Hazel: A brief warning, this chapter contains a lot of spoilers if you do not know Itachi's back story or Tobi's identity. Just so you know. Oh and this is the longest chapter we've ever written. I'm so proud.

Alex: MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Hazel: -sighs- Alex, cut it out, you're not evil... yet.

Alex: YES I AM!

Hazel: Alex...

Alex: Meh, whatever. Hey, I hired someone to do the disclaimer today!

Hazel: Oh, really? Who?

L: -reading off q-card- Hazel and Alex do not own Naruto, TDI or Death Note. And Hazel got the description of Tsukuyomi off of the Naruto Wiki site.

Hazel: O.O It's L... :D

L: Can I have some cake now?

Alex: Sure. -hands L cake-

Hazel: It's... L... -hugs L- You're the new official disclaimer-type-person.

L: Uh... Okay.

Chapter Ten

All Hell Will Break Loose

"That... Was... Amazing." Hazel sniffed. Alex nodded, blowing her nose loudly. Both girls wore Hogwarts uniforms, Alex with a Slytherin tie and Hazel with a Ravenclaw tie.

"Hazel... Are you crying?" Alex asked. Hazel snorted.

"Me? Crying? ... Yes..." Hazel's shoulders slumped.

"... Me too." Alex murmured, wiping her eyes.

"It just... ended! My childhood!" Hazel wailed, hugging a stuffed snowy owl. Itachi, who was discreetly following the pair, looked completely confused.

'Why are they crying over a movie? I didn't cry when I killed my entire family... Or when I abandoned Sasuke... Wait... Okay, maybe there was one tear there...' He thought, musingly.

"Why the hell is Itachi following us while monologuing about crying...? Don't the Akatsuki have something better to do than follow little girls? I thought that was Orochimaru's job..." Hazel said to Alex. Itachi's eyebrows shot to his hairline, half because he had spoken out-loud, and half because the suspicious girls knew about a secret criminal organization.

Okay, mostly the second reason.

(A/N: The following is an actual conversation that occurred between Hazel and Alex on July 27, 2011)

"Speaking of which... What's the Akatsuki?" Alex asked. Hazel stumbled to a stop, choking on air and spinning to stare at Alex as if she had three heads. Both of them had completely forgotten about the silent Uchiha lurking in the shadows.

"... You're fucking with me, right?" She asked. Alex slowly shook her head. "ALEX! We've written three stories with the Akatsuki in them! I sort of assumed I'd told you about them before..." Alex shook her head.

"Nope. I have no idea who they are." She said. Hazel facepalmed.

"Well, they are a group of ten S-Ranked criminals-"

"WHOA! They're CRIMINALS? So in Akatsuki Productions... We have a CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION put on a musical?" Alex cut off Hazel. Hazel snickered.

(A/N: Cue the worst explanation of the Akatsuki members ever.)

"Yeah..." The brunette pulled her Hogwarts cloak closer around her as a brisk wind swept over the street. "Well, Pein is the figure-head leader-"

"Figure head? So he's not the actual leader? Then who is?" Alex interrupted. Hazel glared dryly at her.

"I'm getting to it. Konan is the only female member of the Akatsuki, she's Pein's partner. Then there's Zetsu, this guys who is half white and half black-"

"That's racist!" Alex announced. Hazel's eye twitched.

"No, it's not. Shut up and listen." She waited for Alex to nod before continuing. "Anyway, Zetsu is like a Venus Fly Trap or something, and he eats people. He works alone and mainly does reconnaissance type stuff. Then there's Hidan and Kakuzu. Hidan worships this God-type-guy called Jashin and he's immortal. He's also completely sadistic, apparently enjoys pain and swears more than we both do... Combined." Alex was in awe.

"More than BOTH of us?" She asked. Hazel nodded. "That's... A LOT!"

"Kakuzu is obsessed with money and has these weird stitches all over his body which he can fight with. He also has three hearts. Um... Who else... Right, Itachi and Kisame!" Itachi listened even more closely than before, gliding a few steps toward them. "Well, Itachi is Sasuke's brother, as you know. He killed his entire clan -minus Sasuke- when he was only thirteen-"

"That was a bitch move." Alex commented. Hazel shrugged, her expression troubled.

"Well, there's a hell of a lot more to the story..." Hazel shrugged.

"I've got time." She countered. Hazel nodded thoughtfully.

