Kat-chan: Oh it was *evil smirk* But, I like this one better now...

(NOW EDITED)
NARUTO'S POV徐砂から
"Mhmm, and then the teme smiled... he actually smiled!" I chirped excitedly to Gaara, filling him in. Gaara raised an eye brow at me, but continued walking. Gaara, me, and the teme are currently walking to school, together. We decided since all of us missed school yesterday, we might as well go together, and say we went to a concert together. Sai hasn't come back to the Uchiha mansion since he took Haku, and Zabuza to the airport. He probably just drove them all the way home because he's a dumb ass. I chuckled silently to myself, the concert will be totally believable too, Fugaku-san, and my Okaa-san asked a friend for a favor, so we have an alibi, meaning tickets, and 'witnesses'. Because we totally broke the law. Okay... maybe a little.
"Dobe, I think you were seeing things, like usual." I glanced at Sasuke who was to my left, he was looking at me, with his usual glare. I crossed my arms, and puffed out my cheeks.
"Nuh uh, you smiled at Yuki." I said firmly, "I know for a fact because, you looked way better, than when you smirk, or glare." Sasuke raised an eye brow at me, and opened his mouth to say something. I blushed, and quickly beat him to it. "Er, I mean th-that's uh, what Yuki said." I laughed dryly, and scratched the back of my head.
"Naruto-kun, I believe you just gave yourself away." I looked at Gaara, and opened my mouth to yell 'how', but Gaara, cut me off. "Every time you scratch the back of your head, it signals you're nervous or embarrassed about something." I gaped
"Bu-but, now way." Curiosity killed the... erm, Naruto? "How do you know?" I crossed my arms again.
"Because, it's easy to observe you. You blushed when Sasuke-kun looked at you, after you gave him a complement, per say, and then immediately after realizing you gave him a complement you denied it, and then scratched your head." I blushed again, and puffed out my cheeks, but Gaara wasn't done. "And that." He gestured to me. "Every time you cross your arms, you are usually being defensive." I scowled at the ground, when Sasuke started chuckling at me.
"Dobe, he's not lying, you 're an open book with your emotions."
"Don't call me dobe... teme, and I'm not an open book, I'm just expressive." I said sticky my nose is the air, and 'hmped'. I heard more chuckling, on both sides of me,I looked from left and right, seeing pale Adonis' laughing, and blushed again. "What's so funny?" More laughing. "Come on, seriously, what's so funny?" Still more laughing. I growled and began walking faster, seeing the school right in front of me.
I entered the school, and heard Sasuke, and Gaara, both abruptly stop laughing. I guess neither of them didn't want to ruin their reputation, Sasuke's 'I'm an emotionless bastard, come near me, and suffer my glare', and Gaara's 'I'll fucking kill you if you take one step closer', reputation. I shuddered, and continued on my way toward Kakashi's classroom. I remember the way still, it isn't that hard, even though so much has happened in the past few days. I slid open the door, just in time to run into Kakashi.
"Ah, Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara." He nodded at all of us, but eyed me in particular. "Glad you could make it, today."
"Thanks, sensei!" I said loudly, Kakashi, stepped to the side to let us in, and then walked out of the classroom, pulling out his book.
I walked over to my seat, remembering Sasuke sat behind me, and smiled, glad I still wasn't being separated from him.
"Naruto! Dude!" I glanced up, after I set my bag down on my desk. Kiba was running over, quite clumsily, nearly tripping over every chair. I laughed, when he fell face first right by my feet.
"Hey." I said, still laughing, and reached my hand down to help him up. He grabbed on, and I pulled him up. He glared at me, I assume for laughing, but then he seemed to think better of it when I laughed harder. "You-you're clumsier, th-than me." I said, between breaths.
"Yeah, yeah." He said waving his hands, to dismiss it "But, better yet, where were you guys yesterday?" He said to me, but was including Sasuke.
"We went to a concert." I said, and shrugged as if it was no big deal.
Kiba gasped, and looked at me like he was hurt. "Who'd you go see?" He said it hesitantly. Oh crap! I forgot, I forgot, shit, shit, shit.
"Uh." I said thinking. Damn, damn, me and my stupidness, then I brightened up.
