Hello dearest readers!

I always liked to read SasuSaku stories though Karin's eyes, specially in a AU situation... I don't find a lot of those out there, so I decided to write my own (:

A little warning: English is not my native language, so please point out any mistakes and I'll do my best to correct it.

Disclaime: Naruto doens't belong to me, but I like to play it with the characters.

You Color My Black and White Days...

Karin was new to the Konoha.

Coursing law as her graduation was more a expectation than a choice, both her parents commands the biggest law firm in the country and she's expected to inherit when they decide to retire. KU was the not her first option but coming from Oto to Konoha was her little way to defiant her parents without being dishonored and still get a little bit of independence.

She would live in the Konoha University dorms (KU for the intimates), which would be awesome if she had her own room. But the little curvier girl, with pearl eyes was silent enough she could ignore her existence. But that would be unladylike and her mother always told that a person greatest weapon was network.

What she did not expect was the same shy little girl, was her cousin 'oh-so-lovely' girlfriend. So when she learned that Hinata was in a long term relationship with her crazy and obnoxious cousin, Naruto, since high school her mind goes blank. How such different personalities made it work was beyond her.

Naruto insisted to introduce her to all his friends so she wouldn't be alone on her firsts days.

She meet the lazy guy who could not hold a conversation with anyone but his chubby best friend. She meet a blond girl - beautiful, but Karin would never admit that to anyone - with long hair and blue eyes, she dated a weird guy that spoke the weirdest things she ever head.

After meeting all those freaks, all she could hope was her classmates were better than Naruto's circus.

She was so wrong, her classmates where worse... Way worse.

The weirdo with white hair, which he swears by is natural but Karin can see the dark roots growing out, is the most annoying human being on earth, Suigetsu cannot keep still or quiet even if his life depended on it. He's as loud and obnoxious as his cousin,

The other is big and intimidating until you start a conversation with him. Juugo is the pacifist between them all and Karin doesn't understands how such a soft-spoken guy can become a lawyer.

She could only conclude that, maybe coming to Konoha was the wrong decision after all.

Everything changed on a Monday morning, when she meet - more like watch - Uchiha Sasuke, the tall, dark and broody guy that was her dumb cousin's best friend, a fact she would only know after her class ended.

She saw him walking inside the classroom, a week later of the start of the semester and sit in the back. When Juugo and Suigetsu arrived, both followed the same path and started to talk around the mysterious guy.

She came to know about his association with his cousin when said blond came crashing into him and picked him up in the door of their last class. "TEEEEEEEME" his scream could wake up the dead. "HOW CAN YOU COME BACK AND DON'T SAY ANYTHING TO ME?!"

"Dobe, let go of me!" he murmured, annoyed, trying to unclasp himself of the blond's grip.

"Naruto-kun," she touched the blonds arm, to gather his attention "I think is best if you let go of Sasuke-kun," looking around everyone in the corridor was watching the stranger interaction going on between the group.

"Oh! Right!" he set up said man on the ground "Sooooo, how was your vacation?" you could hear the little teasing tone in the blonds voice.

"Hm, the usual" Sasuke shrugged and started to walk in the direction of the cafeteria, being followed by the rest.

"Naruto-kun, don't you think you should introduce someone?" Hinata nudged said boy gently.

Listening to this, Karin could only roll her eyes, 'leave Hinata to always be thoughtful'.

"Yeah! Teme!" Naruto grabbed Karin's and Sasuke's arms making them turn to each other, making the rest of the group stop "This is my cousin, Uzumaki Karin" the redhead extended her hand to him and said "Nice to meet you, Sasuke-kun", he simply grabbed and gave a little shake before starting to walk again.

In that moment, Uzumaki Karin vouched that the talk, broody, mysterious man would be hers

After her first semester in KU, Karin could say that first impressions are not always right, Hinata is actually pretty sweet and can make Naruto focus in his studies when needed, she also starts to hangout with Juugo and Suigetsu a lot more outside their classes, even if the last made his personal life objective to annoy her until she hits him so hard he can barely walk.

She can stand most of Naruto's friends, but can never have a straight conversation with Ino without it turning into a serious fight.

Her, Sasuke, Suigetsu and Juugo made a routine to get together and make all essays they need. A lot of essays later, their meetings turns into a study session somewhere: sometimes in a Coffee Shop near KU, or in one of the boys dorm room and afterwards they always hangout with beer and food.

Her crush in Sasuke turns into something more after the first time he drives her home.

They are out with the group after their first test week and decide to go and celebrate. When he announces his leave, she sees a opportunity to make her move.

The drive is mostly quiet besides the song in the radio and Sasuke's answers her ocasional questions, from personal ones like if he's excited to be a uncle, to the newest scandal with the biggest pharmaceutical company in the country.

When he parks in front of her dorm building, she doesn't feel like leaving just yet, specially when she can look at him so closely "So, this is my stop", the only answer she receives is a grunt. Sasuke looked so pretty with darkness covering half of his face, she could look at it for hours to no end.

"I had fun today" she puts a piece of hair behind her ear and tries her best 'i'm innocent' look'.

"Yeah"

"So... Goodnight Sasuke-kun"

"Goodnight"

The redhead leaves the car and goes inside straight to her room. When she's ready for bed, her head on the pillow and almost asleep, she can only think of dark onix eyes and his face under the moonlight 'He must be shy'...
