I'm noticing a pattern, it seems like every other chapter I struggle with my writing. Don't get me wrong, I liked this chapter, but there were some scenes where I would spend HOURS on thinking "I hate this part, change!" This chapter had so many branching paths that I literally had to call up my beta and talk to her on which one to do. I don't do well with choices DX that's how people die!

The side story… perfectly happy with, no reason to complain. It made me smile, so I'm good.

Thank you guys so much for the fave, follows and reviews, also prepare to see some roasting cause we had a good one ladies and gents!

StudentoftheBible: First off hun, if you're going to preach to a straight A English student who's breezing through college essays like it's a joke, please make sure you're using proper grammar, capitalization, and punctuation. You, on multiple occasions, forgot to cap the f in "Father" and the g in "God", and many of your sentences were run-ons with no commas. Second, when you have both an Agnostic and Buddhist fact-checking your work, you failed to do your job; the commandments are not Jesus' but Moses', please review your own bible if you wish to teach me about your God. On a side note, my other friend, who is a devout Christian and grew up with the bible, found you obnoxious. ^-^ And thirdly, if "anime, games, movies, books and ect are the work of the devil" then hail Satan, cause he is downright HOT in most animes! I hope you feel special, as you are the first religious reviewer on this fic! All you did was give my story more attention. Thanks!

VenaHope: Deidara won't, but Kakashi will. :3

18Dragon: Thanks!

Asia1990: I will definitely consider the whole Uzushio bit with the Mask Storage Temple, considering it gives me an excuse to keep messing with Orochimaru! Kishimoto was pretty bad at planning, and his editor was a control freak (at least based on the interviews). Regarding Honoka, I did look her up a long time ago and to be frank, if I did not watch the filler when it first came out, I have zero intentions of going near them. Unless the Akatsuki was in an episode or it was based on the light novels, I stopped watching all filler after the Pein invasion arc. Plus with college, I do not have much time to watch filler. Sorry :(

ArmsCannos34: Your review made me laugh XD, also yes, that engrish!

MidnaMoo: (love your username btw) The struggle is real right there. I know the feeling all too well.

silverwolf310: Awww thanks! X3

MelonLordOfMelons: Stop killing me with laughter! XD Kurama really is a glorified pet and yes, ninja noodles is best noodles. I would kill to try chakra noodles lol.

Tanner Clark: I already had several scenes written out literal weeks ago. It was just a matter of minor touches and adding in the rest of the chapter. Helps that I work on chapters ahead of time when an idea smacks me. :3 And that dragon is totally canon in this story. XD

Reaper: Maybe :3 Loving the Avatar:TLA fans!

ladybug002: Glad you are enjoying the story!

Notsae: It gets more noticeable later on but he is rather devoted lol. It's his family and reason to live, so he's gonna be protective.

"Blah" - Talking

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, but if I did the Pein vs Naruto battle would have had a better animation budget! More action less Looney Toons


The following morning, I couldn't get out of bed, my entire body was weak and my head was spinning. Kimi had taken my temperature when he noticed I didn't leave bed before they did, I really hope I'm not sick and this is just a phase.

"... You're staying in bed Nii-sama…" He showed me the thermometer, damn, 39°C. "I'll ask someone to check on you while we are on our missions… I'm sorry we couldn't stay to watch over you."

Thankfully, I haven't developed a cough, but I could tell that arguing or making my brothers worry is one of the worst things I could do, "It's fine Kimi… I just… need...sleep, un…" Annnndddd I pass out.

Waking up, what I assume was a few hours later, I see Hinata putting a wet cloth on my forehead.

"Deidara-san! Hello." Hinata helps me drink some water then has me lay back down.

I give her a weak smile, "Hey sweetheart… How have you been, un?" Being a clan heiress and now a genin in a different team has limited her time being with us, but it makes me happy to see that she is more confident. Hell, I heard from Hiashi that her stuttering is almost gone completely!

Hinata twiddled her fingers, old habits die hard, "It's good… Shino and Kiba are nice and Kurenai-sensei is supportive. We had the day off today, so Kimimaro-san asked me to check up on you… Do you need anything?"

