Sasuke scowled, "Ever heard of knocking?"

I grinned and shook my head while Naruto stated loud and cheerful 'nope' while I tagged on: "You shouldn't have given us keys if you didn't want us just waking into your house, Sasuke-kun."

Predictably his scowl worsened. A funny thing I'd learned a long time ago was that scowling meant he was pretending to be grouchy or disgruntled about something or other and frowning meant he was serious. So obviously, we were in the clear, not that we needed Sasuke's facial expressions to tell us such anyway.

So while Naruto made his way into the kitchen and I headed for the large bookcase of movies, Sasuke continued watching whichever NCIS episode was currently airing. See, this was a ritual the three of us started all the way back in elementary school when Naruto and I used to bug Sasuke just to get under his skin, now it's just hanging out and watching a movie together. Naruto raided Sasuke's kitchen for the food, I picked the movie and Sasuke just watched what he was watching until we were ready. This was our ritual for Friday nights; every other day of the week is a different story.

I don't know why, but I felt in the mood for a horror movie. I mean, the boys let me pick because only every once in a while do I pick a chick-flick, but for the most part I pick action and comedy movies. I've never chosen a horror movie though, I've never wanted to. But I do now, so I moved to horror section and started browsing through it.

"Wow, un. This is such a large house, it's like a mansion." I didn't turn at the voice; I didn't know it or recognize it which it meant it was one of Itachi's – Sasuke's older brother by five years – friends and will most likely just keep moving right past us. So naturally I kept browsing until a title popped out at me. Drag Me to Hell. I tug it out from between the movies it was in between and began reading the back.

A loan officer ordered to evict an old woman from her home finds herself the recipient of a supernatural curse, which turns her life into a living hell. Desperate, she turns to a seer to try and save her soul, while evil forces work to push her to a breaking point.

Supernatural, huh? I raised the movie over my head, "Hey, Sasuke, have you watched this one?"

"Which one is it?" I rolled my eyes even though I knew he couldn't see it. Lazy ass.

"Stop being lazy and look at the title."

"You have the back to me."

I sighed. "It's called Drag Me to Hell."

"Oh. Wait, that's a horror movie." Translation: Why did you pick a horror movie? And of course he was also pointing out the fact that it was a horror movie, as if I hadn't noticed and read the back of it.

But I responded to what he said and not what he meant while ignoring his indirect insult. "Thank you captain obvious."

He growled at me. Translation: just answer the unspoken question.

I shrugged knowing he could see it, my back to him or not. "I'm in the mood for a horror movie."

"No, I haven't seen it, but it looked good, so I planned to get around to it."

I bobbed my head and put the movie beside my foot. I typically found a few movies no more than five and the three of us picked from there. And again I was browsing. Damn, I didn't know they had such a big collection of horror movies. I'll have to remember that for next time I want to watch one. Which will probably be a while.

Oh here's another one. Sorority Row.

When five sorority girls inadvertently cause the murder of one of their sisters in a prank gone wrong, they agree to keep the matter to themselves and never speak of it again so they can get on with their lives. This proves easier said than done when after graduation a mysterious killer goes after them and anyone who knows their secret…

…oh wow. This seems more like a gore than anything. Still I tossed it in the direction I was sure Sasuke was in. I heard the telltale sounds that Sasuke had caught it. I then turn to him; he had an odd look on his face. He looked to me, eyebrow raised, "Seriously?"

I shrugged once more, brushing the incredulous look I was getting, "It seems like a gore to me, have you seen it?"

He nodded, "It's good, you know if you enjoy watching black hooded, mysterious people suddenly appearing and kill people."

I double blinked and caught the move case when he tossed it back to me. I turned Sasuke's statement in my head. That sounds like horror gore, not horror thriller…I set it down next to Drag Me to Hell in a maybe pile. Then I continued on.

"Wow, un, a girl who likes horror movies." Same voice as earlier. Does he like 'wow' and 'un' or something? Guess he's not gone yet. Oh well, not like it's my business or anything.

