Author's Notes:
I`m just filling in some information about Nikki, since she is probably my main OC.
Remember, Nikki can be very dramatic and she isn`t who you think she is. Get read to learn more about Nikki
I do NOT own Naruto
Reaching Out for You
Nikki stared blankly at her teammates as she sat in the cold water of the river.
"Nikki?" a blonde hair girl yelled, "NIKKI SNAP OUT OF IT!"
The golden eyes met the blue ones, and she frowned, "Sorry..." she whispered, standing up.
A short, brown haired boy stared at her, worry in his eyes, "Are you okay Nikki-chan? Ever since we became a team, you`ve been slacking off, we know you are strong, but do you have to show off."
Once again, Nikki was zoning out, she looked at them, then started walking off, it was night after all.
The two other genin started to run after her, but her held back by Chijou, who had hurt in her eyes.
The two glared at her, "Something is wrong!' they both yelled.
"You two, you have no idea...." she whispered.
Nikki fell on the bed of her apartment, hugging a picture close to her chest, crying, "Mother! Father! Sister!" she yelled.
She stared at the picture, crying harder as she studied each of their faces, there was a beautiful brown haired girl who looked exactly like Nikki, then there was another brown haired woman, her hair was wavy and was tied up by her headband, her smile seemed so warm and comforting. Then her father, a thin man, yet muscualar, his skin was tanned and his eyes were a beautiful bright green, his hair a golden blonde.
"Would you be proud of me, would you love me?" she asked through her tears.
She walked out of the apartment the next morning and starting walking towards Sasuke`s house, a bag thrown over her shoulder.
When she reached the house she knocked on the door, which was soon opened by no one, but Sasuke himself.
Nikki looked into his dark eyes and hugged him, "Sasuke, don`t leave me, you`re my only friend, Sasuke! My only thing that is like a family member," she yelled all this hysterically.
Sauske pulled her in the house then hugged her back, not wanting to ruin his image and not wanting Nikki to be killed by his fangirls.
"I won`t leave, I promise," he whispered as she cried, her bag dropping to the floor with a thud.
"Can I please stay with you? Please?" she pleaded, clinging o him more, acting as if she didn`t she`d die.
For once, Sasuke`s eyed showed some emotion, "Why, why do you want to stay here?"
"Because, I don`t want to be alone," she whispered.
She broke the hug, ran over to her bag and pulled out the picture of her family, showing it to Sasuke, who nodded.
"What happened to them?" he asked.
"They were all killed by...." she stopped and looked away.
"By?"Sasuke asked.
"..." she continued looking at the ground.
Sasuke`s eyes narrowed, "Itachi..."
"I`m sorry...." she whispered.
"Why?" he asked.
"I don`t want you to be mad at him, I don`t want you to go after him!" she yelled.
Sasuke nodded, "I`ll show you to where you can sleep and you can unpack.... I have to go train..."
"With Naruto-kun and the it?" she asked, following Sasuke to a room.
She set her things down, noticing the smirk on Sasuke`s face.
"Ya... dobe," he muttered.
"Play nice, Sasuke-love..." she smiled, unpacking her things, noticing the small tint of pink upon Sasuke`s cheeks.
"Ya... I`ll go now," he said, running out of the room.
Nikki smiled warmly as he left, though it was obvious sadness was hidden behind the happy and warm face, she looked at the picture once more, before placing it face down on the windowsill and walking out of the room, glancing back once, before going to train by herself for a little.

Peace and Loneliness by Nikki_Yaoi
Author's Notes:
Just another chapter
I do NOT own Naruto
Peace and Loneliness
Nikki slowly made her way to the forest she always trained at, but before she got there, she fell to her knees and broke down crying, she wanted Sasuke. Now.
She soon felt a hand wipe away her tears, and she looked up into pale lavender eyes.
"Neji-sama, Neji-sama, why, why are you here?" she cried. "You should be with Lee-kun and TenTen-chan...." she whispered.