Hinata, I cannot wait for you to be my sister-in-law. I begin to shake my head but that made me get splotches in my vision, "Owww… No, I'm okay… just… tired." It's been literal years since I got sick, this body has such a strong immune system. I guess I'm sick from the extreme stress of everything that's happened leaving my body.

That, or it's because I exposed myself to hot springs, Tsukuyomi and dusty old graveyards in a single day. I live off of stress.

Hinata tilts her head and I couldn't help but notice that her hair is shoulder length, tied into a bun, it looks cute on her. 'I'll have to get her a hair pin for her birthday… wow I have weird thoughts when half functional.' Hinata interrupted my thought process with a question.

"But… I heard you haven't eaten…"

"I'm not hungry, un…" Why is she pulling out a piece of paper?

" 'If Nii-sama claims to not be hungry, heat up some soup and from the fridge and make him eat.' Kimimaro-san wrote this." Damn me and my parental rules.

I sigh in defeat, "Alright. But I'm getting up, un." Hinata helps me get to my feet and I quickly put on some fuzzy slippers and a bathrobe over my pajamas. Walking into the kitchen, I help her prepare the soup and then sent her to watch some TV while I ate.

"Yo!"

I jolt in my seat and look to see Kakashi sitting next to me, I could tell he was smirking. Thanks asshole.

"Morning Kakashi…" I yawn, too tired for sass. "Need something…?"

He leans to my ear so Hinata can't hear, "We received a mission to escort a bridge maker named Tazuna. If I see the puddle then… I'll do what I can to keep Zabuza and Haku alive."

I give him a weak smile, "Thank you… if you wish, have the chibis go all crazy on Gato, tell them they have my permission, un." If they get permission to do certain things, I know Sasuke won't hesitate. Naruto would hesitate, but join in once Sasuke started having fun, and Sakura is turning into a mini-me, she'll hop into battle… man, I did not expect that to happen in the slightest. (AN: Scares my beta to think about it.)

Kakashi pauses for a moment, "And if the two Kiri shinobi resist…?"

"Tell Zabuza, 'When you first met Haku, the boy smiled at you and said "your eyes are just like mine"' Tell them that there is someone in Konoha that knows about them and is offering them sanctuary in the village, un." Kakashi ponders at the idea before nodding.

"Alright, but don't expect much." When he stands, I grab his wrist.

"Ask them if they remember a boy with white hair and green eyes, un!" Kakashi pauses and looks at me. I only let go of his wrist when he nods.

I relax in my chair and finish my soup, people in this world have amazing memories thanks to the constant usage of flashback-no-jutsu. But at least I've increased the chances for those two to live.

Apparently eating drains more energy than it should, after I ate I made a beeline for my futon and crawled under the blankets. Playing with some clay until I fell back asleep, the the same time I felt Hinata leave the apartment to go home.

I woke up ever so slightly later when someone picked me up. The only reason why I felt this was due to being ill, my body was hyper sensitive and I keep my room cold. Counterproductive I know, but I don't like warm rooms. I weakly groan in protest, trying to roll away to return to the blanket. The person holding me shifts me into a more comfortable position and flared some chakra. 'How nice… their chakra is fire… fire is warm...' I couldn't help but snuggle into the warmer body.

My eyes closed before I could look at whoever picked me up, all I know is that they were wearing black.

Undisclosed time later

I woke up in some bed, I know it's none of my brothers' because the bed was black and void of personality. Naruto's bed has an orange blanket with green frogs on the trim and Kimimaro's… was also void of personality, but it had his dragon plush!

The room was also unfamiliar, dark wooden walls and flooring, with a black carpet. I turn my head to see a desk with a short redhead hunched over something that looks like a puppet.

'Wait… red hair…? Puppets…? WHAT?!'

Even in my fogged up mind could see what was wrong with this picture, "Sas...o...ri.. da-" I smack a hand over my mouth before I could say "danna", the honorific was alien to me, but my brain automatically added it to my speech. Damn my fangirl habits!

Sasori turned to me with a blank expression, "About time you woke up brat, you know I hate waiting."

