This is it. This is the day of the reunion. Reshi grinned widely in what the others would do if they saw her. "Tara, you'll be oh-so furious." She said to herself, while Yumi stared at her weirdly. "Er… Reshi-chan? Are you all right?"

Reshi snapped out of her reverie and smiled. "Sorry, Yumi. Sometimes I just… get really proud of myself!" She strolled towards her bathroom and Yumi could hear the water sprinkling and splashing against the floor.

When Reshi got out, she's in black knickers with a black shirt. The sleeves of the black shirt seems ripped, which made it funky-ish. Damn, I like this look. Hope Tara would like it too. Reshi thought snickering to herself.

She has gloves on her hands, at her right, hiding the henna she has. Yes, she has henna, though others wouldn't notice it that much. (Her gloves are all finger-less.)

She caught her kunai pouch and wrapped it around her thigh. "Yumi, neh, payment's at the bed, and you can eat anything you want at the fridge, just help yourself." Reshi said, even though Yumi's just a maid, she treated her like a best friend.

Yumi nodded with a smile, when Reshi's about to leave she stopped her. "Oh, Reshi-chan!"

Reshi turned. "You need to go to the mansion tomorrow!" Reshi groaned. "All right."

She was about to leave again, when she stopped her again. "And uh, Reshi-chan?"

Reshi turned, no sign of frustration. "Yes?"

Yumi smiled, "be careful." Reshi smiled back with a nod. Yumi's so devoted to the Hare's. Since Yumi was young, her mother had been serving them, so she decided to follow her mother's deeds. Besides… Hare's give you more than you ever wanted. Ten thousand yen a week! God! Still… Reshi's the last Hare, there is.

"Bye, Yumi!" Reshi bid and left.

- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 -

"All right! Our plan's going on smoothly! Now, remember people, this plan is nothing personal!" Tara said, all the ninjas around her nodded. "All right… KiReMi's such a brilliant plan!" Tara grinned as she rubbed her hands together.

"Oh sweet, sweet domination."

Suddenly, Kurenai appeared. "Hey, Tara! I got what you need." Kurenai handed Tara the envelope. Tara laughed menacingly. "Oh yes, yes, yes. Le'me see!"

Tara opened the envelope as she let out a hoot. "OH YEAH!" She cheered, as the others whooped.

There… in the envelope… a picture… of…

Reshi and Kiba…

ON THE SAME BED!… not in a dirty way, all right?

"Ooh, this would go perfectly in the news papers."

- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 -

"Oh, Reshi! I finally found you!" Sakura exclaimed, as she dashed over Reshi's figure. "Come on, the reunion will start any hour now."

"Any hour?" Reshi repeated with a cocked brow, why are they so anxious about it? Reshi shook her head. "Fine, I'll go there, I'm just gonna change."

Sakura smiled and left, leaving Reshi with a grin. That isn't a good sign.

- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 -

Meanwhile, Sasuke's doing the same with Kiba, and Kiba also did was Reshi did. Got it?

Soon, Kiba and Reshi met up. "All right, Sakura had asked me. Come on, let's go!"

Kiba nodded as they head for the place… with… their… casual... clothes.

When they reached their destination, all eyes switched to them.

"RESHI-CHAN! WHAT'S WITH YOUR CLOTHES! YOU'RE NOT ELEGANT AT ALL!" Tara reprimanded, Reshi grinned.

"Why? I figure you had a plan, so why can't I too, neh?" Tara was fuming, then she began to cackle. "good thing, Ino-chan brought her beautifying kit."

Reshi widened her eyes. "Neh?… Oh no, no, no, no! there' no way I'm going to wear that itchy make-up! That's totally disgusting!" Reshi added with a appalled look.

"Hey! Everybody's in make-up here. It won't be fair for Tenten-chan if you don't wear these too." Reshi glanced behind Tara, only to see Tenten in a dress, wearing make-up… and also wearing a very huge scowl. Still, her hair's just in a half-ponytail, because she insisted.

Reshi tried to run away, but she was surrounded! "Deep… Deep… Trouble." She muttered as she closed her eyes shut.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" She screamed.

- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 -

"Did you hear something?" Itachi asked to Kisame.

Kisame shook his head as he continued to eat his sushi. HE'S CANNIBALISM! Bad, Kisame! You're eating your own kind!

- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 -

Back to Konoha…

"Ladies and gentlemen! May we present you our contestants for this day!" A random announcer proclaimed.

Reshi widened her eyes. "What's the meaning of this! This is not a reunion!"

