Chapter 7 – Jealousy

The next morning was rather awkward for a certain Uchiha and half-breed. The air of the night before still hung high over their heads as they both ate in silence. The happy couple were still sound asleep in the other room and had left Sasuke and Sakura to their own devices.

As Sakura munched on a bowl of special K she couldn't help but stare at it like she would be shot if she didn't. Sasuke sat across from her in more or less the same mood, except he wasn't staring at his coffee like his life depended on it. Instead he carefully studied the girl in front of him, to say she looked tense was an understatement, her shoulders were hunched and her face showed worry lines. The thought amused him that something like a vampire of all things could feel tense because of one human staring them out. Then again Sakura Haruno had always been a mystery to him, even now. She was the only person in the world that he couldn't read.

Sakura on the other hand wasn't feeling any form of amusement. All she felt was awkwardness. It was oozing off of her body in waves, and she knew Sasuke could feel it. As she scooped the last of the cereal into her mouth she still refused to look up and meet his eyes, if she could she would have turned around and cooked herself some amazing bacon, but unfortunately she was a horrible cook and would most likely give herself food poisoning, the thought depressed her a little. Standing up she took her bowl over to the sink and dumped it in, rinsing it through and leaving it in there. As she turned she was shocked to find Sasuke behind her. And behind her as in like six inches… a whole fecking six inches!

Sakura let out a small squeak that turned her face a colour that outmatched her hair. She was forced to look up and meet Sasuke's eyes, those cool coal orbs stared down at her with an arched brow, wondering what she was squeaking about. Sakura couldn't turn her gaze away from his eyes, the intensity that never seemed to leave them keeping her in place, frozen on the spot.

Sasuke looked down at her with surprise, he'd never had this sort of reaction from her. She usually would have puffed out her chest by now and gone on defence. He gathered that she was still acting up from the night before. The thought of the night before made him shudder, he'd rather not remember that any time soon. His attention was brought back to Sakura however when she began to finally react in her normal manner. Her eyes narrowed into a small glare and she puffed her chest out in defence, covering up her little relapse.

"Move Uchiha." She said in a low guarded voice. Sasuke merely let out a single chuckle and stared her down, nobody ordered him around.

"And why don't you just turn into a bat and fly away?" He joked without humour. Sakura's jaw clenched and Sasuke could hear her grinding her teeth.

Sakura saw red, nobody made fun of her like that! She should have him snivelling in his boots! Not telling her to turn into a bloody bat of all things! Sakura intensified her glare and the man in front of her just smirked, Sakura felt the need to rip his throat out but kept that little detail to herself. It would only result in her having to clean up the mess, and have a big wound to heal up as well.

"Shut up Uchiha and let me past." She sneered through clenched teeth. Sasuke only moved closer, completely invading her personal bubble. Sasuke didn't know why he felt the need to annoy her, but guessed it was maybe pay back for the night before. And for stealing the tomato soup the cook made for him the other day…

Sakura grinded her teeth together, trying her best to cool her temper down, it wasn't working. All she did was fuel it, making it bigger and stronger. The fact that Sasuke was so close and doing it deliberately to piss her off didn't help either. She hated him, she really did, it was just more obvious when they argued.

"Who say's you can order me around Haruno. I'm your boss after all." He retorted, pissing Sakura off even more. He could actually see her clenched fists shaking, and he could also hear the odd growling sound coming up and out of her throat that didn't sound at all human. He once again raised an eyebrow at her, waiting for her reply. He wasn't going to give in so easily, but neither was Sakura, they were both too stubborn to give in. But it wasn't like Sakura could just turn into a bat and fly away…

"Uchiha… why do you persist in annoying me to no ends?" Sakura asked slowly with plenty of acid running through it. Sasuke's smirk only deepened, knowing he was getting under her skin. Sakura raised and irritated eyebrow and awaited his answer. Sasuke stared down into her eyes, coal clashing with emerald, neither breaking the staring match that had unofficially begun.

