One day in Konoha Village, there was something new. Someone New. It turned out to be a high school student from Canada, named Vikku Yamamoto. She was visiting her older brother, Rock Lee, who was originally from Canada. Vikku, was moving to Lee's house, since their mother, who was Vikku's guardian, died.
"Hey Sakura!"
Lee said.
"Oh, hi Lee! What's new?"
Sakura was wondering who that girl was Lee was bringing.
"Sakura, this is my younger sister, Vikku Yamamoto. Vikku, this is Sakura Haruno."
"Nice to meet you, Vikku."
Sakura said happily.
"Nice to meet you too. By the way, I love the color of your eyes, they're a beautiful green."
Vikku said.
"Thanks! No one except Lee has said that."
All of a sudden, this boy in a navy blue shirt and white shorts, and a boy in an orange outfit with a beige trim on the collar jumped in from no where. The boy in orange spoke.
"Hey Sakura!! Who's the freak beside Lee that looks similar to him?"
Sakura got mad and said,
"Naruto! Don't make fun of her! She is not a freak! She's Lee's younger sister!"
'Hmm... So his name must be Naruto... I wonder who the other boy is. He looks kind of depressed,'
Vikku thought to herself.
"Sorry about him. He can be a jerk sometimes."
Sakura said apologizing about Naruto's behavior.
"It's okay, I got that all the time in Canada, when my other little brother, Vince always bothered me."
Vikku accepted the apology.
"Lee, you never told us you had a little brother. He must look like you."
Sakura said.
"Actually, it gets quite complicated when it comes to our family. Vikku and I are siblings, but after our mother had Vince, she remarried, right after his birth. I stayed here with our birth father, but Vikku, Vince and our mother moved to Canada. I don't know her step father though."
Lee explained.
"Wait a second, my father is my step father?! No one told me that!"
Vikku exclaimed in confusion.
"You mean they didn't tell you?!"
Lee also said in confusion.
"Oh well. That would explain why I don't have anything in common with him."
Vikku clamed down. Lee asked,
"How is your father anyway?"
Vikku replied.
"Oh, he moved out a couple of years ago, and he never payed child care. We were a little poor for a while, but then Mom died, and Vince wouldn't stop crying. Then we came here."
"How does Vince look? Does he still have my hair?"
Lee wanted to know.
"Mm... You could say that..."
"Hey, Vikku! Lee! Time to come home, it's supper time, and Brandon is here for a couple of weeks too!"
Vince yelled.
"Are you serious?! Brand's here?!"
Brandon popped up,
"Hey Vikku!! Still have GameCube?"
"Hey Brandon!! I can't believe you're here!! Come over here and meet Lee!"
Vikku was happy to see Brandon, her best friend.
"Vikku, Lee, please don't tell me the short, fat guy is your younger brother."
Sakura hoping it wasn't.
"Sorry for the dissapointment, Lee and Sakura."
Vikku apologizing for Vince's buzz-cutted head, and big, round stomach, and height problems.
"Holy crap! Lee, your brother's worse than you! Haha!"
Naruto said laughing, and started to make Vikku laugh out loud too.
"Vincent! What happend to you?! Your hair!"
Lee was shocked to see Vincent's nice, black bowl-cut was gone.
"Yeah, so?"
Vince said, not caring.
"His hair was so thick, that when he got lice, they had to shave it off."
Vikku said, trying not to continue laughing like Naruto. The boy in the navy blue shirt smirked, almost like he was going to laugh too.
"Oh, by the way, Vikku, this is Sasuke Uchiha. Sasuke, this is Vic Yamamoto."
Sakura introdouced Sasuke. Vikku held out her hand and expecting a handshake and said,
"Nice to meet you, Sasuke."
"What? You want a handshake?"
Sasuke said, rejecting the handshake.
"Fine I won't give you a handshake." 'What a jerk!'
Vikku thought.
