Wahh… this chapter is edited! (I'm on an editing streak right now…got nothing better to do)

Hey guys! Thanks to my faithful reviewers: Kakashi's and Sasuke's and Gaara's and Itachi's Girl, Setsuna Hanajima, and shadow-5-girl! Ok, onward!

Disclaimer- I don't own Naruto -cries-

After a few moments, Hikari came back, her arm laden with towels. Sasuke nodded to show his thanks, and toweled himself off.

"Sasuke-kun, what did you want to talk about?" Hikari asked, sitting on her bed, watching Sasuke dry himself. Sasuke sighed.

I really don't want to tell her this… but I guess I have to. Sasuke thought, slightly irritated. Why does Kakashi always make me do the hard stuff?

"You are the princess and heir to Xin Jing," Sasuke began. (me: Xin Jing means 'Heart of Crystal'). "An evil Shinobi, Atanake Shoji, took over with his Dark Warriors, and so you were sent to Konoha." Sasuke looked at Hikari, who was sitting stock-still. Sasuke stood up worriedly. "Hikari, I—" Hikari stopped him with one blazing look.

"How do you know about that?" she demanded, a dangerous hint to her cold voice. "No one ever told me about my past… no one even knows. Only Johori-sensei!" Her gray eyes were shooting Sasuke blistering looks. Sasuke backed up, staring at her eyes. Hikari's eyes, which were normally a light, clear silver color, were now a piercing, blinding white. And three shockingly blue commas were swirling around in each eye.

Is this the Sharingan eye? Sasuke thought worriedly. It's so different than mine. He frantically backed up until his back was plastered against the wall. Hikari glanced at him, to the window, and then back to Sasuke. In an instant, she bounded away from him, out the window, and into the rain. Sasuke groaned, and giving one last, longing look at those innocent dry white towels, he hopped through the window after her.

"Hikari, where are you?" Sasuke yelled, but his cry was lost in the wind. Suddenly, a burning pain hit his chest, and stumbled. Hikari was standing over him, furious. Sasuke mentally reminded himself to blame Kakashi for this whole mess. Sasuke blinked his eyes, and when they opened, they were blood red and had 3 black commas swirling in them. Hikari's eyes widened with surprise at Sasuke's Sharingan and her piercing white slowly faded back to the soft gray, and filled with tears.

"Sasuke-kun… I'm sorry…I lost control of my powers again" Hikari began cry. Sasuke mentally began to think of punishments for Kakashi, but pulled the sobbing girl to him. Hikari placed her hand gently over the spot where she had punched him and Sasuke looked at her in surprise. He drew her closer to him, protecting her from the cold, rainy wind.

"Quiet Hikari. It's over now." Sasuke stroked her damp hair, and slid a protective arm around her waist. He took his other hand, and held it close on her cheek. A single, crystal tear hovered on his finger, and Hikari smiled at it, rain pouring down relentlessly now. Sasuke bent his head closer to Hikari's, and she could now feel his warm, calming breath on her cheek. "Hikari…" Sasuke whispered softly. Hikari turned to him, her cheeks flushing slightly pink. Sasuke wondered if her lips were as soft and velvety as they looked. Their faces were now mere inches away from each other's. Lightning flashed across the dark sky, illuminated the two teenagers faces. Slowly, their lips grew closer, and Sasuke pressed his mouth against Hikari's, capturing hers in a soft, but passionate kiss. Sasuke's warm lips and the cooling droplets of rain felt just right to Hikari, and she relaxed into Sasuke's warmth.

"He's told her." A dark-cloaked figure crouched atop the roof of the Uchiha house, staring down at the two kissing ninjas.

"Very well… we shall strike soon. Be patient, Atanake, you'll get your chance soon. Soon..." A cold, high voice emanated from the black clothed figure's radio. He nodded in acknowledgement, and bounded away, leaving the two lovers to themselves.

Okay… that was the updated chapter of Explanations and Kisses. I realized there wasn't really much of 'Explanations' but… oh well. I'll update soon… hopefully.