"I don't know what you could possibly mean Haruno, it's you who's doing the annoying." Sasuke stated calmly in that cool tone that made Sakura want to claw her own hair out. He had no idea what he made her feel, and it wasn't pleasant either, she knew that she had a bad temper, but she'd never lost it so much in one month than she had ever in her entire life. Sasuke wasn't good for her, and she knew it was only a matter of time before she did something she knew she'd regret. Sakura needed to get away from him, she hated the way he made her feel, the way she reacted when in his presents and she hated him for it.

Sasuke noted how she grew quiet but kept on meeting her glare with one of his own, he wasn't going to loose again, he simply wouldn't allow it. He stared into her emerald coloured eyes and saw the annoyance encircling her pretty irises and surrounding her dark pupils. He let out an irritated huff at how he'd been staring into her eyes and not just glaring at them like he intended.

Sakura blinked, breaking the silent staring match and turned her head away like a tempered child, she folded her arms and avoided eye contact. All she wanted was to get away yet she couldn't, Sasuke had successfully blocked her into a corner. Sakura caught sight of the digital clock on the cooker and noticed how long they'd actually been in the kitchen, Sakura huffed in irritation and turned back to Sasuke, intent on simply pushing him out of the way.

When Sakura turned back around, Sasuke was prepared to hear another round of angered comments but instead was met with a firm hand pushing against his chest. Sasuke went flying, surprised that she could even make him move, he was no weakling, and could certainly hold his own and wasn't caught off guard often. Sasuke tripped backwards and rammed into the kitchen table, saving him from falling on his ass. He turned around to see what the hell Sakura was thinking when he noticed that she was gone. He snapped his head around to the door and just caught sight of pink leaving the room at great speed. With a sigh he slumped down into a chair and rested his chin on an open palm.

He seriously didn't understand that woman, he could never guess what she was thinking, which is probably why he never got along with her. Sasuke was surprised to find that despite the previous night he didn't feel any different towards Sakura, maybe even a little more attached, seeing as he knew some great secret of hers. The thought scared him a little, he didn't complicate himself with women, even Karin, his own fiancé. He found himself wanting to keep the secret, not wanting anyone to take her away, and not just because they had a contract.

Sasuke snapped out of his thoughts with a start, he was not going to even go there. She was only around to make some money for the company and bring it back from its downfall. At least that's what he told himself as he heard the front door open and close to what he could only guess was Sakura's escape.

…!...

The morning had gone by pretty quickly in Sakura's opinion, when she finally got back to the Mansion she was surprised to see that Mikoto had been worried sick as to where Sakura had been. So after she had practically the life squeezed out of her they'd spent the rest of the morning talking. Something that she'd actually enjoyed very much, it wasn't often that Sakura got to just sit and talk to someone. With Ino they were usually arguing, with Tenten and the band they had work to do and with Taya she had to be careful not over excite the woman. So it was nice to not have to worry about anything.

Sakura had just finished her cup of tea that one of the maids had given her; she noted how Mikoto had been looking over her. She felt caught on the spot, she wondered if maybe there was something on her face, maybe some blood that she'd missed yesterday. Sakura shuddered at the very thought, that was the last thing she needed right now.

"I think your hairs long enough now to be cut now. Do you want me to get one of the stylist's over that work for the company?" Mokoto said while sipping on her teacup. Sakura brought her hand to her hair and felt the ends, remembering Taya saying something similar last night. Sakura felt the uneven strands, feeling out the length of them and indeed she was right, the shortest strands were maybe two inches below her chin now and were long enough to get a proper cut.

"Taya said the same thing last night. And that would be nice, it might be cheaper…" Sakura trailed off, thinking of the possible prices that haircuts cost these days. Mikoto chuckled in that light giggly voice of hers and shook her head at the thought, amusement clearly stretched over her delicate features.

"Don't worry about the price Sakura, I'd be more than happy to pay for it, I think of you as a daughter anyway so it would be no problem." She said enthusiastically. Sakura couldn't help but let her cheeks bleed red at the comment. She liked the thought of being someone's daughter again; it had been so long since she had someone think so, not since her actual mother died all those years ago.

