Hey all. This is my first story posting, so please be gentle with criticism.

The house hold was called on a meeting that involved all expect the new girls. Since they still didn't know the Uchiha clan are actually ancient vampires, a meeting during the night wasn't anything unusual. Adding that both the new girls who started living in the house would be asleep, the timing couldn't be any better. Usually Clair and Layla's night would have a route to it. Clair would be in bed from 1 to 4, and when she was resting under no circumstances would be she awakened. If that happened all hell would break loss, literally. Layla was knocked out by mostly 11 to 12, would wake up around 2 to 5 to see if marina went to bed then fall back to the comfort of her sheets.

This night turned out a bit different. It all started normally, Clair went to sleep at about 3 and Layla woke up just a little after her friend was asleep. The one thing that was feeling off to Layla was that something was causing her to be unable to fall asleep. Sitting up slouching, she suddenly realized why she couldn't go back to sleep. Her stomach groaned in hunger, an idea popped from her head.

"I think my tummy wants a cookie" her tone picked up with life again.

Layla now knowing what she wanted got up and stopped at the steps, watching them with a blank expression. Curiously the hungry girl muttered to herself as she stared.

"Where am l again? The door wasn't always there was it? I'm still hungry but I don't want to go off in some weird place… Oh well, I'm still hungry"

Layla had been completely over taken by the hunger and forgot that she was currently living in the residents. Walking aimlessly through the hallway, some how using her 'stomach senses' to safely find her way to the kitchen. Her sight acting like a raider scanned each cupboard until she felt that the cookies were in the cabinet between the fridge and sink. Layla childishly hummed in triumph as she swung open the cupboard door noticing that the 'Chips Ahoy' bag of rainbow cookies was reachable on the first shelf. She quickly opened the blue bag, grabbed a cookie, closed the bag, placed it back in the original shot, closed the door and started making her way back to the basement. Sadly by the time she was 5 steps out of the kitchen door, the cookie vanished.

"Um, tummy still wants another cookie". She mumbled aloud to herself.

Sounding like a whining child, she skipped back to the kitchen. Once again she went to the cabinet that the cookies were in, opened it and let out a huge gasp. The blue bag wasn't there anymore. She glanced around the kitchen with lightening speed to find it on the top of all the cabinets. Determined to fulfill her tummy's desire, the girl started to reach of the blue bag. First she tried stretching for it but it was a bit too high. Second she tried placing her left hand on the counter and stretch for the bag again. Each time Layla found she got closer to the cookies but the bag seemed to go back farther.

About 10 minutes past and Layla stood there staring at the hard to reach blue bag of rainbow cookies. Adding to those past minutes, she didn't notice there was someone watching her as she reached and stretched for the desired cookies. Obviously this person was toying with the girl's circumstances but the person was enjoying the view. Layla can't be blamed if her comfy green stripped booty shorts and elastic thin strap baby blue mid-drift would be an enjoyable 'thigh, hip, butt exposure' for a pervert. As the person watched his entertainment for the night, Layla continued to stand there deciding on a method to reach the cookies. Again, she blurred to herself thinking that she is alone.

"Okie, I can do one out of two things. 1 I could get a chair and 2 I can climb… I'll climb I'm too lazy to get the chair"

The person smirked, glad she didn't turn to see them. Layla began her mission toward the cookies. As she inched closer and closer toward the blue bag, her eyes started to sparkle with excitement. The lights suddenly shot on causing Layla to stop dead in her tracks. Her vision only forced on the Chips Ahoy bag, she heard a filmier voice coming for the hallway.

"Madara, what do you think you're doing?", asked a low toned voice.

Layla's attention now catch by the question, she blurred out lout.

"Huh? I'm Layla not… What the hell? Who's that?".

Before turning toward the cause of the interruption Layla swiftly grabbed the cookie bag and with a big grin on her lips she turned and sat on the counter. As she opened the bag, she now noticed that someone was sitting at the table clearly positioned to her epic mission. The person was an eye catcher, nice straight layered long jet black hair, deep – dark reddish eyes and a satisfied smirk planted on his face. She began to munch on the rainbow chip cookies and looking at the doorway finally realizing who the filmier voice belonged to.

"oh! hey 'tachi" each word was muffled by cookies been drilled into her watery mouth.

Her eyes would shift from Itachi to Madara as she indulged in her cookies. Itachi had a highly annoyed expression on his face, leaning against the door frame with his body facing Madara. He was still sitting in the position he was discovered in, and the smirk didn't fade. Irritated with something, Itachi began to question the mysterious character.

"Is the meeting over?" Madara trying to avoid the previous question.

"You didn't answer my question", it obviously failed.

"Well, I heard you and Deidara discussing about the two girls and I wanted to have a look", a devilish smirk curls his lips.

"So you skipped the meeting for your perverted self to watch my girl?", Itachi asked, arms crossed.

'His girl?' Layla paused to blushed slightly at the protective comment as the two continued their back and forth conversation.

"Oh your girl? But didn't your father specifically say not to invite her kind?"

"That's none of your concern"

"But I am your legal guardian"

"And that I'm frankly disgraced at"

"That's not nice! Guess I'll have to teach you how to speak to your elders, Itachi"

Since Layla was very distracted by the cookies and Itachi's comment she didn't notice when Madara suddenly came in reach of her. Looked up, she stopped just when he was about to grab her wrist. Thankfully for her, Itachi was quick enough to catch Madara's hand before it could touch Layla's. Sadly for her tummy in the process of protecting her Itachi had to knock away the whole bag of cookies. Layla's face turned completely with disaster as the bag flew out of her hold, she instantly put her arm out acting as if the bag would walk toward her.

"No~! my cookies!" she was in total dismay and had been quite dramatic about it.

As for Itachi, Madara backed off him seeing how serious he was acting in order to protect the human girl. The smirk still there, he was not utterly satisfied.

"Alright, I'll back off now"

"… This shit is getting tiring"

Itachi looked back at Layla to find her eyes balling over the long gone cookies. His face relaxed but he was still irritated. He let out a tiring sigh "Deidara"

In less than a second after Itachi said the name, another person came walking into the kitchen.

"Yeah?", the blond asked.

Layla looked at the person, long blond hair and very pale grey eyes. She stared at the blond in curiosity to what Itachi had in store for her. Unconsciously she clinched onto his collar, but that wasn't going to save her. Itachi sighed and ordered the blond.

"Take this back in the basement" he pointed at Layla with his thumb and before she could protest Deidara had picked her up by the waist and haled Layla over his shoulders.

"What the hell Itachi!" She yelled.

"Thanks Deidara"

"No problem", the blond called out before leaving.

"Bye-bye" Madara waved childishly at the girl

Itachi glanced at Madara.

"Why are you still here?"

Madara shrugged, "Boredom"

That's all .. hoped it was worth the read. and thank you.
