SUGOE!!! That was so c00!!! anyway, lets see what I can do with another chapter. Hoping I don't get hit by a flying turd as I write this. Still don't own naruto. (angrily shakes fist.

It was an odd development that my mother had not asked me about how I lost my left eye. I would have thought that the patch would have been a dead give away, Sakura noticed it immediately, I could tell from the look in her eyes, but as kind as she is I guess she didn't want to be rude and ask. It was then that she lost control of her emotions like most girls her age do.

When Sakura had finally calmed down enough to actually put words together and make coherent sentences, we came down stairs to enjoy the feast mom had prepared. It was delicious, and though my stomach had shrunk from the lack of hearty meals over the last years, I still had thirds. Of course I was bombarded by questions about what I had been doing and what it was like. And I tried to answer them to the best of my ability, but since the mission consisted of me mostly working with ANBU, most of it was a secret. Being a Jounin sure isn't easy, but hey, I manage. Sakura looks at me with a devilish grin, knowing that I could never keep anything from her, and so after dinner was over, I told her a little bit more than what I had told the rest of the family. Not enough to get me into trouble, but just enough so that she'd be satisfied.

"So," Sakura started, "you're still wearing that same outfit I see."

"yep" there was noting really wrong with my clothes, it just didn't look very Konoha-like. I wore a simple outfit of a long sleeve under armor shirt under a plain white t-shirt, black pants with pockets on the knees and my kung fu shoes. I also wore red prayer beads on my right wrist, but that's more or a special keep sake than a fashion statement.

"Well, tell me everything."

I just shook my head,

"you know that I can't tell you everything."

She looked a little upset by this, no wonder why really.

"So after all this time, your not going to tell your sister what you've been doing. Just going to keep me in the dark."

"No, fine. I'll tell you the most I can without going to jail for it. Is that alright with you?"

I sighed and shook my head again as she smiled and nodded. She won again! Oh well.

"So," I said, picking her up and sitting her on the bed, "where should I begin?"

Thinking about it for a bit,

"How about the beginning, that always seems to be the best place to start something."

"are you getting smart with me young lady?"

She gave me her best innocent smile and pretended to be taken aback with that statement,

"What me? Why I would never, Jubei-nisan."

I couldn't hold it in, and just laughed as hard as I could. God I missed these times, its good to be back home.

"Alright then, the beginning. Well, first the earth cooled, and then came the dinosaurs, but they got too big and fat so they turned into oil."

"Hey!!" Sakura interrupted, laughing at my little story.

"What? Please don't tell me you've heard that one, cause that would just be bad. And then I'll have to start from some other time in history and who knows where that could wind us up in."
Sakura just enjoyed the joke for a little bit, hugging me.

"you never will change, will you?"

"Probably not."

"Same smart ass brother, but you know what?"

"What?"

"I still love you." And squeezed a little harder.

I pulled her away and looked into her eyes, then smiled a playfully evil smile.

"What?" she said nervously.

"I bet you haven't changed much either, have you?"

"What do you m… oh no. no, no, no, no!! don't you dare." She started backing away slowly in fear. "Jubei!! Don't…" She'd never get to finish that sentence as she shrieked with laughter when I moved behind her faster than she could react and tickled her sides.

"yep," I said over her wails, "same old Sakura."

Tears began to fall down her face, and she started having trouble breathing from the torture her older brother was applying to her. I stopped just before she peed her pants, don't need to clean that up now do we? She was still giggling a little as she crawled back onto the bed.

"so now were even." I said.

She crawled up next to me and snuggled up into me. Picking her up, I let her sit on my lap and just cuddle there.

"I've really missed you, Jubei-nisan."

"I know."

"I really love you."

"I know."

"So… tell me everything you can, please."

"Alright, well, my mission started the day I left home, six years ago. My team and I were to head north to see if we could…"

She stayed in my arms that whole night as I told her the story of my adventure, trials and tribulations of my mission. I told her as much as I could, I trust her, and I know her well enough that even under torture she wouldn't tell anyone about the secrets we shared. I think that's why we got along so well. Well for what ever reason, all I know is that morning, when I had finally finished telling her all I had to tell her, we fell asleep together on her bed. And it was the most restful sleep I had in years.

Sakura and I fell asleep together, not knowing that someone was watching us, well I knew but chose to ignore it, namely Naruto and Sasuke. Turning their heads, they gave each other a nod and jumped down off the tree. Naruto running to the back door and Sasuke running toward the front, Naruto waited for Sasuke to give him the signal. Sasuke knocked on the door and kept Sakura's mother busy while flicking up a shiny piece of metal, signaling to naruto to go in. Naruto entered the house as quietly as he could, sneaking his way up to sakura's room. He moved with great stealth for a gennin, and ultimately made his way into Sakura's room. He was surprised to find her sleeping alone, I didn't think it would be the best time to let anyone else know I was here.

