irayumi no himitsu does NOT own Naruto, she does own the OCs though :)

Please enjoy chapter four (i know it's a bit long overdue)

Shiki dressed quickly and left the house to meet his current team, Team Three. Jumping a few rooftops, he soon saw Natsuki's blonde ponytails and landed in the spot just beside Rin, startling her. "You idiot Uchiha! What's the deal with landing beside me huh? Are you trying to kill me or something?" she demanded. Shiki only laughed.

Hatake Rin was a beautiful girl with shoulder length pink hair and gleaming green eyes (A/N: I'm guessing you know who the parents are). She wore a sleeveless red kunoichi dress with a pleated skirt that went to her mid-thigh and white leggings that went to her knees. She had bandages on her arms that went to her elbows, fingerless red gloves, standard blue nin shoes and her hitai-ate was worn around her waist, acting like a belt. She would always have a small smirk on her face but this time, it was replaced by a twisted look of anger and frustration.

"Che, you, in the first place, are a kunoichi thus you should have sensed me earlier before I even came down and secondly, who knows, I may want to kill you," he said, flashing a cheeky grin.

"Well!..." Rin started to protest but Natsuki coughed impatiently. The bickering couple then turned to face her. Rin's head was cocked to her side while Shiki looked at her impatiently.

"Uhm, now, Shiki-kun, why do you seem so much happier today, your mood is so much lighter…" Natsuki trailed.

Shiki grinned, "That's because someone very important in my life, she decided to come back to me." Shiki had a distant look in his eyes and he had a rare genuine smile.

"S…s…someone important?" Natsuki stuttered, softly saying.

"Ah… she… SHE??!!"Rin asked/screamed/demanded.

Shiki just grinned, saying that they would meet her later. Soon they finished training and they departed for their own houses. Rin mused on who the 'she' may be while Natsuki practically worried herself home, wondering who the new girl was.

Hyuuga Yuji stood silently watching Shiki walk away. He was standing atop a tree busy spying on Team Three's training, considering he was Shiki's rival and all but what Shiki said caused him to ponder. Could it be true that 'she' was back? She, the one and only Uchiha Saki? Yuji smirked; he hadn't seen Saki in a long time.

"Well Uchiha-chan, I'll definitely defeat you this time," he said, smirking once more to himself.

His teammates looked at him in pure surprise.

"There's a female Uchiha?" asked Nara Kyosuke. He looked at Yuji doubtfully.

"It's the first time Yu-chan is interested in a girl!" squealed Akimichi Aki.

A glare was directed at her "I told you not to call me that Akimichi!" but Aki was too busy to notice. Brushing the lone strands of blonde hair out of eyes, she laughed maniacally, scheming of ways to get them together.

Akimichi Aki was a bold girl, much like her mother, Yamanaka-Akimichi Ino with cropped blonde hair that was tied is short ponytail and bold cobalt blue eyes. She was wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt styled like a kimono with a blue and white obi with her hitai ate in the middle. On her hands she had fingerless white gloves that went to her mid-arm. That was paired with a white skirt with blue tights that went to her knees and to complete the look, the standard blue nin shoes. The look on her face was that of twisted scheming and sadism.

"Heh, troublesome," Kyosuke implied. "Why are you so interested in her anyway? I don't remember anything about a female Uchiha," he continued.

"She's the only one who has been able to defeat me in an official sparring match, thus becoming a chuunin instead of me," he answered, emotionlessly.

"Wait, Yu-chan was beaten by a girl?" Aki's blue eyes sparkled mischievously.

"Shut up Akimichi." Simple but strong, crystal and clear. That was how Hyuuga Yuji gave out his orders.

Kyosuke snickered and Aki tried to suppress her giggling. This was too much.

"Eh, Saki-chan, where'd you go?" Shiki questioned the silence lingering in the Uchiha residence. A split second later, a kunai was at Shiki's throat and a voice he knew all too well spoke out.

"Firstly, it's just Saki," began his twin sister, "secondly, why in the world did you let your guard down? You made it seem like there was nothing wrong in the house," she questioned.

Shiki narrowed his eyes, "naturally, since this is my home, I'd assume that it's safe to let my guard down. That is the purpose of a home, is it not?"

Saki dropped from the beam on the ceiling which she was hanging on and landed perfectly on the ground on her two feet. "Nothing is ever safe and to be trusted Shiki, I learnt that the hard way," Saki cast a glance towards her twin brother and there it was again, her blank, empty emotionless eyes.

"The ones she always has when she kills"

Shiki shook himself free of his previous thought.

"NO, my sister is not a murderer"

Instead he smiled and tilted her chin with his thumb. "You need to have fun, not everything is about work Saki, I suggest you go get a bath and change, I don't think you have since you came back. I'll come back for you at around dusk."

Saki opened her mouth to protest but Shiki immediately shut it.

"No buts, dusk, you better be ready," those were his last words before heading out the door, muttering something about going to get their father.