'Kyuu! What was the band we went to see? I forgot, wasn't it like Linkin Pa- no no, erm, Three Da- Bullet for-... what was it?'
'I knew you'd forget. It was Three Days Grace, they were touring, and you missed the show in Tokyo, so you went to Kyushu to see them.'
'Oh yeah, I love Three Days Grace, how'd I forget?'
Instead of answering, Kyuubi just laughed, and mentally flicked me with his tail. I mentally stuck my tongue out at him, and looked at Kiba, about to say it, but he was looking at Gaara incredulously. Neji had just walked up too, and his expression was between horror, surprise, hurt, and anger. Kiba turned to me.
"So, you Sasuke, and Gaara all went to a Three Days Grace concert?" I nodded. Kiba grabbed me by the shoulders, and began shaking me. "AND YOU FORGOT TO BRING ME?" I winced as his grip was right on some of my bad bruises, and was about to ask him to stop when I watched as Gaara walked past Sasuke who for some reason looked mad, and was glaring at Kiba, and stop in front of both Kiba, and me. Gaara pushed Kiba's hands off of my shoulders, and put his arm around my shoulder.
"Don't touch Naruto-kun like that." He said quietly. I noticed Neji visibly twitch, and began panicking. It wasn't that hard to realize that Neji liked Gaara, and if Hyuugas' are anything like their cousin Uchihas' then Neji is going to be jealous over this. I'm just glad that Itachi has a liking for Kyuubi, otherwise I would never know this. I squeezed my way out of Gaara's grip, and put my hand on his shoulder.
"It's okay Gaara-kun, Kiba didn't know." I turned to Kiba, who was looking a little confused. "At the concert yesterday, there was a mosh pit, and all three of us were in the middle of it." I said thinking quickly. "And I have bruises all over my body, including by shoulders." I gestured to Gaara "And Gaara has plenty too, see there's one on his face right on his cheek bone, it's pretty bad, didn't you notice?" Kiba started to look guilty, and Neji was looking at Gaara's face, I was surprised when Gaara blushed. "But, the teme got out completely unscathed, because he was to scared to go in the mosh pit." I smirked, when Kiba laughed, and Neji, averted his attention from looking at Gaara's bruise to raising his eye brow at Sasuke, smirking. Sasuke glared at me.
I laughed, and hid behind Kiba, who I noticed paled when Sasuke's glare was directed at him. He turned to me. "Naruto, I think you seriously pissed Sasuke off." I laughed, and patted him on the head.
"Don't worry about it." I raised my voice. "Sasuke's such a drama queen, he's always pissed." Kiba bust out laughing, and I did too.
SASUKE'S POVとち戸名ノイ
I rolled my eyes at Naruto, and sat down in my chair. I rested my chin on my hands, and watched Naruto run around the room, chasing Kiba, who somehow found a box of his Pocky in Naruto's bag. I looked at Neji, who up until then, had been giving me a weird look, Neji at that moment approached Gaara, and began examining his bruise. Everyone in the school knows that Neji has a crush on Gaara except Gaara. But, the interesting this is, Gaara has a crush on Neji as well, but Neji hasn't noticed it, either. It's quite funny watching them around each other.
Now if the dobe, would just get feelings for me, and then realize I liked him. Gosh, he's just to dense, and naïve, how can he not notice I like him?
"You okay Gaara?" Gaara blushed when Neji ran a finger along the edge of his face. Gaara gave a curt nod, and moved back a little, to put space between Neji and himself. Although it's none of my business, I am presuming it's because he's not trusting himself to be so close to Neji. I noticed the hurt expression on Neji's face, but Gaara didn't, his face was cast downward. I may be an Uchiha, but I'm not a heartless bastard. Well maybe I am, but that's besides the point.
"Hyuuga." I said loud enough for him to hear. I growled when a bunch of girls, squealed. I watched Neji walk over to me, his face back to expressionless, instead of hurt. Thank goodness the yakuza can come in at times like this, damn you Naruto for making me feel bad for Neji, with your softness.