Then, Sasuke thought to himself,
'Sakura said Vikku was a Yamamoto. There are 4 people in the world specifically chosen from the Yamamoto family that have an element they can control. I wonder if she would be one of them. She's... beautiful. I've never seen anyone like her."
After Vikku turned away from Sasuke, he said,
"Hey Vikku. Sakura said you were a Yamamoto. Are you one of the four?"
"Yeah, how'd you know?"
Vikku said, wondering how he knew.
"My mother told me about the Yamamoto family before she died. Which element can you use?"
Sasuke said wondering if she would reply.
"Fire."
Vikku said.
"What are you talking about over there, Vikku?"
Brandon yelled at Vikku.
"Oh, nothing Brand. By the way guys, this is my best friend, Brandon Hyuuga, a lost relative of the Hyuuga clan. Brandon,this is Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto. Sorry Naruto, I don't know what your last name is."
"Uzumaki. I'm Naruto Uzumaki, and don't you forget it! I'll become Hokage one day!"
Naruto said, full of himself.
"Well, Lee, Brandon, we better get home before Dad gets annoyed. See y'all later!"
"See you, Vikku!"
Naruto and Sakura said at the exact same time.
Authors Note #2: Just to keep people up-to-date, this is Konoha in 2008, so everyone is two years older. So, Sasuke is 5'6", Naruto is 5'5", Sakura is 5'3", and they're about 15, and Lee is 5'7" and 16 years old. Vikku is 5'4", and she is also 15. Vincent, is 5'0" and 13 years old, and Brandon is 5'3" and 14 years old.
The next morning, Vikku got up, and since now, she had her own shower in her room, she took a shower there.
'Wow, having my own shower is great! I never had this in Canada!'
Vikku thought. She got out, and got dressed into her usual guy clothing.
"I don't care what other people think of how I dress, I only hung out with guys in Canada and they didn't mind. I think I'll go take my laptop to the pier and work on my story, my site, and listen to music."
Vikku said to herself out loud. She spoke to herself a lot, but her friends though she was crazy, no matter what her attitude was like. They all accepted her anyway. She packed up, and grabbed a water bottle just in case she got thirsty. On her way to the pier, she saw Sasuke leaning against a building wall. She yelled while waving,
"Hey Sasuke! Want to go to the pier with me?"
"Hmm... Sure, I've got nothing better to do."
Sasuke said while he was walking over.
"What's that you're holding?"
"It's my laptop."
Vikku said while showing him.
"Oh, I've never seen one like that. Looks cool."
Sasuke said, trying not to blush, since he didn't know what it was.
"Thanks."
Vikku said while showing him.
'I guess since I was nice to her, she was nice back. She's even more beautiful up close,'
Sasuke thought while looking at her.
Vikku asked what he was looking at.
Sasuke looked away fast.
"Nothing... Just nothing."
"Oh, okay."
'That was close,'
Sasuke thought while he was relieved he looked away fast.
"So, you're from the Uchiha Clan, huh?"
Vikku asked.
"Yeah, what about it?"
Sasuke responded quickly.
"Well, I've heard about the Uchiha Clan being destroyed by Itachi Uchiha. I've also heard there was only him and one of the Uchiha Clan member's that lived. So I guess you're the one who survived, right?"
Vikku said, knowing all about it.
"Yeah, who told you?"
Sasuke said giving her a look wonder how she knew.
"Well, before my mom died, she told me about your clan."
"Oh..."
"Yeah,"
Vikku said, trying not to sound shy.
'Why is it hard to speak to him/her?'
Sasuke and Vikku thought to themselves.
They arrived at the pier and they sat down. Vikku put some music on. The song was called Hate Me by Blue October.
"This song is kind of cool,
Sasuke said.
"Yeah, I heard it on MTV and I downloaded it."
Vikku said.
"For free?"
Sasuke asked.
Vikku replied with
"Yeah, it's still free in Canada. But unfortunatly, I can't get anymore free music."
She said in a sad voice.
"That must really peeve you."
Sasuke said.
"Not really. I have friends in Canada who can e-mail songs I want to me."
