A guilty looking Ruine sat by a very pissed off Naruto, she hed her hand over her burning scar. Pain surged through her as the scar reopened and blood spilled over her hands, and down her face, staining the pretty jade shirt she had chosen to wear today. Ruine looked at Naruto who only glared in return. She stared back at her curse seal, the burden she was forced to bear. So much hate and betrayal.

--------------------------------------------

"No! Let me go! I don't belong here!" A young blonde girl was being dragged in by Kabuto then thrown infront of Orochimaru.

"Here she is .We grabbed her after she got out of a fight with Gaara. So what're you going to do with her Orochimaru-sama?"

The young blonde stood up and scratched Orochimaru as he bent down to pull her upright. Her face expression spoke for her. But hell, she spoke anyways, "Where is Hintina Henako and Moon Kasumi?"

"Heheh, why are you looking for such dangerous people?" Orochimaru ansered her question with his own.

The girl reached into her kunai pouch but her hand was caught by Kabuto, and held in a very tight grip. She winced in pain. She stared up at Orochimaru, who was now smirking evilly. Her crystal blue eyes filled with tears as she fell to her knees. Her wrist was released as she sat on her knees and sobbed herself until she couldn't breath anymore. "You b-b-bastard. give me my friends back or..."

"Or what?"

"I'LL KILL YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS! BELIEVE ME! I AM UZUMAKI RUINE! AND NONE OF MY FRIENDS ARE EVER GOING TO BE IN DANGER WHILE I'M AROUND YOU BASTARD!" The girl stood up, her crystal eyes no longer filled with tears, but they looked like tiger eyes. The gash Gaara had given Ruine on the cheek bled openly now, but the crimson liquid only made her hatred for Orochimaru grow.

Without warning, Ruine charged towards Orochimaru, but was easily blocked by Kabuto. Ruine's eyes filled with more hatred. She glared at Kabuto, which made him flinch, a smal twitch, but she made him flinch nonetheless. She charged forth and dug her nails into his stomach, a huge blast of chakra coming out of nowhere and throwing him against a nearby tree. She then turned to Orochimaru who was standing infront of the two limps bodies of Kasumi and Henako. She watched as he kicked their limp bodies out of his way, tehn walk on, as if he wasn't even interested in their abilties anymore. Before she knew it, she lost control and charged after him, getting caught and pinned and marked on her right arm. She was leaving for Konohagakure, to tell Tsunade the unfortunate fate that had befallen her. And she dragged Hintina Henako of the sound and Moon Kasumi of the sand with her.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Say something to your brother Ruine." Tsunade smiled sweetly towards Ruine.

Ruine fought back the urge to hug and cry Tsunade just as she had done eight years ago. Tusnade felt her pain and walked over to her and patted her on the shoulder. She smiled even sweeter and jerked her head towards Naruto, who was about to rip his own hair out, or acted as though. Ruine closedher eyes and fought back tears again as she stood and walked over to Naruto.

"Naruto, I-" Ruine was stopped short by a sharp uprise of Naruto's hand.

"No! Do not talk to me. HEY! Why'd you hit me for, Tsunade?"

"Naruto, listen to me. I can explain as to why I refused to show my face for the past eight years! I was raised in Sunagakure as you may know. I became a part of Sunagakure even though it wasn't my birthplace. I became a chunin there. I still live there, and I will always live there. I'm sorry for always keeping myself hidden from you but not your friends. Tsunade and Shizune-neechan thought it would be wise to keep me away for just a bit longer." Ruine smiled faintly. "Here we are, though, now we're reunited. We're back together again, no one can change that right, Naru-?"

Naruto suddenly hugged Ruine out of nowhere. Tears filling his own perfect blue eyes. Ruine couldn't help herself this time, she sobbed right along with Naruto. Sasuke stopped to see them embracing each other. He smirked at them, he even had the nerve to walk up and watch as the color drained from Ruine's face as she still continued to sob on Naruto's shoulder. They were surrounded by their friends. Naruto and Ruine still held each other in an embrace.

'All this time, I had a sister. And all this time, she knew about me, but she never showed her face.' Naruto thought as he sperated from Ruine's arms. they didn't care what everyone else thought at the moment. they only knew each others' presnce at this moment in time.

"Naruto, from this moment I will keep no secrets from you ever again." Ruine sighed. "and my first secret is... Naruto," she drew closer to his ear, "Love is the spirit of devoting yourself to someone imortant and close to you...It is expressed by caring for and protecting that person. Gaara-kun told me this. And Sasuke kissed me underneath the same sakura tree that Gaara-kun did."

Neh, this is all I have for today,er, tonight, whatever. I get caught up working on my fraking story, I completely forget the fraking time. I'm about to pass out here on this damned computer. Anywho, -Damn, teh teacher thing came up again!- I wonder how Peguin is doing. Peguin is my best friend's boyfriend and he's one of my "cousin friends". We call him peguin Sasuke because he waddles like a peguin and acts and looks (mind you) like Sasuke. Bleh, I'mgetting sleepy! (yawns and shuffles off to bed at 5:37 in the morning). P.S. Please ognore all teh fraking spelling error, it's getting kinda hard to type correctly when your eyes are going every which way other than teh keyboard!
