Hanging out with the Akatsuki was definitely a sight to behold. I wasn't sure what to expect but they were definitely a family of killers and it was funny as fuck. Deidara looked at me and grins widely.
"So what were you so pissed about hmm?" He asked and I shot the Uchiha and Shark man a dirty glare.
"Those two were just being assholes…" I stuck my tongue out at them. I was being childish right now. The Uchiha just looked emotionless like he did towards everyone. It was only behind closed doors that he showed anything. I huffed and looked around. "What do you guys usually do for fun?" I asked looking around. There were two large sectional couches in their commons room. A large TV in the center towards the back wall in front of the couches. They had a nice card table in a corner and a small bar area. To say I was amazed was an understatement.
"Normally we drink, play some card games, wrestle etc…" Konan started rolling her eyes.
"TOBI IS A GOOD BOY!~" I hyperactive Uchiha looked like he was high on something. Again, how the hell that man keeps that facade on is beyond me. It tires me out just by watching him. Although I'll admit I'm kind of curious about how they are drunk. I saw that they had beer. I began coming up with a plan. Muttering to myself I grin and jump up. Operation: Make the Akatsuki shit face drunk begin!
"I've got a game! I'm pretty sure with how competitive you guys are you'll like it!" I grinned wider. They looked at me a little weirded out with my random spat. "I'll need 2 long tables set up, 40 cups of the same size and 4 small plastic balls!" I look towards Konan. "Can you show me the kitchen I need to get some stuff from there while they set that up." She nodded standing and walked me to the kitchen asking what I was going to do. I began explaining slightly as we grabbed large amounts of beer.
"So the goal is you set up 10 cups on each side of the table and line them up in a triangle shape. Then you fill them halfway up with beer. The goal is to bounce the small ball into the cup of alcohol. If the ball lands in the cup then the person who threw the ball gets to choose who has to chug beer in the cup in basically one drink. Once empty, the cup is removed. The goal to win is to get rid of the other teams' cups." I explained a grin on my face. Konan sweat drops and chuckles.
"Sounds like something the guys would play." She commented and helped me carry them. I set up the cups and explained the rules. Hidan and Deidara looked pumped. Even Itachi and Pein, who don't usually partake in the festivities, looked somewhat amused.
Once everything was set up, I grabbed a small ball and bounced it on the table and landed in a cup. "See? This is how you do it and whoever I chose to drink the alcohol has to drink it." I smiled. "Ok, Here are the teams Hidan and Deidara." The two looked at each other. "Itachi and Pein, Kakuzu and Zetsu, Tobi and Kisame" I grinned watching everyone. I was worried that Pein and Itachi would refuse. But they both actually agreed. "Ok now choose the team you'll be against and then pick one side of the table to be your main side." Each group did as they were told and I figured out who goes first then they were off. Konan, Sasori, and I watched. To say the least watching S-class criminals playing ping pong was funny.
"Oh dear god." Konan blushed as Pein got a little flustered with the game but managed to get a ball into Zetsu's cup and demanded the plant man to drink it.
"This is too funny!" I laughed slightly, cheering on Itachi and Kisame. "Don't puss out!" I hollered. Konan was laughing at me.
"WHAT THE FUCK TOBI?!" Hidan screamed as Tobi shot another ball into the cup. So far he's only had to drink two. Let's just say Deidara and Hidan were losing and getting tipsy. Only they decided to change the rules a little. Instead of taking the cups away they'd fill them up again. Determined to not "Loose" grant that wasn't going to happen. They were against Tobi and Kisame.
"Kakuzu, I'll give you $100 if you don't lose," Konan smirks, spicing the competition up. Pein shot her a glare. Kakuzu has a new found fire. He still missed some, but the few he got let's just say he was merciless to Pein. Watching them get drunk was funny. I bit my lip, I really wanted to drink but I didn't want them to see me drunk. Although since I have a high tolerance I should be ok if I only drink two. As I got up to grab a beer for myself Pein and Itachi smirked in victory and Zetsu and Kakuzu glared in defeat. Pein turns to us.
