Leaving the store, Itachi began to wonder about the ring and if what Rae told him was true. "That's so fake…a ring telling how someone feels. I bet she puts more sugar than actual coffee in her cup or mug or whatever in the mornings…" he thought to himself as he peeked at the ring. It was still an orange that represented his confusion. He did have to admit it was hitting all his moods on the head so far but Itachi wasn't ready to call it totally accurate. Staring down at it, he began to wonder, "Maybe it can tell moods…" but quickly dismissed the idea after seeing how foolish it was.
As he made his way back to where he and the other's were living, he past by a toy store. He was surprised to see that the store was empty since it was usually booming with business. Peeking into the window, he saw only a few people where their and that there was a poster on a part of the wall. Itachi couldn't tell what the poster was about because of his suck-ass eyesight so he went inside to have a look when curiosity got the best of him.
--
Entering the store, he saw how it was even more of a cemetery on the inside and somewhat literally because of all the Halloween toys and decorations. Each step that Itachi took brought him closer to the poster and closer to reading it. From where he was, he could simply tell it was a wanted poster. "Is this why like no one is in here? Just because some random dude robbed them?" he began to think as he read the poster. Before he could even get to the main parts of the poster, he heard someone scream, "YOU!"
Turning his head, he saw an employee holding a shaking finger at him. "You're the one that robbed us not too long ago!" she continued with an accusing voice, "You have the wrinkles a-" but Itachi cut her off. "THEY'RE NOT WRINKLES!"
Simply ignoring him, the woman went on, "And you're wearing the same make-up, too!" This is what sent him over the edge, as he wanted to kill her right then and there. Instead, he just screamed, "I DON'T WEAR MAKE-UP AND I DON'T HAVE WRINKLES, FUCKING BITCH!!"
It was defiantly enough to get her attention and everyone else's in the store as began to shiver. Seeing his enraged outburst was just one of many more, another employee called the police to come and arrest him. By now, the poor woman was shivering and in tears but Itachi didn't even bother to take it into account.
"AND ANOTHER THING…WHY THE FUCK DO YOU WEAR YELLOW AND GREEN?! DO YOU REALIZE HOW BLINDING THAT SHIT IS?! THE ONLY GOD DAMN THING IT'S GOOD FOR IS NOT GETTING HIT BY A CAR IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT!!" Itachi continued to rant even if it was now on random things that pissed him off but couldn't hold in anymore. He didn't even realize that the police were there since he was so into his ranting.
Being tackled to the floor, he felt his grip loosen on the bag that contained the box of nails and list of moods and colors as he went unconscious. The last thing he saw was the illuminating yellow and green that was the woman's work uniform.

Itachi opened his eyes when he felt his body on a seat of some type of vehicle. Jumping into panic mode, he looked around and widened his eyes when he noticed he couldn't move his hands. "Calm down, back there" someone in the front of the vehicle called to him with a laugh at the end. He didn't reply but just wondered what happened and where he was. "The hell am I?" he wondered as he looked around, still trying to pull his hands apart but discovered they were handcuffed.
It was then that it hit him, what happened before he blanked out and what was going on. At the toy store, someone called the cops on him and arrested him. Looking up at the ceiling of the car, he sighed, "How could this happen?"
Seeing that he calmed down, the officer in the passenger seat twisted around to face Itachi. "You have any idea what you're here for?" he asked but Itachi stood quiet. It made the officer shake his head, "You was looking at your own wanted poster. What you mean that you don't know?" This made him shrug, "I really have no idea why I'm here…didn't even get to read all of that Goddamn poster, either!"
With a huff, Itachi crossed his arms…or tried to, forgetting about the handcuffs. Seeing how his hands were huffed, it clicked into his mind that he didn't have the bag of nails and list with him. Going into panic mode again, he leaned forward, to the side, anything to try to help him look around since his arms were useless. Seeing what he was doing, the same policeman laughed. "I got your bag," he said as he held it up as proof, "Why are you getting so worked up over it? Got something special in it?"
"No, nothing special. Just something I needed…"
"Oh, like what? Make-up?"
Itachi's expression instantly darkened when he heard what the officer laughed out. That lady he was yelling at must have told him about that. "I don't wear make-up…" he said in a low voice, refusing to tell him have the last word in it.
"It's okay. When we get to the precinct, we'll get this settled out…then you could take your make-up and go home." He said, whispering the last part with a grin.
--
Entering the precinct, Itachi was still handcuffed and led to a room where he'd probably get asked questions. A seat was offered to him and he sat down with the bag from the hardware store thrown next to him. "Alright, let's start" the officer that was driving the vehicle said as he sat in front of Itachi. He had to think the Lord that he would get asked questions from him and not that other policeman who made him of him for supposedly wearing make-up. "This doesn't seem to bad. Just explain myself and they'll let me out. Not like I did anything to get here in the first place. Wonder why they had a wanted poster of me any-" he wondered when his thoughts were slashed by the officer's voice.
"Do you know why you're here?"
"No but if you take off these handcuffs, I'll try to remember for you."
He just stared at Itachi, being a little reluctant to take off his cuffs but eventually he did. Putting them on a table that was at the side of the room, he continued his the questions.
"Do you know why they had a wanted poster of you?
"Because they wanted to use it as decoration…?"
