Mesa no own anything.
Seito: Here's the next chapter. Aren't I a fast writer? (Seika: You had this done weeks ago. It just took so long for ch5 to get back to you, so you couldn't post it. You're nearly done with ch8.) =Whine= Seiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkkkaaaaaaa you're not supposed to tell them that. (Seika: =grin= I live to torture you.) I've noticed.
You people are the best. 58 reviews. That's a lot of reviews. Oh and guess what Seika.
Seika: I don't really want to but... What?
Seito: It seems we will have to ( actually it we can) paired up you with Itachi. Or at least have some fluff with you two. 4 votes yes, 1 vote no. YAY! More fluff!
Seika: O.O NANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seito: =cowers= scary Seika. Umm... before I get myself killed. Um... reviews. Yes... must reviews before I get killed.
To Naruke
Goddess? No, no, no, no. I'm anything but I goddess. Just you're average inexperience authoress who slightly insane in the head. Yeah. What did Shikamaru say? Hey at least you can play something. Me? I'm stuck with a clarinet. Sure the songs my bands are somewhat good and all but I really stink. 3rd seat 3rd section with only 3 people behind me, that's pretty bad. Before it was 2nd section 2nd to last seat with a whole another 20 people behind in 3rd section. But then again it was also a bigger band back then. Hehe. Wah! You're out of school already?! I'm the only one here still stuck with another 2 weeks of school left?! Life is so not fair.
To Your lord and master Cantido
What an interesting penname. I'm glad you like it. As for the long name what can I say? I love the Japanese language. (it's a pain to learn it school but gotta love it) Even if I were to give it English the title would be just as long (or longer). I wanna a flag too. I love long reviews so don't worry about it. If you think the school is weird now... well let's just say you haven't seen weird yet. =Grin= (Seika: Yes this insanity is all in her mind and she keeps adding more =reads notes= I'm going to kill her.) =Plots= Oh and about the whole Jiraiya/Seika/Itachi thing no. Seika is really getting a C [now a B], Jiraiya needs reading glasses, and Itachi was at the wrong place at wrong time. It was a good guess though. Even if Itachi was do that, he had no reason to. =Whispers= He doesn't realize he's in love yet. Neither does Seika. (Seika: I'm going to hurt you!!) Eep!!
To Dragon Pearl1
Thank you for becoming my beta reader!!
To Watermelon Gal
=Giggle= I take that as a yes you want that pairing.
To Kaiou-hime
Waiiiii!!!!!!!! I did it!! I did it!!!!!! =hugs her white tiger stuff animal that took her 7 tries to win and is named after a certain favorite Beyblade character= Seika: Who gave her sugar. =blink= NANI?! She found the cookies. Damnit! I'm going to have to over for a while since my creator is "preoccupied". There reason why she's so happy is that she made you laugh and smile. (even without all that sugar she ate) It's always been her goal to make people laugh and smile or to feel whatever she's trying to write (If it's sad the reader should feel sad, ect). Yeah the fact that you were smiling and laughing makes her feel she's accomplish something. Though she should be writing for herself, she rather writes what for the people. (it's just how her mind works) That's way she's happy when you people review and say she did a good job and gets sad when people flame. It's also the reason why she asks you people what you want time to time. She said: "There are a few more hints of HakuxZabuza in the story but not in this chapter. Sorry." =Seito glomps Seika= Seito: She doesn't think you're a Mary-sue character. YAY! Seika: She's also likes it when people say I'm not a Mary-sue character but don't be afraid to tell her if I am becoming one. And why aren't you hugging your stupid tiger and being hyper?
Seito: O.O Rei isn't stupid. =Holds out Rei her white tiger= Now say sorry.
Seika: Why should I?
Seito: Cause I said so. If not I'll post 'Kuro to Shiro no Kiga'
Seika: You wouldn't.
Seito: I would. =thinking= 'Even if you don't say sorry I will. That is if I manage to get it done.'
Seika: =Holds the Rei.= Sorry Rei. (Seito: YAY! =goes back to hugging her tiger and hyper.)
Seito: To prendingtobesane
Yes revenge on the make-believe characters!! (Seiji: Can I hurt you're creator? Seika: Go right a head. But only if I can hurt yours. Seiji: Deal) Demo, Seiji I pair up people who are the same sex =points to the room were Sasuke and Naruto are kissing= does that make me a hentai too? =blinks innocently= (Seika: Seiji do me a big favor and don't corrupt my creator any more then she already is. Seiji: Huh? Seika: Why do you think she can only write fluff. She's never been in love before and only knows by what she sees and hears. Seiji: Oh.)
Hey it's SEIji, SEIto, and SEIka we all start with SEI. Cool. What are you talking two talking about? (Seika&Seiji: Nothing.) =blink= (Seika: I'll trade place with you any day. Seiji: Trust me you don't want to be with PTBS. Seika: better PTBS then Seito. You have no idea what she does. Seiji: It can't be worse then PTBS. Seika: Does using every damn single classic or not classic scenario used to pair me up with Itachi ring a bell? Seiji: All over them. Seika: Whichever ones she can think of in her insane mind and pack into one story. Yeah. Seiji: You can keep her. Seika: Damnit.) Seiji being a demi-god isn't that bad. (Hotaru: At least you're not a angel of death and life Seito: Hotaru! Again go back to 'Never Sleep, Never Die' Hotaru: But you don't have a sequel to that story. There's nothing to do. What am I supposed to do? Float around all day. Seito: Um... yes?)
Okay this answer is getting long. Umm... Yes one of us should invest in looking into anger management classes for our OCs. Seika going to kill me one day. (Seika: =reading notes with Seiji.= What?!!! A school dance!!!!!!!!!!) =grabs the notes and hides= I sense plenty of hostility here. Lots of it. Seiji don't worry about doing insane. Everyone is insane deep down inside. Only everyone hides it. Right PTBS? =Grin= Beside you can always go insane with Seika here. =Points to a furious Seika whose ready to kill her creator= I dunno how I'm going to stay alive here.
To La/=/er
Thanks for proof reading the chapter. I'll explain Seika's grade later. But hey. Just cause Naruto got the princess doesn't mean he's playing the princess part. In fact I'm not sure whose playing what part any more. The only people who didn't swap places was Kakashi and Iruka. I think. Then again I'm pretty sure everyone played the princess part except for Sasuke and possibly Kakashi. Dunno. Still writing chapter 8. =Gai comes running through the notes wearing the evil queen outfit.= Damnit. GAI!! You're going to spoil chapter 8!! Cliché and not cliché, I take predictable situations and turn them unpredictable. I think...Hope you did well on your test.
To Black myst
Okay. For once I'm not going to listen to a reviewer but sorry I guess the fluff is happening. But there's one thing I must ask cause I stupid or something (That or I haven't come across whoever he or she is). But who is hagane kotstsu?
To Kuroi Kitsune13
Okay I must be stupid. But only now I realized that your name means black fox. (Seika: Someone hasn't been paying attention to her Japanese sensei) =glares at Seika= Anyways I'm sooooooooooooooooo sorry I didn't sent you this chapter. I just wanted to post it really bad. (There was no way I was going to be 3 chapter a head of what I posted.) So calm down. I promise you I'll sent you 'Kuro to Shiro no Kiga' IF and WHEN I get it done. As for what the heck is 'Kuro to Shiro no Kiga' Well let's keep that a secret for now. If I don't give you that, then I'll give you the next chapter first. I'll sent it to both emails. By the way did you change it? I was sending it to a kitsune13 or something. Don't worry I'll change the emails anyways.
To all the other reviewers
THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING.
Seito: Okay =still hugging Rei. The sugar somewhat going away= Now to clear a few other things.
To my beta readers. Okay to speed up chapter posting over chapter. I'm going to try something different. Instead of sending it to all four of you, only 2 will get the chapter. After that the next chapter only the other 2 will get it. Ex: If I sent chapter 7 Kuroi Kitsune13 and Dragon Pearl1 first then, The La/=/er and Purim will get chapter 8 the next time, ect. Okay?
Seika: Now how on earth was I getting a 79.9 in the last chapter.
Seito: You failed your test. See on the part that had the most points, Itachi was bugging (he was already done) so every other sentence said "I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him." Jiraiya had to give a bad grade cause it had nothing to do with the essay you were supposed to be writing.
Seika: Is that so? =Leaves the notes=
Seito: Hey? Where are you going? ITACHI RUN!!!