Vikku said in a relieved voice.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
"Oh, great! Sigh... Why do so many IM me at one exact time?"
Vikku said smiling.
Sasuke asked,
"How many people are talking to you?"
"About 10."
"Whoa, that must annoy you."
"Yeah, it gets quite bothersome after a while. I'll just sign off."
Vikku said.
Sakura was walking with Ino on the walkway, and she saw Vikku with Sasuke.
"Hey, what's Vikku doing with Sasuke?"
Sakura asked Ino.
"Who's Vikku?"
Ino asked.
"The new girl, Lee's younger sister. She's making Sasuke laugh! No has ever done that! Let's go sneak up and see what they're talking about!"
Ino said in a worried voice,
"Umm, Sakura, I don't think we should. If Sasuke caught us, he would have a spaz attack!"
Authors Note #3: Ino stopped liking Sasuke a long time ago, and now currently going out with Shikamaru.
Vikku sat up and said to Sasuke while holding her hand out to help him up said,
"Well, I got to go now, or Vince, Dad and Lee will freak, not knowing where the hell I am."
"You didn't tell them you were here all day?"
Sasuke asked.
"No. But since it's already 2:00 PM, I have to go for lunch. Then I have to go with Lee somewhere he wanted to show me. Or someone. I forget what he said."
Vikku said in reply.
"Yeah, I've got to go train, so see you later?"
Sasuke said.
Vikku replied,
"Yeah. Oh and by the way..."
Vikku leaned over to Sasuke's ear,
"Sakura and Ino were listening to our whole conversation, in the tree behind me. But don't look at the tree before I leave. See you later."
Sasuke glared at the tree.
Once Vikku left, he yelled out with his back facing the tree,
"Sakura! Ino! What the heck were you doing in the tree this whole time?"
Sakura fell out of the tree in disbelief, then Ino jumped out, and said
"It was her idea Sasuke, she dragged me into this!"
Ino said while pointing to the dead-looking Sakura on the ground.
"I am soo sorry Sasuke! Please don't hate me!!"
Sasuke gave the evil eye to Sakura, and then he said,
"You should really work on your hiding skills. They'd be useless if you were in battle."
"Y-yes Sasuke. I'm sorry Sasuke. Just don't hate me!"
Sakura said, sitting on the ground with dirt on her face.
"Ino, you're not being blamed for something Sakura made you do. Sakura, get out of my sight."
Sasuke said hatefully.
Shikamaru and Choji showed up, while eating chips.
"Hey Ino! Why is Sakura on the ground?" Choji wanted to know. Then Ino ran up to Shikamaru saying, "Oh Shikamaru! Where have you been all day?" Then she hugged him, startling him,
"Whoa Ino. Where have I been? Where have you been? And what happened to Sakura?"
Shikamaru replied.
"Oh, she fell out of the tree while she made me listen to Vikku's and Sasuke's conversation all day."
Ino said in a baby voice. Choji asked,
"Who's Vikku?"
"Yeah, I've never heard of a Vikku here."
Shikamaru also wondered.
"Oh, she's the new girl, I haven't met her either, but I've seen her. She has short black hair, dark brown eyes I think, probably my height, and wears guy's clothing."
Ino said explaining where Vikku resembled.
"'Wears guy's clothing'? The first tomboy in Konoha Village. It's kind of nice having a different type of girl in this town. Hey, Ino, can I meet her?"
Choji asked.
"I don't know her, I've only seen her. Ask Sakura if you can."
Ino said, while still hugging Shikamaru.
Sakura replied to Choji's question,
"Vikku said Lee was showing her to Gai-sensei and Kakashi-sensei today. If we find them, maybe Vikku is there with Lee."
Sasuke said nothing about Lee showing her to Gai and Kakashi. But since Sakura heard, she knew about them.
"Well, let's get going, I'd like to meet her too."
Ino said.
"Okay let's go. You coming Sasuke?"
Sakura asked. Sasuke said nothing, just looking at the water, towards the horizon.