"I was on my way there, but, luckily for you I saw you fall to your knees and start crying, I figured you`d need a shoulder, guess fate was on your sie this time," he said with a smirk. She stared, could Hyuuga`s and Uchiha`s only smirk? This question had been going through her head ever since she had met the two.
"Yes, Nikki-chan, I can smile, if that is what you are thinking," Neji stated.
Nikki fell back, how did he know that, was he a mind reader or something, she blushed as he caught her from hitting her head on the ground.
He helped her stand up, but he was still holding her. "Neji-sama, you can let go of me now," she muttered, eyes wide, ya, Neji was quite handsome, but this was a little weird, Neji had never been one to show this much emotion, he had always went on and on about fate and how he was better then Hinata and wanted to kill her, it was a little scary.
A light shade of pink tinted Neji`s cheeks, "What is I don`t want to?" he whispered into her ear, smirking.
Nikki started blushing madly, hoping for Lee or TenTen to arrive and take him off, but also wanting him to stay and hold her, comforting her, but then, mabye Sasuke would be better for that job.
Luckily for her, Lee came by and stared, Neji shot him a glare, which made Lee freeze.
"Well, Gai-sensei is getting worried, so come on Neji-sama!" Lee said quickly.
Neji let go of Nikki and followed Lee.
"Bye Lee-kun, Neji-sama!" she yelled after them.
After training she went back to Sasuke`s, punching her way through the door. Sasuke looked up at her, she looked pretty beaten up.
"I thought you trained alone," Sasuke muttered.
"Well, my sensei came by, I told her I wasn`t going to be at training today so she forced me to fight her, curse that eye of hers, turned my jutsu right back at me," she hissed.
Sasuke stared, "Never herd of that Kekkai Genkai, who is your sensei?" he questioned.
"Chijou-sensei," she muttered, sitting next to him, "Naruto-kun, you can come out now..." she muttered in an annoyed tone. Nikki was good at sensing different levels of chakra and she could also determine who the person was.
Naruto crawled out from under a table, "How did you know I was here?"
"I could sense your chakra a mile away," she muttered coldly.
Sasuke stared at Nikki, "So that was why Chijou wasn`t at training today."
"Ya, she can`t always be with Team 7, she has her own team of gennin too, sadly, due to Sakura, we are stuck with harsher training," she muttered, her voice was so cold and empty, it was like Sasuke`s.
She stood up, "I`m going to bed..." she stated, walking to her room and laying on the bed, looking at the picture that was still down, she curled up and fell asleep, a tear going down her cheek, crying as she slept.

Big Suprise by Nikki_Yaoi
Author's Notes:
-3- I enjoy being mean to Neji, but I love him anyways, even though he is an ass a lot, but then, so is Sasuke xD
I do NOT own Naruto
Big Suprise
Nikki`s eye slowly opened, only to look into a pair of black eyes.
She screamed and fell off the bed, Sasuke staring at her in a confused manner,
"Gosh, Sasuke, why`d you have to scare me like that and why in the world is Naruto-kun still here?" Nikki screamed, even though she knew the answer to the last part, she had known about their secret relationship for some time now.
"You are too good at sensing other ninja, do you know that?" Sasuke asked.
"Mabye," she replied with a shrug.
"I was worried, so me and Naruto have been watching you sleep, making sure you were okay, afterall, you were crying, and Kakashi and Chijou gave us the day off," Sasuke muttered. How did he look so emotionless while saying this? Could he not cry or something, it bugged her.
Naruto came into the room moments later with 3 bowls of ramen, with a large grin on his face.
Nikki got back on the bed and sat there as Naruto handed her a bowl of ramen, but soon there was a knock on the door and Sasuke went to answer it and came back with Neji by his side, looking quite annoyed.
"WHo is that?" Naruto asked Nikki.
"Neji-sama!" Nikki yelled, "What are you doing here?" she asked, trying to hide somewhere.
"I didn`t like you living here, I mean, especially with these two," he replied calmly.
"I`m fine, so you can go on and train!" Nikki yelled frantically.
Neji sat by Nikki and got uncomfortably close to Nikki`s face, "I told Gai-sensei I had family buisness to attend too," he whispered.