Tara snickered. "Yes, it's not. But it's a contest."

Reshi was about to protest when another random guy pulled her and they're on-stage. She doesn't recognize anybody on the audience… but he still noticed those perverted looks. She's wearing a fitted red dress that ends way above her knees! Her strapped high-heeled sandals wasn't helping either, she was lead by a guy in tux to a table.

She sighed a relief when she saw Kiba. She stood beside him. "What's going on?" She asked; Kiba shook his head in dismay, avoiding to look down on her legs. Unfortunately, he succeeded.

Suddenly, couples were also being called. Neji and Tenten, Sasuke and Sakura, Lee and Tara, Mitoshi and Gaara, even Naruto and Hinata!

Reshi gave Tara a glare, but she just greeted her with a nice gal pose.

- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 -

"Uchiha Sasuke, tell what's the first gift you ever gave to your partner?" The announcer asked, hah! The contest begins. "Chocolates." He answered simply.

The chocolates she gave me actually. But I shared it with her, so I guess it counts. Sasuke thought.

It doesn't count! Sasuke's mind said.

It does! He insisted in his head with a slight scowl.

"Nara Shikamaru, what makes your partner the greatest woman in the whole world?" The announcer asked again.

"She isn't the greate- OW!…" Shikamaru paused when Ino elbowed her. "I mean, she's great because she's caring, kind-hearted, and very loveable!" Shikamaru answered. Ino smiled in content. That was good enough. She thought with a grin.

"Hyuuga Neji, have you ever tried to hurt your partner?"

Neji scowled. Why would I do such thing… oh wait…

"No. I could never do that." He answered.

… Actually I always do. Sometimes she gets careless when we spar… Which makes me think of it, maybe I should remind her to be more careful next time. Neji answered… in his head.

"… Er… Greatest and almighty Gaara of the Sand, what makes you pick your… worthless partner?"

Gaara glared at the announcer, while Mitoshi… well she's kicking his ass already. And yeah, he's sent to the hospital before you even know it. "Humph! Just because Gaara's all powerful and prodigious doesn't mean I'm worthless! That stupid hag." Mitoshi grumbled.

"Good Afternoon, everyone! Today, I would be your announcer… The other… er… Suffered in sore pain… mainly on his butt. But no worries, I'm a lot better than him! He's just junk anyway!" The new broadcaster mused.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 –

All of a sudden, "all the guy contestants, please all kindly stand." The announcer ordered politely, he doesn't want to end up like his 'friend.'

Neji, Kiba, Sasuke, Lee, Gaara, and Naruto stood.

"Please, choose a girl that you want to know more, besides your partners. Ntohing personal, all right?" It was silent for a while, like the guys were thinking, but really they have it all planned!

"RESHI-CHAN WOULD BE MYYY PICK!" Naruto grinned.

"I pick, Reshi!" Sasuke pointed to Reshi.

"I pick, Reshi too!" Neji too?

"Troublesome… Me too, I also pick Reshi!" And Shikamaru?

"YOSH! ME TOO!" Lee yelled.

Gaara nodded.

The girls flamed in fury, except Tara that is. "Wait, wait, girls. This is the plan, right? We need Kiba to be jealous. Now, we don't want the plan to backfire, girls, calm down!"

"I have the feeling that they're not acting, Tara." Ino muttered.

"They are!" Tara tried to calm the girls down. "They're just acting! Come on!"

"RESHI-CHAN, I LOVE YOU!" Whoops, looks like Lee has overdone it. "ALL RIGHT, WHO WANTS TO KILL, RESHI-CHAN!" Tara had gone berserk like the others.

Reshi groaned. "Why am I supposed to be the one punished? Jeez." She mumbled. Dark aura emitting behind the girls felt dangerously deadly. Especially for Mitoshi, damn you just can't piss her off.

Out of the blue, Reshi's eyes went wide. It seems like she saw something that wounded her. All followed the path of her eyes, only to see…

"Panta Rhei…" Reshi muttered. Kiba could clearly see Reshi's hands trembling, he also saw that her eyes are showing definite fear. Nobody has seen her like this before.

But Reshi's not afraid. Nah-ah… Or in fact she is but it's not about her. She's afraid what Panta Rhei had done again now! She hates that smirk of hers.

"Hoshi Hare." She growled, as she climbed the stage. She snapped her fingers and girls appeared behind her.