'I guess he isn't coming...'
Sakura thought. They all jumped away, Sakura worried about her relationship with Sasuke. About half an hour of looking, the three of then found Vikku and Lee.
"Hey! Asuma's there also, so is Kurenai."
Choji yelled.
"Yeah, so is Neji, Ten Ten, Kiba and Akamaru, Hinata, and Shino."
Shikamaru replied to Choji's yell.
They got to Lee, and Sakura said,
"Lee, would you introdouce Choji, Shikamaru and Ino?"
"You... Already did, Sakura... Why would he have to again?"
Ino said looking at Sakura in a weird way.
"Nice to meet you all, I'm Vikku Yamamoto,"
Vikku introdouced herself again.
"I'm Ino Yamanaka, this is Shikamaru Nara(my boyfriend), and Choji Akimichi."
'Hmm... so this is the girl with Sakura earlier... She's kind of cool. Sikamaru reminds me of me. So does Choji,'
Vikku thought.
"So Vikku, you like to eat?"
Choji asked.
"Yeah it's my favorite hobby of all time! That's pretty much all I did back in Canada!"
Vikku said, finally finding someone who eats constantly like her.
"Want to go to the Ramen Shop?"
Choji asked.
"How about in like, half an hour? I'll go get my friend Brandon, he's just like me, in almost every way except he's a guy,"
Replied Vikku.
"I have to introdouce you to the rest Vikku. It'll only be five more minutes okay?"
Lee said.
"Vikku, this is Neji Hyuga, Ten Ten, Gai-sensei, the best sensei ever! Kakashi Hatake, Kiba Inuzuka with his dog Akamaru, Hinata Hyuga, and Shino Aburame."
"Akamaru, eh? I love dogs, even though I have two cats,"
Vikku said, looking at Akamaru. Akamaru went up to Vikku, sniffed her, and barked to Kiba saying she was safe. Akamaru went back up to Vikku and jumped up to her. Vikku picked him up, and said,
"He's so cool! I've never met a dog nicer than Akamaru, except for Brand's dog, Riley!"
Vikku said smiling while Akamaru jumped on her head.
"He's never done that to anyone before. He must really like you, he usually only sits on my head."
Kiba said. Then Choji asked,
"You used to live in Canada?"
"Yeah, it was way too cold there. I'm glad we moved here,"
Vikku said happily and relieved.
"'We'?"
Ino asked. Vikku said,
"Yeah me and my little brother. Our mother died and Vince and I moved here with Dad and Lee. Dad's way nicer than Geoff(pronounced "Jeff"), our step-father."
"You mean you're Lee's sister?!"
Ten Ten said in shock,
"Yeah."
Vikku replied.
'Hmm... She's different... Wait a second, Lee said earlier that she was a Yamamoto. I wonder if she's one of those four with the elements...'
Neji thought.
Vikku overheard Ino say to Shikamaru,
"Are we still going to the Konoha Festival together, Shikamaru??"
"Yes, Ino. Don't worry. I wouldn't go there without you."
Shikamaru said in a dull voice.
"There's a Konoha Festival?"
Vikku asked Lee.
"Oh yeah, I forgot all about it. Sakura, would you go to the Festival with me?"
Lee asked Sakura.
"Umm... I'll get back to you Lee."
Sakura said in an unsure voice.
'I wonder if I should go or not.'
Vikku wondered. Sasuke popped up out of nowhere.
"Vikku, come with me. I'll only be five minutes."
Sasuke said.
"Uhh... Okay."
Vikku responded, not knowing what's going on. Sasuke grabbed Vikku's hand and started running while dragging Vikku behind him, while Vikku's trying to catch up.
Sasuke brought her to the pier.
"Vikku, I have to ask you something..."
Sasuke said and continued,
"I've never done this before... But... Will you... Umm... Go to the Festival with me??"
Sasuke ended, wanting to know if she was going to say 'yes' or 'no'. Vikku just stared at him for a couple of minutes.
"Vikku?? Are you okay??"
