(Yumi Uchiha)

I watched as Ashley started to see the pattern in my attacks as I kept pulling her in and out of the Genjutsu and punching at her and spiking me chakra for her to know when I would attack, I'd soon have to let her try Itachi's method and I was trying to avoid it but Itachi was here and he was enjoying the way I was smiling and having fun with Ashley.

I flipped back carefully as I finally noticed Ashley attack back as she got out of the Genjutsu by herself, "ah, finally getting it" I smiled when I noticed her body language slump slightly to the side in annoyance at my comment and replied sarcastically at me in more annoyance "Oh, shut up!" I noticed her falter for a moment and saw what made her falter for a moment, Deidara entered the room quietly, I laughed and kept sidestepping every punch she threw at me and finally just gripped both her wrists in my hand and pulled her close to my body and gripped her chin tightly and pulled her out of my Genjutsu.

I twisted behind her and knocked her knees out from behind her and kicked her to the floor only to see that she had finally used a clone, I smirked and twisted around in time to dodge a punch to the face, I looked towards the door and saw Deidara tense when he saw my glowing eyes looking at Ashley, I smirked as perfectly executed my Genjutsu.

I gripped her face in my hands and put her through a last one to see how long this took her, I breathed hard as I felt a large amount of chakra leave my body as I put her though. "Have fun with Deidara in this Genjutsu Ash," I let out a deep breath out as I watched her body tense then fall to the floor in a slump.

I rolled my shoulders and kneeled down by her shivering and shaking form as she mumbled and cursed out to herself before her body went slack, I tilted my head to the side I watched her chakra flow slow down as my Genjutsu proceeded to stop her. "What did you do to her, un!" I glared harshly at Deidara as he ran over to look at her still form on the ground "Don't speak to me that way, Dei. . ." I growled at him and was satisfied when I saw him flinch at the cold menacing tone of my voice.

I watched as Deidara looked down at Ashley in worry but watched as he frowned to himself in anger. I arched an eyebrow at that as I watched his face as he went from emotion to emotion from every five seconds.

I looked back and smiled when I saw Ashley's chakra flow start to flow normally again, I pushed Deidara away and quickly dodged a kick from her foot as she blinked a couple of times and then look at me in anger.

"Oops, was that a bad move?" I asked as she frowned at me then replied cautiously "I don't like how you can already see what makes me weak. . ." I hummed and looked behind her to see a shocked Deidara as he listened carefully to what she said, "Not my fault you have a weakness for men with art fetishes, like oh. . . say Matt Smith. . ." I murmured to her softly as I chuckled to myself but stopped when I felt a punch to my side as she sent me a few feet away "Shut up, Yumi!" I bit my lip to stop from laughing out loud and then I silenced myself when Ashley quickly grabbed my elbow and tossed me into a few trees in her anger of my comment and what I teased her about in the Genjutsu.

I moaned out in pain as I felt the pain of my spine hitting at least five trees hit all places of my back and head, I rolled onto my back and looked up to see a worried looking Ashley then her smile as she realized at what she had done.

"Y-you beat me" I coughed out and spit out some blood as I coughed a bit and looked to her at the side, "Good job" I sighed and slowly stood up as I started to brush away all the dirt on my clothes and the leaves all over.

I looked back at Itachi to only see him sitting down by the wall with his eyes closed, I stepped away from Ashley and looked into her eyes as she tried to figure something out, What she was trying to figure out was beyond me but I let her have a moment to herself.

"I'll let you have a break, go check with Dei-kun to see what he wanted earlier when he came to watch us fight. . ." I whispered and slowly started to step toward Itachi to talk to him, I couldn't touch him.

'Don't touch him Yumi' I kept telling myself over and over as I got closer to him.

(Ashley)

I am really starting to get annoyed, why is it that I get sucked into the world of ninja and they want to do it rip me to shreds or fuck with my head.