Having the main character part in the school play isn't all that fun. Especially when your boyfriend's fan group is after your blood. Then when your classmate walks in on you and your boyfriend "practicing" the final scene, things get a little messy. Luckily your roommate and boyfriend's brother cover for you. Sadly, that doesn't stop rumors from flying and all of them far from the truth. Then rumors about your roommate and your boyfriend's brother have somehow started. Anger is a problem your roommate deals with and suddenly one can feel very sorry for your boyfriend's brother...

[Everybody has their chains
Sometimes it's like it never seems
Natural wish for change of reality
But if you feel you had enough
Don't you think of giving up
There's no mountain you can't climb
One step at a time
All that you needed
Was there all the time]
It's been nearly a week since the first play meeting. Bodily harm, arguments, and all sorts of things had already happened. The only people who were still objecting were Sasuke's fan group about Naruto's part as princess. Naruto had spent the next week hiding for his life. Yes, it was very scary for Naruto. He NEVER wanted to see those rabid fan girls again. Although it seems fate is against him as he always seem to run into those stupid girls. So it's no surprise to find out that Naruto is hiding from those fan girls this sunny day.

"There you are."
Naruto opened his eyes to find himself looking into onyx eyes. "Hi Sasuke," he said cheerfully. Once again Naruto was on top of the school relaxing. Today was a cool day as a light breeze blew today. There were many clouds in the sky, often blocking out the sun for many minutes before moving away to reveal the rays once again. A blue bird took flight in the blue sky above, singing its beautiful song.
Naruto laid down on the rooftop. Yes, it was his safe spot. No scary fan girls to worry about up here. It was no surprise that Sasuke was here. Ever since last week Monday, every lunch hour the two boys sat up here enjoying the scenery.
The blond switched his position so that he was now sitting in Sasuke's lap. Sasuke didn't mind, in fact he enjoyed it. Sasuke nuzzled his face in Naruto's locks. Hmm... Naruto smelled really sweet.
"No fan girls today," asked Naruto. Sasuke shook his head. Nope not a single fan girl yet. Perhaps fate was smiling upon them today. Of course then that usually curses their luck. They should be expecting to be running for their life after school.
"Why am I not surprised?"
Both quickly snapped around, scrambling out of their position, fearing it was one of their classmates. They found Seika instead. "Seika what are you doing here," asked Sasuke, slightly annoyed that he was interrupted. She shrugged. "I wandered here. I used to come up here when I was in junior high so I came back. I'm not surprised you two stumbled across it," she said. "Though you really should lock the door or something." Anyone could come up here."
"Don't you have to get back to class," asked Naruto.
Seika scowled. "Yeah right." The teacher comes in so late; we have about 5 minutes of class left."
===
Downstairs a certain silver hair man teacher sneezed, leaving his lover wondering if his boyfriend was catching a cold.
===
"Since the two of you are up here, I'll leave you two alone," said Seika. She left the rooftop right after that. The school campus was quite big. There were others places she wandered to. Looked like she could cross out junior high rooftop though. Seika doubted she'd be able to go back up there. Naruto and Sasuke seem to have taken a liking to this hiding place. Shoot, she was running out of hiding places.
Sasuke returned to burying his face in Naruto's hair, absentmindedly playing with it in his fingers. Naruto didn't say much, content with lying in Sasuke's lap. Above the bird's song continued to play.

"WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Naruto and Sasuke's eyes snapped to the door to reveal a stunned and horrified Sakura. Both looked at their position before blushing. They were about to kiss before Sakura walked in on them.
=Flashback=
Both boys were waiting quietly in the classroom. Those err... girls were roaming nearby looking for them. Naruto and Sasuke decided that they should practice while they waited for the school to clear out of those girls before heading to Naruto's house. So they took out their script and began to rehearse.
"Shall we practice the last scene," questioned Naruto. A small smirk made its way onto Sasuke's face. He knew what the last scene was. "Sure why not," he said.
Final scene: prince finds princess; prince kisses princess; princess wakes up; and then the end. Naruto and Sasuke got to the part, prince finds princess. Just as Sasuke was about to lean over and kiss Naruto, heard a loud, "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
=End of Flashback=
"Haruno what are you doing here," demanded Sasuke. Naruto in his mind, began to weave a very long and complicated story incase she asked.
"S-S-Sasuke-kun," started Sakura. Her normally brilliant mind was numb as she stumbled to form complete sentences. All she was doing was searching the school for her beloved Sasuke-kun and she walks into a classroom to find Naruto trying to kiss her crush. Anger began to course its way through Sakura. "NARUTO," she yelled. She began to stomp towards Naruto.
"It's not what it looks like," said Naruto, trying to defend himself. Sakura didn't hear him, too blinded by her anger. Sasuke made a movement to help his boyfriend, but was stopped as a roll of paper lightly hit Sakura on her head. Sakura stopped, confused at what just hit her. She turned around to find Seika standing behind her. In her hand was her script rolled up.
"They almost had me convinced that time. Thank you for ruining it. Now they have to try again," said Seika.
"What are you talking about," asked Sakura. Behind, Naruto and Sasuke looked at her with puzzled and confused expressions. They didn't even see Seika come into the classroom. Seika let out a sigh. "They're practicing to see if they could make it look like they were kissing without actually having their lips touch. It looked realistic until you came barging in. I'm here to see if they could fool me and you're interrupting." Anger faded from Sakura. Yes, it did look realistic.
"Ah. Well if they can't fake, they could use tape."
Three of the four turned to find Itachi pop up next to Seika. "Tape," questioned Naruto. Itachi nodded. "I had to play the prince one year for the junior high play and the princess was some crazy guy. I didn't want to kiss the guy, so the night of the performance I had a piece of tape and I placed it over the guys mouth, leaned in close enough to make it look like that I kissed him, took the tape with me as I came back up and no one knew." Seika nodded in agreement. Then she realized whom she was agreeing with. She turned around, anger cross/marks appearing as she yelled, "WILL YOU STOP FOLLOWING ME AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Itachi had to cover his ears as Seika's voice continued to ring in his ears. Damn she could yell. Outside, one of Seika and Itachi's classmates, who was passing by, peered into the window to see a strange sight. Usuyuki and Uchiha talking (well it's more like arguing). Since when did they even know each other? How strange. That classmate darted off. That was an interesting little tidbit of information. It just so happens that the classmate was a girl, a girl who happens to love to gossip. Guess what will be top notch on the gossip wheel tomorrow morning?
Meanwhile on the other side of the door of the classroom, one of Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke's classmate was outside listening to the conversation. That classmate even saw the near kiss incident between Naruto and Sasuke. Oh dear, two sets of rumors were ready to launch tomorrow morning...