I shrugged not pausing for moment, "No, I'm just in the mood for one. There's a difference."

Oh how bout this one: Amityville Horror

George and Kathy Lutz are a young couple who are looking for a new home, and think they've found a dream house in Amityville, Long Island - a large and beautiful home available at a bargain price. George thinks that there must be a catch, and learns that the house has a dark history - a year before, a man living in the house murdered his family in their sleep, claiming he was commanded to commit the crime by demons. Shrugging off stories that the house is haunted, George and Kathy move in with their three kids, only to discover that something evil lurks within the house, and even Father McNamara, an expert on possession, is powerless to clear the dark spirits from the home.

Okay see, the more I read, the more wonder how the hell it is I'm still in the mood for a good scare.

"How so, un?" So it's just the un now?

"Because, I'm not particularly fond of horror, it scares me and I can't say I enjoy being scared senseless." I placed the movie on top of Drag Me to Hell. "Anyone who does, I would recommend going to a psychiatric ward or a mental institute or anyone else in that profession because obviously, they have they're wired quite oddly." I don't think anyone could actually be wired 'wrong' because everyone has a different perspective in which they're entitled to, and therefore just because it's completely different from the average person's thought pattern doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong. Just pleasantly or unpleasantly different.

"But you're in a horror movie mood, un." What a weird habit.

I bobbed my head, not sure if he saw and didn't care if he did. "Yep. Don't ask me why, though. With every title I read, I just want to watch a horror movie all the more. I can't figure out why, but oh well."

"That's cause you're crazy, Sakura." Naruto called from the kitchen and something inside me told me that Sasuke was smirking in agreement.

"Shut it." I snapped half-heartedly at the both of them as I returned to the large selection of movies.

I heard that unnamable, but becoming familiar voice snort.

Ah-ha! Unborn

A supernatural thriller about a 19-year-old girl haunted by a "dybbuk" (a malevolent wandering soul of Jewish folklore) that was once a young boy ruthlessly slaughtered in Auschwitz . Casey Beldon was just a young girl when her mother vanished out of her life. And though Casey has never forgiven her mother for abandoning their family, she begins to understand why when a tortured ghost begins stalking her by day, and horrific nightmares make her scared of falling asleep at night. Hoping that her spiritual advisor, Rabbi Sendak, possesses the power to make these awful visions stop, Casey enlists his aid and gradually uncovers a family curse that stretches all the way back to Nazi Germany. An entity with the ability to possess anyone or anything that it comes into contact with is stalking Casey from another plane of reality, and its gaining strength with each new possession. Now, as the curse is unleashed, the frightened girl realizes that her only chance for survival is to close a door that was pried open by someone who was never born, and prevent the force from crossing over into the physical world. Though her sympathetic boyfriend and best friend do everything they can to help, Casey is ultimately left to face this otherworldly horror on her own.

Holy shit. That's some creepy stuff.

"Deidara, are you terrorizing Otouto's friends?" That's Itachi, I've been around Sasuke for far too long not to know his brother's voice just by hearing it. And the voice's name is Deidara. How unique. And fitting, as I'm learning.

"No, un. Just trying to understand why someone who doesn't like horror wants to watch a really scary horror movie, yeah." Okay so the odd speech pattern is 'un' and 'yeah' after most sentences. Odd yet interesting.

I placed the movie case on top of Amityville Horror.

I heard a snort. "Deidara, Sakura thinks differently. She acts on a lot of her instincts and impulses. If her impulse is to watch a horror movie, then she's going to watch one no matter what logic tells her will be the aftermath of the action." Sasuke. He knows me like the back of his hand. We've known each other for a good majority of our lives, if we didn't know stuff like this about each other, then I'd say we have a problem.

"Oh, that's quite an odd way of doing things, yeah."

Now it was my turn to snort.

Finally I reached the end of the section without anymore titles popping out at me. Well, at least I found four. So I picked up said four movies.

