Hello people! Hope you guys like this chapter. I have a bit of bad news so read the important note. Thanks to ruler of dragons, kawaii uchiha's, tru-viet, and Firefairie93 for reviewing. Please review the sooner you review the sooner I update and the more reviews I receive the more I write.

Important: It seems that I should really work on some of my other stories as some of them are close to ending. I have a story on hiatus and I really have to continue with it. To make time for it I have to finish a few of my stories and so the updates for this story will be a bit slower. Now, before you start sending death threats you should know that this doesn't mean long month long waits or anything like that. Now, on with the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the lovely Rei.

Chapter Eleven

Rei and Sasuke went back to the inn where the others were waiting for them. The next morning the left for Konoha. Once they were ready and had gathered all of their things they headed back to the village. Rei talked to Naruto on the way back as she didn't feel like dealing with Sakura's jealous glares at the moment. Her plan was to walk with Naruto and talk to him the whole way back, but somehow Sasuke slipped into the conversation. She sighed inwardly. Luckily after a while Naruto began to argue with Sasuke like always and so the attention was drawn off of Rei.

The rest of the way back was spent either trying to ignore the bickering comrades or trying to calm them with death threats which were mostly directed at Naruto (guess who did the threatening). Rei was so happy when they finally got back that she almost cried. Finally, some peace and quiet! Then she felt someone tap her on the shoulder. She turned around and felt her hopes shatter into thousands of little pieces.

"It's still early, how about we go train?" Sasuke said.

Rei sighed and tried to hold back the tears. All she wanted was to go home, rest and take a nice hot bath. After traveling with a hyperactive-ramen-loving boy, a moody-I'm-too-good-to-smile jerk, and a pink-haired-boy-chasing-incompetent-kunoichi, and being choked almost to death she thought it was fair to want to rest. Was it too much to ask for a few hours of sleep? She didn't think so, but apparently Sasuke did.

"Fine." She sighed heavily.

Sasuke smirked and they went to the training grounds. Sasuke jumped back and turned to her. He smirked at her from the other side of the field.

"Don't hold back."

"I won't." She said smirking.

"Good, because I won't either."

Rei looked at him expecting him to move soon. Suddenly he vanished from her line of vision. She turned and blocked his attack. There was a lot of force behind the blow he had directed at her and so he managed to push her back a few inches. She threw a punch at him, but he blocked it easily, just like she wanted him to. Now both of his hands were occupied and so she took this chance.

Sasuke sensed someone behind him. He turned his head and saw Rei running towards him ready to attack. He realized that the Rei he was holding was just a clone. He spun around so that the clone received the hit. He caught Rei and smirked.

"Looks like this time I really caught you."

Rei frowned. She tried to kick him, but he jumped back. That was enough. All she wanted was to at least get him away from her so that she could have room to attack. They ran at each other. Sasuke jumped up and threw some shuriken at her. She dodged them easily and jumped to meet Sasuke. She punched him and although Sasuke managed to block the blow the force behind it sent him back down. He hit the ground hard and for a moment she was worried about him. She wondered if she had overdone it. However she knew that he was fine when she saw a ball of fire heading her way. She made some hand signs and sighed.

Sasuke looked over to see if he had hit her with his attack and was amazed to see her unscathed. She was standing surrounded by a wall of wind. She frowned at him and he could see a vein throbbing in her forehead. He gulped and got ready for whatever was next.

"Sasuke, you jerk! What are you trying to do, kill me?!? What if that had hit me?!?"

"Well, that was the point."

She growled and her eye twitched. She charged at him and he could barely see her move. She threw countless blow and somehow he managed to block a most of them, the key word here is most. He had to admit, for a girl, she was strong. He finally found an opening and managed to knock her back with a punch to the stomach. She stumbled back as she was caught off guard. She stood up in time to receive yet another blow. She was thrown back a bit. Now she was mad.

After a while they were scratched, bruised and exhausted. Still neither one of them would admit defeat and so they continued to 'train' until they couldn't move anymore. They laid there panting heavily, each on their own side of the training grounds. Sasuke had to admit, that was one of his best training sessions. If he could only get her angry enough every time he would have to become stronger. At least if he wanted to live through his training.

"So, Sasuke, have you given up yet?" Rei called mockingly from the other side.

Sasuke could hear the exhaustion in her voice. He smirked.

"Why would I give up when I clearly beat you?"

"What?!? Sasuke, you moody bastard! You know I won! But, don't worry I won't tell your fan club if you ask nicely."

Sasuke could hear a bit of laughter in the last sentence.

"Shut up you hot headed brat."

"Who are you calling a brat?!? We're the same age!"

Sasuke chuckled. She really was amusing. He sat up slowly.

"Come on. It's late and we should get something to eat."

"Yeah."

Rei just laid there and Sasuke waited for a moment before speaking.

"Well, aren't you coming?"

"Wait damn it!"

And so Sasuke waited until she spoke.

"Sasuke?"

"What?"

"I can't move."

Sasuke stayed quiet and his eye began to twitch in annoyance. He sighed and stood up. He just knew he would regret talking to this girl.

"I am really sorry about this." Rei said sheepishly.

"Just shut up you stupid girl." Sasuke grumbled.

He tried to ignore the looks that were directed their way as he walked through town with Rei on his back. She had exhausted her chakra and so he was forced to carry her to the ramen shop. When they got there he happily dropped her onto a stool. They ordered some food and began to eat.

"Sorry." Rei said again.

"Don't worry."

"But I am sorry."

"Forget about it, okay." He said grumpily.

"But Sasuke-kun I really am awfully sorry. I hope this doesn't prevent me from joining your fan club." She said mockingly.

"Okay, now you're jus trying to annoy me."

Rei snickered and Sasuke sighed.

"You're as bad as Naruto."

"Awww, but you know you love us." She mocked him.

Sasuke choked on his ramen. Rei just looked at him, puzzled.

"Shut up! You have to be the most annoying person I have ever met and that includes Naruto! Stop smiling! What are you laughing at?"

"You're just…so…funny!" She said between laughs.

Sasuke felt like choking her, but restrained himself. He growled at the girl sitting next to him. He slammed some money down on the counter and left. Rei wiped off a tear from her eye once she was done laughing. She finished her ramen and stood up. She took out some money, but the storekeeper stopped her.

"There's no need. The young man that was with you paid already."

Rei looked surprised, but smiled and left. She made a note to thank Sasuke. Maybe she should stop bugging him so much. No, it was too fun. She made a promise to stop bothering him when he stopped being a jerk. She grinned as she knew that was unlikely. Still, she liked to be with him. He was just to easy to annoy.
