Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto because if I did, SasuNaru and ItaDei would occur and Itachi and Deidara would still be alive and Sasuke wouldn't be a complete asshole... yeah. XD

Author's Note: Yes, yes, I know I still have some of the other stories still going on and such, but I'm having a total writer's block on them. I mean, it's not even funny. Seriously. I haven't forgotten about them, but I just can't figure out how to make such big gaps get filled in, you know? I'll get to them eventually. Man, I thought summer vacation was supposed to help me clear my mind. :/ Guess I thought wrong. -_- But I hope you like Naruto and these two together. I love these guys. XD And sorry for OOC-ness. It's my first time using these characters so I'm still kinda learning. Sorry. Dx

Btw, everyone is from ages 17-18 in here unless stated otherwise. Cuz obviously Fugaku isn't 18 while Itachi's 17. No, that doesn't work. And I made Sasuke and Naruto four years younger than Itachi, so yeah. XDD

Dare Me
Chapter 1: Exchange Students
((Started: August 1st/Finished: August 2nd))

Itachi sat at his desk completely bored out of his wits. His chin rested on his right hand and his fingers tapped the desktop inaudibly. Right now it was 5th period and the worst period of the day because it was Science. Itachi never really cared for any type of science and therefore it dragged on for him. Of course he had a perfect grade in the class, but that didn't mean he had to like it. To keep himself from falling asleep, he had been passing notes with Sasori who sat next to him. As if on cue, Sasori passed a new note back over to him.

"Now, there's something I want to tell you, and yes it's important." Itachi raised an eyebrow at the note before scribbling his answer on the piece of paper.

"Alright, go on then." Itachi slid the paper over to Sasori's desk and waited for the reply. Sasori's reply really made him curious.

"I'm telling you beforehand because I don't need you strangling the... 'subject.'" And what was that supposed to mean?

"Sasori, just tell me, alright? No need to dance around the topic you're going to tell me eventually," was his reply. He glanced over at Sasori to see him bite his lip before writing his reply on the note and handing it back to Itachi.

"Well, you see, a friend of mine and his brother from Iwagakure are coming for a... 'permanent' visit and will be staying with me. He'll be here tonight and I kinda wanted everyone to meet him so he doesn't feel awkward when Monday rolls around, so I thought we'd have a get together on Saturday. And I'm telling you this before everyone else because I don't want you to kill him, so please don't."

Sasori thought Itachi would kill his friend right on the spot? Hmph, the kid must have been something then. Itachi passed the note back with his answer.

"Honestly, Sasori? You think I'd kill the kid right on the spot without even knowing him? What kind of guy do you think I am? He can't be that bad." The next and last reply from Sasori before the bell rang simply made Itachi stay in his seat.

"You have no idea." Itachi watched as Sasori stood and picked his books up.

"You'll get more details next period during lunch. Ja ne." He was definitely getting answers next period.

After putting his books away in his locker, Itachi made his way to the cafeteria. He immediately spotted his group of friends and sat in his usual seat by Kisame.

"Sasori isn't here yet?" he found himself asking. Kisame shook his head as he took out his lunch.

"No," The shark-like man replied, shaking his head in the process. He was quite the misfit; at least six feet tall, had a rich tan, he was a blunette, and had a shark-like appearance to him. "It's strange seeing as he's the one who is always nagging us about promptness." Itachi sighed, leaning his head on his palm again. Now Itachi was angry with himself. He wanted to know more about these new students... but he didn't know why. This caused him to sigh irritatedly which also caused Kisame to raise an eyebrow at his friend.

"Well, I have no idea as to why he is late, but it seems that there are two new exchange students from Iwagakure making a 'permanent visit,' as Sasori had stated, to Konoha and will be coming to our school. I know no other information on the situation. I do, however, believe that they'll be here by the end of the school day so Sasori and Grandma Chiyo can help them get situated before Monday roles around. It seems like that's Sasori's plans. Either way, Sasori promised details... which I'd prefer now," he slightly seethed. Kisame raised another eyebrow.

