Chapter 2- New Acquaintances

Kayla walked through the streets of Konoha with Rosanna behind her running around looking at everything. Just then Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji came up to them. Rosanna stopped and just stared at them a grin on her face as her favourite character was standing in front of her. All of a sudden Rosanna runs around in a circle screaming, "OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!! ITS……………"

While Rosanna was doing that, Kayla was holding herself back from punching out Ino. 'Wow I hate her she reminds me of the sluts back home. It's probably their mission to watch us. Why did it have to be them? Ugh. I guess I should stop Rosanna before she does something I'll regret.' Kayla grabbed Rosanna by the elbow before she could scream out his name and whacks her up side the head and drops her on the ground. Then kneels down beside her and whispers in her hear. 'Don't say his name they haven't even introduced themselves.'

"Oh whoops, ummm… I guess you could say I'm a little insane and hyper because I just got out of the hospital" she said rubbing the back of her head. Everyone except Kayla sweat dropped. "Hi, I'm Rosanna. Little-miss-violence is Kayla."

Ino stepped for, "Uh, hi I'm Ino, this is Choji," she said pointing to him, "And this is Shikamaru." She said pointing out him as well. "We're here to show you around."

Kayla started to walk away. Rosanna grabs Shikamaru's hand and stars asking him about places to eat while dragging him towards Kayla leave Ino and Choji to run to catch up. As Rosanna is pulling a thoroughly confused Shikamaru behind her, getting further away, Ino jumps over. "We should all stick together, we wouldn't want you two to get separated." She said glaring at Rosanna.

"Do you think I give a damn what you think! I want to walk around with Shika not you, you sas'gay' fan club whore." Rosanna screamed in Ino's face. Then she started to drag an even more confused Shikamaru away but Ino grabbed her wrist. Kayla knew was about to happen and just chuckled to herself. Rosanna twirled around and sent a kick that connected to Ino's face. Ino was shocked and Shikamaru backed away not wanting to get a taste of the angry girls' wrath. Ino started to attack back and any time Ino or Rosanna threw an attack the other girl countered. Kayla found this all very humorous and just watched but she felt eyes on her back and turned around, seeing no one she looked closer and saw a few grains of sand. She smiled and turned back to the fight.

They were on opposite ends of the street. Rosanna had a few cuts and Ino had a lot of bruises. Figuring the fun was over she walked in-between them. She shot a glare at both of them signalling for Rosanna to stop but Rosanna charged at Kayla. Throwing a punch at Kayla for interrupting her fight she swings with all her might. Kayla sighs and dodges the fist and grabbed her elbow. Hitting the right pressure points she threw Rosanna over her shoulder and landed her down by Shikamaru's feet. Looking down she saw that her friend was unconscious; she looked up at Shikamaru. "Take her to the hospital. Now!" she ordered in a deadly voice.

Not wanting to induce the wrath of the scary, silent, girl he was sent to keep an eye on he muttered a quick troublesome and picked her up bridle style jumping to the hospital.

Kayla looked over at Ino giving her another glare scaring her slightly but them Kayla just walked away. Leaving a confused crowd of people. And she thought to herself, 'that felt good, Rosanna has really been ticking me of lately, and for her to start a fight in the middle of the street, but it was Ino so I guess its fine, but she attacked me. That wasn't a very good idea; she knows I'm stronger than her. Hmm. I'll go check on her after I find him.' She smirked as the thought crossed her mind that she felt him looking at her, ' yes, if he's here now that means the fun will start soon'

A few minutes later at the hospital.

Rosanna awoke to find herself again in a big fluffy bed. She looked around and saw Shikamaru sitting in a chair beside her bed. "What are you doing here, don't you have a different mission other than watching me and Kayla", she said not in a mean way but still serious.

Shikamaru looked up and smirked. It wasn't that hard to figure out but from what he had heard and seen she wasn't really that smart. "No." he said casually, "all the jonins had to go to a meeting with the hokage. It's a drag but since no one knows anything about you guys we do have to keep an eye on you."

"Hmm." She was thinking hard. 'If there in the meeting that means that Gaara is here and knowing Kayla she probably realized it. Why else would she have stopped her fight with someone that Kayla herself hates? But that means that she's going to go find him and if that happens who knows what she'll do!' Rosanna was panicking now she needed to get to Kayla before something bad happened.

Shikamaru had watched her face go from deep in thought to panic. He wondered what she was thinking but it was obvious she was worried about something.

Rosanna got out of bed this time making sure she didn't fall on her face again. As she ran to the door she reached for the handle but couldn't move. "What the fucking hell let me go!!" she yelled.

Shikamaru just chuckled, "well I would but since you're in such a hurry I thought I should get some answers. Such a drag but it is a mission after all."

"Ok, one question then let me out of the fucking jutsu!" she practically screamed.

He sighed, "Troublesome woman, ok then tell me how you and that scary girl met?"

She thought for a bit ' Kayla really doesn't like people knowing about her past but I guess I can tell him since its mine and I won't tell anything much about her so she'll have nothing to get mad at.' She smiled at her own cleverness. "ok well my mom volunteered at an orphanage about 4 years ago and that's how we met. No one really paid attention to her but when I saw her I wanted to be her friend. At first she didn't talk to me but I eventually worked down at that. It actually took 2 years just to get her to trust me." Her smile quickly went away as she continued, "but then about a year ago my mom died in a car crash and I had no one left so I ended up being her roommate we've been inseparable ever since." She sighed as she finished and tried to look over at him but the jutsu was still on so she couldn't and she was immediately pissed, "Now will you let me fucking out of this damn jutsu you bastard! A deals a deal so let me out!" she yelled surprising him.