"Uchiha." He nodded at me, as he waited for what I had to say. I grabbed the letter my mother had given me this morning, and instructed to give to Neji Hyuuga, to give to his father Hizashi Hyuuga. This has been happening for a while now, my mother would give me a letter, and then Hizashi-san would give a letter in reply. We are both instructed to never read the contents. I handed the letter, which was sealed in a manila envelope, sealed with the Uchiha crest, to Neji. He took in gently, and put it in a pocket in his bag, and then sat down in his seat, next to me.
"... suke alone you fucking loser." I heard a shrill voice shout. I looked up, and growled, the bitch(Sakura), slut(Ino), and whore(Karin) surrounding Naruto. Karin was pushing Naruto against a desk, and her finger was on his chest. Kiba was just watching, probably too scared of what those girls would do to him, they have a majority of the male population around their fingers. Everyone in the classroom was silent watching this progress, as well, probably expecting Naruto to give. I sighed and stood up, making my way over to the area they were in. I noticed from the side of my eye that Gaara was right beside me, and acknowledged him with a nod. I gestured with my eyes to Naruto, willing him to understand, to grab Naruto as soon as I got the girls' attention. It's probably a good thing we were coming up from behind the girls' so they didn't notice us.
"Shut up." I heard Naruto say weakly. I flinched, they must have said something to him, to really get to him, his eyes were watering, and then I heard it more than saw it. A loud crack filled the room, and then a loud 'fag', making anyone who wasn't paying attention, start, and the room fell to a dead silence. My temper flared.
I pushed past the girls to block their view of Naruto, and heard an almost inaudible squeak, signaling that Gaara must have grabbed him. I glared at the three girls in front of me, who were looking at me with wide eyes.
"Sasuke-kun!" They shrieked at the same time, making me glare harder.
"Shut up." I said quietly, and focused my glare to deadly, they immediately complied. "You hit him?" I said through clenched teeth.
"He deserved it, he said you didn't love us, again, but he's just jealous, he doesn't understand that you only love us, mainly me." Said the red headed whore. I noticed the other two didn't really say anything to that, except bow their heads.
I stepped toward them, focusing my gaze solely on the Karin woman, and thought of Naruto to get the expression I needed, this should be fun. "You think, so Karin?" I asked loudly. Embarrassing you is the least I can do to you, for hurting my Naruto.
Karin nodded, and blushed a bright red. "Y-yes." She said, and met my gaze. I smirked, and bent down so that I was right in front of her face.
"You're right, except for a few things, that is." I said, making sure my breath hit her face. I smirked, when she blushed harder, and bent so my mouth was right beside her ear, "You see, I don't love you, or any of your slutty bitchy friends." I heard her gasp. "I love someone else, who is nice, and compassionate, and strong. That person is innocent, and doesn't deserve to be hurt. That person has blond hair, and dark sea blue eyes, and the most beautiful, natural tan in the world, and..." I breathed on her ear, and felt her shiver. "That person is a guy." I pulled back, and stared at all three of them. "Meaning." I said very loud, so the entire class could hear, and glared "I. Am. Gay. So leave me the fuck alone." I heard only a few gasps, three in front of me, and one behind me(most likely Naruto) and one beside me(probably Kiba).
"Y-y-y-y-y-you're gay?" I heard the other two say, together.
"Did you not hear me the first time?" I asked rhetorically. "Do I need to spell it out for you, or do you just not understand?" I heard them squeak, and watched as all three of them began to cry. Abruptly, I heard someone clapping, and then a few more until, the entire class joined in. Someone even whistled. The three girls ran out of the classroom, and slammed the door.
"Good job Uchiha." A random classmate, said to me, and patted me on the back. "About time." He added then walked away. A few other people did that, until the entire class congratulated me, and added an 'about time too'. I 'hmphed' and then walked over to Naruto.
"Dobe, you okay?" Naruto looked up, his face was bright red, but it seems not from embarrassment, but from crying. He nodded, dislodging a few stray tears from his face.
"For some reason, I-I had the urge to c-cry." He said as if he couldn't believe he was crying. He looks so...
"Well, it's okay to cry." I said quietly, so only Naruto, and Gaara who was still right beside him could hear. "And Gaara, thank you." I said, and reached my hand forward for a hand shake, but decided against it, and made, a fist. Gaara made a fist as well, and smirked, when our fists bumped. It seems I'm in debt.
