(Karins POV)

I was just given the most difficult decision to make. To stay here, in the Leaf, when the exams are over, or go back to England. I felt so torn, confused.

On one hand, I had my brother back, and my older brother to destroy. On the other hand, I had L and my friends. Kiro and Akimi, and Watari too. I have grown fond of the older man, he was like a 2nd father to me. One who cared about me as I was and did not compare me to any of the others.

As I calmed down, I decided to stick with what I told Sasuke. My life here was over, I had a new life with L and the others, in England. There, I would be safe as I trained for the day I fight Itachi. I relaxed, and left my hiding place. A spot I always went to as a child.

I ran to the hotel as fast as I could and knocked on the door. Akimi opened it. She hugged me close.

"Are you okay Karin? Izumo-sensei told us what he told you." She asked. I smiled as I hugged her back.

"I'm fine Akimi. Im sorry sensei, I just need some time alone, to think about what you said. I decided to stay with you guys, In England. That is where I belong." I told my comrades. Izumo-sensei nodded, a smile on his face. Akimi looked up.

"Same goes for me as well." Akimi srated as we seperated. We smiled at each other. Izumo-sensei nodded.

""Well then, go to bed, we have an early day of training tomorrow!" He told us, turning the lights off.

I left the room to get dressed and then went back inside to go to bed. I thought about seeing Sasuke for the first time in 5 years, and about seeing L when I go back to England. It still hurt, to think that I was leaving my brother, but I wanted to stay with L...I loved him. That was the reason for my choice.

Even if he doesn't love me, I would still go back to England. We could still be friends. The only thing that would make me change my mind was if L never wanted to see me again. Then I would stay here, and not go back to the Wammy house.

It was a very long night for me..

We woke up very early the next day. We got worn out with all the new moves sensei was teaching us. Mostly I copied the jutsu with my sharingan, then started training on them.

He taught each of us a new ninjutsu. He taught Kiro a jutsu called Earth Dragon, Akimi learned the water dragon justu, and he taught me fire dragon jutsu.

After I finished training I went over to my old home, the Uchiha Estate. I waited at the door for Sasuke, because we were going to go to Ichiraku then come back here to catch up.

I didn't have to wait long for Sasuke to arrive. I smiled at my twin brother as we walked to the restaurant. We sat alone, not even Naruto was there, I wondered why since I knew he was obsessed with Ramen. We ate in silence and left.

"What have you been up to since then brother?" I asked him.

"Well, I graduated top of the class, ended up on the same team as that knuckled head, Naruto and my #1 fangirl, Sakura. We have a sensei who always makes us wait. I swear, he'll be late to his own funeral!" He told me. I laughed.

"His name is Kakashi Hatake, and he makes the lamest excuses when he is late. And I don't mean like 5 or 10 minutes late, I mean 2 or so hours late!" He exclaimed. I shook my head, a smile on my face.

"Well, My senseis names is Izumo, and my teammates are Akimi Hyuga and Kiro Kaguya. He uses his bones as weapons. Thats his Kekkei genkai."

"Akimi-chan is with you?" He asked. I nodded.

"Huh. I thought she died in the attack all those years ago."

"So did I, until I found her in England. She somehow ended up there, she doesn't remember what happened between the attack and waking up there." I replied.

"Thats interesting. Well, at least I know you're safe. No need to worry about Itachi finding you on another continent." Sasuke thought out loud, obviously relieved at that.

"Just be careful brother, you know how he is. He'll probably use Tsukuyomi on you again next time you 2 cross paths."

After a little while, I left, needing to go back to the hotel. I met Akimi half way there.

"Where have you been Karin?" She asked me.

"I've been with Sasuke at my old home. Just talking about life and trading stories. What about you? Hanging out with Neji and Hinata?" I asked. She nodded as we got to the hotel.
