I wasn't going to post this today because I kind of wanted to be lazy, but I decided against it.

Why?

Because I love you.

Fair warning, I'm writing a big A/N at the bottom.

Anyways, I do not own Naruto, but I do own a tin Harry Potter lunchbox. It has Snape and Bellatrix on it with a thermos with Draco on it inside. I LOVE it.

The school days came and went until finally it was Friday. I don't know about you guys, but Friday is my second favorite day of the week behind Saturday.

Nothing eventful happened throughout the week except for massive movie marathons. Hidan loves horror films, Kisame loves comedies, and surprisingly Kakuzu and Sasori thought any movie with slight romance was the funniest thing in the world. Both usually stoic killers were cracking up about the mushiness of some of the scenes. Konan loved Disney movies, something I was totally not expecting.

Itachi was enthralled with Harry Potter, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings. Deidara loved Pearl Harbor because of all of the explosions. Zetsu loved Avatar and Tobi accused Kisame of being a Pandora native. Pein of course was indifferent, but he seemed more interested in the movies that Itachi also enjoyed. I think it's because they both have similar personalities.

Currently, Kathryn and I were sitting downstairs on the couches with Itachi, Kisame, Deidara, Sasori, Kakuzu, and Hidan watching SpongeBob. We all just returned from getting Kathryn from school, and we were now just lazing around, relaxing quietly.

Kind of…

"Why the hell does that guy sleep under a fucking rock?" Hidan demanded when Patrick emerged from his rock house to run to SpongeBob's house. "And how the fuck is a pineapple a house?"

"It's just a TV show, Hidan. There is nothing realistic about it." I informed him.

"That pink star is an idiot." Sasori pointed out as Patrick ran into something.

Kakuzu frowned when Patrick and SpongeBob hugged. "Are they gay? Or mentally challenged?"

"They are mentally challenged, yes. Gay… I'm not entirely sure." I admitted. "It's a TV show, don't take anything literally."

"What the hell is a squirrel doing underwater, un?" Deidara demanded.

I smacked my forehead and Kathryn giggled. "I give up."

Itachi squeezed me to get my attention. "How is a whale the offspring of a crab?"

"That fucking crab is just like Kakuzu!" Hidan exclaimed.

"Holy shit, that lobster is huge!" Kisame laughed, pointing at Larry.

"That squid has no talent." Kakuzu droned.

Kathryn and I looked at each other as said squid explained that he was a brilliant artist and proceeded to show SpongeBob and Patrick his "collection".

"That is not art!" Sasori and Deidara said in unison. Deidara added his typical "un" but the meaning was the same.

They looked at each other. "For once I agree with you, Brat." Sasori said.

"That is an insult to art, un. I agree with you, Danna, yeah." Deidara nodded.

"They're so cute." Kathryn told me with a happy grin as she hugged Deidara and kissed his and Sasori's cheeks. They both paused in their discussion about how they agreed that wasn't art to look at her in confusion.

"Oh my god. That crab is just like Kakuzu." Kisame gasped. He looked at Kakuzu. "Was his character modeled after you?"

"Fuck you, you damn shark." Kakuzu snapped. "The crab just has his priorities straight. How the hell he had a whale as a kid I'm still not sure though."

"I have yet to see a purpose to this show." Itachi deadpanned.

"You know what, I give up. We aren't watching this anymore." I sighed, getting up from my spot from between Itachi and Hidan to go turn off the television. "There, now we can just sit here in silence."

I returned to my spot and snuggled with my weasel. He wrapped his arms around me happily and rested his chin on my head. Hidan crossed his arms with a huff and leaned against me to try and get comfortable.

I heard a few more loud sighs from the others as the silence continued. I mentally counted down from three.

3…2…1

"Damn it, I'm bored." Kathryn said loudly, breaking the silence.

Bingo, good call me.

Sasori looked towards her from his spot between her and Kakuzu on the other couch. "What should we do then?"

Kathryn sat up and looked at me. "What can we do?"

I shrugged. "We can do whatever you want, babe."

"Can we go to the park? No one ever goes there this time of year." She pointed out. "It'll let them blow off some steam. Come on, it's literally on the other side of the woods. We don't even have to drive. We can walk."

