"No questions so far?"
"Don't you think that those two are actually quite cute together?"
"Who?"
"Tobi and Yumi."
"They're practically opposites..."
"True."
"No other stupid or meaningless questions?"
"Just one."
"Hm?"
"Did you ever have a girlfriend?"
"What does that have to do with the story?"
"Itachi asked you something similar to that."
Sasuke sighed. "Ignoring that question..."

Itachi sat thinking on the chair. Yumi sat on the other chair opposite of him at the table.
"Done thinking yet?"
"Does it look like it?"
Yumi shrugged. Tobi watched the game carefully. Itachi finally moved a piece.
"You can be so predictable." She sighed. "I win." She leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms.
"..."
"Wow Itachi, if I remember correctly, this is the first time you lost in years!" Tobi exclaimed.
"I'm pretty sure I would remember that..."
"Aw don't be a sore loser Itachi." Kisame came in. "Konan just got a call. Pein's coming soon." Tobi fell out of his chair.
"When?!"
"um..." Kisame checked his watch. "About...5 minutes."
Yumi watched the conversation being tossed back and forth.
"Such a short notice." Itachi pointed out.
"Actually...Pein decided to er...surprised us...Konan said he didn't feel like calling when he left his home. He's in town already."
"well, duh! I mean 5 minutes away is still in town!" Tobi shouted. "Then again, it could depend on how fast you're going."
"No time for stupid stuff!" Deidara came in running. "He's bringing everyone else!"
"Oh. I'm sure you'd love to see Hidan again!" Kisame snorted. Deidara punched.
"Shut up! I'm not gay!"
"if you say so." Kisame sighed, then avoided a fist narrowly by ducking. The bell rang. "You're house Itachi. You answer it." Itachi sighed and got up. Yumi stared at everyone confused.
"don't worry Yumi-chan! It's just our friends!"
"from hell." Deidara muttered. It was quiet. The four listened as the door opened and there were some murmurs.
"...they're in the kitchen. And Tobi's got a new friend."
"Friend?" Suddenly three figures came into the room. One being Itachi. One having a mask (um...yeah let's go with that!), one was in the living room or something (which means not there), and another one having gr-
"Are you old?" Yumi asked the gray haired man pointing at him.
"Do you know who you're talking to girly?"
"A man with gray hair, which means he's old." She answered bluntly. Deidara was cracking up.
"Yumi, his name is Hidan. He's very violent, I suggest not aggravating him." Itachi raised an eyebrow at her.
"You know as much as I want to believe you," She coughed causing Hidan to twitch, "I'm pretty sure I've seen worse."
"How much you want to bet?" Hidan retorted a sense of over confidence radiating over him.
"What's the worst thing you've ever saw? In real life."
"Rotting flesh on bone, and the head detached from the body part of it's face eroded."
Yumi smirked. "A boy being torn apart limb by limb, his back arched, spine broken, and skin burned and bruised, some flesh missing, showing the ribcage and a rotten heart. Fingers cut off and stuffed in the mouth." She closed her eyes, remembering. "Plus everything you just said."
"You saw this?"
Yumi waved a hand. "how could little innocent me make up something so disgusting?"
Just then Konan walked in. "I can't disagree with the little part, but I'm not so sure with the innocent." She said. "Hidan. Kakuzu." Each nodded at recognition. Yumi glared at her for the half insult, indeed Yumi was quite short for her age, but she wasn't that short.
She was just the shortest among everyone in the house (Sasuke's not there).
"You know her?"
"She's my best friend." Konan crossed her arms and glared at Hidan.
"I wonder if Hidan gets along with anyone?" Yumi thought out loud. Said gray haired male turned his glare at her. She held her hands up. "Just a thought."
He growled. "Please tell me that this wasn't the 'friend' of you Tobi's you were talking about Uchiha."
"Apparently it is." Hidan groaned.
"Great another smartass bitch."
"She's quite amusing though." Kakuzu said. Yumi raised an eyebrow.
"Yup! That's why Tobi asked Yumi-chan out!" Tobi yelled.
The newcomers were silent.
Itachi, Deidara, Kisame, and Konan counted down in their minds.
5...4...3...2...1...
"What?!" Hidan yelled. "You...she...Tobi...ugh!" He managed to sputter out before he stormed out.
Yumi checked the time. "Wow, it's only been 1 minutes and he already hates me. New personal record."
"You are one strange girl." Kakuzu noted.
"Why thanks." Yumi muttered. Tobi then grabbed her wrist.
"Come on Yumi-chan! Let's go!" Before anyone could say anything the two were out.
"A strange couple if you ask me." Kakuzu stated.