"And since Taya already noticed we should probably ask her to come along other wise she might feel hurt." Mikoto added, a small soft smile never leaving those pink lips of hers. Sakura couldn't help but grinning back and nodding in agreement. The next thing Sakura knew Mikoto was on her feet and at the phone in the corner in less than three seconds flat. Sometimes Sakura wondered if that woman was even human never mind herself. Mikoto was gushing away on the phone to who Sakura could only guess was Taya and then later on Fugaku.

Time after that just seemed to go by like a speeding bullet until Taya arrived. She of course was spurting lodes of ideas on hair styles that Sakura wasn't even sure were possible. Mikoto and Taya seemed to be very excited however so she just let them, but if they intended to actually cut her hair in one of those styles then they had another thing coming.

"OH! Sakura, we should do it in messy layers, and a side fringe! It would be great!" Taya said excitedly, her Italian accent curving through her words and making them sound even more rushed and excitable. Sakura felt the urge to go hide when she began to play with the strands of her uneven hair.

"If you think I'm getting a side fringe then keep dreaming." Sakura deadpanned. Taya just shook her head in disappointment and continued to gush, leaving her thick side bangs for the moment.

"Sakura, how did your hair get in this State anyway?" Mikoto asked while she threaded her fingers through the candy coloured strands. Sakura let out a huff, but answered anyway.

"My hair used to go down to my waist but it got too annoying so I borrowed someone's pen knife and cut it off." Sakura answered. The other reason was because it was too annoying to clean the blood off afterwards but it wouldn't exactly be a good idea to share that little detail. Mikoto huffed and sat down on the sofa next to Sakura when one of the butlers came in, followed by a happy looking woman.

"Madam, Miss Senju is here to see you." He stated simply before bowing and turning away, leaving the woman behind. She was rather small, and looked to be in her late thirties, but her chestnut coloured hair was expertly placed on top of her head. Her make up was light but very skilled, showing off all her best features and her clothes were the exact same.

"Ah, hello. It's nice to see you again Midory! Please help Sakura for me, she's being rather stubborn." Mikoto chuckled as she got up to meet the woman at the door. She looked over at Sakura and her eyebrows raised at the sight of her uneven self-cut hair.

"I'll see what I can do Mrs. Uchiha." She stated simply before setting down her case and pulling a chair over from the corner. She motioned for Sakura to come over and she pulled out a pair of scissors.

"I can probably only manage to straighten out the bottom and add a few layers. It's very messy, what on earth did you do to it?" She asked. Sakura glared at the wall, choosing not to answer in case she growled.

"She cut it with a pen knife." Taya stated, her accented voice showing her sarcasm. The small woman raised an eyebrow and began to thread her fingers through the strands. Sakura simply huffed and folded her arms, she may have looked like a small child but she didn't care. Mikoto let out a small peel of light laughter at Sakura's tantrum; she couldn't help but remember how her boys used to do that when they were still young.

The woman began to brush out the knots in Sakura's hair gently, making sure not to tug at her head. The slow motion put Sakura's mind at ease, allowing the woman to rhythmically comb her hair, it was rather relaxing, the last time someone brushed her hair had been her mother when she was five. The glare that was placed over her face melted away and her folded arms dropped into her lap, showing her relaxation.

The woman brought out her scissors and began to chop away at the strands, taking her relaxed state as a go ahead to start chopping away. The pink hair fell to the floor in clumps, Sakura felt a bit anxious at first, seeing as it had been years since the last time someone besides herself had cut it and she couldn't help but worry that she might chop off something that wasn't meant to be cut. Sakura decided to keep her mouth shut however, not wanting to let anyone know that she was worried about her hair of all things, she wasn't like that pig Ino!