"Konan, you and Sapherya...Must face us.!" He tipsily said/demanded. Konan looked at me with a smile on her lips. I bit my own lips. I didn't like playing with people I'm not comfortable with. So in this case I was so glad I was a heavy weight since Konan wasn't going to let me NOT play. She drags me over and we set the table up again.
"Fine, I'll play… But be prepared to lose Pein." I smirked and since they won last round Konan and I started. I bounced a ball and it landed in the right side cup and Konan bounced and hit the center cup. I smirked and told Itachi to drink it, Konan had made the ginger drink. Since we both got a ball in a cup we got to go again. I missed this time and Konan got one making Itachi drink it this time. The boys threw slightly tipsy and both landed in a cup and made each of us drink one. I chugged the beer like nothing. I moved the cups away and handed them the balls again. This continued and soon Konan and I were the victors. She was slightly drunk. I was tipsy. Pein was gone, and Itachi was about as drunk as Konan.
Soon after we drunkenly cleaned up, well those of us who are still sober. Hidan, Kisame, Tobi, and Deidara were passed out in random places drunk. Sasori already left for his room stating this was stupid. I picked up the trash and washed the cups. I felt someone behind me.
"Sapherya…" A deep voice stated slightly slurring it out. "You're so beautiful, and you can hold your liquor." I turn around my face a little flush because of the alcohol in my system. My brown eyes meet dark onyx ones. He was not shit faced but he was drunk to say the least.
"Damn it Uchiha, go lay down!" I hissed slightly and groaned when he just smirked at me. I shook my head and continued to wash the dishes. I felt arms snake around my waist and I stiffened.
"Come… Bed… with me" He groans laying his forehead against my neck. I bit my lip slightly in annoyance but I did bring this on myself.
"Later, you go to sleep. I have to finish." I sighed pinching the bridge of my nose. I gasped when I felt myself being spun around. My back was against the counter now, and Itachi had blocked me in. "Uchiha, watch it." I warned him, but the alcohol was over taking him. Before I could process what was going on he pressed his lips onto mine. I gasped into it and looked shocked. I stood frozen, soon I felt his weight increase and I think he fell asleep leaning against me. "I-Itachi?" I squeaked holding him up. "Fuck!" I groan and look around Sasori standing in the kitchen doorway with a brow raised.
"Having issues brat?"
"Shut up puppet and help me get him to his room…" I hissed in annoyance since I was about to collapse from the weight. Soon the weight was lifted and Sasori used his chakra strings to help me move the drunk passed out Uchiha to his room. I thanked him and walked back to the living room after memorizing the way. I decided to sleep in the living room after I finished the dishes. Sasori had already moved the others to their room. Including Pein and Konan. I lay on the couch thinking of the events that just happened and I touched my lips.
"Nani the fuck?"
~*~ Time Skip ~*~
I woke up to loud swearing and people groaning. I looked around seeing the Akatsuki trickle in, some holding their heads in regret. Others looked tired. I sighed and got some coffee started and began making some eggs and toast for breakfast. After everything was done I dished people out handing them their water and pain meds and some coffee with their food.
"You guys seem to get hangovers huh?" I asked out of curiosity. Some of the members nodded while others glared.
Itachi decided to sit quietly in the kitchen with Kisame. I sat in there as well, not wanting to be too loud for the others. I hummed softly as I cleaned up after breakfast. I ate very little that morning and just kept cleaning. Kisame was the first to break the silence.
"That was an interesting game you had, kid." He grins and I glared.
"For the last time I'm not a kid. I'm glad you liked Kisame… It was something my college friends and I used to do. Some of my old guy friends liked to complicate it by adding trick shots and what not." I saw Itachi narrow his eyes slightly but also held a glint of curiosity when I mentioned my college friends.