"No, you were wanted for robbery. Do you at least know that?"
"The fuck? Robbery?"
It was like his questions were answered with even more questions from Itachi. Taking a folder, he opened it and took out a piece of paper. He then began to explain what it was. "This is a report filed by the toy store regarding a robbery about a month ago. They sent in descriptions on the robber, which turns out to be you. So…now you do remember?"
"I supposedly robbed them like a month ago?" Itachi thought as he looked at the ceiling of the room. That's when it all came back to him.
--Start Flashback—
It had been late afternoon when Kakuzu dragged Itachi outside to get Hidan a birthday gift. "Come on, if we go now then we don't have to deal with as many annoying people!" Kazuzu assured him, tugging Itachi to walk faster. He didn't even know why he was with him when he was pretty sure he'd get a gift from the 99cent store or something. "What do you plan on getting Hidan anyway?" the missing leaf ninja asked with crossed arms as he came to a stop. Looking back at him, the other shrugged, "Something he likes…and something cheap"
That was just what he had expected but still found himself shaking his head. "Does he even celebrate his birthday?" Itachi wondered out loud but Kakuzu simple answered that if not, he'd save the gift until it was the next person's birthday so he wouldn't have to waste time and even more precious, money. "Let's go to this toy store and see if they have anything he'd like. They might have some type of Jashin game, you know." Kakuzu said, dragging Itachi with him.
--
As they entered, they wandered around first. They were passing through the board game shelves when something caught Kakuzu's eye…the game, Monopoly. "What game is this?" he asked as he brought it down from the shelf to look at it. It was then that Itachi wondered what type of corrupt childhood he had for him not to know the game of Monopoly but then he wasn't one to talk anyway. "It's just a board game," Itachi explained, "You get money, buy houses, make other people pay y-" but he got cut short by Kakuzu's hyper voice. "What?! There's money in these?!" he demanded, gripping the box in his hands furiously hard.
"Yeah bu-" he was going to talk about how it does come with money but now real, just fake money before his friend began to grab multiple boxes. Kakuzu tugged as many boxes as he could under his arms and tried to hold five boxes in one hand, which didn't really work out. "Here, take them! We're leaving!" he simply said as he made a dash out the store, leaving Itachi with Monopoly boxes around him.
Grabbing one box that would be a gift for Hidan, he ran after Kakuzu who was probably already outside. Itachi knew he'd never give up the Monopoly, birthday gift or not so he took one himself that would be given as one. Charging down the hall towards the door, he crashed into a glowing yellow and green object. After the collision, he found out it was a woman who was actually wearing the store's employee uniform. "Oh, I'm sorry, sir" she laughed nervously as she got up and then helped up Itachi. He didn't even say a word but ran out the store once he got back on her feet.
The woman stared on in shock about what just happened. "Wait! Come back!" she yelled before Itachi was outside with Kakuzu and they continued home.
--End Flashback—
"Damn," Itachi said as he brought down his head, "So that's why I'm here? They actually made a wanted poster and everything because I took one Monopoly game board?" By now, a hand was over his face with his mood ring a ruby red. The bright red caught the officer's attention. "Oh, a mood ring. This should make things simpler." He smiled, leaning back in his seat.
Rolling his eyes, the black-haired ninja sighed, "You don't honestly believe in mood rings, do you?" though he never answered. "Let's start with the questions again, now that you know what you're here for." The officer began.
"Why did you take the game board?"
"I needed it for...something." Itachi answered with his mood ring turning yellow. The color change made the other smile. "Oh, getting nervous, are we? Don't tell me you're lying, now."
"I'm not lying. I just hate being pressured. Just let me go. All I did was take a God damn board game!" he said with a little temper as his ring flashed red yet again.
The officer arose from his seat and went to put push a button on a small box and go to handcuff Itachi. "Alright, I'll take that as a confession. Let's go." He said with a tired voice, probably getting bored with it. Of course, he refused and pushed the officer away from him. "I'm not going anywhere except home!" Itachi yelled as he grabbed his bag and ran to the door but fell to the floor when the man dove for his leg.
The two were rolling on the floor, fighting each other until one was able to stand up. "Get, the, fuck, offa, me!" he threatened with a punch that got the man off Itachi. Rushing to his feet, he ran out into the hall and then outside. Lucky enough, no one stopped him and even if someone saw, all they really did see what a random person running down the hall with a few dirty marks on his face and things.
--
Finally returning home, it was already nighttime, which made Itachi wonder how long he had been out for. He didn't think about it long since he really just wanted to go to sleep. The day had been way more than he bargained for and all of that just to get nails to hang up a picture with.
As news spread about his return, they began to question where he went, what took so long, the usual. He just told them that he had gone out to get nails to hang up the painting but got carried away with some things.
Going into his room, Itachi didn't even bother to change or anything. He just threw the bag onto his desk and then himself onto his bed. As his eyes closed to sleep, the last thing he saw was his ring that was now blue. "Such...bull…shit…"

Now, we're done toying with Itachi. So far, I've had the most fun with him and Kisame but we have a bunch more to mess around with! Who'll be the next victim, hm? You'll have to wait and see. I also might start on my other Naruto fanfiction (check my profile for more information) so I'll try to balance the two out evenly. Hugs to all!
