"Dammit!" I yelled screamed out furiously at myself as I fell to the floor on the training grounds. I was exhausted, and I was overworking my charka. I was in so much pain. My muscles were feeling weak and sore, and my breathing was very heavy....Kid calm down, you're over working yourself. If you keep this up your gonna pass out' Haya said.

"Shut it! I can do this!" I screamed at Haya as I my legs to stand up and catch my breath. I closed my eyes and took a deep in and slowly and shakily exhaled out. I made a couple of hand signs and stopped at dog and opened my eyes.

"Katon: Ryuuka no Jutsu!" I screamed. Taking a deep breath I blew out filling the night's air with blazing fire. A smirk crawled on my face, but quickly became a frown as I lost control. The fire backfired and headed straight towards me. Shit. Shit. SHIT!! I let out a small gasp and winced as the flames started to lick my arms. Damn. I quickly jumped away from the blazing fire flames.

The fire slowly settled down as the cool night's wind and carried the smoke and ashes into the sky. I glanced at my badly wounded arm and sighed. 'Can you heal this Haya' I asked as disappointment stole my voice. Then slowly, black chakra leaked out of your body and surrounded the wounded area. I lifted my arms towards my face and studied I arm. 'It won't scar but you will have to bandage it' I weakly took out some bandages and wrapped my almost healed arm.

After I was done I dropped my hand and let it dangle at my side. I was so frustrated that I couldn't do the jutsu, but I was also disappointed as well. I studied my now bandaged arm once again.

"Am I really that I weak?" I asked, questioning my own strength. My brother's word repeated and echoed in my head.

You two are so pathetic it would be worthless to kill you.

My lower jaw clenched as I tightly clutched my teeth and balled my hand into a fist. My body started to shake in frustration and anger. Damn him.

"Oi Tsukimaru," a voice said from behind. I quickly whip around, almost giving myself a whiplash in the process. They’re leaning on the tree, was a raven-haired boy with onyx colored eyes.

"Uchiha, what are you doing here?" I asked curiously.

"I came here to train...” he said simply.

"Well, I'm training so you're going to have to wait." I said as turned around. Then out of nowhere, a kunai flew passed my head. I stood frozen as the knife hissed threw the wind and missed my head by a couple inches.

"Fight me," Sasuke said out of nowhere, I turned around and smirked from behind my mask. Random.....but Okay!

"Fine, what's the catch," I asked with a hint of excitement. My eyes light up with interest.

"If I win, you have to answer a few questions," he explained coldly making my smirk grow wider.

"Is that all?" I asked cocking my eyebrow.

"Also...You have to show me what's under your mask," he continued. I tilted my head to the side in confusion.

"My mask?" He nodded while still keeping eye contact with mine. My mask? Where’d that come from?

"And if I win?" I asked.

"Then...I'll teach you a couple of techniques" he replied. My smirk soon became a big grin, but lucky it was hidden by my mask.

"Deal" I said as I got into a fighting stance. He soon followed and smirked. 'ReikaHaya said warning me, but I simply ignored him.

"Are you ready?" I asked him. He answered by throwing shuriken at me. I was able to dodge it but doing couple of back flips. As I slide through the dirt, my arm started to slightly burn. I winced and grabbed my arm. He charged again and started to throw kicks and punches.

'Left, right, kick, right,' I thought counting his throws of kicks and punches. I was able to block most of them except for one, which hit me right in the stomach making me spit up blood. I jump back and quickly wiped the crimson blood that dripped of my mouth. Sasuke charged towards me again and started to through more punches. This time I didn't block but dodged all of his attacks.

Sasuke's POV

Why. Can't. I. Land. A punch? I was frustrated. I kept throwing punches but she kept dodging all of them. I glared at her angrily as I attacked with more force, but it didn't seem to bother her. She just stared at me with a bored expression. She acted as if it was nothing, not even hard to avoid all my punches. I finally, throw a kick but Reika ducked down. This was really starting to piss me off. She was playing with me. I didn't realize I caught off guard and she brought her right leg in for a roundhouse but I blocked it just in time. Damn, way to close. I struggled to keep her foot from coming down.

