Wow… I'm on an updating streak! Yeaa! So, I updated "Walk Through The Rain", and also, if you're a Kingdom Hearts fan, check out my story "Riku's Return". (Or, just check out my profile -)

Ok… disclaimer. I don't own Naruto. Just OC Kelea, and Sakuya-Kaname Uchiha "gave" me the character Yuna Hanajima.

So…ok! Next chapter, coming up!

Sasuke couldn't take his eyes off the girl's neck. The rest of Team 7 seemed quite bewildered as well.

Her locket… has the Uchiha crest on it…? Sasuke tried to wrap his mind around this, but couldn't.

"Who are you?" Kelea asked quietly, disintegrating her bubble. The rain hit everyone (excluding Yuna and Kelea) like a hammer, and Naruto shivered from the cold wetness.

"I'm Hanajima Yuna," the girl repeated, flipping her long hair over her shoulder. She stared at Kelea. "Are you the Cordeni girl that's staying with the Uchihas?" Kelea nodded and glanced at Sasuke, who seemed dazed.

"Y-yes. I am Kelea…" the girl stammered, her white-blonde bangs falling in her eyes. She pushed the wet hair off her forehead and looked at the older, dark-haired girl, who began to speak.

"I am one of Itachi's old friends. I was the one who told your otooji Misoruda-san to take you to Itachi and Sasuke." She paused and looked at Sasuke, who glared at her. "Here, Kelea, take a look at this." Yuna took off the locket and gave it to Kelea."

"B-but, m-mine is almost e-exactly l-like that, except I d-don't have the Uchiha c-crest…" Kelea stammered, and she gestured towards the necklace Kiso had given her, which was indeed almost identical to Yuna's, only Yuna's had the Uchiha family symbol on it.

"I know. That's actually the reason why I came," Yuna said. "I have been watching over Kiso ever since you left the Village Hidden in the Mist. But now, he's in danger, so I've come back to protect you, Kelea." Kelea froze.

Kiso… no. He… can't be… in danger… Kelea thought frantically.

"Take me to him, please!" Kelea pleaded tearfully. She wrapped cold fingers around the smooth metal of the locket her brother had given to her. "Please Yuna, take me to Kiso…" Yuna shook her head.

"Not yet. I need to speak to Itachi." She looked at Sasuke. "You're part of this too, Uchiha." Sasuke nodded, and took Kelea's hand and squeezed it reassuringly.

"Uh, excuse us?" Kakashi said hesitantly. He, Sakura, and Naruto were standing there, sopping wet, with comically blank looks on their faces. Yuna looked at Kakashi with a strange look on her face, which Kakashi immediately understood.

"Naruto, Sakura," Kakashi turned to his two students. "Sasuke, Kelea, Itachi, and Yuna are going someplace very far away. And that place is somewhere that we cannot follow." Kakashi rubbed his temples, suddenly looking very tired. He placed a hand on Sakura and Naruto's shoulders, guiding them back to the main street of Konoha. "Sasuke, Kelea, be safe…"

Ok that's chapter 3! Dont forget to R&R! Well, you've already read it... so review 'cuz it's much appreciated!
