Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto but I do own Reiko and my made up characters.

This is my first fan fic so please r&r okay! Great!

Still at Ichiraku Ramen…

"What's wrong with Reiko?" asked Neji.

"Urgh, it's because of you guys," remanded Sakura, "She's just a new kunoichi okay, so what if she's another Uchiha…Stop whispering about her, maybe she hates it,"

"What if she likes Sasuke too, Sakura," teased Ino, "She's going to be another rival,"

Ino's right, what if Reiko-chan likes Sasuke too! It'll be harder to win his heart! Sakura thought in panic. I will not let her! Growled Inner Sakura angrily.

"Neji, you should've been more polite, you look like a snob just now," scolded Tenten.

"My behavior is none of your business, girl," snapped Neji.

"How dare you talk to me like that, Hyuuga Ne…" growled Tenten as she cracked her knuckles.

"Stop fighting lovebirds," muttered Lee.

Uh oh everybody thought.

"Whaaat!" Neji and Tenten turned to look at Lee.

"Er..er.. I didn't say anything!" stuttered Lee as he cowered from the towering Neji and Tenten.

Neji activated his Byakuugan and started kicking Lee all over the place while Tenten dug into her weapon bag and started throwing shurikens, kunais and senbons at poor Lee.

"STOP IT.. STOOOOP!" screamed you-know-who.

"Here we go again…" everyone muttered.

Reiko walked down the street towards her home, which was near the Uchiha Clan residence. She was too busy thinking and she accidentally knocked into someone.

"Watch where you're going," she muttered.

"That's supposed to be my line,"

Reiko looked up and saw that she was staring into the eyes of Uchiha Sasuke. She glared at him with the same cold eyes and gritted her teeth.

"Gomen," she said as she started to walk away.

"Wait,"

She felt surprised and stopped on her tracks, "What," She turned to look at him darkly.

"Come on, follow me," the Uchiha boy said and he grabbed Reiko's arm.

"Hey!"

"Just follow me," whispered Sasuke.

"Fine, whatever,"

She doesn't talk much… at least she's not as annoying as Sakura thought Sasuke and he smirked to himself. Reiko noticed his smirk but she didn't say anything, and she felt curious, where is he taking me, wondered Reiko

Sasuke led her into the Uchiha clan residence and made his way through the deserted paths. Reiko shuddered as she looked at the derelict houses and lifeless streets, fragments of memories flashing through her mind.

"Maybe we can go to my house, its nearer," offered Reiko.

"Really? Okay," replied Sasuke.

Reiko quickly walked through some alleys and down the main street, which led to her house. Sasuke glanced at it, and went inside, followed closely by Reiko.

It was a small and gloomy-looking house, and Reiko did not want to waste time decorating it. It was hard living alone without her family, but she soon got used to it, cooking her own meals and tidying up her room. Sasuke looked around the house and settled on the tiny living room, and Reiko sat down on the chair next to him, looking at him warily.

"What is it all about then?" asked Reiko darkly.

"I…I want to know what happened… that day," Sasuke muttered, not looking at Reiko's face.

"You mean…"

"Yes…"

Reiko sighed, and forced herself to continue, "Why do you want to know about this?"

"I need to… I need to understand what happened, so that it makes sense,"

"But…"

"If you don't want to tell me then its okay," said Sasuke, his eyes looking down at the cold floor.

"Is that what you want to know? About what happened that night?"

"Erm.. yeah… but if you don't want to tell me… its fine, I am not forcing you to say it out,"

"Really? Then I won't… I don't like saying it out," whispered Reiko sadly.

"Me too,"

"I should be going now," Sasuke added and he started to walk towards the door.

"Sasuke…" called Reiko.

"Yes?" he replied.

"It's… it's… nice to meet you," she whispered and she quickly looked down.

Sasuke nodded and hid a smile, "I'm glad I met you too, Reiko,"

Reiko looked up at him, but he was already gone. Did he meet Itachi too that night? She thought. Reiko sighed, Its no use thinking about it…

The next day…

Sakura gazed at her watch and sighed, "Kakashi-sensei is so damn late… what kind of sensei is he?"

Naruto nodded his agreement, "Kakashi-sensei maybe overslept, I wish I did too.." he groaned.

Reiko and Sasuke was having a glaring match, paying no attention to the other ninjas.

