! Likos!

! Chapter Seven!

! The Way Home and Girlish Screams!

First person, Shea…

"She hates me now; the one person that ever loved me in the first place, hates me." I groaned from Kisame's back where I had my face buried his shoulder. "She doesn't hate you, believe me, I know what hate feels like." He told me.

"How can anyone hate you, Kisa, you're smart, sweet, drop dead sexy, anyone who doesn't see that are either blind or stupid, possibly both." I said, hugging him from behind. "I'm glad you think so." He chuckled. "Good, because I do." I said before sighing.

"I'm depressed." I told him, "Don't be, you've been gone for three years so she has no right to hate you." He assured me, "Thanks but, I don't feel any better." I told him, sitting my chin on his shoulder as I stared ahead.

"Don't worry, kid. You probably won't ever see her again anyway." He said, petting my head in a reassuring manner. "Now I feel worse." I groaned as I once again buried my face in his shoulder. "Okay, I'll just stop talking." Kisa sighed, picking up speed so that we'd get to base faster.

First person, Lila…

"I should've killed him; I think that would've looked more bad-ass." I sighed, thinking over an encounter with a rather flirtatious and touchy man as I lied on the tail of the clay bird. "It would've, un." Deidara agreed from the head. "And that's why you're kinda awesome." I laughed.

"Kinda, hmm?" He looked upset and gave me a small glare.

"You could be even more awesome if you'd do as I told you and cut your hair until you at least have people wondering if you're male or female unlike now, as they just assume you're my prettier best friend." I frowned at my words as I realized Deidara was in fact prettier.

"How much longer, this bird smells like shit?" I sighed, covering my nose after sniffing the clay bird. "Not long, and if it's so bad why are you sniffing it, yeah?" he glanced back at me as I rolled over to my side.

"Oh don't give me that, you've put your nose in plenty of strange places. Do you honestly think Shea wouldn't tell me about you being near her ass?" I gave him a look and he blushed deep red.

"Shut it, hmm." he looked way and focused on flying while I laughed evilly to myself before I remembered why I was upset in the first place.

At base… Third person…

Everyone was lounging around the living room in boredom after supper when Deidara and Lila walked in.

"I do not look like a girl, un! It is more than obvious that I'm a guy!" Deidara yelled as they passed through the room.

"Oh really, is that why every time we leave base some random dude hits on you?" Lila asked in a mocking tone.

"Name one time a guy hit on me, because I certainly can't remember any!" the blond was furious and Lila seemed to be enjoying every minute of it.

"So you don't remember when we were about to leave Iwagakure and that guy stopped us and asked you out, I believe his exact words were 'H-hey, I know we don't know each other, but, um, I just thought, ya know, um, would you like to, um, go out with me or… something?'." She said in a fake male voice as Deidara turned a deep red and entered leader-Sama's office to give a mission report, Lila entered behind him with a victorious smirk on her face.

As soon as the office door shut the front door opened and Kisame entered with an upset looking Shea on his back. "And then the night I was kidnapped, Mom made pie, it was raspberry and super delicious." She mumbled to him as he carried her to her room.

The entire way back she sheared practically her entire life story with him, not sleeping and barely eating anything.

"It sounds delicious." he spoke to her like she was a child as he plopped her down in her bed and pulled the covers over her.

By the time he got to the door and turned out the lights she was already asleep, snoring lightly as a little drool slid from her mouth.

"Why the hell did that take so long?" Lila asked as she and Deidara finally exited the office two hours after they had entered.

"How should I know, Hmm? I'm just glad it's over." Deidara sighed as they entered the now nearly empty living room.

The only people in there now was Sasori, who was reading a book, Kakuzu, who was counting his money, and Hidan, who was lying on the couch half asleep and half watching a weird, violent cartoon on TV.

"Wow, you guys are real party animals." Lila deadpanned when she took everything in.

Deidara snorted in amusement which caused Hidan to jump awake at the sudden sound. "Huh, what?" he asked, looking around in slight confusion. "I swear, it's like you're a bunch of old hags at a nursing home." She sighed as she plopped down on top of Hidan, who was now fully awake.

"Damn it, bitch, get your fat ass off me!" He yelled as he rolled over and tossed her into the floor. She was just about to attack when Kisame entered the room to stand behind the oblivious blond man-women.

"Would you keep it down, Shea's trying to sleep." He said and Deidara let out a girly scream in his shock.

Everyone stared.

"What." Hidan started.

"The." Lila continued.

"Fuck." Hidan finished.

"Damn." a voice breathed out. Everyone turned to see Shea standing at the door in her night dress staring at Deidara with wide eyes.

Deidara blushed a deep shade of tomato red as Hidan and Lila started laughing, Kisame snickered, and Sasori smirked before going back to his book.

"Well, un, I'm just gonna-" the blond then darted from the room in a yellow blur. "Just when I thought nothing could surprise me…" Shea trailed as she walked into the kitchen for a class of water before she shuffled back to her room, shaking her head and mumbling about the madness she had to live with every day of her life.

Morning…

"Where's Shea, she normally doesn't miss breakfast?" Konan asked as everyone filed into the kitchen and took their seats. "Still asleep, she didn't get any sleep on our way back from Kiri so she's sleeping in for a few hours." Kisame told her and she nodded as Pein entered and sat down.

Everyone sat in silence for a few minutes before they heard a loud crash coming from down the hall. "What the hell?" Lila asked as they all darted toward Shea's room before kicking the door down and getting into fighting stances.

