Hmm, two reviews…not bad…could have more though but thanks to those two who did. I hope Kari isn't a mary-sue….i don't like them very much either and I don't want to be a hypocrite, mind it's only the first two chapters so we haven't really gotten to know her very well yet…
This is also taking place a couple months before sasuke and the others become genin.
Oh and one more thing, in order to add more humour to the story I was planning to make every 5th chapter a kind of flashback period, cuz when I was writing this my brain came up with some really funny, and serious stuff that involved Itachi, sasuke, and Kari's past…so vote for 3 of the following story titles: The talk, how Itachi got his sharingan, (not mangyekou) Kari's job, brotherly love, cowboys and Indians, Camping with the uchihas and Why you should never give a 6 year old sugar. Whatever gets the most votes gets written so please review!

Chapter 2
The first day
Kari woke up to a large explosion the next morning and an angry voice yelling…
"NO! NOT AGAIN!"
Kari's original plan was to keep a low profile but curiosity got the better of her and she decided to go check it out. She calmly walked to the kitchen, the smell of burnt pancakes entering her nose. She slowly opened the door to be face to face with some angry batter covered Akatsuki members.
'…What the hell? God and I have to clean this….' She looked to see batter everywhere. She walked in cautiously as the others were walking out. The kitchen had an old run of the mill stove and fridge, a table in the middle and it had a river running through the last little bit of the kitchen. She grabbed a bucket of water and splashed it up the walls to try and get it to run down. After around 2 hours of this process she finally got the kitchen cleaned. 'great…I can barely cook myself…..hmm something good I can cook….POPTARTS!' so off she went making poptarts. She then got back to her room and got out of her pyjamas and into some clothes. Her next mission….to clean the garbage pit that was at some point a living room.
She looked at hidan who was sitting there watching TV instead of with the others eating poptarts in the kitchen, "Why aren't you with the others?"
"I'm fasting."
"Oh." She saw his necklace, "I see." She began to pick up garbage. 'he's part of that Jashin cult. If anyone were to be part of that in my old village they would be killed for sure…' Kari put garbage in a garbage bag. Slowly the others started coming in to watch the idiot box as she tried reaching for the last piece of garbage that was somehow stuck to a higher part of the wall.
Kari tried jumping for it, trying to get it with a stick and was about to get a chair to stand on to reach it when a blue hand just plucked it off. "Thanks…"
"Kisame." She turned to see the shark man.
"Thank you Kisame-san." Kari smiled as she took the piece of garbage from him and into the garbage bag. "Well…time for a break!" she jumped on the couch between Sasori and Deidara.
"Break?" Sasori repeated.
"Your boss didn't say I had to work eight hours straight did he?" Kari asked.
"No…" Sasori answered 'great we have a lazy housekeeper.'
"Then I'll get back to working in a half n hour. If I keep picking up stuff non stop I'm gonna end up being a hunchback." She turned to the TV "what the hell is this crap."
"The collector coin special edition episode!" Kazuku said highly offended.
"Kazuku…give us the remote and you won't get hurt un." Deidara said. Kazuku gave over the remote reluctantly.
"Who's gonna pick the channel now?" Itachi asked.
"Kari-san should choose." Kisame answered.
"Thanks." Kari said as she was given the remote. She began to surf for channels. "Thank god you guys got comedy network."
"What's the comedy network un?" Deidara asked.
"seriously? You haven't heard of it? No wonder you're all in this place and the way you are. Well prepare to laugh anyway." So they began to watch Reno 911 and they laughed alright. "I better clean the entry way now…" Kari sighed then left and began to clean. Finally after 2 hours all the garbage was cleaned. Kari stretched and cracked her back. She then thought she would explore the cave for more work since she did all the things that she thought were the most important.
A strange and familiar smell registered in her brain. Blood. She followed her nose and opened the door where the smell came from. The strong metallic smell that hit her senses at that moment was enough to make her want to puke but then again Kari wasn't one to show weakness until she was sure she was alone. She shut the door and ran a little way from that room. One thing she did see in that short span was the symbol on the floor that was exactly the same on hidan's necklace. 'that man, I don't know how he can do those rituals but I guess if you're devoted to anything that much you're willing to do everything for it. I guess someday I'll find out how that feels.'
She began to make her way around and found the laundry room along with a few other rooms. In the laundry room there was part of the same river that flowed from the kitchen, soap and a washboard along with mountains of clothes. She sighed as she began to do laundry and she was almost done 2 ½ hours later when she had a small problem. 'mens dirty underwear…great. Well…if I don't wash them then who will?' so she washed them.
Kari continued to explore the cave when she came across a slightly open door which had a large hole in the roof allowing sun in and all different kinds of plants. She was admiring the beauty of this, a voice said…
"A delectable young woman…" Zetsu's white side spoke.
"Yes lets eat her." Zetsu's black side added.
Kari immediately did the first thing that came to mind 'get the hell outta there!' so off she ran. She quickly looked behind to see if she was being followed and crashed into something that thankfully didn't feel like a cave wall. It was something much worse as Kari looked up into the face of Itachi. They stayed like that for a moment until Kari backed up a few steps slightly blushing cause of their closeness. 'get a grip of yourself girl! You're not the little girl you used to be!' Kari gave Itachi a glare 'he betrayed sasuke, he betrayed Konoha and he betrayed you!' her conscious screamed. She walked past him down the hall.
Itachi continued walking, he knew that he deserved the cold behaviour he got from her, but why would she blush if she hated him? This confused him slightly but he drove that out of his mind. What he thought was disturbing was that ever since she came he had trouble with his inner child, it was trying to take over his rational thinking. His thoughts were cut short when he crashed into a door. 'note to self: thinking and walking is dangerous.' He thought.
Kari shut her room door. She was done her work anyway, she walked over to her bed but not before tripping over her pack on the way, "why am I always tripping over things damn it!' she angrily yelled rubbing her sore foot. She took out the first thing she touched which happened to be a picture frame with a picture.
The picture was a picture of her, Sasuke, Shisui and Itachi before she and Itachi went for their chunnin exams. Sasuke had his eyes shut and a big toothy grin on his face (he had just lost 2 teeth) he was perched on Itachi's shoulders. Itachi had a small grin on his face, he had one arm around Kari who was winking at the camera and doing the peace sign and another arm around shisui who was waving. Kari had Itachi in half an embrace and Shisui had an arm around Itachi.
Kari put the picture on the nightstand as she felt tears well up in her eyes. 'I often wonder about what life would've been like if that dolt hadn't have done what he did…' she sniffed and wiped away the tear that escaped her mask. 'why? Why did this have to happen? I should've figured it out when he was acting strange, I could've done something…he tortured Sasuke, and murdered them then disappeared and left me with the broken pieces, he broke my heart when he did that.' Purple energy began to flow from her body that formed flames. Kari looked surprised for a second and quickly suppressed it back inside her body. 'that hasn't happened in a while…' was her last thought before falling asleep.
Around half-n-hour later kisame knocked on the door. He got no answer so he peeked into her room to find her asleep. He quietly shut the door and went back to the others in the kitchen. "she's out cold."
"she's interesting enough." Hidan commented.
'yeah she is.' Itachi thought.
