Chapter 3
That night, the dorm room was silent. Hidan was in the shower while I was staring at the TV blankly. I didn't even know what I was watching. Itachi, on the other hand, wasn't speaking to me. Instead, he was pretending to be asleep and was doing a very good job at it except for a couple of times where I heard his breathing pattern change. I didn't want this to go on so I decided to take action. I got up off of Mine and Hidan's bed and sat at the edge of Itachi's. I watched as he flinched a bit as effect of someone else sitting on his bed. This poor boy seemed so scarred from whatever Madara had done to him. I watched him pretend to sleep peacefully for a second before I spoke.
"I know you're awake, Itachi." I said softly as I stared at his closed eyes. He opened one slightly and it stared back at me for a second before Itachi sat up.
"Get off of my bed." He mumbled, rubbing his eyes with his delicate hands. I debated in my mind for a second on whether I should listen to what he says or stand my ground so I can talk this out with him. I chose the second option.
"Itachi, I'm sorry for getting involved," I started. "But I don't think you should have to deal with what that man has been doing to you. No one deserves that. Especially you." I blushed as these words spilled out of my mouth. I felt so embarrassed for some odd reason. I could actually feel butterflies in my stomache.
"Why are you blue?" Itachi questioned, a hint of curiosity in his smooth as silk voice.
"Don't change the subject." I said. I wasn't going to be tricked by the young Uchiha.
"But I really want to know." Itachi replied back. It would be more believeable if he would actually use emotion in his voice. He didn't want to know and I'm pretty sure that he didn't even care.
I let out a small sigh and said, "I have a minor skin disease that turned my skin blue when I was really little. It's not contagious or life threatening. It's just something I'll have to deal with for the rest of my life. I'm pretty used to it now though."
"Then why do you have gills?" Another question. I really did love his voice and all but I wanted him to stop avoiding the subject from before.
"They're not real. They're tattoos. Hidan and I had a bet a while back and Hidan won which meant that I had to get these tattoos."
"Really?" If Itachi ever wanted to act then he would suck big time. His emotion sucked ass. But he was so adorable.
"Anyway," I said, clearing my throat. "Why are you still with Madara if you hate him?" Itachi looked away from me and towards the blankets that covered him. His face looked sad for a second before it went back to being emotionless and he stared back up at me.
"I never said I hated him." Itachi whispered. "It's just...It's a long story and I'd rather not talk about it. Goodnight Kisame." He then layed down, pulling the covers up over his shoulders and fell into a fast, real, sleep.
I sighed and had a small smile on my face. "Goodnight, Itachi."
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"The weekend is finally here!" Tobi sang out while happily skipping around everyone in our friend group. "So what are we gonna do? What are we gonna do??"
"What do you mean, Tobi?" I questioned with a small sigh of annoyance. Okay, now he was getting on my nerves.
"Well, we can't just stay on this booorrrrrinnnng campus all weekend! We gots to do something fun!! Oh! I know! We should go to Itachi's house!" Tobi ran over to Itachi excitedly who just blankly stared at him.
"You can't just say that we're going to Itachi's house if he hadn't okay'd it himself, hmm!" Deidara spat, laying on the soft grass.
"No, it's ok." Itachi replied. "My parents are gone on a month long trip and Sasuke's staying at his friend's house for the weekend."
"Sounds like fun!" Tobi squealed excitedly.
"Do you ever run out of energy?" Hidan sighed, rubbing his temples.
"What do you mean???" Tobi questioned, tilting his head to the side.
"Who's going to ride with who?" Kakuzu asked. "I don't want to use my car. Gas costs money, you know."
"I'll take mine, you fucking cheapstake." Hidan mumbled, standing up from his sitting position. "Itachi, Deidara, and Tobi can ride with Kisame and Kakuzu, Sasori, and I can ride in my car."
"Sounds good." Sasori agreed.
"Why do we have to take Tobi?!" Deidara demanded.
"Because Tobi's a good boy!" Tobi yelled, glomping Deidara.
"Get the hell off of me, un!" Deidara yelled, trying hard to push Tobi off but failed.
"I'm gonna go get some clothes together." I said, walking off towards the dorms. I heard footsteps from behind me so I turned to notice Itachi.
"Don't forget to bring your swimsuit. I have a pool at my house." He said, not looking me in the eye.
"Okay." I said, turning to walk off. 'Oh my god!' I thought eagerly. 'I get to see Itachi in a swimsuit! I can't wait!'
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
The car ride was rather amusing. Itachi sat in the front seat with me while Deidara got stuck in the back with Tobi. Tobi had leaned into the front to change the music to some stupid song by the Go-Gos called "We Got The Beat". It was obnoxious. Almost as bad as the orange masked man himself. It got even worse when he started to sing along to it in a high pitched and squeaky voice.
