Nothing

"Sticky buns!" Delilah yelled as she clapped her hands merrily as Roni laid another tray of freshly baked sticky buns on the table. And just like the cheesecake yesterday, there was a whole variety of them. Glazed, raisins, nuts, and Delilah's custom made chocolate sticky bun. And when I say chocolate I mean the whole bun was chocolate, chocolate filled and with chocolate fudge as the topping. And Roni made her a whole tray full of them.

"So you're not gonna share with your own husband?" deidara said as he saw his wife ravish her sticky buns in a very unladylike manner. Delilah looked up from her second sticky bun, to stare at deidara with a sympathetic look.

"Oh, hunny don't worry. I won't be sharing with the kids either." Everyone rolled their eyes. Roni chuckled at her son in law.

"I knew this was going to happen, and that's why I made you and my grandchildren two trays for yourself." Roni said as she brought another batch of buns in front of him and the twins. Deidara looked at his wife smugly, sticking his tongue out at her glaring face before stuffing a chocolate bun in his mouth. The twins did the same, thinking that it was okay since daddy did it.

Everyone sat down and talked until yami and itachi came downstairs.

"Hey you guys. What you both so long?" zahara said before taking a bite of her glazed sticky bun.

"We just decided to stay in bed." Yami said as she latched onto a very unhappy Itachi's arm. Well, that was at least what yami thought. On the inside, itachi was grinning. Yeah, he called sesshomaru and told him he wasn't going to be able to make it…now that yami was up. But he told them to come later when he turned his magic on. Then he'd be able to leave.

But he'll give her this day, it wasn't like she'll ever find out what he's doing. He is Itachi Uchiha after all. Kaze hasn't found out what sesshomaru's doing, and he doubts she ever will. Kaze is a bright woman, she obviously is, or else sesshomaru wouldn't have chosen her to be his mate if she wasn't, but he doesn't think she'll find out. She and yami may be suspicious but they'll never find out. Kaze would find out on her own, but she's too busy with soren, samara, and rin and her job as being the lady of a castle and yami is too short tempered to figure things out. So let them be suspicious, because that's as close as they'll get to the truth.

"Itachi?" itachi was broken from his slick thoughts to turn to yami, a hint of a smirk on his face. Yami narrowed her eyes but started to speak anyway.

"You ready to go upstairs and do nothing?" she asked. Itachi glared which only made her smile and take it as a yes. So yami said goodbye, took one of each sticky bun and went upstairs with her husband to do…nothing.

And nothing is exactly what they did. Absolutely nothing. All yami and itachi have been doing for the past 5 hours was stare at each other. Itachi fidgeted nervously under yami's intense gaze as she asked him what was wrong in a sickingly sweet voice. Other than that, which was about 3 hours ago, there was no talking, no sudden movements. The only time they did something was either to go to the bathroom.

It was just like detention.

Marriage detention.

And yami was the teacher.

Itachi suddenly got an idea, but was careful not to let it show. He stood up and announced he was using the bathroom. Yami nodded and he left. As soon as he outside, he took out the cell phone Roni gave him for missions. She thought that cell phones were more efficient than having to jump here and poof there all the time. Itachi took out his cell phone; strolled down and found the number he was looking for.

"Hello?" said a feminine voice on the other end.

"Kaze? It's itachi. How are you?"

"Oh hi itachi, I'm just fine, trying to take care of these monsters, sesshomaru calls kids. How's yami?" she asked.

"She's fine. Is sesshomaru there?"

"Sure, hold on, I'll get him for you…" itachi waited for about two minutes for kaze to yell out sesshomaru's name and for him to answer.

"hello." He stated.

"sesshomaru. I need a favor to ask." Itachi said.

Silence

"sesshomaru?" itachi said.

"yes." sesshomaru drawled on the other line.

"did you hear me, I said I needed a favor."

"oh, I heard you, what I didn't hear was 'hello sesshomaru.'"

Itachi sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Hello sesshomaru." Itachi stated.

"Why hello itachi, and how is the wife and kid?"

"I don't have time to answer, I need you to come over here and get me." He could almost feel sesshomaru's eyes narrow.

"And you want me to get you…why?" he asked.

"Because I'm about to leave."

"But you said you're spending the day with yami."

"I just need you to come over here. And if yami's still up, just wait outside and make a sound or something that tells me you're here." Sesshomaru sighed, but answered.

"Okay, but I'm going to have to bring some people with me. We were going to without you but I guess we'll stop over at your house." Itachi smirked and said his goodbyes and hung up.

When he went back in his room, yami was still where he left her. Sitting down, staring into space.

"That was an awful long time in the bathroom, hope you didn't fall in." itachi resisted the urge to roll his eyes as he went to sit across from yami.

When he settled in a nice seated position, he put his plan in effect.

Itachi suddenly stifled a yawn and another right after the first. Yami saw, and yawned herself.

"C'mon stop before you start to make me yawn." Yami said as itachi yawned again, no trying to hold it back. Itachi suddenly stretched, yawning again. It seems every time itachi yawned or stretched, yami would suddenly get droopier. Suddenly a weird sound came from the window.

"Coo-coo, coo-coo." Itachi narrowed his eyes, thinking it was some bird at the window, and yawned again. Yami's eyes suddenly got heavier as she resisted the urge to shut them completely. Suddenly itachi heard a different sound.

"Caaaw-Caaaw." The sound was slightly higher pitched than the last bird, but itachi ignored it and yawned again. Yami yawned again, and decided to lie down for a little while on Itachi's lap. And yet another sound came.

"Skwaak-Skwaak." Itachi turned to his window, seeing no birds so he looked down at yami and started to pet her head as she dozed off. Suddenly another sound came, but this time it wasn't a bird.

"ITACHI!" itachi snapped his head to the window, and yami's head shot up from Itachi's lap.

"W…What was that?" yami asked sleepily. Itachi shushed and cooed until her eyes finally closed and looked at his window to sesshomaru shaking someone rather hard and pointing his clawed finger in their face. He couldn't read his lips but what sesshomaru did say was 'if she wakes up, you're going to be the one to put her back to sleep.' Itachi looked from the window down to his now sleeping wife. He gently picked her head up off his lap and went to the closet to get his cloak. He quietly put on his shoes and opened his window and finally snuck out of the akatsuki headquarters for the night.
