Remote

By: Shio and Bliss Co.

Bliss: Chapter 3, here we go!

Shio: Sorry we took so long! We love you, but we're procrastinators. Well, I am.

Bliss: Yeah, she is. I have to force her...all the time...She has the attention span of an acorn shell.

Shio: Yes I do. Now, Please read!

Itachi stared out his bedroom window and watched Kakuzu's dog chase the little girl playfully. Well, the little girl did not take it as playfully. Poor kid.

Then here was the blue man chasing after the dog apparently trying to stop it, and Kakuzu chasing after him, apparently trying to speak to him.

Itachi looked around searching for Hidan. He noticed him off to the side, sitting on his driveway eating cookies.

Yep. That's a normal day for ya.

Itachi shook his head and walked away from the window and sat onto his bed. He reached for his guitar and began tuning it. What a long day it had been.

"Itachi-kun! Lookie here!"

Itachi lifted his head from his book to look at his blonde acquittance. "What, Deidara?"

Deidara smiled with a recording camera up to his face. "Say something to the camera, un!"

Itachi glared at Deidara and looked back down to his book.

Deidara paused the recording and removed the camera from his eye. "Oh you're no fun, un! I bet

Danna will say something." Deidara smiled at the thought. He turned around in his seat and smiled at the red-head. "Danna, un!" Holding the camera up to his face he hit the record button. "Say something."

Sasori looked at Deidara. "Don't call me Danna, dammit. I'm not your husband!"

"Hey, Dei! What'cha doin'?"

Deidara turned and held the camera up to Hidan, who just came out of the lunch line with a completely full tray. "Say something!"

Hidan looked confused for a second then smirked. Setting his food down he flipped his hand and a comb came out from his sleeve. Licking his hand he smoothed his hair back then ran his comb threw it. Flicking the comb back down his sleeve he did the shotgun hand pose and made a clicking sound with his tongue.

Deidara laughed. "That's great! At least someone here has a sense of humor."

Hidan chuckled and sat down in front of his tray. Picking up his fork he froze. "Where'd my food go?" He looked up to everyone and winced. "Guys..." Here was Itachi eating his Snackables PB&J sandwhich, Kakuzu eating his Jello, Sasori eating his cookies, and Deidara drinking his chocolate milk. Hidan looked down at his almost empty tray. "All I have left is this...Chicken thing..." He picked up the taco shell full of chicken and tipped it to the side, all the juice dripped from it. "Eww..." He made a silent sob and bit into it.

Deidara patted him on the back. "Don't be so melodramatic, un. Save that for drama class."

Kakuzu finished Hidan's Jello and tossed the plastic cup back onto his tray. "He has Home Ec, not Drama."

Hidan smiled proudly. "That's right! I am going to be the perfect housewife."

Sasori laughed. "What? You're marrying a man now?" Finishing up the cookies he threw the plastic wrapping onto Hidan's tray.

Hidan nodded. "Yes," He threw his arm around Itachi. "I am marrying Itachi."

Itachi glared at him. "Remove your arm or I'll rip it off."

Hidan removed his arm and sighed. "Fine, I'll marry a woman. At least she'll be like me."

Deidara looked over the camera to Hidan. "What? A nudist, un?"

Hidan glared at Deidara. "No, hot."

Kakuzu rolled his eyes and threw his paper brown bag onto Hidan's tray. Itachi followed with the PB&J wrapper.

Hidan whimpered and left, going to put the tray away.

"Hey Neji? How do you spell Dinosaur?"

Neji looked at at Sasuke, his pale grey eyes scanning over Sasuke's work. "D-I-E-N-O-S-O-R."

Sasuke smiled and wrote something down in his notebook. "Thanks."

Neji shrugged, his long brown hair falling off of his shoulder. "What are you doing?"

Sasuke shut the notebook and smiled. "Nothing."

Neji sighed. There was never anything to do for inside recess. He liked playing outside with Sasuke. They would run around the playground in a race sometimes. That was fun.

Sasuke shoved the notebook into his desk. "Guess what."

Neji blinked at Sasuke. "What?"

Sasuke pulled something from his desk and held out a dried Caterpillar to Neji. "Naruto found a Caterpillar."

Neji blinked in confusion. "Naruto is the one with the yellow hair right?" Neji has heard Sasuke talking about Naruto a lot, but he's never seen him.

