so close to his. "Karin, stop smirking."

"Fine." I pushed him back against a tree and stood on my tiptoes to kiss him, just a teasing light kiss. When his grip on me relaxed, I turned and started back towards camp.

"You two resolve your issues?" Sasuke asked, not looking up from dismantling the fire pit.

"Something like that." I smirked at Suigetsu as he turned red again.

I win every time, I'm telling you, every time.


A/N: I think I'm either going to go do a value chapter or sign off, though I really wanted to get some fiction work done as well. Anyway, I'll answer reviews first chance I get. What did you think of the story?
