"Shikamaru!" Sakura said. "Where did you come from?"

"I heard the fight, and came to help." Shikimaru said as Ino and Choji walked out from the forest.

"Who are these guys?" Choji asked.

"Who's this guy? He looks like Sasuke." Ino said.

Kyle rolled his eyes, wanting to say 'Next time somebody says I look like Sasuke I'm going to hit them.'

"What's wrong?" Sakura asked.

Kyle touched his throat, and pointed to Skinny.

"We were screeching at each other, using one of my jutsu. Trench coat's throat couldn't handle it." Skinny said, unable to move.

"How could he copy your jutsu?" Ino asked.

Kyle pointed at his eyes, showing that he had sharingan.

"He's an Uchiha? How's that possible?" Ino asked.

'When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much...' Kyle thought with a smirk.

"He's half Uchiha. His name is Kyle." Sakura said.

Kyle nodded.

"Let me heal your throat." Ino said.

"No, I'll do it." Sakura said.

"No, I will."

"I will!"

"No, I'm going to!"

Kyle put his face in his palm as the girls fought, then stood and stood between them. Kyle hit his hand against his palm three times, then made a fist, then flattened his hand, and, finally, made scissor motions.

"Oh! You want us to choose by using rock, paper, scissors!" Ino said.

Kyle nodded.

"Alright." Ino said.

Sakura grumbled that playing rock, paper, scissors was childish.

'Not as childish as fighting over who heals me.' Kyle thought.

"I win!" Sakura laughed.

"What happened to 'rock, paper, scissors is childish'?" Ino asked.

"Go pout, I win." Sakura said.

Kyle glared at her.

"Sorry, jeez." Sakura said. "Stand still."

Kyle did as she said, and in a few moments he could talk again.

"Thanks." Kyle said, smiling. "I'm Kyle Uchiha, as Sakura said, and I'm half Uchiha."

"Kyle is a weird name." Choji said.

"Yeah, and I look like Sasuke. I've heard these things before." Kyle said, looking at Shikamaru's team differently now that his throat wasn't on fire. 'Whoa! Ino's freakin' hot!' Kyle thought, then walked up to Skinny, who still wasn't moving.

"Why did you attack Sakura and me?" Kyle said, then corrected himself. "Sakura and I. 'Sakura and me' isn't correct grammar."

"You're a nutcase." Skinny said.

"Who else would wear a trench coat in such warm weather?" Kyle smiled. "Are you guys mercenaries or something?"

"No, we're fighting you because someone kidnapped my baby sister and said they wanted you dead or they'd kill her!" Purple shouted, crying.

"What's your name?" Kyle asked.

"Aneko." Purple said. Her eyes were a stunning brown.

"Alright, Aneko with purple hair. Where did they take her?" Kyle asked.

"My hair is lavender." Aneko said. "It's a common mistake saying that it's purple."

"Oh. Sorry. Your hair is a lovely color, honestly. It's a lot better than this dull brown hair I have. I mean, look at Sakura and Ino. They're hair looks so good, then you see me, with brown hair-" Kyle said.

"Thanks a lot, Kyle." Choji said. Shikamaru yawned, as if in agreement. But Kyle didn't even hear them; Sakura is the one that caused him to stop chatting to Aneko.

"Are you seriously talking to someone who tried killing you a few seconds ago?" Sakura asked.

"It doesn't sound like she has a choice, Sakura." Kyle said. "Aneko, do you know where your sister is?"

"No." Aneko said.

"Shikamaru, let them move around again." Kyle said.

"Alright. I was getting tired, anyways." Shikamaru said, letting the sound villagers go.

"Thanks." Aneko said.

"So, who took your sister?" Kyle asked.

"I did." Someone said, appearing in a cloud of smoke near where the others were standing. Kyle frowned.

"Half-brother! How's it going?" Kyle turned, smiling.

"You're not my brother!" Sasuke shouted. Kyle froze when he saw the little girl Sasuke was holding, a knife to her throat.

"You've gone crazy!" Sakura said.

Kyle clenched his fists, looking Sasuke straight in the eye. "What are you going to do, Sasuke?"

"Whatever I want." Sasuke said.

"Why are you doing this?" Kyle asked, hesitantly approaching Sasuke.

"I want you to say that you're not part of the Uchiha clan." Sasuke growled.

"What difference will it-" Kyle began.

"Say it!" Sasuke said, clenching the knife closer to the little girl's throat.

Kyle swallowed, then ran forward.