Sasuke nodded. "Yep, and Sakura is the pink haired one." After a second of thinking Sasuke spoke again. "And there's this guy who's really tall and funny looking, he's Naruto's and Sakura-chan's big brother."

Neji took the Caterpillar from Sasuke's hand and looked at it. "Can I come over to your house today?"

Sasuke smiled. "Yeah! That's be fun! Then you can meet Naruto and Sakura!"

Itachi scribbled down answers on the test paper. Damn tests...He clicked his pencil against the desk and glanced over at Sasori's paper.

Sasori slammed his head on the desk. His paper completely empty of answers.

He looked a little further to Hidan who was scribbling some random drawings on the back of his paper. Sudden realization hit Hidan's face and he shot up from his seat. He pointed back and forth between Itachi and himself. "We." He pointed to Kakuzu from across the room. "Are going to Kakuzu's92" value"Kikuyu's, Kudzu's, Jacuzzis, Gauze's, Kudzus, Jakie's, Jake's, Kacy's, Kaja's, Jazz's, Kazoo's, Caz's, KHz's, Kacey's, Kacie's, Kasai's, Kasey's, Kassi's, Caucus's, Keokuk's, Gaza's, Cake's, Caucus, Caucuses, Kamikaze's, Kazoos, Kike's, Cruz's, Garza's, Cause's, Caucasus, Jazzes, Cakes, Gazes, Kamikazes, Kikes, Causes" / house today!"

Kakuzu blinked and looked up from his paper. "What? Where are we going?"

"SIT DOWN!" Mrs. Fuzen yelled at Hidan and smacked him in the head with a ruler.

Hidan yelped and sat down in his set rubbing his head. He flipped a mirror from his left sleeve and a comb from his right. He brushed his hair back and made that clicking sound with his tongue again.

Mrs. Fuzen snatched the mirror and comb from Hidan and threw a pencil onto his desk. "Write."

Hidan grumbled and started writing. Itachi sighed and shook his head, black locks falling from behind his ears to in front of his face and continued to tap his pencil on the desk.

"Dammit, Dei! Stop it!"

"But Danna, un! Your hair is so soft and pretty!"

"Don't call me Danna!"

Itachi and Kakuzu watched Deidara and Sasori run back and forth across the school yard. Deidara had a hairband in his hand, and he was attempting to put Sasori's hair into a little ponytail.

Hidan walked up next to Itachi with his plaid backpack over his shoulder. "What'd I miss?"

Kakuzu shook his head and turned to Hidan. "A lot."

Itachi shook his head and started towards the buses. "I'm leaving them."

Kakuzu followed behind him. "I'm following you."

Hidan watched Sasori and Deidara for a second longer, then turned to follow after Kakuzu. "We're going to your house!"

Kakuzu turned around. "What? Why my house?"

"Oh!" Hidan took off his backpack. "I forgot." He held his backpack to Kakuzu, completely forgetting the topic. "Hold this."

Kakuzu took Hidan's backpack and tossed it to Itachi who dropped it on the ground and kept walking.

Hidan pulled off his hoodie and began running down the bus aisle with no shirt. "Freedom!!!"

Kakuzu blinked and looked down the bus aisle where Hidan was running. "That guy's weird. Makes me wonder about my life."

Itachi nodded. "Agreed."

Hidan came running back down the aisle and up to Itachi. He put his fingers under the rim of Itachi's shirt and attempted to pull it off.

Kakuzu smacked Hidan upside the head with his backpack. "What're you doing?"

Hidan rubbed the back of his head and smiled. "Giving my friends freedom!"

Itachi smoothed out his shirt. "Sometimes we really worry about you."

Hidan's eyes lit up. "Really? You mean I'm loved?"

Kakuzu shook his head and chuckled. "No." He turned around and walked towards their bus.

Itachi nodded. "We mean your sanity." He followed after Kakuzu.

Hidan whimpered and trugged down the sidewalk to grab his backpack and get on the bus after Itachi and Kakuzu.

Itachi jumped off the bus and began walking down the sidewalk towards his house. He would have to talk to his mother about going to Kakuzu's138" value"Kikuyu's, Kudzu's, Jacuzzis, Gauze's, Kudzus, Jakie's, Jake's, Kacy's, Kaja's, Jazz's, Kazoo's, Caz's, KHz's, Kacey's, Kacie's, Kasai's, Kasey's, Kassi's, Caucus's, Keokuk's, Gaza's, Cake's, Caucus, Caucuses, Kamikaze's, Kazoos, Kike's, Cruz's, Garza's, Cause's, Caucasus, Jazzes, Cakes, Gazes, Kamikazes, Kikes, Causes" / house before he actually did.

