I do NOT own Naruto!!!

New Teams, Art, Insomnia, and Fights.

"What!?" the blond screamed. "But, the only Uchihas are Sasuke and Itachi!" This intrigued Sayomi's interest.

"You know my brothers?"

"BROTHERS!? YOU'RE SASUKE-KUN'S SISTER!?" the pinkette screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Yes. I was wondering... If you could tell me about them?" Naruto gave her a confused look. "But, you're their sis..."

Tsunade cut him off. "Naruto, she was given up to another family."

"Oh." Naruto said, a sympathetic look on his face that quickly turned to happiness. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki! The next Hokage!" Sakura hit him upside the head.

"I'm Sakura Haruno." She said, rubbing the back of her neck.

"What would you like to know about Sasuke?" Naruto asked, putting an arm around Sayomi's shoulder. A little uncomfortable, Sayomi slipped out of his grasp.

"Ummm... What's he like?" Naruto looked thoughtful for a minute before he broke out in a smile.

"He's a complete show-off, a jerk, and is anti-social."

"NARUTO!!!" Sakura screamed. But before she could finish Naruto cut her off.

"But... He's my best friend and is like a brother to me. And I promised, I would bring him back." Naruto looked thoughtfully at Sayomi, who gave him an encouraging smile and Naruto smiled back.

"She will be on Team Kakashi!" Tsunade's booming voice sounded. "Now, I forgot to ask earlier... what ninja rank are you?"

"Chunin."

"Alright. Then, I have something for you." Tsunade said, as she pulled out a Leaf Village Issued Headband. She tossed the headband to Sayomi, who stripped herself of her Stone Village headband, replacing it with her new one.

"Now, I know you just got together but... we have important news." Tsunade said. "As you two know, there is a spy in Orochimaru's ranks. You will be assigned two other team mates and will capture this spy for questioning. If you succeed, we may be able to find Orochimaru's lair and ultimately, Sasuke." They all nodded in understanding. "You are to wait outside for your teammates. You are dismissed!" With that they all left the room and went to wait outside.

They waited for a little while. Sakura and Naruto conversed about how long it was taking their new teammates. Sayomi just sat on the steps quietly, thinking about how her brother must look. What his reaction would be when he discovered their relation. She was just beginning to think about Itachi when she heard two people approach. She turned to see a pale, black haired, half shirt wearing boy with a stoic expression, and a brown haired man that had a scary look to his eye. Naruto looked at the pale boy and pointed an accusing finger at him.

"You're the one from the roof earlier!" he said. Sayomi wasn't really paying attention to them, more to the older man. He had said he would replace Kakashi, meaning he would lead the team. She looked the pale boy over. His fake smile was a tad bit annoying, but other than that she saw nothing wrong with him. When he started talking about Naruto's 'equipment' she blocked them out. All she knew was that the brown haired man was Yamato and the pale boy was Sai.

Later, Sakura, Naruto, and Sayomi walked down the street. Naruto was discussing how much he hated Sai and Sayomi was spacing out when she heard Sakura mention Sasuke.

"He does indeed have a foul mouth... But don't you think he kind of resembles Sasuke? Like his face and the way he talks..."

"He doesn't resemble Sasuke at all! Sasuke's cooler... No, not cooler. Well, he's better!" Naruto stuttered. He turned away with a determined look and a sad glint in his eye.

"Yeah, Sasuke's a little cooler than Sai, isn't he?"

"Not just a little! Sasuke's totally b-better!" Then they continued walking, not mentioning Sasuke again. They went to their homes to pack their bags.

They met at the gates about an hour later. Sakura and Naruto were glaring at Sai, Yamato was waiting to give instruction, and Sayomi was waiting patiently for that instruction. After the instruction they set out.

They were walking in an aggressive silence. Naruto continued to glare at Sai and again Sayomi ignored their bickering. She sped up and walked quietly next to Yamato. Soon Naruto was yelling out and Yamato stopped. Naruto started to talk about how "Sai isn't a member of Team Kakashi", how "their other member was...Sasuke!" Sayomi watched as Sai put on a fake smile with a glare.

