I snuggled into my pillow, my head only slightly buzzing. I look at the clock it said 5:00 am, I sate up, now why was I already awake?

But then it came all back to me. I fell out of the bed trying to contain my shock, muttering to myself, "I'm late, late, late." But then I noticed, "Shit! This isn't even my room!"

But of course that was after I already had my shirt off and was only in my bra. "Girl, hmmm," I froze as I tried to shove my head through my shirt, "What are you doing, un?" I got my head through and save Deidara propped on his elbows.

I gulped, "I didn't think I had that much to drink." But thankful (or not) he had on a black tee shirt.

He rolled his visible eye, the other one shut closed, "Don't worry, un" he sneered, "I like my girls classy, un." He turned on his side, "I thought since you were assaulted by Hidan, un, that you would be safer here un."

I bit my lip, "Thank you but I think that I had it handled." As I turned to leave I ran right into Deidara who was right behind me. Deidara yanked my right arm to my shoulder blade. As his lips moved right to my ear, his entire body pressing me into the wall, I felt ice in my veins. "Sure girl, un."

I shook off my fear, "Go to hell Deidara." Not really knowing why (more like not wanting to admit why) I felt tears spring in my eye, "I know you hate me. So why help me?"

Then so fast that I had whiplash in my neck he spun me around both of my hands pinned. His face was super close to mine, one eye still closed, "Because no one deserves what Hidan does to them." He moved his face closer to mine, I had to turn it to avoid bumping nose. Then he smiled, "And also I can't figure out what makes you tick, un."

Pushing off the wall, crushing my wrists in the process he started to walk back to his bed. Waving his hand like nothing happened, "Anyway, un, I talked to Sasori-danna he agreed that you needed sometime off, un." Flopping down on the bed, "Enjoy the next two days, un, after that back to hell, un."

I was dazed, but I still had enough sense that that was my cue to leave. When I made it to the door I saw the seal on it. Hearing the smirk in his voice, "Sasori-danna also agree that I should watch you until Hidan had a chance to cool off, un." Rolling over he said, "I brought over some of your clothes, un. If you can't go to sleep then you can take a shower, un."

His room layout was the same as mine however that is where the similarities ended. Deidara has clay statuses all over his room, which was to be expected, but what I didn't expect was all the other forms of art. I couldn't name a single form of visual art that wasn't represented. It was clean and clearly organized in way only Deidara knew. But examining my deranged sparring partner wasn't my goal, I found the "clothes" Deidara found.

Let's just say he's the biggest asshole I have ever met.

Waking up to a dull ache in your eyes was never fun and I understood why the Uchiha always refused eyes surgery now, I slowly sat up as I covered my eyes with my hands as I blocked what light was in my room. I felt Itachi's dull chakra that signaled that he was sleeping in the other corner of my room where a extra bed had always laid.

"Yumi, stop it" I flinched when I heard Itachi's voice scold me when he saw the face I was making with my hand over my eyes, I hummed and stood up slowly and blindly walked into the bathroom that was in my room.

I went to the sink and splashed cold water onto my face and into my eyes and sighed thankfully when I felt the burning pain of my eyes dull to nothing but a throbbing ache now, I gasped when I felt hands on my back rubbing soothing circles all over. "Yumi" Itachi's voice was husky and smooth as velvet as he spoke next to me in my ears and pulled me closer to him slowly as he cautiously embraced me into his arms.

"Ita-" I slowly started but was cut off as Itachi's hand slowly gripped onto my chin to turn my head to look him into his eyes "Shh, just for a moment please" I couldn't help but comply to his request as he kept his gaze on mine.

"I've missed looking into your eye's, Yu-chan" I blushed softly at my nickname, I started to pull away when Itachi's arms tightened around my waist "Please just lay with me, let us both be those kids who fell in love, let us just be, Ita and Yu" I closed my eyes as I tried not to let out a sob as a lump formed in my throat.

I felt Itachi's arms lift me slowly as he brought me back into the room as he laid me down onto the bed he was using and laid down next to me, I twisted around in bed and looked at Itachi finally.

He looked older then when I last really saw him, he was still handsome as ever with his dark eyes his strong jaw and perfectly shaped face, His eyes held mine as we just stared at each other as we remembered all the times we just spent alone and in silence. We fell in love this way, our easy silence and understanding of each other.