Hidan ran up next to him, and then past him. "I'll beat you there, you fucking slow ass!"

Kakuzu tore past Itachi and after Hidan. "Dammit! You got a head start!"

A gust of wind blew past Itachi. Sighing he rubbed his neck and took a left onto his driveway and approached his house. Entering the already open door, Hidan tore out of the house with a bag of cookies.

"Your mom said Alright Itachi!" Hidan turned right an ran back down the area where they just came from.

Kakuzu walked out of the house with a cookie in his hand. He slowly trudged down the driveway as Sasuke and Neji came up it.

"Hey Sasuke!" Kakuzu looked down at the smaller version of Itachi.

Sasuke looked up to Kakuzu. "What?"

"You wanna come over and play in my junk yard?"

"Yeah!" Sasuke smiled widely.

"Yeah?"

"YEAH!"

"Well you can't! Big kids only." Kakuzu turned right onto the sidewalk and began walking to his house.

"What...?" Disappointment flew over Sasuke's face.

Itachi looked from the door to his friends already gone and down the road. Shutting the door he followed after them. "See ya tonight Sasuke."

Sasuke winced. "I'm a big kid..."

Neji patted his shoulder. "Is that Naruto over there?" He pointed to the side yard to a blonde waving his hand.

Sasuke smiled widely and waved back. "Yeah! Come on!"

Itachi tossed his backpack onto an old couch as did Hidan in the junkyard. They both looked around in awe. Piles of worthless things stacked up everywhere, from chairs to board games, from toys to wind-up things. Kakuzu definitely expressed that one mans junk is another mans treasure.

Kakuzu tossed his backpack off to the side and sat down in a blue chair, gesturing to other chairs and couches around. "Pick one."

Itachi slumped down in another blue chair around Kakuzu, while Hidan just fell back and lay on the ground.

Kakuzu raised an eyebrow and shook his head at Hidan. "Weirdo."

Hidan shot up from his laying position. "Hey don't you have that fucking huge machine that crushes cars?"

Kakuzu pointed behind him. "The crane?"

Hidan's eyes lit up, a sudden fire burning through them. "Yeah. That."

Kakuzu glared at him. "You're not using it. I don't trust you."

Hidan layed back down on the ground. "Awww. I fucking hate you, you bastard."

"Kakuzu!"

Kakuzu looked up and towards the gate leading into the junkyard. There stood a woman, who looked so much like Kakuzu it was frightening. "Yes mom?" He shouted back.

The woman strode over to Kakuzu. Glaring at both Itachi and Hidan. "Your father wants you in the dump yard." She pointed toward the gate. "Now hurry up and go."

Kakuzu jumped up from his seat and grabbed his backpack. "Yes, mom." He looked down to Itachi and Hidan. "Come on guys, before my mom kills us."

Hidan jumped up form the ground and grabbed his backpack. "Yes!" He immediately tore off towards the gate.

Kakuzu followed after Hidan. "Wait up, dumb ass!"

Kakuzu's182" value"Kikuyu's, Kudzu's, Jacuzzis, Gauze's, Kudzus, Jakie's, Jake's, Kacy's, Kaja's, Jazz's, Kazoo's, Caz's, KHz's, Kacey's, Kacie's, Kasai's, Kasey's, Kassi's, Caucus's, Keokuk's, Gaza's, Cake's, Caucus, Caucuses, Kamikaze's, Kazoos, Kike's, Cruz's, Garza's, Cause's, Caucasus, Jazzes, Cakes, Gazes, Kamikazes, Kikes, Causes" / mom glared at Itachi again, then followed after her son and Hidan.

Itachi stood up, grabbed his backpack and followed after them silently. He really had no clue why he was friends with them.

"Let's play ninjas!" Naruto shot his fist into the air, smiling.

Sakura put her hands on her hips. "I wanna play house."

Sasuke tossed his backpack onto the grass. "Hey guys, this is Neji."

Neji tossed his backpack next to Sasuke. "Hey!"