He put a hand on his hip and said, "Well, That's actually easier for me... He betrayed the Leaf, and ran off to serve Orochimaru... I don't want to be lumped together with a cockroach along the same lines...as Orochimaru." His words crushed Sayomi. She wanted to meet her family, but in Sai's words... Sasuke sounded like a traitor. She knew he was... but the reality of those words hit hard. She could see Naruto growing angrier by the second. He was about to punch Sai but Sakura stopped him. She began talking about Teamwork and how Sai didn't really know Naruto. Then, she surprised them all.

"I'm sorry...please forgive Naruto."

"It's OK. It doesn't really bother me."

"Really? Thank goodness!" That was when Sayomi saw what Sakura would do next. She saw through the fake smile on Sakura's face. Sakura continued to smile for a minute then... WHAM!!! She punched Sai right in the jaw. "You don't have to...forgive me." Sayomi let a smirk play on her lips but it quickly disappeared as Sai's words played in her head. "And here you don't know anything about Sasuke." Sakura said, waking Sayomi. Sayomi was happy. Sakura was right, Sai knew nothing of Sasuke. Which meant that his words weren't necessarily true!

"So, that's another way of using a fake smile, huh...?" Sai said. "I'll remember that." At that moment Sayomi wanted to punch Sai so bad! She wanted to flatten his face in for insulting Sasuke without knowing him.

"How can you grin like that after getting punched?!" Naruto growled.

"A smile is the best way to get through a tough situation." He was right. Sayomi knew what he said was true... but the way he used it was wrong. He used that fake smile at the wrong times. A fake smile got you out of worrying your family and comrades... She thought back to when her 'Okaa-san' died. The ANBU to give her the news was a nice man and he had let her live with him. She had used a fake smile many times to reassure him she was alright when on the inside... she was breaking in two, from a thought of her 'Okaa-san' or what she would do if her 'Nii-chan', as she called the brunette she was fooling, died. She was thinking hard about her 'Nii-chan', he died when the Rock Village was attacked... She had only been 12 at the time and was lucky to escape with her life. She had cried for days until she was found by ninja inspecting the area and was taken to live in an orphanage. Now, at 15, she was with a team, on a mission, about to find a connection to her long lost brother... And she wanted to cry. She looked at Yamato, and quietly whispered, so only he could hear, "Captain Yamato... is there a way you could keep them quiet? They're giving me a head-ache and I'm trying really hard not to punch Sai for insulting my brother... I'd like to stay civil." Yamato nodded, and Sayomi smiled at him. Just as Naruto called Sai a jerk, Yamato stepped up.

"Four-Pillar Prison Jutsu!" He yelled, as a large prison of wood seemed to grow from the ground behind him and Sayomi. "I'll really toss you guys into this cell if you keep fighting. We don't have much time until we get to the Tenchi Bridge. That being said... We've still got enough time to take a little detour."

"This is..." could be heard from Sakura. Apparently only Sayomi noticed the mumbled words leave Sakura's mouth. She shrugged it off and continued to watch Yamato.

"As your peacemaker, I offer you this suggestion. In order to improve your rapport, I can toss you guys into this cell for a full day or we can stay at a hot spring inn for a night. Which would you prefer? You guys probably don't really know me all that well. I prefer the kind and gentle approach, but I'm not against controlling you by fear, either." Sayomi almost laughed at the 'scary face' he made, that obviously creeped Naruto out. She smiled at Yamato as they headed off to the hot spring he promised.

Her and Sakura were in the hot springs, not really talking, when Naruto was heard yelling, "Don't be looking!"

"Naruto?" Sakura mumbled.

"Shut up with all that talk about my "equipment!" All the women, including Sayomi, laughed.

