Sapherya ~ Pov

It was another day, Tuesday I didn't have school today but I did have to work. However I thankfully was able to win my managers heart back since Penelope had written a missing persons report. Since I was back home safe and sound I ended up having to go to fill out a report on what happened. I made something up on the fly, some truth, others not so much, because who would believe me that I went to another dimension? Come on lets be real here. Because of this my manager and company let me have my job back.

I stare at my clipboard yawning slightly with my pen tucked neatly into my royal purple shirt. I was sitting at a desk so I could make simple calls to my customers. I was so mad, I had some appointments planned for the week that I was gone. I had to call them back after making sure that they were not taken and already sold to by my evil coworkers. I swear it's eaten or be eaten at this place. I rescheduled all of my appointments for today, this gave me an advantage slightly since I had quite a few appointments.

Hearing the door open I looked up and grinned as my first customer walked in. "Good morning Daniel! It's nice to see you today, I do apologize for my absence last week and I'm glad that you decided to stay a loyal customer." I laughed slightly, my chin length brown hair bouncing as I walked over to him.

"No worries, I hear that you were recently kidnapped. It was all over the news! Should you be at work so soon?"

"Don't worry, I appreciate your concern for me but I can tell you that I'm perfectly fine. Alrighty, but now that you are here, let's go ahead and get your financing situated. Follow me! I know we talked about you increasing your credit amount, were you looking to add on to your account?" I asked trying to get a better understanding of what he'd like.

"You as always are correct. I'm looking at purchasing a new washer and dryer set. I think I'd also like the pedestals that go with them as well."

"Of course, did you have a set already picked out or what was it you were looking for? Did you have a brand in mind?"

"Honestly all I really know is that I would like a front loader washer and dryer set. The rest I could care less about." I nodded and led him to what I thought would fit him best.

The rest of my day was more or less the same, talking with my customers and making phone calls, setting up appointments with them, debating on trying to get them to come into the store. I knew I made about $750 today alone. I hope I get another successful sale day. Oh the joys of being a sales associate for a store. It was both a furniture and car dealership all in one. My company was the only one known for doing this. It literally was a one stop happy home shop. From ponds, to gardening, to cars, motorcycles, furniture, we had everything.

When I finally left work around 7:30pm I was dead tired. As soon as I walked into my apartment I collapsed on the couch just gone. I felt myself slowly slipping into unconsciousness. I wanted nothing more but to be asleep. It wasn't that I hated my job. I actually enjoyed it, however it was strenuous on my body.I was already back in the swing of my rather boring lifestyle. Work every other day and school every other day. Work on the weekends and have Penelope this was my life. I felt myself slowly fall asleep… on my uncomfortable couch… tomorrow was going to be fun

Kisame ~ Pov

It was already almost 3 months since Sapherya has disappeared. Itachi was struggling with is. I was struggling with it. We all were. Itachi, Hidan, Kakuzu and I have been collecting souls for this forbidden Jutsu we were supposed to use in order for us to bring back Sapherya. I felt a little guilty that 8 souls had to basically be sacrificed in order for us to get her back, but at the same time I miss my tiny person. She was like a little sister at this point. I, like Itachi would do anything to get her back.

We were gathering the last Jinjuriki soul today. It was the three tails. It was a loose tailed beast so it shouldn't be too hard to capture. We just need to be able to seal the beast in the scroll. I guess some of the villages have been warned and are protecting all the jinjuriki hosts rather cautiously. Not that we are going after any of the hosts any more. We were focusing more on just the two tails and the three tails. They were for the initial trade and the finalization sealing.

"There, mother fucking Jashin it's fucking huge but it's in the water!" Hidan yelled out and pointed his scythe in the direction of the huge three tailed turtle beast. Itachi nodded looking better than before. I guess that Deity really did heal him.

"Let's go" Kakuzu said gruffly he seemed rather pissy since he hasn't been able to go on any bounties recently. Itachi nodded and the four of us took off racing across the large lake in order to meet up with the three tails. Itachi pulled out susanoo and it pinned the beast in place with Kakuzu while Hidan and I attacked the beast.

"Water style: A thousand feeding sharks!" I called out after a series of hand signs. Hidan was attacking with his weapon while he left the jutsu work to myself. It took about 15-30 minutes for us to finally capture the beast killing it and sealing the final soul. This I expected, what I wasn't expecting was to be encased in a purple light. In merely minutes the four of us were standing in the middle of the blood fountain of Dàhēitiān. I felt fine this time, this place was truly odd.

