For @narutofemslashevent‘s Free Day.
“Oy,” says Karin, stalking up to Tenten on the traininggrounds. “You’re that weapons chick, right?”
Tenten tosses one more kunai, hitting her sixth bullseye ina row, and turns to look at the redhead, brow raised and hands on her hips. “Yes,Karin, I am. I know you know my name.” Even from Naruto’s cousin, she won’t putup with that.
Karin rolls her eyes. “Tenten,” she says. “Will you teach mehow to fight?”
Okay, that stumps her. “You don’t know how?”
The girl’s cheeks darken, and she glances away. “No. They…wanted me for other reasons, in Kusa and Oto. Fighting wasn’t ever really onthe table for me.”

Tenten glances back, a kunai in her teeth, and spits it out.“Yeah, you’re cute. What, you don’t want to? It doesn’t have to be a date, dumplings are just my thinkingfood.”
“No, no, um-“ Karin smiles a little, adjusting her glasses. “Adate’s fine. I’m cool with a date.”
“Awesome,” says Tenten, and she turns back to yanking outher kunai and putting them away.
It’s a few minutes of silence before Karin speaks up. “So…why tarot cards? Those will help you figure out what weapon I should use?”
Tenten laughs. “I’m glad you asked! You see, by looking atthe cards you draw, I can…”
