This will be the only author's notes of the story considering I am putting this as a talk show type format. So… enjoy!

The lights come up on the set of the popular talk show of "Back Stories." The two hostesses sit strait up in their chairs. One tall with platinum blond, boy cut hair and silver eyes. The other average height with red hair with the ends dyed black and Sapphire blue eyes. "Action!" The director calls. The blond turned to the cameras with a sly grin. "Welcome back to Back Stories everyone! Last week, we interviewed an upcoming Manga artist, Zack. He told us the interesting plot of his Manga." She said. "I already preordered the first season!" Said the red head. The Audience applauded.
"Now, we have a very special guest Today, Don't we, Enya?" Asked the blond. The red head, Enya, nodded. "We sure do, Kaira! Ladies, gentlemen, Animaniacs…" She said. The Warner Brothers Yakko and Wako and the Warner sister, Dot. Appeared on the big screen and waved. (A/N: I just had to, the Warner's belong to Steven Spielberg. Not me, sorry.) "Welcome to the show, from the world's top anime, Naruto, and the winner of the Best Female villain award, Konan!" Enya said. The blunette entered the studio as the crowd went nuts.
"Hellooooo nurse!" Yakko and Wako cheered in unison. Dot whacked them with a mallet. "Why couldn't I have sisters?" Dot said as she sat them down. "Ahem, any ways, tell us about yourself and your role in Naruto, Konan." Enya said. Konan smiled. "Well, Enya, as very little know, Naruto is actually a true story, only, the Akatsuki obviously didn't die. Kishimoto-san actually said we did to make it more catching for villain lovers like you and Kaira. Actually, in the fourth shinobi world war, the Akatsuki all focused their chakra to Naruto and helped him defeat Obito." Konan explained. Enya leapt on to the table and pointed up to the sound box. "YOU OWE ME SEVENTY BUCKS, MARK!" She yelled. The audience laughed.
Konan chuckled. Enya sat down and Kaira moved along. "So, Konan, what was it like being the only girl living with nine guys under the same roof for so long?" She asked. "Kaira, the only way I can describe it is as a pain in the ass. There were always when they guys' hormones would go crazy, and the best way of describing that was seeing a dog in heat. Absolutely nuts." She said. Enya laughed so hard she fell out of her seat. Kaira grabbed her and yanked her back in her seat. "What do you think was the worst part of being with them?" Kaira laughed while Enya held her gut. Konan tapped her lip thoughtfully for about twelve minutes. "I can't tell you what the worst thing was, but if I really had to pick from those moments of hell, it would be the drama. Believe it or not guys have drama. The first case happened back when Itachi joined us and he got home sick…"
Konan's P.O.V.
I walked down the hall at midnight. It was just one of those nights for me. I couldn't sleep no matter how hard I tried, so I was going to get some tea. I heard the sound of a sniff come from the window as I walked by a small branch hall way that lead only to a window. I looked over and saw Itachi sitting in the window staring at the moon. I wondered if he had been crying. (A/N: Remember, Itachi was thirteen when he left the village and joined the Akatsuki. I actually did math when I was on Narutopeidia. If your curious, PM me and I'll explain.) I shrugged and went to the kitchen and made my tea. I kept thinking about Itachi sitting in the window. I sighed and pulled out a tray and made a second cup of tea.
"Okay, if he isn't there, it'll be a waste of tea and I'll go to bed. If he's still there… we'll see where it goes." I thought and made my way back up the steps. He was still in that window. I heard him sniff again. I walked up behind him. "Hey." I said softly, causing him to jump slightly. He turned to look at me. There were tears half way down his face. I was about to wonder if being this alone was rough on him, but it would be rough on any thirteen year old. "Mind if I join you?" I asked. He wiped his eyes. "I don't care." He said, his monotone back. I sighed and sat next to him on the window. "Here." I said handing him a cup of tea. "Thanks." He replied and stared at the liquid in the cup. I took a sip before I spoke.
"What's wrong?" I asked, staring at him. "Nothing. I am perfectly fine." He said. "Don't lie to me, Uchiha. I saw you cry." I said. "You did not. I wasn't crying." He said. "Itachi, do you know what happens when you lie to a short tempered woman?" I asked, getting irritated. He shuddered. "I'm fine, Konan, really. I'm just remembering things I don't want to remember." He said. "Most people call them selfs idiots or grind their teeth when they do that." I said. He shook his head. "What is it?" I asked. He was silent for a moment, staring in to his tea. I was about to give up and walk away.
"Back home… I knew this girl. She was… Unique. She wasn't like the other girls. Every girl back home would fangirl and swoon over me. But her… She'd ignore me." He said with a small smile. I stared at him like he was weird. "I don't think I'd consider that a good thing." I said. He shrugged. "Well, we were actually rivals for the short time we were in the academy. She was a prodigy, but she was stronger and smarter than me. By the time I was chunin, she was Anbu. By then, her parents had died and she was raising her baby brother alone. At that point, or rivalry had disappeared and we were close friends. She wasn't constantly saying she loved me, she wasn't always passing out when I looked at her, her eyes didn't turn to hearts when she saw me. She treated me like an equal, even an inferior some times. We got along. She made me laugh every now and then. Even though she had to grow up fast, she was still very optimistic. By the time I was ten, I had fallen in love with her. I told her that, even though I was afraid she would reject me. I was surprised when she told me she felt the same." He said.
I was taken aback at this. "And this made you cry because..?" I asked. "Because when I left, I left her lying in the street. Before she passed out from blood loss, she said she hated me and would never forgive me." He said. I felt bad for him. I knew what it was like to lose the one person I loved. But to be told that they hated me? That must be hard to take. I gripped his shoulder. "When she learns the truth, she will forgive you." I said. He wiped his eyes and shook his head. "I killed family and emotionally scarred a child and left the girl I loved bleeding to death in the middle of the street. I would hate me, too." He said.
I smiled at him. "Things will look up, Itachi. I know they will." I said. He looked up and stared at the moon. "I don't think they will. Would you ever forgive the person that left you for dead in the street?" He asked. I sighed. "There's always a possibility." I said. He shrugged and sipped his tea. I finished mine and stepped back. "Well, I'm off to bed. Try to get some sleep, kid." I said and went off to bed.
