Arikka punched and kicked at the tree, angrily. What did they know? She could be a ninja if she wanted to. Sakura was going to be.
"It's not fair!" She cried and fell to her knees.
"You ok?" Arikka looked up to see two black haired boys walking toward her. She stood up quickly and wiped her eyes.
"I'm fine." The younger boy was her age but she was a full foot shorter than he was. The older boy smiled down at her and knelt down so he was eye level with her.
"You have great strength, would you like to practice with us?" Arikka was shocked by this question and took a step back.
"M-me? Are you serious?"
"Well you don't have to." Arikka shook her head.
"No, I want to." The older boy smiled.
"Great. I'm Itachi Uchiha, and this is my little brother, Sasuke." Sasuke smiled and waved his hand.
"You're Uchiha's?" Arikka's eyes widened. "There's no way I can keep up with you…" She looked down. Itachi shook his head.
"Don't give up so quickly." He stood up. "Now, I want to see how good you are. You two stand and face each other and get ready to fight." Itachi took a few steps back to get out of the way. Sasuke looked at Itachi.
"You're gonna make me fight her? That doesn't really seem fair to her." Arikka glared at him and punched him hard in the shoulder. "OW!" He held his shoulder and glared back at her. Itachi chuckled at the two. They turned and faced each other. Arikka's heart began to race, she had never done anything like this. Only today she had just started punching a tree, and now she had to fight an Uchiha? She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Ok, fight!" Arikka quickly opened her eyes and saw Sasuke running toward her. She quickly moved out of the way and Sasuke ran right passed her. She turned around and kicked him and he fell forward on the ground. Arikka gasped and ran to him.
"Are you ok?" Sasuke glared up at her and threw his hand up to hit her but she jumped back. Sasuke got up and ran at her throwing his fist at her. Arikka quickly held up her hand to block and then Sasuke did a roundhouse kick. Arikka screamed as she lost her balance. She grabbed onto Sasuke's shirt as she fell over and brought him down with her. They lay on the ground for a moment before Arikka burst out laughing. Sasuke started laughing with her. Itachi smiled and walked back over.
"That was great. Would you like to train with us every day?" Arikka's eyes widened.
"Really?" Could I?" She asked happily.
"Of course." Sasuke stood up and held out his hand to help her up. She took his hand and stood up. "Same place tomorrow." Arikka nodded her head and the two boys walked off deeper into the forest.