Sasuke was worried.
"Oh, yeah... Yes! Yes! The answer is yes. I will go to the festival with you."
Vikku replied.
"Are you serious?"
Sasuke said,
"I thought you'd say 'no'."
"Okay well, I have to get back now, so..."
Vikku said. Sasuke interuppted,
"I'll... Uh... Pick you up at your place around 7 o'clock?"
"Yeah, okay, that sounds good."
Vikku said.
"I'm going to head back now, so Lee doesn't worry about where I am."
"Okay, see you tomorrow, Vikku."
"See you, Sasuke."
Vikku headed back. Everyone was wondering what Sasuke wanted with Vikku.
"Oh, he just wanted to ask me some questions."
Vikku replied.
"All this running around has made me tired. I'm going to head back now, okay Lee?"
"Okay, see you at home, Vikku."
On Vikku's way home, she wondered,
'Does Sasuke really like me? He actually asked me out. I wonder if anyone hates me for going with him. I think Sakura likes him. She always looks at Sasuke.'
She kept on wondering when she got home,
'I wonder if he's asking me as a friend or go out with him? He seemed so mean before, but now, he doesn't seem like such a jerk.'
Vikku got to her room and went to sleep. Ten minutes later, she was woken up by a voice yelling,
"Olly olly oxen free!"
Vikku heard when she woke up,
'I know that voice, that's...'
The door bursted in, another voice yelled,
"Vikku!! Wake up!! You missed supper!! What's wrong? Are you sick?"
The first voice was Brandon, the second, Lee, and now, Vince yelled,
"Hey! Stupid-face! It's time to get-"
POW! Vikku hit Vince in the face and knocked him over. He ran away crying.
"Yeah! Take that you stupid idiot! I know it's time to wake up! Now, I'll be down in a couple of minutes okay?"
Vikku said, half asleep, while Brandon and Lee were looking at her, in a weird way.
"Get out of my face! NOW!"
Vikku yelled.
"Vikku!"
Her father yelled.
"What now?!"
"A boy named Sasuke is here, he's waiting for you, and when you get down here, wash the dishes!"
The time now was at least 10:00, Sasuke was still waiting for Vikku.
"I'll put the dishes away fast so we can talk, okay?"
Vikku smiled while asking Sasuke.
"Sure."
Sasuke thought to himself,
'she has my mother's smile. I've never seen a person's smile as close to Mother's than hers.'
Vikku also thought while doing the dishes,
'I wonder what he's doing here. It must be important if it's 10:00 at night.'
When Vikku was done with the dishes, she went stright to Sasuke. She still hasn't brushed her hair since this morning, and it's messy because she just took a nap. Sasuke's face wasn't like it was today. It was a different face Sasuke had on. Even more different than usual.
"Vikku, I have to tell you some-"
Sasuke got interuppted.
"Hello, Vikku. How's life in Konoha? Why did you leave me in Canada?"
'I know that voice, that's...'
Vikku thought and said,
"I'll never join you, Deimian!"
Vikku yelled.
"Oh, don't worry. You will soon enough. My plans never fail. Just like my plan on killing your mother didn't fail either,"
Deimian said.
"You?! Your the one that killed her?! Your own wife?!"
Vikku said loud. Sasuke was standing there in shock.
'Who is that?'
Sasuke thought.
"She's not my wife anymore. I have a new wife,"
"Let me guess. It must be Debbie,"
Vikku knew.
"Why Vikku. You've been paying attention to your life's changes. And who's this? Aww are you trying to protect him? How cute."
Deimian said.
"Well I've got plans in the future for you. See you... Bikutoria."
Deimian dissapeared in a puff of smoke.
"Wh-who was that Vikku? And why did he call you Bikutoria?"
Sasuke said in fear.
"He was nobody important, but we've got to keep our eye out for him. And Bikutoria is my old name, until I canged it to Vikku."
Vikku explained.
"And who was the 'her' he was talking about anyway?"
Sasuke asked.
"That was no one important."
