Temporary

Chapter 19

Karin POV

The wall was grey and only a small window for the wind struggling to come in and out.

'Where...am I?'

I asked to myself. I was confused as I stared to my surrounding. Looks like i'm trapped in a corner.

'Something is odd.' I began to feel something familiar but couldn't put my hand into it.

'This place felt...familiar.'

All of a sudden, I began to feel uncomfortable. There was sadness, sorrow, anger, fear and tension building in me.

'Why am I feeling like this and what am I doing in a place like this?'

I stared at myself, I looked like i'm in my teenage. Probably about 13 years old. My eyes widened as I caught a few bite marks at my both hands. I gasped in surprise.

Suddenly I felt the world was spinning and i'm losing myself.

And all I see was darkness.

Karin POV end

It was past midnight at the cave. Sounds of owl was lingering in that area and seemed peaceful.

Three silhouette can be seen inside the cave. One of them was awake and his only visible onyx eyes was looking at the lying redheaded woman.

Sasuke POV

Karin Uzumaki...

I watch her figure in front of me.

This reckless woman, I just couldn't believe how you become the person you are right now, Karin. The bad thing is, you've put me in a difficult place.

I have wife in Konoha, and I know she's pregnant as you are. She loved me since we were a child and i'm really thankful to her for that. I'm also well aware that I have that affection for her.

I closed my eyes.

Karin...

Since the first day I met you with Orochimaru. I don't care at all about anything but my goals to kill nii-san.

We've become closer when we were chasing Suigetsu. I recognize your ability and your quite annoying attitude. But, I know that was just to cover your true self. I'm not sure how I know, it just came out naturally.

You were a bit like Sakura when we were in team 7. Annoying and talkative. I'd say the second was remembering me of Naruto. But, you also act tough.

And you use to be planning to be with me all the time. I snorted at that. You make yourself look like stupid and idiot with that attitude.

Tsundere Karin.

You know, you just don't know how to express your feeling properly. You're actually an introvert girl.

If I knew you were being abused and tortured since you're child and if I met you when I don't have bad intention, I would've help you.

But, I didn't know anything about you back then and i've been careless all the time.

I shook my head a bit, getting emotion that was not suppose to be. It'll be really crazy to say that I actually needed her in my life.

I'm an idiot.

We both married, and she love her husband more than her life. Thats a fact that I couldn't change. She's different now. Yeah, different.

I stop myself from thinking further about her and try to overcome myself.