'Something's wrong here,' thought Seika. Ten minutes into class and she felt something was wrong. Actually the feeling that something was wrong had been hitting her since she walked onto the school campus this morning at 7. Iruka-sensei wasn't here yet, so Seika was just relaxing. Surprisingly Itachi hadn't done anything to her... yet.
Seika looked around the class. Anyone she made eye contact with immediately looked away or pretended that they didn't see Seika. Seika also saw a few people whispering and pointing at her. Yes, something was wrong here. The problem was, she didn't know what it was. All she knew was that it mostly likely involved her. As a loner, Seika avoided people, but when people started to avoid her like she was some kind of plague, there was something wrong.
Leaning back in her chair and folding her arms over her chest, she thought of the reasons why people would avoid her. Then something poked her on the head. Letting out a sigh, Seika lean her head back, knowing who the one responsible for poking her was. Sure enough, she was looking at the upside down face of Itachi. Her white hair fell off her shoulder and touched the ground. Her sapphire eyes were cold and uncaring. "What do you want," she asked.
"Do you know why people are whispering and pointing at you and me," he asked. Onyx eyes gleamed with curiosity and... something else Seika couldn't identify. "Does it look like I know," she answered dryly. She went back to brooding.

Naruto didn't quite understand the disgusting looks that everyone was giving him. He hadn't pulled a prank in over a month so there was no reason to glare at him. Naruto also noticed the looks sympathy sent towards Sasuke. Looking at his boyfriend, Naruto noted that Sasuke also noticed. He didn't get it. What had he done over the past days that everyone, mostly girls, would be glaring at him? Unless... It was because of yesterday. Someone else saw that near kissing incident and was now spreading rumors. Of course Sasuke would be the one everyone felt sorry for. He was the most popular boy on the campus and since Naruto was the loser of the school, he would be the one blamed for it. Naruto let out a groan and his upper body collapsed on his desk, his right arm off of it and his head resting on his left. 'Great, now everyone think I'm going to rape Sasuke,' thought Naruto. He began to dread the ending of the school. It meant that Sasuke's Fan Group would be out for blood, literally.
"What's wrong," asked Sasuke. Naruto let out another groan.
"I know why they're staring at us," muttered Naruto. "I think someone saw what Sakura saw yesterday but didn't hear Seika's explanation. So everyone thinks I'm going to rape you or something." Horror appeared on Sasuke's face. "Great," said Sasuke. "That means those stupid fan girls of mine will be after you today." Naruto nodded. He believed this was the first time in his life that he hoped school would NEVER end.

It was at lunch when Seika found out. To say she was pissed off would be a HUGE understatement. She had tracked down the rumor and found out that someone told the whole school that Itachi and she were DATING!! Seika didn't know who started this ridiculous rumor but when she found out, they were going to pay.
Seika didn't quite understand how people could believe that. She hated the older Uchiha. (Okay maybe not completely hated but greatly disliked.) She couldn't stand him and he was the one who was following her around. And speak of the devil himself, Seika just ran into the older Uchiha.
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT," she yelled at him. When she noticed that she was drawing stares from her classmates, she grabbed Itachi and headed towards an empty classroom ignoring the whispers among the crowd. Once inside of one, (apparently a few couples wanted =ahem= some 'alone' time) she continued her rant about how this was Itachi's fault until she was done. "Are you done," asked Itachi after she stopped. Seika nodded. "Well I take it you found out the reason why people were staring at us," he continued. Seika just glared at him. "So what is it," asked Itachi.
As soon as he asked, he regretted it. Swearing there was a murderous gleam in Seika's cold cerulean eyes, Itachi gulped nervously. He never thought there would be a time where he was terrified of a girl, much less Seika. "Oh it's nothing," Seika started out sweetly. 'A little too sweet,' thought Itachi. He was right as Seika's voice continued to rise as she finished her sentence, "Just the fact that the whole school is under the expression that we're DATING!!!!!" Itachi looked at Seika as if she had grown another head.
"What?!"
"You heard me," said Seika dangerously. "For some reason they think we're dating!"
"Are we?" asked Itachi. He was testing the bounds of Seika's anger, something very dangerous and stupid to do. Seika twitched. Many people had told her that she had inherited her mother's anger and it was only her training from martial arts when she was a child that kept her in control and away from strangling her classmate. "NO WE ARE NOT," she yelled.
Letting out a sigh and sinking into a nearby chair, Seika ran her hand through her long white bangs. She really should look into taking some anger management classes. Her normal meditation wasn't going help get rid of this stress she was feeling. Of course the question of whether Seika could even afford such classes rose in her mind. She rubbed her temples as she felt a headache coming on. What was she going to do? The whole school thought she was dating Itachi. Seika had a feeling that the peace and quiet she enjoyed so much in her life before this was going to disappear. Her life just took a turn down the chaos path.

Teacher: none

Date: Wednesday, March 27
Characters: Naruto, Sasuke, Sasuke's Fan Group
-----------------
Naruto quickly crouched at the corner of the hall. There were only ten feet and the school gardens separating him from home and freedom. So far he had been lucky. No sightings of the fan group yet, although Naruto knew they were lurking somewhere around here. Thank Kami-sama that they hadn't found out where he lived yet.
"What are you doing Naruto?" Naruto jumped up; startled by the voice before realizing it was Sasuke. "Sasuke. Don't do that. You scared the hell out of me. I thought it was one of those stupid fan girls of yours," said Naruto.
Sasuke merely smirked. "So that's what you are doing," he said. He looked around the corner. "It's clear," he said. Naruto sighed in relief. Just as the two made their way outside into the school gardens, there was a rumbling noise. They had been spotted.
"RUN!!!!!!!!"
Naruto and Sasuke took off into the school garden. They should be able to lose the girls in here, the maze of the gardens the boys were running through. They came across the edge of the Sakura trees as Naruto grabbed Sasuke and pulled him toward one of the green trees. "This way," he told his boyfriend.
Naruto then leaped up into the tree, something he had done with great practice. Sasuke followed Naruto up the tree. Apparently the top of the tree was bigger then it appeared to be. The branches spread out so wide it almost created a room. The green leaves created walls, hiding the boys from view as the branches seem to spread out to support the leaves and created a floor. There were two big pillows used as seats on the 'floor'. "What is this place," asked Sasuke. Naruto plopped himself onto one of the pillows.
"A hideout, I guess," said Naruto. "How do you find these places," asked Sasuke, running his hand over the smooth bark.
"I don't," said Naruto. "Seika does. You'll be surprised at what she'll do to get some peace and quiet around here. The only problem with this hideout is that by the time fall comes, everyone can see it, so we have to move these pillows until spring comes again."
"It's nice," said Sasuke taking a seat in the second pillow. "One more hideout to get away from those girls. Closer too. When does Seika find the time to find these places?"
Naruto shrugged. "Who knows? I've known her for 5 years and still don't understand her. Hell I don't even understand most girls anyways. The only thing I believe I understand about them is the reason they fell in love with you."
Sasuke smiled weakly. "Yeah, but I'd rather chose you over them any day."
Naruto smiled. A bird flew into the branches of the hideout, flapping its wings and singing its song before taking flight once more.
"Hopefully this whole thing will blow over by tomorrow," said Sasuke. He was referring to the whole rumor cycle. Naruto nodded. The last thing he need was to deal with those girls.