"What's College?" Kisame asked, slightly confused since I've mentioned it a few times. I pondered how to answer his question for a minute.
"Well, it's a school for adults. It cost a lot more than it probably should. It's where adults go to learn how to be specific people since we don't have ninja's and such. Like how to be a doctor, scientist, banker, zoo keeper, astronomer. Stuff like this?" I questioned myself. Kisame looked dumbfounded. Itachi looked amused before speaking up himself.
"What were you going to college?" The raven haired male asked his partner intrigued. I blushed and thought about how many times I changed my mind.
"Well…" I drew out. "I first started going there for an art major. Then changed to a theater major. Then I changed it again to be an Astrophysicist…" I explained. They looked lost on the last thing I mentioned so I continued. "Astrophysics is the branch of astronomy that employs the principles of physics and chemistry. to ascertain the nature of the astronomical objects, rather than their positions or motions in space." I knew they probably were not going to understand but that's ok. I just laughed. "Don't worry a lot of people get lost when I mention it. This includes all kinds of people from my world." I smile reassuringly at them. I stood and walked towards Itachi's room. I yawned since I hadn't slept too well. Once I got to Itachi's room I was debating on whether or not I wanted to read or take a little cat nap. I lay down and closed my eyes, yawning the sleep taking over slightly. I heard the door open quietly and someone sitting in Itachi's seat across from the bed. I rolled over and peeked an eye open. It was the Uchiha, he had his book in hand as usual. He already finished the last one and was reading a new one.
"Sapherya." He started grabbing my attention and I looked at his face sitting up slightly.
"Yah? What's up?" I asked, staring at him.
"What happened last night?" he asked cautiously. He wasn't shit faced but drunk enough he couldn't really remember everything. "You were sleeping in the living room why?" He asked slightly concerned. His brows furrowed in confusion and frustration. I'm going to assume the Uchiha doesn't usually drink to that extent.
"Well…" I looked embarrassed and wondered if I should tell him. I decided to do it. "You came on to me in the kitchen, then you drunkenly kissed me before passing out. I had to ask Sasori for help before you squished me." I admitted. He looked taken aback and muttered something. "What?" I asked not to hear him.
"I said…" he paused. "I apologize for my unforgiving behavior. It was not like me to do such things." My eyes widened and I looked at him and began laughing.
"You know, anyone else and I'd probably have kicked their ass. I found it actually funny to watch you in such a state of vulnerability in front of me. Well not just me but all of the members. You were having fun and that's all that mattered. Nothing happened, it was just a drunken kiss so it meant nothing." I was reassured. He looked for a split second hurt but I waved it off.
"I suppose" He stated and became quiet. I just took that as a cue for me to try and take a nap.
Itachi ~ Pov
I watched the girl fall asleep in front of me. It meant nothing? I knew that I meant that kiss but I could see since I was under the influence of alcohol. She was fascinating to me. Not only did she want to deal with something about the stars she was also good at holding her alcohol and taking care of all of our drunken states. This woman was above all other women I've met. I noticed once she was asleep I was alright to talk to myself.
"Sapherya Kormak, you have made the infamous Uchiha fall for you and your crazy antics." I muttered and sat next to the girl who had affected me these last few months. She was just a kitten when we got her. She turned out to be another being. Soon she became family to the Akatsuki. Although there was one thought that frightened me the most. She's not from here, what would happen with us if she disappeared or ended back in her world. I shook my head of these thoughts and looked back at the girl laying next to me. I smiled softly I laid down and held her close to me. I originally wanted my brother to kill me. I had nothing, but this girl gave me something. She gave me something to fight for, to live for. She gave me hope. I want this random, crazy, heart warming, mysterious girl in my life. I will not give up on her. Soon thereafter, I had fallen asleep holding the woman that I fell in love with. I don't know if I could admit that to her directly. At least not yet, my beautiful mystery.
