Me: No guest today, sorry. Why? Because I don't feel like it, that's why, does there need to be another reason? Sorry for the wait, I've been really stressed and busy lately. Especially with the Drumline. We practice a lot, it always leaves me tired. That's usually on the weekdays though and I spend the weekends recovering. I was honestly supposed to be going to Disneyland this weekend (we have a long weekend) but the person I was going with got sick so it was canceled the day before. It's an understatement to say I was disappointed. Anyway, enjoy the following chapter, I don't own anything and please review. Whenever I read a review it makes me smile that people take the time plus it's nice to know what people think. I also forgot to mention when it happened but a while ago we hit the 100 mark and I just want to thank everyone for reviewing, I really appreciate it.

=^.^==^.^==^.^=

I yawned and rubbed at my sore, tired eyes. There was school today, that was disheartening considering the fact I felt like complete and absolute shit. I'd stayed up all night watching anime. Ino, damn bitch, got me hooked on the stuff. I was on the verge of passing out and I wasn't sure what I was wearing exactly and for the first time in a long time I didn't exactly care. Though I did put some effort into my make-up, I didn't want the guys to know I'd pulled all-nighters the last three nights…that wouldn't go over well with them. I managed to do it so well that I managed to only look remotely half-dead. That took a LOT of cover-up and I still looked like something died on my face. I, nervously, descended down the stairs. I just wanted to leave before anyone saw my face. I slowly opened the front door, so far, so good.

"Sakura, why are you wearing your slippers?" Itachi asked suddenly appearing. My hair stood on end, that was definitely an Usui moment. DAMN YOU INO GETTING ME OBSESSED WITH ANIME!

"Oh…I must've forgot to put my real shoes on…I'll just go change them," I laughed nervously and ran up the stairs. I quickly changed my shoes and ran back downstairs.

"WELL I'M OFF BYE!" I yelled quickly and stormed out the door in a hurry. I began walking to school, along the way I met up with Haku. "Hey Haku." I was finally able to let my exhaustion show.

"Woah, you look dead," he said.

"Yeah, well that's just about how I feel," I groaned, wishing I was at school already so I could sleep on my desk.

"Did you pull an all-nighter again?" he asked.

"Actually three but who's counting," I laughed. He looked at me with dull eyes.

"Why would you do that?" he asked.

"Ino, IT'S ALL HER FAULT!" I shrieked.

"…What did she do?"

"…I don't wanna tell you."

"You can tell me, I'm your friend, right?"

"Yeah my bi friend you pervert in disguise."

"Get over that already, it was your own fault for inviting me."

"Yeah, because I thought you were gay."

"Quit changing the subject!"

"W-well, it was…anime," I whispered.

"What?" he asked, unable to hear my whisper.

"IT WAS ANIME YOU DAMN IDIOT! IT WAS ANIME!"

"Somebody needs more sleep."

"Do you want to die?"

"So wait you're an…otaku?" Haku fought laughter.

"I hate you."

=^.^==^.^==^.^=

"Sakura…" a voice whispered in my ear…what the hell was going on around here?

"Where am I, and who are you?" I asked. Suddenly somebody from the shadows revealed themselves. "…Sasori? Oh for a minute there I thought it was going to be something scary." Sasori smirked in a way that could only be described as…scary.

"Sakura…" he purred and stepped forward, I started to drop sweat I was freaking out so much.

"S-Sasori…what are you gonna do?" I asked carefully and backed away until my back hit a wall. Curse you Lord of all things wall. He just kept smirking and kept coming forward until he was pressed against me. He gently caressed my cheek and his head moved forward. His lips pressed against mine, and I'm pretty sure I was blushing like hell. Now, even in all my years of dating I had never frenched, I guess Sasori didn't have that fear as he licked my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I turned my head away, trying to escape his lips. But he seemed to find them again. I felt his hands gliding up my shirt, but I didn't gasp, no, I'd read too many fanfictions where I would gasp when someone would touch me like this. His hands roughly grasped my breast but I still refused to open my mouth…then again which was worse, this or frenching. Also, why did my muscles feel so heavy? Had Sasori done this before I would've punched him out.

Still, I turned my head away from his again.

"Stop it, Sasori," we were both surprised by the strength of my voice.

"You don't really want that, do you?" he purred. My hands finally found their way to his chest, I pushed against it frantically but it was without strength…where did all of it go? He started to kiss my neck.

"Sakura," he mumbled against my flesh.

"Stop it, please, stop," I pleaded more frantically this time.