Characters: Naruto, Sasuke, Itachi and Seika
-----------------
When the coast was finally clear, Naruto and Sasuke headed towards Naruto's house to finish their project. They were almost done. It was no surprise, after all Sasuke is a genius. What's surprising is the fact that they weren't done with the project days ago. Probably spent too much alone time, that or playing video games.
Itachi showed up about half hour later. Lately he too had been making regular visits although Naruto and Sasuke were quite sure it wasn't because he was there to pick up Sasuke, but rather to annoy the hell out of Seika. He was doing a good job. When Seika saw him (she was already home before Sasuke and Naruto arrived there) she threw her plastic cup of water at him, soaking the older Uchiha. Then she locked herself in her room, seething in anger.
Sasuke got the feeling that for whatever reason Seika was angry, it had to do something with his brother. "Aniki, what did you do to Seika," asked Sasuke. His older brother stood soaking wet. His black hair was dripping wet as the carpet below him became damp. Itachi brushed his dark bangs out of his face so he could see before taking off his coat so it could dry. The water hadn't soak through his cloak, leaving his clothes underneath dry. "Why blame me," ask Itachi, not answering his brother question.
Sasuke shrugged. "Judging from Seika's reaction it must have been pretty bad."
"I had nothing to do with it this time, but she's convinced it was my fault. How could it be? I was there with her all the time," said Itachi in his defense.
"Why is it every time you come over, Seika always locks herself in her room," Naruto mused. "Does she not like you or something?"
Itachi let out a sigh. "I think it's something like that. She definitely doesn't enjoy my company."
"Getting Seika mad isn't the best thing to do if you want to live long," Naruto pointed out.
"I figured that out," commented Itachi.
=======
They were now in the final stages of translating. Itachi was helping the two younger boys with their translation. Or at least he was trying to. "Katana is sword in English right," asked Sasuke. Itachi scratched his head, trying to remember. As I said earlier, English and Video Games were not his strong point, genius or not. "Um... that should be right," said Itachi.
He was sitting with his younger brother and Naruto at the wooden fold-up floor table. Naruto was coloring the pictures of their book as Sasuke and Itachi worked on the translation. "So what's 'Katana-san wa ishi o ugokusou to shimashitakedo ugokemasendeshita."
"Umm... let's see," started Itachi.
"It should be 'Sword tried to move the rock but couldn't'. But since you're using Katana as a name, it could also be 'Katana tried to move the rock but couldn't'. That's about as close as you'll get."
The three in the room turned around to see Seika finally out of her room. She was carrying her darn textbook again. (Seito: Talk about bookworm. Seika: You should talk. The only difference is that you carry anime pictures and fanfiction stories. Seito: ...) "Thanks Seika," said Naruto.
She just shrugged and headed towards the kitchen to grab a drink. "You're slacking, Aniki," commented Sasuke. Seika came out of the kitchen carrying a cup of juice. "Seika can you help us with this project," asked Naruto. Seika stopped on her path to her room and headed towards the three boys. She took the book from Naruto and quickly began to read it. Seika stopped on one page and pointed to one of the sentences. "This sentence doesn't make any sense at all," she said.
Behind her, reading along with her, was Itachi. "Why," he asked. "It looks fine." Sasuke took the book from Seika and found the mistake and fixed while his older brother and Seika argued silently. "It made prefect sense," argued Itachi. "No it didn't," insisted Seika. The two continued to argue and Sasuke or Naruto would interrupt the conversation to tell Itachi that Seika was right. Finally Seika gave up, saying, "&You win. I give up, you idiot. For once you should just trust my answer.&"
Itachi blinked not understanding a single word that Seika just said. Before he could even asked she had left. So he decided to ask Naruto who knew Seika the longest, "Did she just speak fluently in English?"
Naruto nodded. "You should've listened to her. She doesn't speak fluently for nothing. English is the only subject in which she feels confident about her work."
"If she speaks fluently then why is she taking English classes," asked Itachi. Naruto shrugged. "Who knows? She's been speaking fluently ever since she moved to America."
'Seika's been to America? Why there,' wondered Itachi. He stored that little bit of information in his head.
=Seika's Room=
Seika wanted to scream. There was something about Uchiha Itachi that brought out the worse in her. Why didn't he just trust what she was saying?! English was the only course that Seika took where she didn't proofread her homework over 10 times. (She only reread English homework twice) Had she not spoken the languages fluently enough? It only took her two years to learn the language and another 5 years to continue to refine it.
Seika stopped. 5 years ago... Her eyes landed on the small picture that lay on the desk; a family portrait. A young Seika sat on the lap of a lady that looked exactly like her except her eyes were green whereas Seika's were blue. Behind the lady was a man with chocolate brown hair and the same blue eyes as Seika's. His semi-long chocolate brown bangs fell like Seika's snow white ones. Seika picked up the picture and stared at it for a while. Memories she thought she had buried years ago, returned to her.
She set the picture face down. That part of her life was gone; they were gone. She couldn't change the past and no one could change her new life. But in the mean time, it was all right to cry.
=Outside=
The three boys had dished out the video games and once again Itachi was losing, Sasuke was winning and Naruto was somewhere in between. Depending on ones point of view the night had been somewhat successful. "So Itachi, why is Seika so mad at you," asked Naruto curiously.
Itachi nearly choked on his ramen noodles. (Curtsey of Naruto's instant ramen cups. He cooked tonight) "It's nothing," he said. "From that reaction I think not," said Sasuke with his usual smirk. Itachi glared at his little brother.
"Well? We're waiting," said Sasuke. It wasn't often Itachi would get flustered over something small like the reason why Seika was mad at him. Sasuke figured it was because Itachi was annoying her again. "Err... well...um..." started Itachi.
"The whole school is under the expression that we're dating." For the second time that night, Seika interrupted Itachi. There was annoyed expression on her face but Itachi noticed her eyes were slightly red and puffy. 'You know just once I want to see her smile. Seika is always wearing a frown or in my case, an angry expression,' thought Itachi. If it wasn't any of those two, then it was a look of boredom.
Naruto and Sasuke on the other hand reacted differently.
"WHAT?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Seito: =Tying up Seika so she doesn't try and kill Itachi= Okay I hope you enjoy the chapter. The next chapter. We're taking a break from the school and its craziness and aiming for a semi-romantic night at the festival. That is if fan girls don't ruin it. Remember it will have VERY light ItachixSeika fluff. =Winking= (Seika: WHAT?!?!?!) But before you leave I wanna know how predictable I am. It's a small quiz. But don't go reporting me incase I'm not supposed to be doing this.
Tesuto
Chapter 7: At the festival, Seika is sitting on the grassy hill
reserving a spot. Itachi is with her. (Just leave the Number)
1= She ignores him
2= They just talk a little
3= Itachi asks if she wants to leave.
4= Seika says no but later says yes.
5= She sleeping on his shoulder
6= All of the above
Chapter 7: Sasuke is winning prizes for Naruto. Naruto gets what
prize?
1= A big fox
2= Ramen
3= Ramen and a small fox
4= A scarecrow keychain
5= Frogs
Does anyone know Itachi's birthday is? (Everyone answer whether or not if
they wanted SeikaxItachi fluff but not answer this question.)
Does anyone want any other pairings? No breaking of pairings though. And
not too many triangles. The ones that are permanent are Sasunaru,
Kakairu, HakuxZabuza, and Itaka [ItachixSeika]. Also remember there are
some pairings I just can't write. Sakura and Ino are one of them.
REVIEW!!!!
Seito: Here's the next chapter. Aren't I a fast writer? (Seika: You had this done weeks ago. It just took so long for ch5 to get back to you, so you couldn't post it. You're nearly done with ch8.) =Whine= Seiiiiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkkkkkaaaaaaa you're not supposed to tell them that. (Seika: =grin= I live to torture you.) I've noticed.
