As a note on the title, for those of you who don't know rabbits and rodents in general are infamous for their fast breeding abilities. *giggles* I had perverted thoughts after coming up with my title… I am keeping my brain in a jar though, so it's to be expected…

Also thank you to my two wonderful reviewers:

Mika and Sukira - I'm glad you like the comedy!

KayAGoldsiv87 - Thank for the reminder! But let's keep that between us... I might get bit for forgetting... XD


Crossworlds ~ Three ~ What are You Guys? Rabbits?

*Beep-beep-beep*

I growled at my alarm clock. Unlike the night before I hadn't slept well at all.

*Beep-beep-beep*

"Stupid, hateful, no-good, fucking alarm clock from hell…" I growled out using Power Words on the thing which it ignored.

*Beep-beep-beep*

I'd woken up several times to the same freaking dream that I can't even remember now yet I know it was the same dream and it had struck me as important.

*Beep-beep-beep*

"Arhg!!" I snarled out as I fumbled for the off button, "Shut the fuck up you hateful thing and go to hell!!" I woke the Akatsuki with my outraged yelling as I finally hit the off button. Still growling under my breathe I began pulling on clothes.

In the guest room Hidan chuckled with amusement as he propped himself up on an elbow and grinned at the other Akatsuki members, "I don't believe she's a morning person."

Mutters of agreement met this statement though none of them made any move to get up. I yanked the door open a few moments later to their obvious surprise. I glared around the room a moment at my obviously awake house guest, "If you want any breakfast I suggest you get up and move your asses downstairs."

I shut the door with a bit more force than necessary, but yet not quite a slam before stomping downstairs. Hidan was struggling with obvious laughter while Kisame chuckled softly now that I was out of earshot. Itachi was as impassive as ever while Kakuzu shook his head though it was possible he was smiling behind his mask from the way the corner of his eyes had wrinkled up. Zetsu regarded them with a neutral expression before shaking his head.

They pulled on their clothes and went downstairs to the warm aroma of cooking eggs and bacon. Since I wasn't happy that morning I didn't feel like making the wonderful type of breakfast that I'm capable of. I plunked some toast in the toaster and opened the cabinet with the drinking glasses in it.

"Glasses," I pointed, "Sink, water," I pointed again, "Refrigerator, orange juice, milk." I pointed for the third time. I picked up my own glass and got myself a glass of water. I grabbed plates and set them in a stack on the table minus my own with the bacon on one plate, toast on another, and scrambled eggs in the skillet on a hot pad.

I added forks in a pile, kept one for myself and piled some eggs and bacon on my plate. I snagged a piece of toast and started eating. I watched them take place and get their own food and although they didn't say anything I had a suspicion they were laughing at me.

"So what the hell has your panties in a twist?" Hidan asked with an arrogant sneer. I glared at him for a long moment before answering.

"Same damn dream woke me up about five times and I can't even remember what the hell it was" I grumbled into my water wishing I had thought to make myself some coffee.

"Then how do you know it was the same dream?" Kakuzu asked. I looked at him. Of course he had his mask off to eat and since the manga didn't ever give a good shot of him with his mask off so I memorized his features while I answered.

"They felt the same" Kakuzu was hot, stitches or no. If anything they made him all the more interesting. I rubbed my forehead as I thought about it but didn't say anything else. My dreams had felt more like memories, but I didn't know if they were my memories.

Sighing I stood up and ditched my dishes in the sink. I pulled on my favorite shoes that happened to be converse high tops and grabbed my purse and backpack and paused at the door.

"Put the dishes in the sink with water, I'll wash them when I get home. There's bread in the breadbox by the sink and cut cheese, turkey, and ham in the fridge for lunch. I'll be home around three thirty. Behave. No jutsu, no fighting," I pointed at Hidan, "No sacrifices," I pointed at Kakuzu, "No trying to filch anything," I pointed at Kisame, "If you want to train with your sword you are to go back to the Wreck."

I scratched my head as I tried to think of anything else. Finally I sighed and gestured to the door, "No one should come here but if anyone does hide. See ya."

I waved and went and got in my car then off I went.