"I see you have the souls I requested. Release only a single powerful one in return for the scroll of Kōtsū Shudan" Everyone covered their ears instantly, It was like a thousand voices talking all at once, both male and female. It was nauseating. Now I believe I know why Itachi had thrown up. Itachi looked like he was affected but showed no sign of covering his ears. I watched as Dàhēitiān handed Itachi a vile of what looked like blood and the deity spoke once again. "Here, you have to take a sip before reciting the jutsu. Your partner who I've already chosen to send with you will have to do the same, he doesn't need to recite the jutsu just sip the blood. The girls will have to take sips right before you recite the jutsu on the way back. These are the pre-instructions you'll need. However it is in the scroll already." With that he disappeared into the pond of blood as if he wasn't here.

We exited the cave and began our journey home. We will get the girls back. But what concerns me is the deity had already picked a partner to a company called Itachi. This is what worries me, who would that person be?

It took about four days to reach the base. We were non stop moving we only stopped one day to rest. Then continued the rest of the journey. Upon arriving Itachi walked into Pein's office alone and we were left in the hallway. Not long after Deidara walked in alone. So that is who is going with him, I'm not sure if I like this…

Itachi ~ Pov

I'm not sure how this is going to work. It seems impossible as I look over the scroll trying to decipher what it was wanting us to do. Deidara was looking at me confused and stood near me looking over my shoulder, which was frustrating me more.

"What does this shit mean Hmm?" He started to get annoyed. I grunted in response and grabbed the scroll of soul sealing and grabbed a kunai in my hand slicing open Deidara's palm. "Ouch! What the fuck un?!" He held his palm right under the mouth, I specifically avoided that area.

"Draw this sigil on the stone below you." I gruffed out a response doing the same to me. He stared at me and copied my movements and stood in the center. The sigil looked like a large circle with eight compass needles in the center laid an eye on the compass needles. It was odd and power began flowing through it. I was beginning to feel fear build up in the pit of my stomach. I coughed slightly staring at Deidara letting two souls out and immediately they were sucked into the eyes of our sigils. The eyes glow bright red and follow our movement like a pair of real eyes. It snapped, The Eyes of Dàhēitiān. I stare at them and then back at the transportation scroll writing down what he needed to say.

"Itachi lets go, this shit's weird." He said something strange in his voice that unnerved me. I nodded and we both shouted out in sync.

"Kōtsū-Shudan-No-Jutsu!"

A red light like blinding rage blinded my vision. I felt hot, like I was burning. Worse than that of Amaterasu. I felt like I was being sucked into the mouth of the burning hell. I could barely hear Deidara's screams from my own position. Since I could only hear, smell and feel I was basically blinded. The only thing I heard were his and my own screams, and that of the rushing wind. I could only smell the burning embers of the flame that surrounds our bodies. Was this what we deserved for tampering with dimensions? The fire felt like it was licking my skin from my body. Soon everything went black and cold. Much colder than that of the Northern Ice. I tried to blink the blackness away but it was like a darkness of never ending void. I heard Deidara's whimpers before everything went eerily silent. Soon after what consciousness I had left faded and I blacked out completely.

Sapherya ~ Pov

Penelope and I were walking towards the apartment I dug around my pocket for my keys, lifting them to the lock and twisting it hearing the deadbolt click. Walking in we covered our faces as a blinding red light flashed before us and we paused before it went away rather quickly.

"What the fuck?" Penelope asked and we both cautiously walked towards the living room inspecting it from top to bottom. There was nothing weird. We walked through the apartment and I gasped dropping my book bag at the sight in my bedroom. Penelope looked over my head and her gaze must have witnessed what I saw too meaning I wasn't hallucinating.

"Itachi… Deidara?" I softly spoke letting go a shaky breath I didn't know I was holding. Cautiously walking over I inspected the two males that were out cold on my bed and floor. I wasn't sure what to make of this. It was so surreal, it made my head hurt. I walked away and got some ibuprofen from my kitchen drinking some of my drink I had earlier and put down.

"Sphere, the… "People"… Are waking" She comments slowly her handgun aimed at them. I walked over and lowered the gun.

"Put that away you idiot before you shoot someone." I muttered, pinching the bridge of my nose.

"That's the purpose of it, ya know. It's TO shoot people…" She commented dryly. I shook my head and looked at the males who finally sat up holding their heads. I handed them both a bottle of water after opening it. After they took the water from my hand, they guzzled it down almost like they haven't had anything to drink in a while. Once they'd settled their thirst they both looked around, finally Itachi's landed on me and softened, something in them almost breaking. I looked at him confused, biting my lip.

