Chapter 3- Half of One Whole

"Kyo, we're here" she said softly into his ear. A man with black hair and crystalline green eyes resembling Sumei's came out. "Hey little sis."

"Come on in Sumei" The man beconed while waking into the house. Sumei followed looking around cuiously, she saw many animals; dogs, cats, horses, and a few birds of differant exotic colors in differant containments , oddly the house smelled like no one lived in it.

"So what has my little sis been up to these days?" asked the man through a long hallway. "Well, it seems you were right about him otherwise I wouldn't be here my sweet brother" Sumei put on a mock smile watching her brother.

"It seems like you're village needs the...you know...second one?" Sumei instantly began her investigation of the village's welfare. "Is that right, Koi?" Sumei smirked as his body went jagged. Koi turned toward her slowly with his eyes closed, "Sumei, you know I hate that god forsaken name..."

Sumei lost interest in what her older brother was saying quicky and went to look at Kyo who was playing with an icicle. "Kyo where did you get that?" asked Sumei taking it out of his hands and eyeing it up curiously. "I don't know it was just...there in my hand" Sumei could see that Kyo was struggling with his words .

"Kyo, I think its time for bed" Koi was looking at Kyo with a crooked smile on his face "So you are the famous Kyo, your mommy has told me alot about you, I'm your uncle..uh.. Koi, you'll be living with me from now on okay?" Koi ruffled his nephew's hair. Kyo looked at him suspitiously

"Koi isn't your real name-" "Kyo time for bed, up stairs now" Sumei quicky cut in. Kyo sighed and walked upstairs slowly trying to catch other parts of the conversation.

"Sharp kid you've got there, he'll make a great ninja someday" Koi whispered to Sumei. Sumei proceeded to punch her older brother in the arm, "If you say anything about being a ninja to him, I will personally kill you" Sumei answered fiercely.

Koi put his hands up to 'protect' himself from his all-powerful little sister, "He's going to be so happy to have a little sibling in a couple of, what, weeks?" Sumei nodded

"...D-Do you think that the second child will end up being mine?" She asked nervously. "...Maybe, you'd better be careful though, I dont want to have to take care of two obstreperous children by my self," Koi responded trying to lighten up theconversation.

Sumei nodded again and began to walk up the stairs when she turned around quickly and stared her brother in the eye. "I don't want to do what our mother did, but.." Sumei turned her head from her older brother "..I will if they ask" Sumei continued on her way up the rest of the stairs.

"Koi!" Sumei had been chasing her brother around the house for more then twenty minutes trying to take a letter from him. "No way Sumei!" Koi ran out of the house into the heavily winded sand. Sumei stopped chasing him there and walked over to one of the animal stalls along the side of the house.

A dog walked up to her and sniffed her hand "Hey there sweet girl" Sumei said in a sing song voice. Sumei looked down at the dog, she was all white with a brown spotted face and a slighty swollen stomache. "So you're in the same place as me huh?" Sumei asked the dog as she kneeled next to her to stroke her soft fur.

Sumei spent the remainder of the day talking to the dog who she had named Sioux. "Souie lets go out for a little while okay?" Sumei called happily to the wiggling dog before her.

They walked past many oddly shaped homes that weresimilar to Koi's "Suna sure is an oddly shaped place" giggled Sumei to Sioux who wagged her tail in reply. Sioux was the first thing in a long time Sumei could truely talk to, Kyo was to young to understand what was happening and Koi culdn't care less.

Sioux listened intently on Sumei's this and thats, critique about the village and other little things. They were walking through the market to find some food for dinner when-

Koi opened the letter he had stolen from his younger sister, it was from the Kezekage's office...

'What do you bastards want from my sister' He thought as he began to read it (1)

Dear Ms. Sumei Kasai,

Ms. Sumei, as you know, the village of Suna is not finantially doing well so the Kazekage has ordered for each shinobi's quality to be higher than others for Suna's own safety. He has begun human experementation, to create the ultimate weapon againced invasion, a child will be born within the next month with the abillity to do so, but, in order for the idea to come to life we need a child with your family's abillity. The second child is needed to balance the first and vise-versa, and from the information we have receved about you and your soon-to-be-child, he knows that you in your condition would be the best choice. Your husband has already agreed to the ideas Kagekage has, now all we need is your permition.

-please sign and return,

X

Koi quickly crushed the letter and threw it to the ground, 'You aren't getting Sumei'

BANG- Sumei walked right into a person carrying many bags that went flying in every direction, "Oh my, I am so sorry, I wasn't watching where i was going..." Sumei began stuttering as she picked herself ,and the bags the other person was carrying, up.

"No its alright, I should have been watching my step." said the brown-haired girl who had been knocked down. Sumei held out her hand to help the girl up "Its okay I've got it" she picked herself up and looked at Sumei with soft blue-green eyes. "I'm Sumei I'm really sorry for knocking you over" Sumei apologized again.

The girl giggled, lifting away Sumei's nervousness, the girl seemed only bit older than her-self "I'm Karura its nice to meet you" she held out her hand. Sumei noticed that she was also pregnant and about as far along as she was, "So... um... where were you heading?" Asked Sumei embarassed out of her witts, Karura smiled "I was just on my way to the market, and you?"

Sumei blushed for a moment, "I think I must be going in the wrong direction then, I was also on my way to get some things..." She said. "Maybe we coud walk together then?" Karura asked, Sumei nodded and they made their way down the street.

By the time they had reached their destination they had learned more about eachother than they knew about themselves. Karura was the fourth Kazekage's wife and was on the way with their third child. "Wow, i cant beieve I'm actually talking to the Kazekage's wife, thats so unexpected," Sumei giggled and took a step into the store.
