Gah, took forever to update huh? I've been busy with many things (including a funeral) and I really wanted this to be a good oneshot. So here's the long (eh, I'm probably exaggerating) awaited chapter people want to read :) Btw, I had to redo this several times to get a final product.

Pairing: Usagi/Itachi

"Can you plleeeaassse teach me something?"

"No, Usagi. You'll have to wait a while."

"But what happens next time we're on a mission? I'm gonna feel so left out when you and Kisame get to take out the bad guy!"

Itachi, annoyed, rubbed his temple. "You make it seem as if you don't help out at all. You are an excellent kunoichi; Don't put yourself down so much." Usagi blushed. "But I want to learn what you do!"

"What I do?" She smiled and did that thing Itachi hated. Usagi rested her head on his arm and put on her best pouting face. And that was just utterly adorable to him.

"You know! I wanna summon some kind of animal. Maybe *gasp* can you teach me to summon crows?" Itachi smirked and slid away from her. "You're a crazy girl, you know that?" She followed him.

"Well, then what about something like...rabbits! Could rabbits work?" He thought it over. 'Rabbits. They're capable of long ranged hearing, their hind legs and teeth are very strong, and they can easily escape danger...'

"Okay then. Let's go to the forest." Usagi smiled wide and hugged him. Itachi blushed. "D-don't get so excited, Usagi." She just smiled as they went to practice a summoning jutsu.

Transition...

"Do you have it now?"

"Of course!" Usagi put her now bruised hands into multiple signs and shouted, "Usagi no yobidashi(Rabbit's call): Art of Summoning!" Suddenly a large rabbit that was about 8 feet tall poofed up. "I-I did it? I did!" She started to cheer for herself while the summoned rabbit swore under his breath.

"But of course, I couldn't have done it without you!" Before he could ever predict it, Usagi kissed Itachi's cheek. He blushed a cute pink shade.

"Ya know? You should more, it makes you cute." Usagi giggled and bounded off with her new rabbit.

"W-what the hell just happened," Itachi asked himself.

Transition...

"Don't call me that!"

"But it's a cute name for a cute bunny, right?"

"No way! Why should I be named by such a bitch like you!" Usagi sighed in defeat. It was no use; her new rabbit didn't like her habit of adding 'chan' to everything. "Fine. Then just Yahiko it is." Yahiko frowned and steadily hopped next to Itachi and Kisame.

"I'm surprised. You actually managed to lose, Usagi." She stuck her tongue out at him.

"Don't be rude, Itachi! And what about you, Mr. I'm-always-so-calm-and-stone-like?" He frowned. "Am I really like that to you?"

"Ah?" She looked down and blushed. "U-um...yes, yes you are!" "You're a terrible lier." Usagi looked away and Yahiko smirked to himself. "Real clueless, eh, Kisame?" Kisame just chuckled.

"Really childish, if you ask me." Usagi leaned forward on Yahiko's head. "Now what are you doing?" He asked. "Bother, I feel tired..."

"Tired? How! You sleep even more than I do!" She just clenched his fur. "I...don't know...since when did the air get so cold?" Now it was Itachi's turn to get upset.

"It's the middle of July and you're cold? Something's definitely wrong with you." Then he noticed something maroon leaking from her mouth. He quickly pulled her off of Yahiko.

"I think that man poisoned her!" ('That man' is this guy they were sent to kill)

"Dammit," Kisame swore.

"Go to the hideout and get Sasori, he'll know what to do!" Kisame nodded and rushed away. "You're freezing!" Itachi exclaimed, putting his hand on her forehead. Usagi clung to his coat and smiled.

"I'm glad...that you sent Kisame to leave..."

"What? Why?" She blushed and looked up with her now serious eyes. "You remember when I kissed you?"

"...Of course, how could I forget?" She leaned closer. "I did that...because I love you." He blinked in disbelief. "You...love...me?" She looked away. "Stupid, right? I didn't want to make it obvious or anything, I thought you'd say no." Itachi smiled and kissed Usagi.

"Me, say no to you? You're wrong, Usagi. I love you too. Who else could brighten up the day or make me smile." She blushed and then slowly moved to kiss him. He met her halfway and kissed her softly. 'I'm kissing Itachi...' Usagi thought happily. From in the distance, two pairs of eyes watched happily.

"We did it!" Sasori said gleefully. Kisame smirked and replied, "Yeah, seems like your pill worked. When does the side effects stop?" "Hm, about an hour." Kisame smiled at his two best friends. "They'll be okay..."

Like, about an hour later...

"I'm gonna kill that puppet," Itachi scowled. "Why?" Usagi asked. "He never healed you!" She smiled and hugged him from behind.

"That's ok, I'm fine now! But wait...he gave me medicine this morning..." Itachi looked over his shoulder at her.

"Yeah, I remember! I had a small pain going on in my chest and he said that this pill would work! Then there was something about bleeding and chills...ohhh!" Itachi face palmed himself and pushed her onto his bed.

"Baka," He muttered, beginning to punish her for her forgetfulness...

Done! If the end was rushed, I'm terribly sorry for that. I wanted to make a new chapter as quick as possible, but things don't always go my way :\ How'd you like it? Please, let me know!

Next pairing: Shikamaru and...Tune in next time!
