The soft humming was pathetically weak, but that was just to be expected from a ten-year-old. It didn't lessen in any way the utter astonishment washing over her as she successfully molded the puddy into a crude doll. One of the last to get it, but didn't that just make it more special?

"Ms. Karin oh my gosh, it worked!" she declared, standing and all but jumping in excitement. "Oh! Oh it's like magic!"

Karin chuckled.

"Well, if it's magic, it's magic that came from you; that was your chakra, your energy that did that," she replied.

"Oh my gosh oh my gosh! Can I take it home Ms. Karin? I wanna give to my mom she'll love this!" the pleading look in her eyes suggested it was a longshot. Like this puddy hadn't taken a half hour to make for the entire class, not to mention being impossible to sell. Did the kid really not realize she was saving it from the garbage can?

The excitement she flew out of the room with suggested not; the kid barely even saw him at the door.

Karin couldn't possibly miss him.

"Sasuke! You're visiting me at work now; what a wonderful surprise!" she declared, strutting across the room and standing inappropriately close. He'd stopped fighting her on it. Pushing her back just led to her slowly drifting back up, and telling her to back up usually just got him a coy remark and a fake apology. Besides, he had grown some affection for her over the past few weeks. One that swelled significantly after watching the tender little scene of her mentoring, talking that poor little girl out of her frustrated crying, and guiding her to a personal victory.

"One of Sakura's patients dropped off a bunch of food at the house. I just wanted to warn you since you said you were shopping on the way home," he explained.

"Awww, you didn't come just to see me?" she asked, trailing a hand on his chest in a way that was becoming pleasant. "Did you have any work today?" she asked, distracting him from addressing it and laughing behind her eyes when it worked.

"Just guard duty; they're still not ready for further excavations so… at least a half hundred men got a day off," he half complained. It made him feel like a failure to be doing work other men could easily do. As if he was wasting his time and abilities, like he should really be somewhere else that could use him more. A nagging voice told him that he would be doing that if he was truly trying to redeem himself.

"Well, we all sleep soundly at night knowing we have such a tough guard," she assured. "One so reliable, and strong, and trustworthy and selfless and sexy," the hand trailed up to his neck by the last word. Successfully distracting him from his ridiculous guilt and drawing his attention firmly to her. Was this it? Was she finally going to get the damn kiss she'd earned a week ago?! The one they'd come so close to so many times only for their third roommate to ruin?!

Karin purred softly, even lifting a foot as their lips gently met.

It was an impulse on his end. She had been the one to lean in, grabbing his neck and pulling herself up, but he had plenty of chance to stop her. Sasuke had done as much for most of her advances, recent and otherwise. Increasingly though, he just didn't see the reason to. It was such a small, trivial thing, and it made her happy.

So, soooo happy! It was a relief to him that there was no teasing when it ended. Nothing but a happy, loving look floated in her eyes as she asked her simple question.

"Do you want to walk home together?" her words were soft.

"Sure, let's go," he agreed, turning to leave the simple one-room academy that Karin had commandeered. It was derelict beforehand to be fair, and her teaching the foundations of ninjutsu and medicine for free was a serious boon to the town. She already had at least thirty hours a week of classes, across a variety of ages. Moreover, it was attracting other people to migrate, to come join the town and usually bring a massive cart loaded with supplies they could sell at a profit on the way in.

It had been barely a month, and it seemed like the town was coming back to life already.

Of course, with the literal tons of meat gathered by Sakura in that time period and given out for free, it might have just been that the entire village wasn't hungry anymore. Fletchers, tanners, and all sorts of other crafts were hard at work as they strolled through the town square, heading toward the de facto doctor's office that was their home. Thankfully, a civilian barber had since come to town, so only the direst of emergencies bothered them. Not that those were entirely uncommon, with all the mining and construction work.

Suffice to say, the town was still happy to have them. All sorts of undeserved smiles and praise flew their way as they hurried through the crowded streets and back to the safety of solitude. Karin giggled as he finally followed her in and shut the door.

"You look like you just ran a gauntlet," she teased. "Do you hate people that much?"

"Crowds," he corrected. "Besides, work was exhausting, being on alert for so many hours, and unsummoning all those clones," he defended, raising a hand to rub his temples at the mere memory.

"Want me to rub your head? Or shoulders maybe, or somewhere else even~" she teased, opening his eyes and hardening his gaze.

"Is Sakura going to be back anytime soon?" he asked.