"Well, aren't you impatient? Why is that?" Itachi shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm just interested is all," was his reply. Kisame smirked.

"Oh, really now? What exactly did Sasori tell you?" Kisame questioned.

"Nothing descriptive. Just told me not to kill him, which seems odd on account that I haven't even met him yet."

"Maybe it's because of his personality?" Kisame suggested.

"I still haven't met him yet. I wouldn't really just kill him right on the spot," Itachi countered. Kisame sighed.

"Well, whatever it is, Sasori just doesn't want him dead... by your hands, so just take it into caution. Is that why you're so interested in him?" This, unfortunately, seemed to have caught Hidan's ears. Would it kill him to get his mind out of the gutter?

"What? Itachi's got himself a manwhore? Oh my fucking Jashin! I didn't know this skinny ass fucker could get himself one. That poor fucking bastard." Even though he knew Hidan's words weren't even close as to why he was interested in the new student, he couldn't help but let his face turn just a little bit red. Hidan had a very big mouth and seemed to worship a god called Jashin. Yeah, no one really knows.

"Language, Hidan," Kakuzu intervened. Kakuzu was... strange. He had his entire face bandaged up all the time. Probably some type of... no, no one wanted to think about it. "If I had a-"

"Shut up, you stingy bastard," Hidan muttered. Itachi sighed yet again as Sasori, Tobi, and Zetsu came back towards the table.

"Sorry for being late. I found these two in the science labs. Tobi was covered in this green, glowing... I have no idea. He seems clean now... I think. Either way, it was disgusting and smelled," Sasori said with clear disgust on his face.

"Tobi was good boy and let Zetsu use him as an experiment!" Tobi was a very energetic kid that always wore this orange mask that looked like a lollipop. No one really knew why since he had a normal face. To be honest... it was kinda creepy. The teachers just stopped asking questions after the first week.

"Yes, Tobi was a very good boy. I should eat you- No, no! Mustn't eat Tobi!" And as for Zetsu, he was a pale boy with green hair. He also had a split personality which is apparently cannibalistic. Everyone fears that side, but they all got used to it after a while... until Zetsu started sprinkling salt on Hidan's arm. That didn't go very well.

"Oh dear lord," Sasori muttered as he shoved the two towards the table. "Alright, now I have to tell you guys somethi- Itachi, why is your face red?"

"Oh, uh... it's just the heat," he replied. Kisame snickered as Sasori raised an eyebrow, not buying it but letting it slide.

"As I was saying, I have something to tell you all."

"Tobi wants to know, Tobi wants to know!"

"Well, a friend of mine and his brother are having some problems at home and are staying with me. They are from Iwagakure so their lifestyle is just a little bit different from ours. They'll be here after school so we can get their schedules and books for when Monday comes around. Now, what I am asking is for all of you to come over tomorrow for a little while so he can get used to you and at least know someone besides me. And Itachi, if you can make it, try to get your brother to tag along. His brother is Sasuke's age as well."

'That's not what I was expecting,' Itachi thought to himself. He thought Sasori would give them a description of the two, not just state that he wants us to meet them Saturday. He already knew all of that.

"So what do the little fuckers look like?" Hidan asked. 'Well, that was a start.'

"Language," Kakuzu repeated.

"Yeah, and I said to shut up, you stingy bastard," Hidan spat.

"Yes, and if I had a-"

"Don't even start!" Hidan yelled back.

'Lovely,' Itachi thought. 'More attention drawn to us. Just what we needed.' Sasori sighed.

"Well, I don't really have an updated photo, but I do have one from five years ago, if you could care to look at that one."

"Seriously? You haven't gotten a recent photo?" Kisame asked.