She ended up cutting about an inch under her chin because of all the split ends Sakura had. She then began chopping a few layers and messed them up with some weird wax stuff that Sakura couldn't pronounce before moving onto her uncut bangs that hung limply by her face. She left them where they were (thankfully) much to Taya's disbelief and instead just evened them out before shaping them to frame her face.

When Sakura finally got to see the finished result she had to admit that it wasn't bad, in fact it actually made her look older, more mature, something Sakura was very happy about. Her hair no longer just hung there with no shape but instead framed her face and the newly cut layers added an extra bounce that was desperately needed. Her hair was only about an inch under her chin now but she didn't mind, Sakura preferred short hair anyways, it was easier to clean and hide after meals.

Sakura looked over at the three women in the room and smiled, showing that she was happy with the result. Mikoto smiled and placed her hands together in front of her face like she was praying before she slanted them to the side, showing her kind expression. Taya just grinned like she was in one of her excitable moods and Midory, the stylist, just looked proud of her work.

Sakura felt different now, and not just because of her obvious appearance, she felt like she looked more normal now, more human, and it made her feel like she was maybe more excepted into society now that she looked less like something the cat dragged in. Sakura placed her hands firmly on her hips before giving the people in the room a blinding smile.

"I like it."

…!...

Karin paced the huge condo at high speed as she brooded. Sasuke hadn't come home yet and it was now about twelve, on a Sunday no less. She'd gotten a call late last night saying he wouldn't be home but she'd gathered he'd be back early in the morning. It was a Sunday for god sake! It was bad enough that he worked on Saturday's but the least he could do was be home for her on his one day off! Karin liked his attention, she would have all of it, every single moment of it if she could help it, but that damn pink rodent was stealing it all.

Yes, Karin was very aware of how close that rat was getting to her Sasuke, it seemed that he was spending more time with her than Karin, and the thought made her want to spit. Karin hated that unwanted waste of space, if only she could go back to were she came from, that would fix everything. Of course that wouldn't happen because of that damn contract they had made, Karin wanted to rip it up into a million and one pieces right in that pink bitches face, then she'd rip her into a million and one pieces. Karin knew it wasn't very grown up, but hey, this was Sasuke here, every woman wanted him and it took so long for her to get to were she was now that there was no way in hell she was giving him up.

She turned sharply again and made another round of the open plan condo, her venomous anger only growing for the pink haired rodent. Karin couldn't help but seethe at the thought that the pink maggot might be with her Sasuke right now, giggling and flirting like some dumb whore. The mere thought had her seeing red, Sasuke was hers, not anyone else's. She had the ring to prove it.

Sasuke may have told her that they both hated each other but she had her doubts, they spend way too much time together, time that should be spent with her! Karin didn't care if it was work related or if it was mostly spent arguing, that rat didn't even deserve to be here, her music wasn't even that good! Guitars and drums were so over rated and to be honest didn't even sound that good, plus she had a weird voice, it sounded all low and shit, could that even be considered female? That rat annoyed her so much! Sometimes she wished she could just smash that freaks head into a wall.

Karin walked up to the huge window at the other end of the condo and peered out, she could see the scowl in her reflection that had fixed itself into her wild red eyes. Karin looked over herself, from her bright red fiery hair all the way down her well-shaped body and showy clothes. She was so much better than that curvless runt. That woman still had the body of a girl! Compared to herself she looked pathetic, Karin had curves in all the right places and was very proud of that fact, when the rat had nothing. The thought cheered her up a little.

The sound of the lift door opening caused the scowl to lift slightly from Karin's face as Sasuke walked forward from the other end of the huge condo in what appeared to be Itachi's clothes. Karin's scowl turned into a confused frown as the thought of the rat left her head for the moment.

"Where have you been?" She asked, folding her arms in front of her chest, and being sure to push up her chest, making it appear bigger, once again reassuring her position as his fiancé in the only way she knew would work with the man. Sasuke spared her a glance before his eyes trailed down to her chest, causing Karin to smirk. He knew he was hers…

"I got caught in the rain last night when Walking home with Itachi so he let me stay over." He explained, not letting on that Sakura was in the picture at all. He couldn't be bothered with making up more excuses.

