Alrighty. I always told myself that I wouldn't be one of those authors that put a zillion authors' notes. But I keep feeling the need to justify myself. Which I've found myself doing a lot recently in other aspects of my life. So here's to hopefully being the last one… I deeply apologize about spelling and grammar. I even started using that handy spell check feature, and taking the changes, but sometimes they don't end up making sense and I haven't been rereading before posting…

Chapter 9: Realizing a Few Truths

After Emi caught up with Shio and Sayuri, she noticed something.

"Shio, where did those burns come from?" Emi asked. It took a second for Shio and Sayuri to catch on. " Sweety, I don't think you're bomb proof… I think we found your limit."

"What am I going to do? The person I'm roomed with is the one person that can destroy me… Can we trade?" Shio half pleaded. Emi raised a perfect eyebrow at her.

"Yes, of course. You can sleep in Itachi's room. And when you annoy him, he can use the Mangekyo Sharingan on you. Because, we already found one weakness, we don't need to find another." Emi pointed out. Sayuri started getting excited, so Emi checked around. Sure enough, like a police scanner, Sayuri had picked up on an Akatsuki member. Hidan of course.

"Listen, u stupid bitch. I gave you a direct order to face me in the training room today. Go now, or I'll kill you for the pleasure of it." Hidan demanded.

"Yes, Master Hidan, nyah!" Sayuri ran off. The look on his face was priceless. Much to Emi's relief, it appeared as though it was the first time she had called him master… Emi motioned to Shio to walk with her. As best friends from a young age, they often could tell what was going on in each other's minds. This was one of those times. They were both flabbergasted at how easy of a time Sayuri was getting , when they kept getting tested over and over again.

"I'm going to go challenge Kisame." Shio stated marching off.

"And I'm going to face Itachi." Emi said aloud. She decided she needed a wardrobe change first. So she went to the room. She changed into her Hello Kitty dress. To remind him of the teapot he so rudely broke. She then proceeded to make his bed. What kind of slob doesn't make his bed? Emi let her OCD take control for a moment. Just as she was about to walk out the door, it opened to reveal the man she was about to go find. Good now she can yell at him at the scene of both crimes. Itachi was silent as he went to his dresser. Feeling her eyes follow him, he turned around and looked at her. She was standing with her hands on her hips. And he could tell he was caught red handed.

"I realize that this is an organization of criminals, with a few exclusions. But that does not give you the right to just go through my stuff. I have things that are private. Which you saw of course. Have you no shame? You went through a woman's undergarments. And let's not get into the fact that you touched my…" Emi couldn't say the word. She was too embarrassed. Itachi was silent. This made her angry again.

"And THEN you had the audacity to look at me naked. You could have had the decency to say excuse me, I'm awake over here. But no. you got yourself a good eyeful, and left. Oh and I haven't forgotten about you destroying my teapot…" Emi fumed. And Itachi still said nothing. That was the final straw. "Say something damn it."

"Why? You know everything, right?" Itachi moved towards the door of the room but was cut off by the petite Lolita. "Move."

"Not until you tell me why you didn't say anything, or apologize or something." Emi pouted. And then another thought crossed her mind. "Am I not attractive to you?"

Itachi was seriously confused. One second she's angry, the next she's about to cry. Women are crazy. The longer he was silent, the more tears formed in her eyes, until they finally began to spill. She turned away from him to hide her face. The sniffles became louder, and her shoulders began shaking. So Itachi decided to knock her out. Only when he turned her around to use his sharingan, and saw the hurt look in her aqua blue eyes, he kissed her. Itachi watched her eyes drift closed, and pulled away. Satisfied, he made towards the door again, only to be pushed against it. Emi kissed Itachi forcefully, locking her hands into his long black hair. She pressed up against him, and he could feel her breasts. Itachi lifted Emi up, and she wrapped her legs around his waist. The kiss became more intense. Itachi's hands inched up her thighs, toward her ass. Suddenly Emi pulled away. She unwrapped herself from Itachi's body and stepped back.

"If you think you are going to get in my panties just like that then you are sadly mistaken." Emi said before marching out the door.