"What's the point if they'll be here today?" Sasori asked as he flicked the picture onto the table, landing right infront of Itachi. He picked it up, finding himself looking at two blonde boys: one around the age of 12 and the other looking like he was 8. The older one seemed... feminine though. He flipped the picture over, finding "Deidara; 12, Naruto; 8" scrawled on the back. Itachi flipped the picture back over, looking at their faces.

The one whom he presumed was Naruto was smiling with his eyes closed. He looked like he had whiskers etched onto his cheeks and was wearing a black t-shirt with orange shorts. His hair was short and spiky, sticking up everywhere. The boy on the left was probably Deidara. He looked a bit like a female, his long blonde hair in a low ponytail (1) and some of it blinding his right eye from sight. He wore a big grin on his face, his visible eye closed (it looked like he wore a lot of eyeliner), and his left hand made a sideways peace sign. He was wearing a silver shirt accompanied with black pants. They both looked like they had a cheery disposition. Itachi slid the photo across the table and Hidan grabbed it before anyone else could.

"Holy shit! This dude looks like a freaking chick!" Hidan practically yelled.

"Hidan..." Kakuzu started.

"No!" Hidan yelled. The picture magically wove its way through the table until Sasori took it back.

"You guys will get a better look at them tomorrow, alright? Even I don't know what they look like now but if I look for a blonde kid with whiskers on his face and another blonde who looks likes he's wearing a lot of eye liner, I'll know."

"Well, I know I'll be there tomorrow, and if I'm going Sasuke will too. It's not really as if he does anything else," Itachi said, muttering the last part to himself. Kisame and Sasori still heard it though, Kisame snickering and Sasori smiling lightly.

"Good. At least I know someone's coming," Sasori said.

"Eh, might as well," Kisame said. "I wanna see what type of people you used to hang around with back there in Suna and Iwa."

"I have no other fucking thing to do so I might as well pretend I even give a shit," Hidan said.

"What about you, Kakuzu?" Sasori asked.

"Leaving on Saturday would mean me taking my car. Me taking my car would mean me wasting money."

"I'll fucking bring you!" Hidan yelled.

"Getting in the car with you would mean getting in a crash which would resort to going to the hospital which is expensive."

"Gah!" Hidan yelled.

"Kakuzu, just go with Hidan," Kisame said.

"Fine, but Hidan has to pay me five dollars," Kakuzu replied.

"What?" Hidan yelled.

"Hidan! Just do it!" Kisame yelled. Hidan sneered before he crossed his arms over his chest, muttering something about 'stingy bastards' and 'unworthy sacrifices.'

"Tobi will go! Tobi will be a good boy!" Tobi said.

"Zetsu?"

"I think I'll go. No, I won't. No, no, I want to go. No, I don't want to go- Yes, I'm going!- No, I'm not-"

"Okay... we'll see if you come or not. Just no scaring them, okay?" Sasori said.

"Will Leader-sama and Konan be there?" Itachi asked.

"I'd like to think so, yes. I've talked to them about it. It seems they were both given a week off from college so they'll be, hopefully, coming tomorrow." Back when all of them had started high school, they met up with two juniors and they formed an organization called Akatsuki. Basically, they were just a group that caused some trouble here and there and always stuck together. Their leader was Pain, but they all referred to him as Leader-sama and Konan was like the vice-president, in simple terms. The group had been together for about two years before Pain and Konan graduated and went off to college. They still keep in touch though.

"Finally. Those two were given a break and it can be just like old times," Kisame said. "For some reason, I think Deidara will be just fine. I just hope Itachi doesn't kill him." Itachi's eyebrow twitched slightly before he looked at the other boy.

"Why the hell does everyone think I'm going to kill the boy?" Itachi asked, quite curious himself. Kisame shrugged.

"He just looks like the type... you'd end up hating and wanting to kill on first sight," Kisame replied as if it was the simplest thing ever. Itachi glared at his friend.

"I doubt I would. I bet I won't kill him on first sight," Itachi challenged.

"If not first sight, then at least on the second sight," Sasori joined in. Itachi turned his glare to Sasori which only earned him a sly smile.

