"You were pretty good back there. Didn't know you had it in you." Riko said, dusting off the dirt on her arm.

"Whatever." Sasuke looked the other way.

"We could do it again someday. I'll show what I really can do." Riko glared at Sasuke.

"I can still crush you, anyday." Sasuke smirked.

"It doesn't look like it when I beat you back there. You let a girl beat you. I wonder how you could be the best." Riko looked straight at Sakura.

"I just got distracted." Sasuke rolled his eyes.

"Will you two stop fighting?" Sakura yelled and everyone looked at her.

Sigh, "We're here. Oh, hey Naruto." Kakashi took a seat next to Naruto. Sakura sat on the end while Riko and Sasuke fought over a seat.

"Move over, I was here first!" Riko demanded.

"Never! You saw me get here first!" Sasuke raised his voice.

"Will you two get a hold of yourself?" Kakashi lifted both Uchiha members with ease. The two folded their arms and mumbled under their breath.

"Riko, you sit by Naruto and Sasuke, you sit by Sakura and I'll take this seat, okay?" Kakashi scooted over 1 seat.

As Naruto ate or gulped down his ramen, he noticed Riko and he fantasized about her at that very moment. She noticed him staring at her.

"Do I have something on my face?" Riko ran her fingers gently across her face.

"You're an angel." Naruto didn't even notice what he was saying until Riko looked at him funny.

"Take a picture! It will last longer." Riko rolled her eyes in disgust.

"Now, now, Naruto means no harm. Riko as you know this is Naruto and Naruto, this is Riko. She will be on our team." Kakashi started to eat his ramen so fast that no one could see his face.

Sakura almost choked on her ramen. She coughed a little and then glared at Kakashi.

"You didn't tell me she was going to be on our team!"

"Deal with it." Riko ate her ramen.

"Looks like I have a new rival." Sasuke smiled then ate his ramen.

'Darn that Riko! I can see she is trying to make Sasuke leave this team! With her techniques and all that! I could just smack her right now!' Sakura thought as she chewed her ramen.

"Well, training is over for today. Sakura, I want you to show Riko around town." With that, Kakashi left in a spin.

Sakura was getting even madder with her showing that 'thing', as Sakura would call her, around Konoha. Sakura finished her ramen and waited for Riko outside.

"I'm done. Nice to meet you, Naruto. See ya tomorrow, Sasuke" Riko waved as she met up with Sakura.

"Can we go? I'm tired of looking at this little area." Riko folded her arms and sighed constantly.

"Ok.." 'Put on a smile Sakura..SMILE!' Sakura forced herself to put on a crooked smile.

"Where are we going first?"

"I'll show you the Genin Academy first." Sakura kept looking into the sky.

Sakura pointed to other things on the way. They soon bumped into Shikamaru.

Riko was bumped to the ground.

"Ouch." Riko said as she rubbed her head.

"I'm so sorry." Shikamaru didn't even notice that he had bumped Sakura down, too. He helped Riko off the ground.

"It's okay. I'm new. I'm Riko." Riko said, looking a little dizzy.

"I'm Shikamaru." He was still holding her hand. He was gazing into her eyes like something was about to happen.

"You can let go of my hand now." Riko tugged her hand away.

"Hello! I'm still on the ground!" Sakura said, after noticing Shikamaru gazing into Riko's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Sakura. It's just that your friend is so beautiful." Shikamaru tried to help Sakura up but he kept glancing at Riko.

"Um… Thanks?" Riko said in a confused voice.

"Thanks for the help, Shikamaru but I can get up on my own."

"Where are you two going?" Shikamaru asked a little bit after they started to trail off.

"We're going to the Genin Academy." Sakura called, without turning around.

"Okay! Nice meeting you, Riko!" Shikamaru called back.

All Riko was wave back.

"What a girl." Shikamaru whispered to himself before heading eastward to Asuma-sensei's house for training.

The two girls walked in silence. Every once in a while, Sakura glanced at Riko, but Riko never noticed. Sakura gave up and asked the question that was tearing through her mind.

"Why are you trying to steal Sasuke away from me?" Sakura closed her eyes, put her head down, and clenched her fists.

"What? Where did you get that from? I do not like Sasuke. He maybe from my clan but I don't like him. He's good at gen and ninjutsu but that's all. How could you ask that? Don't tell me-" Riko's eyes grew big and her mouth made a circled smile because her mouth went open.

"Yes, I like him."

"I don't like him and that's final. I think this is the academy. It's says it in big letters." Riko pointed up.

"Yup. I want you to meet someone here too. Hey! Ino!"

A/N: Uh oh. How will Ino take it if Riko is from the same clan as Sasuke and she thinks that she likes him and he likes her? (Pants) That was long! What will Riko do? Reviews! Thank you crazednarutogirl for the review!
