@sakukarinweek – Day 1 Healing/Touch

Sometimes, Sakura will activate her byakugou when kissing Karin. It’s a reminder of what she can do, of how she won’t ever need to use Karin’s abilities for herself. She won’t ever hurt Karin.

And maybe Tsunade would disapprove and say it’s a waste of jutsu but –

(Karin stares at the glowing marks on Sakura’s body, and she breathes more easily. She is not needed, and as such she is free. Sakura’s kisses won’t hurt her. That knowledge is healing, in a way.)