However, the three were oblivious, to the suspicious looks coming from a certain Hyuuga.
KYUUBI'S POVノン奈々子煮
I grabbed the plates from from the table, and walked into the kitchen, and set them in the sink to be washed. I walked slowly to the dining room and gestured to the stairs.
"Let's take this conversation somewhere a little more... private." I said quietly. Without waiting for a reply I began up the stairs, listening for the footsteps of Shukaku, and Itachi. When I reached Sasuke's room (We had made this our rendezvous point, because Itachi didn't want anyone but me in his room.) I walked in his room and sat down, with my back touching Sasuke's bed, and pulled my knees to my chest. A minute later, Itachi walked in, with a laughing Shukaku following. I scowled at the floor.
"Ah, come on Kyuu, you need to tell him sometime." Shukaku laughed again, and sat down cross legged beside me.
"Shut up, jerk face." I pouted.
"Girly guy."
"Whore."
"Looser."
"Hoe."
"Moron."
"Slut."
"Idiot"
"Douche."
"Bitch."
"Skank."
"Twat waffle."
"Cum dumpster."
"Enough!" Both Shukaku and I looked up at Itachi who was looking at us as if we had grown two heads. I bust out laughing, as did Shukaku.
"'Tachi, we do that all the time." I said.
He just glared at the ground, and sat down on my other side, so we made a triangle circle.
"Kay then Kyuu-chan, spill it." Shukaku said rather cheerfully.
"Fine." I growled, and then relaxed. "I've only been in one very serious relationship." I said quietly. I seen Itachi look at me and raise an eye brow.
"How serious." He asked.
"We-well er, we almost got married" I said embarrassed, and slightly sad.
"Married?" He was looking at me as if I was dying.
"Yes, but that was, well over 300 years ago, and he was er, killed, after being together for nearly 50 years." I said feeling down-hearted thinking about Ryo. Shukaku patted me on the back.
"O-oh, sorry." Itachi said. He stuttered! Oh my gosh! I laughed, and pointed at Itachi.
"You stuttered, oh my gosh." he rolled his eyes, but stayed silent.
"So, what happened?" I smiled, glad Itachi was curious.
"Well, when I joined the Akatsuki, we were a friendly group of demons that could take human form, that was against hurting humans. So, obviously when Orochimaru wanted to join we let him, he was powerful, and said he had the same views as us. He slowly moved up the ranks, until everyone including the leader at the time, Pein voted for him to be the leader. Only a few years later was when he started to really show his hate for humans. He started sending us on missions, to destroy human villages. Of course we all protested, or at least some of us did, but we were, um we'd be punished if we did." I looked at Itachi, he had stiffened, Shukaku put his hand on mine, and gave me a nod. "Anyway, before I met anyone in the Akatsuki I was living with two humans, Haruki, and Ryo, they were twins. They took me in when they found me nearly dead from demon hunters, that killed my entire family, and clan, I found out later on in life.
"After a few years, I found out what my thoughts about Ryo meant when I consulted in Haruki." Itachi tilted his head side ways, in question.
"Wasn't it against religion to be anything but what the bible said, back then, wouldn't you be burned?" He asked, curiosity in his voice. I laughed. Where had that idea come from?
"No. The bible said no such thing back then, men and woman were free to love whoever they wanted a long time ago. I have never heard that before, have you Shu?" I said turning to face Shukaku. He shook his head, amusement in his eyes.
"You know Kyuu, in history classes, people say men even thought they were better than woman." I laughed a whole-hearted laugh. I never heard that one before either, maybe I should of stayed awake when Naruto was in school.
"That's not right, who came up with that?" I said, still chuckling.
"So wait, people weren't biased, like men didn't make women stay in the house, cook, clean, take care of the children, and weren't able to join the army?" What?
"No way, woman are as good as men in every way. Who would make a woman do that, and take all their rights away?" I asked, getting irritated, but glad we never treated woman like that. Itachi shrugged.
"Kyuu, get on with the story." Shukaku whined. I rolled my eyes.