They traded looks as I pulled out of sight. Kisame shook his head grinning ruefully, "She knows us and who knows what else about our world."

"Indeed. She may even know something about the future…" Zetsu added on. That brought a tense silence at the possibilities.

"And we don't even know how much" Kakuzu growled out obviously irritated.

"Fuck" Hidan breathed out at the gravity of the situation. Then again there wasn't much they could do at the moment. I was gone and they wouldn't even begin to know where to look for my school.

"We'll ask her when she gets home" Itachi said as he stood and made his way into the kitchen to deposit his plate and fork in the sink. He kept his glass of water as he made his way to the living room and took a seat on the couch and turned on the T.V.

Zetsu fallowed his example before melding with the polished wooden floors and vanishing. He grew back out of the ground at the Wreck. Emerging he took his time taking a good look around where they had found themselves the day before.

'What caused us to appear here? With that girl being so conveniently nearby?' Zetsu wondered to himself as he continued to study the leaf covered ground in front of him amid the many different trees of varying ages, some even wrapped in the clinging vines of the honey suckle.

Zetsu growled to himself as he continued to pace around the area around Ali's beloved Wreck. Why she spent time there when she had her house Zetsu couldn't understand. For some reason he felt like she was hiding something from them…

As he stood glaring at the spot where they had appeared a familiar, yet foreign ripping sound accompanied by a brief flickering of light took place. Zetsu faded into the tree he had been standing beside and mentally sighed at the four figures standing before him.

I couldn't help but feel smug despite the throbbing pain on the left side of my face that throbbed worse around my eye. I was going to have a lovely shiner by tomorrow. I smiled at myself in my rearview mirror even though it hurt.

The entire left side of my face had darkened slightly while the skin around my eye was darker yet with rich purples and dark blues. My eye was swelling shut, but what little I could still see of it was an irritated red. I probably wouldn't be able to see out of it at all by tomorrow.

I chuckled darkly as I looked back at the road and turned onto the last road on my way home before my lane-like drive way. I'd need to take some aspirin when I got home to forgo a whopping headache that I was most likely to have tomorrow.

I frowned at myself as I went over the fight in my head. What had I been thinking? I was suddenly angry with myself. I hadn't taken karate for almost seven years for nothing! I growled and hunched my shoulders in annoyance at myself.

Brittany had caught me off guard next to my car when I had again refused to write her paper and still better I had made her look a fool. That part made me smile, but her using her purse to slug me in the side of the head had taken me off guard.

As soon as she struck all her little friends joined in as well, luckily they didn't have anything in the way of muscle so I wouldn't even bruise from half of them. They hurt now though and somebody had landed a good hit on my eye which was why it was darker than the rest of my face.

I was pretty sure Brittany had done that too.

I gave another, darker chuckle as I forced myself to relax and let off the gas pedal as I relived the reason I felt so smug. Brittany may have bruised my face, but I was positive I'd broken her nose.

She probably wouldn't even have the nerve to show her face at school for a few days. That didn't hurt my feelings of course but it did mean her little prep posse would probably harass me more than usual.

Then again Brittany wasn't the only one I'd landed some good hits on. Some of them would be nursing some very painful bruises for a while. I grinned smugly at myself in the mirror like an idiot as I pulled into my parking spot at home.

Grabbing my purse, I again didn't have homework, I stepped out my car, but I didn't' get far as a solid weight planted two paws against my hips. I sat back down on my car seat and took my time greeting my best friend on four legs.

My dog, Molly, was nothing short of a mutt. One of my redneck friends, John had given her to me since she was a runt and we'd been inseparable ever since. She was a little taller than my knee and covered in short, bristly salt and pepper fur with several large black spots on her back with smaller ones cover her neck and ears and over her right eye.

My poor, lanky dog was considered ugly by the general population. My parents hated her, but to me, Molly was the most gorgeous dog in the world. Giving her a final pat I stood up and wondered slowly up the steps and into the house while Molly trotted off to wherever she had been. Probably at John's with her 'boyfriend.'

I still smug as I shut the door behind me and pushed my shoes off with my toe. Looking up I blinked. Before I could say anything Hidan cut me off, "What the hell happened to you?!"