"You're going to watch all of those." It came from a very tall man who for one reason or another actually had blue skin. Itachi has quiet the odd group of friends, though he does fit right in…

I shook my head. "No, we normally find five or so movies and pick one from there." Naruto appeared with a tray of snack plus his 'almighty ramen'…don't ask. "Okay, so, Drag Me to Hell, Sorority Row, Amityville Horror or Unborn?"

"What's Drag Me to Hell about?" Naruto asked. In response I read the back of it. "Oh."

"Amityville Horror." Sasuke stated still watching his show. I'd make a face, but I know he'd seen it. So…oh hell, why not? I stuck my tongue out at him, his gaze or eyes for that matter, didn't even waver, "I saw that."

I pouted, "of course you did."

Deidara snorted, obviously finding our petty argument funny. He was sprawled out across the love seat. Long blonde hair and pretty blue eyes. So basically, the masculine version of Ino. Okay, that's a bit horrifying all on its own.

Itachi sighed, "Do you two ever grow up?" I just realized that Itachi was lounging in a chair and Blue Guy was in another chair while a bored-looking redhead had seated himself on the couch next to Sasuke, and Naruto had taken the raven-haired teen's other side. Which left me next to the blonde I hardly knew. Oh well.

I raised an eyebrow. "Are you four watching the movie with us?"

Itachi shrugged, Redhead nodded, Blue Guy gave a 'why not?' Deidara was actually the only one to give a straight verbal answer of 'Yeah, un'.

I nodded, "Cool, then do any of you care what movie it is?"

Nope. None of them did. They all gave basically the answer of 'don't care.' Gee, how helpful.

I honestly wanted to see Unborn. Which means it's either Unborn or Amityville Horror unless Naruto picks Drag Me to Hell or Sorority Row.

"Meh, I'll go with Drag Me to Hell." This of course earned him a glare from the both of us. But since he was used to being on the receiving end of such things, he didn't even look the slightest bit fazed.

"Well, then how do we pick?" I asked looking between my boys.

"Rock, paper, scissors?" Naruto suggested.

Sasuke shrugged, which meant he had no objections. "On three."

"One. Two. Three."

Naruto and Sasuke have this odd tendency of being the exact opposite of one another and I always ended up lumped with one or the other. In this case Naruto and I both had paper while Sasuke had scissors. Amityville Horror it is.

I put the other three back where I found them and popped the movie into the DVD player, set the case down on top of said player, and plopped down on Deidara's feet.

He obviously didn't expect the move if his startled expression was any indication, "Hey, un!"

"You should have moved then." I stated, rolling my eyes as I got up. He moved his feet to the floor and I sat back down, only to have him place his feet in my lap right afterwards. I didn't even bother saying anything, I just leaned against the arm rest, propping my elbow on it and chin on my hand while I set my other arm on top of the feminine seeming guy's calves. And thus the movie began.

..:Xx0o0xX:..

I'm not going to lie: simple ghost stories freak me out. So this movie actually ended up scaring me out of my wits. I just didn't realize how much until I found myself between Deidara and the cushions with my arms wound tightly around his neck as if holding on for dear life and I had most of my face buried into his chest. I could feel not only my cheeks but my ears and hairline burning once I realized this after the movie was over and the lights turned back on. My goodness, the color of my face must be at least scarlet red. This thought just made my face feel all the warmer. I went to scramble away from Deidara, only to find that he had wrapped an arm around my back which was keeping me in place.

Suddenly I heard a chuckle and realized it sounded like Naruto, then he burst into a fit of laughs; I could even hear Sasuke and Itachi's chuckles mixed in. My color went a notch darker. I removed my face completely from Deidara's nicely muscled torso to send the best bone chilling glare I could from my position at everyone in the room, because honestly, they all looked amused on different levels. Naruto and Blue Guy were laughing quite loudly while the Uchiha brothers and Redhead were chuckling. I couldn't stop my eyes from narrowing, never one to like being teased.

"Shut up!"