Sasuke and Naruto stared in shock, Nikki`s whole face was crimson and she looked as if she was about to faint.
"Well, um, Sasuke, Naruto, and I are going to go out today!" she yelled.
"Mind if I come?" he asked.
"No," Nikki yelled immediately, then covered her mouth and looked over at Sasuke, who was now smirking.
They were all walking through Konoha, Nikki clinging to Sasuke worriedly, and he looked annoyed.
Sakura and Ino ran into the four and practically fainted.
"Why are you hugging Sasuke, huh?" Sakura yelled.
"Ya, seriously, Sasuke doesn`t love you Nikki!" Ino screamed.
This only made Nikki kick Sakura in the face, then glared at Ino.
Sasuke sighed, "You two are annoying... and I will NEVER love you two...."
Sakura was screaming in pain, while Ino looked as if she was about to cry.
Neji pulled Nikki away from Sasuke and held her close, his eyes looked possesive as he glared at the two girls, who smirked and ran off, to start a rumor most likely.
Nikki was about to scream, "Neji-sama! They just got the wrong impression!"
"Would you rather them think you were with Sasuke?" Neji whispered to her.
"Either way, I`m going to get mauled by your fangirls!" she said frowning. "Besides, I know Sasuke better then you," she muttered.
"You`d upset poor Naruto-kun," Neji said with a triumphant smirk.
Sasuke pulled Nikki back over to him, they were starting some kind of rivalry, besides, he didn`t like Neji at all and he didn`t trust Neji with Nikki, it was dangerous.
Neji glared at Sasuke and pulled Nikki back over to him, however, this was bugging Nikki, she summoned Eimin while they were busy. "I am not your damn toy, let go of me or I sick the cat on you...." she hissed.
Sasuke gave a small smile, he knew that secretly, Nikki had part of a demon sealed inside of her, the other had been sealed inside her sister, and this helped Eimin a great deal, though the cat was stubborn and sarcastic, it was a large part of Nikki.
Neji let Nikki go and she ran over to the towering cat, hiding bhind one of it`s leg, sticking her tongue out at Neji.
Neji couldn`t help but laugh, "Stop implying such things, Nikki."
Nikki`s face became pink, "YOU PERVERTED BASTARD!" she screamed.
Now, if Sasuke was anyone else, he would have fell down laughing, however, he was an Uchiha, so he smirked, while Naruto was the one laughing.
Neji, however, took no offense to this, he pretty much ignored the statement altogether.
Nikki pouted, Neji was still staring at her, and it was bugging her.
'She looks cute when she is pouting, wait, did I just say cute? Hyuuga Neji does not say cute..... am I sick? I wonder....' Neji though.
"NEJI-SAMA!" Nikki yelled.
Neji blinked, staring right into Nikki`s golden eyes, he could feel her warm breath against his lips. Sasuke was about to scream, Neji was acting beyond creepy, he started to drag Nikki off, worried about Neji-bastard, he had been staring at Nikki like he was about to pounce, but Nikki was too clueless to see this. Neji started to follow them and it went back to being normal, though Sasuke made sure Nikki was between him and Naruto and Neji was right by Sasuke, but soon, Naruto had dragged Nikki off to Ichiraku`s and Neji had gone after them.
"Last one there pays!" Nikki screamed, this made Sasuke start running, he couldn`t afford ramen for those two, it was insane.
They all laughed at Neji as he got there last and watched Naruto and Nikki eat about five bowls of ramen each, Sasuke smirking at him, ordering as much as he could, just to make Neji pay, it was cruel, but this was Sasuke.

Once Upon a Time by Nikki_Yaoi
Author's Notes:
I skipped a good bit of time, but that is so it moved a little faster and you can understand more about her, I guess xD
I do NOT own Naruto
The chunnin exams had finally come around, however, Nikki was there merely to watch, Jessica and Nikki had past the chunnin exams, however, Cameron still had some work to do.
Chijou had went and gotten herself pregnant, so they couldn`t train, she talked to the Sandaime and had gotten him to do some kind of private test.