Karin lifted a perfectly shaped brow but believing it, she did see the rain last night and agreed that it was pretty heavy. She unfolded her arms and walked towards Sasuke, adding a little sway to her hips as she did so. She walked right up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist, pressing her hips against his as she lent back to speak to him.

"You kept me waiting you know. I can't stay home all day without company, I need some attention." Sasuke simply gave her the tiniest of smirks before kissing her full on. It was mostly to get her to shut up and to stop complaining, he hated it when she got in one of these moods. It wasn't like he could give her every minute of every day just being with her, he had a life too, and one that involved him going to work. Although admittedly he wasn't at work today, instead he'd just crashed at Itachi's, his brother didn't seem to mind and he wasn't in the mood to go home, mostly because he knew he'd have to put up with this.

Sasuke ended the kiss once he felt he'd done enough convincing and watched as Karin swooned in the aftermath. Her designer glasses slipping down her nose ever so slightly.

Karin regained herself rather quickly, being used to Sasuke's amazing kisses. She looked down his chest, hoping to get a little more than a kiss when something caught her eye. There, on the black T-shirt he wore was a single pink thread, or more specifically, a hair, or more to the point, the rats hair. Karin stared for a moment, not quite believing what she saw. Sasuke had lied to her, he hadn't been at Itachi's last night, he'd been with the rat, doing god knows what, possibly getting funky when she was sitting at home bored out of her mind! He lied to her!

Karin refrained from reacting however; she just acted like she never saw it. Karin pulled away and headed to the kitchen, a small smirk never leaving her painted lips. Karin was going to kill that rat! She wouldn't tell Sasuke, she'd just get revenge in her own way, that little rodent was going to wish that she was never born, and Karin was going to make sure of that. Her Sasuke was never going to be spoiled by that unworthy freak ever again.

Sasuke watched in confusion, she was just looking at him with one of those 'I want you now' looks and then suddenly turned and stalked off. Was she feeling okay? Sasuke wasn't sure, though it wasn't like he was complaining; he wasn't exactly in the mood for her 'games' today.

"Karin. We've been invited to my parents house for dinner at seven." He stated as he entered the kitchen, finding her digging through the fridge for some of that weird food she loves so much. Karin turned around with a sly look on her face; Sasuke merely raised an eyebrow at her, wondering what was going through that mind of hers.

"Oh, that would be great." Karin answered, a sly grin stretching over her painted lips.

…!...

Dinner was something Sakura wasn't looking forward to, sure, she had it every night with Fugaku and Mikoto, but tonight was different. Tonight Itachi and Taya were there; that she didn't exactly mind too much, it was the second couple she minded and that couple consisted of Sasuke Uchiha and Karin.

Sakura slumped in her chair as they waited for their dinner, Karin had not taken that scary stare off her since they'd sat down. Sakura had no idea what she'd done but that look promised pain and possible death. It was stupid really, Sakura knew for a fact that she didn't like her very much and she just couldn't figure out why. She'd never done anything to annoy or harm the other woman to receive this treatment, the only thing she could think of was maybe because she talked a lot with Sasuke, but that was more arguing than anything else. Sakura seriously doubted that Karin was that shallow, or jealous for that matter.

Sakura looked up when the food was brought through and she thanked the butler that handed her the dish. She looked down at the dish and all but swooned, it was duck, one of her favourites. Sakura took her cutlery and began to eat with a newly lit passion.

After her first day at the Uchiha mansion Ino had all but drilled table manners into her head, she said something along the lines of not wanting a friend that ate like a starving dog. The comment made her frown but accepted the lessons anyhow.

Sakura looked around the table and noticed that everyone was now eating happily, except a certain red head that was still giving her evil looks around bites of food. Sakura let out a sigh, deciding to just ignore her. She really couldn't be bothered with someone who hated without reason.

