Thanks to anonymous reviewers kemia, Niguisi, Tatiana, xkakashiloverx, ., and kawaii deidei chan for reviewing!
Special thanks to .chie.x.sieka. For the advice!
I am very sorry for the very long update… I have been lazy (Reason number 1), watching Bleach with my sis, and watching Vidooru and Gackt videos on YouTube.
This chapter is edited, only a few little things though... I forgot to put Chapter Eight in the beginning and forgot a 'T' in SHATTERED (Thanks, la pinay!)

Chapter Eight
The girls didn't talk at all; they were eaten away by nervousness. They were sitting in the auditorium and the hosts plus Itachi are discussing about the elimination inside a room inside the auditorium. Oh yeah, Sasuke refused to go home to the castle because he's found an excitement here, so he stays here until the selection's over.
---
"So, Itachi-san, who will you eliminate?" Tsunade asked, beginning the discussion.
"I don't know."
"What? You're the final decision and you don't know?"
"What about you?" Itachi asked back.
"I'd say Sakura."
"Why pick her?"
"She's beside you all the time, come to think of it, it's rather cheating you know. You only talk to her and ignore all the other girls."
"She's my slave because of my orders, not because she wanted it. If she wants to be one I'd say the same as you do." Itachi said, resting his cheek on his palm.
"Okay then, clear enough. Jiraiya, Orochimaru, any suggestions?"
"I say Sakiko." Orochimaru said.
"I say Mitsuru." Jiraiya said.
"Itachi-san? What's your choice?" Tsunade asked Itachi after hearing the other's suggestions.
"Ah whatever, I don't know who I am going to eliminate, so I'll use lottery." He said, pulling out five pieces of small colored papers.
"I-Itachi-san!"
Itachi began placing his fingers on each of the colored paper repeatedly (like lottery) until he stopped at… a thin paper with the handwriting リカ (Rika).
---
"Okay, I'm going to announce who is going to pass and who will be eliminated." She started.
"Passers are…"
"Haruno Sakura."
"Shirou Mitsuru."
"Satsuma Rinka."
"Hatsune Sakiko."
"Whose name I did not call, please return to your room and pack your belongings."
Rika nodded and exited the room. The remaining four girls stared at her back before focusing their eyes on the host on stage again.
"Okay, so… since the first test's elimination is done, let me announce what the next test's about." She said calmly, holding a piece of paper, which contains a script about the second test.
"Okay, the next test is about…PFFT!" Tsunade refrained herself from laughing out loud.
Orochimaru and Itachi looked at Tsunade in confusion, while Jiraiya grinned. This is Jiraiya's turn to make the tests. Last one was Tsunade's.
After finally able to regain her composure, she said, "Testing your bravery."
The girls, of course did not understand what she meant. "Judging by your confused faces, I know all of you are unable to figure what I mean. Don't worry, I won't make games, I'll just tell it straight." Tsunade said smiling mischievously.
"It's about DARE!"
"Huh?"
"We have two topics here, one is HUMILIATING and SEDUCE."
All sweat dropped.
"And you girls must try to do those two to Itachi."
Itachi's eyes grew wide immediately for a split second before giving the male hosts a very scary and intimidating death glare. This sent Jiraiya the shivers down his spine, plus a nervous laugh while Orochimaru just gave a look saying "That's not my fault". And what about Sasuke?
He's currently trying his best to refrain from laughing too loud, but it results him in tears.
"WHAAT?" The girls shouted.
"Well, the maker here has some kind of objective, but I'm not going to tell you guys.
"But he'll hate us!" Sakiko whined.
"Well he knows who the question maker is, and he'll blame the question maker, not you." Tsunade smiled reassuringly.
Sakiko nodded. Meanwhile, Jiraiya is shivering nonstop, trembling nonstop, cold sweating nonstop and laughing nervously nonstop thanks to Itachi's killing intent filled death glare.
"For day eight until ten, try anything that might humiliate Itachi-san, and for day eleven until thirteen, try SEDUCING him!"
