Hello and welcome to chapter 7, how I depict Karin in this chapter, os kinda of how I act when I am mad or upset at my boyfriend. I just say I am not mad, but everyone knows I am mad. The girls and guys with a partner will understand. It just happens and you think it's best to keep it to yourself and not say, but you know that you are still bothered by it.

Chapter 7

When Karin woke up she was on her husbands chest cuddling into him as he had both of his arms around her bringing her closer to him. Karin looked up at his sleeping face before laying her head back down on his chest again. She had to admit it was comfortable sleeping on him, and he didn't seem to mind very much. Karin felt very well rested. It was the best sleep she had since her mother had died. Torshiro stirred from his sleep and as he did he tightened is grip on Karin. Waking up he realized something was on him. Seeing black hair on his chest he realized what it was or rather who she was. Karin looked up at him before placing her arms on his chest to proper her head up so she could look up at him.

"Morning" She said shyly.

"Morning, did you sleep well?" Torshiro asked. Karin blushed slightly before nodding.

"Yeah I actually did.." she trailed.

"I did to" He replied, "I would love to sit here and talk some more, but we have to get to breakfast with the king" Torshiro told Karin. She nodded and got off him. She went to her suitcase and grabbed a dress to wear before heading to change in the bathroom, she wasn't in there very long before she came out to get her brush and go and sit at the table mirror that was in the room. Torshiro went and changed next. His hair already the way he liked it so he didn't have to mess with it. Torshiro noticed that KArin had to pull her hair over her shoulder to get it all, so he walked behind her.

"I can help" he offered She thought for a moment before handing the brush to him, so he could brush her hair. He carefully brushed her hair to the ends. He did so until he could feel no more tangles in her hair. He held her soft hair for a small bit, before being interrupted by a knock. He let go of Karin's strands of hair and turned towards the door. Karin spined her chair so she could see who it was.

"Come in" Torshiro said. The door opened for them to see the butler.

"Breakfast is ready" he announced.

"Okay, we will be right down" Torshiro answered. The butler nodded then left the room. Torshiro looked at karin holding out his hand for her. She gratefully accepted his hand. He switch it to his arm and lead her out of the room. The both were happy and looked so, they were like how his mother and father had been. They were announced as they went into the dining room. They sat at the edge of the table Torshiro at the head of their end and Karin on his right. Yamamoto sat at the other end as the head. Eating breakfast was quiet. Once they finished breakfast the deal began. Torshiro explained his idea of the deal and Yamamoto loved it. He didn't have to give up anything that his town needed, and would get to further into understand science like Torshiro's group.

"I would like to say this is my favorite deal yet, there is no negatives for me and as for you I assume that you have a surplus and don't need all of it so little if there are any negatives for you as well. I also believe that we should make a science center in the middle of our two kingdoms so that one can't say it's theirs" Yamato said.

"Excellent idea" Torshiro said. Karin stayed quiet most of the talk. She would only speak when Torshiro wanted her to clarify something that they both didn't understand. As the meeting came to an end it was only a little past noon, so Torshiro decided it would be alright to go around the kingdom. Karin go to look at all the shops. Torshiro bought a few things for who said was a friend. Karin looked at the items questioning that statement, but remembered the night before and brushed it aside.

Karin had named a few things off that she wanted to get, but regardless Torshiro never bought any of them. Karin was finally fed up with it,

"I want to go back to the palace" Karin said changing her mood.

"Okay..' Torshiro said surprised. He thought they were having fun, he kept finding wonderful things to send to Momo. When Torshiro put his hand out for Karin to get into the carriage, for the first time she didn't take it. They got to the palace and Karin went to their rooms bathroom to take a bath skipping dinner. Torshiro was concerned about her. Finishing up his dinner Torshiro said goodnight to Yamato and headed up stairs. Entering their room he noticed Karin was still in the bathroom. Knocking on the door.

"Karin are you okay?" he called

"I'm fine.." Karin answered getting out of the tub and then putting on her nightgown. She walked out of the bathroom, and took off the necklace that Torshiro had given her and told her not to take off. Karin made sure Torshiro saw this.

"Karin, why did you take the necklace off" He asked.

"I don't want it" Karin said walking back into the bathroom. Torshiro thought for a moment before sighing.

"Our relationship was going so well what happened?" Torshiro questioned himself. They both laid down in bed

"Night Karin" Torshiro said.

"Night Torshiro" came Karin's response.