Karin couldn't believe it! That rat had the cheek to ignore her! A rat with no background, no money, not even a home or parents for that matter was ignoring her, ignoring someone who had all of the above! She clearly didn't know her place. And she turned up with a new hair cut, what was up with that? Was she trying to look older or something? Trying to make herself fit in? Cause there was no way Karin was going to let that happen.

"So, Sakura, how are you finding it here? Comfortable? I bet it's much better from the dirty street corners you're used to." Karin asked. She looked over at Sakura with an innocent expression and watched as that weird pink brows of hers turned into a frown.

"It's fine thanks. And yeah, I guess it is different." Sakura slowly said in a confused voice, wondering where she was going. Everyone else also turned their attention to Karin and Sakura, being the only conversation going on in the room.

"Yeah, I bet. Of course it must be very troubling for you, not being raised properly and every thing must make even the simple task of eating a challenge." Karin said, a smug smirk making its way onto her lips. Sakura glared, she was not taking this, there was nothing wrong with the way she was brought up.

"Not really, you see, my parents taught me how to behave in company instead of spiting insults over the table at someone like an unhappy child." Sakura shot back. Karin growled low in her throat, that girl had no right! How dare she call her an 'unhappy child'. Karin gritted her teeth and watched as Sakura's glare disappeared as quickly as it came and continued eating.

Sasuke watched the small spat with a raised brow, Karin isn't usually this bitchy when she was in front of his parents, it was very odd. Sakura had obviously done something upset her but the two hardly even saw each other. It was definitely very odd.

Sakura, deciding to be the bigger man in the situation ignored Karin completely, again. The woman reminded her of those blond girl's who go to high school chewing bubble gum and wearing short skirts while making the 'lower girls' feel bad about themselves. Sakura chewed on her food and began to make idle conversation with Taya who was sitting opposite her.

Karin glared at Sakura, she hated that girl, even more than Sasuke claimed to hate her. Karin watched as she idly talked to Taya across the table through slit eyes, the table seemed to have forgotten about her very existence! That won't do, She wanted the rat to know who was better, and that was Karin.

"Sakura, I'm curious, how long were you homeless for, did you even finish school? That would be so shameful if you didn't!" She giggled, drawing Sakura's attention.

Sakura's brow twitched at that comment, she was seriously wondering if anyone would object to her biting the red heads throat out. Sakura turned away from Taya to give the red head a death glare that would make an Uchiha proud.

"Where are you going with this?" She asked through clenched teeth. She'd always been hot headed, so it didn't take a lot to anger her. Karin however was pulling all the right buttons to release her anger, she could feel it bubbling to the top.

"Oh no where special, just wondering." Karin gave an innocent enough smile, but Sakura could see the intent in her eyes. Was she trying to insult her or something? It sure looked like it, she was deliberately asking her questions that made her appear like some lowlife.

"No, I never finished school, I left when I was twelve." She answered. Karin giggled and looked straight into Sakura's eyes.

"Well now, that sure is embarrassing! Everyone here went to the top University's in the country! You must feel so left out and stupid." She stated in an unsympathetic voice, her eyes gleaming.

Something inside Sakura snapped, she was by no means dumb! It wasn't even her fault that she had to leave school. Her family was forced to move because they had been found out! It was too dangerous to go to school! Sakura stood from her seat, letting every ounce of acid fill her eyes and voice as she glared at Karin.

"Excuse me, Mr. Uchiha. I'll be leaving now, I refuse to put up with this." She growled. Sakura grabbed her plate, not wanting to waste good food and marched out of the room, slamming the door as she went. Mikoto got up to follow her but was stopped by Fugaku.

"Let her be Mikoto. I'm sure she's not in the mood for comfort." Fugaku stated simply. He didn't really mind having the pink haired girl around anymore. She caused little if no trouble and was surprisingly polite when given the chance, despite her background.

He glanced over at Karin and saw her innocent expression, she was up to something, he could tell. He watched silently as she glanced over at the table in mild confusion.

"Was it something I said?"

…!...