Now, Lee and Gaara were fighting and Jessica, who was standing next to her was going absolutely crazy.
"GO GAARA-KUN!: Jessica yelled.
"Ever since I introduced you to Gaara, which was when he first came here for the chunnin exams, you have stalked him, Gaara told me you were ticking him off," Nikki muttered.
Jessica stared, "How do you become friends with all the anti-social people who would normally rather kill themselves then have friends?"
Nikki shrugged, "Gaara has a demon inside of him, like Naruto and I, Sasuke`s family got killed by Itachi as did mine, the others, we get along, but I don`t think you could call us friends. Ino is alright, but I don`t really like her, and then there is Sakura and I HATE her, however I do like her fanboy."
"Rock Lee?" Jessica asked.
"Ya, Lee is cool. That is why I can`t cheer, I love them both very much," Nikki said softly.
Jessica frowned, "Come on, Fuzzy-brows isn`t half as cool as Gaara!"
"Lee might be a spazz, but he is a very loyal friend, he works hard and he never gives up. Gaara, he is lonely, homocidal, against the world, and doesn`t grasp the concept of love," Nikki mumbled.
Jessica sighed, "You have changed, Nikki. When we were younger, you`d cheer for the cutest guy, like I remember when you`d always run over to Kakashi-sensei and hug him, calling him the cutest guy ever."
Nikki blushed, "I was seven...."
"And you have Neji-kun now," Jessica laughed.
Nikki blushed even more, "No, Neji-sama is merely my stalker."
"What is all this talk about me being a stalker?"
Nikki turned around, only to look Neji in the eyes, "Heh, heh, Neji-sama, I thought you were over there with TenTen, cheering Lee on, since he is your teammate afterall, right Jessica?" THere was no answer, "Jessica?" she looked over and noticed Jessica was gone, then noticed she was talking with Shikamaru. "Baka...." she muttered angrily.
"You know, fate destined us to be together," Neji said with a smirk.
"..." Nikki stared at him, then was gone in a puff of smoke and standing behind Jessica. "JESSICA-BAKA!" she yelled, hitting her friend over the head.
"Ow! Shikamaru and I were discussing who we woul---" she stopped, hearing a scream from Lee, Nikki turned to see Lee had been knocked out and Gai was standing between Lee and Gaara.
Nikki jumped down next to Gaara and grabbed him by the arm, "Gaara! Come on...." she hissed, Gaara walked besides Nikki, glaring at her.
Once Nikki got him back with his brother and sister, they stared at Nikki. Amazed that she would drag Gaara out of there.
"Temari-chan!" Nikki exclaimed, running over and hugging her friend as if she hadn`t seen her in forever, when she had been hanging out with Temari every chance she got.
Temari smiled, "Nikki-chan, you`re not joining in the fun? I haven`t seen you fight for quite a while."
Nikki smirked, the sand siblings always made her like this for some reason. "Pft, I`m already a chunnin, but, that vest is silly looking, mabye I can help you guys train for the finals?"
Temari laughed, "Sounds fun!"
She turned her attention to Kankurou and almost tackled him to the ground with her hug, "Kitty boy, I`m so glad you`re here!"
Kankurou blushed, "Hai... Nikki-chan." He returned the hug, then let go, allowing her to stand next to Gaara and watch him, since she was probably one of the only ones brave enough to stand up to him.
"Why do you pretend to be happy?" Gaara asked, his voice was cold and cruel, it made Nikki shudder.
"I don`t know what you are talking about..." she muttered coldly.
"You are sad and you try to hide it, why? You give love to people and act as if no one ever betrayed you," he hissed.
"Gaara, you know me too well, as you`ve known, after my parents were killed by Itachi, I became very cold and depressed, yet tried to hide it with a large smile, much like Naruto-kun does, but it seems I can`t fool my friends very well now..." she frowned.
Gaara nodded, "Atleast no one fears you and hates you.... but, these people, they are there for me to kill and make me happy, so I guess it doesn`t matter."