"Well... You see, the Uchiha clan was planning a coup d'état against the-"

"What's a coup d'état?" Alex asked. Hazel sighed.

"An overthrow. Anyway, the Uchihas were planning to overthrow the Leaf village. They entrusted Itachi with the task of spying on the village, but he knew that if they tried to over-throw the village, it would only lead to another war -and he was a pacifist, so he wasn't very keen on the idea- so he began spying on the Uchihas instead. He relayed information about them to the Hokage-"

"Heh, heh... Hoe Kage..." Alex snickered. Hazel's eye twitched, but she ploughed on, seemingly choosing her words carefully. Itachi felt a sense of foreboding, hearing his history being told by the young girl, who shouldn't have known it in the first place. It was an odd feeling.

"-and the other village elders. Soon enough, against the wishes of the Third village leader the elders ordered Itachi to eliminate the Uchiha clan. But before he did, Itachi discovered the existence of Madara Uchiha -who happens to be Tobi's true identity-, who was attempting to-"

"WHOA!" Alex interrupted yet again, her eyes nearly popping out of her head. She looked shocked. "Tobi is an Uchiha?" Hazel nodded and continued.

"-rekindle the flames of war in Konoha. In return for not attacking Konoha, Itachi offered to help Madara claim vengeance against the Uchiha for turning their backs on him decades earlier. Madara agreed." Hazel sighed as Alex opened her mouth. "What now, Alex?"

"Why does Itachi hate war so much anyway? I mean... Everyone hates war... But... And... You know what, never mind. Continue, this is getting interesting." As Alex said that, she pulled out a bag of chips. Hazel rolled her eyes and murmured something about Choji.

"As I was saying; Itachi slaughtered his entire clan overnight, sparing only Sasuke, because he could not follow through with the orders to kill him... He really had loved him..." She paused, biting her lip. "Or rather, I guess he still does. He told Sasuke he had killed them only to test his abilities, making Sasuke believe their family was completely innocent. He told Sasuke that he was not even worth killing. In addition, Itachi told him, "You've always wanted to surpass me. That's why I'm going to let you live. if you wish to kill me, then hate me, despise me. and by all means flee, cling to your wretched life". Sasuke managed to awaken his Sharingan, and pursue Itachi. Upon reaching Itachi, he managed to knock off his forehead protector. Itachi then knocked out Sasuke, who awoke in the hospital remembering only what Itachi wanted him to."

"That was a bitch move." Alex stated. Hazel glared at her.

"Wait! By doing all this, he wanted Sasuke to take vengeance on him and become a hero to Konoha, thus redeeming the Uchiha name. Hoping that his beloved little brother would someday be powerful enough to kill him, Itachi left the village as a traitor. Knowing that Konoha would still want to eliminate Sasuke, Itachi pleaded with the Third to keep Sasuke safe. He also threatened Danzō -this douchey elder- to not harm Sasuke or risk Itachi revealing Konoha's secrets to enemy countries. Sasuke's safety was therefore secured and Itachi returned to his original plan of becoming infamous for his slaughter of the Uchiha clan." Hazel paused for breath.

"That's... Not a bitch move..." Alex said quietly.

"Itachi joined the Akatsuki in order to keep an eye on the organization, along with Madara Uchiha, in case either ever acted against Konoha. At some point in time, Itachi contracted a fatal illness. He kept himself alive through the intake of various medicines and sheer willpower, in the hopes of living long enough to die by Sasuke's hands... And, that's it. I seriously doubt Itachi had planned on Sasuke going to Orochimaru so he could become strong enough to defeat him..." Hazel nodded to herself. "Yes, I don't think he planned on that at all..." She shrugged. "Although I could be wrong, I don't know how the mind of Itachi Uchiha works."

"Wow... That's... Kind of sad, actually... So, was Sasuke always a douchebag?" Alex asked. Hazel rolled her eyes. Itachi's eyes narrowed.

"No. He was actually a pretty happy kid. Cute, even. Then again, I doubt you would be Little Ms. Sunshine if your brother killed off your entire family for no apparent reason -that you knew about- and then left to join a criminal organization." Hazel said. Alex gave her a dry look.

"My brother is five." She retorted. Hazel shrugged.

