Her heart begins racing the moment the car pulls into the airport parking lot. The smell of jet fuel, automobile exhaust, and hot tarmac combine to assault the senses with images of exotic escapes and the kind of freedom that can only come from airports. After sitting on a plane for what seemed like forever she was hungry, tired and irritated as hell. So when her cousin hopped out the car with the shit eating grin he always made, she couldn’t help but slam her foot down on stop of his when he tried to approach her with a hug. He shouted in pain shortly after asking her what was her probably while using the old nickname “Kar” she always hated. Karin frowned and rolled her eyes after seeing the pout Naruto was giving her, there was a little something different about the nearly twenty year old standing in front of her, besides the ugly ass hairdo he was wearing, that she couldn’t put her finger on.
“It’s for living so far away and I told you to stop calling me that.” Car doors opening sounded from behind Naruto catching Karin attention as she looked over Naruto shoulder confirming at one of her thought back on the plane when she wondered if Naruto would come along or with one of his friends. The only thing that was different was that it wasn’t just one of his friends it was-
“Karin, I’d like for you to meet my girlfriend Hinata,“ Girlfriend? Since when did Naruto like anyone else other than the pink haired girl that was standing next to his supposedly “girlfriend”, well, she guessed that was the girl Naruto always ran his mouth about
“And is my best gal pal, Sakura. You know don’t you? The one I’ve been telling you about?” Yeah she knew who Sakura was, well she guessed, and since when does Naruto use the word “gal pal” who the hell is this standing in front of her, this is someone she doesn’t recognized. “And you remember, Sasuke Uchiha, right? He my best friend, the one I brought along to camp with us. He protected you from that boar that had gotten loose on the campsite.”
Yeah, she remembered who he was too, he was always around every time Karin came to visit and honestly she had developed feelings, feelings she wished she never had but couldn’t help but give in too. But at this moment in the age she was in right now, he was the last thing she wanted to at that very moment. Hinata attention turned back to the two girls, Sakura and Hinata, when she saw that they were approaching her.
“It’s nice to finally meet-“
“This is King.” Karin held up the glass case showing where the hairy tarantula was currently resided in during the trip was staring at the two girls with cute beady black eyes. He moved a little to let the two females know that he was alive and could see them as soon as Karin held him up face to face them. Both girls jump back in fear (with even a little squeak coming from Hinata) as Karin tried to hold back the smile of keeping those girls to back off from her. At least she knows she did one thing right and that was to bring King along with her. She caught the look from Naruto telling her to knock it off knowing exactly what she was doing but she just shrugged and answered that she was ready to go.
“Do you want to get something to eat before we head home?” Naruto asked, Karin declined the offer telling him that she would just get something to eat once they arrive home since she would fall asleep in the car. She watched Sasuke carefully who was helping Naruto placed her things in the midnight blue Hybrid SUV.
“Can you also turn on some good music back home? I was on a plane with two crying babies and my phone died three hours into the flight.” Karin asked as she climbed in the car sitting next to Sakura who seated in between her and Sasuke.
“Sure, any kind of song you want to listen to in particular?” Naruto asked plugging his cell into what might have been the AUX cord. She answered with Nicki Minaj but after Sakura complaining and Hinata agreeing with Sakura that she was also sick of listening to the rapper Karin settled with the song he recommended for them to all listen to.
The car as silent as they were leaving the parking lot but once hitting the highway and Naruto handing his phone off to Hinata the song Naruto had set started playing. It wasn’t too much a taste for Karin but it’ll do for her, in the beginning it started off with a cool smooth feeling almost as if the song was made for people who traveled at night that was when the beat of the song switch to something a little more upbeat but still the perfect song to travel at night with, especially in the city full of lights or on the highway. For once since leaving home this is the first time Karin have smiled and it felt good, until she started listening to the lyrics.
Come on, let me kiss that
Ooh, I know you miss that
What’s wrong, let me fix that
Twist that
Baby, tonight’s the night I let you know
Baby, tonight’s the night we lose control
Baby, tonight you need that, tonight believe that
Tonight I’ll be the best you ever ha
If the lyrics wasn’t loud enough then the movement from the corner of her eye as the two next to her were holding hands confirmed that there was also a second couple amongst them and Karin was the fifth wheel, she was starting to feel awkward and also… jealous. The music was turned down low as everyone attention turned to Naruto.
“Oh yeah, Karin, there’s something I have to tell you before we-“
“Can’t you hold it off until tomorrow? I don’t need any more surprised tonight.” She didn’t look up to see his reaction but she could hear a sigh coming from Hinata and laughter coming from Sakura.
“You should have told her ahead of time, idiot.” Sakura smiled earning a meekish laugh from Naruto as Sakura leaned up to hit Naruto lightly Karin made eye contact with Sasuke and she was very proud of herself when she casually looked away the second they made contact towards the window. While Naruto, Sakura and Hinata made conversation about Naruto and his “naive” ways Karin and Sasuke sat back and either listened or was having an inner monologue about not feeling guilty for looking away le person.
“Are you sure you don’t want to know now?” Naruto asked looking into the rearview mirror to making eye contact with his cousin as he sat at a red light after making an exit from the highway. He noticed that she seemed sad but before he could even asked what was wrong she just shook her head and insisted that she just wanted to go home and get King settled before she rested. He and Sakura watched as the red head slouched in her seat with King case rested in her lap getting comfortable for some of her said rest before they arrived home. He left it alone making a right towards Hinata house once the light color changed back to green guessing she was just upset with all the jet lag and questions.
I’m still editing it trying to make it right or whatever. I want to look up more about taking care of tarantula but my fear of spiders is over the top so I’ll ask someone to help me with that. It’s been a minute since writing a SasuKarin fic or a fic period because even though I had ideas I had no way to start it plus there are others I have to rewrite.
I think that’s all I wanted to say….. So tell me what you think.