"Actually, Gaara, they think I killed my parents, no matter what the Hokage says, they think I did it, so many of my parent`s friends hate me, and then there is Sakura, but that is a mutual hate, oh, and Gaara, remember that I love you. You and Sasuke have been like my brothers forever and I love you for it," she said, smiling weakly at Gaara who stared at her in a confused fashion.
"Love?" Gaara asked.
Nikki nodded and grabbed Gaara`s hand, "Even if I leave one day, you can always remember the happy beggining, that once upon a time, Nikki loved Gaara more then anyone ever had."

Together Forever by Nikki_Yaoi
Author's Notes:
-hides- Jessica-chan is going to kill me for this chapter, BUT oh well |D
I do NOT own Naruto
Nikki and Gaara sat on a roof, looking up at the moon, Nikki`s hand was placed on Gaara`s.
"Will you always love me, Nikki?" Gaara asked.
"Gaara.... can I ever stop loving you is the question? Just like I can never stop loving Sasuke, my mother, and my father, don`t ask such silly questions," she said with a huge smile, one to even rival Naruto`s.
"Good... because I l-- lo.." he couldn`t say it, so he sighed, he had been worried about saying he loved anyone ever since his uncle.
"I know Gaara... but please remember, Temari and Kankurou love you too," Nikki mumbled.
Gaara nodded, "I know."
She put her head on Gaara`s shoulder and fell asleep.
She woke up, yawning, then noticing she was still on the roof with the red haired boy who stared out at Konoha stoicly, then looked down at her.
"Gaara, I have to go to my Team`s meeting place now, would you like to come?" she asked sweetly.
Gaara nodded and she was soon dragging him off.
When they reached the place she couldn`t help but laugh as she saw Jessica start jumping up and down.
Nikki squeezed Gaara`s hand in attempt to comfort him, "Don`t worry, she is a little crazy and bites sometimes, but with your sand, she should be no problem.
"Nikki-chan! I`m so glad you brought your friend with you, Gaara-kun, glad to see you," she giggled.
Cameron leaned against a tree, talking to a giggling TenTen, she rolled her eyes, that meant Neji would be here too.... joy.
Neji soon appeared from behind the tree, smirking at Nikki, Gaara glared at him, warning him to back off, obviously seeing that Nikki really didn`t want him here.
"Nikki, make your pet behave," he said smugly.
This made Gaara even more angry, and sand shot at Neji, Nikki darted in front of Neji, and Gaara instantly called the sand back. Nikki kicked Neji and walked back to Gaara`s side, "Don`t tell me you are going to be this violent of a Kazekage, I know Neji-sama is a prick, but that is no reason to murder him."
Gaara smiled weakly, Nikki hadn`t seen a genuine smile from Gaara since they were very little, about five, this made Nikki smile and hug Gaara, "You`re smiling.... please say that means you have a little bit of happiness in you."
"He is happy because I`m here of course," Jessica laughed, only to be hit with a medium sized rock from Nikki.
Neji sighed, "Nikki-chan, will you please be with me? I love you, I really, truely do. Will you love me in return?"
Nikki blushed and was soon pushed forward by... wait, sand? Gaara was basically telling her to accept, 'Gaara, you really do know me to well,' she thought. She looked Neji in the eyes, "Hai, Neji-sama...." she muttered, blushing, she looked at Gaara who was smirking triumphently.
Jessica slowly made her way over to Gaara, in hope Nikki wouldn`t notice, but unfortunately for her, Nikki did.
"Ikeike-chan!" Nikki yelled.
Jessica fainted, what a horrible nickname. Everyone there stared at Nikki, then at Jessica. That was harsh.
Nikki glared at her teammate, "You owe me one Gaara, I keep saving you from her...."
"Would have been better if you would have made her bleed..." he muttered.
Nikki shook her head, "I have to get Gaara back to Temari and Kankurou...." she paused for a moment before looking at Neji, "Neji-sama.... I love you," she whispered, before hugging Neji and kissing him tenderly on the lips.
She smiled, waved, and dragged gaara off, giggling as Neji stood there actually smiling.