"Right... where was I, umm. Oh yeah, so when I was visiting Ryo and Haruki one night, Deidara came to the house, and well, he warned me, he was the first one in the Akatsuki I had ever met, we were like brothers. I tried as hard as I could to get them as far away as possible, we had to be in, where were we?" I thought for a minute. "Right, we were in the border, crossing from China into Russia, when we were spotted by an undercover person, which I didn't know until then was working for Orochimaru. He has spies everywhere, it's creepy as hell. Now what was that ass holes name again? Kabara, no, oh yes, Kabuto, he was a dick head. Kabuto let us stay in his home, for a few days, pretending to be worried about us, and then I woke up one night to the sound of screaming. I ran into the sitting room, and saw a dead Haruki, her heart." I breathed out remembering that night. "In Orochimaru's hand. So I did what any rational person would do, I attacked Orochimaru, but he was stronger than me at the time so he easily beat me. I then watched as he peeled the skin off of Ryo, while he was alive, and then tear every single one of his organs out, until he died. Then, he let me stay alive, and kept me prisoner back at the base. He still has the skin and hearts of Haruki and Ryo, on display as far as I know." I spat.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and I quickly pushed back the memories, not wanting to relive them, not even in my own memories. The feeling of watching the one you love killed in front of you, because of you is not the greatest feeling.
"I'm sorry." Itachi said quietly.
"Don't worry about it." I said, and laughed quietly.
"Yeah he still hasn't told you about his leather." I blushed.
"He told me he likes it a lot." Itachi said looking at me questioningly.
"Yeah, well after I started doing work as a solider for the Akatsuki, unwillingly might I add, I liked to wear leather." I said, and shrugged.
"Oh he's not telling you everything. The leather was skin tight, and he wore boots with them. His shirt was a few inches above his pant line so his stomach was showing, and it had no sleeves. Plus he wore boots that were just below his knee, and they made absolutely no sound, during missions. He was positively sexy, whenever he wore his leather, and that was may I remind you... all the time. Woman and men alike hit on him all the time, it was so funny." I laughed a little, but blushed.
"Shut up Shu, not everyone hit on me, and I only wore it because it was comfortable, and intimidating." I said, and chuckled.
"Yeah, and that's how demons from different groups knew him, he was Akatsuki's best assassin, and was deemed Sairento-shi, people were so scared of him. Even I was at a point, but, that was before I got to know he was a giant human loving, fluff ball, that was actually extremely shy. He's like a younger brother." I punched Shukaku lightly on the arm.
I heard Itachi chuckle. "So no one else in your life, after that?" He asked lightly.
"Nope, nobody serious anyways, I liked some people, but not romantically, and we'd just become friends, nothing more." I seen Itachi look, almost relieved, but I brushed it off, thinking it was nothing. "What about you 'Tachi, you have anything going for you?" I asked curiously.
ITACHI'S POV煮価値即煮
"No he doesn't, the last time he tried dating someone, that person stalked him for an entire year after he broke up with him." I twitched, and turned toward the door.
"Otouto-kun." I said lightly, and stood up. "Come here." Sasuke walked over to me, unsuspecting, I smirked. I quickly grabbed him, and got behind him, and wrapped by arm around him neck, and started messing up his hair.
"Come on Nii-san stoooop." He whined, after a minute, to which I grinned triumphantly. I let him go, and he glared at me. His hair was sticking up, and I bust out laughing, until he started to fix it.
"So Shukaku, Kyuu, I have a question." I heard Naruto say, and immediately walked over to get in on the conversation, Sasuke following right behind me. We joined Naruto, Gaara, and the two demons.
"So, you want to know about the entire Akatsuki... like what?" Kyuubi asked.
"Well, I want to know everything, like the leader, the names, ranks, how many there are, and what type of demon they are." Kyuubi, and Shukaku nodded at the same time.
"Kit, I must say first, the most important one's are the one's with a ring, because we are the more powerful demons." Kyuubi said and lifted his right hand to show the ring, on his ring finger, I noticed that only yesterday. He then gestured to Shukaku's hand and I noticed he also had a ring, except on his right pinky finger, and it was green, with the kanji 緑 on it, meaning midori, or green.