"Sapherya…" He stood and wobbled almost falling over. He must have gotten dizzy. I felt tears well up and looked away, I hated crying in front of people. I tensed when I felt strong arms wrap themselves shakily around me. I heard his silent sobs and his tears slip on to my exposed shoulder. I looked up at the male who was holding me, slowly wrapping my arms around him.

"Itachi? H-How are you here?" I questioned hesitantly. I felt like he broke a little. It has been about a week since I initially left. That meant about 7 or 8 months passed in their timeline. Did it affect him this much? "It's ok, I'm here now…" I tried to comfort him.

"Ahem," Penelope cleared her throat raising a brow and stared at us as we just stood there. I shrugged a little and held the raven haired male, I felt my heart swell I had missed him dearly. I looked over at an uncomfortable Deidara. I raised a brow.

"You ok Deidara?" I asked concerned Penelope rose a brow at me and then turned to look at him. A light dust of pink washed over her cheeks and she continued to stare.

"Damn, he's hotter in person then I would have initially thought." I paused and burst out laughing. By this point Itachi calmed down enough for me to clutch my stomach, but his arm has never left my side. I guess he feared I'd disappear again.

"What the fuck un?" He asked, which sent me into fits of giggles again. I stared at my crazed friend and wiped a tear away with a smile on my face.

"Penelope, shut up hun before you make a fool of yourself."

"Bitch, don't you ever fucking tell me to shut up." Her eyes narrowed slightly and I raised my hands in defense.

"I surrender, I'm just saying you sound ridiculous." She rolled her eyes smacking me upside the head. "Ow…" I groan and rub the spot. I noticed Itachi narrowing his eyes ever so slightly.

"Whatever at least she's hot hmm, You've got yourself a sexy friend Sapherya." I rolled my eyes at that statement, fake gagging.

"You fucking bet I'm a sexy ass mother fucker!" She grinned at him and I rolled my eyes.

"Oh here we go, ew, just ew." I threw up my arms and walked out of my own room not putting up with this weirdness. Itachi followed close behind me. We walked to the balcony of my place and enjoyed the wind. His eyes widened as he took in the scene around him.

"You're world, it's so advanced. Do you have ninja? Why do I not sense any chakra?" He asked and then freaked out for a moment… Weird. I watched as he held a scroll close to him. I shook my head and left it alone for now.

"We have no ninja, nor any chakra, we are indeed very advanced." I started closing my eyes. I suddenly felt a pair of lips upon my own, my eyes flying open before closing again. I wrapped my arms around his neck smiling into the kiss.

"I missed you." I heard him softly say before resuming the kiss. I kissed him back for a few minutes before pulling away needing air. Panting I looked at him dazed. I didn't realize how much I missed this.

"I-I-I missed by-you t-to" I broke, I felt myself break and sobs wracked my body. I thought I could handle this but I couldn't. I clung to him and sobbed into his arms. I had to ask. I had to know. "Why are you here? How are you here? Are you going back?" I sobbed into him. His grip tightened on me.

"We looked, and looked, and looked for ways to bring you back. We ended up finding a forbidden scroll, and a way to bring you back… We will also be bringing your friend with us." I looked up at him and my eyes widened at this news. I didn't know how to feel about this whole situation. I was conflicted. Confused, excited, fearful. Everything just swirled into a mass of emotions that took hold of my body. When I was able to speak finally I came on a little harshly.

"W-what!?" my whole face held shock, mouth agape. He looked conflicted, hurt, confused…

"Is there something wrong with that?" He asked, stepping away slightly. I bit my lip and looked around. This was the world I'm from. I didn't even realize other dimensions had existed. I thought they were just stories made up by people. I knew deep in my heart, and in my soul that I needed to go back. Plus, it seems that my wish would get to come true. I would get to share my experiences with my new "family" with Penelope. However, I would have to talk to her, to see if she would even want to go with me. I felt my face fall slightly and a hand rubbed against my upper arm. I looked up a small smile upon my face. I took in a breath and slowly released it before finally responding to him.

"Fine, I'll agree to go back… Since it was so much trouble… However I can not leave just yet, I have some things to do in this world first." I stated. He nodded and his eyes lit up when I said I'd go. I shook my head and walked back inside. He was acting like a love sick puppy, it was so unusual to see this side of him, but I kind of enjoy seeing him this way. I entwined my hand in his as I walked into the living room. I stopped and stared, my mouth dropped in astonishment as I witnessed Penelope poking Deidara's hand mouth. "Geez kiss it and get it over with already." I commented and walked into the kitchen sighing. I needed a drink, so I pulled out a beer that Penelope bought me. "I'm too sober for this shit…" I muttered to myself. Itachi looked at me and raised a brow.