"Shut up!" Deidara snapped, holding his hands over his ears in frustration. "You can't sing and this song is horrible! Itachi, hmm! Turn this shit off!" Itachi turned it off just then. Why hadn't I thought of that earlier? It was probably because I was trying super hard to concentrate on the road than on the obnoxious noises coming from the radio and Tobi.
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
When we got there, I was was extremely surprised at how large the house was. It looked more than just an ordinary house. Then I remembered that Itachi's dad was very famous and was head of the police force. I just wondered what Itachi's room looked like.
"This...Is you're house?" Hidan and Deidara questioned in awe at the same time.
"This much have cost a fortune." Kakuzu said.
"It's not that much." Itachi said, pulling some of the bags out of the trunk of my junky, old car.
"Here," I said, walking over to the raven haired boy. "Let me do this." He looked up at me and then went back to unloading things.
"I'm perfectly fine with handling this myself." He muttered as he struggled to pull out one of Tobi's bags. When he finally was able to pull it out, the weight of the bag made him fall backwards. In an atempt to save him from crashing onto the hard cement, I brought my hands out and grabbed him around his slim waist, bringing him forward, which almost seemed like a hugging position. He smelt like lavender flowers and his hair was soft as it brushed against my skin.
"Are you okay?" I asked as I still held onto him.
"I'm fine but could you please let me go?" I did as he said and turned so he wouldn't notice my blushing face.
"Sorry...." I muttered.
"Hey are you two lovebirds going to stand there all day?" Hidan yelled out towards us.
"Why don't you come and help get the luggage you sick bastard!" I yelled back. We weren't arguing. That was just how we usually talked.

When we got inside, we were in more shock than just looking at the outside of the house. The inside was even more larger than I would have ever imagined. The floor was made of marble and so was the large, fancy staircase. The walls were so fancy and shiny that you could see your reflection easily in them. I was pretty sure that they didn't need mirrors if they could had walls like these. The hall was long and fancy with family pictures hanging on the sides. I saw one with a younger Itachi holding a little kid that looked about 8 years old on his back. It was kinda like a piggy back ride.
"Who's this, Itachi?" I asked after I stared at it for a second. Itachi was even cute as a little kid but I wanted to know who the other adorable little kid was. He walked over to me and stared at the picture for a second before replying.
"That's my little brother, Sasuke." He said calmly. I could see the love in his eyes as he stared at the picture. He seemed like he was pretty fond of that memory.
After a bit, he turned towards everyone and showed us all around the house. When we got to Itachi's room, I surprisingly wasn't surprised to find that it was just a normal bedroom. Sure, I expected it to be really adorable but then I had to remember that Itachi wasn't the 'adorable' type of person. The room was large though. And it did have a clear door that led to a library. He must love to read. That also wasn't too much of a surprise.
The room was large enough for everyone to sleep in so that was pretty cool. He had two couches in his room that could fold out to a bed and his bed was large enough to fit 3 people. It was pretty much the perfect amount. It all mattered on who was to sleep with who but we weren't going to get to that until tonight.
He led us all out to the pool after we had dressed into our swim clothes and, much to my disapointment, Itachi wore a shirt with his swim trunks. Oh well, at least I could see him wet.
The pool was huge! It went all the way to 12 feet and had various waterslides. There was a large hot tub that looked as if it could fit 40 people and a huge deck with billions of sun chairs. I looked around at everyone else and saw that their faces also had complete disbelief written all over them.
"Are you guys okay?" Itachi questioned. I don't think he was used to taking others to his house. I don't even think he had any real friends before us.
"Yeah," I replied. "We're fine. It's just....We never knew you to have this kind of house. This is absolutely amazing!" At that being said, Tobi ran and jumped right into the pool, almost splashing each and everyone of us. Deidara was pissed.
"You little orange masked brat!" He yelled furiously.
"Deidara, calm down." Sasori muttered to the blonde. It might have been just me but at that moment I thought I saw a hint of blush hit Deidara's face as he stared at Sasori. I wouldn't blame him. Sasori did have a hot body.
"S-sorry, Sasori..." Deidara muttered, staring at the cement.
"Are you guys going to jump in or are you gonna stand there all day????" Tobi yelled out as he swam in speedy circles around the pool.
I hope you guys liked it and thank you for all the wonderful reviews, once again. Oh and the "We got the Beat" song was stuck in my head while I was writing this because I was singing it on Rockband 2 before I started writing and I find it an annoying song so I thought, 'It would be even more annoying if Tobi sang it.' So I decided to put that in there xD
Just so you guys know, I started up a poll on my profile that asks which fic I should update asap. So please check that out.
Please review and thanks for reading ^_^