Our forbidden romance, our doom of a clan we couldn't save.

For now I'd give into his request of just being my old self, I'd let myself at least have this last moment with him, with us being Ita-kun and Yu-chan.

I had the shower on full blast, watching Deidara's aura. His vibrations of his aura evened, humming a canary yellow, I took that for he was deep sleep (well as deep into sleep as a ninja could be). I kept the shower on and tipped toed to the seal on the door. Hoping that my study of the books that Sasori could aid me to get out.

Smiling I saw that it was a starter seal, on that mostly relied on will, from Iwa. Then I frowned, did he think I was stupid? I stared at it longer, unwilling to risk a was a shimmer to it, then I got it. It was like a thief's knot meant to trick people, a misdirect. Under the obvious black ink was the real seal. I had to place my face next to the wall to actual see the true seal.

I frowned, I didn't know how long Deidara would be under, but I only recognized bits and pieces of the real seal.

There was the compound of a Kiri seal that would reverse the effect of what was next to it, Konoha's amplifying seal, and Suna's blocker. Plus many more smaller parts that I didn't recognize. Digging up all the information I could remember on seals I could tell that because a fake seal made the real seal more susceptible to augmentation. Made it easier to crack but one wrong line and the seal would self destruct.

I looked to the clock, 5:45am, I was running out of time to give the asshole the slip. I bit my lip, an old bad habit, instead of focusing on what I don't know I'll focus on what I do know. The Kiri seal was right next to the Suna blocker…. that's it. I almost squealed, and as quietly as I could I grabbed one of his paint brushes, changing the reverse seal. And….

The seal fell right off and Deidara was still asleep. Today might not suck.

As I walked back and turned off the shower. Then I slipped out of the room. On my way back to my room I realised that I didn't have a headache today.

(3rd person)

As Ashley walked to her room for a shower and more appropriate clothing Sasori at the end of the hallway was walking towards Deidara's room and noticed the unlocked seals that were slowly disappearing upon looking, Sasori smirked and shook his head as he looked into the room to see a sleeping Deidara.

Sasori shook his head in anger and walked over towards Deidara and hit him hard, in the stomach as He woke him up "You weren't supposed to fall back asleep you Artless fool!" Sasori yelled in disgust as Deidara woke from his slumber annoyed and confused, just then he completely understood and realized that the seal was completely gone. He screamed how did she do that I made sure that it would hold.

Deidara realized the Camellia girl had broken the seal, angrily walking behind Sasori to her room to wait for her so that they could have a brief talk.

(Sasori's POV)

I thought to myself about what had happened and trying to piece the events of the day together. my mind was racing, how could Deidara have been asleep at a time like that. I knew if i was in his shoes, my brain would be screaming at me to figure out that to do so that i could be at least two steps ahead. I guess Deidara had his own way with dealing with his stress. Deidara and I were still waiting for Camellia to get out of the shower, so that we could talk. (as i thought to myself god she takes forever.) just as i muttered under my breath she stepped out of the room and gave me an evil glare of satisfaction, i guess she heard me. I asked Camellia, if we could have a talk so that i could tell her how proud of her i was. I stared at Deidara in a annoyed manner, i thought that he could make a better seal what a fool but at the same time i was proud that Camellia had come so far.

As soon as I got back to my room I hopped in to shower. I felt so gross that I bypassed my habit grabbing a change of clothes to take with me. Strange habit I know, but it was from having two sisters that were way older than me, I didn't want them to see the scars on my back from the car crash that took my memory.

The shower was glorious, but the aftermath not so much. Sitting on my bed was Deidara and standing in the doorway was Sasori. I frowned at both of them holding my towel closer to my body. "Do either of you respect locks or knocking?"

Deidara just clicked his tongue, his aura was fluctuating again between an angry red or proud yellow. Sasori's however was flickering a happy blue with a hint of angry violet.. I kinda felt bad because whatever scolding I was about to get would be void in my mind. Still frowning I said, "Can I please get dressed before you start scolding me?"

Sasori blanky said, "No. If you don't respect our protection," the violet in his aura grew, "then we won't respect your privacy." My hair was dripping on my back, and oddly I felt more self conscious about my back than anything else. I noticed Deidara aura settled on being angry red. Sasori voice was gravelly as he said, "But we won't punish you, but because it was already decided that you will spend the next week practicing with the Uchiha's. Get dressed before your late."

