A/N: I love cliff hangers … when I write them! ^-^ Anywho, I can't believe I got this many reviews already! I am so happy! Umm … okay, for the one comment on who Rach was going to date from the Akatsuki … I am still working on everything, so hang in there with me! And I know most of the Akatsuki aren't in the story right now, but I just came up with an idea, so hopefully it works! I think that's it. Nothing too much happens in this chapter, but the information is needed! Enjoy and please review. I am sorry if the character I portray isn't like the last chapter in anyway. You see I am taking a college course class right now and I had homework that I wanted to get done and yeah … R&R&F! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Haha you think I own Naruto? Are you insane! Man I would love to though … I could do a lot with allllll of that money and I could move to Asia and …. Yeah…
"In order to survive, we cling to all we know and understand. And label it reality. But knowledge and understanding are ambiguous. That reality could be an illusion. All humans live with the wrong assumptions. Isn't that another way of looking at it?" – Itachi (I felt like being philosophical for this quote!)
"No way. This … this can't be real." I said. It was real life, not Fanfiction!
"Jess … is this a dream or is it real?"
"It's a nightmare."
"Really?"
"No. I lied." She punched me then.
"What was that for?" I asked getting up. She got up too and we stood facing each other.
"You lied to me! That is not cool, especially in this situation!"
"You don't think I don't know that? I had to make it a little less scary!" I screamed back at Rach. We were both caught up in our little discussion, that we didn't hear someone walk up to us and push us on opposite sides of my room. We stared at each other in disbelief. Then we looked at the person who was in front of us. Itachi Uchiha. Yup, my crush was right in front of me.
"Enough." Then I heard a grunt. I looked at my feet and I saw … Sasuke? This wasn't good. He was in the clothes when he was in team Hebi. That meant that he was about to kill Itachi… Itachi looked down at my feet and saw Sasuke start to stir a little and started to walk toward him. But I interfered.
"No! You will not fight your brother while you are in my house!" I said to him as I stepped in front of Sasuke. He stopped walking and stood in front of me. I was a little scared, but who wouldn't be. He was a S-ranked criminal that had the Sharingan!
"Move." Then I heard Rach scream a little. Both Itachi and I looked over to see what was wrong, when I saw a giant tampon. 'Oh god… fishy was here too. Wait … where is he?' I thought because I only saw his giant tampon sword … right next to Rach's head.
"Rach, when did that tampon get there?" I asked seriously. She shook her head.
"I don't know! I was watching you talk to Itachi when-"
"Ugh, Itachi, what the hell happened?" Rach, Itachi , and I all looked at my window to see Kisame step through the open doors. Then he stopped at the scene at hand. Rach was by his tampon sword, I was in between the Uchiha brothers, and to top it off, Itachi was conscious and Sasuke wasn't. Could this get any worse?
"Who the hell are these people? Where the hell are we?" Kisame asked walking toward Rach. She stood there watching Kisame walk toward her.
"I do not know." Then Itachi looked at me. I looked at him and saw his red eyes. I wasn't in Mangekyou Sharingan yet, though, so I was okay … for the moment.
"Who are you and how did we get here?" They always seemed to ask those questions. But I didn't have the answer! I looked over to Rach for help, but Itachi blocked my way.
"Answer me now or else." Then Rach came over to me, completely ignoring Itachi.
"Jess, what are we going to do? When Sasuke wakes up, he and Itachi are going to fight to the death. We can't let that happen. And what about your mom! She is coming in here at six! We have about four hours to come up with something." She said. I looked at her for a moment and then back at Itachi and Kisame. 'Okay, Itachi, Kisame, and Sasuke are here. It seems like when Itachi and Sasuke are about to fight, but maybe Rach and I could delay them, make them more civilized toward each other.' I thought for a moment looking into Itachi's eyes. When I realized what I was doing, I looked away and at Rach. I gave her a silent message and she nodded. We had come up with an idea. We were going to try to talk to the Uchiha brothers and try to talk some sense into their brains.
"You get Sasuke!" I said suddenly. She glared.
"Why me? You are the one who had the crush on him!"
"Yeah, had! Past tense! And because he is passed out and I don't do well with passed out people!"
"And like I do!" She yelled back at me. We both glared at each other until Itachi grabbed my arm. I screamed a little as he put a kunai to my throat. I looked at Rach with wide eyes as Kisame took Rach and also put a kunai to her throat.
"You girls are so annoying. I can't believe we got stuck with you! Itachi, what are we going to do. Your brother looks like he is going to be passed out for some time and we need information, now!" Kisame said.
"Take that girl into that room there and interrogate her until she talks. I will talk to this one." Rach and I looked at each other and freaked. We were about to be interrogated by the Akatsuki! I gave her a 'good luck and don't say anything important' look and she did the same to me. I was wrong before. Interrogation was worse and scared the living shit out of me!
My POV
I saw Rach and Kisame go into my bathroom, which was kind of funny because it wasn't the biggest bathroom and Kisame would have fun trying to make room for himself, and then I was pushed on my bed. (a/n: Not like that pervs!) I was in a sitting position with Itachi standing in front of me. I looked up at him and waited for the questioning to begin. I hated being asked questions, the people asking questions were always boring and the questions weren't any better.
"Who are you?"
"Jessica, but everyone calls me Jess." I said looking at him in the eyes. I was a little scared of him, but hey, I liked his eyes. They were red and pretty and … yeah.
"Where are we?" Now, how was I going to answer this one? 'I guess it's the long explanation!' I thought smiling.
"Well … you are in Northern Illinois just outside of Chicago in a country called the United States of America, which is on the continent North America, which is on a planet called Earth, which is in the galaxy called … actually I don't know what galaxy we are on … oh well." I said. He looked completely and utterly confused. 'Good!' I thought. Maybe he'll be too confused to kill Rach and me!
"What country are we in?" Was he dumb? I already answered that question! But, of course, I knew he meant to ask if we were in the Fire country, et cetera.
"America," He was getting pissed, I could tell since he decided to make me stand again and he put me against the wall with a kunai against my throat … again.
"What? I answered your question! I didn't lie! You would be able to tell when I lied because you are the great Itachi Uchiha!" I said quickly, hoping that he would chill, but he only narrowed his eyes.
"How do you know us?" Now how was I going to tell him that! I mean, I guess I could tell him the truth, but then Kisame and Itachi might do something, what? I had no idea, but S-Ranked criminals were capable of many things!
"Um … well, I could tell you, but you won't believe me. Trust me on this! I know you don't know me and all, but, you would not believe me no matter how much I tried to tell you … actually …" I started to think. Maybe I could get on my laptop and show him… hmm … that was an interesting thought. But I was pulled out of my thoughts when I felt the kunai against my throat get pressed down harder.
"Try me." I looked at him for a moment before I sighed.
"Fine, but in order to tell you, you need to let me get on my computer. Don't worry, I won't try anything! But you might want to get Kisame, just so I can show both of you at the same time." He thought for a moment looking at my eyes before he dropped the kunai and grabbed my arm and we walked to my bathroom and opened the door …. 'What the hell happened? I didn't hear anything!' I thought looking at the scene in front of me. Itachi looked just as shocked as me, but he hid it a little better.
"Rach, um … what happened?"