"Alright, fine." I told her. "I'll go and ask Pein, Konan, Zetsu, and Tobi." I sighed. "If you want to wear shoes, go ahead and get them. It's literally on the other side of the woods behind my fence." They all told me they would do just fine without shoes. Stupid ninjas…

"Zetsu and Tobi get to go?" Kathryn questioned.

"I feel bad about keeping them cooped up in here. No one ever goes to the park this time of year, or day, so they'll be alright. We'll just make sure to keep them away from the track, and the street. If they even want to go that is."

I got up from my spot and walked up the stairs, calling for the ninja. "Hey, Tobi, Zetsu, Konan, Pein, I have a question."

The door to Brett and Louis's room opened and Konan stuck her head out. "What is it? Is everything okay?"

I smiled at her. "Everything is fine. We're all bored so we were going to go to the park on the other side of the woods." I pointed in its direction. "I wanted to know if you four wanted to come with us. No one will see you so all of you can go."

"I don't want to go." Zetsu told me from beside the bed. "I'm fine here."

"I felt bad about keeping Zetsu and Tobi cooped up in here." I admitted. "But if you don't want to go, I don't mind. I just wanted you to have the option."

Konan smiled kindly at me. "It's alright, they don't mind. We're just going to stay here, alright?" I saw Pein nod in confirmation from the bed.

I shrugged. "That's fine. I'll make dinner when we come back. I'll see you guys later."

"Bye Alice, tell them we said to behave." Konan said sweetly.

"Oh they will. I'll destroy them if they don't." I told her as I walked down the stairs. I heard the door close again when I discovered the others lined up at the bottom of the stairs. "You know I assumed at least Zetsu would want to go. You know, since there're plants everywhere."

"They're all fucking weird." Hidan told me. I smiled at him.

"Alright lovelies, let's get moving." I told them, stepping into my shoes and grabbing my jacket from near the bottom of the steps. I led them to the back door and walked to the backyard, heading straight for the back of the fence. I paused when I got there.

"Who wants to help me and Kathryn jump this fucker?" I asked, patting the fence good naturedly. "Then we'll just have to walk through some woods and we'll be at our destination."

Itachi scooped me up in his arms, just as Deidara picked up Kathryn and they jumped over the fence with extreme ease. The other ninjas followed, not at all phased by the height of the privacy fence.

"Stupid ninjas…" I muttered as Itachi set me down. I huffed when he smirked at me and began marching towards the park.

Did you guys know I'm an extreme klutz? Well I am.

I tripped in my effort to look disgruntled and almost face planted into the ground. "Fuck." I muttered before I realized someone had caught me. I looked over my shoulder to see my savor was the most beautiful thing ever.

Itachi Uchiha.

And his lips were centimeters from mine when I looked back at him. On cue, I blushed and smiled at him. That damned Uchiha and his ability to make me act like a love struck girl.

"Thanks." I told him quietly. My eyes drifted to his lips which were twitching with amusement. He totally noticed my blush. Stupid, observant, hot, drool-inducing male…

He smirked at me. "Hn."

"Will you two quit ogling at each other and come on?" Sasori growled. "Honestly, you're almost as bad as Deidara and Kathryn."

I smiled and closed the distance between our lips for a second in a thank you kiss. "Of course Sasori, how selfish of me." Itachi helped me to my feet with a smirk and held my hand as I turned back towards the park and continued on my way.

"That's what she gets for trying to act mad and not watching where she's going." Kathryn sang as she walked behind me with Deidara and Sasori.

"Oh shut up Kathryn. You busted all the cartilage in your knee by tripping over your own feet on a flat surface." I reminded her. "There was a stick in my way."

"Really? You're a fucking klutz, Kathryn." Hidan laughed. "You're not too much better though, Alice." He added. He and Kakuzu were bringing up the rear. Kisame walked beside me and Itachi, chuckling at me and Kathryn.

I sighed with relief as we emerged from the trees to walk straight into the park. "Ah! Freedom!" I held my hands up, bringing Itachi's up with me and snatching Kisame's on the way.

Kathryn ran underneath our raised hands, tugging Deidara with her. He was clocked in the head when Kisame brought our hands down to catch him.

"Ouch, un." He grumbled. "Damn shark, hmm."