I woke up with a jolt as I heard a loud yell in the hallway outside of my room, I looked next to me to see I was alone.

Itachi gone.

I got out of bed and decided to finally just take a shower and think to myself as I tried to think of all the things that would spiral out of control eventually, I had to train Ashley along with Itachi at my side.

I couldn't do anything with him.

I wasn't going to let anything happen between us.

I shivered in delight when I felt the hot water pour over my skin relaxing me slightly as I slowly washed away all the dirt and grime off of my body, I shivered when I felt a cold breeze hit my skin. "No, Itachi. . ." I couldn't I told myself as I felt his chakra spike in anger but calmed a bit when he looked over at me, I was so glad that my back was turned to him.

"Hurry, We've got to talk to Deidara and Sasori. . ." his voice was cold and boring as usual when he talked business "Hn" I murmured as my reply and heard his steps slowly leave me to my shower, I kept washing the rest of my body and hair.

As I got out of the shower covering myself in a towel I walked in front of the mirror and wiped away the fog from the glass and looked at myself fully for the first time since coming back to this world.

I looked like a Uchiha, white pale skin, dark black onyx eyes roan soft face and long black hair that usually ended at my waist. I stroked my cheek as my reflection did the same I quickly activated my sharingan and really looked at my eyes as they glared at me with the dark red and black pattern of my sharingan.

I turned away from the mirror and got dressed in my tight legging ninja pant and skirt and top that hugged my body like a second skin, I wrapped the usual leg wrap around my thigh and wrapped my corset wrap that held both sword holsters and weapon pouches, I quickly put on the rest of my gear and then put on a necklace I hadn't worn in a solid 6 years.

I slowly looked down at the sharingan pendant of a lookalike of my brother's eye. I closed my eye and held in a cry of help as I thought of Shisui.

I shook my head and concentrated and dressed the rest of myself quickly and walked out the door with a bored and cold look.

I walked to the kitchen and cooked myself some Origri(Rice Balls) and ate them in silence as I waited on Ash to come bother me when she felt my Chakra here.

"Let's play. . ." I muttered to myself as I saw Hidan and Kakazu enter the room arguing loudly about hangovers and stupid green eyes brown haired girls, My eye twitched at that one.

What the fuck did Ashley do?

(Ashley)

The asshole and Shishou didn't even leave my room as I got changed, I had to grab my clothes and go into the bathroom.

Someone must have noticed that I wasn't wearing the "pretty outfits" and got me some more normal clothes. I had on loses shinobi pants with my kunai pouch on the left hand side, standard black sandals. With fishnet shirt under a long black shirt, I even thought to grab hand protectors. I put my hair in a french braid and pinned it into a bun.

As soon as I walked out of my the asshole threw something at my face, I caught it with my newly honed reflexes. "A harness?"

The jerk smirked, "It's for this un." He threw a small rod at me.

Shishou gravelly voice let on to his annoyance, "Because if you cannot stay out of trouble," The way he said that made me think he wasn't annoyed with me, "then you may as well have a weapon."

Was examining the rod as he spoke when I found a button, I tapped it twice, and it sprung it to a full sized (five feet) Bo staff. I kept my face mostly neutral, because I know that both of them were pretending to not be proud of me. But I still couldn't help but comment, "If I didn't know any better I would think I was growing on you both."

I saw the playful orange flash as Deidara slowly threw a kunai at my face, I grabbed it. "Girl, un, you don't want to be making the Uchiha wait, un."

Sasori-shishou growled, "Don't disappoint me Yuki." He turned around, "I have other matters to attend to, Deidara make sure she doesn't do anything else reckless."

We looked at each other, something happened must happened last night because he seemed, different. I warily looked at this new Deidara, "Your chipper this morning."

Deidara blue eye crinkled in amusement, "Only because," He looked out his shoulder as he passed through the doorway, "un, someone told me how attractive I am, un." My face turned red as the jerk ran off.

But I still ran after him, "Who? Kisame-san? I didn't know you were into that Deidara."

I almost ran into him he turned around so fast, his wolfish smile still in place he was about to respond when a door blasted open. Hidan flew out of the kitchen comically landing head over heel three times before hitting the wall. From within the kitchen Kakazu yelled, "You're paying for that!"

