Hey readers! I'm really happy you all seem to be enjoying the story! I wrote this chapter last night and decided it must be published right away.
Warning: This chapter is very citrusy ;)
Thanks for reading and please REVIEW:D
"Yeah"
The word had barely escaped my lips before I was pinned against the wall; he held my arms tightly above my head, rendering me helpless to his whims. I looked him in the face. Absorbing all of his familiar features, from his thin eyebrows, to his long eyelashes that framed beautiful obsidian eyes, down to the way his dark bangs fell perfectly across his forehead.
I wondered what he was thinking. The silence of the room had me on edge. Sasuke leaned into me, our cheeks grazing each other as his mouth reached my ear.
"You're mine." He murmured longingly. His voice sent unexplainable waves of pleasure though my body. My face turned hot and my breath caught.
His lips crashed into mine with a ferocity I had never seen before. I gasped, giving him an opportunity to force his velvet soft tongue pass my teeth. Warmth that seemed to be pooled in my stomach rushed to my inner thighs. I felt one of his hands go up into my hair, roughly tugging the dark strands as the kiss deepened.
The other went inside my kimono and cupped one of my breasts. He rubbed his thumb against the most sensitive part. I broke the kiss with a soft moan.
"Jeez you piss me off." Sasuke whispered breathlessly. His voice sounded as aroused as I felt.
"I'm so sorry." I responded sarcastically
"Look what you do to me." He claimed hotly as he grinded slowly against me.
A feverish blush consumed my face as I felt his hardened member being ground into my inner thighs.
"S-Sasuke stop i-it" I suggested shakily, my voice a quiet whisper.
A knock at the door, shifted the two of us from our lust filled haze. With an irritated growl, Sasuke crossed the room and opened the door to see Jugo standing out in the hall.
"We need to speak in private." Jugo stated. "Unless you are busy." He gave me a strange look.
"Come on." Sasuke responded simply as he followed Jugo out into the hall, and closing the door behind him.
I released a long sigh and rested my head in my hands. "What the hell am I to do now?" I asked myself "I'm like the Naruto-verse skank."
I chewed the inside of my lip and stood up. I decided the best thing to do at the moment was to visit the hot springs. Maybe I'll relax a little,
It was surprisingly easy to locate the women's changing rooms, and my shoulders relaxed fractionally as I stepped inside. The air was warm and moist. I took my time showering and scrubbed myself with some strange flower-scented soap that had been provided.
After drying myself with a towel and wrapping it around myself, I entered the springs, taking in my surrounding with a stern expression on my face. The floor and walls were all a dark, auburn-colored wood, and the springs were large and rectangular, tons of steam emanating from the crystal clear water.
There was a barrier and a large screen that separated the men's and woman's sides. I noticed Karin reclined against the wall on the woman's side. Her fair skin was flushed from heat and her bright scarlet hair was rather frizzy. Her eyes were closed and her face relaxed. After a few moments of indecision, I finally decided to join her.
"Hopefully she doesn't decide to drown me." I muttered as I slipped into the deliciously hot water.
I felt the tension slowly seep out of my muscles as I settled down a few feet from Karin. A tiny smile tugged at the corner of my lips at the thought of what had just happened to me.
"So Sasuke does care….a little….in a lust-filled way." I thought. Then I mentally face palmed at the thought that "Love and lust are two completely different emotions"
Karin cracked open her eyes and gave a skeptical look.
"I mean no harm, Promise." I claimed raising my hands in defense.
"Hmph" Karin mumbled
An awkward silence overcame the two of us and I finally leaned back, my eyes drifted shut.
"So you love Sasuke." Karin said. Her simple statement sounded more like a question.
Completely caught off guard by her question, I became flustered.
"I mean I don't know, I wouldn't say love that's such a strong word." I stammered "Perhaps more like I like him a lot."
Karin looked perplexed. "No offence but you couldn't possibly love him more than me. I've loved him since childhood.'
My face paled. "Congrats?" I responded sarcastically.
Karin frowned and despite my wishes began telling her story. I decided that listening was the better thing to do at the moment.
"When I was younger I took part in the Chunin Exams that were being held in the Hidden Leaf. During the second phase, which was taking place in the forest of death, I ended up getting separated from my teammates. As I strolled along, I was attacked by a large bear. But to my surprise I was saved by Sasuke. Without his interference I was sure to be dead. Before he left I caught a good glimpse of him, he was even gorgeous back then. And the warm smile he gave before he ran off with forever stitched into my memory. Some things you just can't forget. Many years had passed and my love for him had grown strong, only by a mere good deed on his part. And now the universe has brought us back together."
I looked at her with a look of shock, but somehow with underlying admiration. I mean you have to me either really determined or really crazy to dedicate your entire life to someone who doesn't even show signs of even caring about your existence. Once again I felt guilty, like I had somehow stripped everything she's worked for right from under her. I mean yeah, maybe it would never happen. But at least it wasn't by my hand.
"I love him with everything in me." Karin said looking me straight in the eye. "And I'm sorry to inform you that I'm a better woman for him than you. He needs a woman that can compliment him in everything; especially the battle field. That's why I'm going to be the one to heal him, inside and out."
I was admittedly rendered speechless. And judging from the stern look on Karin's face, she was as serious as ever.
"You have a point." I admitted "Which is why I will train to become stronger."
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
The next morning, team Taka was up at the break of dawn to set out on their mission to capture Killer B. Did I mention I still wasn't permitted to go, so I decided I would use the well needed time away from the group to train in private.
I sat high up in a tree that overlooked the trail that led away from the village. The sun rose tiredly over the horizon coloring the morning sky several shades of yellow and orange. I watched as Sasuke, Karin, Jugo and Suigetsu walked out of the gates and began to stroll up the dusty trail. Karin clung to Sasuke's arm with a bright smile on her face.
I couldn't help the smile that overtook my face, for some reason I had grown to respect Karin a bit. Maybe she is a crazy bitch at times, but I figured that there is more to her than what I was seeing.
I didn't want to tell everyone goodbye. Mostly because of the conflict that can potentially arise between me, Sasuke, and Suigetsu. So I decided to see them off from the comfort of this tree. As they got further down the path, Karin turned around and looked me dead in the eyes. A strange sparkle was in her rose-colored eyes.
"Good luck." I mouthed to her matching her odd smile.
"Same to you." She mouthed back.
I nodded and jumped from the tree, hitting the ground with a faint thumping sound. I sighed loudly.
"I have exactly two weeks before they return." I said to myself "Let the training began!"
Sasuke makes his intentions known and sweeps Crimson of her feet, but will the update in information change her and Suigetsu's relationship? Karin and Crimson are on decent terms, can these females actually stay that way? And team Taka has finally set out on their mission to capture Killer B; will Crimson make an overwhelming transformation upon their return?
