The Chinese-blooded Ninja

Reiji: Yo! Kochira Reiji. To know the heart throb of Konohagakure, read this.

Sasuke: The heart throb is me. You're second.

Reiji: No I am!

Sasuke: I am!

Neji: Stop this nonsense and get on with the story, Reiji.

"But, mom!" "No 'buts'. That's your father's decision. Mei Li will live in this house from now on," Oka-san said. Mei Li rode at my back, "Reiji-kun will agree!" Oka-san left me alone with Mei Li, the person who I hate most. She said she always wanted me to be her husband. And now, that freakin' dream is beginning to come true. My parents and hers agreed to arrange our wedding when we reach the age of twenty-five. This is not according to my favor. I wanted Kaede Yukino! Forget Sasuke! He's my rival. I noticed that Sasuke likes Yukino. It seems that I'm angry or jealous at him. The weird part is I'm only ten years old and I already have a fiancée? I sighed, "Mei Li, would you please get off?" She hopped off, "I'll sleep with you, okey?" "No," I replied. "Please, Reiji-kun?" she pleaded. "No means no! Stop disturbing me," I walked away.

"Is looking at the clouds your hobby too?" Shikamaru asked. "Anything is interesting that our house," I replied. He raised an eyebrow, "How come?" "Mei Li is living with us," I sighed. Shikamaru snapped, "Oh. The girl you're telling me, your second cousin." I nodded, "Girls, like her, are a pain."

As soon as I arrived at the house, the door slid open and Mei Li greets, "Welcome home, Reiji-kun!" "Yeah, whatever you say," I walked past her without saying another word.

Later noon, I rushed to the kitchen when I Mei Li scream. I saw her carrying a fire extinguisher, putting out fire while panicking.

"Next time, Mei Li, don't cook without me around," Oka-san said. Mei Li nodded. "What the hell are you doing there, anyway?" I asked. Mei Li looked at me, "I was trying to fix your lunch." She was cooking for me? But, what about her? I shook my head, No, no, no! I don't like her. I only like Yukino. No one else! "Then cook. I won't eat it anyway," I stormed out of the room. Oka-san patted her shoulder, "He going to get used sooner or later." She nodded.

I was a bright and sunny afternoon. I went outside to wander. I ended up in the forest. I heard someone… A girl. I went to find out who it is… After a while, I saw her with black brown hair. That's Yukino! I blushed. I decided to greet her but then I heard another voice. I went closer and saw Sasuke. Why does he always have the time alone with her? "Who's there?" Sasuke asked, looking at my direction. I quickly hid behind the tree, That was close! He almost saw me! "What's wrong, Sasuke-kun?" Yukino asked. "Somebody's watching us," he replied. I gulped, What should I do? I came with a dozen of ideas but nothing seems to work. "Hey," Sasuke said, "What're you doing here?" Sasuke... is right in front of me! I laughed, "I-I thought we're playing hide and seek?" Sasuke eyed on me. Yukino approached us and asked, "You're Reiji-kun, right?" I blushed and nodded.

I lay down my bed, "Whew that was a close one. Sasuke might know I'm eavesdropping." "What are they talking about?" Mei Li suddenly spoke from behind me. I almost screamed in surprise, "When did you get in here!" "After you went in," she replied. I sighed, "Don't scare me like that." She smiled. "Alright," I said, "I'm sorry about yesterday. I said harsh words to you." She nodded, "Does that mean you like me?" I blushed, "No! Apologizing and liking someone are two different words!"
