"I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over." Adele
Tokyo, Japan
Karin was sitting on the plane and thinking about the collage time. She felt feelings she didn't know they even exist. Why was this happening to her? And why now?
The plane landed way too soon and she wasn't sure if she was ready to meet him again. At the airport was, as usual, crowded. The moment she saw his beautiful face she run to him and hugged him. He was still as handsome as ever and he still smelled nice. How much she missed him... Did he missed her as well?
"Sasuke-kun! I missed you so much!" "It's nice to see you again. I want to introduce you. Karin, this is Sakura, Sakura this is Karin."
Karin looked at the girl and was disgusted when she saw her. She had pink hair. What does Sasuke see in her? He could have every girl he wants, he could have Karin but no, he wants this freak.
"I'm so happy you finally came! Sasuke told me so many things about you!" Sakura said and with that she hugged her fiancé's best friend who had really hard time not to looked disgust.
"Yeah, I'm happy I get to see who stole Sasuks heart."
"Everything is going to be so perfect! I want you to be my maid in honor! I-" Wait. What? Who does she think she is?
"Don't you have a best friend or someone you know more than half an hour?"
"My best friend had an accident, so I have exactly 4 days to make you my new best friend! And I already have the perfect dress for you! You're going to love it!" How can someone be so damn annoying?
"Sasuke told me that your favorite color was red" Ahm, no. I hate red dresses. "All other maids are going to where short brown dresses but you are special, so you will have an unique dress".
"What else did Sasuke told you about me?" "Well, let me think. He said you hate weddings, big formal parties, you don't like romance, that you're not interested in...In love... You're quit the opposite of me." Is that why he chose her? Because she's so different from me?
Sakura kept talking about her luck with Sasuke and I was getting crazy. "He doesn't like to talk, he is moody but he sure can kiss. He makes me feel like I can actually fly, when I close my eyes I see firework, I feel like I don't need anything but him. I love him. When I'm in his arms-" Will you fucking shut up?! I can't hear it anymore. It could be me in his arms. It should be me and not this ugly bitch.
"I know what you mean, dear. Don't you have any plans for today?" Other than babbling about your perfect life with Sasuke!
"Oh no, I forgot! I really need to go to the restaurant to see if they booked everything like we planned. And the flowers! I need to go to Mrs. Yamanaka. And Sasuke wanted me to go with him and his friends on a baseball game. How stupid is this. What should I do? Karin, please help me."
"Well, maybe could I go with Sasuke to the game? I wouldn't mind."
"Really? Thank you so much! You really are a true friend!"And with that she gave her a big bear hug. Karin smiled. The best way to win him over is to win his friend's hearts. It's shouldn't be that hard. Sasuke will see how much fun I can be.

"Man, where's Sakura-chan?" "Naruto for the fifth time, I. don't. know!" Sasuke was starting to get worry about her. She promised she would come even though she didn't like baseball. And she always keeps her promises. So, where is she? And she didn't answer the phone. Did something happen to her?
"Hi guys! How are you? Anybody want some beer?" Karin, dressed in a tight top with large neckline and shorts, asked. She had a tray lined with jars of beer in her hands. It takes so little to make a guy likes you, she smiled.
"Karin, what are you doing here? And where is Sakura?" Sasuke asked. "She had so many things to do for the wedding and she asked me if I could come. So here I am. Guys, I'm Karin. Nice to meet you all."
It went all like Karin planned. Sasuke's friends loved her. She was fun and she made sure she knew some names of the baseball players so they would think she's actually interest in sport. And she was openly flirting with Sasuke who responded just as she wanted. He smiled and even hugged her. And I'm sure he was so jealous when Kiba asked me out. He's felling for me again. And he's felling hard.
After the game they went to a bar and Kiba was her to dance with him. "You can't dance, Karin." Sasuke grinned. "Well Susu-cakes, I have moves you've never seemed before." She said while she wiggled her hips. "Awwww Teme!" The guys cheered her! "Who are you and what have you done with my best friend?" He smirked. "I changed. And you haven't seen me for a while." She smiled one of her beautiful smiles and turned around to dance with Kiba. And she knew he was looking at her.
After a few hours the guys went home and Karin and Sasuke were left alone. They talked about their past, mostly about the past six years when they didn't talk to each other. Just as Karin thought her plan actually worked, he started talking about Sakura. And the way he talked about her made Karin feel sick. How happy he was and so on. He wasn't happy with her. I could see it in his eyes.
"- she let me hold her, even in public, I can hug her whenever I want and when I do she- what?" He asked when she rolled her eyes.
"Nothing. I-" "Oh, I get it. You're still anti-love-thing. You always gets this way when someone say something about love."
"Well I'm not! Look when we...When you and I were..." "Together?" "Yes. When we were together did I..."
"Yes." "Yes what'" She looked in his dark eyes. "You always pulled away when I tried to hug you in public."
Karin quickly forced a smile and said "Well, I've changed. I mean, I'm not the girl I once was."
"Really?" "Yes. It's about being comfortable with the one who loves you. And I'm now." He needs to see that I can give him love. That I'm the one he wants to be love by. It's me he wants, not Sakura. I can't believe I was so fucking stupid!

Sasuke's and Sakura's apartment, Sakura's view
"How was the game? I'm really sorry I couldn't come." Sasuke hugged her and grinned "It was so much fun. Karin was awesome and the guys loved her. Even Neji liked her. We were drinking together and talking,... It was a pretty amazing day. After the game we went into a bar and talked about old times. Did you know she worked for Kishimoto Masashi. I mean, how amazing is that?"
While he was talking his eyes sparkled and a beautiful smile never left his face. Does he still feel something for her? I'm never going to be as good as her, am I? She seems perfect...
Unwanted tears made their way down her beautiful face. "What is it honey?" Sasuke asked concerned "I'm fine, Sasuke-kun. I'm just exhausted. I think I'm going to bed. You' coming?"
"Well, I wanted to go out with Karin... But-" "No it's OK. Just go and have some fun" Sakura said with a forced smile.
Sasuke leaned down and kissed her cheek. He said "I love you" and turned to leave the room. "I love you too, Sasuke-kun." She murmured a "more than anything" but it didn't reach his ears. As soon as he left the apartment she started crying again. She started to doubt in everything.
Does Sasuke really love me? Or am I just a consolation prize? But the question that concerned her most was: was it a mistake to invite Karin?
