I know it's been a really long time since I updated and I hope the wait was worth it. So please read, review and enjoy!

I Blame You- Evans Blue

All of the hurt

With all of your words, you chose to

Never be heard again

All of the hate

With all I would trade, I chose to

Carry this weight again

Ed, Itachi, Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, and even Shikamaru sat in Shikaku's office with their heads hung in guilt.

"What were you thinking?"

He sighed angrily, pointing at the members of Team 7. Then turned angry eyes to Itachi and Ed.

"And you two. If Tsunade hears about this we're all screwed. If my wife finds out about this we're screwed."

He turned and paced back in forth in front of the group of quiet teens. Then paused to breath heavily for a few seconds. He seemed to have regained his normal level headedness as he turned back to the teens.

"Team 7 this is your mess. Is Kakashi awake yet?"

He asked. Sakura piped up at that.

"He regained consciousness early this morning. That's how Sasuke found out about Itachi being here. Asuma was talking to him and he overheard the whole conversation."

Sasuke shot her a look that could kill, and Naruto tried not to laugh.

"I see. Drag his ass out of bed and bring him here. I need you three to fix my house."

He indicated with his arm to behind them when the hallway that led to the destroyed room resided.

"Then why do you need Kakashi?"

Sasuke asked. As if the whole thing wasn't his fault in the first place.

"Because I'm not allowed to leave these two alone. And I'm sure my wife is going to demand I remove them from our home."

Sasuke hung his head for a moment and nodded mutely. As if on cue there was a house rattling bang as the front door closed and a shout of-

"SHIKAKU!"

Resounded shortly after. The older ninja cringed and left the room with a pointed glare at the Uchiha's sitting in front of him. Ed found it funny that the two of them had the same reaction without even realizing it. The two of them both looked to the side, away from anyone else in the room and avoiding looking at, and ignoring any glances they got. It was so ironic Ed almost laughed. Too bad he was trying not to seem like his normal crazy self at the moment. Cause under any other circumstance he would have laughed.

There was a lot of yelling none of them tried to decipher and then a very worn out Shikaku returned to the room.

"Go. Hurry up. Take the S-Classes with you. She is already sending a message to Lady Tsunade about having them removed from our care."

They all got up without a peep, even Shikamaru.

"You aren't going anywhere Shikamaru."

His dad dead panned. His eyes dark and serious.

"You're not leaving me alone with that crazy woman now."

Shikaku looked like he would tie his son up if he attempted escape, so Shikamaru sighed and sat back down.

"This is such a drag."

He rested his head on the back of the chair, with his eyes closed. That's how the rest of them left him as they headed to their separate destinations. Sakura, and Sasuke when to get supplies to fix the hole in the Nara family's roof. While Naruto led Itachi and Ed to the hospital, where they found Kakashi sitting up in bed, reading a little orange book.

The copy nin looked surprised to see the two S-Class criminals in his room.

"Well I didn't think you would convince my students to assassinate me so soon truthfully."

He said with no hint of humor in his voice. Naruto practically rolled his eyes at his sensei's lack of trust in them.

"No baka."

He ground out in his usual overly loud voice.

"I brought them here because Sasuke, that bastard went and wreck Shikamaru's place and got them kicked out. By his mom."

Naruto visibly shivered.

"Makes me almost glad not to have one."

Naruto joked. Ed and Itachi seemed to have the same reaction to the younger boys comment. Sympathy. They both knew what it was like. And then they couldn't help but remember how they themselves had lost their own mother.

"Hmm you don't say."

Kakashi said as he closed his book and looked at the surprisingly well behaved dangerous teens.

"For a pair of Akatsuki I expected you to have to be knocked out and put in straight jackets."

"Been there."

Ed said with a grin.

"They figured it would be futile to try restraining us a second time."

Itachi finished with his usual seriousness. There was a smirk at the end of his sentence that let Kakashi know the two teens had been more trouble than they were worth.

"I see."

Kakashi ran a hand through his gravity defining hair.

"So I'm guessing Shikaku is dumping the S-Classes on me then."

He pointed to the two of them but talked to Naruto.

"I don't see how that is a bad thing."

Itachi said in an almost offended tone. Ed snickered next to the black haired ninja and Kakashi rolled his eyes.

"Why Naruto, why would you actually bring them to me?"

He asked in a pleading voice.

"I didn't want to have to let them stay at my place. I barely fit in there, and you have the best chance of containing them."

He finished with a giant grin, and Kakashi threw his book at Naruto's head. The blonde went wide eyed and barely dodged the reading material turned weapon.

Instead it hit Ed square in the face.

"What the hell!"

He yelled as he looked down hatefully to the book and then proceeded to stomp on the orange book.

"No!"

Kakashi yelled and jumped out of bed to tackle the blonde before he could continue. Ed rolled away from the copy ninja.

"Kakashi sempia."

Itachi called calmly. His call went ignored as the two continued to fight over the book.

"I think it's pointless."

Naruto commented as he moved closer to Itachi so he was out of the way of the other two. Itachi nodded and then walked over to Ed.

"You're going to get yourself thrown back in jail."

He said calmly. Ed froze right as he was about to kick Kakashi in the ribs.

