The next morning they woke up and… nothing has changed. They still hated each other. At least they thought so.
As their legal day off was over, they were given several missions of the medium rank. Mostly they were connected with shadowing and capturing of wanted people. During the mission Karin as usual tried to stay with Sasuke alone, but without Jugo it was problematic, because Suigetsu was always by their side and there was nobody to divert him. Everytime she wanted to talk to a leader on their "intimate" theme, her teammate appeared as a ghost and disturbed them. She has already tried to kiss Uchiha several times, but everytime sword boy appeared all of a sudden with the words:
You owe me Sasuke. I've saved you again. Karin as usual tried to seduce you, didn't she?
Shut up, freak! It wasn't anything like that!
Oh come on! If I hadn't come on time you would have already jumped on him!
Not a bit! – blushed Karin.
Karin, I can't believe that you can blush! – said the sword boy still smirking impudently.
Shut your mouth, moron! – cried red-haired violently.
You two, shut up! – said Sasuke.
They were silenced looking at each other with a furious glance. "Damnthisfish! Alwaysmeddling. We are on the mission already two days, but I still can't make my plan true. Such a good luck doesn't come easily, so I can't lose my chance. Kso, what should I do?" – thought Karin. Thinking about this she didn't even realize that Sasuke won't let her seduce him, she blamed Suigetsu for everything. "This time I should send him somewhere far away!" – thought the girl and smiled to herself. As it rained earlier, it was the right time for her plan. She came to the sword boy and began to speak very sweetly:
Suigetsu, could you please bring some brushwood till the dinner?
I brought some in the morning, - he answered looking at her suspiciously.
Yes, but everything got wet because of the rain. You see, I forgot to place it into a tent. I
don't want to irritate Sasuke, he was mad at us in the morning, - said Karin with a regret on her face. – I will prepare a good dinner for that, - she smiled. The boy was surprised. All this was strange. She never spoke to him like that before. However, that could be true, considering that dark-haired leader's mood was at stake, because that was more important than everything else for her. And he reluctantly agreed, not knowing the real reason of it.
Ok, why not to do it for the dinner.
Thank you! – answered the girl. Sword boy's eyes became twice bigger than their usual
size, and he couldn't say at least a word.
He turned away and went for brushwood. "Did she thank me? Itcan'tbe. Doessheknowsuchwords? No, something's wrong here!" – he thought on his way. The boy was on his way already 10 minutes and one brilliant thought flashed in his mind: "Damned wretch! You did it on purpose! Wait, I'll destroy your plans!" Thinking this he went back to the camp. The thing he hated most, when somebody made him fool. Only she has done that. He wanted to see Karin's face when he will disturb her again. He smirked wildly imagining this scene.
Meanwhile, Karin started her plan. She wanted to fall in order Sasuke believed that she hurt her ankle, but she really hurt it while falling. At the moment it was just right for her.
Ouch! – shouted the girl. – Sasuke, it seems to me that I sprained my ankle. Could you
please help me? – she asked in a plaintive voice.
Younger Uchiha was a gentleman somewhere deep inside, so he came up to her and helped to stand up. He had to put his arms round her waist not to let her fall. Finally she was near to the concluding part of her plan. She put her right arm round the boy's neck and turned her head to Sasuke.
Karin, what are you doing? – his face looked tired.
Sasuke-kun…I… - she stopped and slowly closed her eyes.
You nearly did it, witch! – she heard a familiar male voice behind. "Kso! He ought to
come at least after half an hour!" – thought the girl. Sasuke looked at his teammate with an relief thanking him in his mind.
Did you think you could fool me, idiot? And injured ankle is a part of performance, I
guess. Sasuke, you can let her off, I'm sure she can stand by herself, - he wickedly grinned at her.
Shut up you, the only failed creature of God! – she choke with anger. Sasuke let her off
carefully and went to his tent. He paid no attention to his teammates' shoutings. How was he sick and tired of this! No, today, he will say and do nothing, even if they kill each other.
Meanwhile, Karin fell quietly at the ground. The foot, which she hurt while trying to imitate the accident, was in pain.
Stop pretending! There is no Sasuke here anymore! – continued the sword boy, he was
mad that she fooled him like that.
Leave me alone! You ruined everything, jerk! – she answered still sitting on the ground.
Always ready to fail you, bitch! – answered Suigetsu. With these words he came up to
her and started to force her to stand up on her own. – Stop pretending and stand up! – he shouted. But when he let her off she fell down.
Get lost! – she said angrily and rubbed the hurt ankle. He was looking at her silently for
some seconds. Then sat next to her and started to examine her ankle.
Did you really hurt yourself? – asked he as coldly as it possible.
So what? If not you, Sasuke-kun would have taken care of me! – answered the girl.
Did you really hurt yourself for that? You're really stupid!
Shut up! Why do you always meddle?! Why do you always appear when I'm close to
kiss him?! – her eyes were filled with anger, resentment and disappointment. She looked at him demanding the answer. Suigetsu leaned so close to her ear that it seemed that he would touch it.
Because, only I have a right for this too… - he whispered. She shivered, not knowing
from what: from fear or from his hot breath. She lifted up her eyes ready to meet his usual mocking smile. But it wasn't there. His face was totally different, it reflected nothing. Her heart began racing. Karin waited for the continuation, but the guy was silent.
For what? – she asked after several moments of silence. Next second he already was
kissing the red-haired girl. Karin didn't expect such a tenderness of this rude, impudent and mocking sword killer. She didn't even try to push him away. "Some more seconds and I will push him away…" - the girl thought. "I should stop! Or she will say that I forced her. Some more seconds…" – thought Suigetsu. Nevertheless, the sword boy was the first who stopped the kiss and said:
For your kiss, - and looked into her eyes trying to understand what will her next step be:
pushes away, insults and tries to beat as usual, or not.
Very strange confession, - she said and smiled cunningly. There was no need of
anything else. He kissed her again, and when he finally could tear himself from desired lips, he looked at her ankle.
Let me look, - he examined her wound and when he was sure that nothing serious
happened, started to laugh.
What's so funny? – asked Karin with an angry glance.
It's just, only you could get hurt so stupidly, - he answered mockingly and started to
treat the wound.
You're fool… - the girl murmured offensively. He smiled and kissed her to a forehead
and sharply pushed away, fearing his sweet behavior. Karin got his feelings and smirked, but didn't stop to gibe at him.
Sasuke was watching all this and thought "It took you too long. It seems to me that we won't have dinner today"