Naruto looked up to Neji. "Hi!" He hit his fist to his chest. "I'm Naruto!"

Sakura smiled to Neji. "I'm Sakura!"

Neji looked between them. "So, what'cha playing?"

"Ninja's!"

"House!"

Naruto and Sakura met gazes. They both growled and began to yell at one another about what game to play.

Sasuke sighed. "I wanna play house..." He muttered, sort of embarrassed.

Neji nodded. "House sounds fun..."

Sakura smiled. "I wanna be the mommy!"

Naruto pouted. "Fine. I'll be the doggy."

Neji sat on the ground. "I'll be the baby."

Sasuke looked around. "I'll be...the...um...the big brother!"

Neji began to crawl army style. "Goo goo ga ga..."

Naruto sat on the ground. "Bark, bark, bark!" He crawled on his hands and knees. "Bark! Bark!"

Sakura began walking away. "I'm going to work!"

"But mommy's don't go to work!" Sasuke interrupted. "Mommy's stay home!"

Sakura blinked. "My mommy goes to work." She put her hand on her hip. "Who'll make the money?"

Naruto raised his hand. "I will! I mean...bark bark!"

Sakura stared at him in disbelief. "But doggy's can't drive."

Sasuke raised his hand. "I'll drive him! Come on doggy!" He sat on the ground and put his arms out in front of him, holding a fake steering wheel.

Naruto smiled and crawled next to Sasuke. "Bark bark!"

Sasuke and Naruto put their legs out in front of them and scooted their way across the lawn on their butts.

The tall blue man leaned against part of the house, watching Sasuke and Naruto scoot across the lawn. "Sakura...I think you're the only--"

"Eat it Neji! Eat it!" Sakura yelled pointing to a pile of mud on the ground. "It's baby food!"

Neji covered his mouth and shook his head. "Gaga..."

The blue man shook his head. "It's amazing these kids aren't in therapy..." He sighed.

"Neji!" The back door to the house swung open. "Your mother just called! Time to go home!" Sasuke's mother stood in the doorway waving her hand in the air.

Neji looked up and nodded. "Sorry Sasuke! We'll play later!" He jumped to his feet. "Bye Naruto, bye Sakura!" He ran to his backpack and then inside the house, with Mikoto skipping after him, shutting the door behind them.

Sakura waved her hand in the air. "Bye--AHHHH!!!"

The tall blue man picked up Sakura and held her over his head and put the screaming Sakura on his shoulders.

Sasuke turned to them and gasped. "Stop it you big meanie!" He jumped to his feet and ran towards them.

Sakura went form screaming to laughing. "It's okay, it's just nii-san!" She giggled and pointed outwards. "Go horsey!"

"Holy shit this is fucking fun!" Hidan laughed poking a red button inside of a small chamber he was in. He pressed it again, and then a car crushed into a small square box.

Kakuzu shook his head. "Just don't break it." He threw his backpack into the chamber Hidan was in. "Hold on to that, don't lose it."

Hidan waved his hand at Kakuzu in a slight, sure-just-go-away gesture.

Kakuzu grumbled and turned around, walking across the junkyard towards a small building. Passing Itachi he lifted up his hand. "Make sure dumb ass back there doesn't break anything."

Itachi nodded approvingly and walked to a rusty car. Sliding into the drivers seat, he pulled out his book and began to read.

Hidan kept slamming his finger onto the button. Laughing, he poked it harder. Going to poke it again, he froze. The button didn't come back out. Scratching at it, he looked up at the cars, continuing to be crushed. "Um...Iiiittttaaaaaaccchhhiiii...Help...It won't fucking stop."

Itachi looked up at Hidan, then followed his line of view. Sighing he went back to reading his book. "Your problem."

Hidan looked around and got out of the chamber. "Whatever Kakuzu thinks...that was so not me." He walked over to the passenger seat in the car Itachi was in, and slid next to him.

Itachi shut his book and set it on the dashboard. "Yesterday, who was that blue guy?"

Hidan grabbed Itachi's book and began flipping through it. "Who?

"The blue guy." Itachi repeated.

Hidan's eyes lit up. "OH! The hunk?"

Itachi gave him a slightly worried look. "Yeah. Him."

Hidan tossed Itachi's book out the window. "Yeah, he's one of you new neighbors. At least that's what he said. Oh, and that little pink haired girl. She's his little sister. Don't be mean to her, the tall man will beat you up."