Later they all went inside to see a marvelous dinner. Naruto and Sakura freaked out. Sai smiled calmly and Sayomi grinned at Yamato. She calmly took a seat next to him and said, "Arigato, Yamato-san." He smiled and nodded at her. She carefully took a piece of food in her chopsticks and began her small feast. Sayomi finished her food quickly, before all of them and sat against a far wall, sketching them. She drew their happy faces and smiled to her self when she finished. She had captured everything – even the glint in Naruto's mischievous eyes and Sakura's peaceful posture. She set her things down and soon fell asleep. In an hour they were finished, and Naruto had a bulging stomach. No one noticed that Sayomi wasn't at the table, not used to hearing her talk anyway. Only Sai really noticed, but didn't bother pointing it out as Yamato started talking. Sakura left and Naruto laid down his cot and fell asleep instantly, not noticing Sayomi's presence. Yamato looked at her. He didn't want to wake her, but that position against the wall must be very uncomfortable. He carefully laid out an extra cot and picked her up. Immediately, she tensed in her sleep, but did not wake fully. She relaxed after realizing who it was. Yamato carefully laid her down. She snuggled into a ball and he lay down on his own mat, across the room. Sai did the same and they all slept peacefully. Sayomi slept for five hours, a new record!

Due to her insomnia, she only got three hours asleep, tops, but strangely, she had no black rings around her eyes like she should. Her insomnia was the whole reason she enjoyed drawing. When she was younger, she would wake up after two or three hours of sleep, and grab some paper and a pencil. She would draw her 'Nii-san' beautiful flowers that came from her imagination. She got up carefully and saw Naruto, sprawled out, boxers showing and snoring loudly, and giggled. She saw Yamato and Sai, both calmly sleeping. She grabbed her sketch pad and pencil. She sat down and did a sketch of Naruto's face; it included the half-open mouth and all. After she finished that she started to draw a flower. Then she drew her 'Okaa-san' and 'Nii-san.' Tears leaked down her face and she quickly wiped them away, wishing not to cry. She had just started drawing a picture of Itachi, when he was six - from an old photograph Mikoto had left with her letter - when Yamato got up. He looked at her, sketching furiously. She looked up at him as he walked out the door with his clothes. Soon Sai got up and went outside with his things, completely ignoring her. Later, as she was finishing the shading on her brother's face, she heard Naruto mumble and looked up at him.

"Sakura-chan, you've got it all wrong." He mumbled, while rolling around a bit. "I'm not peeking! OWW!!!" That was when he started to roll towards the table, hitting himself with a pillow along the way. "Forgive me, Sakura-chan! Sakura-cha..." He had hit the table and the empty coffee pot on top, slid off and landed on his face. He sat up immediately and as he did, Sayomi started laughing at his red face. He mumbled, "Morning already?" and then finally noticed her. She was laughing at him, covering her face with her hands and giggling. He blushed and quickly grabbed his clothes, hurriedly putting them on. When he was dressed he walked over to the now calm Sayomi and looked at her drawing.

"Is that Sasuke!?" He asked, snatching up the sketch book in her lap, and staring at it.

"No, that is Itachi." She said, matter-of-factly. He looked at the drawing closer.

"Really!?"

"Yes. That's him... When he was six." she said, snatching the book back,

"But how do you know what he looked like!? I thought you were given up!?"

"I was! Our Okaa-san left me a picture of them!" She said. She reached into her bag and pulled out and old, bent photo. Sure enough, there were Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha. Mikoto holding Sasuke with one arm and holding Itachi's hand with the other. Sasuke was only two weeks old when the picture was taken and Itachi actually looked... happy? Naruto stared at the picture and slowly handed it back. She got up and they grabbed their things heading outside quickly, since Naruto noticed Sai's stuff was gone and immediately jumped to conclusions. They ran into Yamato.

"Morning, Naruto-kun, Sayomi-chan."

"Captain Yamato! That jerk, Sai..."

"Sai's outside. Your timings perfect. I've got something I want to ask you to do for me... Naruto." He made sure to add the Naruto so Sayomi would know it was just meant for him. She nodded and walked on with a "Bye, Yamato-san" over her shoulder. She went outside to where she saw Sakura talking to Sai. She was barely able to hear the,

"WOW... so you draw." from Sakura. She slowed her pace as she approached.