"Details. Anyway, that's how Sasuke became a douchebag angsty kid and how Itachi joined the Akatsuki. Getting back to the Akatsuki, the final three members are Deidara, Sasori and Tobi..." Hazel trailed off with a scream as Itachi appeared behind the girls, lifting them off the ground by their collars. And suddenly they were on a roof-top. He held both of them suspended at eye-level, his Sharingan activated. Hazel was about four inches off the roof, while Alex was about six.

"I forgot he was here." Alex stated, nervously. Hazel nodded in agreement. Both of them inwardly debated the pros and cons of trying to kick Itachi where the sun didn't shine. They decided against it.

"..." Itachi said nothing for a moment, whether it was because he just didn't want to talk or because he was gathering his thoughts, the girls didn't know. "How do you know about the Akatsuki?" He asked finally. His voice was soft, his expression stoic as his gaze flickered between Alex and Hazel. Alex didn't seem at all concerned.

"Hazel told me." She replied easily. Hazel gave her a slightly betrayed look, although she knew Itachi had heard her explaining it to Alex.

"Can you put us down?" Hazel asked, her voice stained, but calm. Itachi's gaze locked with her's for a long moment and then he set them both lightly on their feet. Hazel seemed rather relieved. "Thank you. As for how I know about the Akatsuki..." Hazel smirked. "That's a secret." Itachi was surprised by her sudden bold behaviour.

"You seem to know a lot about me... So I assume you are familiar with Tsukuyomi." He stated, watching Hazel's reaction closely. The already pale girl lost all the colour in her face, making her appear ghostly and her eyes darted to the roof-top as quickly as possible.

"Uh..." Hazel cleared her throat. "Yeah, I'd really rather you didn't use that." Alex looked between them, confused.

"Wait, what?" She asked. Hazel kept her eyes on the ground.

"Tsukuyomi requires eye contact to be performed. When executed, the technique traps the target in an illusion that is completely controlled by the user. Itachi's prowess with the technique has allowed him to alter the perception of time with ease within the illusion to make it seem to last for days when in fact it only lasts a few seconds. This allows him to torture the target for what seems like days on end, causing mental trauma that will render them unable to fight for an extensive period of time." She said, as if reading it from a book. Itachi watched her levelly and deactivated his Sharingan with a slight sigh.

"Correct. You've certainly done your research." He said quietly. Hazel just shrugged, still watching the ground.

"Ow!" Alex exclaimed, batting away a black rose petal that had fallen on her shoulder. There was a singed hole in her Hogwarts cloak where the petal had landed. All three of them looked up as more petals began falling. Hazel hissed as one landed on her forehead and quickly looked at the ground as blood started flowing from the wound that had appeared. "Fucking rose petals... what is this? Ouran Highschool Host Club?" Alex scowled. Hazel wiped the blood trailing down her nose on her sleeve and sighed.

"The way things are going, I wish we had made this about an anime made purely for fan-service purposes." She grumbled.

"Well, lookie here." A musical voice chirped. In front of them stood Kasumi. "Two little mice... And a weasel." Kasumi laughed shrilly. Itachi sighed and pulled off his Akatsuki cloak before throwing it over Alex and Hazel.

"Stay under there." He grunted. Hazel and Alex nodded, peeking out from under the cloak. Itachi stood still and locked gazes with Kasumi. The tall woman froze. After a moment the petals stopped falling. Then Kasumi fell to her knees, panting and unable to move.

"And that's how Tsukuyomi works." Hazel murmured. Alex was looking at Kasumi.

"That was AWESOME!" She yelled. Hazel facepalmed. The petals that had been on the ground suddenly lifted into the air as a cyclone formed around them. Itachi seemed completely unfazed by the petals that burned his skin. The Uchiha suddenly seized both Alex and Hazel by the arm and within the blink of an eye, they were in a classroom at school. Itachi motioned to each of them to take a seat at a desk in the front of the class and he sat down in a chair that seemingly came from no where.

"I'll ask you again; how do you know about the Akatsuki?" He said softly. His voice was surprisingly non-threatening. Hazel sighed heavily and leaned back in her chair.

"You have to promise not to tell the Akatsuki." Hazel said carefully, crossing her arms. Alex nodded in agreement.

"Why?" Itachi asked, cocking one eyebrow.

"I wouldn't put it past Pein or Madara to want to take advantage of the information." Hazel replied simply. Itachi couldn't argue with that.

"... Alright, go on." Itachi relented. Hazel nodded, glancing at a clock.