"Since when do you drink willingly?" I rolled my eyes, I seem to be doing that a lot lately.

"Since I was in my own damn home, why so nosy…?" I questioned and laughed walking to sit across from Penelope the raven haired male sitting close to me. I was feeling kind of suffocated slightly, I was really happy to see him and deidara again but for some reason I just feel like this whole thing was still a dream and it was kind of pissing me off in a way. I could feel my emotions slowly beginning to lose their cool. I took a shaky breath as I took a swig of my corona in hand. I guess since it wasn't long ago since I last saw them I'm having an easier time adjusting to seeing them again. However, I still am in slight shock that they were here at all.

"Sphere, it's barely four…" Penelope started raising an eyebrow, I just pointed to the clock shaking my head.

"Hun, it's freaking eight-thirty at night." I yawn slightly while drinking my wonderful corona. Oh such sweet golden liquid come and take me over. I begged in my mind, not wanting anyone to hear my strange internal I continued ingesting the drink and stood finishing it quickly yawning.

"Damn, you're like one of the few who can put a beer down like nothing." Penelope stares at me as she holds Deidara's hand.

"Whatever, you figure out where blondie is sleeping, I'm heading to bed. Itachi, follow me please." I held my hand out smiling softly to Itachi and watched as he obediently walked over to me.

"She's got you wrapped around her finger doesn't she Uchiha?" Penelope smirks. "I guess Sphere wasn't lying when she said you fell in love with her. It's funny because she fell in love with you too, she's been so mopey since she's come back." Itachi raised an eyebrow to me. I blushed and flipped the girl off, glaring and stormed away. Too much, Penelope was too much sometimes. I swear she's trying to be the death of me.

"Bitch…" I muttered

"Cunt!" I heard her voice echo.

"Whore!"

"Asshole!"

"Horse Shit!"

"Mother Fucker!"

"PRICK!"

"SHIT ASS!"

"SON OF A FUCKING GOAT! GO TO BED Penelope!" I scream from my bedroom..

"Face fucker" I heard her mutter. I looked up, my eyes narrowed as I stormed back into the living room.

"Okay, you mother fucking monkey balls coconut ass cheese rapist, Deidara is fucking sleeping with you. Now go to fucking sleep before I swear on all that is holy I will tell the professor I did all of your goddamn Science assignments this term!" I glared at her

"You wouldn't." She narrowed her eyes and my mouth turned into a smirk.

"Bitch, I would." I grin sadistically.

"Fuck… Fine you win the curse war this time. I'll get you next time." She grins darkly. I smirked equally darkly.

"You're on…" we both stared at each other for a while before we burst into fits of laughter. The guys look at us weirdly.

"What the fuck is a mother fucking monkey balls coconut ass cheese rapist, Hmm?" I blinked and rolled my eyes yet again.

"Just don't ask." With that I disappeared into my room and stripped into my undergarments. I heard the door close and I whipped around almost forgetting about the Uchiha. Oops. I blushed bright red embarrassed. "T-Turn around!" I snapped. I blushed way too damn hard. This was way too much for me.

"Why? You're beautiful. Besides it's not like I haven't seen you naked before anyway." I threw a pillow at him which he easily caught.

"Shut up ass hole and look away!" He rolled his eyes and laid on my bed taking his shirt off, I blushed royally my face heating up at my impure thoughts. I quickly threw a tank top on and my pajama bottoms. I skillfully took my bra off, the perks of being around guys so much. I climbed in my bed and felt him pull me closer to him. Blushing I turned to look at him with his onyx eyes, they were gazing into my soul. I smiled softly and leaned up to him kissing his nose. "Sleep my weird little Uchiha…" I yawn again and fall asleep happily snuggling into his warmth.

I woke up to my alarm alerting me that It was 7:15am. I needed to get up groggily. I yawn and go to sit up only to find I'm restrained. I looked back behind me seeing a sleeping Uchiha. I smile softly and remove his arms from my waist. He snapped his eyes open and watched me sitting up yawning.

"Morning." I laughed softly and stood up grabbing some clothes and walked towards the shower. I jumped in and smiled at the warmth of the hot water. I enjoyed my hot showers. They were soothing especially since I had work today then art class afterwards. I needed to officially give my two weeks and withdraw from school, but before any of that… I needed to talk to Penelope.
