03: The least thing he expects is for her to receive a love letter. "I would never thought boys will grovel at your feet." He only thinks it is just a stupid prank, but why does he feel more affected than he shouldn't have when she suddenly goes on a date.

AU. Disclaimed.


Love Letter

by: you are my math

- Compared to my love, yours is just an understatement -

Ever since that day she receives the letter, everything about them changes—feelings grew, realizations came into the picture. Nothing is the same anymore.

/-o-/

There's no way someone will give her a love letter. Suigetsu thinks this is just an utter bull.

/-o-/

If only you could hear me shout your name, if only you could feel my love again, the stars in the sky will never be the same.

Those are the words written in the paper full of intricacies, when he discreetly peeks beside the woman before him. He chokes on his own saliva, seriously taken aback. The words are cheesy, and full of metaphors, he thinks it's so stupid. One moment, surprise is an understatement to him. Second, he is actually laughing.

Karin throws him an indignant look.

"You know that may just be a prank!" He barely settles down, speaking in between his laughter. "I wouldn't put it past you really."

But Karin pays him no heed, as she stares longingly at the paper she is holding. For some reason, she wants to consider the thought that maybe this is just a prank, or whatever the hell it is. But then again, the only person who can pull an annoying, nerve-wracking crap of prank to her is none other than the stupid a-hole standing beside her.

So, she doubts this is a prank. Okay, it might be, but she reconsiders the idea that there are still those brave souls. Besides, no one will dare cross her line just to pull a prank. She beats people, if that's a reminder.

"I never would thought boys will grovel at your feet."

Usually, she will just dismiss this off, thinking this is some cliché high school romance—one, that wouldn't last long enough till college or even a lifetime. But this time, she wants to give this one a shot. Of course, she likes Sasuke, but the dude seriously has a thing for her friend, Sakura. So she thinks it's good to goof around, not literally, but why not give it a chance.

Or somewhere along that line.

If this one doesn't work, then so be it. There's still plenty of fish in the sea.

"Don't tell me you're actually falling for that shit." He counters, perplexed, when he hardly receives a snap, or a smack from her.

She is quick to give her attention to him, glaring, and snarling something. "Shut up, Shark Boy."

He whistles lowly, as though her almost dreamy look of Juliet doesn't amuse him. He crosses his arm, diverting his gaze to the paper. "It looks like a lame ass song lyric." He teases, grinning when he saw her riling up, boiling, and readying to fly off her fist.

But Karin knows better, so she slides it off. And, somehow Suigetsu feels this small tug of slight disappointment.

"I swear if this is one of those pranks you like to shit around, Suigetsu. Heaven knows." She threatens, voice unwavering, as her eyes narrowing to the very person who likes to provoke her till she reaches the peak of the highest place in this world.

He chuckles, throwing her an impossible look. "Think whatever you want, I ain't gon' write you a year worth of metaphors for a love letter."

She whirls around, annoyed. "Well, you better be." And then that is what she says before she departs.

He raises his brow, not tearing away his attention to her just to see the mere sight of her gently smiling on the love letter shit she's holding.

/-o-/

She thinks it's cute, and romantic to have a bouquet of daffodils left inside her locker. She thinks it's thoughtful when she finds the back of her locker's door filled with sticky notes with each of them either has a sweet pick up line, or good morning messages to boost for the day. And, she absolutely thinks it's cool when the whole campus hears her name blasting from the speakers of school grounds, paging her. Surely it's her secret admirer's schemes.

But he thinks it's disgustingly creepy. How does this creep ever get her locker's passcode?

He always begs to differ when his eyes always flicker on the group of girls flocking, and squealing, and giggling to where her locker is every-fucking-morning.

"She gets flowers again. I wonder how long that'd last." Juugo joins in, watching a group of teenage girls giggling over something stupid, Suigetsu thinks.

At first, of course, it seems okay to him. No one will take her way too seriously, thinking it is just really a one hella prank. At the same time, of course, he is occasionally noting that they're too shallow to be happy over a bouquet of flowers. So, he swallows the very entertainment brings upon by her friends, or even the whole school body.

But as days drags on, and on, and on. He finds himself getting annoyed to it.

Every morning he has to deal with it.

He figures, it is way too serious to be just a prank. C'mon, he doubts the fucker, who spends a wad of cash just to afford a bouquet of shrubs, and sticky notes, is a beggar. So maybe the dude's really serious, and well-damn rich.