"It's a pretty long story... How much time have you got?" She asked, meeting Itachi's calm gaze. He shrugged.

"How much time do you need?" He asked, raising his eyebrows slightly, almost challengingly. Hazel took a deep breath and began simply:

"We're the authors."

Some hand-talking, snorting, a slap and a lot of rambling later...

"I see..." Itachi murmured to himself, observing Hazel and Alex carefully.

"So... you believe us?" Hazel asked tentatively. Itachi paused before nodding.

"It's a very... far-fetched story, but you seem truthful." He nodded again. "Yes. I believe you." Hazel let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding.

"Heh, you shouldn't." Alex suddenly said, grinning maliciously. "We're not to be trusted." Hazel and Itachi both turned to look at her, and they both thought they saw her eyes turn grey for a fleeting moment. "... Why are you guys looking at me like that?" Alex asked, her eyebrows raised. Hazel tilted her head in confusion.

"Uh... Nothing..."

The Next Day in First Period

Alex walked around Hazel and over to Sasuke, leaning over his shoulder. The Uchiha tensed and slowly turned to look at her, scowling.

"Hey little girl want some candy...?" Alex hissed in one breath. Sasuke's scowl deepened.

"I'm not a girl." He replied curtly.

"Prove it." Alex said, using her 'rape face'. Sasuke stared at her like she was an annoying fly.

"You're worse than that pedophile, Orochimaru." He stated bluntly.

"OH REALLY? WELL, I AM THAT PEDOPHILE OROCHIMARU!" Alex yelled crazily.

"... That is creepy." He grunted, looking like he wanted nothing more than to throw her across the room. Alex's eyes dulled, looking almost grey. She wrapped her arms around Sasuke, leaning close to his ear.

"You haven't seen creepy yet..." She whispered eerily. She then paused and licked his cheek, making his eye twitch. "But you will, in due... time..." She proceeded to stare him down. For once, Sasuke was speechless.

"Alex! What the hell was that?" Hazel yelled, disgusted. Alex just continued to stare down Sasuke, her eyes grey. Hazel blinked, worried. "A-Alex?" She squeaked. Alex's eyes flashed red before turning brown again. She blinked hazily before looking at Sasuke and jumping off of him.

"AH! RAPE!" She yelled, kicking his shin. Sasuke grunted.

"The hell?" He growled.

"YOU WERE GOING TO RAPE ME!" Alex shouted, kicking his other shin. "BITCH!" Hazel frowned, tilting her head.

"Alex..." She murmured. Alex's leg lashed out again, aiming for Sasuke's crotch this time. The Uchiha caught her ankle. Alex's eyes widened and then she scowled.

"Ah shit..." She grumbled. Hazel glared coldly at Sasuke.

"Uchiha, kindly unhand my idiot." She said calmly, before turning her steely gaze to Alex. "And Alex... I need a word."

"Whatever..." Sasuke grunted, releasing Alex's foot.

"HA! I WIN!" Alex yelled, grinning. Hazel seethed silently, grabbing Alex's arm and dragging her toward the door.

"We're going to the bathroom, Kakashi." She called.

"Whatever." Kakashi said, waving them away. Once they were in the hall, Hazel rounded on Alex.

"What the hell was that?" She asked. Alex looked exasperated.

"What the hell was what? You're the one who suggested asking if he wanted any candy!" She countered.

"Not that! You... You licked him! You probably have a terrible disease!" Hazel exclaimed, her nose wrinkling in disgust.

"A DISEASE? I LICKED HIM? AHHH!" Alex fell to her knees and threw her hands in the air. "WHY?"

"Wait... You actually don't remember?" Hazel asked slowly, her stomach twisting uneasily.

"REMEMBER WHAT?" Alex yelled. Hazel stared at the shorter girl for a moment.

"You... You..." She shook her head slightly. "Nevermind..."

"Oh..." Alex grinned. "Cool. LET'S GO SEE THAT MOVIE!"

"What movie?" Hazel asked, quirking an eyebrow.

"HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART TWO, of course. You've been spazzing about it all day." Alex said, rolling her eyes.

"But, Alex... We've already seen it..." Hazel said, her eyes widening.

"Um... No, we haven't...? The whole purpose of our HP binge was to build up TO see it." Alex said, her brow furrowing. Hazel laughed nervously. The sound was brittle.