You people are the best. 58 reviews. That's a lot of reviews. Oh and guess what Seika.
Seika: I don't really want to but... What?
Seito: It seems we will have to ( actually it we can) paired up you with Itachi. Or at least have some fluff with you two. 4 votes yes, 1 vote no. YAY! More fluff!
Seika: O.O NANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seito: =cowers= scary Seika. Umm... before I get myself killed. Um... reviews. Yes... must reviews before I get killed.
To Naruke
Goddess? No, no, no, no. I'm anything but I goddess. Just you're average inexperience authoress who slightly insane in the head. Yeah. What did Shikamaru say? Hey at least you can play something. Me? I'm stuck with a clarinet. Sure the songs my bands are somewhat good and all but I really stink. 3rd seat 3rd section with only 3 people behind me, that's pretty bad. Before it was 2nd section 2nd to last seat with a whole another 20 people behind in 3rd section. But then again it was also a bigger band back then. Hehe. Wah! You're out of school already?! I'm the only one here still stuck with another 2 weeks of school left?! Life is so not fair.
To Your lord and master Cantido
What an interesting penname. I'm glad you like it. As for the long name what can I say? I love the Japanese language. (it's a pain to learn it school but gotta love it) Even if I were to give it English the title would be just as long (or longer). I wanna a flag too. I love long reviews so don't worry about it. If you think the school is weird now... well let's just say you haven't seen weird yet. =Grin= (Seika: Yes this insanity is all in her mind and she keeps adding more =reads notes= I'm going to kill her.) =Plots= Oh and about the whole Jiraiya/Seika/Itachi thing no. Seika is really getting a C [now a B], Jiraiya needs reading glasses, and Itachi was at the wrong place at wrong time. It was a good guess though. Even if Itachi was do that, he had no reason to. =Whispers= He doesn't realize he's in love yet. Neither does Seika. (Seika: I'm going to hurt you!!) Eep!!
To Dragon Pearl1
Thank you for becoming my beta reader!!
To Watermelon Gal
=Giggle= I take that as a yes you want that pairing.
To Kaiou-hime
Waiiiii!!!!!!!! I did it!! I did it!!!!!! =hugs her white tiger stuff animal that took her 7 tries to win and is named after a certain favorite Beyblade character= Seika: Who gave her sugar. =blink= NANI?! She found the cookies. Damnit! I'm going to have to over for a while since my creator is "preoccupied". There reason why she's so happy is that she made you laugh and smile. (even without all that sugar she ate) It's always been her goal to make people laugh and smile or to feel whatever she's trying to write (If it's sad the reader should feel sad, ect). Yeah the fact that you were smiling and laughing makes her feel she's accomplish something. Though she should be writing for herself, she rather writes what for the people. (it's just how her mind works) That's way she's happy when you people review and say she did a good job and gets sad when people flame. It's also the reason why she asks you people what you want time to time. She said: "There are a few more hints of HakuxZabuza in the story but not in this chapter. Sorry." =Seito glomps Seika= Seito: She doesn't think you're a Mary-sue character. YAY! Seika: She's also likes it when people say I'm not a Mary-sue character but don't be afraid to tell her if I am becoming one. And why aren't you hugging your stupid tiger and being hyper?
Seito: O.O Rei isn't stupid. =Holds out Rei her white tiger= Now say sorry.
Seika: Why should I?
Seito: Cause I said so. If not I'll post 'Kuro to Shiro no Kiga'
Seika: You wouldn't.
Seito: I would. =thinking= 'Even if you don't say sorry I will. That is if I manage to get it done.'
Seika: =Holds the Rei.= Sorry Rei. (Seito: YAY! =goes back to hugging her tiger and hyper.)
Seito: To prendingtobesane
Yes revenge on the make-believe characters!! (Seiji: Can I hurt you're creator? Seika: Go right a head. But only if I can hurt yours. Seiji: Deal) Demo, Seiji I pair up people who are the same sex =points to the room were Sasuke and Naruto are kissing= does that make me a hentai too? =blinks innocently= (Seika: Seiji do me a big favor and don't corrupt my creator any more then she already is. Seiji: Huh? Seika: Why do you think she can only write fluff. She's never been in love before and only knows by what she sees and hears. Seiji: Oh.)
Hey it's SEIji, SEIto, and SEIka we all start with SEI. Cool. What are you talking two talking about? (Seika&Seiji: Nothing.) =blink= (Seika: I'll trade place with you any day. Seiji: Trust me you don't want to be with PTBS. Seika: better PTBS then Seito. You have no idea what she does. Seiji: It can't be worse then PTBS. Seika: Does using every damn single classic or not classic scenario used to pair me up with Itachi ring a bell? Seiji: All over them. Seika: Whichever ones she can think of in her insane mind and pack into one story. Yeah. Seiji: You can keep her. Seika: Damnit.) Seiji being a demi-god isn't that bad. (Hotaru: At least you're not a angel of death and life Seito: Hotaru! Again go back to 'Never Sleep, Never Die' Hotaru: But you don't have a sequel to that story. There's nothing to do. What am I supposed to do? Float around all day. Seito: Um... yes?)
Okay this answer is getting long. Umm... Yes one of us should invest in looking into anger management classes for our OCs. Seika going to kill me one day. (Seika: =reading notes with Seiji.= What?!!! A school dance!!!!!!!!!!) =grabs the notes and hides= I sense plenty of hostility here. Lots of it. Seiji don't worry about doing insane. Everyone is insane deep down inside. Only everyone hides it. Right PTBS? =Grin= Beside you can always go insane with Seika here. =Points to a furious Seika whose ready to kill her creator= I dunno how I'm going to stay alive here.
To La/=/er
Thanks for proof reading the chapter. I'll explain Seika's grade later. But hey. Just cause Naruto got the princess doesn't mean he's playing the princess part. In fact I'm not sure whose playing what part any more. The only people who didn't swap places was Kakashi and Iruka. I think. Then again I'm pretty sure everyone played the princess part except for Sasuke and possibly Kakashi. Dunno. Still writing chapter 8. =Gai comes running through the notes wearing the evil queen outfit.= Damnit. GAI!! You're going to spoil chapter 8!! Cliché and not cliché, I take predictable situations and turn them unpredictable. I think...Hope you did well on your test.
To Black myst
Okay. For once I'm not going to listen to a reviewer but sorry I guess the fluff is happening. But there's one thing I must ask cause I stupid or something (That or I haven't come across whoever he or she is). But who is hagane kotstsu?
To Kuroi Kitsune13
Okay I must be stupid. But only now I realized that your name means black fox. (Seika: Someone hasn't been paying attention to her Japanese sensei) =glares at Seika= Anyways I'm sooooooooooooooooo sorry I didn't sent you this chapter. I just wanted to post it really bad. (There was no way I was going to be 3 chapter a head of what I posted.) So calm down. I promise you I'll sent you 'Kuro to Shiro no Kiga' IF and WHEN I get it done. As for what the heck is 'Kuro to Shiro no Kiga' Well let's keep that a secret for now. If I don't give you that, then I'll give you the next chapter first. I'll sent it to both emails. By the way did you change it? I was sending it to a kitsune13 or something. Don't worry I'll change the emails anyways.
To all the other reviewers
THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING.
Seito: Okay =still hugging Rei. The sugar somewhat going away= Now to clear a few other things.
To my beta readers. Okay to speed up chapter posting over chapter. I'm going to try something different. Instead of sending it to all four of you, only 2 will get the chapter. After that the next chapter only the other 2 will get it. Ex: If I sent chapter 7 Kuroi Kitsune13 and Dragon Pearl1 first then, The La/=/er and Purim will get chapter 8 the next time, ect. Okay?
Seika: Now how on earth was I getting a 79.9 in the last chapter.
Seito: You failed your test. See on the part that had the most points, Itachi was bugging (he was already done) so every other sentence said "I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him." Jiraiya had to give a bad grade cause it had nothing to do with the essay you were supposed to be writing.
Seika: Is that so? =Leaves the notes=
Seito: Hey? Where are you going? ITACHI RUN!!!

