As soon as they were in Konohagakure, Kyle couldn't get rid of the giant smile on his face.
"What's up with him?" Haku whispered.
"He lived here, and he's been missing it." Timari said. "I feel bad about it."
"Why?" Haku asked.
"I'm the one that dragged him off. Or, rather, suggested Gaara drag Kyle off." Temari said.
"He didn't seem that unhappy. All-in-all, he seems a happy guy, and I don't think he's angry at you." Haku said. "How did he go blind?"
"Kyle? We don't know for sure." Temari said. "He doesn't talk about it."
"Kyle has a title." Haku said. "The blind copycat."
"He'd probably like to know that." Temari said.
"Alright." Haku said, and walked up to Kyle, who had lowered his headband around his neck to see Konohagakure. "Hey, Kyle."
"'Sup?" Kyle asked.
"Did you know you have a title?" Haku asked. "The blind copycat."
Kyle laughed. "That's pretty cool. Hey, it's my friends!"
Aneko, Naruto, and Sakura ran up to Kyle, followed by Kakashi, who was walking behind them, nose in a book. But, all of them but Aneko stopped when they saw Haku.
"You!" Naruto asked.
"Huh?" Kyle asked.
"You died," Sakura said.
"No, I didn't. Got blinded, though." Kyle said.
"Not you. Haku." Kakashi said.
Kyle turned and looked at Haku. "Um...What? I met her in the forest, and she helped me kill some guys who attacked the Kazekage."
"He's not lying." Gaara said, followed by his siblings.
"Maybe I should explain myself. I didn't know your friends were in Team 7." Haku said. "My personal hero was Haku, and when I met him I looked like him and had the same name. When he died, I styled myself after him. Sorry for the confusion."
"That's an odd thing to do." Aneko said.
Kyle covered his eyes with his headband, and said "I think we're all odd here, really. Soo...now that you're done shouting at my friend, can we eat some ramen? I couldn't get any in the sand village."
"Sure. Maybe you can tell us what you were doing recently." Sakura smiled.
"I didn't do much, actually. I learned some sand jutsu, but not much else." Kyle said. "I got this sweet headband right before I left, actually."
"Who was it from? It's got the same sign as our headbands." Aneko said.
"You got one of the headbands?" Kyle asked.
"Yeah. I use it as an armband." Aneko said. Kyle quickly lowered his headband again, and saw she, indeed, had the headband on her arm.
"Cool," Kyle said, and handed Sakura his letter. "It's the only one I got to reply to. Sorry about your letter, Annie. Temari kept me from reading it, and I didn't get time to read it on the way here." Kyle lied.
"It's okay." Aneko smiled. "So, you and Temari are close?"
"Yeah. She's kinda like a big sister that teases you. Well, I think she is. I don't know what a sister's like." Kyle shrugged, and felt Temari stare daggers in his back. "Hey, you guys go to the ramen stand with Haku. I need to tell Temari what's up."
"Don't take long." Aneko smiled.
"And don't forget to pay!" Naruto laughed.
When they left, Temari walked up to Kyle.
"Why'd you lie to Aneko?" Temari asked.
"I dunno." Kyle shrugged.
"So, how do you feel about her?" Temari asked.
"I don't know." Kyle said.
Temari smiled, and tousled his hair. "It's good you think I'm like a big sister. I never got to mess with Gaara. Well, I gotta go. They already left. See you, Kyle." Temari said.
"Bye Temari." Kyle smiled, and walked to the ramen shop.