"Where did he go? Did he notice me coming?"

Now normally this is where I would come out and surprise the genin, but I needed to know what this boy wanted with my sister so early in the morning. So hidden in the shadows I remained.

"oy. Oy Sakura! Wake up." Naruto started nudging Sakura to try and wake her.

What happened next will forever remain in naruto's memories. Sakura turned over to try to keep sleeping a little longer, but as she woke a little with her adjustment, she remembered that Jubei had finally come home. So she did what came natural to her, quickly turning back around she wrapped her arms around who she believed was her brother,

"I love you" and kissed him on the cheek.

'oh, am I going to love nagging her about this one' I thought to myself.

Regardless of what anyone told him there after, he could never accept that she didn't mean that about him. Now most people would agree that sending this poor boy out the window head first was a little harsh, but there's not much we can do about the way Sakura reacts with other boys.

"Oy Sakura, don't you think that was a little too much, I mean, the window?"

"yeah well, he shouldn't have been in my room this early with out my permission." Patting her on the head,

"well now that you got that out of your system, why don't you go down there and find out what he wanted? You owe him that much at least."

Sakura just pouted a little,

"why do I have to apologize to him?"

"I didn't say apologize to him, I said find out what he wanted."

"Fine!! Wait a minute while I take care of this."

"that's a good girl" and I gave her a warm smile that melted her heart and made her feel a whole lot better about having to talk to Naruto.

Watching the events unfold from her window I noticed 2 things right away,

One, Naruto was not having the greatest time on his back after falling 3 stories from Sakura's room. and two, I wasn't the only one watching.

"Why?"

"we may never know" replied Sasuke, helping up his comrade.

"I think I may have broken something"

"well at least we know it not your head, not with that thick skull of yours"

Naruto gave Sasuke a look, the 'not funny' look.

Sakura had come down from her room to find Sasuke holding Naruto up. Surprisingly enough, guilt came over her.

"Sorry"

Naruto looked back at her and blushed remembering her words,

"i-its ok, really."

"I'm really sorry, I thought you were my brother."

What? Both Naruto and Sasuke were shocked at this new development. Brother?

"Sakura," spoke Sasuke, "you have a brother?"

"yep!" she said beaming.

"How come you never mentioned him before?"

"well, you never asked. And well he was away on a mission for the last six years"

"Six years?" asked Naruto

"Yeah, he had some crazy mission that took way longer than he expected."

"Is he any good?"

"Naruto!!" snapped Sasuke

"what!? I just want to know if he's any good. What wrong with that?"

"Because if I know you, you'll challenge him to a duel the first chance you get"
Naruto didn't say anything but just smiled at the thought of challenging someone new and showing off.

"Forget it Naruto." Came Sakura, "my brother's an elite Jounin. I bet even Kakashi-sensei would have trouble beating him, IF he could beat him."

Sakura was beaming again, she obviously had a lot of pried in her older brother.

"Speaking about Kakashi-sensei," interrupted Sasuke, "you never showed up for today meeting."

"OMG!! I completely forgot, is there still time to make it?" Sakura was starting to panic a little.

"no its not too late, because we'll just be having the meeting here." Came Kakashi's voice from the roof of Sakura's house.

"Kakashi-sensei, Gomen!! I forgot about the meeting today, you see my brother just got back and…"

"oooh, your brother huh? I didn't know you had a brother, what's his name?"

"Jubei."

"what?" Kakashi's eyes went a little dark after hearing his name. "no way, but… could it be?"

From behind Kakashi, I taped him on the shoulder,

"I'm afraid she's telling the truth, Kakashi-kohai"

Kakashi turned as quickly as he could, kunai in hand, but he missed his target completely, being that I had his kunai in my hand now.

"still jumpy aren't you." I said smilling.

"n-no way, you can't be, I mean, your clothes are the same but…"

Sakura was confused beyond all,

"kohai? Underclassman? How? What's going on Jubei-nisan?"

Still smilling, I turned to Sakura,

"Sakura-chan, would you go make some tea for our guest? It seems you and I are not the only one I must catch up with."

Thank fully for me, Sakura had gone inside with Naruto and Sasuke, before Kakashi could finish his sentence.

"…but… you died. You can't be alive"

I look him cold dead in the eye,

"I never said I was, now did i?"