Sakura threw her pencil over to the other end of the room and watched it crash against the cream walls. She was fuming! Sakura stood next to her desk where she'd been trying to write lyric's and seethed. Her empty plate sat by her bed and she couldn't help but wonder if a certain red head had left yet. The mere thought of seeing her again anytime soon made her blood boil.

Sakura sat back down and growled deep in her chest, the feeling of her fangs hitting the bottom of her lip only making matters worse. It had been awhile since she'd been this mad. With the Uchiha it wasn't like this, then again he never insulted her family or upbringing. Their arguments were always petty and had turned into an everyday occurrence. But Karin had hit a sensitive spot.

She once again looked down at her lyrics and frowned. She wasn't in the mood for normal stuff. She wanted lyrics that could let her anger out, let her fume and rant without anyone realizing. So that is what she did, given that the lyrics were slightly different from the situation tonight but she didn't want Sasuke questioning her later. She was almost done however when a rather firm knock at the door was heard. Sakura shouted a loud 'come in' and turned to see who had entered, wondering if it was Ino, even though it was her day off.

"What are you doing here?" Sakura asked when she caught sight of bright red. Karin stood at the doorway with her hip stuck out and her hand placed firmly on it, looking every bit like a model. Sakura's anger returned in a snap and she had to push her tongue against her canines to stop her fangs from appearing.

Karin smirked at Sakura's obvious discomfort, she almost laughed in fact.

"I came here because I wanted to talk with you. Is that not aloud." She asked in an innocent voice, it was lost however since her face was anything but innocent. Sakura glared and gritted her teeth.

"No its not. Bugger off Karin." She growled through clenched teeth. Karin flipped her hair over her shoulder and walked into the room before closing the door, being carful to sway her hips and showing everything that Sakura didn't have.

Sakura stood up, leaving her lyrics for the moment in exchange for getting Karin out of her room.

"Get out, what makes you think I want to 'talk' with the likes of you?" She growled again, her fists clenching by her sides. Karin almost laughed by how she'd managed to affect the girl, it was better than she thought.

"Stay away from Sasuke, you got that rat?" She spat, all amusement leaving from her face as she folded her arms and Stuck out her hip. Sakura blinked, not believing what she said for a second.

"Huh?" Was the genius answer her brain came up with. Karin only glared as she repeated herself.

"I said stay away from my Sasuke." She growled, although it didn't sound as animalistic as Sakura's. Sakura raised an eyebrow, not quite believing what she said. Was she making all that fuss because of that annoying Uchiha? Sakura thought with disbelief. The mere thought of Karin being Jealous of little old Sakura was enough to laugh at.

"Are you jealous?" Sakura couldn't help but asking, disbelief clear in her voice. Karin's glare intensified as she scoffed at her words.

"Like hell! Why would I be jealous of a shapeless rodent like you!" She sneered. Sakura's eyebrows shot up to her hairline, she just called her a 'rodent', which was uncalled for.

"What crawled up your ass and died?" Sakura spat. Karin didn't react however, she just stood there like she was the queen bee before speaking.

"Just because you got into my fiancés pants doesn't mean that you've won him over. I'm going to make sure you suffer and make you wish you were never born." Karin spoke in a low threatening voice. Sakura gapped, she thought Sakura had slept with Sasuke? Uchiha Sasuke? That bastard! No chance in hell!

"Like hell would I sleep with that ball bag! All we ever do is argue! I'm sorry but that isn't even funny!" Sakura shouted. Her voice was filled with disbelief. Karin's eyes narrowed a fraction before she unfolded her arms.

"Lying won't get you anywhere. I guess I'll see you later rat." She spoke in another low voice as she walked out the door, swaying her hips again and irritating Sakura.

Sakura sat back down in her chair, completely shell shocked at the turn of events. Karin thought she'd slept with Sasuke! That was crazy, she wouldn't touch him with a five-foot barge pole. With a shake of the head she ridded her head of such thoughts and returned to her lyrics, it wouldn't do any good thinking about it now…
