Randa: We were a little dicouraged with the flame. but we're up an going.

Wonton: Here's the next chap.

"Hey, Sasuke. Have you heard about the new kid yet?" Gaara asked in a cold tone as he came up next to his black haired friend. Sasuke looked at him.

"No I don't believe I have." Sasuke said. "She a 'Light'?" he then asked.

"Dude! Hell No! He wouldn't be so intent on you meeting her if she was. Vixen is awesome." Tenten exclaimed.

"Sasuke if you don't know Vix you're just troublesome." Shikamaru said in a lazy voice. Sasuke looked around at all his friends. Seriously he'd heard of 'Vixen' before. His brother never shut up. Not to mention her little brother is always hanging around with his sisters.

"I've heard of her. My family seems to like her. Her little brother is always hanging around with the twins." Sasuke said dully.

"Hn. Are you sure she's safe? I mean, personally, I've only heard rumors." Shino said in a bored way.

"God you're all a bunch of downers. Can't you guys ever get excited!" Tenten exclaimed. Gaara raised a non-existent eyebrow, Shino just kinda stared at her, Shikamaru rolled his eyes in a lazy manner, muttering something that sounded suspiciously like troublesome, last but not least Sasuke, who spoke.

"Seriously Ten, the last time I was happy was when my mother got me a puppy for my birthday." Sasuke said in a dull tone.

"Oh, oh, how long did that last?" Shikamaru asked feigning excitement.

"About two weeks, before the stupid thing went an got himself run over." Sasuke answered. It was then Sasuke saw a blue eyed blond standing and talking with Zabuza, Kakashi, Kurenai, and Iruka. Tenten saw this to and went over to talk as well.

Sasuke hadn't seen the girl since last year when she was a seventh grader. He had to say that she had gotten prettier over the summer. She was laughing at something Ten had said, and her eyes sparkled with merriment. Her long hair tied up in its pigtails and bangs that framed her face. The three whisker marks on her face made her exotic.

Oddly he knew exactly how she got them, She'd gotten them while playing with his puppy and Kiba'sAkamaru. The two puppies combined efforts knocked the small girl down and each of them scratched her on the cheeks but she just kept playing. It may have not seemed serious but she had kept picking at the scabs so they scared pretty bad.

Well any way, Sasuke loved the way she was always smiling but between her and her siblings she was the perkiest. Their father was all around a nice guy but their mother was horrid. Despite her family life though Sasuke really liked her. Sure she could be loud and never really seemed that smart, but she had to be if she was in 9th grade. She was after all supposed to be in 8th grade. She impressed him in everything she did.

Noticing someone was talking to him he snapped back to reality. "Sasuke you really do need to pay attention to what's going on around you. Rather than staring at Ten's bust." Sasuke's eyes flew wide at Gaara's comment.

"I was not staring at Ten." Sasuke replied growling at the red-head.

"Oh so it was Vixen. I forgot you've always had your eye on that one." Gaara taunted.

"No she's just a stupid eight ball." Sasuke spat before heading off to his next class. Gaara shook his head then went to join the rest to enjoy the rest of their free period.

Naruto turned her head to watch Sasuke walk off. Some of the sparkle that had been in her eyes died before rejoining the conversation. Though she was not as animated as before.