Vikku said, calming Sasuke down.
Vikku asked Sasuke to sit down on the couch with her.
"What did you want to tell me, Sasuke?"
Vikku asked, wondering what he wanted until he got interuppted.
"You know Tsunade, right? Well, she wants all the strongest young geniuses to come to a show tonight at 11:00. She sent me to tell you, you're one of them. I'm going, so is Shikamaru, Choji, Shino, Neji, Sakura, Ino, Kiba, Hinata, Lee, and Naruto. So, are you in?"
"Yeah, sure, sounds cool. At 11, eh? Well, it's 10:30 now. Should we go?"
"Yeah, so we're not late."
Sasuke agreed.
"Dad! I'm going to a meeting with Tsunade."
Vikku yelled at her father.
"Alright. Lee already left, so have a good time."
Vikku and Sasuke left and it took about 15 minutes to get there.
When Sasuke and Vikku got there, everyone else was waiting. Tsunade introdouced everyone and then said,
"We have moved the Konoha Festival to August 25th. Now, we are going to put these shinobi into groups of four. Using what they have for knowledge, strength, stealth and teamwork, they are going into the woods for one week. We shall see who are the strongest, stealthiest, most skillful and have the best teamwork. If one of your comrades die, you shall not weep. Is everyone ready to hear their groups?"
Everyone nodded. Tsunade continued,
"Team one; consists of Shikamaru Nara, Neji Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka and Naruto Uzumaki. Team two; Sasuke Uchiha, Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka and Vikku Yamamoto. Team 3; Shino Aburame, Ten Ten, Rock Lee and Hinata Hyuga. We will supply you all with tents. Anything else, you must get youselves. But if you pack too much, then your team will be slow. Your goal: To find and beat the Jônin. There will be 3 Jônen in the forest. These aren't just regular Jônin, they are very experienced, and have many years of training behind them. Now, your mission starts tomorrow. Now go and pack anything you will need. Meet at 9:00 AM, tomorrow morning at the Leaf's gates. You will be informed with more information tomorrow. Now go, and get a good night's rest. I will see you tomorrow."
Tsunade was finished. Vikku, Sasuke, Ino and Choji all met up outside, and discussed what they will need.
"We'll definitly need food,"
Choji said.
"Yes, but we'll concentrate on what other important things we'll need."
Sasuke said.
"We'll need a leader,"
Vikku said,
"but they have to be someone who's good at leading a team."
Everyone looked at Sasuke. Vikku continued,
"All in favor of Sasuke being leader, raise your hand."
Vikku, Ino, and Choji raised their hands.
"Well, we have a leader. Now all we need is someone who is good at calculating distances by looking."
Vikku suggested. Everyone looked at Vikku. Ino said,
"All in favor of Vikku being calculator, raise your hand."
Ino, Choji, and Sasuke raised their hands."
"Well, that takes care of that."
Ino said.
"Well, that's all we need for sure. Be sure not to pack too much okay everyone?"
Vikku said. They all went their ways to get home. Sasuke walked Vikku home to make sure nothing happend to her.
"Thanks for walking me home, Sasuke."
Vikku said thankfully, while smiling. Sasuke looked at her smile, it was like his mother was right there in front of him.
"No problem, Vikku. See you tomorrow morning."
"See you!"
Vikku said. She shut the door behind her.
"How was your meeting, Vikku?"
Her father asked.
"It went okay. Is Lee home already?"
"Yeah, he's sleeping in his room. Either that or he's training in his room. Why did they want you there any way Vikku?"
Her father wondered why, since she wasn't a ninja.
"Oh, you know when Lee comes to visit us in Canada? Well, he teaches me some of his moves. I think he told Tsunade to bring me to the meeting."
Vikku answered.
"But what if you die?"
Her father was worrying now.
"Well, if I die, I die right?"
Vikku said smiling, and giggling to herself quietly.
"Well, I'm off to bed, dad. Good night."
"Good night, Vikku. Have a good rest tonight."
Her father said, while reading his book.