"Sakura," he mumbled louder this time. And then. "SAKURA!" that was my teacher's voice. I suddenly woke up with a loud shriek, that dream scared the living shit outta me. I heard some grunts and chuckles from within the class but to be quite honest I didn't give a damn.

"Now that you've recovered from your little nap, maybe now you can tell us the square root of pi," she snapped.

"Ok, sensei, the square root of pi is the square root of pi. You taught us yourself that it's too much work to do otherwise unless we're graphing," I answered. She was silent, she looked like she was about to explode…did I do that? I think I did, oh well.

"Just stay awake," she muttered and returned to her lesson. As if I would want to go back to sleep after that chilling nightmare. After the class ended, I walked with Ino to our next one.

"So, what were you dreaming about? We all heard you muttering the words 'stop it, please stop'," Ino laughed.

"I'd rather not talk about it," I sighed, just hoping it would disappear.

"You weren't having…a dirty dream, were you?" she smirked.

"Obviously not, I mean geez pig, I'm not like you," I lied like a pro.

"Oh har har har, very funny forehead, but seriously, you've got me curious now," she rolled her eyes.

"Nope," I shrugged as we arrived to our next class.

I managed to get through the rest of the day without sleeping; however, by the time I got home, even though I was afraid to sleep I couldn't help but pass out on the couch.

I was in Itachi's room and I was wearing a simple black dress with heels and I was sitting on his bed…what the hell was going on? Suddenly, Itachi came into the room.

"Sakura, what are you doing in here?" he asked.

"I'm not really sure…" I trailed off, it was true. I'd never felt so confused about my own damn dreams. Luckily, Itachi didn't jump and rape me. No, instead he sat at his desk.

"You can stay in here but there isn't much to do," he said.

"Just being with you is enough for me to do," I blurted out without thinking…ok that did not come out right. Itachi turned to me with shocked eyes.

"What?" he asked, whilst standing up. No, no Itachi sit back down SIT BACK DOWN!

"Um that's not how it sounded, I um." But it was too late; Itachi was already stalking forward with that lustful expression. This time I stood up, prepared to make a run for the door, but my legs felt heavy, so heavy they wouldn't move more than a little jerks and shakes. He wasn't as forceful as Sasori. Instead of kissing me he hugged me…I knew this was a dream and all but if this was seriously what Itachi wanted that was the most adorable thing I'd ever heard of.

"Can I kiss you?" he asked. Wow, he had the courteousy to ask, I think I liked dream Itachi.

"O-ok," I muttered and he slightly loosened the hug to press his lips against mine, unlike the Dream Sasori, Dream Itachi didn't try to French. It was just a simple, light kiss. I barely felt it yet; it felt so much nicer than the forceful kisses from before. Like they held so much more than just lust. Instead I found myself, inadvertently, deepening the kiss. Though I still refused the tongue action.

"Sakura," he whispered after we broke for air. "Sakura." I chose that moment to wake up, with a couple gasps of air. I sat up feeling only slightly less exhausted. I glanced at the clock that read 5:30. I glanced over at Kisame who was lying on one of the other couches staring at the TV which had iCarly playing.

"Why do you like that show much! It's freaking annoying (A/N no offense is intended to lovers of iCarly)," I snapped, the exhaustion was getting to me.

"Hey, I think it's funny!" Kisame exclaimed.

"Oh yeah, that means so much," I laughed; now I was borderline bitchiness.

"What's your problem?" he muttered. I decided not to answer and began to walk upstairs; I think it was time for more anime. I was completely obsessed with Shugo Chara due to the sole character known as Ikuto. He was just so amazing, made me wish my guys were like that. Or better yet, made me wish I was Amu. I mean I was already half-way there right, I had the natural pink hair. I booted up my PC and went to a random anime website. I excitedly waited until some random screen opened up on my screen and I couldn't exit out of it. I had just downloaded a damn virus onto my computer.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed, infuriated and ran from my room like a rabid dog. I ran straight into Pein's office, Hidan was sitting there probably being scolded about something. Hidan gasped in terrified shock at how distorted I must've looked.

"Uh…S-Sakura, what is it?" Pein asked nervously as though he just wanted to get me out of his office as fast as possible.

"Bye me a new computer," I hissed with a demon face. Suddenly, Kakuzu appeared.

"Why? You're lucky you have a computer at all, you can use it until it breaks," he said.

"You know…I can make that happen," I smiled deviously with stars in my eyes as I held up a sledgehammer.

"Wait a second…where did you get that sledgehammer?" Pein asked.

"That, is unimportant," I shrugged.

"Sakura, just go use your old computer," Kakuzu sighed.

"I can't."

"Why?"

"It got a virus."