Without prior notice, Panta Rhei and her group started to attack, Reshi didn't even try to elude the strikes she's receiving! Instead… she just stood there. "I'm… not in the mood to fight." She mumbled, but clear enough for the others to hear.

"Why? Afraid? Come on, I'll steal your boyfriend for this!" Panta Rhei threatened, while at the same time glancing at Kiba.

Reshi laughed. "He's not my boyfriend and besides… You can't even do anything because you're stupid."

"Hah! I can even snatch your boyfriend's swift cat!"

Reshi laughed once again. "He doesn't have a cat, doofus!"

Panta Rhei snarled. Reshi looked around. "Sakura, Ino, Tenten, Hinata, Mitoshi, Tara!" She called, her smirk still on. She said something to them, but nobody heard it, except themselves.

"All right, butt-head. You pick!" Reshi stated towards Panta Rhei. She can clearly see that she's getting furious.

"That white-eyed freak-o!" Panta Rhei smirked, she just love calling names. Whilst, Reshi scowled deeply. Reeeaaalllyyy deep! "Stop calling names, you lunatic. You're the one who appeared to be the extra! You're not welcome here, so stop acting like you're the main character!" Reshi argued.

"You can do this, Hinata-chan! We know you can!" Reshi muttered to Hinata, she gestured Hinata to look back. She did so, and saw Naruto cheering for her.

"GO, GO, GO HINATA-CHAN! WOO HOO!" He cheered, even though the audience is already pleading him to stop. It's piercing their ears.

This battle, can't consist of any major fights. This mêlée is just like sparring… but this stupid girl that Hinata's fighting with is a cheater! She's being wild and harsh!

The girl (Hinata's opponent) was about to stab Hinata with a katana by her back! When… A hand stopped the blade into reaching Hinata's back…

Blood dripped from the hand, holding the sharp razor, isn't like holding a pillow. Trust me, I know.

"N-Naruto-kun!" Hinata's eyes went wide. Naruto's defiant stare had froze the girl (again, the opponent of Hinata). Minutes of silence followed…

"Neh. You stupid, incapable girl! THAT'S AGAINST THE RULES!" Reshi screamed, at Hinata's rival, breaking the silence.

Hinata fainted, due to the fact that Naruto had saved her from her almost-death experience. Naruto caught her before she can even fall flat on her stomach.

Which means… Panta Rhei's group won this time.

"Boo! You bunch of crap-headed cheaters!" Reshi yelled. She cursed under her breath, if they haven't cheated, Hinata might have won. But still… Wow! Hinata-chan can actually beat up that fierce-looking girl. But that worthless cheater… cheated! Dirty Geeky Cheaters. She thought with a frown.

The fights go on. Only people in Reshi's group that won, is Sakura (due to her training with the Hokage), Tenten, and Mitoshi. So, the ones that lost were Hinata, Ino, and Tara.

Now, it's up to Reshi and Panta Rhei. Whoever wins, their group also wins with them. (3 to 3, right?).

So far, Panta Rhei is losing... but then she caught a glimpse of Kiba. She grinned. Panta Rhei sprinted towards Kiba, a kunai in hand. "HOSHI! WATCH THE DEATH OF YOUR BOYFRIEND!" Panta Rhei screamed, as she was about to attack Kiba.

Kiba, on the other hand, was too confused to move. "Kiba! No!" Reshi shrieked… She's not late again.

- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 -

Reshi fell on the floor, a kunai stabbed at her right shoulder. "Reshi!" Kiba called. Yes, Reshi took the attack, for Kiba not to be hurt. She slowly stood up, almost stumbling by just standing up. She stood up with a smirk. "I already told you…" Reshi paused and wiped the blood from her mouth (iA-yOh: She got it a while ago! Sorry, but I have no intention in putting fighting details, since I'm not good at it). "He's not my boyfriend." She added.

"Doofus." She continued, still with that smirk of hers.

Panta Rhei growled. "You… If it weren't for weapons-freak, pinky, and Ms. Toughy, you wouldn't even stand a chance in winning!"

Meanwhile, Neji, Sasuke were fuming with rage!

Weapons-freak! How dare she call Tenten that! She's gonna get beat up to a pulp! Neji thought, already, dark aura molding behind him.

PINKY! For your information, Sakura's hair is so goddess-like! This time, it's Sasuke who had thought of that.

And Gaara… well, you can hear the sand from his gourd, rattling like crazy. For some reason, he hates it when somebody insults somebody who's important for him… wait… IMPORTANT FOR HIM! OH MAH GAWD! Mitoshi's important for Gaara! MITOSHI, HOW'D YOU DO THAT! WHAT'S YOUR SECRET!… Well, even the author doesn't know.

