Disclaimer: It should be obvious by now that I don't own Naruto.

Hello! I'm back! Whoot! Sorry it took so... long... for me to update, I had a rather nasty case of Writers Block, but I'm back now, and I've decided that I'm going to finish this one before I continue on my other fanfictions. After this one I'll probably try to finish Pokemon Virtual... or write some more one-shots... or start a new one... xDD. Anywho, this is a short chapter, but I find it highly amusing.

P.S. I fixed the thoughts problem in chapters 4 and 5. So if you were highly confused, please take time to go back and read those chapters again. (For those of you who didn't notice, all thoughts are supposed to be in Italics xD)


Chapter 6

"Apparently," Tsunade said, deciding to finally give them the mission, "Somebody has decided to hold a 'How to get the Homicidal Tendencies out of your system' workshop…"

;-;-;-;-;

"A… workshop on that?" Kakashi asked, mildly amused. "And you think that S Class Criminals have signed up? They'd have to be stupid to."

"Yes I do." Tsunade stated, crossing her arms over her chest, "Because, deep down, we are all made of stupid."

"…"

"Now that we've got that cleared up, I expect you to leave at once."

Now, being the ditz that she was, Alex hadn't heard any of this. She'd fallen into a subliminal battle with her conscious. What if I get found out? What if… hey… if I go on this mission… I get to see Itachi-sama again!

All eyes turned to look at Itachi when a sudden look appeared in his eye.

;-;-;-;-;

"Man… I can't believe this." Sasuke muttered, scratching the back of his head irritably, and side glancing up to Itachi, who was almost floating beside him. Itachi had looked so extraordinarily happy since they'd left the Hokage's study.

I'll get to be with Itachi-sama again! Oh boy! I can't wait! And we can eat shrimp together… and laugh together… and get eaten by poisonous reptiles together… KYAAAA! Just the very thought… what… hold on a second, why is Sasuke looking at me like that? … Well, I guess I am Itachi after all. She slumped slightly. Right. Him. My mission comes first.

"Nii-chan, what's the matter?"

"… Nothing. I'm just… OVERLY HYPED ON SUGAR!" Alex, again, saved herself from revealing everything. "…"

"… I see. I… don't recall giving you any sugar."

"What you don't recall can't hurt you!"

;-;-;-;-;

So, it was time to partake on the mission that they all knew they had to do. Well… the mission that three of them felt they had to do. Okay, two. … One then… stuff it. The mission that they didn't want to, but had to do. And, as usual, Kakashi was late.

"What's the matter with Itachi? He's been on cloud nine the entire time he's been here." Sakura asked absentmindedly. Things between her and Sasuke were less strained since Itachi had fallen into their lives. Which had only been two days… but on three different occasions, Sasuke had appeared pleading for mercy on her doorstep. Funny that.

"Beats me." Sasuke replied, pegging a stone at his older Brothers head. Of course, Itachi being the idiot he was, it hit him square in the side of the head.

"YOU!" Alex accused, pointing dramatically at the stone that had hit her in the side of the head. "What do you have against me?" And so, she attempted to wage a war against the inanimate piece of scenery.

"That ought to keep him amused." Sasuke added, stretching. "I envy Naruto – he's so lucky, going on a holiday."

Sakura grunted in reply.

"Yo!" Kakashi announced his arrival, slinging his pack over his shoulder, only to be hit a suspiciously familiar (well, to Sasuke anyway) looking stone. "…"

"YES! TAKE THAT! WHEN YOU FIGHT AGAINST ITACHI, YOU FIGHT WITH…" Alex stopped in mid sentence when she noticed the swelling forming on the side of Kakashi's face. She immediately said; "Didn't do it."

"Roi-ght." Kakashi stated, rubbing the side of his face, "Ouch… anyways… lets head out, shall we?"

;-;-;-;-;

"Why does…"

"He have…"

"So much energy…" The three Konoha ninjas drawled. All three were slumped over, walking side by side, while Itachi was walking like an idiot out in front. So far that day, they'd rescued Itachi from falling over various types of cliffs, getting sucked into drain pipes, being attacked by random wild animals. He had suffered some third-degree burns when he'd fallen into the fire that they'd tried (unsuccessfully) to cook fish, but that didn't seem to hinder him to much.

"Mr. Birdy! It's Mr. Birdy again!" Itachi said suddenly, bouncing in the direction where the red bird from Chapter Two had suspiciously – more like idiotically – landed on a branch near where Itachi had been walking. "Hi Mr. Birdy! Let's be fri…ends?"

Itachi's words were cut short when the bird was abruptly cut in half by Sasuke. "That'll teach you to meddle with me!" Sasuke screeched, glaring triumphantly at the bird.

They're… exactly… the… same… Kakashi and Sakura thought in unison, sweat dropping.

;-;-;-;-;

"I can see it!" Itachi announced happily. They'd finally reached the facility – an old jail (how about that) – where the workshop was going to be held. "Yay! Paaaaaaaartyyyyyyyy!"

"Nii-san, shut up." Sasuke threatened, thumping Itachi on the back of the head. Itachi whined.

"Alright, time to get serious." Kakashi said, trying to ignore Itachi, who was using Henge no Jutsu to try on all different kinds of pink and purple dresses. Sakura and Sasuke tried the same.

"We need to change our looks." Sasuke stated boredly. "Nii-san doesn't, though, I expect they would have been expecting him anyway."

"To true. Although, I'm pretty sure any clinic or workshop would have seen him from far off… Itachi! Grass is not food! Spit it out! You don't know where it's been!"

Itachi followed orders, and spat out the grass he'd been attempting to eat.

"Right. Change into the most violent image you can think of."

"Alright!"