Having the main character part in the school play isn't all that fun. Especially when your boyfriend's fan group is after your blood. Then when your classmate walks in on you and your boyfriend "practicing" the final scene, things get a little messy. Luckily your roommate and boyfriend's brother cover for you. Sadly, that doesn't stop rumors from flying and all of them far from the truth. Then rumors about your roommate and your boyfriend's brother have somehow started. Anger is a problem your roommate deals with and suddenly one can feel very sorry for your boyfriend's brother...

Was there all the time]
It's been nearly a week since the first play meeting. Bodily harm, arguments, and all sorts of things had already happened. The only people who were still objecting were Sasuke's fan group about Naruto's part as princess. Naruto had spent the next week hiding for his life. Yes, it was very scary for Naruto. He NEVER wanted to see those rabid fan girls again. Although it seems fate is against him as he always seem to run into those stupid girls. So it's no surprise to find out that Naruto is hiding from those fan girls this sunny day.

"There you are."
Naruto opened his eyes to find himself looking into onyx eyes. "Hi Sasuke," he said cheerfully. Once again Naruto was on top of the school relaxing. Today was a cool day as a light breeze blew today. There were many clouds in the sky, often blocking out the sun for many minutes before moving away to reveal the rays once again. A blue bird took flight in the blue sky above, singing its beautiful song.
Naruto laid down on the rooftop. Yes, it was his safe spot. No scary fan girls to worry about up here. It was no surprise that Sasuke was here. Ever since last week Monday, every lunch hour the two boys sat up here enjoying the scenery.
The blond switched his position so that he was now sitting in Sasuke's lap. Sasuke didn't mind, in fact he enjoyed it. Sasuke nuzzled his face in Naruto's locks. Hmm... Naruto smelled really sweet.
"No fan girls today," asked Naruto. Sasuke shook his head. Nope not a single fan girl yet. Perhaps fate was smiling upon them today. Of course then that usually curses their luck. They should be expecting to be running for their life after school.
"Why am I not surprised?"
Both quickly snapped around, scrambling out of their position, fearing it was one of their classmates. They found Seika instead. "Seika what are you doing here," asked Sasuke, slightly annoyed that he was interrupted. She shrugged. "I wandered here. I used to come up here when I was in junior high so I came back. I'm not surprised you two stumbled across it," she said. "Though you really should lock the door or something." Anyone could come up here."
"Don't you have to get back to class," asked Naruto.
Seika scowled. "Yeah right." The teacher comes in so late; we have about 5 minutes of class left."
===
Downstairs a certain silver hair man teacher sneezed, leaving his lover wondering if his boyfriend was catching a cold.
===
"Since the two of you are up here, I'll leave you two alone," said Seika. She left the rooftop right after that. The school campus was quite big. There were others places she wandered to. Looked like she could cross out junior high rooftop though. Seika doubted she'd be able to go back up there. Naruto and Sasuke seem to have taken a liking to this hiding place. Shoot, she was running out of hiding places.
Sasuke returned to burying his face in Naruto's hair, absentmindedly playing with it in his fingers. Naruto didn't say much, content with lying in Sasuke's lap. Above the bird's song continued to play.

"WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Naruto and Sasuke's eyes snapped to the door to reveal a stunned and horrified Sakura. Both looked at their position before blushing. They were about to kiss before Sakura walked in on them.
=Flashback=
Both boys were waiting quietly in the classroom. Those err... girls were roaming nearby looking for them. Naruto and Sasuke decided that they should practice while they waited for the school to clear out of those girls before heading to Naruto's house. So they took out their script and began to rehearse.
"Shall we practice the last scene," questioned Naruto. A small smirk made its way onto Sasuke's face. He knew what the last scene was. "Sure why not," he said.
Final scene: prince finds princess; prince kisses princess; princess wakes up; and then the end. Naruto and Sasuke got to the part, prince finds princess. Just as Sasuke was about to lean over and kiss Naruto, heard a loud, "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
=End of Flashback=
"Haruno what are you doing here," demanded Sasuke. Naruto in his mind, began to weave a very long and complicated story incase she asked.
"S-S-Sasuke-kun," started Sakura. Her normally brilliant mind was numb as she stumbled to form complete sentences. All she was doing was searching the school for her beloved Sasuke-kun and she walks into a classroom to find Naruto trying to kiss her crush. Anger began to course its way through Sakura. "NARUTO," she yelled. She began to stomp towards Naruto.
"It's not what it looks like," said Naruto, trying to defend himself. Sakura didn't hear him, too blinded by her anger. Sasuke made a movement to help his boyfriend, but was stopped as a roll of paper lightly hit Sakura on her head. Sakura stopped, confused at what just hit her. She turned around to find Seika standing behind her. In her hand was her script rolled up.
"They almost had me convinced that time. Thank you for ruining it. Now they have to try again," said Seika.
"What are you talking about," asked Sakura. Behind, Naruto and Sasuke looked at her with puzzled and confused expressions. They didn't even see Seika come into the classroom. Seika let out a sigh. "They're practicing to see if they could make it look like they were kissing without actually having their lips touch. It looked realistic until you came barging in. I'm here to see if they could fool me and you're interrupting." Anger faded from Sakura. Yes, it did look realistic.
"Ah. Well if they can't fake, they could use tape."
Three of the four turned to find Itachi pop up next to Seika. "Tape," questioned Naruto. Itachi nodded. "I had to play the prince one year for the junior high play and the princess was some crazy guy. I didn't want to kiss the guy, so the night of the performance I had a piece of tape and I placed it over the guys mouth, leaned in close enough to make it look like that I kissed him, took the tape with me as I came back up and no one knew." Seika nodded in agreement. Then she realized whom she was agreeing with. She turned around, anger cross/marks appearing as she yelled, "WILL YOU STOP FOLLOWING ME AROUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Itachi had to cover his ears as Seika's voice continued to ring in his ears. Damn she could yell. Outside, one of Seika and Itachi's classmates, who was passing by, peered into the window to see a strange sight. Usuyuki and Uchiha talking (well it's more like arguing). Since when did they even know each other? How strange. That classmate darted off. That was an interesting little tidbit of information. It just so happens that the classmate was a girl, a girl who happens to love to gossip. Guess what will be top notch on the gossip wheel tomorrow morning?
Meanwhile on the other side of the door of the classroom, one of Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke's classmate was outside listening to the conversation. That classmate even saw the near kiss incident between Naruto and Sasuke. Oh dear, two sets of rumors were ready to launch tomorrow morning...