"Alex, stop messing with me! We saw it yesterday." She smiled weakly. Alex gave her a withering glare.

"No, YOU stop messing with ME! We're going to see it now!" She retorted.

"But... It's first period..." Hazel murmured uncertainly.

"No... We just finished last period..." Alex said, frowning. Hazel suddenly started panicking.

"No! It's first period! See!" Hazel squeaked, pointing through the window of their English classroom at Kakashi and Itachi, who were at the front of the room.

"What? But... But... NO!" Alex exclaimed, her eyes wide. Itachi suddenly walked out of the classroom, watching the pair curiously.

"Something wrong?" He asked calmly. Alex rounded on him.

"QUIET, YOU!" She yelled. Itachi rolled his eyes. Hazel frowned and took out her notebook.

"Something isn't right..." Hazel's eyes widened. "T-The writing..."

"What about it?" Itachi asked, ghosting closer to Hazel. Alex glared at him.

"NONE OF YOUR BUSIN-ASS, FERRET BOY!" She yelled.

"Itachi means Weasel, not Ferret." Hazel murmured absently, flipping through the book while murmuring to herself. "The run in with Kasumi last night... Alex acting weird... It's all that writing..." Hazel shivered. "It reminds me of Tom Riddle's diary..."

"Diary Riddle was hot." Alex stated. Hazel eyed her weirdly. "I MEANT THE MOVIE DIARY RIDDLE!"

"Alex... This is not the time to be fangirling over an actor." Hazel sighed.

"Does that include Tom Felton?" Alex asked. Hazel glared at her.

"Yes!" She exclaimed.

"Fuck you." Alex growled.

"What does this have to do with the ghost writing in that notebook of yours?" Itachi questioned. Hazel shook her head.

"Absolutely nothing, I'm afraid." She deadpanned.

"Hn." Itachi grunted. Hazel's eye twitched and she didn't notice as Sasuke slipped out of the classroom.

"Don't makes noises at me, you're almost as bad as Sasuke." She said, glaring at the older Uchiha. Sasuke stopped on his way down the hall and turned to glare at her.

"Hn." He grunted. Hazel spun around to glare at him.

"Fuck you too, douchebag!" She called. Sasuke flipped her off and continued down the hall. Alex's eyes flashed grey.

"Hazel, calm down, this is no matter to be taken lightly, and we mustn't waste time." She said calmly. Hazel choked on air and stared at Alex as if she had just announced her undying love for Orochimaru.

"W-What...?" She squeaked. Alex's eyes turned red.

"Calm the fuck down, or I'll cut you!" She growled. Her eyes turned grey again. "Now, let us continue our discussion."

"But... And... You... I... What... Eh?" Hazel stammered. Itachi just looked between the girls thoughtfully. Alex's eyes returned to their normal brown and she wilted tiredly.

"... Alex?" Hazel squeaked, her voice unnaturally high.

"What?" Alex mumbled sleepily. Hazel looked at the words that had just appeared in the notebook.

"What the hell is going on?" She hissed, mostly to herself.

"No, no, Hazel. It's... WHAT THE DEVIL IS GOING ON HERRRRAH?" Alex grinned tiredly.

"Of course..." Hazel murmured, facepalming.

"This is so fucking cool." Alex grinned.

"Yeah..." Hazel forced a smile, looking worried. Alex turned to Itachi.

"You smell pretty." She said, grinning wider.

"So I've heard." Itachi sighed, rolling his eyes.

"You have?" Alex asked. Itachi's brow furrowed slightly.

"Obviously. You told me that twice yesterday." He replied.

"Yesterday?" Alex's eyebrows rose. Hazel bit her lip.

"This isn't good..." She mumbled, sitting down, leaning against some lockers and drawing her knees to her chest.

Hazel's POV

I didn't understand. How could someone be writing in the book? I always had it with me. Hell, I slept with the damn thing under my pillow. The only way someone could be interfering was if...

That was it. The only plausible explanation.

"Someone has the other book..." I murmured, shocked. Itachi and Alex looked at me in confusion. "The old book we lost a few weeks before we came here. That is the only way someone could be changing the story..." I took a calming breath. The situation wasn't helping my anxiety issues. "Someone in our world is using the other book."

"So, what you mean is..." Itachi began. I sighed, letting my head fall forward so my forehead rested on my knees.