"That sick son of a-…" but before Neji and Sasuke could go wild and vicious, Lee and Kiba have stopped them.

But still… Sasuke had managed to stick a finger up. A certain finger. Bad, Sasuke!

While Neji, he got out a black list from his pocket. He put in BIG, bold LETTERS: PANTA RHEI! With, underlines underneath it.

He hid his list, and sworn that his little death list would soon come to reality. Just you wait you b(censored)! Ooh. Neji's bad too.

In the mean time, Panta Rhei was gonna crack! She threw a shuriken, aiming for her other shoulder. Reshi didn't bother to move, since if she move… whoever's behind her would be the one who's going to get the hit. And that whoever, is none other than Inuzuka Kiba himself.

Reshi fell on the floor with a loud thud! She has gone unconscious due to her loss of blood. Besides… she has already been attacked multiple times a while ago.

"It seems like we won!" Panta Rhei mocked. "I guess we should destroy this whole place up. Hmm… and oh yeah! I should also hurt those kids outside! That would be fun!"

Reshi's eyes bolted open. She slowly stood up, wincing in pain because of her raw wounds.

She walked towards Panta Rhei. "Neh, I'm sure you're thirsty right now. Want something to drink?" Reshi asked with a forced, weak smile.

Panta Rhei grinned. "Sure, what would you recommend?"

"Their punch here is really tasty." Panta Rhei grinned victoriously. Reshi turned… everybody gave her worried looks, she's accepting their loss?

Suddenly, Reshi turned back swiftly with a straight punch. Panta Rhei fell at the floor. "That's for my friends you called names with!"

She punched her once more. "That's for Kiba!"

And then again. "That's to quench your thirst!"

And once more. "This is for me!"

Again? "This is for the children you hurt!"

And for the last time… "AND THIS!" She stood up.. "That last part, I just felt like punching you. It felt good by the way!" Reshi turned with yet another last glare towards her.

"You'll pay for punching me!" Panta Rhei called.

Reshi glanced over her shoulder, and then beamed at her. "If you need to be angry with somebody… hate me. And if you think you're ready… kill me." She mumbled, but clear enough for all to hear.

She left.

- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 -

"It's really nice of Reshi to pay back for us." Tenten smiled, while Neji walked beside her.

"I could've done that for you." Neji muttered.

"What?"

"Nothing."

Sadly, Tenten hadn't heard it… Or did she? Thank you, Neji. Oh wait, she did.

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 –

"Panta Rhei… hmm… My first impression on her is, I hate her. And I stand corrected!" Sakura smiled.

"Well, I don't like her either! That bastard is lucky that I didn't do what Reshi did, or else she would be dead. No, worse than dead." Sasuke said with a growl.

Sakura laughed. "You don't have to do that."

"And why not?" Sasuke asked.

Sakura laughed once again. "I could've done it myself!"

Sasuke smirked. "Well, I'll help you."

Sakura smiled in contentment, she has managed to break the arrogant, cold-hearted bastard that everybody's talking about.

- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 -

"A-A-Arigato for w-walking m-me home, Naruto-kun." Hinata said shyly (She has woken when Reshi's been punching the hell outta Panta Rhei). Naruto grinned, "you're welcome!"

He turned. "Oh, and Naruto-kun!"

Hinata smiled. "Thank you… T-Thank you for supporting me, N-Naruto-kun."

Naruto grinned even more."Ah, it's nothing, Hinata-chan! Besides I love supporting you!"

Because I love you, that's why. Naruto thought, with a smile across his face.

"I-I love you t-too, Naruto-kun." Hinata muttered, as if she read Naruto's mind with ease.

- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 -

"Argh! I could've killed that Panta Rhei if I had the chance! Damn it! If only I could kick her ass, just once! Grr.." Mitoshi grumbled. "I hell want to kick her ass! Even if it kills me, I'll still kick her!"

Suddenly Gaara stopped in his tracks, with a stare towards Mitoshi. "What?" Mitoshi glared. Gaara grinned (iA-yOh: WHOA! MITOSHI'S GREAT! GAARA ACTUALLY SHOWED A GRIN! HOW'D YOU DO THAT!)

"I won't let that happen." Gaara confirmed.

"What! Don't tell me you like her!" Mitoshi asked, Gaara only went silent. I won't let you be killed. If you would be killed, it has to be me who kill you. I'm the only one who gets to kill you! Nobody else! Because… you're mine! Gaara grinned again.