He released it muttering about loudmouthed troublesome women. Rosanna ignored this and ran out the door. She didn't know what Kayla was going to do but she felt that she was going to do something. She ran through the streets getting many weird looks but she ignored them. She caught a sight of pink haired Sakura and blonde haired Naruto. She stopped and looked around them. She saw Konohamaru and his friends and hiding behind a corner she spotted Kayla looking at Temari and Konkuro who were away from the other group talking or more like arguing with each other. She ran up to Kayla who had taken off her black hoodie to reveal a blood-red tank top. Rosanna sat down beside her and heard her chuckle as Naruto, Konohamaru, and his gang started running away from Sakura. "Wanna have some fun?" Kayla said as she grinned evilly, and without an answer she leant over and whispered something in her ear. Rosanna smiled evilly to and nodded. As Konohamaru ran into Konkuro they sneaked behind Temari and Konkuro so as not to be noticed. They got closer and heard Konkuro say, "you're feisty but not for long." And he tightened his grip on Konohamaru's collar. Naruto was getting angry and charged. But Konkuro was toying with him and pulled at his foot with his chakra strings making Naruto fall. Rosanna had to suppress a giggle so that they wouldn't get noticed. "So you're a leaf genin," Konkuro said, "it looks like your village is full of wimps."

Naruto and Konohamaru's team started calling out and Konohamaru said, "Hey, cut it out this hurts!" and Naruto got up and yelled at Konkuro only to be silenced by Sakura. It was all very funny really.

Konkuro just said, "You're annoying… all of you. I don't like runts or any other scrawny weaklings so when a wimp like this starts shooting of his mouth… I just wanna break him in half."

Naruto and Sakura gasped and Konohamaru's team was crying but Temari just got bored and said, "fine I'm not in any of this. Ok."

Konkuro just continued having fun toying with them, "first I'll take care of this little squirt then I'll waist the other one."

He pulled back his fist to hit Konohamaru, Naruto charged, and Sasuke appeared in the tree and threw a rock to disarm the sand genin but Kayla and Rosanna had other plans. They jumped over and Kayla grabbed Konkuro's wrist tightening her grip painfully making him drop the kid. While Rosanna grabbed the rock out of mid air and laughed. Everyone looked shocked at the two girls. "Wow you're right this was fun." Rosanna laughed again. Konkuro gave the short girl a glare but she returned it tenfold making him flinch he only knew one person who could glare like that. But he ripped his hand out of her painful grasp and took Krow off his back. Making an insult that held the words runt, squirt, brat and others like that. That was the one thing Kayla couldn't stand people commenting about her height but she just looked up into the tree on the other side of Sasuke and grinned as she stared into a pair of cyan eyes.

While everyone else heard a deep rasping voice, "Konkuro, back off. You're an embarrassment to our village." Everyone except Kayla and Rosanna gasped staring up at Gaara. Konkuro tried to make random excuses but Gaara silenced him with a glare saying, "Shut up… or I'll kill you." Konkuro started apologizing but Gaara just ignored him and said, "I'm sorry… for any trouble he caused."

That's when Kayla and Gaara looked at each other and locked gazes, neither one of them blinking, talking or breaking their stoic, impassive faces. It went on for minutes and no one dare interrupt. Then he disappeared in a whirl of golden sand and Kayla smiled waiting for him to reappear but what confused her is that she heard Rosanna gasp. That was weird, they both new the trick why should she be surprised. So she turned around only to be face to face with a too close for comfort Gaara. She just looked at him with a blank expression even though her heart was fluttering wildly. Then she heard Rosanna laughing and shot her a glare but unfortunately that just made her laugh more. She sighed and looked back at his cyan eyes and said, "I'm Kayla it's nice to meet you." Kayla felt happy but didn't smile. She was thinking of all the different things that would happen soon.

Gaara didn't know what he was doing or why he was so close but this girl and the one that was laughing seem different in some way that he couldn't pick out.

They were both jerked out of their thoughts by the loudmouthed blonde yelling, "Oh my god she talks!!" both Sakura and Rosanna whacked him over the head and Kayla turned to leave.

"Gaara." Gaara said as Kayla walked. She stopped and looked back and for once in her miserable life she smiled. Not an evil smile or a smirk, but a smile filled with joy and understanding.

"Well Gaara have fun at the chunin exams and don't get into too much trouble." Kayla laughed and started to walk but stopped next to Temari and Konkuro. Both of them had shocked looks on their faces, "I hope we all get to see each other soon." Kayla smirked and looked back at the group to see Sakura explaining to Naruto about the chunin exams, Sasuke had a pissed look on his face, Temari and Konkuro were cowering under their brothers gaze, and Rosanna had a misted look on her face to show that she wasn't paying attention at all. "Gaara," Kayla said with a blank yet understanding look, "I'll see you soon." Then she smirked and turned to Rosanna, "Rosanna," she snapped up and looked around, "come on…"

"Right, hey Kayla we still haven't eaten lets go." Rosanna started whining again.


That's Chapter 2 for you. Then next chapter will have more Rosanna in it and Kayla's past but we're skipping all the way to the second exam.