Itachi's death glare became more intense, making Jiraiya's nerve systems send shivers down and up his spine.
"You may try every morning after breakfast, and also you can do a maximum of one try to humiliate him for day eight until ten."
The girls nodded, and Tsunade gestured them to dismiss. And so, the girls exited the room while the hosts are still inside. Who knows what might happen to Jiraiya?
'Kekekekeke, the theme is just perfect! Oh how I wanted to see that humiliated blushing face of his… that's once in a lifetime moment!' Sakura thought evilly.
'What? What kind of theme is this? Humiliate Itachi-sama? NOOO! YOU MUSTN'T, OUTER SELF!' Inner Sakura said, acting like a crying old woman begging for mercy.
'Mustn't? You can't beg me, because I'm going to do it! Kekekekek…'
'NOOO… You evil spirit! I SHALL EXORCISE YOU AND TAKE OVERRRR YOUUU…' Inner Sakura threatened her outer self, but was ignored. Perhaps Sakura knew it is impossible for Inner Sakura to take over her spirit?
---
How is Jiraiya? Is he alive and good?
Unfortunately, not…
SMACK! BAM! HYUSH!
ACK! OUGH! HYUK!
"AA! Stop! Have mercy, Itachi-san! I am just going to test the girls—OUCH! if they are the kind of girls who just follow you and can't stand for themselves or have their own opinion—OWWIE! So I decided to see if they are playful or just an annoying fan girl—OUCHHH!" Jiraiya tried to convince Itachi, but he was totally ignored and it only resulted in more torture for him.
Itachi didn't plan on giving the perverted old man any mercy. He kept on kicking him like he's a football, punching him like he's a punching bag, elbowing him and thrashing him madly like there's no tomorrow as a release, and revenge.
"Come on, stop Itachi-san. What's done is done, besides, it's better having a wife who doesn't always expect romance from you… A little fun is better! Tsunade said, patting Itachi's shoulders.
"Think of it brother, she's got a point." Sasuke said, smirking.
"Fine" He said, and exited the room.
"Perhaps I was too hard?"
"Nope, it's okay." Sasuke said.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
---
'Darn old lecher, what's with him, making ideas like this…?' Itachi thought as he rested his body on the garden grounds.
"Hey." Sakura suddenly appeared, poking his forehead.
"What?" He asked.
"How come you accept that to be the theme?"
"That darned old lecher decided it himself."
"Are you sure?" She asked teasing him.
"Shut up woman."
"Okay, okay. By the way, if it's my turn, be ready because I won't care what people would say…" She said, leaving a mischievous grin before walking away.
"What's she planning?" Itachi sat, looking at her fading back with narrowed eyes.
---
Sakiko was walking with Mitsuru and Rinka towards their rooms. Sakiko remembered what they had to do for the second test and grumbled.
"Man, this theme is surely confusing! If we are the candidates then why should we do this?" Sakiko complained.
"Yeah, that's just plain strange. I wonder what the hosts are thinking by making this kind of test…" Mitsuru said.
---
"Jiraiya" Orochimaru called.
"Y-Yeah…"
"Oh, you're alive."
"ACHOO! Ow! My bruise hurts!"
"Don't move, stupid! How come you sneeze?" Tsunade said, rubbing bruise-healing creams on him.
"I don't know."
---
"Well, I don't know but maybe the host who makes this test is pretty beaten up right now." Sakiko said.
"Why?" Mitsuru asked.
"Well, imagine if you were Itachi-san. If I were him I would find who the maker is and beat him up like hell for… anger release maybe?"
"Now that you mention it, I guess you're right."
"Yeah, I agree too." Rinka said.
---
"ACHOO!" Jiraiya sneezed again.
"Man, I think you're getting a cold, Jiraiya." Orochimaru said, sighing.
"No! I'm sure— OWWIE!" He said, turning to Orochimaru before being slapped.
"Stay still dumbass!"
"S-Sorry" Jiraiya said, and stayed quiet as Tsunade rubbed medicine on his bruises.