"Actually, they're more alike than you think." Konan said the corners of her mouth twitching upwards slightly, pulling over her white teeth, showing a small amount of them. "That's why I introduced her to Tobi first."
"Now when you say they're alike...would that be good or bad?" Deidara raised an eyebrow.
"Why would it be bad?" Kakuzu asked.
Deidara, Kisame, and Itachi were silent. Sasori and an orange haired man decided to come in at the time.
"Uh...hey." He greeted a bit awkwardly.
"Hello." The man nodded.
"Hey Pein." Konan waved, leaning on the counter.
"Answer the damn question." Kakuzu growled.
"What question?"
"Why would it be bad if Yumi and Tobi were alike?" Kakuzu answered with a question. He, Hidan (though he was not really in the room) and Konan obviously unknowing about Tobi's 'unknown' evil and scary side.
"Well...cause Tobi is annoying...?" Kisame answered unsure.
"Kisame." Konan hissed. "You guys didn't eavesdrop did you?"
"Yea, we did." Sasori answered, obviously not caring about the consequences.
"'We'?"
"Yes, that would be Kisame Deidara and I."
"And Itachi?" Sasori shrugged.
"He had his phone open with us on, we heard a very strange conversation with Tobi." Pause. Everyone stared at Itachi, since he was not usually the person responsible for such a thing. The Uchiha merely shrugged. Then walked out.
"Are you serious?!" Konan yelled at Sasori, who leaned forward (his back was facing her), due to the power of her voice, his face blank and bored.
"Yes."
LlLlLl
"T-tobi! Where are you taking me?" Yumi stuttered slightly, her now declared boyfriend still making her jog slightly to keep up with his taller form.
"You'll see!" He smiled. Then suddenly he frowned and stopped.
"Tobi?"
"I forgot to invite my friends!!" He scolded himself. Yumi sighed.
"Just call them."
"but it'll ruin the surprise!!"
"I won't listen." Yumi covered her ears and turned around to emphasize. Tobi sighed. He dialed Itachi's house.
"Hello?"
"Itachi! It's Tobi!"
"Don't yell, I can hear you just fine."
"Well, the pier is opening today! So...do you guys want to come? I forgot to ask you guys. I didn't want Yumi and Hidan to get into an argument." He said.
"Uh..." Pause. Tobi waited patiently. "okay. We'll meet you there."
"Okay by-" beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep "He hung up...Okay Yumi!" Tobi turned to his girlfriend, who had her hands down already, she was staring at something. "Yumi?" He touched her shoulder. She turned around. "Are you okay?" He asked her unsure.
Yumi smiled softly. "I'm fine. Don't worry, just spacing out."
"Okay! Let's go!" He punched the air, and once again dragged her to the shore of the beach.
LlLlLl
"What's with the bad side of Tobi anyway?" Konan asked. "I don't understand."
"You won't unless you see or hear it." Deidara said. Sasori then looked up bored and slowly though.
"I have the recording of the conversation." He said.
"Whoa, whoa. Wait, back up a second. What?" Hidan said finally calmed down after his meeting with the young girl. "Tobi has a bad side?"
"According to these guys." Kakuzu said jerking his thumb at Sasori, Deidara, and Kisame, Itachi was not in the room at the moment. Pein stayed silent, his face unreadable, but Konan caught a glint in his eye, showing that he knew something. She didn't say anything however.
"Well where's the rec-"
"Guys. Let's go. We're going to the pier." Itachi came in interrupting. "Tobi'll get mad otherwise..." He muttered the last part to himself.
They walked out.
"So what about this recording?"
"recording?" Itachi asked.
"Sasori recorded the conversation." Kisame said. Itachi glared slightly at Sasori.
"You seem a bit more talkative than normal Itachi." Pein stated. The others froze, and stopped walking, even though Pein kept walking. He stopped and turned. Everyone stared at the Uchiha.
"..." Itachi chose not to answer. He started walking, and passed Pein. After a few seconds, they followed the Uchiha. No one spoke after that.
"Itachi!! OVER HERE!!" The group looked over to the source of the sound. They saw Yumi hugging what looked like a stuffed rabbit to her chest, Tobi waving at them hysterically.
"Hey Tobi." Itachi greeted as Tobi brought himself and Yumi over.
The girl's mouth opened slightly when she saw them. "Pein?"
"Hello Yumi. Good to see you again."
"Um...mind filling us in?" Konan asked.
"Well." Tobi said, putting a hand on Yumi's waist. "Remember that day when I wasn't there? I brought Yumi to Pein's! They got along really well!" Yumi sighed as Tobi yelled.
"Whoa...that's a first..." Hidan said, Pein shrugged.
