Hello, and welcome to the second installment of Are We There Yet? And I would like this time to say, holy crap! Someone other than Sirius reviewed me!

Sirius: I'm updating, I hope that saves you, do you have any scars yet? I certainly hope you don't. Don't believe the squirrels, they tried to sell me crack and I got marshmallows, not that I don't like marshmallows, I wanted crack. T.T No, you can't be paired with Auron or Kakashi, they're taken, it's Tidus, Iruka, Someone else, an OC, or you don't date . Well actually I didn't have friends for seven years but I didn't want to say that, yay, I have friends! Oh, that just gave me an idea for this story for later on!

Tetsu-kuh: really good, good work? You actually think this was halfway decent? I was just writing this for fun and to try to stop my boredom. O.O great writer? I have never been called a great writer, it's kinda scary. I guess I could give you some tips once my updating spree is over. . . two stories, great spree -.-U

Announcements: Nothing really, I'm bored and just writing this before I go to anime club, then I'll be writing more in my notebook. I've got at least three more chapters after this one written.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, FFX, or Odin . . . poo T.T

(This is actually the story now, yay!)

Are We There Yet

Circe Celebrates With Sake

By, me, rurouniturtle

In da land of hidden leaves ((AN: why would leaves hide?))

"Circe!" Kakashi yelled running up to the black and blue haired women sitting silently at the bar.

"What do you want?" She snapped, turning around and glaring at Kakashi and his team with sharp blue eyes.

"It's your birthday, let's celebrate!" Naruto yelled bounding over to her.

"No." Was all she said simply turning back to her drink.

"Why not?" Sakura asked looking at Circe puzzled, "It's your birthday, you should celebrate."

Circe humphed as Tsunade sat down next to her.

"How's the liquor here?" Tsunade asked smiling.

Circe shrugged, "Better than that stuff in Snow you two tried to pour down my throat, but. . . it's not as nice as his was." Circe sighed simply and downed her cup.

Kakashi slid into the seat next to Jiraiya who was on Circe's other side.

"Yeah, that's true, he had the best sake in town, he said that jar never ran empty." Jiraiya said grinning.

"Yeah, remember the day we took a tub and filled it with his jug. So many people thought it was a street performance of magic." Circe said giggling, half smile on her face.

"Day he gave you that ring right?" Tsunade asked sipping her cup.

Circe looked down and put a hand on the blue beaded iron ring around her neck, it had varying sizes of beads and a few green swirls.

"Yeah, he was so embarrassed about it. I gave him a really nice sword and he gave me the ring to his sake bottle." Circe said a soft smile on her face, her eyes glazed, lost in memory.

"How are you doing? It's been eight years right?" Kakashi asked peering at Circe. The other two paused in their drinks to watch Circe too.

She paused, "I'm doing good, I mean as well as I can with Auron, Kame, and Odin off somewhere." Circe smiled sadly, "Well, I mean, it's been eight years and I'm still worried how much trouble that brat is causing Auron." She choked slightly. "And how much he's making her cry."

Tsunade put a hand on her shoulder, "It's all right, the drinks are warm, you've got friends to share the pain, AND to top it all off, Jiraiya's paying!"

"What!" Jiraiya yelled shocked and was immediately silenced by a death glare from Circe.

"Some people are trying to kill the pain here, shut it!" She hissed glaring at the man next to her.

Jiraiya sat down quickly and cried silently to himself as Circe drank as much as she could until Jiraiya's wallet stopped her.

"Hmm. . . What now, go an' pray or try to call them?" Circe asked herself leaving the stool, perfectly sober, a miracle considering the amount of alcohol she consumed, it was amazing she didn't die.

"That girl holds her liquor." Kakashi commented softly chuckling.

Tsunade nodded, "For sixteen days a year, she does this."

Kakashi blinked shocked. "I thought it was only on her birthday."

"No, she has a lot more pain than you to deal with. Even if you don't think it's there." Jiraiya said shaking his head.

Kakashi nodded with a sigh, "I think I'll go keep her company." He got up and followed Circe to her home.

"What are you doing here?" She asked bitterly, glaring at him.

"I've come to keep you company with your prayers." Kakashi said following her to the prayer room.

Circe knelt down in front of a black stone altar.

"I daughter of water, ice and shadow call upon the spirits of the past." She lit a candle with blue flames, another with white, and one with black. "Blue calls through the shadow out and to Green and Red."

(And that's the end of that –brushes hands off)

So, how was it, yes ooc, it's so hard to keep people in character. And yes, Circe, Kame, and Odin have special powers, they're demons, but they do have a giant weakness as I pointed out in chapter one. That and this won't be too big of a fighting story, so it won't matter that much till towards the end.

Reviews make me happy and update faster, care to make me happy and write something?