---
So far, only Sakura is able to think of a plan for the next morning. The other girls, being a fan of Itachi, would not really be able to think up one. Sakura is currently writing her plans in a book secretively, since she is still staying inside his room.
Itachi is currently reading Icha-Icha Paradise but when he took a glimpse of the woman writing on his desk, he has a bad feeling of what is going to happen to him next morning. No, perhaps every morning is a better word.
"What are you doing?" Itachi asked, curious with her constant small evil laughs.
"S-E-C-R-E-T! Ehehehehe…" Sakura said, still not being able to conceal her evil thoughts.
"Reveal."
"No way in hell! You'll find out soon enough, like tomorrow mo— never mind!" she said before she disappeared from the room in a zap.
---
"Phew. He almost found out."
"Found what?" Sasuke suddenly appeared behind her. He was just about to get some snacks from the dining room.
"KYAAAA!"
"Surprised?"
"You nearly made my heart pop out from its place!"
"What's with that book?" Sasuke asked, ignoring her protest.
"N-Nothing!" She said, slowly walking away.
"Just tell me. I'm not with any side."
"But you'll tell Itachi—"
"Hmm?"
"No-nothing! Nothing really important, I assure you! Ehe-he-heh…"
"?"
"I'll see you later!" She said as she headed to the gate.
"The gate? What's she doing there?"
---
Nothing much happened until dinner, and things went normally until next morning…
---
When Sakura stretched her arms wide open in the morning, she just can't help but feel excited until after breakfast… where the second test will start!
Sakura took a quick shower and then read her strategy book again. Itachi had just woken up when she finished showering.
"What time is it now?" He asked drowsily.
"Let's see, five AM!" She chirped.
"You get up so damn early."
"Well… I was excited today, so…"
"After breakfast is what you want, huh?" He asked with narrowed eyes.
"Smart boy you are." She replied with a sarcastic grin.
---
Breakfast (Day 8)
The only excited contestant here is our pink-haired little girl, whilst the others are eating with a gloomy face. Itachi, too is currently in a gloomy mood, thanks to our old perverted author, who is absent for breakfast because he's afraid he'll get more punches and kicks.
---
The one who will judge is Itachi himself, so the hosts' part in this is just sort out who goes first until the last. The test will take place in an empty guest room. Sasuke, of course wanted to see that humiliated face of Itachi, since that is quite a rare moment, perhaps only once in a lifetime moment.
"Remember, do one. If you wish to forfeit, that's fine with me but I advise you should think it over again before forfeiting. After you are finished, you may sit on the chairs prepared. Oh yeah, before I forget, if Itachi-san finds out about your plan, he may as well counter it."
The girls nodded in understanding, and then Tsunade gestured Itachi to go sit and wait.
---
Tsunade uses lottery to decide who goes first. Each girl takes a paper from a box, and the paper will reveal when your turn is.
Sakiko got number one, Mitsuru got number three; Rinka got number two and Sakura number four. Tsunade then writes the list on her clipboard.
"Okay Sakiko, I hope you do your best."
"Y-Yes."
---
Itachi just sat on the sofa, waiting for Sakiko to make her move. She seemed to be nervous, and also hesitating because this kind of test is unusual.
Sakiko kept on holding her head as if she had a terrible headache before finally approaching him. She decided to either walk to behind Itachi and push the sofa down with all her might, or perhaps pour a basket full of water from the toilet.
"Decide fast what you want to do." He snapped her.
"Ah—y-yes! Of course…!" She said, heading to the toilet.
"Obvious." Sasuke chuckled.
"Huh? Why?" Sakura, who was standing next to him asked why.
"She'd throw a basket of water, or maybe shampoo, liquid soaps or anything that exists in the bathroom. And it doesn't look like she has many choices in mind, looking from her personality."
"I never knew you were so good at analyzing."
"You're so naïve, pinky." Sasuke sighed.
POP
"Don't call me that!" She whispered to him, not wanting to make a scene by shouting.
Sakiko finally came out and threw water on him instantly. Itachi knew this and he just stayed quiet when he was soaking wet.