Jessica woke up, and stomped home and Cameron and TenTen had gone back to talking and giggling.
Nikki sighed, "Thankyou Gaara...."
Gaara nodded as he followed Nikki.
They`d be together forever, aslong as forever was a short time

Pain, Rejection, Crying by Nikki_Yaoi
Author's Notes:
I do NOT own Naruto
Nikki noticed a woman lying on the ground, a man laughing at her,
The woman looked bruised and beaten and it sickened Nikki, her eyes narrowed as she strolled over to the two.
"Sir, you better back off.... or else!" she hissed.
The man and woman looked terrified, "The monster! The one who killed her family!" the man yelled.
"I heard she also helped kill the Uchiha's!" the woman whispered, acting more afraid of her then the man.
"I didn`t kill them!" Nikki snarled, stepping closer, pure anger spreading across her face. "What did I ever do to you? I didn`t kill my parents, or Sasuke`s family, I was SEVEN!" she screamed.
She lunged at the two, only to be held back by Naruto and Jessica who had appeared just in time.
The man and woman started running off in terror, as Jessica and Naruto prevented Nikki from running after them and possibly killing them.
"Nikki-chan, how do they know about your demon?" Naruto asked.
"I don`t know, only my parents and closest friends knew,"Nikki hissed. They let her go and she clenched her fist, a strance chakra flaring up around her, it was pure white, Nikki`s eyes turned cat like, "Those damn bastards, when I see them again, I`ll kill them."
Naruto and Jessica frowned, Naruto knew Nikki hadn`t been exposed to much rejection due to the fact she wore bandages around her arms and the hokage had made sure that no one would spread the truth about Nikki around, however, the rumor about her killing her parents became a big problems, but only with the people who didn`t know her.
Everyone else knew it was Itachi`s fault, Sasuke did too.... now, and it was obvious that Nikki didn`t even want to tell him, the fear of him leaving too strong.
Nikki turned and started heading home, ignoring the fact that she was suppose to help her friends train for the finals. "Tell Gaara,Kankurou, and Temari I can`t help them train today," she said with bitterness in her voice.
Nikki decided instead of going home, she`d pay a little visit to a certain place. She knew Sasuke had left the hospital and Nikki knew where they were, she jumped off towards the area, only to find Gaara, murderous itent in his eyes.
"Gaara-niisan..."Nikki whispered, only calling him that when she was sad or she was warning him.
"You two can come out now, I hope you didn`t think such murderous intent would go unnoticed, and Nikki, well, we knew you`d come sooner or later," Kakashi yelled.
Nikki grabbed Gaara by the hand and walked into the open, "Kakashi-sensei, Sasuke-kun," Nikki said, smiling at them.
"Stop with the fake smiles, Nikki," Gaara muttered. Why was it, that if Gaara said more then two words it was because Nikki was pretending to be happy? Did he have like a sixth sense that could tell when she wasn`t happy?
Sasuke stared, "What happened?" he said, trying to hide any concern in his voice and keep a stoic face.
By now, Kakashi had pulled out a certain orange book, obviously listening to the conversation....sorta.
"They all hate me, just because they think I killed my parents, just because they might know I have a demon inside of me, just because of rumors and differences they hate me!" Nikki barked, the white chakra flaring up again, but this time, she seemed to get claws.
Kakashi looked up from his book, "Nikki-san, calm down, if people don`t like you because of that, ignore them, ya, it is hard, but, so is life," he said lazily.
"But, I was trying to help the woman who was being beaten, and her and the man got all mean and started acting cruel to me," she cried.
Gaara sucked up the last of his pride to wrap his arm around Nikki, attempting to comfort her, yet obviously making himself a little uncomfortable.
Sasuke frowned, "Nikki, why don`t you stay here, and as long as he doesn`t kill us, your friend can stay too."
There was a long pause, why was it, her stoic friends that said three words at the most always seemed to talk alot when she was around and was sad?
She sighed, shrugged, and nodded, looking over at Kakashi, who simply nodded and went back to reading his book, atleast she was going to help train someone.