'Something's wrong here,' thought Seika. Ten minutes into class and she felt something was wrong. Actually the feeling that something was wrong had been hitting her since she walked onto the school campus this morning at 7. Iruka-sensei wasn't here yet, so Seika was just relaxing. Surprisingly Itachi hadn't done anything to her... yet.
Seika looked around the class. Anyone she made eye contact with immediately looked away or pretended that they didn't see Seika. Seika also saw a few people whispering and pointing at her. Yes, something was wrong here. The problem was, she didn't know what it was. All she knew was that it mostly likely involved her. As a loner, Seika avoided people, but when people started to avoid her like she was some kind of plague, there was something wrong.
Leaning back in her chair and folding her arms over her chest, she thought of the reasons why people would avoid her. Then something poked her on the head. Letting out a sigh, Seika lean her head back, knowing who the one responsible for poking her was. Sure enough, she was looking at the upside down face of Itachi. Her white hair fell off her shoulder and touched the ground. Her sapphire eyes were cold and uncaring. "What do you want," she asked.
"Do you know why people are whispering and pointing at you and me," he asked. Onyx eyes gleamed with curiosity and... something else Seika couldn't identify. "Does it look like I know," she answered dryly. She went back to brooding.

Naruto didn't quite understand the disgusting looks that everyone was giving him. He hadn't pulled a prank in over a month so there was no reason to glare at him. Naruto also noticed the looks sympathy sent towards Sasuke. Looking at his boyfriend, Naruto noted that Sasuke also noticed. He didn't get it. What had he done over the past days that everyone, mostly girls, would be glaring at him? Unless... It was because of yesterday. Someone else saw that near kissing incident and was now spreading rumors. Of course Sasuke would be the one everyone felt sorry for. He was the most popular boy on the campus and since Naruto was the loser of the school, he would be the one blamed for it. Naruto let out a groan and his upper body collapsed on his desk, his right arm off of it and his head resting on his left. 'Great, now everyone think I'm going to rape Sasuke,' thought Naruto. He began to dread the ending of the school. It meant that Sasuke's Fan Group would be out for blood, literally.
"What's wrong," asked Sasuke. Naruto let out another groan.
"I know why they're staring at us," muttered Naruto. "I think someone saw what Sakura saw yesterday but didn't hear Seika's explanation. So everyone thinks I'm going to rape you or something." Horror appeared on Sasuke's face. "Great," said Sasuke. "That means those stupid fan girls of mine will be after you today." Naruto nodded. He believed this was the first time in his life that he hoped school would NEVER end.

It was at lunch when Seika found out. To say she was pissed off would be a HUGE understatement. She had tracked down the rumor and found out that someone told the whole school that Itachi and she were DATING!! Seika didn't know who started this ridiculous rumor but when she found out, they were going to pay.
Seika didn't quite understand how people could believe that. She hated the older Uchiha. (Okay maybe not completely hated but greatly disliked.) She couldn't stand him and he was the one who was following her around. And speak of the devil himself, Seika just ran into the older Uchiha.
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT," she yelled at him. When she noticed that she was drawing stares from her classmates, she grabbed Itachi and headed towards an empty classroom ignoring the whispers among the crowd. Once inside of one, (apparently a few couples wanted =ahem= some 'alone' time) she continued her rant about how this was Itachi's fault until she was done. "Are you done," asked Itachi after she stopped. Seika nodded. "Well I take it you found out the reason why people were staring at us," he continued. Seika just glared at him. "So what is it," asked Itachi.
As soon as he asked, he regretted it. Swearing there was a murderous gleam in Seika's cold cerulean eyes, Itachi gulped nervously. He never thought there would be a time where he was terrified of a girl, much less Seika. "Oh it's nothing," Seika started out sweetly. 'A little too sweet,' thought Itachi. He was right as Seika's voice continued to rise as she finished her sentence, "Just the fact that the whole school is under the expression that we're DATING!!!!!" Itachi looked at Seika as if she had grown another head.
"What?!"
"You heard me," said Seika dangerously. "For some reason they think we're dating!"
"Are we?" asked Itachi. He was testing the bounds of Seika's anger, something very dangerous and stupid to do. Seika twitched. Many people had told her that she had inherited her mother's anger and it was only her training from martial arts when she was a child that kept her in control and away from strangling her classmate. "NO WE ARE NOT," she yelled.
Letting out a sigh and sinking into a nearby chair, Seika ran her hand through her long white bangs. She really should look into taking some anger management classes. Her normal meditation wasn't going help get rid of this stress she was feeling. Of course the question of whether Seika could even afford such classes rose in her mind. She rubbed her temples as she felt a headache coming on. What was she going to do? The whole school thought she was dating Itachi. Seika had a feeling that the peace and quiet she enjoyed so much in her life before this was going to disappear. Her life just took a turn down the chaos path.

Characters: Naruto, Sasuke, Sasuke's Fan Group
-----------------
Naruto quickly crouched at the corner of the hall. There were only ten feet and the school gardens separating him from home and freedom. So far he had been lucky. No sightings of the fan group yet, although Naruto knew they were lurking somewhere around here. Thank Kami-sama that they hadn't found out where he lived yet.
"What are you doing Naruto?" Naruto jumped up; startled by the voice before realizing it was Sasuke. "Sasuke. Don't do that. You scared the hell out of me. I thought it was one of those stupid fan girls of yours," said Naruto.
Sasuke merely smirked. "So that's what you are doing," he said. He looked around the corner. "It's clear," he said. Naruto sighed in relief. Just as the two made their way outside into the school gardens, there was a rumbling noise. They had been spotted.
"RUN!!!!!!!!"
Naruto and Sasuke took off into the school garden. They should be able to lose the girls in here, the maze of the gardens the boys were running through. They came across the edge of the Sakura trees as Naruto grabbed Sasuke and pulled him toward one of the green trees. "This way," he told his boyfriend.
Naruto then leaped up into the tree, something he had done with great practice. Sasuke followed Naruto up the tree. Apparently the top of the tree was bigger then it appeared to be. The branches spread out so wide it almost created a room. The green leaves created walls, hiding the boys from view as the branches seem to spread out to support the leaves and created a floor. There were two big pillows used as seats on the 'floor'. "What is this place," asked Sasuke. Naruto plopped himself onto one of the pillows.
"A hideout, I guess," said Naruto. "How do you find these places," asked Sasuke, running his hand over the smooth bark.
"I don't," said Naruto. "Seika does. You'll be surprised at what she'll do to get some peace and quiet around here. The only problem with this hideout is that by the time fall comes, everyone can see it, so we have to move these pillows until spring comes again."
"It's nice," said Sasuke taking a seat in the second pillow. "One more hideout to get away from those girls. Closer too. When does Seika find the time to find these places?"
Naruto shrugged. "Who knows? I've known her for 5 years and still don't understand her. Hell I don't even understand most girls anyways. The only thing I believe I understand about them is the reason they fell in love with you."
Sasuke smiled weakly. "Yeah, but I'd rather chose you over them any day."
Naruto smiled. A bird flew into the branches of the hideout, flapping its wings and singing its song before taking flight once more.
"Hopefully this whole thing will blow over by tomorrow," said Sasuke. He was referring to the whole rumor cycle. Naruto nodded. The last thing he need was to deal with those girls.

