Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Rating: T for cursing…I'm a potty mouth.

Summary: Every families a bit odd, some more or less than others. The Uchiha's have never done anything in a lesser fashion. Sasunaru and a secret pairing to be unveiled in ch 2.

Warning: Yaoi, and I could seriously care less what you think about that.

Holy mother of all things juice like! It's the sequel! My God! Yeah. I realize its been a long time, but I got a good bit of this done during my winter break so I'm gunna try too keep getting these out, though less frequently than Calming Circles. I was thinking Sundays…Anyway it does seem like a lot of OC's in this chapter but they end up more background noise…I hope you enjoy! Lots of love

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.

"Karasu! Karasu!" Kaminari scrambled down the stairs and into the kitchen "Karasu!" The dark haired man looked up from his morning cup of tea to raise an eyebrow at the girl. "I can't find my head band!" she wailed franticly, her father sighed

"Where did you have it last." He asked calmly

"I don't know! If I did I wouldn't be looking for it!"

"Just think about it, where was it?" Kaminari bit her lip and thought

"It was on my nightstand last night. But it's not there now." She pulled on her hair "I know it was there but its not now!"

"Oh, Kaminari, I brought your headband down." Haruka entered from the living room tossing the headband at her. She caught it and scowled. "Karasu! Tell him not to touch my stuff!" She whined Sasuke rolled his eyes. Naruto walked into the room bright as always

"Morning ev-"

"Tell him not to touch my stuff!" Kaminari demanded pointing an accusing finger at her brother

"Don't touch your sister's things." Naruto said monotonously with a sigh. He glanced at the clock "You two should have left five minutes ago." And they were gone. Sasuke looked at Naruto and sighed

"And it begins."

Kenji stood waiting nervously; he was early, wanting to look like he was prepared. He took a deep breath trying to convince himself that his parents were right and he had no reason to be nervous. But it wasn't working; the thought of being pared with the Uchiha twins was intimidating. He had never really spoken to them in class; they were both quiet most the time and were always top students. Kenji had always been third in there class, which was probably why he had been put on their team but he wasn't confident that he could compete with either.

He tried to stay calm as he noticed two people walking his way, recognizing them as the Uchiha twins. The two arrived silently, looking at him and each other with cold glances. He averted his gaze to the ground hoping not to upset either.

"Morning shorties." Kenji glanced up to see the woman he had been told would be there teacher.

"Don't call me short." Haruka said coolly the woman rolled her eyes glancing at the boy's sister

"Good morning Ren." She said politely but just as cold as her brother. Kenji gulped so far his fears had been confirmed. Ren laughed

"Oh quite being so moody you two." She turned on her heel and began walking away "Hurry up and fallow me." The three Chunin fallowed behind her "Today I will test you to see if you are worthy of moving forward as ninja." She led them into Ichiraku and sat at the counter.

"Order fist then I'll explain some more." Haruka rose an eyebrow at her but ordered after his sister, Ren said nothing more until they got there food.

"Good now everyone tie your forehead protector over your eyes." All three did as they were told without hesitation "You will eat your ramen and count to 100 together. Only one may say a number at a time and if more than one of you speaks at once you have to start over. You may not just speak in a pattern. I will be paying attention and if you begin a pattern I will make you start again." She broke her chopsticks

"Ren Sensei, why are we doing this?" Kaminari asked breaking her own chopsticks

"Normally genin teams are composed of three students. Of each a high, normal, and low skill set. This year we have you three who are far more advanced than any of your class mates. So much so that they grouped you together to keep the others safe and you three from getting bored. We all know all three of you are capable ninja physically and mentally so it would be pointless to test you on those aspects of your skill set. Now count."

"One." The Uchiha twins spoke in unison

"Start over." There was a long silence as no one spoke before

"One." The Uchiha twins spoke again and Kaminari growled in frustration

"One." Kenji said quickly before either Uchiha had time to take another breath

"Two." Haruka put in right after there was a slight pause

"Three." Kaminari added Haruka listened carefully; Kenji had a mouthful of raman so he added

"Four."

"Five." Both Kaminari and Kenji said together

"Again." All three sighed, this would take a while.

It was only after four hours and counting to one hundred twice that Ren decided the team was ready to move on. She didn't allow them to take off their blindfolds as she walked them through the city finally stopping inside some building "Everyone sit." They did so and waited as Ren set everything up. "Okay." She handed each a string. "All of you are holding a string, it is tied to a piece of pipe sitting on top of that pipe is a ball. The ball is not very stable on top of that pipe. You are going to move this entire thing only holding your individual string. From here to the top of Hokage mountain. If the ball falls it will break and you will fail. You may ask no one for help and you may not speak once you are out of this building. Any questions?"

"Where exactly is here?" Kenji asked

"That's a very good question. See ya."

Kaminari browsed the books on the shelves half heartedly her mind drifting elsewhere. Haruka was deciding if he wanted to buy one when she bumped into someone

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean…" she trailed off as she looked up at the man before her. He had long black hair pulled back into a pony tail, he was milky pale and his eyes had heavy bags beneath them. Another man stood beside him towering over the girl considering her with dark eyes. She was entranced for a moment by the taller man's blue skin before the shorter man grabbed her arm. She glanced down at his hand, his nails covered in chipped purple polish. For a second she had a strange flash back of her parents looking at old albums, they were speaking about Karasu's brother and somehow managed to get from how old he was in a certain picture to wondering why he started painting his nails purple. She glanced back up at the man's face

"Ka-kami…" she heard her brother stutter behind her as she realized why the man seemed familiar. She screamed pulling back, by some miracle the man let go. And she turned on her heels scrambling from the book store with her brother, running into Ren and Kenji as they left.

"What the hell?" Ren asked as she got pushed out of the way

"Itachi." Haruka answered grabbing her wrist and pulling her along behind him, her eyes flickered back to the book store. She could see him through the window looking in their direction. Oh shit.
