-1Anika carefully walked down the sidewalk, her black hair falling over her left eye. She was on her way to the ramen bar to meet with Sasuke and Naruto. Suddenly, a red haired boy walked into her, the girl falling back but catching herself.

"Damn… Watch it." Anika said, looking at the sullen eyed boy.

"Hn," He replied back, soon on his way again.

"Is that all you can say?" Anika asked him, anger rising as she threw a kunai expertly at his head, the blade shaving off three pieces of hair. The kunai crashed to the ground, a metallic sound filling the air. The boy turned, his face emotionless. He turned to her, sand flowing around him and darting at her, wrapping her up in a sandy embrace. Anika struggle against the grip, screaming for help.

"STOP! DAMN IT! STOP!" Anika pleaded shrilly, her body nearly going numb as it became harder for her to breath.

The boy let go of her, Anika crashing to the ground in pain. She got back up and glared at him as he walked away.

"BASTARD!" She screamed after him.

He disappeared over the hill so Anika started walking again, annoyed at the boy and his behavior. The girl was about to enter the ramen shop until she saw the red haired boy there, sitting next to Naruto.

Anika was about to walk away when Sasuke waved her to come in. Anika sighed and obeyed, walking in and taking a seat across the red haired boy and sitting next to Sasuke. Sakura had a glum face and left as soon as Anika entered. The black haired girl smirked at this. She and Sakura were sworn enemies, Anika being the overpowering one.

"Anika! You look pale! Are you okay?" Sasuke asked.

"Oh yeah… I was just nearly crushed with kid sand by a red haired bastard… I'm fine." She said sarcastically, glaring at the boy across from her.

"Gaara hurt you!?" Sasuke asked in almost pure surprise. Anika nodded in anger.

"Why did you do it, Gaara?" Naruto asked his best friend.

"She's the one who threw the dagger at me head…" He muttered.

"Hey!! I controlled the aim!!" She screamed out at him. Anika got up, angered by him, and walked out, tears streaming with pure anger and hurt.
