(A/N: Hey! Shinigami Goumon here! Thanks for all your reviews! And now, without further adieu...THE NEXT CHAPPIE!)


"GRRR! Where did he get to?" Hotaru snarled, storming after the lingering ki trail, "Stupid ASSHOLE...just WAIT til I catch you!"

She was livid.

No.

Scratch that.

Furious.

No.

Try, "So-Pissed-She-Couldn't-See-Straight"

Hotaru charged after Itachi's chakra with the fervor of a madman.


"I couldn't of hit him THAT far!" she snarled, slamming into an inncocent by standard.

"Hey! Watch it!" he cried angrily, and right fully so.

Whirling around, eyes flashing demonic orange red, she growled ferally at the speaker.

"You mind re-PEATING THA-Hajime?"

"Yo, sis." Hajime snorted, "I'd ask how's it hangin', but I think we both know th' answer t' that question."

"Sorry." Hotaru sighed, sifting a hand through her red and black hair.

"Why s' pissed?" he asked.

"Cause I'm trying to locate a incestual MJ wannabe, but I sent him flying so far thatI can't find him!" Hotaru snarled.

"Incestual MJ wanna-?" Hajime began before his sister cut him off.

"Itachi's back." she growled.


Hajime's eyeliner ringed, black eyeshadowed orbs filled with understanding.

"Ahhhh." He nodded, "I see. But I hardly see how he brings incest in his wake."

"Oh, COME ON, baby bro!" Hotaru cried, throwing her hands into the air, "Have you NOT noticed his sick obsession with Sasuke? It's twisted!"

"Well ya make a good point there…" Hajime said slowly, "…but that's just cuz he's a sadist and enjoys toturin'' th' little guy. It's an extreme version of what WE do an' that HARDLY qualifies as incest."

"…good point." She grumbled.

"So why ya pissed at him?" he asked, "Whaddee do?"

"If I tell you, you'd kill him before I got the chance to." Hotaru snorted.


Hajime was in her face in a matter of milliseconds.

"Tell…me…NOW!" he snarled.

"He kissed me without consent." She said.

"He's DEAD!" Hajime roared, unleashing his fury on a poor, innocent lightpost.

"Now, now, baby bro…" Hotaru said soothingly, an eveil smirk playin on her lips, "…what did the lightpost ever do to you?"

"I'll KILL'M!" He roared.

"Not if I do first." She snarled.


From behind a nearby building, Itachi shook a bit.

Partly out of being soaked with salt water.

Mostly out of fear.

This was great.

Just lovely.

Now the Tyrannical Twosome were after him…AGAIN!

Which was sad.

Beacause he was only after information really.

He chanced a peek around the building.

The Devious Duohad stormed off in the opposite direction.

"Good." Itachi breathed.


He raised his gaze skyward and thought about the events of the past half hour.

He hadn't had a chance to notice when he was quaking in fear, but the years had been good to Hotaru.

She had filled out in all the right places.

But why was he thinking aboutTHAT when his mind SHOULD be fixated on tormenting SASUKE?

Itachi leaned back against the cold brick structure, folded his arms and pondered this.


Two and a half years ago, Hotaru had been an annoying, sixteen year old brat, on par with Sasuke and his maddening entourage.

Two and a half years ago, Hotaru was the one seeking him out, just for the opportunity to hopefully drive him insane.

Two and a half years ago, he had been a fish out of water, with no one but Hotaru and her idiot brother as guides.

But now…two and a half years later…

Hotaru had grown up…in more ways than one.

She was quieter, and no longer bothered herself with trivial matters like torturing others for fun (so HE thinks!)

Hotaru was no longer chasing him…or anyone for that matter.

"This…is…a problem." He muttered, "Her of all people."


"Where the hell could he be?" Hotaru snarled as they circled around to the place where they started, "We must have circle the boardwalk seven times!"

"I don't know." Hajime growled, "But when we find him-!"

"Find who now?" a cool voice snorted disdainfully.

The twin's whirled around and growled ferally.

"YOU!" Hotaru shouted, charging him.

"KILL!" Hajime roared.


Itachi easily doged both assaults, since both were blinded by rage.

He then grabbed Hotaru's hand and planted a kiss on each knuckle, making her go the color of a fish's belly.

"Wuh-Wuh-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" She screamed booting him away viciously.

"TOUCH MY SISTER AGAIN AND DIE YOU COMMA-EYED FREAK!" Hajime bellowed.

"Uzumaki-san…" Itachi said, cool as a cucumber, snatching upHotaru's hand again, "Would you be my lover?"

Hajime anf Hotaru's hair stood up on end.

"Wuh-wuh-what did you say?" Hotaru squeaked, going paler (if that was possible)

"I asked if you would be my-" Itachi began only to be cut of when Hajime whalloped him over the head with a nearby cinderblock.

Hotaru lifted him up.

Hajime switched a garbage bag beneath him.

Hotaru threw him in.

The two tightly bound it up in duct tape and kicked it off a pier.


"Luh-luh-luh-huh-uh…" Hotaru stammered, face still white with horror, "WHERE THE FUCK DID THAT COME FROM?"

"Hey, sometime shit like this pops outta nowhere." Hajime shrugged, "That's how we are. We think with the wrong head someti-"

"GLAAAAUGH!" Hotaru screamed,tearing at her hair, "NOOOOOOO! HAJIME DON'T SAY THAT! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LIE TO ME, DUMBASS!"

"I am?" Hajime said sheepishly, scratching his chin, "Heh heh…oops."

"AAAAAAAAUGH!" Hotaru screamed, "NOW THAT COMMA-EYED FREAK IS GONNA HAUNT ME IN MY NIGHTMARES! I DON'T WANNA BE HIS LOVER! I DON'T CARE IF HE'S A MEGABABE! HE'S A SADISTIC, INCESTUAL, MJ WANNABE NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY, BRO, AND I HATE HIM! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"S-Sis?" Hajime said sheepishly, "Don't cry. You'll smear your eyeliner and I don't have mine on me!"


(A/N: Somehow or another, Itachi makes his wway back to New Haven, and he's not taking no for an answer. R&R!)