"Is there something you want?"

"You're foul-mouthed, but you've also got a sensitive side, huh?" Sakura said, pleasantly. "That's a surprise."

Sai smiled lightly. "That fake smile. So you're still not through hitting me, huh?"

"Not quite..." That was Sayomi walked up beside Sai and sat down as if nothing happened. "I'm kidding! I just came to check out your picture. I was wondering what you were drawing."

"I see..."

"At first, I thought you were drawing a landscape since you're drawing out here... but it's an abstract, huh? What's the title of this drawing?" A short pause, but Sai did not answer. "You haven't decided on one yet, have you?"

"I don't know"

"You don't know...? The name of this drawing, a title. You've got something in mind, don't you? I won't laugh, so tell me."

"I've got nothing like that."

"What?!"

"I've drawn tens of thousands of pictures... but I've never given one a title. So this doesn't have one, either..."

"Really... but, you're supposed to give a title to a picture, right? If it's a portrait, you give it the name of the person... Or with other pictures, you use the situation, your feelings or emotions at the time..." Then Sayomi blocked them out. She was tired of their near-pointless conversation. Naruto soon showed up and walked up behind Sayomi, looking at the finishing touches she was adding to her portrait of a six year-old Itachi.

"You're still drawing that?" he asked, a little rudely.

"Why yes, Naruto, I am. I would appreciate it if you would not look at it with such a disgusted face just because you don't like the person it is of, thank you." She said, with acid in her voice. This caught Sakura's interest and she came over for a peek. She had already shut her book and was walking away when Sakura asked to see the picture. Even though Sakura would probably have the same reaction, Sayomi showed her the portrait.

"Is that Sasuke?" Sakura asked.

"No, it is not." Sayomi said quietly.

"Then who?"

"Itachi," was all Sayomi said before turning away and walking towards Yamato's faint chakra signature.

"How does she know what he looks like!?" Sakura asked Naruto.

"She has a picture of her family." Naruto said, matter-of-factly.

Soon, Sai had spilled the beans of having no emotions and not caring about Naruto. Sayomi and Yamato waited patiently. They left the inn later and Sayomi got the enjoyment of seeing Naruto cower in fear at Yamato 'scary face.' Yamato looked satisfied with the fake smiles. Sayomi's was the only real smile and was soon a light giggle as she watched Naruto freak out. They walked towards the bridge and Sayomi could feel the annoying tension, all the way. They stopped and Yamato walked off the trail, calling to fallow him. He stopped and explained that it might be a trap. Sayomi just nodded, knowing full well that it might be.

"They might be after you, Naruto..." Sayomi bristled with curiosity. Why would a dangerous organization want the goof ball? They continued on and came to a clearing. Yamato made a house for them that night, with a justu! They went inside, up the stairs where Sayomi fell asleep instantly... Maybe, if she was lucky, she'd get six hours of sleep. That was the most amount of sleep she had gotten in her whole life and it was only because she hadn't slept at all and had been on a mission... when she was eleven. She heard them all moving around and then Yamato said to gather around.

"You too, Sayomi." She groaned and got up. No sleep now! "Yes, Yamato-san?" He asked for Sasori's personality and such. "What's this about?" Naruto asked.

"He has to pose as Sasori to catch the spy!" Sayomi snapped at him.

"What's the matter, Sayomi-san?" Yamato asked.

"I won't get any sleep now..." She said in a sigh.

"Why not!?" Naruto yelled.

"I have insomnia. Now that I've been woken up, I won't be able to sleep." They all looked at her and she sighed. "Just continue Yamato-san."

With that, Yamato began to explain their mission. "In the event of a battle, we are to operate with the buddy-system." Sayomi nodded. She was thinking about how they had never seen her skills... "Now, I will give out the buddy-teams. Sakura and I will make the first team. Sayomi, you will also back me up. Naruto and Sai will make the other team."

"This could be fun," was all Sayomi could think.