Pain,Rejection,Crying, these were experiences I never wanted to experience, however, these things will always be a permenant part of me and any attempts to get rid of them are futile.

Nikki`s Secret Revealed: Part 1 by Nikki_Yaoi
Nikki watched closely at each movement Sasuke made...he was fast, Nikki knew Kakashi was going to teach Sasuke how to use Chidori. She wanted to be there to see it happen, mabye put her secret weapon up against his new one.
Kakashi looked towards Nikki and Gaara, it wasn`t suprising that Gaara hadn`t said anything, but Nikki? She looked so focused, of course, the only time Kakashi had actually trained with Nikki was when she had wanted to try the Bell Test and Chijou had forced him to let her. He remembers how she got the bell, she didn`t attack him head on like most had.
She had made multiple clones and made them all use the same jutsu, distracting him for a moment when the real her dashed near him, grabbing a bell, of course, then they started to spar, because Kakashi had wanted to see her fighting skills.
She lost, its seemed that she had problems hurting people who she had come to love and respect, that was her one true weakness.
Kakashi founds himself hit upside the head, knocking him out of his state of intense thinking and staring.
Nikki and Sasuke were glaring at him, "You do realize you are suppose to be teaching Sasuke-kun chidori about now, right?"
There was a long unnerving silence.
"How did you know?" Kakashi asked.
"Simple," Nikki started, "You`re the only one who can teach him the move, and that is why you didn`t train Naruto."
Sasuke stared at her then at Kakashi, then to Gaara who was behind them, then back to Nikki. "To think, everytime we spar I win, you should use your brain more often," Sasuke stated, smirking.
"Who was the one who passed the bell test using their brains instead of strength, Sasuke? Oh ya, it was me," Nikki laughed.
Kakashi sighed, "Nikki, what were you thinking and why do you want me to teach him Chidori, like right now?"
"Simple, I want to show him I can kick his ass even when he has that technique, I have a few tricks up my sleeves...well, I don`t have sleeves, but you get the idea..." Nikki muttered.
"Next time you say that, make sure you aren`t wearing that silly tube top, you`re the only chunnin I`ve ever seen wear a black tube top, even in the winter, you`re lucky I`m not a pervert Nikki-chan," Kakashi said.
Gaara, Sasuke, and Nikki stared at Kakashi like he was growing an arm out of his head, Nikki snatched Kakashi`s Icha Icha Paradise book and waved it in front of him, "Kakashi-sensei, you do realize that these are the most perverted books ever, right? I don`t know why Jiraiya-sama bothers writing these."
Sasuke smirked as Nikki said that, "You know, I`m pretty sure I found a few of those books in your room when I went in, looking for you, I also found your diary, I never knew you had such... kinky thoughts."
"..." Nikki`s eyes were wide open and her face was turning crimson, she scurried back over to Gaara, starting to play around with her bangs, a things she only did when nervous or embarassed.
Kakashi was laughing, finding the normally cool Nikki looking as if she was about to blow with embarassment.
Gaara glared at them, his glare was just scary, one that rivaled the Uchiha's and Nikki's. "Train.Now.Or Else...." Gaara hissed.
Sasuke and Kakashi got back to training quickly.
Gaara looked over at Nikki, smiling weakly, as if trying to comfort his one and only friend, knowing a small smile from him brightened up her day.
Nikki hugged Gaara, "KAWAII!" she squealed, only to get stares from Kakashi and Sasuke.
Nikki was still clinging to Gaara as she watched Kakashi teach Sasuke how to use Chidori, and if you didn`t know Nikki and Gaara, you`d think they were together, yes, and it sickened Nikki that someone would actually think that... sorta, kind of, okay, not really, Gaara was adorable. Great, now she sounded like Jessica.
"Training is over, get to sleep," Kakashi muttered in a lazy voice.
They all nodded and went of to bed, well, besides Gaara, who sat watching Nikki as she drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
Tommorow they would learn of Nikki`s true power.
My secret will be revealed to them, and I`ll show my worth as a kunoichi, a kunoichi of Konoha.
