Sakura: Sand owns nothing but the plot and what you don't recognize.

"I'm Mana Inuzuka and this is Ryo Uzumaki." Mana replied with a grin.

"I know who he is, silly, he's my cousin." Keiko replied laughing.

"Ooooooh, you never told me you had a cousin, Ry-chan!" She cried turning to 'glare' at him. He smiled and tickled her side.

"You never asked, Mana-chan." he replied while she giggled. Keiko smiled at them, until Ryo's twin sister appeared.

"There you are Keiko-chan, oh it's you Mana." she said throwing a glare at Mana. Mana glared back, and Ryo rolled his eyes at the girls' behavior.

"Don't start, Haroki." he muttered, Mana smirked at her and she glared.

"Come on Keiko, your mom wants you to hurry back home, I'll help you with the groceries." Haroki said tugging her arm.

"Wait Mana-chan, Ryo-nii do you wanna come too?" Keiko asked turning to her new friend and cousin.

"Sure," they answered climbing back up on Akamaru. Haroki pouted as she and Keiko climbed up on Keiko's dog.

"Haroki-chan why don't you like Mana-chan?" Keiko whispered to her cousin.

"Cause Ryo-nii-chan spends too much time with her." Haroki growled.

"Well, Ryo, Haroki, Keiko, who is you're little friend? Kiiro Nara asked as they arrived at the Nara household, a little while later.

"This is my new friend Mana, Mana Inuzuka." Keiko answered climbing down, a smile on her face, none of the children noticed the slight pained look that passed over Kiiro's face. Haroki, Mana, and Ryo climbed down to the ground as well.

"Well, hello, Mana." She bent down to look the pink haired girl in the eye.

"Hi!" Mana replied scratching her cheek, her Inuzuka markings were starting to appear, and it itched.

"Let's go play!" Keiko cried tugging Mana and Haroki's arms. Mana giggled and grabbed Ryo's hand, which caused Haroki to glare at her. The two five year olds and the two six year olds spent the next couple of hours running around playing n the back yard.

"Mana! Your Dad is here for you!" Kiiro cried. The kids looked over and saw Kiba standing there, he and Kiiro were talking Kiiro didn't look very happy; she looked like she was going to cry. Kiba looked upset too.

"Hey! Keiko-chan, wanna spend the night at my house?" Mana asked, as she tried to catch Akamaru.

"No." Keiko was frowning, and glaring at Kiba. The others looked at her, Manas' eyes shone with hurt.

"Why not?" she was confused, why didn't her new friend wanna spend the night at her house.

"Because your daddy hurt my mommy." Mana glanced at Kiiro, she didn't look hurt.

"What'd ya mean, she don't look hurt." Mana said frowning.

"My mommy loved your daddy and he broke her heart." Keiko answered.

"Well, can't she get it fixed." Ryo almost laughed at Manas' question.

"You can't fix a broken heart, stupid." Haroki sneered, Mana glared at her.

"Your daddy's mean so I don't wanna be near him." Keiko snapped.

"You take that back, my daddy isn't mean!" Mana snapped.

"No I won't." Keiko replied. Mana snarled and jumped on the other girl. Immediately, the girls started biting, scratching, kicking and punching,

"MANA STOP!" Her father yelled, she ignored him.

"KEIKO THAT'S ENOUGH!" Kiiro screamed, she was also ignored. Both adults raced to the two and pulled them apart. Both girls had scratches and a bruise or two and both had tears streaming down their faces.

"Now, what happened?" Kiiro asked, Mana glared at her and Keiko.

"Nothing mommy." Keiko answered.

"I'd better bring her home, sorry about all of this, Kiiro." Kiba muttered as she jumped onto Akamaru, holding Mana.

"It's alright." She answered.

"Would you two like a ride home?" He asked the Uzumaki twins.

"No, we're staying the night here, thanks anyway, sir." Ryo answered. Kiba nodded and took off to his house.

"What happened to her?" Sakura asked when He and Mana reached home.

"A little fight between her and Keiko Nara." Kiba replied, as he carried his sleeping daughter to her room

"So much for them becoming friends." Sakura muttered as she went to calm her crying son.

"I never wanna see Mana Inuzuka again." Keiko snapped as she and her cousin fixed their sleeping bags on her bedroom floor.

"I told you she was a brat." Haroki answered. Ryo ignored them both, he happened to like Mana.

"Isn't she a brat, Ryo?" Both girls were looking at him waiting for his answer.

"I'm not gonna talk bad about her, she's one of my best friends." Ryo said rolling his eyes, lying down.

"Hmph fine." both girls followed his lead and went to sleep.