Sometimes, I don't know if Gaara's 'caring' attitude is good or not… but for Mitoshi… I'm sure it is.

- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 -

"Green freak…" Tara repeated, Panta Rhei had called her this; Lee saw her hands really curled to fists. "Punch me." Lee ordered out of the blue. Tara stared at him as if he was Barney with a bikini on.

"Just do it."

Tara punched Lee at the stomach, real hard! She panted with fury… like her anger is eating her, but it seemed to lessen when she punched Lee.

"Wow. I feel better." Lee grinned.

"I always train when I feel mad."

Tara sheepishly smiled. "… I feel like training now."

"Alright! I shall run a hundred laps around Konoha!" Lee said with a hand in the air. Tara merrily laughed. "Yeah, me too!"

"To tell you the truth you punch good." Lee stated, while Tara laughed again. Lee does know how to comfort people.

- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 -

Reshi and Kiba walked together. When suddenly...

"I'm afraid." Reshi blurted out, Kiba stared at her oddly.

"Of what?"

"Of nightmares." Reshi answered. "Every time I see that stupid barracuda, I have nightmares." Suddenly, Kiba noticed Reshi's hair. It has silver shades on it. It looks… like it's shimmering. It looks enthralling.

As Reshi turned, blue meets brown. Wait… blue!

"Hey! Your eyes!"

"What about it?"

"It's blue!" Kiba said, Reshi groaned. "It's one of these nights."

"Wha?"

"Well… every time I remember my past, my eyes would change to blue during night falls. I don't know, but our clan already got it since birth." Reshi explained; she took off her gloves. "See this tattoo?"

Kiba's eyes amplified. The henna looks like it's burning!

"It's like a curse seal…" She said, putting on her gloves again. "It hurts a lot once it does that. If I remember sad memories, a lot of things change. This tattoo, my eyes…"

Wow! Kiba learnt a mystery from Reshi. "It does?"

Reshi nodded. Moments later, Kiba caught her hand and traced the tattoo, but was surprised when he held it, the burning looks was gone. "What'd you do?" Reshi asked. Kiba shook his head. "I don't know."

"The feeling is gone."

Kiba got his hands back to his sides. "Ouch!" Reshi yelped. The burning feeling has emerged, and it stung Reshi like hell. The sudden feeling of it back hurt her, but she got back in her composure.

"How the hell did you do that?" Reshi asked.

Kiba shrugged, "I don't know." He got a closer look, which means they also had a closer proximity. The feeling is gone again… Just then, realization hit Reshi. She stared at him. It can't be… Reshi thought.

"Kiba…" Reshi called, but then she frowned. No, it can't be!

"What?"

Reshi's heart thumped, she shook her head hesitantly. "N-Nothing." Kiba raised a brow, what's with Reshi? He knew something's up.

"Uh," Reshi stared at her tattoo. It's not henna at all, it's a cursed seal!

She stared at it carefully, now she saw it! It wasn't there before but… There at her tattoo… was something scribbled on it. Inuzuka Kiba.

Reshi gasped. God! It's really him!… I-… I love him?

- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 -

A/n: Hah! Bet-cha confused! Heh, you'll find out what's this tattoo is about in later chapters! Thank you… and sorry if this chapter doesn't have much humor in it. I promise that I would include more humor next chapter!

- 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-10 -

Next Chapter: The struggle! Save Kiba?

Reshi stumbled from the mud and weeds at the ground, she kept on falling, but also kept on getting up. "Kiba, just wait for me." Reshi muttered.

Haru and Akamaru stared at Reshi with pity looks. Each whimpering every time she falls. She's feeling weak, and a head ache is throbbing her temples. But she can't be weak now, she needs to save Kiba.

Even though Reshi's feet begged her to stop, even though her arm hurts like hell because a trap had stabbed her, even though she has a head ache, she still struggled to continue.

Finally, they found Kiba in hours of traveling. He was just standing there, oh damn! She was wrong.

Reshi groaned, and then suddenly her vision blurred. She collapsed, due to lack of rest and blood.

Kiba widened his eyes. "RESHI!" He called, while she lie there, unconscious. "Damn, I've... been… tricked…" She managed to mumble and she fell on a deep slumber. "Really? By whom?" Kiba asked.

"(Idiot! Just bring her to the hospital, duh!)" Haru barked, Kiba scowled at the dog, carried Reshi in piggyback style, and dashed off.