"I doubt it. She had a house call almost an entire days travel from here, and she promised to hunt on the way back. We might not even see her tomorrow," she emphasized, slowly closing in on him. Taking one glacial, silent step after another as she moved back from the coat rack to him at the door. "It can be just a head rub,"

"You don't have to do that," he replied, eventually.

"I want to," she answered immediately. Staring up at him with a pleased, almost victorious grin as he finally walked by and took a seat. Sitting still and doing nothing was all the permission she needed, that with the lack of any protest to her actions. The gentle feel of her soft hands along his temples was divine. Melting away the stress and starting of a headache.

Then she began digging her fingers in harder, massaging him.

That was heaven.

He even released a long, soft sigh as she settled into it. Slowly sinking down his head to his neck, fixing everything that was ever wrong there as well, then digging deep into his shoulders. He was so paralyzed with pleasure that Sasuke could nod off if he just willed it.

Of course, he didn't want to do that.

Rather, there was something he wanted much more. The sound of her breathing, her long hair tickling his back, the way her hands sometimes slipped forward, scratching along his collar and showing him a flicker of the fine, dark red nails that were working his body. It all reminded him of another way she could work his body. Another way she offered to work his body.

He could no longer deny that he wanted her too.

Living in tight confines for a month with two gorgeous women did have some drawbacks. Especially when their work often had them lying around in pajamas, comatose from exhaustion in what time they were here. Not to mention Karin's relentless flirting and the way it got Sakura so jealously flustered.

She'd even 'jokingly' proposed a threesome once or twice.

This was the first time in over a week that it had just been the two of them, alive and alert enough to function. It touched him that Karin was using that time to rub his back. It made him want to do something for her, and he knew exactly what she'd ask for if he was stupid enough to ask.

"Karin?"

"Hm?" she asked, slowing but not stopping her work.

"Would you sit with me a minute, please?" he craned his neck to look at her, to watch her comply as she moved from her knees beside him to a comfortable resting position. She only hummed happily when he immediately closed the distance, kissed her again. He was in no hurry to pull back and didn't want him too. How long they spent holding their faces together while Sasuke perched himself over a single arm she didn't know.

Her soul was on fire, but it felt more like the gentle warmth of a hearth than anything intense.

All the same, she'd never been so happy.

The smile on her face was almost whimsical, like a child, which made it all the more out of place what happened next. Sasuke pulled himself back and sat upright with a small grin of his own. Averting his eyes in that stoic shyness of his made it all too easy for her to tackle, to leap into him and bring them both to the floor with another passionate kiss!

The shock made him open his mouth, and that was an opportunity she sure as hell wouldn't waste. Her humming grew harder and hotter as she moaned into the kiss, relishing in the taste of every inch of mouth that her tongue could reach! When Sasuke groaned back, she knew she had won.

It was just tasty, tasty icing on the cake when his arms slid around her back to hold her and press them tighter together as they made out. Her own hands crawled back up to his head, scratching affectionately before burrying themselves in his thick, inky black hair. God, he really was just the epitome of tall, dark, and handsome!

Sasuke was in love with the sounds she made, the happy, content noises that slipped out between the tight seal of their lips. The way she seemed to drink in his own heavy, manly groans as they got more into it. Though it wasn't until she began grinding her snatch against his thigh that he dared touch her anywhere inappropriate.

Two huge hands clasped down hard on either butt cheek, pressing and kneading the soft flesh as she moaned. As she dry-humped him, desperate for release!

She finally broke the kiss to pull her top overhead, fiddling with her bra as he began to copy her. In a flash, his only shred of clothing was slinking down his legs while he lifted hers to remove her shorts. Those damned ink-black short-shorts that teased him nearly every day of his damn life! It was almost obscene that she wore them to school, and she'd gotten more than one complaint; none paid any mind.

The wisdom of that decision was more clear still as she saw him throw them across the room, almost angrily. He looked back down at her like an animal, an image further with them both being naked. Just two horny, fertile animals~

She squealed like a pig as she fell back down on her, as his cock wettened, grinding against her bare snatch and sandwiched between their bodies! Their kiss had already resumed, but it stopped shortly. Sasuke growled.

"Can I put it in you?"

"Of course you can~" she agreed, sitting up just enough for another wet kiss. "I've only offered it to you a thousand times; honestly, how dense men can be~" with her next kiss, she pulled his face against hers, holding him and not letting go. Sasuke took the message and began to slowly insert himself into her.