"A child's trick you play. I wouldn't be humiliated by just that. Who's next?"
Sakiko gaped but her expression quickly changed to a frown before rushing to the prepared seats near the door. Tsunade handed Itachi a towel before picking up her clipboard to see who'll be next.
"I hope you do your best, Rinka!"
She managed to say a muffled 'Thank you' to her, before she stood in front of Itachi. This time she is really confused, she doesn't know what to do to be able to humiliate him. Also, Itachi is extremely smart and also calm.
'I knew the girls wouldn't be able to. So this is what that old lecher wants huh? He's pretty smart for an old man like him.' Itachi thought.
A minute passed and Rinka still stayed silent. Itachi sighed.
"Do you want to forfeit or continue?"
"I-I'll forfeit…" She finally said. "Okay then, please sit down and wait." Tsunade said, showing her the chairs. "Now Mitsuru, I hope you'll do good."
"Th-thanks."
Mitsuru at least prepared some complicated riddles, hoping that Itachi would be confused in answering them.
"So Itachi-san, can you answer these riddles?" She asked, handing over a paper with her handwriting and a pencil.
1. Solve these anagrams:
STTHRRDEAE
TSCKBOOHEK
RECHAMENTS
2. DEVIL is as LIVED, and 3659 is as…
3.13, 27, 55, 111, 223?
The next number is…
Mitsuru waited patiently while Itachi thinks about the answer. Itachi, with his genius mind filled in all the answersand gave it to Mitsuru. She took the paper and she gasped in surprise when she saw all the answers were correct.
1. Solve these anagrams:
STTHRRDEAE SHATTERED
TSCKBOOHEK SKETCHBOOK
RECHAMENTS MANCHESTER
2. DEVIL is as LIVED, and 3659 is as… 9563
3.13, 27, 55, 111, 223?
The next number is… 447
"I-Impressive, Itachi-san, you got it all correct."
"Alright then Mitsuru, please sit down." Tsunade said. "And the last is Sakura. I hope you do your best." Tsunade smiled at her. "Sure, thanks."
"Okay then, LOOKIE HERE WHAT I'VE GOT FOR YOU., I-TA-CHI!" Sakura said playfully, showing a big pornographic poster picturing a man and woman making love right in front of Itachi's eyes. "HEHE… Will you be able to stand this?"
"You want to humiliate me with porn? That won't have any effect on me." Itachi said.
"Are you sure? Well then how about this?" She gave him a big poster of a woman masturbating herself. This moved him a little, but he's still able to keep his composure.
"Want another?" Sakura teased, revealed another hot picture of a girl doing a blowjob.
'Darn her…' Itachi thought, trying his best to keep calm. 'And where did she get all these pictures from?'
"Are you wondering how I got these pictures? Of course I got it from someone."
"Whatever."
"Okay then, my last resort!" Sakura said, pulling out a handy cam and inserted a cassette into it. "Here you go! Enjoy your watch!"
Itachi held the handy cam and pressed the Play button. It contains an erotic video. "I borrowed this video from someone special for this test, Itachi-san."
"So that's why she went towards the gate yesterday." Sasuke mumbled to himself.
The erotic sounds did make some effect to Itachi, although not completely. After a few minutes, Sakura's grin turned into a frown. "Man, you're not affected? I guess there's always next time." Sakura said and gathered her posters and handy cam.
"Okay, so I suppose Itachi-san managed to withstand all the girls' plan. Let's see if all of you can do better tomorrow!"
"I didn't think you'd be able to stand all that." Sasuke teased his older brother.
"Well actually, I am pretty aroused myself, but I am good enough to be able to control myself."
"Unluckily, that pink-haired girl wasn't able to make you lose control."
"Hn."

Writer's block that hit me is totally huge… sorry about that. Tomorrow I'll begin school, so I think I'll just update it now…
The word SKETCHBOOK was put on one of Mitsuru's riddles, cause Sketch book is my favorite thing... ehehehe...
Anyways, please review! Thanks!
