"When?" Saki had demanded from a still silent Hanabi.

"Soon," was all Saki could get from her sensei. Saki was frustrated but chose to say nothing; she knew how annoyed Hanabi could get. Even though now there were of the same rank, Saki still respected Hanabi and still regarded Hanabi her sensei and respected all of her decisions, no matter how crazy or far-fetched they were.

Saki got up and ran, far, deep into the woods. Hanabi still said nothing as Saki went deeper and finally settled on a branch high above where she could see, without being seen. For a brief moment, she flashed her sharingan and scanned the area below. Satisfied, she sat on the branch, her feet dangling. She started spinning her kunai and sighed. A small smile crept across her face; soon, she would back, back with those who cared for her. She then fell asleep, dreaming of her eternal hope.

Hanabi saw her star pupil run and sighed inwardly. Saki was cold and merciless when killing yet when it came to things like these, her emotions would always, always get the better of her. She knew how much Saki missed her family, true enough, she also missed her family. The reason she ran away? Her father betrothed her to the some rich person's son; for the sake of the clan he would say, for the sake of the village.

The truth was, she loved someone else and she knew that if she ran away with that someone else, his family would be condemned by the Hyuuga clan and would be considered a disgrace. Hanabi couldn't stand to see that happen so she ran away, hoping her family and clan, would never find her. The reason Saki was with her? Saki wanted to run away too, the exact reason, she would probably never know. It was the one thing Hanabi couldn't bear to force out of her.

She didn't go after Saki. She knew she didn't have to, because even with Saki's faltering control over her emotions, Saki wasn't rash and knew how to make reasonable decisions. Hanabi sighed as she fell asleep. They would go back tomorrow, at the break of dawn. When it was light enough for them to see, but silent enough to know many will be asleep.

*****

Shiki couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned in his sheets, thinking of her. Her, the girl known as Uchiha Saki, his twin sister. His twin sister who graduated from the Academy at age 5; his twin sister who became a chuunin at age 6; his twin sister who ran away 3 months after that. He shuddered. His twin sister was a powerful kunoichi capable of killing mercilessly and emotionlessly.

He missed her deeply and knew she missed him too, though she wouldn't ever admit it. They were twins thus; they had a close psychological bond and couldn't stand to be away from each other for long. That was how he knew, each time, when she'd come back, whether or not she'd stay. She was nearby; he could feel it in his veins.

Sighing inwardly, he reminded himself that hoping was futile, especially when Uchiha Saki was involved, he, after all, should've known best, he is her twin. As much as he loved Saki, he couldn't hope; because he knew, Saki loved to run.