"Awe, don't be mean to him." I pouted, pulling Kisame closer to me to hug him with one arm. "He's such a sweetheart." I released him before pointing towards the park. "Go play!"

Kathryn yelled something about the playground and took off in its direction. Deidara called for her to wait up before jogging after her with a chuckle. I glanced at Itachi and he shrugged before we both set off for the ground of play.

"How old is she?" Sasori questioned rhetorically as Kathryn scrambled onto the really nice and stocked play set. It was one of those really nice ones and it was obviously well cared for. I giggled at his sarcasm.

"Technically she's sixteen. But she has the mind of a six year old." I informed him. "That's why I act so motherly."

His eyebrows rose. "That explains it."

I pulled Itachi after me, heading for the swings. Hidan and Kisame were already making their way towards the play set, seeing Kathryn climbing on top of the tunnel slide to escape Deidara. I sighed and took a swing; Itachi took the one next to me, smirking at my reaction.

"You aren't going to go and play?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes at him as Sasori took a seat on the swing on my other side. "I don't have that much energy."

"Thankfully." Kakuzu admitted while he leaned against a pole. "Do you think she'll fall?" He gestured at Kathryn who was on top of the entire play set. It was quite a height.

"Kathryn you get your ass down from there right now young lady!" I shouted, pointing to the ground. She had the worse balance ever so I was instantly in mother mode.

"I don't wanna!" She shouted back, clutching the flagpole she was using for balance.

"Deidara you get her down from there right now." I ordered. "She'll fucking fall and I am not paying for a hospital bill. Hidan, Kisame, you help him."

"Yes mom." Hidan called. He laughed at my glare and walked to the other side of the play set to help Deidara get Kathryn. She was clutching the flagpole, screaming at Deidara to leave her alone. She was kicking his hand.

I smacked my forehead. "Sasori, will you hold her still with your jutsu?"

He chuckled. "I will it looks like she'll fall. I want to watch this."

I rounded on him, only to be looking straight into Itachi's face. He smiled at me and put his hand over my mouth. "Don't worry love, none of us will let her get hurt. We just want to watch this. She'll be fine, Alice."

I nodded; taken aback by the fact he called me "love", and the fact that he was actually smiling. I blushed behind his hand and stared at him in a daze as he removed his hand with a smile. He's lucky he's so fucking adorable. He put me back in my swing and took his own. He brought me closer to him and held my hand while we watched Kathryn's antics.

"No! Bad Hidan!" She shouted, hitting Hidan with her shoe as he tried to climb up there with her. "My roof, get off!"

"Ouch, damn it! Don't fucking hit my knuckles." He snarled. He pulled his hand off the roof to shake the pain from it. Kathryn took her chance and pushed his other hand off, sending him to the floor of the play set. "Ouch you bitch!"

"Score one Kathryn, Hidan zero!" She announced happily.

Kisame meanwhile was trying to climb up behind her while Hidan and Deidara distracted her. His head poked over the side and he managed to get himself in position to hoist himself up there with her before she took notice of him.

"AH!" She screamed, hitting him in the head with her shoe. "SHARK ATTACK!"

Kisame retreated under her assault, going back down to Hidan's level. I meanwhile, was laughing at her reaction until I saw she was hitting Kisame.

"Kathryn, do not hit my Kisame damn it!" I ordered. She looked back towards me and stuck her tongue out at me.

"I do what I want, bitch!" She called.

"Do it Deidara, she's nuts." Kisame told him.

Deidara smirked. "Alright." He walked away from the tower she was on so he could look at her. "Hey Kathryn!" He called.

She looked down at him. "Yes beautiful?" She wondered. "You're so cute!"

"I'll kiss you if you come down, un. I miss you, yeah." He told her with a slight pout on his face. I knew he won when he did that. Kathryn was such a pushover for pouting faces.

Kathryn melted. "Awe!" She squealed. "Okay!" Then she jumped.

"Kathryn you're a fucking moron!" I shouted, watching her fall to her death.

I fell on the ground in a faint when Kisame caught her in the nick of time. I rolled on my back and stared at the sky, thanking any and all gods for Kisame.

"Alice, are you alright?" Itachi demanded, kneeling beside me, his face and voice lined with worry because of my sudden fall.