When they looked around the room they were startled to see nothing out of place, even Shea was still in bed snoring softly.

"Huh?" Hidan huffed in confusion as they studied the room. "I knew it; I knew we would all go insane if we lived in this tiny base together!" Lila hissed at everyone before storming out mumbling about how she blamed Tobi.

"Well this was a fucking waste of time." Hidan grumbled before being hit over the head, "Shut up, Shea's still asleep you moron." Kakuzu told him.

"Well I was." Shea said from her bed as she sat up and brushed the hair from her face. "So how can I help you this fine morning?" she asked as she gave them all a look.

"We just thought we heard something, go back to sleep." Itachi told her as he took his leave. "I seriously doubt I'll get any sleep with all of you running through base like chickens with your heads cut off." she sighed as she climbed out of bed and walked to her bathroom.

She paused before entering. "You can leave now." She gave everyone an expecting smile as they scrambled toward the door.

"Retards." she shook her head before opening the bath room door. She was about to shut it when something caught her eye.

Everyone was in the kitchen waiting for Shea to come and join them before they started eating, well, everyone except Sasori, who was in his room doing whatever Sasoris' do when their alone when Shea's scream echoed through base.

"What now?" Pein sighed, his hunger getting to him as they all dashed back to Shea's room.

As they entered her small bathroom the first thing they spotted was the man lying lifeless on the floor with a kunai in his neck, second was a trembling Shea as she stared in shock at the body.

"Oops." Was all she said as she looked up at the eight men, the two women, and the Tobi in front of her. "Shea, why the hell do you have a dead body in your floor?" Lila asked as if this was normal.

"I didn't mean to kill him, I just wasn't expecting to see him here and he scared me so out of reflex I grabbed one of the kunai I keep strapped to my leg and jabbed it into his neck, Ya know, like I did when Hidan thought it would be funny to grab my foot and drag me under my bed that one morning." She told them as she pulled the kunai from the man's neck and rinsed it off in the sink.

"That was funny." Lila snickered evilly, rubbing her hands together like a mad scientist. "Who is he?" Kisame asked, ignoring Lila as Shea walked over to stand in between him and Itachi. "I haven't the slightest clue." She told him with a sigh.

"Why and how the fuck did he get in?" Hidan asked and Shea shrugged. "Beats me." she said before turning and walking out the door. "I'm hungry, let's go eat." She ordered, stopping at her bedroom door to wait for the others.

Time skip…

Shea and Lila were sitting at the kitchen table playing go fish as they listened to Deidara and Hidan argue about who got the remote in the other room, Lila laughed quietly as the argument suddenly turned violent.

"I love these guys'." She sighed as she shook her head, a small smile showing on her face.

The smile was short lived however, when Hidan ran in and lifted her out of her chair just as Deidara came in. "Don't fucking move or your girlfriend gets it." Hidan told him, using Lila as a threat and a shield all at once.

Shea got out of her chair and backed away slowly as she took in the furious expressions on the blonds' faces.

"We are not together (un)!" they yelled as Lila swung her foot back, she looked happy when Hidan fell to the floor, holding his junk as he spit out curse words to Lila and Dei, who were laughing there asses off at some of the words he chose.

Shea blinked twice before sighing, she knew the moment Hidan ran in the game of go fish was over. "I'm gonna go find Kisa Nii-San." She told them as she watched Hidan tackle Deidara, who was waving the remote in the Jashinist's face and doing an 'I win' dance.

She looked over at Lila to see her fall to the floor holding her side as she laughed at the two idiots she worked with.

"I guess no one cares." She said, shaking her head as she walked to the door. She stopped only once when she heard a crash to make sure no one was bleeding too badly before leaving out to find her Nii-San.

She went straight to the training grounds, knowing Kisame and Itachi usually trained at this time of day, when the sun was just low enough to have just sunk behind the layer of trees surrounding the training area.

Walking out into the cool breeze Shea turned and shut the door behind her before walking a little ways away from base to the outdoor training grounds, since the indoor training grounds were still destroyed.

As soon as she entered the large clearing she was blasted with water, the force of the attack throwing her into the tree behind her.

"Shea, are you alright?" Itachi asked, looming over her as she spit out a mouth full on water. "No, I'm all wet." she pouted before she was lifted up from behind. "Sorry Shea, I wasn't expecting you." Kisame apologized with a sheepish grin.

"Expect the unexpected." She told him with a sigh. "It's okay though, I was gonna ask if you wanna come swimming with me after you finished training anyway." She shrugged, ringing out her shirt. "You can come to if you want, 'Tachi." She smiled at the passive Uchiha.

"Hn." he replied but she's lived with him long enough to sort out the tones he uses. "Great, Kisa will you be coming?" She asked, leaning her head back against his massive chest to look up at him.

"You bet." His grin grew as he rumpled her hair. "We'll be done here pretty soon, why don't you ask the others if they wanna join us?" He suggested.

Shea let out a sigh. "I guess I could since it'll be kinda boring just sitting here waiting for you… Okay, both of you meet me in my room as soon as you're changed into your swim suits." She said before she darted off toward base.

"She's in a hyper mood today." Itachi commented as he and his partner watched the retreating girl. "Yeah, but at least she isn't as bad as Tobi." Kisame shivered at the thought before he and Itachi continued the rest of their training.
