A/N: Forgive me Sasuke-haters, for I have sinned. The one-shot you're about to read contains SasuSaku, though it also contains Uchiha bashing. I found no better way to do this, so forgive me.

"Looks like the little Uchiha gained one gene from his father. The loser gene." Suigetsu sneered as they watched the Chuunin exams.

Sasuke held his tongue, and Sakura pretended not to hear Suigetsu. The new Uchiha family had an ongoing friend-enemy situation with the Hozuki family, and Suigetsu's competitiveness wasn't helping in this situation.

In the fighting ring were Arisa Hozuki, and Chikao Uchiha. Arisa clearly had the upper hand, and appeared to be dragging it out to get her kicks. Sasuke and Sakura weren't pleased, but Suigetsu was having a grand ol' time.

"Your son is getting beat by a girl." Suigetsu goaded Sasuke. "Take that, you egotistical ba-MMF!"

Karin had her hand on Suigetsu's mouth, being careful not to be cut by his fang. She had learned several things after being married to Suigetsu for years. One, that when he starts to tease people who can beat his ass, shut him up. Two, when it comes to his daughter, he's a bigger asshole than usual. And three, when covering his mouth, keep your hand off of his fang.

"Sui, you're either going to shut up right now, or we're going to leave and you don't get to see your daughter win." Karin threatened. "So make a choice."

Suigetsu quickly turned back to watch the fight, silently. He may have been the one with more physical power, but it was Karin calling the shots. That had become clear before she even had a ring on her finger.

"You're whipped." Sasuke muttered, and Sakura gave him a dirty look, causing Sasuke to hang his head.

"You're not any better." Suigetsu sighed, and slipped his arm around Karin's waist.

The battle dragged on for another bulky twenty minutes, and then Arisa successfully knocked Chikao out. Suigetsu grinned, scaring several small children with his teeth.

Sasuke stalked off, and Sakura didn't follow him. Instead, she moved over to Karin's other side and said, "Your daughter is awesome. Think she'd be willing to teach some of her techniques to Chikao? It would be a good plan to keep the bonds between villages strong."

Suigetsu cast a look to Karin, who just smiled. "We'll talk to her about it."

"Thanks." Sakura nodded. "I better find Sasuke before he does something stupid. See you two later." She disappeared; leaving the Hozuki's to congratulate their daughter.

Instead of going to her parents, Arisa disappeared into the teacher's lounge, muttering under her breath.

"She won and she's still pissed." Suigetsu shook his head in amazement. "She's got your moods."

"She's got your hair and eyes." Karin smirked. "And my teeth."

Suigetsu couldn't help it; he busted out laughing. Sometimes, there was nothing better than Karin cracking a subtle joke at his expense.


A/N: I don't like this one all that much, but I have to get out of here, so I'll answer reviews later. Peace out.