Either that, maybe he owns a huge garden on his backyard.

He winces; somehow the idea of her being courted by someone is severely disturbing.

"Flowers don't suit her." He says, almost even sulking, unaware of his surroundings.

Juugo catches that, and flatly asks. "Should I consider that declaration a good thing, or bad thing?"

He shrugs, sneering, hardly finding an exact answer to call out.

Ever since this secret admirer of hers came into the picture everything just seems to flip upside down, even Juugo notices that huge change. She rarely snaps at him, rarely snarls when he makes a rational comeback, although, of course, there will still be times, but that only happens when her swings is at the terrible state.

Her hits, although it is still fucking painful, they aren't like they were before. It's a scratch if he'll ever compare it to the previous ones he gets.

It seems as though she doesn't give a flying crap anymore, because if it can be prevented she will most likely walk away from it.

But what really hits him right across the gut is the fact that she never talks about how she despises him so much with her friends like she usually does, rather, she talks about how lovely her Prince Charming, who disguises as her biggest number one fan, is.

Suigetsu thinks she is better off liking Sasuke instead, rather than some guy he barely knows. At least, when she is head over heels with Sasuke, he can tease her, and she can actually fall for it.

"Hadn't she known that she is being pranked? I can't wait to see her face once she realizes that!" He laughs, as he heads down to his first class.

But of course, Juugo knows better, he knows that his friend just misses all the attention given to him.

/-o-/

There are only few things he likes, and one of those is yoghurt.

The one he is holding is the last piece, luckily, he gets it, and is about to pay for it already. So when Karin's suddenly snatches the little piece of heaven that he only has right now, and pays for it immediately before he slips off a cash, that is when he finally loses it.

"I'll take this thank ya!" She says, grinning happily.

"You son of! I'm about to pay for that already." He reaches for it, but she has quick reflexes.

She has been on a good mood, lately. Why wouldn't she? "Well, you're too slow to slide a bill to the counter." She whirls around to save it from his grasps.

"Hey! You know what manners are, right?" He counters, hovering to her from the back, as reaches for his yoghurt with both of his hands.

"Yeah, I know, and I say you're too close, dumbass!" She snaps, shrugging him off to the side. "Move!"

He rolls his eyes, as he inches forward. "Just give it back, and I'll move."

He's unexpectedly calm, and he doesn't know why. Maybe because he doesn't like it when she is in a total different mood and one hundred percent of it isn't because of him, or any of his pestering.

"I paid for this!" She tucks out her tongue at him.

So he tackles her, snaking his one arm around hers from behind, and successfully restraining her left arm, while his other arm reaches up for her arm which is holding the yoghurt.

She shouts at him. He curses at her. They fight. She wriggles against his hold. He blocks her escape. So she swings her head backwards and head butts him right across in the nose. He grimaces, but still, at least, he finally able to reach it.

But as instantly as he holds her in his arms at that moment, he withdraws, and just stands before her.

She scowls, snapping her head to the other side with all the pride that she has, as she crosses her arms over her chest, ignoring his contemptuous smile.

He scoffs derisively. "You do have the potential of being a snatcher."

Karin gives him a sidelong glance.

Suigetsu shrugs, tossing the yoghurt midair but catching it right on time. "If you want this, then go ask your prince charming for one. Since we all have this unwritten rule of first come, first serve."

He thought his words sounded bitter than he would expected, but that's beyond the point.

She watches him departs gradually, her sidelong stare boring a hole on his back. She is left wondering what just happened.

Usually, he will grasp every bit of opportunity just to make fun of her, but right now he flatly dismisses the chance. For the eleven years they've known each other ever since kindergarten, this is the first time, she has seen that kind of expression on his face, as though he felt…betrayed. Or hurt.

She is just playing though. She never knew that he'd truly get offended by it.

It's not like she cares, of course. But the used of his words are somewhat offending.

/-o-/

"Dude, what on earth do you think you're doing?"

"Shh, shut up, dickhead! You'll blow me up!"

"What? Why the hell are you wearing a face mask?"

"Were you planning on spying my cousin?"

"Of course not! What the fuck, man! Who would do such thing for that troll?"

Naruto shrugs. "Well, why else are you here?"

"I'm waiting for my chance to screw this up! Better yet, I'm waiting till that jerk loses it. He won't last long."