Even my best friend is messing with my head. As I dodged another hit not knowing if it was real or not. And her spiking her chakra randomly wasn't helping. Her aura was fuzzy no matter what I did because when I sensed charka, like when Lys fucking spikes it, I can't read it right.

I noticed a leaf that was falling in a loop. This was a genjutsu I spiked my own chakra to disperse it. I aimed a hit at Lys but she just flipped out of range, laughing all the way. I pouted, she shouldn't be having so much fun with this. Then I also realized that she wouldn't know the spikes would mess with my aura sight. I rolled my eyes, that bitch, I'm not that weak that I need an early warning. Especially since my aura sight does that anyway, when bitches don't be trippin.

Lyssa smiled like the chesire cat, "Ah, finally getting it."

I cocked an attitude with her, because I know that's what she wanted, "Oh shut up." Only half annoyed I was about to smile at her when I saw his aura.

It was flickering again, like he was confused. But I shook it off, I need to get a least one hit on her. I mustered all my strenght and threw everything I had it to hitting her. I summoned a clone that of course hit nothing as she vanished the clone's every hit. Then just as my clone was about to land a right hook she made a grab for the clones chin pulled my clone and myself into reality.

She didn't notice it was a clone as she beat it down, I took my chance and aimed for her face. But instead she turned and grabbed my face. I didn't hear what she said as I went down cursing into the abyss. I was so close to hitting her that time too.

….

I groaned, hand to my forehead, "Goddamn it knocked out again." I sat up and opened my eyes then immediately shut them again. I was in Deidara's room again. I rolled my neck and massaged the bridge of my nose, "You know," I yelled finally not giving a fuck what my teammates thought of me, "You, Sasori and I need to have a talk about," I made air quotes, "Personal Boundaries." I stood up and looked around his room, "Deidara?" I asked not seeing him.

Then I heard the shower going. I rolled my eyes, and walked over to the door. Slamming my hand on the door I yelled, "Hey asshole! Did you…" I stopped abruptly as the door opened to reveal a half naked Deidara, steam billowing from behind him, towel riding very, very low on his hips.

He leaned against the doorway and sexily smiled at me, "Did you need something?" A blush rose to my face. This was like how described a sex scene when I had a crush on Matt….

Awe. Hell. No. She didn't. I then sensed her chakra in my system. She did.

…

I aimed a kick at the nearest person to me. I blinked out the last residual bits of her chakra out of my system. She of course dodged and had the audacity to say to me, "Oops, was that a bad move?" Like she doesn't know that I have like no real experience in, in that sort of thing. I felt my face color.

I avoided her gaze embarrassed, "I don't like how you can already see what makes me weak. ." She could always tell who had my attention at any given time.

But what made my blood boiled was that she just danced around me and sang "Not my fault you have a weakness for men with art fetishes, like oh. . . say Matt Smith. . ." She got to close in taunting me and I finally landed a hit on her side.

I screamed, "Shut up, Yumi!" Because that really was the only thing I could think of I was so embarrassed. I grabbed her elbow as she laughed at me and I felt the chakra flow into my muscles as my anger.

And I surprised both her and myself when she went through multiple trees. I was terrified that I really hurt my best friend when she didn't get up at first. But then she rolled over, and I could relax, maybe I could survive this world. Lyssa said something but I was still trying to figure out how exactly I managed to put that kinda chakra behind that. I thought only medical nin had that kinda chakra control.

Lyssa coming over and patting my shoulder is was broke me out of my analysis of this new skill. She smiled at me, but her aura was wavering, and calmly said "I'll let you have a break, go check with Dei-kun to see what he wanted earlier when he came to watch us fight. . ." I smiled back only with shinobi that send a person through a tree isn't friendship ending.

I noticed Itachi's aura was brighter than normal, I smiled at my dazed friend, obviously those two like each other. But then I remember she said Deidara came and watched our fight, how much did he see?

I ran back into the base, leaving the love birds behind, please if there is a god Deidara didn't hear what Lys said about the genjutsus.