'I wonder what he's reading. It's probably a horror or something like that.'
Vikku thought,
'I wonder if Lee's sleeping yet. I want to talk to him about the mission.'
While Vikku was walking up the stairs to her bedroom, she thought to herself again,
'I'm so glad I live here with Dad now. I can finally date people and get out. When Mom was alive, she wouldn't let me date until I was 16.'
Vikku smiled when she knocked on Lee's door.
"Who is it?"
Lee shouted.
"Who do ya think?"
Vikku said, still smiling.
"Oh, okay. Come in."
Lee knew who it was now.
"What'd you need Vikku?"
Lee said while doing push ups with heavy weights on his back.
"Well, it's about Sasuke..."
Vikku said, after she crouched next to Lee. She continued,
"I was wondering if... Is Sasuke strong?"
Lee stopped.
"He is pretty strong if you ask me. But that is coming from me. You should ask someone like... Neji, or Kakashi-sensei. Does that help any?"
"Yeah, thanks a lot Lee."
Vikku said, thanking him with a smile. Vikku walked out and shut the door behind her. She walked into her room, about to get ready to change for bed. She got her pajamas out and about to take her shirt off, then, she turned around and it was Deimian.
"Ahh-mph!"
He caught her mouth before she could yell. Deimian said in a happy and calm voice,
"It's nice to see you too, Bikutoria. How are things?"
He chuckled.
"Mph!"
Vikku couldn't speak since her couth was covered by Deimian's hand.
"Just so you don't forget me, I'll leave you a present."
Deimian's other hand touched her forehead.
"This mark is so you can't tell anyone about me. Whenever you say my name, you will get a headache and lose some of your chakra. Farewell, Bikutoria."
Deimian dissapeared.
'That son of a...'
"Vikku! Go to bed, it's 1:00 AM. I'm trying to sleep!"
Brandon yelled at her from the next room.
"Sorry, Brand!" Vikku yelled. She was worried now. She got dressed for bed and went to sleep. She had a nightmare where she told someone about Deimian's mark on her forehead. She was walking down a road right after she told her father, and saw Deimian out of the corner of her eye, and he threw a kunai(knife) at her head. Right before it hit her, she woke up. Vikku was hyperventalating. She got out of bed and got a glass of water downstairs. It surely wasn't quiet, with Lee snoring. There was a knock at the door... Vikku was afraid to open it. But she finally got enough couage to, and it was a relief to Vikku that it was Ino.
"Vikku... Can I come in? I have to tell you somthing..."
"Yeah sure, Ino. Do you want a glass of water or something?"
Vikku asked, wondering what Ino wanted to tell her.
"No, but thanks anyway. It's about Sakura. She's pretty jelous of you hanging out with Sasuke. She wants me to tell you that you'd better back off of my Sasuke or I'll be forced to kill you. That's exactly what she said. And also, she wants me to spy on you. I would never do that to you, but Sakura's always been like that. So what should I tell her?"
Ino explained. Vikku responded,
"Well, there isn't anything going on with Sasuke and I except me going with him to the festival next week. If Sakura's your best friend, she'll understand that you wouldn't spy on another one of your friends. Right?"
Vikku ended with an unsure voice.
"Well, yeah, but you haven't known Sakura as lonhg as I have, and she has a heart that can't stand to lose to someone else. If she wants to kill you bad enough then she'll die trying to."
Ino said.
"Wow... Well, if she wants Sasuke so bad, why doesn't she just ask him out?"
Vikku asked Ino confused.
"She has many, many times. He said no to all of them. She really loves Sasuke, and she's my friend. But so are you, and I can't decide how to work this out."
Ino was worried. Her friendship with Sakura could end if she stayed friends with Vikku.
"Hmm... I have an idea! How about you go to her house tonight, tell her to meet me at the pier at 6:oo AM. I'll get Sasuke. Then she can ask him which one of us he wants, if he wants us at all."
Vikku was proud of herself. She never thinks of these things on her own. Vikku continued,
