.Last Reunion.
Flashback
"Jessie! Jessie!" A young neko girl's voice rang out as she ran up to a raven haired girl, about the same age. "Sammy!" She turned and squealed, hugging her best friend. "Wow! How long has it been?" Sam asked as she let go. "Gosh. It feels like years!" Jess smiled brightly. "Oh, come on, you two. It's only been around two months. Geez." Mrs. Uchiha laughed as she ushered them inside. Mrs. Valentine and Mrs. Uchiha were best friends, like their daughters. They'd have a tea date like this every few months, since there villages were so far apart. "Go on and play." Mrs. Valentine smiled, nodding them off. The two hyper girls ran off and into the back yard, laughing and giggling the whole time. "I missed you sooo much!" Sam opened her arms, showing how much. "I missed you too, Sammy! It's so uncool here with my brothers! And boring too!" Jess complained as she plopped onto her butt. Jess wore black pants and a black short sleeve shirt, on the back was the Uchiha clan symbol. Her hair was pulled up into a tight pony tail. Sam wore a short kimono, in length it went down to her knees. Its design was black with red flames on it, her blood line trait. Her brown hair was straight, neither wore shoes. "So… How's Itachi-kun?" Sam leaned towards Jess, whispering quietly. She chuckled at her friend's edginess, "He's fine. Gosh. I still can't believe you…" She was stopped by Sam's hand over her mouth. "SHHH!" The neko put a finger to her lips, making the 'shushing' noise. Jess burst out laughing, falling back, and holding her sides. "Whaa! You're sooo mean!" She whined, sniffling.
"Guess what, darling." Sam's mother spoke up as the two walked back into the room. "What?" She cocked her head to the side. "We're spending the night!" Her mom almost squealed. "Really?" Both Sam and Jess yelled in unison. "Well, your mother and I have a lot to catch up on. So we figured it'd be alright if you girls spent the night." Mrs. Uchiha added with a smile. "Yay!" The girls screamed again, hugging each other. "Now, go and find Itachi. He's suppose to be training in the forest." Mrs. Uchiha smiled again. They nodded, accepting their mission. With that, Jess was the first out the door, followed by Sam.
"So what are we going to do all night?" Jess inquired, crossing her arms behind her head. "Tell scary stories?" Sam blinked, walking beside her. "Hm. I guess bro can tell us them." Jess pondered out loud. "No way! Itachi's stories are too scary! I had nightmares after the last time!" Sam shuddered. Jess merely laughed, "You're such a wimp!" "Am not!" She retorted. "Are too!" "Not!" "Too!" It continued for a few minutes before they both ran out of breath. As they continued on their way through the forest, something rustled to their left. "What was that?" Sam instinctively stepped behind Jess. "I…Don't know. Is someone there?" Jess finally got her courage up enough to call out. There was silence. "Boo!" A boy lunged out of the bushes. Both girls screeched loudly, obviously frightened. "Damn you, Hyuuga!" Jess was the first to regain her composure. Sam was still shaking violently, easily traumatized from all of Itachi's stories about things that lived in the forest. Corey laughed loudly, pointing to the girls. "Oh my God! You should have seen your faces! You guys looked like you saw a ghost!" He continued laughing, unable to stop. Jess blushed from embarrassment, "Shut up, loser!" She smacked him up side the head. "Ow! What was that for?" Corey blinked, holding his head. "Take a guess!" She rolled her eyes. "Geez! You're so violent! Runs in the family, I guess!" He mumbled under his breath. "What did you say about my family?" She roared, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt. "N-nothing!" He stuttered. Jess shook him back and forth, "Liar!" Sam had her eyes closed tight, still shaking slightly, as she was trying to regain control of her nerves. Suddenly a shadow loomed over her, from behind. Slowly she opened her eyes, terrified of what it could be. "A…Big…Scary…Monster…" She spun around, her eyes wide as she fell onto her butt with a thump. Jess stopped shaking Corey and looked over her shoulder to her best friend. "Itachi?" Jess blinked. "Itachi…" Sam stared up at him. "Itachi!" Corey looked over after everything stopped spinning. Itachi held out his hand to the slightly shaking neko girl. "Yay! Big brother!" Jess pushed Corey away as she ran to her brother. Sam took Itachi's hand and stood up, brushing her butt off. Corey slowly got to his feet and wandered over to his friends. "Mom sent us to come out and tell you that dinner is almost ready." Jess announced, smiling. "Alright." He smiled back, taking the lead as the three younger ones followed.