Finally, after about 20 minutes, they saw Kakashi-sensei walking towards them slowly, with an Icha Icha Paradise book in his hand. .

"I.. am … so… pissed..," growled Sakura and Naruto..

"Hahaha… sorry guys, I am late,"

"Let's just get on with it," muttered Reiko.

"Ah.. Hai, hai.., Alright guys today we'll go to the training grounds to train, and in the meantime I also want to know how good Reiko is, so you guys will spar with her," instructed Kakashi-sensei.

Sasuke smirked and looked at Reiko, who was staring at him with a determined look in her eyes. Lets see how good you are, Uchiha Reiko.. thought Sasuke excitedly.

Reiko stared back at Sasuke with full confidence. "I will beat him," whispered Reiko under her breath. I will! She thought confidently.

Naruto gave a thumbs up to the silver haired sensei. "Yosh! Let's go then! Come on Reiko, let's see how good you are!" boasted Naruto.

"Yes," said Sakura, staring at Reiko and Sasuke as if to see that there is something between them (you know what I mean).

At the Training Grounds

"Alright, Sasuke and Naruto, you guys train your ninjutsu and genjutsu first while Sakura spars with Reiko, when Reiko gets past Sakura.. its Sasuke's turn to spar with her, Naruto won't spar with Reiko, because he might hurt himself, got it?" ordered Kakashi-sensei, oblivious to Naruto's pleads.

"Hai!" everybody answered.

"Good! Now Sakura and Reiko, get ready!"

"Hai, Kakashi-sensei," yelled Sakura.

"Hn…." Reiko nodded.

"Spar!" shouted Kakashi-sensei and he quickly resumed reading his book on a tree.

Sakura took out a kunai and ran straight at Reiko, and she felt frustrated that Reiko was not doing anything, she was merely staring at her with those dark eyes, her body not moving a mere inch.

Sakura aimed and threw the kunai at Reiko. Reiko dodged the kunai with lightning speed and jumped onto a tree branch, throwing shurikens and kunais at Sakura. What the! She's damn fast! Thought Sakura in panic as Reiko jumped from tree branch to tree branch, throwing kunais at her.

Sakura could only dodge the weapons aimed at her, trying to find a chance to attack Reiko. Reiko suddenly stopped throwing kunais and attacked Sakura from the back, raising her leg to kick her.

Sakura sensed her and used a kunai to stab Reiko, half thinking that she had won. But suddenly, Reiko disappeared in a poof of smoke and was gone. "Nani?" shouted Sakura who was shocked. "Kage Bunshin?" she muttered.

Naruto was shocked when he saw the clone Reiko disappear. "It couldn't be.. Kage Bunshin No Jutsu?"

"It is, dork," smirked Sasuke. Seems like Reiko can be a worthy opponent for me, Sasuke thought.

Suddenly, a kunai rested on Sakura's neck and a voice behind her spoke, "Yes, it's Kage Bunshin…" Sakura froze in shock when she heard Reiko's voice behind her. I…I can't sense her! Sakura thought in shock.

She is extremely good at concealing her chakra, Kakashi thought without looking up from his book. She must have mastered it when she was very young…

Reiko used her kunai and stabbed Sakura, but Sakura immediately changed into a log.

"Kawarimi…" muttered Reiko.

Now is the chance, Sakura thought and she jumped down from the tree she was hiding and attacked Reiko from behind.

Reiko smirked and whirled around quickly, catching Sakura's leg in mid-air. "What the!" yelled Sakura. Reiko twisted Sakura's leg and caught her hand, pinning Sakura painfully onto the ground. Sakura struggled to get up, but Reiko restrained her calmly.

"Alright then, u guys put up a great job, especially Reiko," Kakashi said as he jumped down from his tree. "Sasuke, now is your turn to spar with Reiko,"

Sasuke stood facing Reiko, who was brushing dust and dirt off her arms, and put his hands in his pockets, waiting for Kakashi-sensei's signal to start.

"Alright, are you guys ready?" asked Kakashi.

Sasuke and Reiko nodded, both of them impatient for the spar to start.

"Spar!"

What will happen when Sasuke and Reiko fight? I will write it in the next chapter, hehe this is supposed to be a cliffie, but I didn't do it quite effectively sighs

Pls r&r, your reviews are welcome!