'Huh…?' I discreetly have my palm mouth bite its tongue hard enough to feel it, 'Not a dream, that's for sure.'

"Um… I'm… sorry?" I slowly sit up, causing the room to spin before me. I nearly collapsed when Sasori puts a hand on my back to steady me and put a glass to my lips.

"Drink, it's medicine, you're ill." Gee, you don't say? I had no idea, I thought I sat in an office chair for five hours.

I jerk my head away at an instant, 'Right, like I'm stupid enough to accept anything from you.' I glared at him as he rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"It's not poison brat, I'm not going to kill my partner." My brain blanked long enough for him to make me drink the suspicious liquid.

"Part...ner, un…?" What the fuck?!

"You must really be sick to make you forget the last five years. You lost to Itachi at the temple, and became my partner." As if to prove my point, he holds up my right hand. Staring back at me was Deidara's Akatsuki ring with the kanji for blue on it.

My mind went into a frenzy.

"BULLSHIT!" I shove Sasori away as I spring out of bed, blood rushed out of my head but I kept myself steady by putting a hand on the post. "This is BULLSHIT! I am not part of the Akatsuki! I am Deidara of Konohagakure, older brother of Uzumaki Naruto and Kaguya Kimimaro! And YOU!" I jab my finger at his wooden chest, "are not my partner, un."

He folds his arms, like a parent would just before scolding their child. Ironic because I'm almost a head taller than him, "What proof do you have of these 'brothers' brat?" Sasori, I love you, but call me brat again and I'm gonna shove a colony of clay termites down your throat.

I slam my hand on my collarbone with an audible "smack", before noticing the lack of medal around my throat. Repeatedly patting my neck and chest I look in my shirt, my heart dropping.

I don't have my necklace, I never take it off.

I take a slow shaky breath, guess whatever Sasori gave me was indeed medicine as I felt my head clearing up. I look at the redhead, blood rushing to my cheeks as anger grew in me. "Where is my necklace, un?"

"What necklace? You never wore one."

'This has to be some kind of trick.' I slam my foot to the ground, making him raise an eyebrow. How convenient, Hidan and Kakuzu are not in this location. I can't piss off the Jashinist long enough to make him spill.

But Itachi's here, so there is a silver lining.

"Forget it." I storm out the room, thankfully I can be all Toph about this hideout and locate people. Provided they don't pop out of nowhere like a certain jackass!

"Senpai!" OH JESUS FUCK DAI-... Wait, wrong person.

Standing in front of me was Tobi… I feel my entire body tighten in fear as I stare at his orange mask. 'Run, run run run run! Danger danger danger danger!' It's been five years! I could possibly kill this asshole and walk away like it's nothing.

So why does Obito cause so much terror to flood into me…? Maybe it has to do with kamui, if he catches me in that jutsu, I'm as good as dead.

"Senpai! Leader asked me to bring you to him!" He grabs my wrist and proceeds to drag me, I try to pull away but damnit, Uchiha's have vice grips!

"I don't have time to speak to Pein! I need to speak with Itachi, un!"

Tobi looks at me from over his shoulder, "Aw, but Senpai! Leader demands that you be seen! Itachi-san is busy!" His grip tightens as I am practically thrown into an office.

Pushing myself up, I look to the other side of the room, and sitting in a chair was Pein and Konan. I would have to be an idiot to not notice Tobi was hiding in the shadows too.

"You seemed to have recovered." Pein doesn't even provide a greeting.

I back away slightly, "This is wrong… I never joined the Akatsuki, I ran before you guys could make me join, un." My anxiety spikes to the point of panicking when I feel myself getting pulled back to my original spot, thanks to Pein's bansho ten'in.

Pein slowly rose from his chair, I can tell why he is considered a God, he has no aura. Like an otherworldly being, he doesn't need a presence to be respected, "You have been in the Akatsuki for five years now, due to a mission gone wrong, you have been rendered unconscious for several days with a high fever. Sasori has been watching over you the whole time."

I almost believed him for a moment there, Pein doesn't have a heartbeat, he can lie. "I don't believe you... I'm a shinobi of Konoha, the older brother to someone YOU are hunting, un."