His cock, his huge cock slowly sinking into her pussy, spreading her body and filling her soul!

"Ohhhhhhhh fuck. Fuck you are so tight and wet, so goddamn perfect fuck!" he cursed, even pausing their slow joining to breathe deeply. It was almost evil that she decided then to taunt him. That she kept her voice so haughty and hot while she did.

"Sasuke, don't tell me it's your first time!" she asked before falling into giddy laughter. As if she didn't know he had training in seduction, as if she didn't know almost every mission he took on behalf of their old master. Though he did decide to share one new secret with her.

"N-never raw, it's… oh fuck it feels so much better!" he admitted.

"Awwhaha, what a good boy, using a condom at the brothel," she teased, causing him to curse and spasm inside her. Also leading him to dip one hand down to their join, to ramp up her pleasure as much to shut her up as for any other reason. Still, she got one more barb in, her voice growing high and erratic as she hurried it out. "I thought you wanted a clan! You should be cumming in any woman who'll let you! Filling all the girls you can with your thick, virile creampies~"

Not wanting to pop off early because of her exquisite dirty talk, and realizing the only thing he could do to silence her was kiss her, Sasuke put their mouths back together.

Karin purred victoriously again.

It felt so intimate to be held together like this, their torso's smooshed, arms wrapped, his tongue gently poking her mouth! She loved it. She loved it almost as much as the feel of his thick, girthy cock splitting her open; it was like a dream, too good to be true!

Her mind split further as they settled into a steady, comfortable rocking. Her pussy was plundered by his cock, and she couldn't have been happier; the Uchiha stud she'd longed for so long was finally hers! They excitement made her rock up against him, speed their thrusting, the thrill of knowing what they were doing causing them to fuck harder.

Both screamed into the kiss as she came. The clenching of her walls around him, buried as deep as could be, had him bursting whether he wanted to or not, and he certainly did want to. The feeling of masculine satisfaction that burned through him as his seed filled her outweighed any battlefield victory. It left him exhausted and content, too out of it to even respond much to her gentle pecks.

He rested on top of her, still joined inside her, for several minutes before either said a word.

"That was incredible," she mumbled happily.

"You were incredible," he agreed, or argued, or whatever he was thinking in his blissful daze.

"So can I tell Sakura about this, or is this private?" she asked bluntly, immediately bringing him back to full alertness. "A special, sexy secret between just the two of us then?" the way he stiffened was answer enough, so abrupt that it made his giggle again.

"You can do whatever you want, Karin," he said plainly, but with an edge.

"I only ask because you asked if she was home before you let me touch you," she defended cheekily, even as her long, kempt nails raked gently down his muscled back. "I'll keep my mouth shut if you want. Nobody has to know what we do when we're alone together~"

He sighed.

"You know, I really don't mind if you're involved with both of us. Well, that's a lie. I'd rather you weren't, but I'd put up with it," she added.

"Like Sakura would ever agree to that, you know she hates you,"

"Yeah... for whatever it's worth I like her well enough," she told him honestly. "She's a remarkable woman, it's not hard to see why you're interested in her. Hell, I'll pitch the idea if you'd rather,"

"I think you've pitched that idea a couple times already," he replied dryly, trying to be annoyed but failing utterly at it. "She doesn't exactly seem interested when you make your vulgar remarks about it,"

"Flirty jokes about a threesome aren't the same thing as seriously proposing a three-person relationship, Sasuke," she argued, hoping to heaven that he'd agree and let it come up. Hoping so hard precisely because she knew it would never be accepted. In all likelihood, what shred of a possibility was left between him and the Haruno had already ended; she just wanted to push some rocks over the grave.

"Like I said, you can do whatever you want," he eventually argued. "I don't want to tell her; it would hurt her and… Karin I've known her my whole life. She's supported and doted and loved me since I was a kid. I love you, but I love her too, and I think I owe her a real try at a real relationship," he rambled, realizing the words as he said them, as his guard was lowered and he was free to think allowed.

Karin pecked his cheek.

"That's fine. Take her on a date, tell her you love her and that you can see a real future with her. Talk it out; didn't this talk help you get your feelings straight?" she asked, smiling sweetly up at the man as she struggled not to clench her fists and scream.

Sasuke wasn't blind to the displeasure she felt at his reaction, but maybe he underestimated its severity for her efforts.

He kissed her on the mouth.

"I do love you Karin, really," he promised, staring into her eyes until her smile turned genuine.