"Love you" Torshiro told her, but Karin never responded. Torshiro's heart ached as he never got a response back before they fell asleep. Torshiro had a hard time falling asleep and Karin's sleep was patching. When Torshiro woke up Karin was already dressed and sitting in a spare chair. Torshiro watched her as she was mumbling to herself. Sighing he got up and prepared for the long journey back. The butler had the servants that worked in the palace put their bags in the carriage. Karin left the room following the servants with the bags. She got into the carriage skipping breakfast. Torshiro got some breakfast and said some last words to Yamamoto before leaving. Karin was looking out of the window. She didn't even turn to look who had entered the carriage when the door had opened. The carriage went past all the stores that they had visited. Torshiro had the carriage stop somewhere but karin didn't care enough to check where they were at. Torshiri was gone for about half an hour before coming back. He had talked to the driver for 10 minutes before getting back into the carriage. The carriage didn't move right away, but it did eventually get on its way heading back to their own kingdom. The trip back to the kingdom was less happy. Karin didn't talk to Torshiro and Torshiro just watched her from the corner of his eye. He peered out the window and could see their castle from where they were; decided to try one more time to figure out what was wrong.

"Karin, what's wrong with you? " Torshiro asked. Karin peered at him debating whether or not to see.

"Nothing is wrong, I just want to go to my room when we get back and rest" Karin said, before looking back out the window. The carriage got to the castle steps and Karin stepped out before Torshiro had the chance to stop her. Heading straight to her room. Matsumoto got back from throwing away trash to see Karin leaving Torshiro at the carriage. Torshiro, looked dejected as he watched Karin run away into the castle. Matsumoto went over to Torshiro.

"What did she do now? Is she back to the way she was like at the wedding," she asked. Torshiro sighed,

"No, at least I don't think so, everything was fine, we even spent the night together in the same room, we were happy until we went into the kingdom, we were doing some shopping" Torshiro said, Matsumoto realized something facepalming.

"You were buying things for Momo weren't you? Did you buy anything for Karin at that time?" she asked.

"Yes, I always do, and no not at that time, but I went back later when we were heading back to buy a few things" he answered.

"Did Karin know that you went back in to buy her things?" she asked feeling bad for the poor girl that she once hated.

"I guess not, but what does that matter" Torshiro asked.

"Karin see's you buying girly things, but not for her. She probably thinks that you don't love her and that you are having affairs outside of your guys marriage." Matsumoto explained.

"But I would never!" Torshiro argued.

"I know that, but Karin doesn't also Torshiro you need to stop sending Momo gifts like that, it's unneeded. You are married now Torshiro and you need to love Karin not Momo" she finished before grabbing Karin's bags. "Now I'm going upstairs to try and fix everything you caused." She went into the castle and upstairs to Karin's room. Knocking on the door. She could hear karin say enter beyond the door. When she opened the door, she could see Karin at the desk.

"I brought your bags up and was wondering what was wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong, nothing," Karin said.

"You upset that Torshiro was buying things that weren't for you, but for someone else's." she remarked. Karin looked up surprised at her before looking away again. "He's been doing that for her ever since they were young."

"I don't want to talk about it, please leave" karin said. The strawberry blonde sighed before leaving the room. Torshiro watched her come out.

"Well?" he asked.

"No, she didn't budget, but you should probably talk to her soon or you might be in some trouble. It looks as if she is writing letters, but I don't know to who" she answered. Torshiro ran a hand through his white hair.

"Okay I will" he said before entering into his own room. Torshiro didn't know what to do, but had to think of something. Torshiro went to bed trying to figure out how to calm down Karin and explain everything.

Done! I hope you enjoyed the read!

Before we end I am going to answer a question that a reviewer had, so to sailor star9 her question was:

Am I correct to assume that the reason Karin snuck out during the evenings is to observe what the kingdom requires?

The answer is yes, I wanted Karin to have experiences outside of the castle and have a secret ish life while out and about in town! Karin is an extremely intelligent character and is super observant, she quickly realized that the children of the kingdom weren't getting the best education and that the kingdoms sciences was a little bit behind than what she had seen in other kingdoms that she had visited.

I hope that answered the question and….

As always comment, review, vote, favorite, follow, ect…

Special thanks to all the reviews that have been constantly telling me what they think! Final thing is I wanted to open up a Q and A in the next chapter, so comment your Questions and I will Answer them as truthfully as I can to the fullest I can as long as I am not giving away to much of what will come.

Until Next Time