Konan joins the conversation, "Do you have proof that you are a member of Konoha?"

My hand automatically reaches for my necklace, but it's gone, I quickly feel for my headband and rip it off. My heart stops.

It was an Iwa headband, perfectly slashed acrossed. What… the… fuck...

My hands shake so badly the object falls and lands on the ground with the noises clatter I have ever heard. It echoed in my head, I need the truth, I need to know if this is a dream.

I need to speak to Itachi.

"Do you have proof Deidara?" I look up at the woman.

"... No… no I don't, un…"

"Then whatever you thought happened were all from delirious dreaming, you fever was-"

"YOU CANNOT MAKE UP THESE MEMORIES!" Everyone stops, my arms flail in each and every direction as my mind floods with memories of the past few years, "You can't! I can feel every moment I hugged my kids in my arms! I can smell the scent of the stupid shampoo I had Sakura pick out! I can taste the first time Anko tricked me into having Sake! I can feel the insanity that waved over me as I slowly erased Danzo from existance, bit. by. bit. I refuse to believe that I joined this fucked up organization that thinks kidnapping will bring peace, un!" Pein responded by yanking me to where I am now standing right in front of him.

My whole body goes stiff when his hand lands on my shoulder, "You seem to need convincing."

I look up at him dead in the eyes, his rinnegan stared at me without an ounce of emotions. I do need convincing, but not from him.

"I want to speak to Itachi. I refuse to cooperate or believe a word that you say, I will only listen to him…" Pein nods at Konan, who then leaves to collect the weasel.

I cautiously take a peek at the corner where Obito is standing, I can see his sharingan eye drilling a hole in my back. I quickly keep my attention to Pein, is looking at me like someone would a bug. I don't fear Pein, but I respect him enough to keep my head down and one arm hugging the other to take up as little space as possible.

'...I wonder if I could save any of the Akatsuki… probably not… Kisame is too loyal, Pein and Konan… maybe… but doubtful, Hidan and Kakuzu are WAAAYYY up on my kill list… same with Zetsu. That leaves Sasori and Ita-'

"You summoned for me Leader-sama?"

I bolted to Itachi faster than a fangirl seeing an accurate cosplayer. He is literally the only person I feel safe enough to be around right now.

He looks down at me with a blank expression, I resist the urge to greet him with his nickname as I grab his sleeve, "Itachi, tell me the truth, am I part of the Akatsuki or not, un?"

"You are. You lost to me and agreed to join us." The fact he didn't hesitate kills me on the inside. There was nothing on his face, but a blank expression, as if he was looking down at me. I feel anger bubble inside me, the rational and irrational sides fight to take over my thought process as I felt my face grow more and more red.

I grit my teeth, "Use your Tsukuyomi on me, un." Konan and Pein exchange glances as Itachi slowly blinks

"Pardon?"

"You heard me, look into my memories. Do it or I'll tell everyone about M-"

One pair of red eyes later and I am in the genjutsu.

In the Tsukuyomi

"You panic too easily Deidara."

I whip my head in his direction, he was more relaxed and looking at me with concern in his eyes.

"What the fuck is going on?! I'm sleeping in my futon back in Konoha, then suddenly I'm at the Akatsuki hideout with Sasori in the same room and he makes me drink some weird liquid and calling me his partner and- mmmf!" Itachi had covered my mouth with his hand to shut me up.

"Breath. I will explain." He only removes his hand after I take a few breaths and relaxed my shoulders. "You've been asleep for three days, and whenever you started waking up Sasori would drug you. Obito had Pein give the order that if you were to wake up before Sasori could knock you out again, we were to pretend that you joined the Akatsuki. Your delirious state would have you believe the past five years were all a dream."

"...Does he really think I'm that stupid, un?" No response, "...Are you the only Uchiha to exist besides Shisui that wasn't a complete asshole?" Again, nothing, I facepalm. "Figures."

"How did you figure it out though?"

I point to my feet. "The original Deidara focused so much time on his art and countering the sharingan, he forgot to work on his sensing. I can tell where people are, what they are doing, and if they lied, un."

