Pivotal (Sasuke and Hinata)

Move

It has been a month since Sasuke last summoned Hinata. Suigetsu and Juugo kept questioning why and Sasuke just ignore them. Even Karin didn't say anything. 

"Sasuke, it's been long since you last summon Hinata. Why don't you do it?" asked Juugo. 

"How many times do I have to tell you that I won't ever summon her again. From the start, she has been a big nonsense to all of us," said Sasuke. 

"To all of us?? Well you got that wrong, at least I don't feel that way," said Suigetsu. 

"Yeah, me too," Juugo agreed. 

Suddenly Karin snapped and screamed, "What is wrong with you guys?! Can't you see that Sasuke is not going to summon her again, so just get on with that. She not even one of us."

"Oh Karin, you're just jealous because we favor her more than you," said Suigetsu. 

"WHAT?!! Huh! Jealous? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?! Do you think I have the time to be 'jealous' of her?!" argued Karin. 

"Both of you, enough!" said Sasuke. 

It was silence for a few moments before Juugo spoke.

"Then explain Sasuke. We are not that dumb to not notice the situation. You have been...different since you last summon Hinata," said Juugo. 

Sasuke looked at Karin and gesture her to explain to Juugo and Suigetsu. 

"So, long story short, Hinata gave her life to Sasuke and she's in danger," said Suigetsu.

"Don't you understand?! If she dies, Sasuke dies too," said Karin. 

"Don't you think it is much dangerous for her?" said Juugo.

"Why?" asked Sasuke. 

"Well yeah. If what Karin said is true, then her life is in your hand, Sasuke. If you die so that's mean you kill her, right?" said Juugo. 

Sasuke can't argue with that statement. What Juugo said was hit on the spot.

"J-Juugo is right, Sasuke," said Karin in a low voice. "In a situation like us, death is just a step behind. With the Akatsuki chasing us and our status as the rogue ninja won't help us in any way. We might get caught at any time."

Sasuke was speechless. He had thought about this and he knew that there is nothing he can do about it.

"So what now?" asked Suigetsu. 

A sudden movement from Karin makes the others shocked. Everyone was silence before Karin said anything.

"I sense them. The Akatsuki. They are near this place," said Karin. 

"Let's get out from this place first," said Sasuke. 

"What?! Are you trying to kill yourself or something?! This is the only place which is safe from that damn Akatsuki," said Suigetsu. 

"Suigetsu, the Akatsuki is not stupid. They will eventually notice the barrier near this place and of course, they're going destroy it. Like you said,  this is the only safe place for us. So I won't sacrifice this place. It better for us to go before they found us. We still need this house in the future," said Sasuke. 

The three of them agreed and planned for their next move.