"Why would you do that?"

"To kill time, man! Now, shut the hell up, she's here."

Time practically drags on.

And everything is going smoothly on Karin, and her oh-so-prince. While, of course, on his part, he's doing his very best to subtly ignore the red-haired freak. Subtly—since he doesn't want to be seen as a weirdo for avoiding her out of the blue.

Their interaction idled to a halt, thinking that he might be bothering her in a way that she wouldn't really, really like it, not that she likes him pestering her, but this time it just feels different. So it most likely stops, until…

That was Monday to be exact.

Before he knows it, he is standing right in the bleachers area of the football field. There's nothing really to note or special about that day, except the fact that he finds himself stopping midway from retreating down the field just to watch a certain someone gets confess to.

There, they stand on the ground, as the guy declares his foolish admiration to the woman in front of him. Suigetsu gulps, even though he is internally insisting himself to withdraw from the scene, and although this sudden action violates her rights as an individual, the words somehow didn't reach him.

That time, he knows, something within refrains himself from breathing. He doesn't know why. But the bitter truth of her getting a confession from someone, just hits him hard right across the chest.

The tingly feeling is so unsettling that he is eager to destroy it.

So when he hears those idiots spill the beans about her going on a date, it leads to this.

The blonde bends down next to where he is. "Whoa, she's pretty stylish today."

"Pfft, she looks nothing more special."

But no one can ever explain why his heart suddenly fleet on a high speed chase when he sees her. Really, dude? Really?

Naruto nudges him on the ribs. "Oh, that must be right? But this's really the very first time I've seen her having a good time. Don't you think?"

"Well what do you expect? This is the first time someone actually dared to date her."

"Yeah, but see that face? She's really smiling, dude! She's my cousin but I've never seen her do that!" He points out.

Suigetsu narrows his eyes. "She's faking it. Why the hell you do not know your own cousin?"

"Then that means you know her better than I? What might probably be the reason, hmm?"

Of course, that is eleven years worth of fights, it's only natural for him to know her, it's not like he's paying extra attention to her more than what her own cousin is doing. It's not like that. No one does that to their mortal enemies. He really just became accustomed to her presence that is all.

He throws Naruto a death glare. "Don't you have anywhere else to go other than here, you fucker?"

"I'm going on a movie with Hinata, but she's not here yet. So…" Naruto seems contemplating but even so Suigetsu instantly beats him to it.

"Well, go somewhere else first. You'll expose me!"

"He-hey! Stop shoving me! I'll get my ass off your business." Annoyed, Naruto stands up, dusting off his pants from the dirt. "Geez, dude this is no way to treat your girl's family member."

"What the heck are you saying?"

Naruto barely snaps him a glance, still tidying up his outfit all while muttering darkly in between at how Hinata will see him looking like a total crap. "You should chill out sometime a while, you're like Sasuke when jealous—aggressive, possessive and all that shit."

He twitches. "Man, are you stupid? She's not my girlfriend." Now, that the little cousin plays the role and finally gets his attention, he doesn't think that the blonde will get any further away from this, not till Suigetsu makes his dealings to him crystal clear.

It should be easy.

Naruto raises his brow. "That's kinda the point. She isn't, so why are—"

But it isn't.

"Look man, I don't like her. She's not my type—" he cringes, somewhere deep within tugs him down onto the ground. "—I like hot chicks, not her. I don't like overbearing and sharp-tongued girls, I like Ino that girl has class, unlike that red-haired freak." It's nothing but an honest answer, really.

"Dude, you're insulting my cousin."

He smirks. "If that's how you see it, but I'm just describing her. Besides, no one will go for a hag. Pfft, I'm just testing how long that guy will last. He clearly doesn't like her, I think this all is just a prank."

Of course he knows it isn't.

"Oh, I guess you know it better than I, huh, Suigetsu?"

Shoot. He knows he's ready to fly off to some place when he hears the oh-so familiar voice rings through his ears. He winces at the thought. The thing that only runs in his head is how he jut wants to settle down in his couch and play xbox instead.

Things had escalated way too fast. Either that, he still holds on that line of hope that he didn't just get caught-in-the-act.

"What are you doing here? Are you trying to screw my date?"

He is quick to rummage through a rational response, while maintaning his nonchalant self, although, he somehow doubt himself on that, as he shifts around to meet her very presence standing two meters before him. He couldn't put it quite well on why his palms suddenly became sweaty.