"Smart." I beam at the praise.

Though the ego boost quickly deflates, "Itachi, I need to get home. Naruto will return soon and I need to prepare for the chunin exams, un. Orochimaru will be there… If I don't return before then… Sasuke will…" Itachi puts a hand on my shoulder.

"That is what this genjutsu can be used for. I'll help you create a plan. Or at the very least I can find a way to return your necklace."

I bite my lower lip in thought before giving Itachi a small smile, "I owe you, un."

He shakes his head, "No. You do not owe me anything."

So we sat down and began working on scenarios.

Outside the Tsukuyomi

Third person POV

The three adults quietly wait for the genjutsu to end, it only took three seconds for Deidara to collapse at Itachi's feet.

Deidara pushed himself into a sitting position, his face pale and eyes dulled over. Konan observes this carefully, 'His spirit broke...?'

"This… It can't be… They're memories… not dreams..." The bomber hugs himself, Konan eyes Pein, who after giving her a nod, goes to the teen and helps him stand.

"Come, you should rest." Deidara limply hangs his head as the woman leads him out, Itachi only follows long enough to exit, then returns to his own room.

Konan takes Deidara to a new room, one that was next door to Sasori's as he was Dei's partner. Having the blond lay down Konan gave him a once over before leaving.

'I thought he would not have been fooled by such an easy trick. But, Madara knows best.' She sighs before returning to her partner and best friend. (AN:Let's be real, who else began humming "Mother knows best" from Tangled?)

Deidara's POV

It is so easy to act depressed when your brain thinks about sad things from… literally everything. Itachi and I planned out a few different ways for me to escape and during the final few hours we just viewed a shit ton of sad things from my memories, ranging from anime deaths to soldiers coming home.

I swear Itachi sniffed a few times. He's adorable when emotional.

I stare blankly at the ceiling, focusing my chakra onto my palm mouths. I realized while in the genjutsu that while playing with my clay back home, some of it was still in the mouths before I passed out.

For some reason Sasori never thought to check them, despite the fact I spent three days unconscious in his bedroom.

That sounded more dirty than intended.

I snicker to myself but pause when I hear the door open a crack. I lift my head to look only to scream.

"GAH! Sorry Senpai! I didn't mean to startle you!"

"Then why the fuck did you slowly lean into my room like a creeper Tobi, un?!" I hold my hand over my heart trying to steady it. Things are bad enough when Obito freaks me out, I don't need the Tobi mask to give me a heart attack.

He rubs the back of his head, "Ahhhh… I thought you were asleep, but since you are awake, can I ask you something?" He begins to enter the room closing the door.

'Don't panic, don't panic, Sasori is next door and the walls are thin enough to where I can hear him tinkering." I push myself up completely, tucking a leg under my chin I motion to the random chair in my room, which he childishly plops into it backwards. "What did you want to ask, un?"

"What did you dream about?" I stiffen, should have seen that coming, "Sasori-san said you mumble in your sleep. Can you tell me what they were senpai?"

'What do I say? He knows too much for me to bullshit my way out of this! … Wait, I'm a nerd, talking is what we do best!'

Without hesitation, I gave him a detailed description of the Kingdom Hearts storyline.

HOURS later

"And that Tobi, is how Sora and his six other versions of himself defeated thirteen Xehonarts, restored light to the worlds, and married his best friend Riku!" I ended the whole thing with a big thumbs up. I totally lied about the last bit, but seeing a man in his thirties squirm uncomfortably was too much fun to pass off.

I have never seen someone's whole body show physical regret until now.

"Umm...that's fascinating Deidara-senpai… I uh…"

"I also had this other dream where a young boy made a contract with this super sexy demon that became his butler-"

"Thank you senpai! I'm going to let you rest now!" He storms out of the room slamming the door shut.

Deidara:1. Obito:0.

I somehow forgot he was Obito halfway through my detailed explanation of how attractive Axel was. Leave it to fangirling to forget your fears! Though, I can already tell things will not be pretty when he decides to drop his facade.