"What's his--"

"Oh! Right! And then there's this little blonde boy. He's his foster brother. They didn't tell us what house they lived in though. I think they thought I would stalk them or--"

Itachi slammed his hand over Hidan's mouth. "What are their names, Hidan?"

Hidan licked Itachi's hand, and Itachi immediately brought his hand back and wiped it on his pants. "Naruto is the blonde, and Sakura is the little pink haired one."

"And the other guy?"

Hidan shrugged. "Never told us his name. The kids called him nii-san. Like Sasuke calls you sometimes."

Three hours later

Kakuzu trudged out of the small building, his shirt slung over his shoulder. Looking around the junk yard he spotted Hidan asleep in the car and Itachi sitting on the hood reading his book.

Kakuzu walked up to the car and kicked it, causing Itachi to slide off and Hidan to wake up in a sudden jolt. "How long does it take you to read that book?"

Itachi stood up and looked at the title. 'The Truth about Hell.' He looked at Kakuzu and shrugged. "Until I'm prepared."

Kakuzu shook his head. "Yeah. Well--"

"Kakuzu! You're finally following my example!" Hidan said jumping out of the car and looking at the shirtless Kakuzu.

Kakuzu blinked. "What?"

Hidan nodded and pointed to his bare chest. "Let us elope!"

Kakuzu gave him a worried stare. "What?"

Hidan thought for a second. "Wait...I meant unite." Looking at Kakuzu he pointed at him. "You're it!" And he ran off and out of the dump yard.

Itachi and Kakuzu both stared at him.

Kakuzu sighed and grabbed Hidan's backpack and his own. "I'll give his backpack to him tomorrow. Now leave, I'm going to sleep."

Itachi grabbed his own backpack. That was a rude way to get someone to get off of your property. Walking out of the dump yard, he took a right, heading towards his house.

Hidan came running back and passed Itachi. "My house is that way!" He said and kept running.

Itachi completely ignored him and pulled his CD player from his backpack and put the headphones over his ears. He watched his feet on the ground and played the Three Days Grace.

Approaching the house, a bunch of laughter could be heard. Itachi lifted his head up and saw Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura running around. Maybe playing tag. When Sasuke noticed Itachi he lifted up his head in a hello nod. Itachi followed Sasuke's example and nodded back.

Sasuke smiled and dodged a small tackle from Naruto. Screaming he ran around the side of the house with Sakura and Naruto following. Itachi watched them until they were out of sight. He looked back to where they were only seconds ago and saw the really tall blue man.

The blue man looked at him, then ran around the side of the house, after the kids.

Sudden curiosity struck Itachi and he followed him. Once rounding the house into the backyard he looked around, and only saw Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. Neji must have left earlier. "Weird." He mumbled to himself.

"Hey Sasuke's brother!"

Itachi flinched slightly and looked down to the pink haired girl. "Wanna play?" She asked innocently.

Itachi shook his head and bent down to her level. "No. Now, can you tell me your brothers name?"

Sakura blinked. "Naruto?"

Itachi shook his head again. "Your big brother."

Sakura smiled from ear to ear. "Oh! You mean Kisame! Right? Nii-san?"

Itachi nodded and stood up. "Thanks, Sakura?"

The young girl nodded. "Yeah! Sakura!" And she ran back to Sasuke and Naruto, who were still chasing one another.

Itachi turned around and rounded the house again.

Kisame watched Sasuke tear across the yard, with Naruto on his feet. Sasuke turned around and put his hands out.

Naruto ran straight into them before he could realize Sasuke had stopped. He fell back on the ground. "OW! No fair! That hurt!"

Sasuke stuck his tongue out. "I win."

Naruto stood up and looked at Kisame, who was sitting in front of the house. "Nii-san! Sasuke is being unfair!"

Sasuke turned around and faced towards the house. "Am not!"

Kisame pointed to Sasuke. "Be fair."

Sasuke pouted and turned his head away. "Fine."

Kisame chuckled and looked over to Sakura, who was sitting next to him glaring at a stuffed bunny.

Her concentration broke and she looked at Kisame sadly. "Nii-san...I can't do it."

Kisame looked at the stuffed bunny and picked it up. "Hold out your hands."

Sakura held out her hands and Kisame set the bunny into them. Sakura wrapped her hands around the bunny, only for it to drop. Her lip began to quiver, then she began to cry.

