My reviewers how you have disappointed me only one review. Then again it has only been one day so I'm not sure if I shouldn't be feeling really stupid. Probably stupid, it's in my nature.

Chapter Twenty-one

My mother yelled at me waking up the next day. It's summer, and after my year, I deserved to sleep in till at least five in the morning. She was also mad about another broken alarmclock. Though this time, I only had to skip breakfast.

While in the car she actually noticed when I got my laptop out. So I had to listen to her complain about 'the mysterious broken clock,' as I often try to put it. It never works.

This plane ride was more bearable then last December's seeing as there was no small child kicking the back of my chair. Unfortunate since I actually forgot my medicine this time. All else have to say about the flight is; that someone behind me snored like a growling bear, and I have a new obsession with airline peanuts.

New York was the same as ever big, city-like, and dirty (no offence to inhabitants) compared to my small town. My mother was still complaining about the alarm clock when we were in our hotel room.

"We've already spent so much money can't you please just leave one intact. Where do you even get that kind of energy from? I usually have to drag you out of bed. Who knows how you manage to get to school. You're almost like that teacher you are always complaining about, the one who's always late."

I was more amused than angry, "This is coming from the one who was how late picking me up from the hospital. Besides I don't read porn in class, or anytime for that matter, like Kakashi . If you wanted someone to cooperate why didn't you switch my ticket with Pein's?"

"Because our flight was full and I don't trust you alone on a plane, especially after what happened in December. Anymore pointless thoughts, if not I'm sure you can manage."

"Just one mother... Do I have to share a room with you and Pein? If so I'll gladly pay for my own."

I had to dodge flying cushions as I made my escape. It must have been that time of the month. Though she didn't have to throw things, I thought my question was well justified.

I walked the hotel for an hour, and you can always trust that if I'm around trouble will follow. It started with tormenting the bellhop with random questions. He was no fun though so I moved on to the guests with a fake survey.

"Excuse me sir or madam," this person was obviously female, "I'm am here to question you on the agreeability of the service you are receiving in this establishment. Question one: are you happy with your current quarters."

"Why yes they are very comfortable and the bed is divine."

"Question two: Why and how is it that you find sleeping on quarters so comfortable."

"I'm sorry I don't understand Miss."

"Well I asked about your quarters and you go on gibbering about your bed, which I am clearly not asking about. Come on lady quarters, circular, shiny, a picture of what's his face on the front."

The door was slammed in my face. This happened several times. I asked different questions at every door, from how are you, to what color's your underwear? They were blue and I was disturbed that the guy had actually told me.

I wandered around the food area for a while before sitting down. I sighed letting my lips flap making a sound like a horse. I wished my friends were here I needed fun.

Even Itachi would be welcomed, because as I had found out yesterday he was very comfortable to sleep on. His book had been very boring to me. It had shocked me to find him asleep as well when I woke up, though it was probably my fault he was so tired. I had woken him up at seven after all.

I saw a familiar figure walk into the lobby, it had been five hours since I had left the room.

"Pein-san how are you doing?"

"Sakura-chan? Did your mother send you to wait?"

"Nope she got mad and threw pillows at me. It's that time of the month."

I watched as his face changed from being somewhat pleasant to a look of pure awkwardness along with the silence. I had done this on purpose just for his reaction.

"Yay a gay baby has been born," my shout had earned me a lot of strange looks, but my thoughts had taken an interesting turn. If awkward silence equals gay baby then I wondered if Sasuke was born in one, and how close the silence has to be to take effect.

I wasn't allowed my own room. So I stayed on the couch like mom told me. To her surprise I listened extensively. No one wants to hear old people sex mom. Duh.

Karin and Tayuya were there as usual, and my mother made my apologize. Fun, fun, fun.

They flinched when I approached, "Listen though I hit you with good reason I'm sorry, of course I don't mean it since you insulted one of my dead best friends. But mother is making me apologize. Warm fuzzies all around now let me go puke."

I almost did, apologizing to them almost made me physically ill. But if I didn't I couldn't go back to the hotel.

Lunch was boring, all the people went together as usual. They talked about this fashion stuff. Even Ino-pig wasn't this bad when she wasn't being evil. The whole conversation was too sugary for me.

"Mom can I please leave I'm about to be sick from all the sugary sweetness. It's not even this bad around Itachi in the way that he barely talks at all."

"Sorry, and that's your fault for having such a quiet friend."

Ooh, she was so evil. Did she go to school for something like this? If her highschool was anything like mine she probably learned it there.

"At least he's worth while. Unlike the 'I'm so pretty' stereotype I'm drowning in right now."

And it was true. More of these women, myself excluded, had dyed hair, very pretty clothes that looked deliberately like they had been worn before. Most probably hadn't done this because every year there is at least three of these women who come in with the stickers still on the pants. Both Pein and myself wore jeans and t-shirts, he was a guy and I didn't care.

"Sakura don't say things like that," my mom muttered at me, "these are very nice people, and we're trying to have a conversation."

My voice rose a bit so I could be heard by all, "Very well mother persist in your confabulation with the gomeril. I'm going back to the hotel."

I did nothing but sleep and stay outside the rest of our stay.

gomeril : fool like idiot fool

Itachi sometimes likes to use words like that, when he talks, because no one knows what they mean. They tend to be insulting, and are often said to me, Shisui, and when the two talk Sasuke. I've looked some of them up and the one I used is my favorite.