"Is Kathryn okay?" I inquired.

Itachi looked in Kathryn's direction for a moment before looking back at me. "She's absolutely fine. Kisame caught her."

"Someone fucking bring her over here." I growled. "I'm going to kill her."

Itachi smiled at my reaction and helped me to my feet. I turned slowly, to glare at Kathryn who was being fussed over by Deidara and Hidan. She paused in telling them she was fine to look in my direction, feeling my stare.

"I'm in trouble." She squeaked. She made Kisame put her down as I began sprinting in her direction. She took off, running away from me.

She tripped over her own foot and stumbled long enough for me to tackle her to the ground. I punched her in the shoulder and the stomach, causing her to yelp in pain.

"You fucking dumbass!" I growled at her. "Do you have any idea how scared you just made me? If it wasn't for Kisame you could have broken your neck!" I stood up and forcibly lifted her off the ground. I shoved her towards the shark.

"Get on your knees and thank him for your life you moron. You owe him your soul right now." I shouted. All of the ninja were looking at me through wide, scared eyes.

Kathryn hugged Kisame's leg, hoping it would protect her from me.

I jumped when I felt arms around me. I saw Itachi standing beside me and I narrowed my eyes at him. "Can I help you?"

"I think you need to calm down, Alice." Itachi soothed.

"I will not fucking calm down." I growled. I pointed at Kathryn. "Hidan, sacrifice her to Jashin right now!" I shook my head and turned my finger to Kisame. "Make him bless everything Kisame is." Hidan looked shocked and Kathryn squeaked in fear. Kisame was just rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

"You!" I shouted, pointing at Kathryn again. "No Deidara or Sasori for a week!"

Her eyes widened. "Alice I'm sorry!" I meant serious business.

"Sorry doesn't solve everything, Kathryn." I snapped.

"Alice, you need to relax." Itachi said calmly, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me into a hug.

I opened my mouth to retort, only to be silence by his lips. I almost protested before I realized what was going on, and relaxed into the gesture, returning it willingly.

After a moment, he released me. "Better?"

"Much." I sighed. "Thank you."

"Anytime." He said with a smirk. He loosened his grip on me so I could face Kathryn.

I glared at her. "You're lucky Itachi is here." I informed her. "You owe him big time now too." I made to walk over there but was restrained by a cautious Uchiha. He let me go after I assured him I wasn't going to kill Kathryn.

I walked away from him and towards Kisame. Kathryn whimpered and fled, hiding behind Kakuzu as I approached. I glared at her hidden figure before hugging Kisame.

"Thank you. I almost had a heart attack." I told him, attempting to wrap my arms around his giant form. He chuckled and returned my embrace.

"You're welcome Alice. None of us would have let Kathryn get hurt." He told me with a pat on the head. "None of us were expecting her to jump of course…"

"Dumbass." I grumbled.

"But someone would have caught her either way." Kisame continued.

I pulled away from him and glared at Kathryn. "I hope you know now Kathryn that if you ever do something like that again, I won't hesitate to kill your ass."

She nodded her head from behind Kakuzu before darting around him and hurrying over to hug me. I did not return her embrace but allowed her to hug me. "I'm sorry Alice. I knew one of them was going to catch me though. I didn't know you were so worried."

"Of course I was worried you idiot." I snapped. "You're my best friend, why wouldn't I be?" She had no reply to that.

"Talk about motherly." Sasori chuckled as he approached. "You weren't exaggerating."

I shot a look at him. "No, no I wasn't.'

Hidan crossed his arms. "Your reaction scared me." He laughed. "I think Kathryn almost shit her pants."

Kathryn frowned at him. "No I didn't." She looked at me. "Do I still get no artist for a week?" I narrowed my eyes at her.

"You can have them." I sighed. "I overreacted a bit."

She squealed with happiness, kissed my cheek and glomped Deidara. "I'm so glad."

"Maybe you should listen to Alice from now on, yeah." Deidara told her as she hugged him. He had his arms wrapped around her waist.

She nodded. "Yeah, her punches hurt."

"You're damn right they do." I snapped, crossing my arms.

Kakuzu patted the top of my head. "I've never seen you run that fast. Not when you were chasing her the first time, or when you were running from Kisame."