He gulps. All he ever realizes, but still will not admit, is the fact at how exclusively dressed she is for her date today.

She never does that. There may be times, yes, but this time, it really feels different.

"Why are you dressed like that?" He tries to dismiss her sudden interruption, but shoot. He never thought those will be the first thing he'd say. He knows where this choice of words are coming from, and deep down he feels agitated.

Nervous, huh?

"What? Of course I'd wear something special for my date!"

He wonders why?

Suigetsu sniggers, almost even laughing contemptuously. "You call that dress special? The only special thing about here is your undeniably terrible look!"

He digs down, wondering on the answer. Why? His words always slip through involuntarily as though it demands no consent.

"What!?" She shrieks. He discreetly notes, when she inches forward to where he stands, completely leaving her date behind. And, somehow, that stupid action she makes eases him. "You jerk! It doesn't have anything else to do with you! Leave me alone, would ya?"

"It does. Everybody here does, I mean, c'mon, who likes to see a wandering troll here? Be mindful, woman!"

"How dare—"

"Hey, I think you're below the belt, cut it out. Will you?" Her date interferes, but Suigetsu ignores his plea.

"See, woman, even he agrees." Although, he reconsiders some of those words.

"Didn't you just heard what I—"

He immediately slips off his leather jacket, and tosses it to her. "Wear that! You look stupid wearing that dress! It doesn't suit you!"

He couldn't find the answer. He just moves.

Naruto watches amidst the confrontation, instantly catching the small, barely—(if it is still right to even describe that on their situation)—noticeable between-the-lines language.

Suigetsu hardly glance over again, when he exits the scene. She didn't say a word, and he didn't think he would ever want to hear it if ever she does. All that ever runs through his head is that how equally similar what he felt were right now to when he watched her get confessed to on that day—that the same thing when something precious to him fell.

He wasn't able to catch his heart from the process of falling.

/-o-/

Two weeks passed since that incident. The days seem to drag on, and it feels like it has been a very, very long time already since they last talk. Well, indeed, it has really been a long time already if he also recounts the time where she constantly ignores him prior to that infamous date she had.

But Suigetsu has been really doing his best to ignore the stupid feeling he had realized but never will admit. He has been spending most of his time with Ino, at least. After all, she is his ideal girl, right?

"Oh, Suigetsu?" Ino. "It's very unlikely of you to be here." Somehow, he couldn't find himself to agree on his idea.

"Oh? Hm. What's up?"

"Nothing, I'm actually waiting for Sakura here."

"Oh?"

She leans down. "The view from the rooftop has always been my favourite."

"Really? Me too—"

"You know, I've been really good at reading people's mind, and I say, it is very unlikely of you to be here. Don't you hate melancholic places?" Who says he's sad? Of course, he isn't. He is just tired. It seems as though that is the perfect word to describe himself these past few days.

"Who told you that?"

And, to be franked, he doesn't want to deal with this talk.

"Karin." He quickly refers his attention to her. Quick but subtle, as he doesn't want to be seen as desperate as he is trying to resist to. "Have you guys talked already? Both of you have been doing a great job of ignoring each other. It's quite impressive, but actually stupid."

Well, he's just giving back the favour, he tells himself that. If she won't talk to him, then he won't either. It's not like she cares anywhere near like he does, too. He won't anymore pester her like he usually does, as there are much, much better things to shift your attention to than to her.

It is pride over matter. But of course, it's not like he had admitted himself into a defeat already. He won't do that.

"Although, I s'ppose she's been doing good. And you, on the contrary, isn't."

"Pfft. Good at ruining someone else's life? I send my regards to that dude. He's too busy putting himself in a damned-hole." He still sounded bitter, but he refused to swallow that stupid thought. He is basically telling an honest opinion, and it may sound absurd and derisive, but he won't, and never in a chance, consider it bitter at all.

"You wish it was you? Aren't you?"

He hasn't even made a rational comeback to deny what he actually felt when she hits the bull's eye, as Sakura calls out for Ino.

"Ino! There you are, I've been looking for you! I thought we're gonna meet up in the field? Oh. Hi Suigetsu!"

"Yes, I didn't forget." She walks to Sakura, as though she hadn't lectured someone.

"Geez. We're you guys talking?"

This isn't his thing at all, he didn't like to be lectured.

