Hey readers! Thanks for reading! I'm happy you all are enjoying it so far. I'm having the hardest time portraying a basically insane character, lol. But wish me luck!

The song for this chapter is "We are broken." by Paramore!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto!

"Sasuke-Kun" I said quietly "What happened to you?"

"What?" he asked with another overly creepy laugh "I'm much more powerful than before! This is what being an avenger has given me!"

I said nothing. What could be said during a psychotic rant? I focused on Sasuke's wrist. Wrapping it slowly in bandage. I stopped noticing rows of small, jagged, white scars trailing up his ivory skin.

Impulsively, I ran my fingers gently across one of the longest scars. Sasuke tensed up. His wrist muscles flexing slightly against my fingertips. We were silent. After all, words weren't needed.

My hand continued up his arm. Loving the feel of his soft skin. I looked him in the face, meeting his gaze.

"As you know, I'm not a quitter Sasuke-Kun"

He didn't respond. So I continued.

"I won't give up on you" my voice lowering into a whisper "They say if you don't stand by someone when their at their lowest; then you were never there for them in the first place."

I stood up. Turning my back to him, hiding the dark blush on my face. "I will always stand by your side Sasuke-Kun. Because I care about you. Whether you feel the same or not."

I looked back at him. He stared blankly at me. "After all, isn't that what you do for someone you love? Stand by them at all costs?"

I walked off. Not waiting to hear the Uchiha's response. Because I just noticed I basically told him I loved him.

I went back to camp. Suigetsu sat next to the campfire. Leaned back against his sword, that he stabbed into the ground. Like a makeshift seat.

"Where is Jugo-Kun?" I asked strolling over and sitting down.

"In his tent. Asleep." said Suigetsu

"Oh" I replied stretching out on the ground. Refusing to let my mind wander to the emotionless Sasuke.

"Since I'm sure you don't want to share a tent with Karin, you can share mine with me." Suigetsu stated "If you want to.."

Just then Karin emerged from her tent. Wearing nothing but a short yellow towel that barely touched the top of her thighs.

"Where is Sasuke!" she demanded loudly

"I could ask the same about your clothes." I replied gesturing toward her towel "Besides that he isn't in my pocket."

"Yeah" Suigetsu chimed in "I could've lived my entire life without seeing you in that."

"Shut the hell up! And tell me where Sasuke is!" Karin blared

Suigetsu and I went silent. Just looking at the red headed kunoichi.

"What the heck are you two death?"

"You told us to shut up." Suigetsu responded smartly

Karin's face turned bright red "Tell me now!"

"He said he was going to go bathe" came Jugo's sleepy voice from inside his tent.

"Thanks Jugo-Kun" Karin said sharply

After scowling at Suigetsu and I, she walked down the path.

Not even two minutes later, Sasuke strode over to us from the opposite direction. Towel drying his inky black hair. Silent as usual. He glanced at me for a brief second.

"Hey Sasuke, you see Karin while you were out bathing?" Suigetsu asked

"No" Sasuke replied walking over into his dark blue tent.

Suigetsu and I busted into laughter.

"I wonder if she went the right way?" I asked through giggles

"Who cares?" Suigetsu laughed "Crazy perverts need to be lost amongst the forest."

Soon after our laughing fit, we ate some Sukiyaki. Might I add Suigetsu has absolutely no cooking skills whatsoever and should be forbidden to ever look at a kitchen.

I went into our tent followed by Suigetsu. I sat on my sleeping bag and quickly stripped off my kimono. Revealing a small grey tank top and black shorts. I put my hair up onto a bun and glanced over at Suigetsu out of the corner of my eye. He took off his shirt.

My jaw nearly dropped. He was surprisingly nicely built. Lightly sun-kissed skin, broad shoulders, abs. I truthfully couldn't rip my eyes off of him.

"You like what you see?" Suigetsu asked looking over at me with a sly wink.

My face turned an unattractive shade of red. "No! I don't!"

Suigetsu smirked. Looking suddenly amused as he said

"You were staring like you did."

"No I wasn't!" I lied glaring at my silver-blue haired teammate.

"Crimson, if you had stared any harder I would have had a hole in my chest."

"Shut the hell up!" I hissed quickly blushing three shades darker.

I picked up one of my zori, and threw it at him. Bopping him upside the head.

"Oww" he rubbed the spot where he was hit. "You'll pay for that!"

"Oh, shut up." I taunted him "I'm not afraid of you."

Suigetsu lunged at me. With the furiously of an enraged cat. I couldn't move quick enough before I was pinned under the weight of my violet eyed enemy.

"Get your heavy ass off of me!" I said barely sitting up. Putting us face to face.

A silence fell over us. When we noticed how close we were to each other. Our eyes locked in a glare.

"If I didn't know any better I would think that you want to kiss me." said Suigetsu. His voice had lowered into a husky whisper.

My eyes widen and I blushed all over again.

"Shut up!" I growled "I don't want to kiss you!"

"Well you're the one who sat up, like this." Suigetsu said smirking deviously

"Because you tackled me!" I nearly shrieked. My voice gaining pitch

"Because you hit me in the head with your sandal" he said back

"Because, you accused me of staring at your shirtless body!"

"Because you were." Suigetsu whispered so softly it made unwanted chills shoot down my spine.

"Just get off of me." I retorted trying to push him off.

"Okay" he replied "But I'll defiantly get you back."

"Bring it on!" I said

Well Crimson accidentally tells Sasuke about her love for him. How will our cold hearted Uchiha act? Will it make him rethink avenging Itachi? Probably not, but will it at least slow up his path to complete insanity?

And flirting in the tent! It seems that Suigetsu and Crimson's relationship is moving along fast! But will our violet eyed ninja have what it takes to by pass Sasuke to Crimson's heart?

Karin's obsessive behavior has stranded her in the woods. Will she do everyone a favor and not return?

And will Jugo have more speaking parts?