Reika POV

Damn. I jumped back towards my original spot. I looked up to see Sasuke but he wasn't anywhere to be seen. The sound of the trees giggled at the night's winds that blew them gently, as Haya and I stood alone on the training ground.

"Looking for me," a voice whispered in my ear. I slowly glanced from the corner of my eyes and Sasuke with a smirk on his face. I felt a cold sharp object that grazed against my neck. My eyes were slightly widened but then they went into a sort of glare and I gave an evil smirk.

Sasuke's POV

I saw Reika smirk and raised an eyebrow. What was she up too? I stood there confused but keep the kunai at her neck, but then there was nothing to put the knife to because she vanished. I quickly went into a fighting stance and waited for an attack. I kept my eyes on search for any movement, but there was none, but I didn't let my guard down.

Then a twig snapped behind me in the bushes and your quickly threw my kunai at the area but nothing happened, I waited and kept my eyes on the area.

"Looking for me," Reika said in the same seductive tone I said to her. I quickly turned around just to get kick in the cheek making me fly across the field. My back made contact with the tree making it sway back and forth. I slid down slowly and try to get over the pain that was in my cheek and the pain in my back that felt as if I were thrown into a bolder. Ninja soon strings wrapped around my body and slammed me back into the tree. I let a groan and winced at the blow.

"I win" Reika said in a child-like voice. I look up and saw her sky blue eyes starring into mine. I looked away from her beautiful eyes and sighed. I then nodded as I agreed to my defeat. The strings loosened and my muscle eased. A hand was offered to me, and I looked up at Reika and saw a bit of happiness in her eyes. I took the hand and she helped me up. I winced and rubbed my wounded cheek. Damn, she kicked me pretty hard.

Reika's POV

I gave a small chuckle and looked at Sasuke. 'He is a strong opponent, and I have to admit he is kind of cute ... No! Bad Reika! Stop thinking that way.' I thought surprised. 'Looks like somebody has a crush on the Uchiha,' Haya said smirking. A small lit of heat rose up to my cheeks.

'N-No I don't! ...I don't think I do...do I? Na it's probably the exhaustion getting to me...' I mumbled dazing off.

"Tsukimaru? Are you ok?" Sasuke said snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Oh uh yeah," I said.

"Well Since you gave me a battle worth fighting, you can ask me a few questions," I said smirking while pulling down and looked at the moon. He just stared at me in awe so some odd reason.

Sasuke's POV

Damn, I can’t believe I lost…

I watched as Reika pulled her mask down and looked into the star filled night sky. Her face was beautiful. She had a few scars on her face but it didn't matter. 'Wow she's pretty...What the hell am I saying. I act as if I like her... Do I? No I can't. I'm an avenger…' I stared at her in awe as the moon's light shinned on her making her skin glow.

"What's wrong?" She asked in a curious voice. I realized I were staring and look away blushing.

"N-Nothing" I said as I felt my cheeks heat up more. 'What the hell? Did I just stutter? What is up with me?'

Reika's POV

"Well it's getting late," I said as I pulled up my mask. He nodded in agreement.

"You can ask me the questions later. We both need our rest. Don't forget we start missions tomorrow," I said as I turned to leave, he sighed and nodded in agreement as he turned to leave.

I went home and cooked myself some meat and shoved it down my throat. I took a shower and brushed my teeth. I went into my room and threw myself on the bed and closed my eyes.

'Reika and Sasuke sitting in the tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G' Haya started to say. I blushed and then growled. 'I DON'T LIKE HIM! ' I yelled at him. 'Sure you don't he replied as his rolled his eyes. I growled and angrily forced myself to sleep.
