A/N: Alrighty so here's the next chapter!! Sorry it took so long! I just didn't know what exactly I wanted to make happen. So anyway, hope you enjoy!!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto just Kaya.

I tried to keep my breathing even as I scanned the room I was in. With despair and complete confusion, I realized this was my room from home! But how could that be?! Unless……

No! I won't think that! I closed my eyes tightly, not wanting to see what my gut was telling me was real. Was everything that happened to me….a dream? But if it was a dream….then why did my body feel sore? And everything had felt so real! There's no way it was a dream!

It was then I remembered something. Itachi! I looked to the spot beside me with a little hope, but unfortunately it quickly deflated into sadness. The space was empty. The only person in the bed was me. I put the picture frame back down, deciding that I needed to investigate a little more.

I got out of bed and walked over to my door, opening it slowly so I could peek out. Looking down the hall, I realized everything was the same from my house. Nothing had changed. I heard banging around coming from downstairs, and quietly made my way out of my room and down the hall.

When I got to the bottom of the stairs, I quietly walked over to the kitchen and stopped in the doorway, not entirely sure why I wasn't happy.

"Ah well good morning sleepy head!" my mom said smiling from in front of the stove. It looked like she was making breakfast.

"You slept in late today. Are you feeling ok?" my dad asked from the table, looking up from his paper.

I stared at them, confused as to what was going on. Shouldn't they be franticly asking me where I was all this time? Or yelling because I was gone for so long? Neither of them acted like I ever left. Then a thought hit me.

"What's today's date?" I asked quietly, still not sure which emotion I should feel.

"It's September 20th dear." My mom answered. "Now what would you like for breakfast?"

I stared at my mom, my eyes widening, ignoring her question. So I was right. Even though all that time passed in the Naruto world, no time at all had passed here. Maybe…..it all was just a dream. A very very vivid dream…..

Meanwhile, at the Akatsuki Headquarters……

"Hey Kaya! Breakfast is ready, un!" Deidara called, knocking on the girls door. After a few seconds of getting no answer, he knocked again. "Kaya! Breakfast! Are you up, un?" Again he got no answer. Deidara sighed and opened the door slowly, peeking around the corner. "Kaya?"

But when he looked in, there was no one there. Deidara glanced around the room, but didn't see his friend anywhere.

"Huh….that's weird, un…." He said quietly.

"DEIDARA-SENPAI!! DEIDARA-SENPAI!!" Tobi yelled running up to his teammate.

Deidara sighed annoyed, and turned to the boy. "What is it Tobi, un?"

"Deidara-senpai! Itachi is gone!" Tobi said franticly and Deidara's eyes widened.

"Gone? Where?"

Tobi shrugged. "No one can find him!! Everyone looked all over but he's not here!!"

Deidara crossed his arms thoughtfully. "Kaya isn't here either, un." He sighed, "Well, I guess I'll go let the others know and we'll start looking for them, un."

As he walked off, Tobi watched him go. Underneath the orange mask, an evil smirk crossed his features. Search all you want. You won't find them. He thought before turning and walking off in the opposite direction of his teammate.

Back with Kaya…..

"Is everything alright dear?" my mother asked concerned.

"Huh? Oh yes. Everything's fine." I said trying to fake a smile. It didn't look like either of them were buying it, seeing as how they gave each other looks.

I sighed and looked at the floor, still not sure what to make of all this. I really didn't want to believe that everything was just a dream, even though I was having a strong feeling that it was.

"Kaya what's going on…." The voice trailed off, as my mother and father both looked behind me, their eyes widening. I however, had frozen, since I wasn't expecting to hear that voice again anytime soon. Well, not unless I turned on my t.v.

I slowly looked up at the person beside me, who was staring at my parents just as confused as they were staring at him.

"Um….Kaya?" my mother said uncertainly. "Who is this young man?"

"Yes. Who is he and what is he doing here so early in the morning?" my father asked angrily, glaring at Itachi, who just glared back.

I gulped. What was Itachi doing here?! I took a deep breath, knowing that I had to keep my calm, so I could be alone with Itachi. We definitely needed to talk. Though I wasn't sure if I was just hallucinating or not.

"Um, this is my boyfriend, Itachi. Itachi, these are my parents." I said faking happiness.

"Well then it's nice to meet you Itachi!" my mom said smiling. "Are you hungry?"

Itachi stared at her, and I sighed. I had to love my mom. She was so easy-going, I never understood how her and my dad went so well together. And with that said, my father of course wasn't as laid-back about this.

"You never told us you had a boyfriend. And you still didn't tell us why he's here." my dad said angrily.

"Well you see, Itachi is visiting from…..Japan!" I said, making this stuff up as I went. "And he doesn't have a place to stay so I said he could stay here. If that's alright with you of course." I added as an afterthought, just to try and get on his good side.

"Japan huh?" my dad said, looking Itachi up and down. Itachi was wearing just a pair of pants, so of course his bare chest wasn't helping my situation. "So….how did you two meet?"

"Uh……online?" I said, though it sounded more like a question. My dad glared at me, but before he could say anything else, my mother spoke up.

"Oh just leave them alone Tom. Why does it matter where they met?" my mom said smiling. She looked at us then stopped on Itachi, her expression changing. "Though he does look sort of familiar……were you ever on t.v.?"

My eyes widened and I grabbed Itachi's hand. "Well I just came down to see if you two were ok so we're going to go back upstairs now ok?" I started pulling Itachi away but my mom stopped me.

"Are you not hungry? I've made some bacon and eggs."

"No we're good for now. Thanks!" I said smiling at her before quickly pulling Itachi upstairs with me. I was very much confused right now. If I was home, then what was Itachi doing here? And did that mean that everything wasn't a dream after all? If I thought about this anymore, my brain was probably going to explode.

A/N: Sorry this wasn't as long as some of my other chapters. But I thought this was a good place to end it. Anyway, I'm not sure if I should end this soon or not. Since it's getting close to 40 chapters. So what do you guys think? Do you like long stories, or should I find some way to end it? Well, let me know and review please!!