"We no longer have control over the story. We're almost completely at the mercy of whoever has the other book." I whispered, feeling slightly sick. There was no way of knowing who had the book, unless they told us, or they slipped up.

Basically, the situation could not get any worse.

Third Person POV

The three of them stayed silent for a moment, Itachi in thought, Alex in irritation and unexplained exhaustion, and Hazel in despair.

"What are you doing?" Sasuke asked as he approached, eyeing them all questioningly.

"None of your BUSIN-ASS, bitch." Alex snapped, glaring at him. Hazel didn't even look up, which slightly surprised Sasuke, not that he showed it. Itachi waved his younger brother off.

"Go back to class." He commanded. Sasuke scowled at him, but walked back into the classroom. Itachi walked over to Hazel and grasped her arm, pulling her to her feet in one fluid motion. Hazel, being the clumsy nerd she was, nearly fell on her face.

"What are you-" Itachi cut off the brunette.

"You implied that the older notebook that you lost has more power than your current notebook. Why is that?" He asked, his eyes intense. Hazel paused to collect her thoughts, looking to the side.

"Well, the notebooks have more power in our world." She stated. Alex nodded behind her.

"We tested it out shortly before we came here, with another story of ours." Alex explained, giggling at something Itachi didn't know.

"You see, back in our world, we could do literally anything we wanted. We could make it rain puppies and chocolate bars. Anything. Hell, we could make you and Deidara have-" Hazel broke off, her face turning red. Alex started snickering. "Uh... Well, we could do whatever the hell we want. But here, we are bound by the laws of the world."

"We can't do anything that is completely impossible." Alex added. "Such as make it rain puppies and chocolate bars."

"I see..." Itachi murmured, musingly.

"We can't make anyone do anything against their morals, will or," Alex paused to giggle, looking pointedly at Hazel. "sexuality. Such as make you and Deidara have sex." Itachi blinked, disgust flashing in his eyes. Hazel looked horrified and blushed again.

"Alex!" She squeaked. Her friend just grinned. Hazel sighed. "And we can't do anything that could result in our death, especially now."

"Why?" Itachi asked. Hazel and Alex exchanged a somber glance.

"If we died..." Alex began.

"Whoever has the other book would have complete control over the story. They could do irreparable damage." Hazel finished.

"So, if you die here, do you die in your world too?" Itachi enquired.

"Well... No." Alex said slowly. "We don't think so."

"We would get sent back to our world. I'm not sure what would happen after that..." Hazel expanded.

"But we would loose the notebook, and anyway of controlling the story." Alex concluded.

"I assume that the person who has the other notebook cannot kill you, then." Itachi stated. Hazel and Alex nodded.

"Correct. We're safe as long as we don't do something to get ourselves killed." Hazel said.

"Which will be easier said than done. Hazel can't even go down a flight of stairs without nearly killing herself." Alex snickered. Hazel glared at her. They were silent for a moment.

"I'll help you." Itachi said quietly. Both girls stared at him in shock.

"C-Come again?" Hazel asked.

"Well, it seems as though it would be in my best interest to help you, seeing as my fate literally rests in your hands. So I will help." Itachi explained. Hazel and Alex exchanged a glance. And then Alex grinned at Itachi.

"... Fucking sweet."

In An Unknown Place

Mystery Writer's POV

It looked like Hazel and Alex were getting a little too buddy-buddy with Itachi... I'd have to change that.

I grinned, in a slightly sadistic way. "I think a little betrayal is in order. I'll have to wait until the last moment though, or Hazel will figure it out."

Hazel. Damn it, that bitch was too observant for her own good, let alone mine. She had already figured out that I had the second book.

However, she did have a weakness. She was smart, but she was scared. It wouldn't take much to play up her anxiety. I'd soon have the girl hiding in a panic room.

And as for Alex, she was intelligent and she could be quite a force to be reckoned with, but it wasn't hard to find the evil inside her and rile it up. She would make a good villain in due time.

Yes, this would be quite easy indeed. They would rue the day they crossed me.

I picked up my pencil and began writing.

About Three in the Morning

Hazel and Alex's House

Itachi's POV

After my brief meeting with Pein, I was back at Hazel and Alex's small house. I ghosted through the halls, checking that the outside doors were locked. I paused at Alex's door.

She was fast asleep (although she seemed to be sleeping rather fitfully. A nightmare, maybe?), sprawled on her bed with the TV still on. I walked in silently and turned it off before walking back out and closing the door behind me.