"How did that happen?"

"Is that really the important thing? Don't you think it's more important for us to fix it?" I asked.

"How did that happen?" he repeated.

"I was watching anime," I muttered, humiliated.

"What?" everyone asked.

"FUCKING DAMMIT GET YOUR DAMN EARS CHECKED I SAID I WAS WATCHING ANIME!" I exploded. Hidan started chuckling until he was roaring with laughter.

"You're an…an otaku?" he choked out.

"Yeah and you're a sadistic bastard with an S and M fetish that's so obsessed with death and blood you're willing to become emo just so he can see it," I rolled my eyes. Hidan's laughter ceased and he glared at me sharply but still didn't say anything.

"We'll have to get rid of it," Kakuzu sighed and left the room.

"Where the hell is he going?" I asked.

"Probably to fix the problem, Kakuzu is actually pretty good with computers so he probably went to fix it," Pein said. I sighed and left the room, I saw Kakuzu leave mine.

"Sakura, you are an idiot. That wasn't a virus, that was an ad," Kakuzu shook his head and left.

"Oh…SWEET!" I shouted and ran back to my computer and started the episode. I rubbed at my eyes again, only halfway through the episode and I wanted more sleep, not to mention all the make-up I used to cover up my dead face was starting to make my eyes water. I quickly scrubbed my face with soap until I felt satisfied and wiped it off gently with a moist wash cloth. I stared at my reflection. The bags under my eyes were so dark I was borderline permanent stress lines…LIKE ITACHI! As much as I would've loved to watch anime all night again. I decided it might be better to catch up on sleep. But before that, I should probably eat something. So, I descended down the stairs. I decided to pull a Naruto and make some ramen, it was quick and filling. I filed past Deidara who was making a sandwich, he glanced at me and did a double take.

"What happened to your face, un?" He asked, with a face that suggested a face crossed between disgust and shock. I stared at him with an unamused face. I know that I didn't look my best but I didn't look that bad.

"What happened to your hair, un?" I mocked him. Sasori, who was sitting at the table eating, laughed. I forced myself not to blush, the memories of my dream flowing back to me in vivid memories. Deidara looked about ready to spit flames, I ignored him and began to boil water and pulled out a packet of chicken ramen. After the water was boiling, the second AND I MEAN SECOND I put the ramen in the water Naruto flew through the door.

"I smell ramen!" he exclaimed and ran up to me.

"You can't have any," I growled. Maybe my exhaustion was getting to me but I had the strangest urge to kill Naruto if he didn't leave.

"Awwww, why not?" he whined. I let out a grunt of annoyance.

"I think you'd better leave," Kisame said and started to lead Naruto out.

"What, why? NO I WANT SOME RAMEN TOO!" Naruto said and he was thrown out of the house. Anyway, I quickly finished making my ramen and sat down at the table next to Deidara who still looked pissed enough to commit murder.

'Woah, somebody's pissy'

'Inner? Where have you been this entire time?'

'We already discussed I was going on vacation because the writer has been overworking me!'

'OVERWORKING YOU! If anyone deserves a vacation it's me!'

'Selfish, are we? I mean, I have to emotionally guide you in every chapter'

'I'm pretty sure I did well enough through this chapter without you!'

'You haven't slept in three days minus some short naps, you've been having erotic dreams about the Akatsuki, oh yeah and you're obsessed with anime'

'Shuddup'

'See you do need me'

'I have no comment'

'Yeah, that's what I thought'

I ate my ramen as fast as I could, so fast that it burned my tongue and I couldn't taste it but I didn't really care, my little chat with inner left me in a bad mood. After finishing I pretty much threw the bowl into the sink. I heard something shatter but I didn't really give a damn and I walked up the stairs. I heard Kisame scream "NO MY FAVORITE BOWL! IT HAD THE CHARACTERS FROM ICARLY ON IT!" I chuckled darkly as I ascended the stairs and walked into my room. Without even glancing around I curled under the covers and slept.

You had got to me kidding me! Though this place looked kind of strange and unfamiliar, I wasn't wearing normal clothes either. I could only describe them as…ninja. I was staring at…Deidara? who was wearing a strange black cloak with clouds. Naruto and Kakashi were with me which was…weird, I mean I could understand Naruto but Kakashi was my teacher that was just weird.

"Can someone tell me what's going on here because I'm a little confused," I said. Everyone stared at me like I was a retard.

"We're fighting Deidara from the Akatsuki Sakura-chan," Naruto explained.

"Why would I want to fight Deidara?" I asked.

"You're the one that hunted him down because you're mad he killed the teme," Naruto exclaimed.

