Piemania

Even though yesterday was quite eventful, what with kaze scratching sesshomaru's face and everyone finding out what itachi does, no one found a reason to discontinue sweets week. I mean c'mon, just because Santa went out and decided to gamble, doesn't mean Christmas should be cancelled should it? Yeah, my point exactly.

Anyway, Roni didn't make any thing big this time…no, I'm kidding she made pie!

Apples, blue berry, coconut cream, cherry, lemon meringue, and the list goes on. Oh, and let's not forget a special chocolate pie. Chocolate filling, chocolate whipped cream, topped off with one lone chocolate strawberry at the top.

"So what happened yesterday?" Delilah asked, a mouthful of chocolate pie in her mouth. She was asleep when everyone came in. She and the children were all sprawled out on the pull out couch along with her. She knew that something bad obviously happened because sesshomaru wouldn't be in the living room and itachi wouldn't have slept in jade's room. Deidara didn't want to wake her, so he silently picked her up and put her in his bed while sesshomaru slept with his kids. Deidara put his slice of apple pie back on his plate and told her everything, being that he forgot to turn on the tape recorder she gave him.

Delilah listened, her mouth open at what everyone told her. Man, she really wished she was there to see the look on Itachi's and Sesshomaru's faces. She'd almost be sad had it not been so funny.

"So yami didn't say anything, like she just walked off?" Delilah asked as she fed her daughter some apple sauce, unfortunately they won't be able to participate in sweets week. Tenshi just shook her head.

"Yep, she said absolutely nothing. Well, minus the threat." Tenshi said. Kakuzu looked thoughtfully at his wife.

"Would you ever get mad at me like that?" tenshi shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.

"Who knows?" Daikirai chuckled.

"You better hope not, tenshi has very bad anger problems, I'll be a miracle if you come out alive in one of her arguments." Tenshi glared at her sister.

"I do not have anger issues! People like you just piss me off!" she yelled.

"And that makes me believe you without a shadow of a doubt." Everyone laughed as tenshi's cheeks burned red hot from anger.

"yeah ten, nobody really cares about your problems, so if you and Daikirai would just shut up so I can listen…"

"Listen to what?" Everyone turned to the familiar voice in the doorway. Yami stood in the threshold, awaiting their answer to her question.

"Um…well we were…listening to what Daikirai was saying. Daikirai, wanna elaborate?" tenshi asked. Daikirai glared at her sister momentarily before looking around, and then she found her victim.

"I think zahara can. She was always the smartest." It was zahara's turn to glare but she quickly recovers by stuffing vast amounts of pie in her mouth. She pointed to her cheeks, signaling that she was unable to talk. Yami waved her hand dismissively before coming towards a chair to sit next to tobi and kisame (whom I totally forgot)

"It's okay; I already knew what you guys were talking about." The girls looked at her sympathetically. Kimiko leaned over her husband to rub yami's back.

"Then why did you ask us what we were talking about?" yasmina asked as she took another piece of pumkin pie. yami sighed.

"Because I thought it would make me feel better to see you all choke on your pie. it didn't" yami said sadly.

"It's okay hunny. We're sorry for medaling, and talking about it, we won't say anything about it any more…Delilah." Everyone looked to the house hold trouble maker, although she has been currently out of action for almost a year, that doesn't mean she won't make a turn for the worst, when they have their guards down.

"What! I would never intentionally hurt my sister. Yami if you don't want me to talk about it then I won't…unless you wanna talk about it, then I'll be right here." Everyone glared at Delilah before eating their pie.

Suddenly things turned for the worst.

Itachi decides to stroll in for pie.

No one thought that yami would say anything to her husband. But they were all surprised.

"Oh yes, the day can begin, good morning sleepy head!" The room just got a little tenser.

"Well, would you look at the time, you know I totally forgot we have to do something…" everyone narrowed their eyes at the akatsuki mistress.

"Where are we going?" zahara asked.

"Somewhere that's not here." Roni answered and with that everyone left itachi alone.

Yami waited for everyone to leave to turn to itachi. It was as if a new found anger decided to creep into her system. She really was tired yesterday and did really have the energy to argue, although she was ready to argue before she got there, it was like she felt numb.

But now, that wasn't the case anymore. All he felt throughout her system was red hot anger pulsing through every fiber of her being.

And itachi was about to get the full brunt of it.

"So, we can do this one of two ways, I can bust those balls of steel now, or I can rip them off and spread them out throughout the course of the day." Itachi inwardly flinched at the icy tone in her voice, but he made no move to show it.

"Yami…"

"I wanna know why you didn't tell me, why did you think that it was so dire to keep something from me?"

"I didn't think that it was all that important. Besides you don't need to know everything that I do and I told you that already."

He could've ripped out his own traitorous tongue. Why did he say that?

Yami narrowed her eyes as she slowly stood up from her chair.

"Excuse me?" itachi fought the urge to get up and leave.