I couldn't help the sudden, smug grin that spread across my face. I knew it was what Audrey called my 'wolf-grin' which made me all the happier. I leaned on the back of a chair and continued grinning as I answered, "Got in a fight."

"I hope they look worse than you do!" Kisame laughed at me. I grinned wider, Audrey would have run away in mock fear by now.

"Of course," I answered, as I held up one finger, "First rule of getting in a fight is to always make sure the other guy, or multiple girls in this case, hurt worse than you do." I chuckled darkly and felt the air stiffen slightly, "Plus when it comes to Brittany and her little prep posse I fight dirty."

"You say that like you've had training" A new voice asked and I finally took complete notice of my four new additions: Pein, Konan, Deidara, and Tobi…

I blinked and gave my head a quick, startled shake as my attention was directed to the newest additions to my 'family.' I blinked before grinning at the four of them, "What are you guys? Rabbits? I leave for a few hours, come back, and you've multiplied."

I grinned happily, still riding the high from my fight and the smug happiness from winning. I felt the air thicken, possibly I had made Pein angry but since I knew he wasn't the real Akatsuki leader I didn't feel any real fear. I didn't have any real respect for someone who knowingly played as a figure head.

When it became apparent I wasn't getting a reply to my attempt at humor I sighed and pulling out the chair I was leaning on, sat down, "But to answer your question my Grandma started me in karate and it keeps me in good shape. I'm no ninja for sure and I definitely couldn't keep up with any of you, but against Brittany and her prep posse it was a cake walk."

Just as Pein opened his mouth to say something my pocket started meowing at me with the first Full Metal Alchemist intro song playing in the background. I giggled as I pulled my cell out of my pocket and answered it, "Hullo Kitty-Girl."

The Akatsuki gathered could probably even hear her hysteria as she went into freaked-out mode, "Ali! OhMyGad! I heard! I heard you were in a fight! And that that whore-bitch Brittany and her prep posse kicked your ass!! Where are you?! Are you at the hospital?! Or your house?! Do you need help?! Should I call your parents?! Should I call the cops?! Do I need to come?! Where are you?! Are you okay?! Should I-"

My laughing interrupted her, "I'm fine! Audrey, you know my rules! Brittany surprised me and I have a black eye plus a couple bruises from where her pack got lucky. The whore-bitch didn't get off as lightly though…" I gave one of my darker chuckles for effect, "I broke her nose and she ran. After a couple good hits on her minions they ran too."

"Ugh! That cowardly bitch!!" Audrey ranted with feeling, I could even see her pacing in my mind's eye and smothered a giggle, "You know she'll try to get you back Ali…"

I grinned at my phone, "Pft. I may fight dirty, but I was still playing nice when I only broke her nose… She knows me well enough from grade school to know that I won't roll over and play dead just because she tells me. If it's war she wants then it's war I'll give her."

I could feel the Akatsuki tense up at the word 'war' so I'd have some explaining to do when I got off the phone…

"You'd do that?" Audrey asked.

"You bet I will" I grinned at the phone. I might even call in a few favors from some of the guys I run around with in the summertime. Big, musclely, redneck boys who have a soft spot for me who happen to have loaded guns in their outrageously big, tank-like trucks at all times.

"Be careful Ali." She said at last.

I grinned again, "C'mon Kitty-Girl. It's me. I can take care of myself. Brit can think she's fooling me but I was her best friend for nearly eight years. I know how her head works and how little it actually does work. I'll give you the gory details in the morning."

"'Kay. Bye."

"Bye." I answered and hung up. Turning back to my house guests I found myself under some very hard glares…


*giggles* On another note, Audrey is based off of one of my 3-D friends. She really meows at me, she is also a huge FMA fangirl(she even has a red trench coat with the FMA symbol on the back like Ed's), and I really call her Kitty-Girl. She's even going to contribute to the plot later. *giggles* You're very excited aren't you Kitty-Girl? She squealed and hugged me when I told her for those of you who cared to know.

I love getting reviews and I promise to respond to everyone who gives me one! XOXOXO
