Chapter one

Karin couldn't stand is much more.

How could she feel so useless and stupid?

Sasuke was being the popular guy he always was.

But sadly, he as surrounded by so many girls.

Why was Karin so upset over this?

She was his partner.

And yet, he almost looks like he's enjoying it. All the girls attention.

"Sasuke!"

Then there's those two.

Karin saw a blonde boy and girl with pink hair.

Naruto and Sakura have been Sasuke's child friends. If "friends" is the right word to call them.

She was feeling left out.

Even Jugo was welcomed all around.

"You okay princes?" Spoke a voice behind her.

She glared as she turned.

Suigetsu was the last person she wanted to talk to or see at this point.

She scoffed and ran off.

Running to her favorite place, which was a lake outside the huge castle they all lived in, and sat at the edge of the water.

The first time she came here, Sakura was with Sasuke.

And he was showing her all around his new home.

It wasn't JUST his. It was Jugo and her's too.

Suigetsu was more on his own from the time the war ended.

Karin ran to the lake, just like now, few years ago.

She fell in the lake, and sadly, she didn't want to swim.

Her brain wanted her to not move. But she was screaming and crying for help.

Suigetsu, of all people, had to save her.

"Why would you do that?!" He yelled at her.

Karin couldn't answer. All she did was cry once she had air.

He never told Sasuke what happened.

And she didn't want him to know.

To this day, Suigetsu was every other night, in the castle and then back in the lake.

Naruto made a joke about him being like the little mermaid. Karin wanted to beat him to death for that. But then again, it sounded right.

And that made her the prince who falls in love with him.

Karin hated Suigetsu of all people. And loved Sasuke over all.

But...he didn't like her that way.

She was more of a tool then anything else to him.

But that was all in the far past.

To this present...

"Karin."

He was still kind to her.

"What are you doing out here?"

"Sasuke."

"Go back inside before you get sick. That will be troublesome for all of us." He said.

He cared for her in some way. Or another.

"Alright." She said. Wiping her tears and heading inside.

"You sure you okay?" Suigetsu asked at the door.

Karin glared at him.

"Alright then. See ya." He said. Running to the lake and vanishing in the dark waters.

Karin went to bed looking out her window.

Sasuke and Naruto were talking about something.

Karin only wished she knew what.

She was on her knees by the window. Hoping that it was going to be about her.

One day, she and Sasuke, would be together.