Everyone sat down, so they were in a circle much like the one they were in last night, but Naruto sat down in between Kyuubi, and Gaara, beside Gaara was Shukaku, then Sasuke, and beside Sasuke was me, and then Kyuubi. Everyone seemed to notice Naruto was avoiding looking at Sasuke, as if he was mad at him. But, I noticed Sasuke was looking at Naruto almost pleadingly. I smirked, Note to Self: Ask Sasuke what he did to screw up with Naruto already.
"Alright." Kyuubi started "I'll start off by giving the name, rank, animal demon, what finger their ring is on, what color it is, and what the kanji means. That good for everyone?" Everyone nodded. "Although I believe everyone in the household should be hearing this, I suppose I could tell it again to the adults of the house later." Kyuubi huffed, and then leaned back, so his back was once again resting on the bed.
"Kyuu, what does the color and kanji matter, or even what finger it's placed on?" Kyuubi looked at Naruto for a minute, and then smiled, and ruffled Naruto's hair.
"It's for the team jutsu: Sealing technique: Illusionary Dragon Nine Consuming Seals, we have to be in the place where we made the rings for it to work, the rock resemble two hands. We have to stand on the rock, that resembles the finger we wear our ring on, for the jutsu to work, or that's the theory anyway, we've never tried it before. The color has something to do with what color our jaki is, and the kanji is our part of the jutsu, like a spell, understand?" Naruto nodded, and I noticed the other two nod, so I gave a curt nod. "Oh, and The Akatsuki, it means Dawn or Daybreak, it was named that, to give demons another chance, or another beginning, to start over, like a new day." We nodded again
"Good, okay so, Orochimaru, 1st in command; leader, Taipan Snake Demon, left pinky, slate blue, and the kanji means void, his animal is the deadliest snake on earth. Pein, 2nd in command, cougar demon, right thumb, purplish-gray, and the kanji means zero, his demon is an excellent jumper, and can run at a solid 40 mph(64 kmh). Deidara, 3rd in command, Gyrfalcon Demon, right pointer finger, teal, the kanji means, blue or green, his demon can get to two feet long and his wings can reach four feet long each, he can fly over 200 mph(321kph). Konan, assassin, Maltese tiger, right middle finger, white, and the kanji means white, her demon is the biggest in the cat family, can reach up to 660 pounds(300 kilograms), and her canines reach up to 4 inches(100mm) long. Sasori, assassin, red panda demon, left thumb, purple, and his kanji means jewel, or ball, his demon is 25 inches(63cm) long, and has long sharps, curved, claws, in animal form, he also has opposable thumbs, and can rotate his ankles, while climbing." Kyuubi let out a sigh, and gestured for Shukaku to take over.
"Er, right, Hidan, assassin, golden lion tamarin monkey demon, left index finger, orange, and his kanji means three, his demon... well he never really told us anything, and preferred to work alone, so I have no idea. Kakuzu, assassin, polar bear demon, left middle finger, dark green, and his kanji means north, his demon weighs 770–1,500 pounds (350–680 kg) his teeth are sharp, and his jaw is one of the most powerful in the world. Kisame, assassin, Blue shark demon, left ring finger, yellow, his kanji means south. His demon is solely for underwater missions, and is known for being aggressive during them as well."
Everyone was silent as they took in and processed the information.
"So... what kind of game is that?" Asked a very unfamiliar voice.
Kat-chan: My gosh, this took forever. But, like I said, my favorite so far, but it took a long time to think of, and write all of this, since I had to make up what kind of animals the others wearing the rings were, I will add I did not make up the jutsu, or the rings, or what the name means, or the animals, all the animals were real, and the facts are real as well. Feel free to look up the animals if you wish. I chose the cutest animals I could find (excluding the snake) and I am just soo happy this is finished. Oh, and they little name calling thing between Kyuu, and Shukaku, well, my sisters and I have fake fights like that all the time, so thats where I got that from, haha ^_^
Itachi: Kat-chan, where have you had me this entire time.
Kat-chan: *sweat drops* Um, well I made Naruto have boobs, soo I forgot about you?
Itachi: *glares*
Naruto: My hands are fat... *looks down* I hate my dick.