Oh well, he killed Konan, he deserves any form of torture I can give him.

I quickly slide off my bed and felt for any spying, sensing none I get to work. Using what little clay I had left, I made a clay bird and some frogs. Placing the amphibians against my wall I quietly pray that I'm fast enough to get away.

"Art… is an explosion! KATSU!"

BOOM! Oops, too much chakra.

I threw the bird outside, poofing to a flyable size and hopped on just as Sasori barged in.

"Hey Danna! If you ever meet a girl named Sakura, don't fight her! You'll die, un!" Just before flying off at high speed, I see him send a puppet after me. I threw the last of my clay at it, blowing the doll up. "Sorry! I don't like puppets, un!"

I fly through Amegakure, completely soaked within seconds but I keep my flight pattern wild and jagged to avoid any unwanted landings.

By the time Pein stopped the rain to send Konan after me, I was long gone.


Time skip cause I'm too lazy to fly, wee!


I crash violently into Konoha, sending my body flying into someone.

"Oh! My youthful friend! Lee, get help! Neji, get your friend!" I never thought I would miss Gai this much.

Within a matter of minutes I'm surrounded by people, all asking various questions as I am being sent to the hospital. As the doctors check my vitals and bloodstreams after mentioning Sasori, I explain to both Team Gai and Team Anko.

"I was captured by the Akatsuki, drugged and almost tricked into believing I joined them… I managed to escape thanks to someone on the inside, un." Anko and Gai looked confused by that last part, that means I have connections inside the Akatsuki.

Kimimaro wraps his arms around me in a tight hug, he was shaking… I worried my brother so much, "I-I'm sorry Nii-sama… If only I had stayed home…" Tears began leaking from his bright green eyes as he refuses to let go of my shirt.

I put a hand on his head and returned the hug, "Shh… no Kimi… you didn't know, I didn't know either… I managed to get away, that's what matters, un."

"But… what if…"

"If you finish that statement I will kick your ass, un..." I give him a kiss on the forehead and Neji carefully removes Kimimaro off me so Anko can take over the spot. She punches me in the arm with a laugh, ow...

"You had me worried Dei-chan. Kimimaro came running into my apartment at three in the morning yelling about how you were missing. I had to knock him out before he began screaming." I look at my brother who is being comforted by his shorter friend.

"Sorry for worrying everyone…"

Gai pipes up, "It's quite alright! Now that you are back the village is youthful again! Come Lee, let us run 100 laps around the village in celebration!"

Lee shoots up his arm, "YOSH! Gai-sensei! If we fail we must run another 100 laps on our hands!"

Gai gets anime tears, "Oh Lee! Such youth!" The nurse then kicks the two out before they could make another sunset.

Said nurse politely turns to me, "Good news, whatever you were given was actual medicine. The drugs you were also given caused no harm to your body, they were low dosage sedatives, nothing addictive."

I sigh with relief and slumped myself against Anko, Sasori was actually telling the truth when he said they weren't poisons. He really was prepared to accept me as a partner.

I'll make sure he lives during shippuden.

"Thank you, un." I signed myself out of the hospital and went home with Kimimaro, everyone else left at the same time.

Seeing as it was getting late, I made Kimimaro and myself dinner then took a bath. I've been unconscious for three days, I don't care what happened during that time, I just want to feel clean…

This just keeps getting worse in my head.

"Kimimaro, I'm going to sleep. Goodnight, un." I head to my room but was stopped when my brother practically materialized in front of me, "Yes…?"

He stays quiet, before lowering his head and starts fidgeting, his cheeks flushing red with embarrassment… Kimi, you're 15, stop being so damn adorable.

"Did you want to sleep with me tonight, un?" I couldn't hold back a smile when he nodded. "Go get your plush."

He went to get it without hesitation as I quickly change into some comfy clothes, settling in my futon, Kimimaro snuggled next to me and possessively hugs my stomach.

"Uh… Kimi…?"

"I will kill anyone who tries to take you away from us." Before he fell asleep.

… Okay, I won't complain. I kiss his head gently before hugging him close.

"Goodnight Kimi-baby..."