"I wasn't in killing mode then." I informed him.

"You could be a ninja." Hidan teased.

I laughed. "I'm faster than you already. I don't need to be a ninja."

"Fuck that!" He said loudly. "I'm faster than anyone here."

"That is a lie." Itachi said calmly as he grabbed my hand. "You are the slowest here."

"He's right, idiot." Kakuzu said, looking at Hidan. "I'm the fastest."

Deidara shook his head. "I'm so the fastest, un."

"That is also a lie, Brat." Sasori stated shortly. "I'm faster than you."

"I'm faster than all of you." Kisame smirked.

Itachi rolled his beautiful blood red eyes. "I am obviously the most endowed."

Kathryn grinned at me. "Let's have a race!"

They all looked at her. "Seriously?" Sasori questioned.

She nodded. "Yeah! It will solve all of the issues. She pointed to the tree line. "All of you go line up over there, and Alice and I will be the finish line over there." She pointed to what was left of a line of a baseball field a few yards away from the playground.

"Fine." Kisame said with a shrug.

Hidan sighed and started walking towards the tree line. "What's the harm in a little race?"

"Hn." Itachi said coolly and began making his way to the starting point with Sasori and Kakuzu trailing behind him quietly.

Deidara smirked and kissed Kathryn's cheek before jogging to catch up with them. Kathryn and I jogged to the finish line and waited patiently for our ninjas to take their positions. When they all were in place, I started the race. "GO!"

And they were off. It took them seconds to reach us. Itachi was easily the fastest. Deidara and Sasori were evenly matched, right behind Itachi. Kakuzu and Kisame were the next in line and Hidan brought up the rear. He was not happy about that.

I hugged my weasel. "Good job, Itachi. I knew my man was the fastest."

He smirked and hugged me back.

"You are super duper fast!" Kathryn said clutching Deidara. "I wish I could run that fast!" She scoffed. "Hell I'd be a pleased banana with Hidan's speed!"

"Shut up, bitch!" Hidan growled. Kakuzu and Kisame were both chuckling at him.

Sasori looked at me. "How did you know your 'man' was the fastest?"

"Naruto Wiki." I said with a shrug. "Itachi has the highest stats."

"That's kind of creepy that you know that, un." Deidara informed me.

I smirked at him. "I know everything about you Deidara. I'm an internet stalker." I paused. "Insert maniacal laughing here."

Kathryn pointed at Itachi and started jumping up and down. "OH MY GOD! A SMILE!" She ran away from the area and hid under a tree. "Sign of the apocalypse! Run!"

"Kathryn, shut up." I told her seriously as I hung onto Itachi. "He's smiled before."

"Itachi never smiles." Kathryn informed me. "There must be something wrong with him." She zipped over to us and put her hand on Itachi's forehead. "He doesn't have a fever, maybe he's been poisoned."

Itachi looked at me as she fussed over him. "What is she doing?"

"Just ignore her." I sighed. "Kathryn calm down."

"No!" She said seriously. "Itachi is too badass to smile! You're an imposter!" She declared, pointing at Itachi. "Quick, Alice, get away from him!"

"Hn." Itachi said, watching her and still holding onto me.

Kathryn paused and straightened up. "Oh you're good Mr. Imposter."

He poked her forehead, effectively making her shut up.

"Ah! Weasel poke!" She said, holding her forehead. She grinned and hugged Itachi. "Hi Itachi! Welcome back!"

He waited until she released him to look at me. "What is wrong with her?"

"What isn't wrong with her would be a shorter list." I informed him.

Kisame, Deidara, and Hidan were all laughing at this while Sasori and Kakuzu worried about Kathryn's sanity. I don't blame any of them.

"You're so strange." Kakuzu told her.

She shrugged before hugging him. "I know." He just smirked and patted her head.

"So, what now, un?" Deidara asked.

Kathryn crossed her arms. "I say, DOG PILE ON ALICE!" She shouted, running towards me. I yelled in fright and ran away, letting go of Itachi so he didn't suffer with me.

"QUICK! DEIDARA, HIDAN, KISAME, KAKUZU, ITACHI, SASORI, JOIN ME!" She hollered over her shoulder. "We will get Alice and attack her with love!"

