His Luna [SasuKarin Werewolf AU]

Chapter Eleven

Karin
He continued to pulled me until we were outside the front door. "Where are we going?" I asked him. He knew my apartment was in the back of the property.

"We have plans," he said with an angry tone to his voice. He led me to his car, opening the passenger side door. He looked at me expectantly.

"Sasuke, I don't understand what's going on. I thought we were going somewhere quiet to talk," I said.

"Talking can wait; we're going somewhere," he said as he picked me up and placed me in the passenger side seat of his car, buckling me in before he closed my door. He got in on the driver's side of the car and pulled out of the parking lot.

After a few minutes of driving, I realized he was headed toward the edge of town, in the direction of the werewolf side of the territory. My stomach immediately dropped, and I could feel the blood draining from my face.

"Can't you just tell me where we're going?"

He sighed. "I know a place. And there won't be other wolves there, I promised. I just can't take the way that guy looks at you."

The way Kabuto looks at me? I couldn't understand what he was thinking. Kabuto probably still thinks of me as some hopeless little girl who cannot get a lawnmower started.

About an year ago...

Oh gosh, this is the worst idea I've had so far. I convinced the old man that we could save money every month if I just cut the grass and took care of the flower beds instead of having a landscaper do it. I convinced him that we could bring the landscaper in every few months instead of every two weeks. But now, I sat her trying to get the mower started with very little luck.

I have read the directions five times, and they still seemed like a foreign language to me. I sat down in the grass, frustrated with myself. Maybe I could get Ino to call her husband to come over and help me. Surely, he knew how to start a lawnmower.

"You look like you might need some help, miss," said a voice behind me.

I turned to see a man no more than 30 standing behind me. He had a friendly face and a muscular build but definitely not the size of a werewolf.

"I wa just contemplating that myself, actually," I said, getting up from the ground. I stuck out my hand, "Hi, I'm Karin. I'm not sure."

"Well, probably not, seeing as I just moved to town. Someone over at the store mentioned lunch at the Inn is to die for."

"Well, I don't know about dying for it, but it is worth a try!" I said with a smile.

"Well, in that case, I have a proposition for you, " he said. "How about you join me for some delicious lunch at this Inn and then I'll help you do whatever it is you're trying to do with this lawnmower. What do you say?"

"Sounds like a plan. Follow me; I'll get us the best table," I told him. I took him inside and sat him by one of our windows with a view of the back patio. I told him I'd be right back and went into the kitchen.

I washed up at the kitchen sink and told Ino to make sure to bring me out two specials to my table. I went back out and joined him at the table.

"So, Miss. Karin, what is a pretty young lady like you doing trying to push her lawnmower around?" He asked me.

"Well, I work here. And I may have convinced the owner that we could save a little bit of money if I were to take care of the lawn sometimes."

"Well, that's awful nice of you. But it didn't look like you were getting very far."