Middle of the Night

Taptap… tap

Gee, this seems familiar.

Not wanting to get up I give my window a thumbs up to indicate that I'm okay.

Taptaptap… clink

Did Itachi's crow just clink?

I violently twist my head to look at the window, staring into a pair of red eyes, Itachi's crow taps at the window again.

Tap clink tap

I carefully climb out of bed, mindful of Kimimaro's death grip. Silently reaching over and opening the window, "Itachi, it's…" I look at the clock, "2 in the morn-" I stop mid sentence and did a double take on the clock. Yep, 2:26 in the morning.

Before I say anything, the bird hops to me and drops something in my lap, staring down at the object, I had to resist the urge to kiss the bird.

My necklace, the boys' photos are in them too.

"... Thank you, Itachi, un." The bird ruffles his feathers as a slight breeze entered my room. Yikes it's cold out!

"You can sleep over birdie." I return to my futon after closing my window.

That's how I ended up with my protective younger brother clinging to my waist, and a feather duster pressed against my head.


Side story #5: Itachi (During the hot spring Tsukuyomi scene)

"3-2-1 MAKE SOME NOISE!"

At some point while having Itachi review the anime and manga, I just stopped caring that he was standing next to me and allowed my inner nerd to come out. I would mimic quotes, laugh at some scenes, or, like I am right now, burst into song whenever an opening or ending happened.

He didn't seem to care, if he did he never made any comment to stop me.

I began going through my own memories to review details I had forgotten. But I didn't expect Itachi to do anything besides looking at the anime and manga, he's mature enough not to snoop.

"Deidara… What am I reading?" Well… I have been wrong before.

"Hm? What did you find, un?" I carefully walk over to Itachi and look at the memory, it's a lot of words. Turns out that the sharingan translates English words into Japanese, he just cannot understand it verbally.

"Let's see… Itachi is a new student at Konoha high and encounters…" I can feel my face heat up as I breeze through the reading, "Um… oh my…" It appears that the Uchiha has found the fanfictions.

Now, in my old life, I read all kinds of fics, but I mostly read T rated stuff and anything M was usually in the horror genre. I tend to prefer fluff and cute moments over the hardcore stuff. Though I would read it from time to time.

Itachi, sadly found the hardcore stuff. And he has been reading them.

"Uhh...You were not suppose to see this… At all…"

"I can tell."

I let out a nervous chuckle and quickly lock away all of the fanfiction memories, "Please do not read those. They hold no important information, un." I quickly returned to my area and was watching Kabuto teach Obito about his version of the Edo Tensei.

"... Hmm… so that's how Madara became youn-"

"Sexy eyes, sexy nose, sexy mouth, sexy love~"*

Fuuuucccckkk he found the MMD.

"Itachi, please do not watch the MMDs!"

"... Why am I in an apron?" Jesus Christ, I understand Itachi is a teenager, but come on!

"Someone made a computer model of you. There was an animated short of you making eggs dressed like that, un." I then resume my watching. "Okay… the hand signs are…"

"Why is an older version of my brother kissing Naruto…? There's also picture of you and me-"

I bolt to him, "ITACHI! For the love of all things holy, don't follow your namesake* and STAY AWAY FROM THE FANART, UN!"

I had to monitor what he viewed from now on.


I am not kidding, that Akatsuki bit had at least 5 different branches just from the Pein talk alone! Don't even get me started on what would have happened had Dei believed them. I have not struggled to make a decision in so long, and I play Telltale game!

The side story was inspired by a review from MelonLordOfMelons and that was fun to write. Anyone catching all of my hints I've been dropping the past couple chapters? PM me if you figure it out! :D (I want people to figure it out without reviewers spoiling it lol)

*The MMD Itachi watched was: 【MMD NARUTO】 Uchiha Clan X Sexy Love by Kamui0210 on youtube. Check out their work, they are amazing!

* Weasels are known for being curious little buggers X3

The next chapter is in progress, expect an update this weekend my lovelies! I know my schedule is a mess, I just update whenever I'm happy with a chapter.

As usual, reviews are loved and I will catch you guys later!

Bye!