"You guys are unbelievable," Itachi said.

"Eh, the truth hurts," Kisame said, laughing at the Uchiha's glare.

"Whatever," Itachi said as the bell rang, signaling that 6th period was over with. Itachi got up from the table, saying goodbye to his friends before heading off to his locker. Next was 7th period. Only two more periods left and then he was home free for the rest of the day. He just really wanted this day to end.

The day had finally come to an end. Itachi was walking out to his car, looking through his bag to make sure he had remembered everything. Once he got to his car, he skimmed through his agenda quickly to check all of his assignments. He looked through his bag again and realized he had forgotten a book: Science.

Itachi quietly cursed to himself before placing his bag in the car and making his way back into the school. Itachi walked to his locker, opening it and rummaging for his science book and notes. 'Damn Sasori and his notes. Because of him, I forgot about the homework.' Itachi pulled out his science book and notes just as he heard Sasori's familiar voice fill the halls.

"Um, I believe your homeroom is over here... Oh, Itachi! What are you doing here?" Sasori asked as he rounded the corner, now looking at the Uchiha. Itachi raised his science book up by his head.

"I seemed to have forgotten my science book. Remind me never to pass notes with you again during class. Really makes me forget about my assignments," Itachi said. Sasori smirked before replying.

"Ah, I'll have to remember that." It was then that Itachi noticed that a boy around 17 was standing next to him. He had blonde hair, part of it tied in a high pony tail with the rest hanging down. Part of his hair covered his right eye, leaving his left the only one visible. He had bright, blue eyes and they seemed to be darkened with eye liner. He'd have to ask about that later. He looked pretty feminine, but his slightly muscular build proved different.

"Eh, Sasori-danna? Who's this?" the boy Itachi assumed was Deidara asked.

"Danna?" Itachi asked. Sasori looked at Itachi mouthin 'long story' before looking back at Deidara.

"Deidara, this is Itachi, a good friend of mine. He was coming over tomorrow anyway, but I suppose you guys get an early introduction," Sasori explained. Deidara blinked as he looked at Itachi before his face broke into a wide grin.

"Oh, I see. Well, nice to meet you, yeah!" Deidara said. Itachi raised an eyebrow before nodding.

"Agreed. Has he gotten all of his books?" Itachi asked.

"Yes, he has. It seems he has a few classes with you and me. I won't be able to show him all of the classrooms so if he needs help could you-?"

"Yeah, don't worry about it,"Itachi replied before Sasori finished, causing the redhead to smile. Itachi looked back at Deidara only to find the blonde staring at him. Itachi shifted his weight before speaking.

"Is something wrong?" he asked. Deidara looked at him for a few more seconds before voicing his reply.

"Doesn't Itachi mean weasel?" he asked. "Then again, you kinda do look like one." Itachi's twitch went unnoticed by the blonde, but was seen by the redhead.

'So that's what he meant by "Don't kill him."' Itachi realized this was going to be a long school year.

Author's Note: Woot! I'm done! :D Well, I will most likely be updating this soon, so whoever is reading this, stay posted. Um, it was fun writing something different for once and these guys are just sooooo amazing. Again, sorry for grammar mistakes and OOC-ness. I tried, I really tried for my firstie with Naruto. So please give me some advice and such on how to improve. And if you see any grammatical errors, please tell me! My spellcheck sucks major dick balls. -_- So, onto mid-fic notes:

(1) The reason why I described Deidara's hair like that was because before he became a rogue Iwa-nin, he wore his hair like that. Yeah, seriously. I have the screenshots and his hair was like that so I described it like that. Therefore... its the way it is. But I changed his hair style back to his current one... well, as current as you can get. XDD

So I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I had a little writer's block halfway through to the cafeteria scene, but hey, you can't blame me. Lol I just made this story on a whim, but fun whim that I am willing to continue. XD

Please Review! 8DD