I looked over my shoulder, hoping that none of the ninjas were helping her. I had a mini-panic attack when I saw Kisame, Hidan, and Deidara were indeed intent on attacking me.

I was tackled by a shark, and he curled into a ball with me in his arms, half protecting me from the weight of Hidan when he jumped on us.

"Pay back is a bitch!" He laughed in my ear. "This is what you get for jumping on me that one morning!" He wrapped his arms around me from behind while I clutched Kisame as if he was my lifeline.

Deidara came next, landing directly on top of me, laughing. Kathryn then topped off the pile by sitting on his back, saying she was queen of the mountain. I just focused on breathing and hugging my shark.

"Help!" I shouted. "Itachi, Sasori, Kakuzu, help me!" I heard voices and Kathryn calling someone a butthead with a pouting voice before all of the weight except for Kisame was removed. I continued to hold onto Kisame, waiting for death.

"Alright Alice, you're free." Itachi whispered in my ear with his sexy voice. My eyes snapped open.

"Sexy!" I said happily, releasing Kisame and turning in his grasp to latch onto Itachi. He was forced to the ground so I could hold onto him. He chuckled at my behavior as I snuggled into him.

"We are so doing this tonight." I informed him. I looked over my shoulder at Kisame. "Don't you dare leave, Kisame. You're in this love fest."

He laughed and hugged my waist. "Fair enough."

"Alice! No sex!" Kathryn scolded. "Let go of the weasel and the shark!" She grabbed the little bit of me that wasn't clutching dude and pulled.

"Deidara, Sasori! Get her!" She said pointing at me when I didn't budge.

I whispered something into Itachi's ear and he smirked, loosening his grip on me. I told my plan to Kisame before looking up at Kathryn. My eyes widened in horror and I pointed behind her. "Oh my god!"

They all turned around and I sprang, taking advantage of their dropped guard before tackling Sasori. We hit the ground with a grunt and a thud. I quickly latched onto him so he couldn't escape. He looked confused for a moment before catching up with my actions.

"What are you doing?" He growled.

"I'm hugging my favorite puppet." I admitted with a shrug around his puppet form.

He frowned. "I see that." He sighed. "May I ask why?"

"You may." I told him.

"Why are you doing this?" He questioned.

I grinned. "Well because I love you!" I glanced at Kathryn. "Help me love him." She giggled in response and jumped on us, hugging any part of Sasori she could.

"Awe we just love you Danna!" Kathryn cooed. "You're so cute!" She nuzzled his face. "Danna is such a pretty man."

"Pretty?" He cursed. "Get off of me."

"Never." I smirked. "You know you like it. Accept our love."

His eyebrow twitched. "Brat, get your wench off me." He glared at Itachi. "Get your woman off me before I break them."

I kissed his cheek. "Awe, the scorpion is angry." He glared.

"Quick! Preemptive attack!" I shouted before getting off of him and attacking Hidan. He went to the ground with a yell of shock, trying to maneuver us so I didn't get hurt. Awe, he's such a sweetheart when he needs to be.

"Hidan's turn!" I sang as I cuddled against him. I looked over my shoulder. "Don't worry Itachi, you're still my favorite." I winked at Kisame. "You too Mr. Shark." I squeezed Hidan. "But I feel the rest of my favorite criminals need some love too."

Hidan smirked beneath me. "I can't say I don't like this." I looked up into his face to see a suggestive, perverted smile on his face.

I began backing off him. "Okay, pervert is done." I stood up and turned to face my next victim. Kakuzu gave me a flat stare when I crouch and turned slowly to attack.

"Don't even think about it." He told me seriously.

I grinned "Too late!" I attacked, Kathryn joining in with me. Kakuzu caught my attack, but hadn't been expecting Kathryn. Her momentum crashing into him combined with mine was enough to knock him off his feet.

"Ah, the miser!" I cooed. "I love you Kakuzu."

"If I reply with the same, will that make you get off?" He asked seriously, already situating Kathryn and me in his arms so he could get up. Damn he was strong.

"Maybe." I shrugged.

He sighed. "I love you too, Alice."

I laughed. "Yes!" I hugged him tighter as he stood, me clutching onto him and Kathryn thrown over his shoulder.