When the coast was finally clear, Naruto and Sasuke headed towards Naruto's house to finish their project. They were almost done. It was no surprise, after all Sasuke is a genius. What's surprising is the fact that they weren't done with the project days ago. Probably spent too much alone time, that or playing video games.
Itachi showed up about half hour later. Lately he too had been making regular visits although Naruto and Sasuke were quite sure it wasn't because he was there to pick up Sasuke, but rather to annoy the hell out of Seika. He was doing a good job. When Seika saw him (she was already home before Sasuke and Naruto arrived there) she threw her plastic cup of water at him, soaking the older Uchiha. Then she locked herself in her room, seething in anger.
Sasuke got the feeling that for whatever reason Seika was angry, it had to do something with his brother. "Aniki, what did you do to Seika," asked Sasuke. His older brother stood soaking wet. His black hair was dripping wet as the carpet below him became damp. Itachi brushed his dark bangs out of his face so he could see before taking off his coat so it could dry. The water hadn't soak through his cloak, leaving his clothes underneath dry. "Why blame me," ask Itachi, not answering his brother question.
Sasuke shrugged. "Judging from Seika's reaction it must have been pretty bad."
"I had nothing to do with it this time, but she's convinced it was my fault. How could it be? I was there with her all the time," said Itachi in his defense.
"Why is it every time you come over, Seika always locks herself in her room," Naruto mused. "Does she not like you or something?"
Itachi let out a sigh. "I think it's something like that. She definitely doesn't enjoy my company."
"Getting Seika mad isn't the best thing to do if you want to live long," Naruto pointed out.
"I figured that out," commented Itachi.
=======
They were now in the final stages of translating. Itachi was helping the two younger boys with their translation. Or at least he was trying to. "Katana is sword in English right," asked Sasuke. Itachi scratched his head, trying to remember. As I said earlier, English and Video Games were not his strong point, genius or not. "Um... that should be right," said Itachi.
He was sitting with his younger brother and Naruto at the wooden fold-up floor table. Naruto was coloring the pictures of their book as Sasuke and Itachi worked on the translation. "So what's 'Katana-san wa ishi o ugokusou to shimashitakedo ugokemasendeshita."
"Umm... let's see," started Itachi.
"It should be 'Sword tried to move the rock but couldn't'. But since you're using Katana as a name, it could also be 'Katana tried to move the rock but couldn't'. That's about as close as you'll get."
The three in the room turned around to see Seika finally out of her room. She was carrying her darn textbook again. (Seito: Talk about bookworm. Seika: You should talk. The only difference is that you carry anime pictures and fanfiction stories. Seito: ...) "Thanks Seika," said Naruto.
She just shrugged and headed towards the kitchen to grab a drink. "You're slacking, Aniki," commented Sasuke. Seika came out of the kitchen carrying a cup of juice. "Seika can you help us with this project," asked Naruto. Seika stopped on her path to her room and headed towards the three boys. She took the book from Naruto and quickly began to read it. Seika stopped on one page and pointed to one of the sentences. "This sentence doesn't make any sense at all," she said.
Behind her, reading along with her, was Itachi. "Why," he asked. "It looks fine." Sasuke took the book from Seika and found the mistake and fixed while his older brother and Seika argued silently. "It made prefect sense," argued Itachi. "No it didn't," insisted Seika. The two continued to argue and Sasuke or Naruto would interrupt the conversation to tell Itachi that Seika was right. Finally Seika gave up, saying, "&You win. I give up, you idiot. For once you should just trust my answer.&"
Itachi blinked not understanding a single word that Seika just said. Before he could even asked she had left. So he decided to ask Naruto who knew Seika the longest, "Did she just speak fluently in English?"
Naruto nodded. "You should've listened to her. She doesn't speak fluently for nothing. English is the only subject in which she feels confident about her work."
"If she speaks fluently then why is she taking English classes," asked Itachi. Naruto shrugged. "Who knows? She's been speaking fluently ever since she moved to America."
'Seika's been to America? Why there,' wondered Itachi. He stored that little bit of information in his head.
=Seika's Room=
Seika wanted to scream. There was something about Uchiha Itachi that brought out the worse in her. Why didn't he just trust what she was saying?! English was the only course that Seika took where she didn't proofread her homework over 10 times. (She only reread English homework twice) Had she not spoken the languages fluently enough? It only took her two years to learn the language and another 5 years to continue to refine it.
Seika stopped. 5 years ago... Her eyes landed on the small picture that lay on the desk; a family portrait. A young Seika sat on the lap of a lady that looked exactly like her except her eyes were green whereas Seika's were blue. Behind the lady was a man with chocolate brown hair and the same blue eyes as Seika's. His semi-long chocolate brown bangs fell like Seika's snow white ones. Seika picked up the picture and stared at it for a while. Memories she thought she had buried years ago, returned to her.
She set the picture face down. That part of her life was gone; they were gone. She couldn't change the past and no one could change her new life. But in the mean time, it was all right to cry.
=Outside=
The three boys had dished out the video games and once again Itachi was losing, Sasuke was winning and Naruto was somewhere in between. Depending on ones point of view the night had been somewhat successful. "So Itachi, why is Seika so mad at you," asked Naruto curiously.
Itachi nearly choked on his ramen noodles. (Curtsey of Naruto's instant ramen cups. He cooked tonight) "It's nothing," he said. "From that reaction I think not," said Sasuke with his usual smirk. Itachi glared at his little brother.
"Well? We're waiting," said Sasuke. It wasn't often Itachi would get flustered over something small like the reason why Seika was mad at him. Sasuke figured it was because Itachi was annoying her again. "Err... well...um..." started Itachi.
"The whole school is under the expression that we're dating." For the second time that night, Seika interrupted Itachi. There was annoyed expression on her face but Itachi noticed her eyes were slightly red and puffy. 'You know just once I want to see her smile. Seika is always wearing a frown or in my case, an angry expression,' thought Itachi. If it wasn't any of those two, then it was a look of boredom.
Naruto and Sasuke on the other hand reacted differently.
"WHAT?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Seito: =Tying up Seika so she doesn't try and kill Itachi= Okay I hope you enjoy the chapter. The next chapter. We're taking a break from the school and its craziness and aiming for a semi-romantic night at the festival. That is if fan girls don't ruin it. Remember it will have VERY light ItachixSeika fluff. =Winking= (Seika: WHAT?!?!?!) But before you leave I wanna know how predictable I am. It's a small quiz. But don't go reporting me incase I'm not supposed to be doing this.

Does anyone want any other pairings? No breaking of pairings though. And
not too many triangles. The ones that are permanent are Sasunaru,
Kakairu, HakuxZabuza, and Itaka [ItachixSeika]. Also remember there are
some pairings I just can't write. Sakura and Ino are one of them.
