Chapter Three- Reactions

"Sasuke, I'm serious." she said in a very serious tone. "Who do
you see" she asked again as she quickly glanced at Kame giving him
a look that said help.

Kame caught her glance. "Sasuke, you didn't know that I was your
older brother until just recently, right? Well, you have another
sibling that you didn't know about...The girl, standing in front of
you, is our sister." He looked at Sasuke with an expressionless
face...

Sasuke took a step back from the two of them. No! It couldn't be
true!

"Uso... uso da! (Lie... it's a lie)" Sasuke said, his tone just
barely above a whisper. The corner of his lip turned up into a
snarl. "It's a lie"

But she looks just like okaasan said a small voice that came from
deep inside of his mind.

He shook his head. "No! Brother killed them all! Besides, I never
even knew this girl before the chuunin exams even started! You
expect me to believe you now? I was all alone for all these years,
and you spring this up on me now"

Sasuke felt his anger begin to rise. "First Kame, and now you! Don't
go thinking I'll just accept you with open arms. You'll get nothing
of the sort from me"

A single tear rolled down her cheek, but she quickly wiped it
away. I knew it. I knew he wasn't going to accept this...why did I
even come back... she thought as she stared at him.

"...I guess it was a waste of my time to even come back to Konoha. I only came back because I cared for you; I didn't want you to be alone. Even though I had never met you before... All those years, I dreamed of being with my little brother, I would stare at the pictures Okaasan sent me of you. Wishing I could be here with my family... You try being
sent away at a young age, leaving your family and all that you loved
behind, to be forgotten..." She continued to look at Sasuke. "It's
not a very good feeling... and if you want I can leave, and you can
be like Itachi to me...Non-existent." she looked at him with an
expressionless face...

She pulled two pictures out of her pocket and handed them to Sasuke.
One picture was of her, Kame and their mother, and the other of
Sasuke and their mother. "Keep them." she said as she turned and
walked away while pulling up her mask.

Sasuke let the pictures fall to the ground. How dare she"If you
cared about me so much... if you wanted to see me so bad... you
would have come back sooner, not left me to rot all by myself for
all these years" he shouted, still very angry at her for trying to
just magically become a part of his life again.

His hands at his side clenched into tight fists and began to
tremble slightly from the force of his own grip. "As far as I'm
concerned, I am the last Uchiha! I alone am going to restore my
family's honor"

She stopped in her track after what he said. She turned around tears
in her eyes"I tried..." she said "I honestly tried. You don't
know what I've been through to get here..." she took a few steps
towards him tears running down her cheeks. "I knew it would be hard
for you to accept." she said wiping her tears away.

"Please, Sasuke, give me a chance..." she said as she took a few more
steps and hugged him."Please." she said softly still hugging
him becoming unusually desperate.

"HANASE! (Let go)" Sasuke said, breaking free of her hug. "Why
should I give you a chance" he said to her, glaring daggers at
Tatsuya. "When you never even bothered to give me one. Just go
away... I'm sure a jounin like you has better things to do than hang
off of genin's like me."

He shot her a knowing look. "It wasn't hard to find out. Now please
leave."

"Just a little brat." she mumbled then walked away as if nothing
happened. He'll come around; I just need to give him time to
accept it. She thought as she walked away back towards the ramen
shop.

Kame just gave him a cold look. "Humph! Selfish..." He turned his
back to Sasuke, and started walking away. "Come see me when you
realize the world doesn't revolve around you...Until then, you're
not my brother. I as well as Tatsuya have hurt as much as you...and
you shouldn't push people away like that. It hurts everyone, and I
know it hurts you, too. Unless you have no heart..." He walked
away in disgust to the ramen shop.

"Che" Sasuke went on his way, having lost his
appetite. "Hypocrites. They say I think the world revolves around
me? But it's those two that are trying to push themselves into my
life like they belong there."

He hated people like that, people who just wouldn't mind their own
damn business.

"What was that" asked Naruto, who was passing by with a full
backpack.

"None of your business" Sasuke replied flatly. He looked at his
fellow team mate curiously. "What's all that for? Are going out to
train"

"Yeah. I'm gonna try to find that erosennin and get him to teach me
something. Well, bye." Naruto leapt up onto a nearby rooftop and
disappeared.

Sasuke, with both hands in his pockets, headed off to find Kakashi-
sensei.

Tatsuya sighed and muttered random things to herself as she walked to
the ramen shop. When she arrived she noticed Sakura was still there.
She looked at her and Sakura shot a dirty look at her. Tatsuya
simply shrugged and ignored her, then ordered some ramen. 'Such a
horrible day.' she thought, feeling depressed.

Kame got back to the ramen shop, and sat down next to Tatsuya. He
looked at her, seeing how depressed she was.

"Hey...It needed to be
done. He had to know about you, there wasn't any other way..." He
dropped his head to the counter, depressed as well.

"I take it the two of you finally confronted him and told him"
Kakashi inquired, still seated in the same spot at the ramen cart.
The older ninja looked at the two of them with his one,
unblocked eye. "And I take it that it didn't go so well."

Tatsuya sighed and looked over at Kakashi... "Heh, it went
horrible. But what do you expect from him? I knew he wouldn't take
to it very well." she sighed again and looked at Kame... "I don't
know what to do anymore."

Kakashi studied Tatsuya's features for a brief moment. It was
hard to tell what the instructor was thinking, especially with the
mask that he wore.

After a pause, Kakashi said to her"Well, I suppose that it's
understandable that he took it poorly. That's just how Sasuke is. I
can see how you must be feeling, but let me ask you this... did you
ever consider for just a minute how Sasuke himself must feel
regarding all this? You did just drag him off and tell him out of
the blue."

Kame sat up and looked at Kakashi and Tatsuya. "What other way was
there...I mean, he knew you, right sis? The only thing he didn't
know was that you were his sister..." He put his head on the
counter and wrapped his arms around it again. "Hell...He hasn't
welcomed me yet, either, and it's been a few months since I
returned...I don't know what to do either..."

Tatsuya sighed deeply before speaking. "It really wasn't my idea of
telling him yet. I was more or less forced and rushed into it."
She said glancing over at Kame.

"Forced" Kakashi tilted his head to the side and looked at Tatsuya
curiously with his one open eye. "What makes you say that" he
asked. "What do you mean by 'forced?' You're saying that
something... or SOMEONE made you do this"

"Yes... it was my dear sweet brother, Kame." she said not sounding
to please. She looked back at Kakashi and sighed. "What have I
done" she asked as she put her head down...