"What about me?" Kathryn whined.

"You too, Kathryn." Kakuzu droned. "Now will you get off of me?"

"Indeed." I told him. "Lower me to the ground because you're freaking tall."

He did as I asked with a chuckle, lowering Kathryn as well. I hugged him one last time before pausing. He frowned at my grin and Kathryn mimicked it, already knowing what I was thinking. An evil giggle escaped her.

"They're plotting something." Kisame said with fear.

I snapped around. "Blondie."

Deidara's eyes widened. "No, un." He started backing away. "Don't even do it Alice, un!" But he was too late, I was already attacking, Kathryn right beside me. We both tackled the blond, knocking him to the ground.

"Ah, mission accomplished." I said hugging Deidara's side while Kathryn hugged his other. She kissed his face, giggling.

"You guys are nuts, yeah." Deidara told us.

I nodded. "You've got that right." I let him go after a moment of telling him he was cute and I loved him. I sat up and looked around at the murderers surrounding us. "That was fun."

"I disagree." Sasori said calmly.

I frowned at him. "Whatever Sasori you butthead, you probably were having the time of your life. You're just too stubborn to admit it."

"Lies." He said shortly.

I smirked. "I can do it again if you'd like."

"No." He deadpanned. I shrugged and got to my feet. I skipped back to Itachi and hugged him. He returned it with a chuckle.

I sighed into my Uchiha. "Just to let you guys know, even though he's a pervert, Hidan was the sweetest out of all of my victims." I shook my head. "He made sure I didn't get hurt when we were falling."

"You attacked me from behind." Sasori growled.

I held up one finger. "While this is true, you would have hurt me had I been facing you and done so." He paused and nodded, knowing it was true. I smiled at him. "Kakuzu was very nice about it too." I turned my smile to him.

"How come you didn't attack Itachi and Kisame, un?" Deidara questioned.

I smiled. "They knew of my plan. How do you think I got away from them in the first place?" Itachi squeezed my shoulders lightly. "I would have, but they're too ninja to fall for my tricks. You guys just aren't up to par."

Kathryn looked in my direction. "What time does the park close?" She asked.

I pulled out my phone. "Uh, I think it closes at ten." I looked at it. "We still have like five hours still." I pocketed the device. "Not like we'll be here the entire time anyways."

I pulled myself out of Itachi's grasp and flopped on the ground. He gave me a questionable look before shrugging and sitting beside me on the dying grass with sexy poise. I fought drool and closed my eyes, enjoying the cold air.

"It's supposed to snow on Monday night. Like really bad." Kathryn informed me. "I think we're supposed to get a snow day."

"That would be fantastic." I told her. "I would be a pleased banana."

"And what, pray tell, does that even mean?" Kisame asked.

I looked around at him and shrugged. "I don't have a clue. I said it randomly one day with Brett, Louis, and Kathryn. It sparked a very amusing conversation and thus, it stuck."

"We talk about the weirdest things…" Kathryn said thoughtfully.

I smiled. "We saw a bumper sticker that I swear said something about clean fingernails the other day, and somehow we ended up talking about penguins and high powered binoculars."

"How are those even remotely connected?" Sasori questioned.

"We don't know." Kathryn and I said in unison.

I truly do use the phrase "a pleased banana."

I have a question.

Have you guys ever read the fanfiction Kitty Kurse by AbbylovesDeidara?

I just finished it around New Years and I have to say, it is an excellent piece of work. To be honest, every one should go read it because it's seriously incredible.

The writer of the story is actually very talented and that little piece of literature has made it's way to being one of my favorites since I finished it.

It's also about Akatsuki kittens and it's hilarious. She has a wider range of talent and emotions in her story than I do in mine, so in my opinion, her's is much better than this. Granted, her story was made first and she probably put more effort into hers than I am putting into mine. However, I started writing this one just for my own fun before I even gave it a thought.

After starting this story, I got curious and started searching the other FFs for similar stories and there are A LOT. A great majority of them all hold similarities and are, in fact, very well written.

Oh and by the way, I listened to "Blue" by Eiffel 65 and the Bleach soundtracks as I was writing this.

Anyways, I have to go write a speech for one of my classes so I'm out.

Toodles.