Lyssa stepped out from the doorway, "Shut it cheapskate," she went over to Hidan and grabbed him by his necklace, "And you, if I find out that you pulled that shit with another girl again." Her hands made a fist, "I'll make sure you are buried deep in the ground where you'll never be able to make sacrifices again."

She dropped Hidan, wiped off some non dirt off of her... interesting outfit (can she even fight it that clothes without it ripping?) and looked over to me. "Yuki-san it's time to train." And for a brief second her aura quivered, her face remained blank. But deep in her eyes, in the place where only true friends can see, Lyssa looked at me like I was a ghost.

(Yumi Uchiha)

Men!

They were idiots, I growled when I kept hearing Hidan complain over and over how Yuki denied him sexual release.

I stood up quickly and walked over to Hidan and knocked out his left knee and gripped onto his head and slammed his head onto the table then threw him against the wall and punched his face in, "What the hell bitch?!" and threw him out of the kitchen harshly "You're paying for that!" Kakazu yelled, I walked out of the the kitchen slowly as I clenched my fist tightly pissed off at him and stepped over his body as I bent down the pick him up.

"Shut it cheapskate," I growled out angrily and I gripped tightly onto his Jashin Pendant as he raised with it not wanting it to rip. "And you, if I find out that you pulled that shit with another girl again." I hissed out harshly and clenched my fist and glared hard at Hidan as my Sharingan glowed brightly in anger and Hidan looking at me like I was a insane.

"I'll make sure you are buried deep in the ground where you'll never be able to make sacrifices again." I dropped him to the ground and wiped of my hands of The imaginary dirt that wasn't even there. I blinked away my Sharingan and looked up to see Deidara and Yuki standing there looking at me standing over a grumbling Hidan.

I looked behind them and saw Itachi standing there with his arms crossed and him smiling at me, I felt my body heat up at that smile but then looked at Yuki completely stoic as I could be.

"Yuki-san it's time to train." I said slowly as I kept my eyes on both her and Itachi as he stood at the end of the hallway, I stepped away from Hidan and looked down at him and smirked before I kicked him in the ribs harshly and smiled when I heard a crack.

"Argh, you bitch!" I jumped out of the way and doges his hands and walked over towards Yuki and Deidara who were just silently assessing the situation they were in.

"Dei-da-ra" I slowly said huskily as I licked my lips teasingly and watched him turn his head to me as I stood next to Yuki who was I'm sure knew I was only doing this to get a reaction out of him.

I chuckled when I saw his cheeks give off a faint blush, I looked down into Yuki's eyes and nodded my head towards the end of the hallway where Itachi stood there waiting patiently.

"Come, we must train you! Madara's on a mission for a week so you and I can act freely" I whispered in her ear as I dragged her away farther and farther from a glaring Deidara who realized what I had done to him.

"Men" I chuckled and dragged Ashely to Itachi and followed him as he bring us to a different kind of training grounds.

The room was bigger and looked like a forest all around, I assumed it was to mimic a Villages training grounds for us to be prepared.

"Hm, this is new" Yuki whispered to herself and looked around amazed, I let her walk off to look around on her own as I stood next to Itachi as I tried not to look at him in his eyes.

"Yu-chan" he whispered as his hand brushed mine lightly, I bit my lip and looked up at him in the corner of my eye and saw Itachi was looking at me with a certain look in his eyes.

I gasped and turned away and followed after Yuki.

This was gonna be harder than I thought.

(Ashley)

I walked around the indoor/outdoor, I wonder how they grew such massive plant life indoors. It would require massive power input to keep the lights going and an army to keep the larger plants trimmed.

I felt the aura's behind me, Itachi was warm and happy, but Lyssa's was wavering sometimes with joy sometimes with … what I could only describe as anguish.

It made me realize something, the aura's I see are different from the chakra I feel in my veins. As I kept walking allowing the two cousins some space I tried to separate the feeling of their aura's from their chakra.

I felt like I was almost able to completely distinguish the two… when Lyssa broke my concentration. Smiling at me like we were about to get ready to go to lunch almost caused me to cry with joy. She was still in there. "Time to teach you how to avoid genjutsu." Her eyes bleed into the sharingan, I closed my eyes, "First things first." I sensed her punch but even I caught it, its going to send me flying. So I braced myself.

And I went flying. "You have to learn to avoid my eyes while keeping yours open." So much for a break. I thought as I came crashing back down to earth.