"Who in the FUCK do you think you are? If I have to tell you everything, then you will damn sure do the same. I have never hid anything from you. Ever. I've never had the urge to do so and if I did, I would still tell, at the slight chance that you would find out." Now that was something itachi didn't believe.

"So I know everything about you yami? There is nothing that you haven't told me?"

"What, you think I'm lying to you? Sorry Uchiha, I may be a lot of things but I'm no liar." Itachi was silent. That wasn't really what he asked for but it did make him feel kinda guilty for what he did.

But that doesn't mean he'll show it.

"Why are you making such a big deal out of this? Okay, you've told me some things, but I refuse to believe that you have not lied to me before. You're overreacting again and I haven't done anything wrong." Itachi ducked, barley avoiding the fireball of promised death aimed at his head.

"you haven't done anything wrong. So you're right for lying to me and going with sesshomaru everyday. I must be the one in the wrong then, maybe kaze and I should be apologizing to you and sesshomaru." Yami said as she hurled another fireball in his direction. That one almost caught Itachi's cloak, but he stomped it out, along with the other, both leaving nasty black spots on the kitchen floor.

"You are seriously lucky the red I see is fucking up my aim because I would burn you to a fuckin' crisp right now!" yami yelled. Itachi was still silent. And that only served to make her even more upset.

"You listen to me and you listen good Uchiha. We've been married 3 years. And in those years, I have told you things that were nothing but the truth. Never have I kept anything from you. Do you know why? Because I respect our relationship as husband and wife. And if you were to tell me anything, I'll believe you until I'd find out otherwise. It's not the fact that you told me you were an only child, and it's not the fact that you go out with sesshomaru every morning and come back every evening. The shit that gets me is that you are keeping things from me."

Yami's voice suddenly got softer. her throat was starting to get tight as she hld in the tears. "And it makes me think. If you're keeping this from me…what else is there that you're not telling me?" yami turned away from her husband, not wanting him to see the traitorous tear slip down her cheek. Yami quickly wiped it away and covered her mouth to keep the upcoming sob in her throat.

Itachi wanted to comfort her, he really did, but he was frozen there. he has never seen yami shed one tear the whole time they have been together, aside from him asking her to be his wife and the day of the wedding. The truth was that he didn't know how to comfort. Comfort was not in the vocabulary of the Itachi Uchiha dictionary.

But the word copy was. When he cried (before his tear ducks dried to the point where they couldn't be used anymore) his mother comforted his by hugging him and patting the stroking the top of his head. So he went up to yami slowly and turned her around so he could see her face.

Even in the state she was in, she was absolutely beautiful. Her lip trembled just slightly. The black that just started to bleed from the sides of her eyes was now disappearing to reveal the big chocolate brown eyes he secretly loved. It hurt to see them welled with tears. Itachi sighed deeply before speaking.

"I'm sorry. I don't know why I kept it from you. It was the first thing that came to my mind. I should've put you're feelings first."

"What would've happened if you got hurt or injured and I wouldn't have known where you were? What would I have told jade huh? Didn't you think that she would be devastated had I told her that her tachi wouldn't be coming home? Did you think about that after you're first thought? And don't say that you can't be injured because we can go and ask Sasuke about that right now." Pang. That hit a nerve. Itachi stepped away from yami so she could see his narrow angry eyes. Yami just gave him a defiant 'I dare you to say something else' eyebrow.

"What? Are you upset? What's the big bad Uchiha gonna do to me?" itachi kept his eyes narrowed; yami was just about to taunt him again when everything went dark.

And no, he didn't hit her. The taste of pie told her that much. Yami took the pan off her face to look at her husband with shocked and confused eyes.

"You…did you just…throw pie in my face?" itachi just smirked at her. It didn't really register in her mind but the smirk in her face made it worse. She picked up the closest pie to her and went slowly towards itachi. Itachi tried to calm her down, but it was too late. Yami threw the pie and itachi ducked, barley missing him.

"hey, what' going…" yami and Itachi's eyes widened as they turned to see Yasmina as she pried a pie pan off her face.

"Yas…it wasn't my fault...Itachi threw a pie and…" yami tried to explain as Yasmina went to get another pie off the kitchen counter and turned to her sister. Yasmina went up to yami slowly and arched her arm back but was surprised when yami pied itachi in the face. Everyone just arrived in the kitchen, seeing their pie faced sister and comrade and couldn't help but laugh.

"You think this is funny?" yami said. Suddenly everyone stopped. Then out of nowhere, pies flew everywhere. There was no where to run or hide. All that wonderful pie had gone to waste on someone's face in that room. Even the akatsuki children weren't spared. As soon as jade came into the kitchen, Delilah found that opportunity to pie her. Sayuki and Daisuke only had small smudges of pie on their faces.

Then finally, after about an hour of pie fighting, the akatsuki went to clean up and yami went to go talk to the demon lord.