But just as he thought that he could already get away with it, as both girls are about to head out, Ino glances over. Slyly, she spills. "Oh, another thing, Naruto says Karin hasn't given a proper answer to her suitor yet. I think she's hesitating or something." She shrugs, the bit of her words, and knowingly sound of her voice knows what's up.

She looks at him, smilingly. "I don't know, I just think that might ease you down. See ya around, Mr. Denial!"

He just find himself staring blankly on the space, and even though he isn't focused as he was before. He heard them conversing along the lines of lighting up that infinitesimal hope he has within.

"What was that for?"

"For our friend maybe, who knows."

A door shut, and a sigh. And somehow, he gradually finds himself smiling. "Who says I need some help?" He tells himself.

/-o-/

The walk from school to home takes longer than it usually does everyday. He insists the day isn't gloomy like he is right now. It is just a very, very long day. Literally. Maybe because he is too caught up on what he just caught a while ago. At this rate, he might as well give in to his own pride, and accept that he is just really... empty.

And jealous.

Maybe if he goes along with the flow, just maybe, her smiles or scowls she usually gives to him might be worth the sacrifice. He almost wants to agree, it might not cost him much in return, too, right? "Stupid! Of course, it would!" He kicks off his shoes, as he slides down the door. "I'm home."

"Ah, right on time, Su—"

"Ahhh?" One second, he was mouing, the second, he just didn't know what to do. "Why the hell are you here?" He puts aside his mother's endless scolding—too caught up on the red-headed girl sitting on their sofa.

"Suigetsu! What are you blabbering? Karin has been waiting for you! Look at the time, it's late. Where have you been sneaking out, huh? She's 'bout to go home, you apparently wasted her time waiting for your indolent bum to even go home! Walk her home as a payment!"

He narrows his eyes, annoyed. "You waited for me all this time just to order me to walk her home? What kind of twisted mind was that? Man, I just got home."

Karin didn't put it past him, of course, she still thinks that he is still in his best drama queen attitude. "Don't worry, I can manage." She gives him a sidelong glance in return.

"See? She is perfectly capable of sending herself home. Pfft, have you forgotten that she is a violent type?" He mocks derisively. And something tells him that it just feels right, till he gets a swat on the head by his mom.

"Ow! Why did you do that for?"

"Stupid! Where did your chivalry go? What a disgrace, I didn't raise an idiot!"

She smirks, muttering darkly underneath her breath. "I don't think he ever had one."

He glances at her. "I heard that one, hag."

She practically rolls her eyes at the familiar nickname, as she tugs his sleeve to drag him out along with herself. "That was kinda the point. Let's just go. C'mon, you're being difficult."

She looks over her shoulder to Suigetsu's mom. "Thanks for having me, auntie."

"Sure, sweetheart. Come and visit again, okay? And make sure that idiot sees you off to your home." Karin just laughs it off.

"Sweetheart, pfft. Who dares to call you that?" He halfheartedly teases, as he tidies up his pulled down sleeve, somewhat avoiding her subtle glances she throws at him. For some reason, diverting his gaze and trying hard not to get affected by this stupid situation doesn't make this timing any less awkward.

At least for his part. Shit! What the hell is wrong with me?

"How come you never become sweet as your mom, stupid?" She walks pass him. The rhythm of their stroll didn't come one after another.

He watches from behind, her back is composed, and nonchalant. He merely shrugs, putting his hands behind his head. Somewhere in between, this action has always serves to infuriate her even more, but this time around she just seems... unconcerned. And he, instead, becomes pathetic for countlessly telling himself to be apathetic.

"Well, how would you know, when you're too busy spending time with someone." He instantly directs his focus afar, when he sees her looking at him.

"Asshole, what's that supposed to mean?" He could feel her indignant look boring a hole on him. And, he just wants to beat himself for being openly transparent from his choice of words.

"I meant was, it doesn't have anything else to do with you."

She flinches, seems to be taken aback.

He pauses, glances down at her. She was scowling. "What?"

"It was nothing! Here," She swiftly swings her shoulder bag at front to get something, and shoves it to him. He catches it before it falls the ground. "—I came to stop by to give you this! But I should've known that you're not at home yet. You are so irrational! You insulted my looks and left this disgusting leather jacket to me! Do you know how much it burdens me to carry this thing, asshole?"

"Wow, it took you this long to give this back to me?"

She avoids his impossible look. "Well, because I washed it."