"Mom. We're home!" Itachi announced when they all walked in the door. "Good. Now wash up. Dinner will be ready in a few." She yelled from the kitchen, her voice held the usual cheer to it. Jess pushed passed Itachi, dragging Sam along. "We're first!" She hollered over her shoulder. He glared as they rounded the corner. "Hurry up in there." Itachi's voice came from the other side of the bathroom door. "Shut up, loser!" Jess yelled back. Jess was sitting on the sink, snickering. Sam had put the toilet seat down and was sitting on it, kicking her legs lightly. Jess's grand plan was to see how long it took to make Itachi mad. They had been in there for ten minutes and he was already banging on the door. "Sam. Sit there. On the count of three. I'm gonna open the door." Jess whispered, tip toeing up to the door. "Hurry up!" Itachi growled again. Suddenly Jess flung the door open. "It's about time!" Itachi marched into the small room. Sam screamed on queue, "Pervert!" She covered herself, acting like she was really using the toilet. Itachi's face went a bright pink as he stumbled backwards, covering his eyes. "Sorry!" Both girls busted out into fits of giggles and laughter. "Loser! I can't believe you bought it!" Jess fell to her knees. Sam tumbled off the toilet and laid on the floor, giggling crazily. "Why you little brats! You didn't do anything! You just sat in here!" Itachi glared, clenching his fists. "Nu-uh!" Sam stood up. "Yea!" Jess also go to her feet. The two cutely raised their hands up. "See! We washed our hands!" They spoke in unison. "Ugh!" That was all he said before he spun around and left the room. Leaving them to giggle more.
Dinner was quite eventful. Mrs. Uchiha and Mrs. Valentine were laughing about something that had happened the other day. Mr. Uchiha was working late, and Mr. Valentine had opted to stay home. Sasuke was eating with his hands and Jess was feuding with Itachi about being stronger then him. Sam attempted to feed Sasuke some mashed potatoes, but she ended up getting them in her hair. Itachi was snickering behind her back which made Jess punch him in the arm. Which made Mrs. Uchiha scold her, which made Itachi snicker more. Sam then smushed some potatoes in his hair, which made him put a piece of chicken in her mouth, which caused Jess to through the pie at him, which missed and smacked Sam in the face, which made her screech, which made Sasuke laugh, which made both mothers laugh. Yep, it was chaos at dinner. In the end, everyone had to take turns taking baths and then getting dressed in their pajamas. Sasuke was put to bed early, but Itachi, Jess, and Sam were permitted to stay up late.
Jess and Sam were in Jess's room, Sam was sitting on the floor and Jess was stretched out on her bed. "What to do. What to do." Jess repeated as she thought. "Umm…" Sam also tried to think of something. Suddenly a knock at the door interrupted them. "I got it!" Sam jumped up and turned the door knob. Standing in the door way was Itachi, in his hands was a tray with a plate of cookies and three glasses of milk. "Mom thought you two might want a snack." He walked passed her as she shut the door. "Yes! Alright!" Jess stuffed a cookie into her mouth. Itachi sat beside Sam, on the floor. "Tell us a scary story, bro." She spoke with a mouthful of cookies. He nodded softly as Sam wrapped a flees blanket around herself, closing her eyes tightly. "Once there was a…" He trailed off when he saw Sam wince. "A unicorn that was very beautiful…" He continued. "What the heck?" Jess jumped up. "That's not a scary story! That story sucks!" She protested. "Did the unicorn have friends?" She looked up to Itachi. "Yes. He did. He had three friends." He smiled. "Huh? What was his friends like?" Jess inquired curiously. "Well, his one friend was annoying, but he was alright. His other friend was actually his hot tempered little sister…" A smile lay on his lips as he spoke. Jess glared slightly. "And his favorite friend was the nicest and shyest of all. She gets really scared when the unicorn tells scary stories though." He chuckled as he said this. So he continued telling the unicorn story. Jess had fallen asleep before them, Sam was barely keeping her eyes open though. He tucked his little sister in before cleaning up the mess of cookies and cups. When he returned, Sam was laying on the floor, clearly passed out. He gently lifted her into his arms and tucked her in beside his sister. "Someday…" He mumbled, running a finger across her lips. His voice was different though. It wasn't exactly kind and soft like before. More wanting and sadistic. That was the last time they ever saw each other.