"Who's the teme?"

"Sasuke!"

"Why on earth would I care about Sasuke," I laughed so hard I had to clutch my sides. This dream was just ridicules! Naruto stared at me in horror as though I'd spoken something of taboo. "What? Now if you don't mind I'd much rather go home now."

"Sakura…we went on a twelve week mission hunting Deidara down and you just suddenly want to go home!" Kakashi exclaimed.

"Hey, SENSEI THIS IS MY DREAM SO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! Just you being in my dreams is creepy enough," I shivered.

"You think you're dreaming?" Naruto asked, shocked.

"Yeah, I know this because I remember falling asleep!" I smiled smartly. Everyone stared at me like a was a freaking retard.

"You know I'M STILL HERE UN!" Deidara exclaimed.

"Yes, we all sense your presence you blonde bombshell, just go blow something up and let the adults talk," I sighed and waved him off. I could see Deidara twitching in the corner of my eye. I could already tell what he was thinking but what he didn't want to say because it would sound just plain stupid. "Go ahead, say it, we all know you're thinking it."

"WHY DON'T I BLOW YOU UP UN!" he yelled and started to force clay into his hands…? NOWAI HE HAD MOUTHS ON HIS HANDS! I ran as fast as I could up to Deidara and stared at the hand mouths in awe.

"Those are so cool!" I whisper yelled and poked at them. Deidara just stared at me, forgetting whatever he was doing before.

"Sakura! Get back over here; he could kill you at any moment!" Naruto yelled. Suddenly a bird thingy came from his hands mouths.

"Woah! You can do that!" I asked excitedly.

"…are you retarded un?" he asked.

"I'm not the one with a speech impediment," I shrugged.

"IT'S A HABIT UN!" he yelled infuriated.

"Is it also a habit when you touch yourself at night?" I asked. Deidara was about to lunge at me when I woke up to a "Sakura, what are you doing in my bed un?"

I grunted and stared up at Deidara. Huh, I must've been so out of it that I went into his room instead of mine.

"DEIDARA!" I exclaimed and jumped out of bed with a huge smile. "I JUST HAD THE WEIRDEST DREAM ABOUT YOU!"

"Sakura." "First of all we were all in some sort of weird world and you were wearing-" "Sakura." "And Naruto and Kakashi were there too which was weird because-" "Sakura!" "And then you had these weird hand mouth thingies! Oh I almost forgot about the part with the clay bird!" "SAKURA! Wait, what was that about birds?"

"You're hand mouths spit out a clay bird!" I squealed excitedly. Man, this exhaustion was really getting to my head.

"Forget it! Could you please either go back to your own room or stop talking because I'm tired," Deidara groaned.

"Fine, sure, whatever you say, I'll just leave," I said and left his room and successfully found my way to mine. I threw off my clothes and quickly changed into some real pajamas. I cuddled into my pillow and fell asleep hoping that no more weird dreams would plague my mind.

Ze next day

I woke up feeling much, much more refreshed though I did still feel like sleeping until night. I shook off the feeling. I decided it was time to get ready for school; I quickly threw on a black T-shirt with Blue on it from Foster's home for Imaginary Friends. I ran into the bathroom and quickly brushed out my ratty hair, hardly paying any attention to my reflection. But when I did get a good look, that's when I noticed it. In big blue ink of a marker, written across my forehead was BAKA! I stomped down the stairs and pointed to it.

"Who did this?" I asked.

"IT'S CALLED PAYBACK BITCH! THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BREAKING MY ICARLY BOWL!" Kisame yelled. My eye started to involuntarily twitch.

"I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!"

'The following scene is not appropriate for people under the age of infinity so instead please enjoy the following description of Deidara and Sakura making out because they never got a dirty dream'

He suddenly pressed his lips against Sakura's; she grumbled against them in surprise but made no effort to move away. She licked his bottom lip, wanting entrance, she wanted to try some new, more adult like things.

'Ok that is enough inner, where'd you pull that shit from, Twilight?'

'*suddenly hides Twilight book behind back* no obviously not'

'You disgust me'

=^.^==^.^==^.^=

Me: Well, there you have it. I honestly didn't think I was gonna finish it until at least a couple more weeks but I was so motivated to write it that I just finished it in two (technically three days). I guess that's it, I really don't feel like counting out who's winning in the polls right now but if I had to guess it's either Itachi, Sasori, or Deidara. Also, please don't vote twice, send me some ideas for the next chapter if you can, and as for fanart…well do it if you want to. I don't care anymore, it's a selfish request and I'm happy people are even reading my stories.
