Chapter Two

Rei reached her home and looked at it from outside. It was a large mansion and she thought that it was just a waste of space as she would be the only one living there and it wasn't like she had any friends to invite. She doubted that her new teammates would want to visit her once they found out about her. She sighed and went in.

She walked into her new room and began to unpack her things. She suddenly stopped when she picked up a picture of her parents. She scowled as she looked at it and tossed it aside. It went under her bed and she left it there. She had made up her mind to forget about her past. She wanted to live a happy, normal life and so she wouldn't let her past prevent her from doing that. She started to unpack her things again, but stopped when she sensed someone nearby. She stood up and went to see who it was.

Sasuke arrived at Rei's house and looked around. Her house, much like his house was a mansion. He supposed that she had lived there with her parents when they were alive. He felt bad for her as he knew how bad it felt to lose your family. He walked up to the door, but it slid open before he could reach it. Rei stood there in front of him. She looked surprised to see him there.

"Oh hello, what are you doing here?"

"I ran into Kakashi and he asked me to give you this."

Sasuke took out a Konoha headband and handed it to her. She looked at it for a moment and then looked back up at Sasuke.

"Thank you for bringing this. Would you like something to drink? It's the least I could do to repay you for your trouble."

"No, that's fine. I only did it because Kakashi asked me to."

Rei frowned a bit. So he had only done it because they made him. She should have guessed. No one would want to help her willingly. She sighed.

Sasuke looked at her and felt bad for what he had said. She was trying to be nice to him and he had been rude. He tried to think of something to say, but years of being antisocial had left him with nothing but ignorance when it came to talking to others. Then he remembered that she was arranging her things since she had just arrived. Maybe she would feel better if he helped her.

"Hey, would you…like some help unpacking…?"

He looked away. He had never actually been this nice to people, especially to a girl. He knew if he ever offered to help one of his fan girls he would never have a peaceful moment afterwards.

Rei looked at him. She was taken aback by his kind offer, but supposed that he was just trying to be nice. She wouldn't let him help her. It wasn't that she didn't need the help, she really needed it, but she wouldn't take the help that was offered to her out of what she guessed was pity.

"No, that's fine. I wouldn't want to bother you. Thank you, good night."

Sasuke looked up, surprised that she had rejected his offer. She was about to close the door when he caught it. She was a bit surprised at this and to be honest so was he. He looked at her for a moment not knowing what to say. His body had just moved on its own.

"Look, I know that I was a bit rude and I want to make up for it. Just let me help you."

She looked at him for a moment before responding.

"You don't have to help me if you don't want to. Just because you said something and you feel bad for it is no reason to pretend to be nice. People should be nice because they want to not because they have to."

Sasuke couldn't believe what she had just said. He felt both relieved and insulted at the same time. He was relieved to hear that she couldn't care less about him and that she could reject him so plainly. That meant that he wouldn't have to put up with yet another crazy girl, but he was insulted at the way she treated him. She really had no reason to get so upset. He was just trying to help. But, still, it was true that the only reason he was being so nice was because it would make him feel better not because he actually wanted to help. He sighed.

"Still, I want to help you. You must have a lot to do and you still need to rest for tomorrow. Just let me help you."

Rei looked at him and knew he wouldn't leave unless she agreed to let him help. She gave up and opened the door to let him in.

"Alright, but you don't have to help too much. Just do what you can."

Sasuke walked in and looked around. Rei walked off and left him alone. He frowned and followed her. He found her in what he guessed was her room. She was putting some clothes away.

"So, what should I do?"

Rei thought for a second.

"Well, you can help me sweep the hallways."

"Wouldn't you rather have me help you unpack?"

"I told you, I won't make you do a lot. I know you really don't want to stay."

Sasuke frowned and looked out into the hall where some boxes were piled up against the wall.

"Are you sure you don't want help with those?" He said pointing at them.

Rei looked at where he was pointing.

"No, I'll just do those tomorrow. For now I just want to clean up a bit and unpack what I need."

Sasuke nodded and helped her put some things away. Then he helped her clean up and sweep. They were cleaning up her room when he found the picture of her parents under the bed. He picked it up and saw that it was broken.

"Hey, I found this under the bed."

Rei looked at it and frowned. She took it from him and frowned.

"It's just trash. I'll take care of it later."

She looked out through the window.

"It's getting late maybe you should go home."

"Yeah."

They walked to the door and Sasuke stepped out. He turned back to look at Rei.

"Thanks for your help."

"It was nothing."

"Hey, what's your name? We weren't properly introduced."

"I'm Sasuke Uchiha."

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow Sasuke."

"Yeah." He left.

Rei sat on her bed thinking of what had just happened. At first she had thought that Sasuke was a bit arrogant, but now she didn't know what to think. Sure he really didn't want to help her get settled, but he had and he didn't complain like most people would. She thought that he was actually nice. She wondered how strong he really was. She couldn't wait to work with him as his teammate. Maybe starting over wouldn't be so bad. She took off her old Kirigakure headband and put on her new Konoha headband. Maybe she would like living in Konoha. Her other teammates also looked nice. She felt a new wave of optimism as she thought of what her new life would be like.

Sasuke walked home and thought about his new teammate. She really wasn't like the other girls he had met. She was different. Not just because she didn't glomp him every time she saw him, but because she treated him as an equal and didn't care who he was. He was so used to being treated differently because of who he was that it felt strange to be around someone that didn't care.

He wondered how strong she was. Maybe she wouldn't be as useless and annoying as the other two morons he had to work with. He smirked at the thought of meeting someone worth his time. Still, he reminded himself not to jump to conclusions. He didn't really know what she was like. He would look forward to the next day.
