im so happy! this story has reached 10 chapters to! um, im willing to take sigestions for this story to. if anyone has any I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE THEM!!!!!!!

and to my beta ^ ^ i'll tell you, i would NOT have made it this far with out you.

I starred at Itachi. He wasn't moving....

He stared at me.

And we just stood there, him in the living room of his house, me on the sidewalk outside his gate. Just watching each other. His face looked disturbed. I knew mine looked puzzled, I was confused.

'It's time to go, why aren't you moving?' I thought. 'How stupid.' and kept walking, Sasuke staying close to my side, talking in Japanese. I ignored him. Too early to get a head ache over him.

I looked back as I walked on. Itachi decided to keep moving now that I was gone. What's up with him? Sasuke tapped me on the shoulder and I looked down at him.

"What?"

He said something I, again, didn't understand.

" Yeah, whatever..."

He knows I don't understand him without his brother. I don't know why he keeps trying to talk to me. I stopped and grabbed his shirt to keep him from going anywhere. I dug around in my bag until I found my little red book. My teacher had brought this for me just before I left the states. I searched in the little book for a couple words I could use to form a sentence.

"Wakaarimasen. Urusai!"

I thought it was good enough..... I simply told him I don't understand and to shut up..... I'd have to touch up on my Japanese... that sounding nothing like a Japanese person would say it. At all.

Sasuke's face went blank and in a monotone voice he answered:

"Hai."

I glared at Itachi who was still behind us. I looked rate at him and said: "Stupid.... I don't understand men at all." And kept walking. The brothers were really starting to piss me off.

I'd gotten to school before the Uchiha's as they decided not to walk with me today. I could understand. I get pissy in the mornings. Was I going to apologize? No.

Hellz no.


"Baby are you down, down, down, down, down?"

"Down."

"Even if the sky is fallen' down."

I looked round as my back pocket vibrated. I dug my phone out the boxes in my room, that's right.... who's calling me this early in the morning?

"Hello?" I answered sourly.

"Kate!"

"Alex... wha? I'm in school!" Well... almost...I'm not in the mood for this idiot either...

"Sorry, but I called to ask you a question."

"What?"

"What would you do if I told you I had a plain ticket to Tokyo, Japan?"

"Call you a liar. You don't have money and your mother wouldn't fund that. "

"..... I didn't think you'd catch on..." I shook my head. The New York men were just a stupid as the Japanese men.

"Ok... I got to go. Bye." and I hung up. What a useless call. I shut my phone off and entered the school.

I went to all my classes. I had a fairly normal day. No trouble. Nothing out of the ordinary. I went home and get in my pajamas and made tea.

.....I'd have to get my father to buy us a computer. One Not in Japanese.... I'm starting to get rely sick of that word....

Our home phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey.... uh.... what's up?"

"Not much...."

It was Hidan... I hadn't talked to him since the church incident and was trying to avoid him.

"Um..... do you.... are you busy later?"

"Um… Yeah. Yeah I am, my dad and I are going out to eat." I lied.... I couldn't help it.

"Oh…Ok..." and the phone went dead. I hung it up and looked over at the clock. I just decided I'm not going to school tomorrow and that was that.

I tapped my fingers on my leg.

Itachi's pissed at me…for some reason

Sasuke's pissed at me

I don't like Deidara or Sasori...

I do not want to see Hidan right now...

Home sure was boring when no one was there was no one here. I can't watch TV, I don't understand it, I don't have any one to talk to....

A movie?

No. Again. Can't understand it.

"......."

I sighed and walked up to my room. I might as well fix this up. Its been over a month....

I pulled open a box. My CD collection. I needed something to put this on....

Sighing I went down the stairs once again and got the little shelf my dad had got from my grandma that was currently in the basement. This would do just fine. Despite how little the shelf was you wouldn't believe how hard it was to get up two flights of stairs.

Anyways....

I put my stereo on top of the shelf and my CDs on the shelves....they took up all three....

I layed the clicker in an orderly fashion next to the stereo and threw the boxes out into the hall way. I set up the air mattress up as a bed and moved all the boxes onto one side of the room instead of all over.

Facepalm.

I'd found some stuff I had when I was little and carried that out to the hall closet. Other things in the boxes consisted of clothes, a DVD player, movies and a small TV.

I looked out the window, it was getting dark. Sighing I went down stairs. The phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Are you mad at me for some reason?"

Hidan again....

"If you're gonna be a bitch and not tell me then hang up."

"Hidan, I'm not mad at you..." I was a good liar. But I really couldn't tell if he was believing me or not.

"Is this about when you ran out? I thought you wanted to go with me?"

"I did. But that was.....Don't you think that was kinda insane?" I asked, and instantly I regretted asking him that question.

"HELL NO!!! What's the matter with you?!? Don't you have any tolerance at all?!"

"...Hidan...really? We're really going to play games? You really think that a man stabbing himself is normal?! Really? In the US they'd take you to an insane asylum and put you on suicide watch."

"That's your god damned problem!"

And he hung up.

....My feeling were a little hurt...but...there really wasn't anything I could do.

Sighing I went up to bed and laid down. Back to the miserable life style I lead back in New York.
