I know this was overdue. I think I'll try and update in less than a month's time *crosses fingers*

This chapter though is.... random (=.=") so sorry again

Anyways, I happen to really like this particular story as I think it's well written. Whatever it is, you be the judge :D

DISCLAIMER: iRAYUMi does not own Naruto but owns the OCs


"...me," Shiki said between guffaws.

"She looks exactly like you Shiki," Sasuke offered.

*laughs* "I realize that otou-san"

"What, may I ask is so funny?" asked a slightly annoyed Saki.

"Don't you have any other clothes Saki?" asked Sasuke.

Saki bit her lip and shook her head, "what you saw me in yesterday were my only clothes and since I can only fit Shiki's and aniki's, I had no choice."

What Saki was wearing were indeed, Shiki's clothes. She had on a blue t-shirt with a high collar. It had the Uchiha symbol on the back displayed prominently. Bandages covered her arms from her elbows to her fingers, with bandages covering individual fingers. She had on a pair of white capris which went to her knees and of course the standard blue nin sandals. Her shuriken holster was on her left leg and a small pouch was on her right. Her waist-length bluish black hair was in a neat bun and her hitai-ate was on her forehead.

"Don't you have a chuunin vest somewhere?" eyed Shiki, "I'd prefer it if you didn't have to wear my clothes."

"I think I lost it," she deadpanned.

*****

"You'd better have a good reason for making us wait Uchiha," demanded Rin. She was never the patient type. Gathered in front of the Hokage office stood the children of the original Naruto gang.

Akimichi Aki,

Hatake Rin,

Hyuuga Yuji,

Nara Kyosuke

Uzumaki Natsuki,

And, of course,

Uchiha Shiki.

Yuji had already predicted the reason. Aki and Rin wanted to burst out of impatience. Natsuki tried (but failed) to keep her composure. Kyosuke just wanted it all over and done with. Shiki had a smirk on his face.

"I would like all of you to meet my sister, Uchiha Saki," and he stepped aside to reveal the confused-looking girl standing behind him. All hell broke loose.

Aki was speechless. A first, Kyosuke would say.

Rin was at a loss for words. (A/N: no, it's not the same as speechless, Rin is going "a……………….a……………..a……………." but Aki isn't saying anything at all.

Yuji just smirked but was mentally dumb-founded and freaking out.

Kyosuke just yawned and repeated the word 'troublesome' again and again.

Shiki smirked, he was enjoying their reactions.

Natsuki, on the other hand, did not give Saki breathing space. She glomped Saki the moment she saw her.

"SAKI-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The dazed girl blinked in confusion. So did everyone else. This was the first time they had ever seen Natsuki so hyped-up. She soon let go and scratched her head sheepishly, apologizing to everyone.

"Ne, Saki-chan, why are you back anyways?" asked an ever curious Rin.

Immediately, Saki's expression changed and the temperature dropped a few degrees. She gave Rin a dark look, one filled with murderous intent. Her eyes seemed to stone, as did her movements. Rin felt as though icicles had punctured her heart, freezing it with an immediate fear. Shiki's eyes darted hurriedly back and forth; silently hoping that Saki wouldn't lose control. He knew that the question was ground better left untouched. He never wanted to know why, never needed to, as long as Saki was with him, this very moment, he felt that nothing could be better.

"You are a skilled kunoichi, find out yourself, Rin-san," answered Saki, cold as ever. She then proceeded to simply walk away.

Rin nodded dumbly and turned towards Shiki, who shrugged his shoulders. After so, he made a motion of 'zipping his mouth', indicating that the question was left better unanswered.

In a futile attempt to bring back the temperature, Shiki smiled his usual, amiable smile and said "Well then, why don't we all go see Naruto-san, I'm sure he has missions for us," looking at Saki, he continued, "I'm sure Naruto-san would like to see you too."

Everyone nodded and proceeded in the direction of rokudaime's office.