Kisame jumped. "Oh crap..." He looked around and patted Sakura's head. "Shhh. It's okay. Don't cry."

Naruto came running over, with Sasuke right behind him. "What'd you do to her?"

Kisame glanced at Naruto. "I didn't do anything!"

Naruto glared at Kisame. "Liar! You big meanie head!" He kneeled next to Sakura and hugged her.

Kisame sighed and stood up, picking up the bunny. "Come on, we're leaving."

Sasuke winced. "Awww, why?"

Kisame looked at Sasuke. "It's...time for their before dinner nap."

Naruto looked confused. "Before dinner nap...?"

Kisame nodded and picked up Naruto and the crying Sakura. "Yes. Now we're going inside." Kisame turned around and walked around the house to the front yard.

Sasuke sat on the ground and continued to pout. "Now what can I do?"

"Sasuke!"

Sasuke straightened his back. "Mother?"

"Sasuke! Where are you?"

Sasuke stood up. "Coming Mother!" Running around the side of the yard and stopped right in front of the doorway, where his mother stood.

"There you are! Your father just told us that he's leaving to go on a a trip. Come in and say good bye." She turned around and left the door way.

Sasuke followed after her, sadness in his eyes. "Awww..Why does Father have to leave?" He walked into the foyer and shut the door behind him.

"We just moved into this house! It's to early for you to be leaving!" Sasuke heard his brother yell.

Their father countered. "What am I supposed to do? How else are we supposed to make income?"

Sasuke walked into the kitchen where Itachi and his father were arguing.

"You always leave for months on end! You need to spend more time with Sasuke, you need to protect the family. We don't even have electricity in the house! How are we going to keep robbers away?" Itachi's hand curled into a tight fist.

Their father sneered. "Do you want to be flipping burgers all your life? If you and Sasuke want to go to college, someone has to work to get you guys the money!"

Itachi's rage built up even more, he opened his mouth to scream but was cut off but Sasuke.

"Nii-san, stop! Father's right." Sasuke winced.

Itachi's fist uncurled and he slumped slightly. Walking out of the kitchen he raised his hand. "I'll be in my room."

Everything fell silent in the kitchen. "How long will you be gone Father?"

Sasuke's father looked at him. "Three months at the least."

"Oh, when are you leaving?"

"A couple of minutes."

Mikoto looked between the two of them then smiled holding out two cookies, one for each of them. "Oh Fugaku, Dear. Don't look so sad."

Fugaku and Sasuke grabbed a cookie and bit into it. "Yes mother." Sasuke walked out of the kitchen. "I'll be in my room if you need me. Bye Father."

"See ya Sasuke. Tell Itachi I said bye, and to watch out for everyone while I'm gone." He grabbed his Cami suitcase and backpack on the ground by the table. Slinging the backpack onto his back and pulling out the handle of rolling suitcase he walked out of the kitchen. "I'll see you in a couple of months honey."

Mikoto smiled and put some cookie onto a plate. "Goodbye, dear." Mikoto waited for the sound of the door to open, then the soft click of it closing.

Mikoto walked out of the kitchen, heading to Itachi's room with the plate of cookies.

Sasuke tore down the stairs and head for the kitchen to get another cookie form the cookie jar. Jumping through the doorway he froze. "Naruto?"

Naruto looked at him, his blue eyes wide with the Oh-Shit-I-Got-Caught look. He clenched his eyes shut and in and instant he disappeared.

Sasuke's mouth dropped open. "Whoa! Where'd he go?" He ran out of the kitchen and outside. "Naruto!!! Where'd you go? Naruto!!"

Itachi lay on his bed, staring at the wooden ceiling. His CD player was playing Linkin Park's Shadow of the Day full blast. Orange sunlight from the setting sun leaked into his room, making everything look darker. He closed his eyes and rolled over onto his side. A sudden tug on his earphones and he opened his eyes.

His mother stood before him with a couple of cookies. A huge smile plastered on her face. Itachi sat up and paused the music. Removing the headphones he asked, "What?"

Mikoto handed him a cookie. "You seemed mad earlier."

Itachi stared at the cookie and put it in his mouth. "If you keep doing this, I'm going to become some old guy living in your basement." He chewed the cookie and swallowed it.

