A/N: Time for another chapter...

Life-Chapter Two- Reunited

In a flash the kunai and shuriken fell to the ground in halves. He
was standing there with his katars crossed. "Tatsuya, I know I was
a little too harsh on you...I'm sorry. I just didn't realize it was
you. Please come down...I want to see my sister..." He sat down,
cross legged, waiting for her.

"Now you owe me, two Kunai, three shuriken, and a hug." she said
as she jumped from the tree and tackled him. She hugged him quickly
then sat cross legged in front of him. "Why were you so harsh" She
asked. "It hurt you know." she said looking at the ground and
picking up half a shuriken and playing with it.

Kame looked at the ground. "I missed you, sis...I was just shocked
that one of my students was deceiving me for so long, and was really
a Jounin...I'm sorry." He looked up at her, smiling, then
laughed. "You know what? I told Sasuke that you had something to
tell him...I don't know if you want to yet, so I'll leave it up to
you." He could barely contain his joy, and tears began to well up
in his eyes.

"I'll tell him later" she said looking back up at him.
"Don't cry big brother" she said in a comforting way. "Beside
Jounins don't cry." she laughed teasingly. She then stood up and
stretched... "Now, can you please replace my weapons you so joyfully
destroyed." she said looking down at him. She kicked at a few of the
pieces and threw the piece of shuriken she had at a tree, where it
stuck in the bark.

She walked over to the tree and pulled it out. "This could still be
used." she said looking at it and throwing it at Kame, knowing he
would dodge it or break it more...

He caught the piece of shuriken in one hand. "If you haven't
noticed, I'm not like other Jounin...Ever since Mom and Dad were
killed, I've devoted my skills as a shinobi to protecting those
close to me..." he said, drying his eyes"I'm only crying because
I'm overjoyed to finally know you're back. And you really should
tell Sasuke soon...when he sees you in those clothes he'll get
suspicious."

"I see." she said looking at him She walked over to him and hugged
him once more. "I'm glad to be back" she said softly. "And your
right I really should go tell Sasuke, he has every right to know,
even though he has never known of an older sister." she said looking
at the ground.. "This is going to be tough for me to do, you know."
She sighed and turned to walk away... "Where is he" she asked as
she stopped in her tracks and turned to Kame.

"He's at the ramen shop, I think. I ran into him...literally." He
laughed.

"Oh yeah, here's some of my kunai and shuriken, you can
have them." He reached into a pouch and pulled out the number of
kunai and shuriken he destroyed, and handed them to her.

"Thanks" she said taking the Kunai and Shuriken and placing them in
their rightful spots... She smiled at Kame before speaking"Please
come with me." she said then turned around and headed to the Ramen
shop.

A little bit later, Tatsuya arrived at the Ramen shop. She quickly
took a seat next to Naruto, who was still eating. She honestly
didn't want to be there, but she knew she had to confront Sasuke,
and everyone else. She sighed, waiting to be noticed, she knew Kame
would say something as soon as he arrived, he always had a big mouth, so she just waited for him...

Kame arrived at the ramen shop shortly after Tatsuya. He noticed
all the people there and thought, Hmm...Maybe she should just break
the news to Sasuke, and tell the others later. I don't want them to
see Sasuke's reaction. He then tapped Sasuke on the shoulder.

"Hey, brother, sorry about the wait. Tatsuya and I want to talk to you...in private, if that's alright
with you." He backed off a little, waiting for an answer.

Sasuke blinked then fixed Kame with a curious stare.

"What" He leaned back in his chair to look over at Tatsuya who sat on the other side of Naruto.

"What is it you need to talk to me about" he
inquired.

Tatsuya stood up and walked over to Sasuke"Me." she replied and
grabbed his arm dragging him off, away from other people.

At that moment Sakura was approaching the Ramen stand and saw
Tatsuya dragging Sasuke by the arm.

"Hey! What are you doing to Sasuke-Kun" she yelled at Tatsuya.

"Shut up and mind your own business, girl." Tatsuya snapped back and
continued to drag Sasuke away.

Kame just watched them, a blank expression on his face. I didn't
think she would be that forceful. He thought as he quickly
followed them.

"Oi! Matte yo (Hold on/Wait)" Sasuke exclaimed as Tatsuya
manhandled him. "What do you think you're doing? Let me go" The
younger ninja struggled in the older girl's arms."

"Hey, don't you snap at Sakura-Chan like that" Naruto said to her,
suddenly up on his feet. He didn't care if Tatsuya was older; no one
talked to his Sakura like that!

Kakashi sighed and stood up. It was still too early in the morning
for so much excitement. "Okay, calm down. All of you." He shot
Tatsuya a questioning stare. "What's going on here"

She kept hold of Sasuke, ignoring Naruto. She looked at Kakashi and
sighed. "I need to speak to Sasuke alone, with Kame. It's of an
important matter that does not yet include all of you." she said
calmly then proceeded to drag Sasuke away.

"Don't struggle and make your self look like a foolish weakling."
She said to where only Sasuke could hear her.

Naruto stared at Kakashi, as if waiting to see how he'd react to
Tatsuya's blatant disregard for everyone else. But then Kakashi
merely shrugged his shoulders and sat back down to finish up his
noodles.

"All right then" he said to them. "If it's that important to you."

Naruto's jaw hung wide open. Just like that, Kakashi dropped it?

Sasuke relaxed and looked away, apathetic to the whole
situation. "All right. Fine."

She loosened her grip on Sasuke, barely hanging on to him, but
guiding him to a more private place to talk. She looked behind to
make sure Kame was following. When they arrived at the spot she took
of her mask and looked at him. "I want to ask you something... Look
at my face carefully. Who do you see" she asked, not knowing any
other way to start the conversation.

"I see a person who interrupted my meal" Sasuke said to her. But
when he finally got a good look at her real face, he froze. Then,
after his hesitation, he shook his head, thinking that his mind was
playing tricks on him. Or that she was.

"I hope you didn't drag me over here just so I could compliment you
on your looks, because you won't be getting any from me" he said to
Tatsuya, matter-of-factly.
