Karin couldn't sleep. She kept tossing and turning, with the scene replaying in her mind for countless of times. She could not understand. Why would Suigetsu do such a thing, especially to her? Why didn't she fight back that time? Most important of all, why did she enjoy it? Her face burnt up. The night felt like an endless pit.

Now back at the room next door, Suigetsu's face was pumped up with blood. It took him 5 minutes to logically think through what had just happen. With his mind clearing up, he turned bright red. What the fuck just happened? Why the fuck must he end it all with 'Don't tempt me like that'? Suigetsu buried his face into his pillow.

"Fuck!"

Suigetsu opened his eyes. He was surprised to find himself being able to sleep through the night after such a… well… unusual incident. Just the thought of last night heated up his face.

He glanced at the clock. The three of them would have to leave the town for Konoha by noon, leaving him only around 3 hours or so. Haha, it was weird how they had left Konoha a month ago in search for a place to return to. How, they were all going back to where it had all started.

Suigetsu walked out of his room and sensed that the Jugo and Karin were probably out and about.

"Thank god. Wouldn't want to see that damn bitch anyway."

He walked back to his room and fell on his bed. He reached out his hands and smelled it. The watermelon scent still lingered on his hands. In fact, it was getting stronger.

It had already been an hour since Suigetsu had stepped out of the inn. Watermelon tasting had made him full. All the fruit stalls had watermelons as green as the grass of the Leaf village and flesh as red as blood, yet none of them tasted like Karin. He walked out of the village and laid on the grass patch, munching his last bit of watermelon. The world felt mysterious. Suigetsu wonders. He wondered why he felt so intoxicated. He wondered why his heart races thinking about the red head. And he wondered, why did he like her. Wait. What?

Karin was zoned out. Since the morning, she couldn't do anything right. She drank a cup of sugar instead of her morning tea, her chakra sensing training was all messed up and in fact, she felt her whole life was in a whirl. Sipping her tea, Karin looked up into the sky. It was blue as always but this time, the sky felt eternal and brought her mind far away. Hmmm. Maybe that's why that Shikamaru guy loved cloud watching.

She took a deep breathe and sighed. Karin touched her neck. Countless of people have bitten all over her body before for chakra. Even her first love Sasuke did so multiple times. So why, why did just a simple lick from Suigetsu felt so… different?

She laid down on the bench and thought about it. Karin had never actually felt this way with Sasuke before. Maybe it's love.

Love. What exactly is love? Karin was head over heels for Sasuke but even she didn't know whether that was love or just a momentary obsession over his body and chakra level. Karin thought about Suigetsu. It was only moments later that she realized- who is Suigetsu?

Yes, Karin knows that he was from Kirigakure's Hozuki clan and all his relations with Orochimaru and the 7 swords men. That was basically it. Well, he has this thing for teasing her. She was mad at that but it was nice to have someone like him to lighten up the mood during their Hebi days. All these thoughts just sparked up her mind. Karin jolted up. She had no practical reason but Karin knew that she had to speak to Suigetsu. Now.

Suigetsu's face turned bright red. He felt so embarrassed just picturing himself telling Karin 'I like you'. Urgh, wasn't there any other way to d a confession? In the first place, part of him still refused to admit that he was smitten and in love with the red head. Part of him was panicing. After all the childish teases, will Karin even take a confession from him seriously? Suigetsu sighed. Since when did he had such serious feelings her? He scratched his head. His memories with her felt like a ball of red thread all tangled up. There was no way out of this seductive, sweet-smelling red trap.

Just at that instant, Suigetsu's ears perked up and flushed red. Karin was behind him. Any ninja would have known.

End of chapter 2