"Yeah you're-"

He was cut off by Kakashi punching him. The action caused the blonde to run into Itachi who glared at the two of them.

"I don't see the point in attacking me when you are the ones fighting like children."

Itachi growled out. Kakashi laughed nervously and stopped attacking completely.

"Right. Well like I was saying I'm in no condition to watch over them yet."

He coughed and Naruto went red with anger.

"You were just fighting with that guy! And you're saying you can't watch them?"

Kakashi nodded as he crawled back into bed. He pressed a button on the remote attacked to his bed and a few seconds later a nurse walked in. He faked being weak and injured.

"Are you alright Hataka-san?"

She asked in a concerned voice. Naruto could tell she was a new nurse. Obviously one that didn't know Kakashi was the best faker in the whole hospital.

"No. These three punks are disturbing me."

The woman turned on the three innocent teens, and the next thing they knew they were all on their asses outside the front doors of the hospital.

"How did this even happen?"

Naruto groaned as he stood up. Itachi had already gotten to his feet, and seemed unfazed by the whole thing, while Ed looked like he might start spitting fire with how angry he was.

"Perhaps we should go see the Hokage."

Itachi offered up. Naruto thought about it for a moment then shook his head.

"What? Why am I listening to an S-Class criminal like you anyway?"

He tried to stand up as tall and threatening as he could and still came up way shorter than the other two.

"Because you don't know what else to do."

Ed added.

"Yeah well maybe I don't want to go see that old bat yet!"

Naruto continued to yell and soon the three of them attracted unwanted attention. Some off duty ninja walked by and one of them froze. Itachi noticed them and turned his back to them. It was a futile attempt at not being spotted.

"Naruto."

He said in a whispered voice. The blonde was arguing with Ed about something and ignored Itachi.

"Naruto."

He said a little more urgently as the three men started to walk over to them.

"What!"

Naruto yelled as he turned to look at Itachi, he stopped abruptly when he saw the three men walking over to them as well.

"Oh shit."

He whispered.

"Act like everything is normal. Their just coming over here to mess with me."

Naruto moved to where he was standing behind Itachi, but in front of the approaching men.

"Hey Naruto."

The one in the middle, the obvious leader called. Naruto forced a smile and Itachi didn't have to see the younger teens face to know he was feeling nervous.

"Stop being so damn annoying in broad daylight and leave those two alone."

The words were nothing like the fake cheer he had used when he approached them. There was a twinge of anger, and both Itachi and Ed heard the definite hate in his words.

"I wasn't annoying anyone but you."

Naruto said hotheadedly. The man rushed and grabbed Naruto by his shirt bringing the blonde teen a couple of inches off the ground.

"Yeah well I'm sure the guys behind me and you would disagree."

"Maybe."

Naruto said softly. Itachi was instantly pissed off. There was someone in the village he had given so much up for threatening a child. Even if it was Naruto, who was annoying, and the Kyuubi vessel. It was still so wrong and twisted it made his blood boil.

Once glance to a silently pissed off Ed told him he wasn't alone in thinking this.

"I have something to do right now so can this wait till later?"

Naruto said in a uncharacteristically emotionless voice. Ed must have seen something Itachi couldn't with his back turned and moved to grabbed the man with his metal arm.

"Ah!"

The man cried as his wrist was nearly crushed in the mechanical death grip.

"I don't like the way you're treating my escort."

Ed said in a deadly tone. The man glared and let go of Naruto.

"Who the hell are you?"

He asked blonde angrily. Ed smiled sinisterly as he tightened his grip on the man's wrist.

"Edward Elric."

With that said Itachi turned around and faced the man Ed had captured. There was a moment where everything seemed to freeze as the three men realized who had been standing behind Naruto.

"I-i-itachi U-uchi-uchiha!"

The one in Ed's grip screamed very unmanly like and nearly broke his own wrist to escape. Ed watched for a second as they ran away and then he and Naruto broke out laughing.

"Oh wow I've never seen them run that fast!"

Naruto wheezed out in between laughs.

"I mean there was this one time with Kakashi sensei but man nothing like that. Did you see their faces?"

He asked Ed. The Alchemist who was still laughing as well nodded, since he found talking impossible at the moment. Itachi watched them with an amused smile on his face. It had been a long time that someone was glad he was around. Other than Kisame people usual had the pervious reaction to him. Never before had they been happy, even laughing in his presence.

Well there was that one manic who laughed, but he didn't live that long.

Naruto and Ed finally calmed down and Naruto looked to Itachi who was still smiling silently to himself.

"I should take you to someone higher up. Just so we don't get into any trouble with those old people on the council."

Itachi nodded.

"Probably a good idea."

Naruto sighed, and Ed hit him on the shoulder.

"Too bad we can't just stay walking around like this. Can't you just call those other two and the three of you can make one higher ranked person?"

Itachi shook his head.

"Three genin don't make up for one jonin, or chunin. If they did we wouldn't have a need for higher ranked nin."

Ed glared halfheartedly at Itachi.

"No need to be such a bastard about it."

Naruto's face lit up and it was one of those moments where you could see the light bulb above their heads.

"I know who I'm taking you to now!"

He shouts excitedly. The two older teens look down at the suddenly laughing blonde.

"Who?"

Itachi asked almost worriedly.

"Iruka sensei."