I then continued my way to Hazel's room. A light was still on inside. I gently pushed open the door and peered in. Hazel sat at her desk. Her head rested on her arms, which were crossed on the desk. She appeared to be sleeping. I walked over to stand at her side, looking in the open notebook. The newest entry from the other writer said:

Hazel sighed, clenching her fists in anger. She knew that anything she wrote in her notebook now would not have effect unless the other writer wanted it to. She knew the other writer was toying with her. And she knew that she didn't have the skill to beat her new-found opponent. After all, Hazel just didn't win.

'That's right... I've never really won anything before, have I...? No... Maybe the other writer is right... I can't do this.' Hazel thought, hopelessly. Doubt and anxiety began to cloud her mind. It would be a long, sleepless night for her.

Then there was a short entry from Hazel.

Hazel sat at her desk, thinking about the other writer. It was late. Her eyelids slowly drifted closed, and despite what the other writer had wrote, she slept.

I sighed and carefully picked up Hazel, carrying her over to her bed and setting her down before throwing a blanket over her. Hazel curled up, frowning. I closed the notebook, turned off the light and gave her a final glance before closing the door.

Damn you, older brother instincts. Damn you.

Alex's POV

I continued to toss and turn relentlessly, my mind fogging up miraculously. No matter how much I tried, more and more events in my memory were slipping...

I appeared in a foggy clearing, alone.

"The fuck?" I wondered aloud, before trekking towards the north. Or... at least, I think it was north...

Fuck.

The fog was thickening, and it was getting harder and harder to see; even with my glasses on. Not good, not...good... Despite how much I teased her, and how much I insulted her, I really wished Hazel were with me at that moment. I was really starting to freak out.

"Okay Alex, don't panic... Don't panic... Think happy thoughts... Think happy thoughts... Th- mmm... Malfoy..." I stopped in my tracks, shutting my eyes and smiling goofily.

I felt much, much better.

When I opened my eyes again, I nearly fainted.

There, standing fifteen feet in front of me...

Was me.

We were identical, more or less except for the eyes. Her's flashed between grey and red every so often, but for the most part they stayed grey.

"I knew you'd come." The anti-me spoke, her voice a deadly whisper.

I couldn't help but snicker.

"That's what she said." I said to myself. I assumed a serious and defensive position; I didn't get my black belt for nothing. "But who the fuck are you, and what the fuck are you doing here!" I shouted.

The other me simply snickered, their eyes glinting red dangerously.

"Whoa... who crapped in your cornflakes?" They murmured, eerily. Their lips curled up into a sinister smirk.

My eyes narrowed in thought, before I gasped as realization dawned.

"You!" I hissed, pointing accusingly.

It all made sense now.

My doppelganger began to close in on me, and I stumbled back as fast as I could.

"You made a mistake coming here, and messing with my mind! The only people allowed to do that, are Hazel, and yaoi fanfiction writers! Bitch!" I shouted, continuing to back away from her. My back hit a brick wall, and I gaped at it.

When the fuck did that get there?

Well, it didn't matter... because I was screwed.

As the anti-me aimed a punch at me, I grabbed her fist and we engaged in a game of Mercy, trying to gain the upper hand. I aimed a kick to her thigh, but she knew all my moves and dodged it easily, any attempt would be fruitless...

"You'll never get away with this!" I screamed, glaring fiercely.

Oh great, now I sounded like a fucking cliché. What a way to go.

"Oh, but you're wrong Alex, as usual. Once I gain complete control over you, gaining control of the second notebook will be easy. And when that happens..." My "evil twin" trailed off, smirking.

All hell would break loose...

She landed a stunning punch to my face, and I tumbled to the ground, beaten.

Consciousness escaped me, and everything faded to black.

Alex: WHOA, THINGS ARE GETTING INTENSE!

Hazel: Indeed... Looks like we're screwed... Hey, L, you mind figuring out who the Other Writer is and arresting them?

L: Well, I already know who it is but... What would I arrest them for?

Hazel: Disturbing the peace?

Alex: Being a bitch?

Hazel: Theft and Trying to take over another world?

Alex: Making anti-me punch me in the face?

Hazel: Anything, really.

Alex: ANYTHING.

L: Sorry, can't help you. It would ruin the story.

Alex and Hazel: Fuck...