Mikoto smiled widely. "Your father left a couple of minutes ago, said for me to tell you that he said bye and to watch the house while he was gone."

Itachi grabbed another cookie and bit into it. "Whatever." He snorted and replaced the headphones back on his head and closed his onyx eyes, listening to the music again.

Mikoto brushed his bangs from his face and walked back down the steps, leading to Sasuke's room.

"NAAAAARUUUUTTOOOOOO!!!!"

Mikoto jumped and walked quickly downstairs to see Sasuke standing in the doorway. "What's wrong?"

"NARUTO JUST...just..." His voice went from loud to a whisper and he looked down. "DISAPPEARED!"

Mikoto walked over to him and patted his head. "You're just seeing things. Didn't Naruto and Sakura go home?"

Sasuke pointed at the kitchen. "But I saw him! In there!"

Mikoto shook her head and walked into the kitchen. "That's it. No more sugar before bed for you, young man. Now go brush your teeth and get into bed."

Sasuke slumped and walked up the stairs. "Yes mother." He turned right and saw his brother standing the door way.

"What happened?" He asked, music still blasting from the headphones on his ears.

Sasuke shook his head and walked into the bathroom.

Itachi waited for the doors to close before he walked into Sasuke's room and sat down on the steps leading to his.

"Mother told me to go to bed, that means you too."

Itachi blinked and paused his CD player, he looked up to Sasuke who was at the doorway. "What?"

Sasuke walked over to his bed and grabbed his pajamas. "Mother said to go to sleep." He slipped them on, his face holding sadness.

Itachi watched Sasuke. "You're sad that father left, aren't you?"

Sasuke glared at him. "Am not!"

Itachi stood up and walked up to his room. "You can sleep in my room tonight if you want."

Sasuke smiled widely. "Really?" He grabbed his blanket from the bed and tore up the stairs after his brother. "Yes!"

Itachi jumped back onto his bed, putting his hands behind his head. "You get the floor."

Sasuke threw his blanket onto the floor at the end of Itachi's bed. "Awww..."

Itachi smiled to himself. "Stop whini--"

Thunk

"What the--?" Itachi sat up in bed.

Thunk

"AHHHH!!!" Sasuke screamed and jumped next to Itachi. "Aliens!!!"

Thunk

Itachi groaned and flipped his legs over the side of the bed.

Thunk

Alright, that was getting annoying. He leaned over the desk to look out the window.

Thunk

Hidan. Itachi opened the window as another rock came flying at the window. Before the thought that a flying rock was coming towards Itachi's head, it hit him.

"Whoops! Sorry, Itachi!"

Itachi put his hand on his forehead and glared at Hidan. "That, hurt. What the hell do you think you're doing coming to my house at this time!"

Hidan shrugged. "Dunno. Coming up!"

Itachi blinked. "Oh shi--!" He ducked as Hidan's backpack came flying through his window and into his room.

Itachi's blood began to boil and he looked out the window again. "You flippin'..." Itachi froze.

Hidan jumped through Itachi's window. "Yo. Told you I was coming up."

Sasuke's eyes widened as he watched Hidan land on Itachi's desk. "WHOA!" He gasped. "How'd you do that?"

Hidan shrugged. "Practice, kid."

Itachi shut the window and glared at Hidan. "Who said you could come over?" He looked to the floor at Hidan's backpack. "Doesn't Kakuzu have your backpack?"

Hidan shrugged again. "Me." He picked up his backpack and tossed it on Itachi's bed. "I ran back and got it."

Sasuke ran over to Hidan a huge grin plastered to his face. "Sleepover!"

Itachi rolled his eyes and layed back down on his bed. "Whatever. Just don't keep me up." He grabbed his CD player and pulled the headphones over his head. Turning on his CD player, he put the volume to full blast and closed his eyes.

His eyes snapped open again and he sat up, reaching for the pad of paper and pencil on his nightstand. He opened up to a page full of writing and scribbled some stuff down.

Hidan looked from Sasuke to Itachi. "What're you writing?"

Itachi continued to write. "A song."

Hidan smiled. "Ooohhhh...A new one? Nice. Can I read?"

Itachi shook his head and Hidan swore. "I...hate you." Hidan murmured, trying not to swear in front of Sasuke.

Itachi shrugged and looked at what he wrote.

Then I watched you fall and somebody scream
Its the saddest thing when angels fly away