"Come on Tobi." Yumi smiled. "Let's go on the Ferris Wheel! I have never been on one before."
"That's a good idea!" Tobi said.
Yumi turned her head to the group, her head tilting. "Do you guys want to come?"
"Not if you two are going to make out or something." Hidan muttered.
"I wasn't even thinking of that...are you perverted or something?" Yumi asked. The gray haired male flushed with anger.
"What's your fucking problem?!" He was going to attack her but Kakuzu held him back.
"please Yumi-san, don't aggravate him." He said after calming Hidan down a bit. Yumi shrugged.
"I'm pretty sure whatever he would do to me, I have gone through worse."
"And...-" Sasori started but was interrupted by Konan.
"Come on! Before the line gets long."

Sasuke paused. Sakura looked at him, expectingly.
"Sasuke?"
"It's getting late." He looked at his watch. "Why don't you stay over with us tonight? I'm sure your father wouldn't mind." He smiled.
Sakura nodded. At times, Sakura would stay at the Uchiha's, she had her clothes and necessities there so all she had to do was call her dad. Or not, it didn't really matter since he really trusted Sasuke.
Sasuke offered her a hand and Sakura took it and stood up. When they walked outside, the sun was setting, leaving a nice shade of warm colors, which always made Sakura smile.
Suddenly, Sasuke's cell phone rang. "Hello?...oh...well Sakura is staying over to-...well, I'm sure she wouldn't mind...see you in a bit...yeah, bye Tobi...oh, and next time don't yell..." Sasuke closed the phone while closing his eyes.
"So...?"
"Oh, right. Well, after what happened with Itachi, his friends are going to stay over. So it may get loud tonight."
"It's fine!" Sakura smiled. "So should I just sleep in your room (OMFG!! I know what you're thinking. Don't be so perverted...just like sleep inside his room, not in his bed! O.O)?"
"You can still use the guest room. Besides, they'll probably end up sleeping on the couch." Sasuke paused for a moment, "except for Konan. she's more classy than that."
"True." They reached the front door. Sasuke sighed and pulled out a key and unlocked the door. He opened the door.
It was surprisingly quiet.
"Hey Sasuke." Kisame greeted.
"Any reason why it's so quiet tonight?"
"Itachi's still depressed." Sasori answered. He looked at Sakura. "You started to tell her the story?" Sasuke nodded.
"With Itachi's permission." He said.
"How far did you get?"
"Right before the Ferris Wheel."
"I hope you're telling the right story." Tobi said. Sakura was a bit shocked at Tobi's serious tone.
Deidara noticed this. "If Sasuke got that far in the story, then you shouldn't be surprised."
"I know." Sakura sighed, "But I can't help but be surprised."
"hm." Sasori said.
"What happened after that?"
"Hehe." Deidara chuckled sadly. "It's the first time Itachi felt something for a girl...other than hatred. And other than Konan, but he never saw he more than a friend."

Yumi stared out the window in awe of the landscape of Konoha (yes they live there...).
"You've never been on a ferris wheel?" Itachi asked.
The other occupants in the room stared strangely at him, they would by Deidara, Kisame, Sasori, and Tobi. The others were in a different cart...thingy...what ever they're called!!
"I have, but the scenery was never this beautiful." Yumi answered, obviously not noticing the stares. Tobi was sending a glare at Itachi.
Suddenly the light coming from the car (WHATEVER!!) went out and it stopped.
"Oh how typical." Deidara muttered to himself. Yumi giggle slightly, soon resting her head on Tobi's shoulder.
They heard a loud speaker saying something like, "WE'RE SORRY BUT WE'RE HAVING SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES!! WE'LL TRY TO FIX IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!"
"We can hear you just fine you retarded man." Deidara again muttered.
"Oh don't be so mopey. Besides we have an amazing view!" Yumi said. It was quiet after that for a few minutes, and soon Yumi had fallen asleep her head still resting on Tobi's shoulder.
Tobi then growled quietly at his cousin. "I told you already. stay away from her."
"I understand Tobi. All I did was ask her a question."
"But it's no surprise that you like her."
Itachi had no response. The two glared at each other, while the others looked from one to the other. I wonder if they would rather jump out of the cart...what ever, or suffocate from the high tension...I also wonder how Yumi is still asleep.
"I'll take that as a yes." Tobi said coldly.
But before Itachi could respond, there was a sudden jolt of movement, which meant that the Ferris Wheel was working, and that Yumi had woken up. And it also broke the heavy tension.
"So what happened while I was asleep?" Yumi yawned slightly as she got off the cart...thing...WHATEVER IT IS!!
"Nothing!" Tobi smiled at her.