Suigetsu, who couldn't resist anymore, bursts out laughing. He teasingly smirks at her almost crimson red face. "Did you wear it? It smells just like your perfume."

"D-don't be absurd! Who would do such thing? That's disgusting! Just feel fortunate, I even take time to wash it for you, stupid!"

Suigetsu rolls his eyes, taking no regard at almost everything she blurts out. "Whatever. Why didn't you give it back to me while we were at school? Less hassle." Or do you just miss me? He internally slaps himself for thinking that.

"Because, I was busy a while ago."

If he were being honest, he would've said that he knew what had occurred a while ago. He was there for crying out loud. And, he absolutely knew without doubt that this red-headed chic had already gave her answer. Tch. At least, that was what he caught. But because he is the infamous Suigetsu, he will not tell it out loud. He just nods, silently cursing himself for trying to act tough.

"Hey?" Karin calls out. He looks down at her. "Are you really going to see me off? You've never gone this far."

He shrugs off, easing the unexpected tears that form at the brink of his eyes when the event a while ago recreates in his mind over and over again. He curses. The least thing he should be doing is to cry in front of the woman who had gone on her merry way to have a boyfriend.

For a moment, the silence between them is so deafening. It just seems to grow louder with each second that pass. It's just so unusual, and both of them are eager to break it.

"I—" they said in unison.

"Ladies first. So, I'll go ahead."

He snorts. She glares. "I rejected him a while ago."

Taken by complete surprise, his breathe hitches.

"He is such a good boy to be true. He always brings me to a date, always gives me a bouquet of daffodils. But I still think something is missing." She pauses halfway, contemplating. He doesn't know why his inside suddenly churns up, or why his chest feels that huge leap inside.

Shit.

"He wasn't annoying unlike you. And he doesn't know how to swim unlike you. I think I wouldn't last long with him. He is just so... boring... If this thing continues, I think I am better off talking with Jūgo or... you..."

The last word was incomprehensible. He couldn't think straight, but somehow he just didn't want this to end.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because you're stupid. Anyway, I'll go ahead from here."

Unconsciously, he raises his hand to bid. "Take... care then."

Karin snorts. "Shit for brains, what the heck is with you?"

He instantly snatches his arm down, blushing furiously from the embarrassment. He never says those words as sincere as what he had just said right now. What is wrong with him? He has lost of breath.

They weren't official. They are not dating. They didn't. And, never will they. She didn't answer him yes. He couldn't think of anything other than her words that kept on replaying in his mind.

He couldn't tell why those words had somehow saved him from the brink of loneliness.

All this time he has been assuming things.

"Should I consider that declaration a good thing, or bad thing?"

"You should chill out sometime a while, you're like Sasuke when jealous—aggressive, possessive and all that shit."

"It is very unlikely of you to be here. Don't you hate melancholic places?"

Their words fleets over. Their voices echoes through his mind over and over again, like it demands something in return. Ever since that day she receives the letter, everything about them changes—feelings grew, and realizations came into the picture. Ever since that day, nothing ever really matter at all already.

His mind was blank, but deep down he knew that there is just one person who has been occupying his mind.

He couldn't possibly go back now; now, that he already realized her worth.

"You wish it was you? Aren't you?"

I badly wish it was me. I want to be the only reason why she smiles.

He chases after her. "Karin!"

She looks over, unfazed. "Huh? Suigetsu?"

"I..." He ventilates. His gaze not tearing apart. "Just want to say something."

To hell all these unfolded possibilities. I can't let this pass, I've rolled the dice. I am certain she will think this as just a joke, but I will say it to her again, and again. I will even write her a love letter if I had to. Even if it takes forever. I will prove it to her.

I can't let anyone steal her away from me again.

After one second, whether this will have a happy ending or not, I'll just have to see.

All I know is that her mind will be filled with the thoughts of me.

"Karin..."

Even idiots have their limits.

A hesitant; "I..."

/-o-/

fin.


Author's Note: (This is kind of longer than it supposed to be.)

Hi, it has been a while. And, no, I'm not yet finish with this SuiKarin fics. In fact, I have tons of fics about them. I told you so I like this couple so much, I need a manga just for them. Anyway, thanks for the favorites and follows. I know this ship has a very, very few onboard. So, I sort of expected this. But for anyone who had stopped by, your reviews are very much appreciated. Thanks a bunch.

Love, ami.