…

I finally found Deidara, and he wasn't alone he was talking to Kisame. They had a plate of sushi in between them, having a serious conversation (that I really hope isn't about wasn't I thought it was about). Hoping to lighten the mood I knock on the doorframe, "Hey cannibal-san, Deidara-san. Is it alright if I make some food, or will I be interrupting your guys conversation?"

Deidara gave me a startled look, but I wanted to conserve my chakra so I couldn't see his aura. But Kisame just gave a huge belly laugh, "No you won't be interrupting our conversation." He smiled with all his teeth, "What weird thing are you cooking this time?"

Use to Kisame questioning my cooking I just rolled my eyes, if they were talking about me then he wouldn't be this chill. I bared my own teeth at him, "None of your business cannibal-san if you're just going to insult it." I saw Deidara's confused face, and realized that I should clue him in, "Just because where I come from has different tastes doesn't make my food weird." I looked through the cabinets seeing all the ingredients for a garden pasta salad I decide to make that. Start to pull out what I need I listen to the two. Deidara and Kisame didn't restart their conversation from earlier, instead Deidara launched into highly colored description of Lyssa's and I earlier fight. It was so obvious that he didn't like Lyssa and would do anything to make her look bad.

Guys are so childish, but from the way he was talking he didn't hear about what the genjutsu she put me in.

Thank god. I even had a nice meal with him and Kisame, after they both made fun of my "brothless soup" and actually tried it. The three of us talked about what justus combinations were the best. I smiled it was the first time I felt truly normal since arriving.

(Yumi Uchiha)

Itachi was looking up at me as I got closer and closer to him with each step, I tried to keep the blush on my cheeks away as I got closer and closer to him. Itachi had always affected me greatly and I never liked him knowing just how much he really affected me.

"Itachi, come. . . I think we should get some food, I already started her on what you would've done with her" Itachi smirked at me as he reached for my hand as I started to take a step away "lie(no), Ita" I narrowed my eyes at him as he tried to grab my hand again.

I gasped sharply as he shot up out of his sitting position and shot forward towards where I stood, I gasped and jumped back as I dodged his hands as he grabbed for my hands. I twisted away from his grasp and side stepped as he kicked out his foot towards my legs and quickly tried to hide away from his sight as he reached out for me one last time I flipped back and smiled at him as I saw a glint of annoyance in his eyes then disappear as me and him stared at each other for awhile.

I turned away first and floated away in feathers when I felt his fingers touch my arm softly.

(Ashley)

And I spoke too soon about it being normal. As soon as our meal was over both Kisame and Deidara proceeded to drag me into the actually outdoor training field. Kisame told Deidara how people with the ability of Ice Release could also manipulate water without the use of hand signs if they were especially gifted. I rolled my eyes and pouted because I just wanted to finally take a break from all this craziness but nooo Kisame just had to pick me up like a sack of potatoes and carry me.

Not only that but the two chatted like two old ladies about who had the least flattering bingo book entry in each country. I propped my arm on Kisame back and held up my chin, "If you ladies are done tittle-tattling I would really like to be put down." But the only response I got was Kisame jolting me so I hit my jaw and bit my own tongue. I crossed my arms and thumped them on his back, I even let out a growl. "Fine both of you are going to have to explain to Yumi-chan why I am late."

But it seemed like saying that did the trick because Kisame started to lower me to the ground. With a huge smile on my face a brightly said, "Why thank you for being reasonable Kis….." but I was interrupted by fish-asshole taking my feet and launching me into the air. Went so high in the air that I got to witness the two jackasses laughing as I approached the lake.

These bitches are going to learn today.

Prepped my body for the impact with the water and mentally prepared my plan. As I hit the cold murky water it wasn't hard to act surprised. I come back up pretending to gasp for air, there was a reason why I was always chosen to test the new lifeguards at work. I bobbed up and down three times while splashing around. This is just too much fun I saw that both Kisame and Deidara looked freaked out. I inhaled a deep breath and pushed my two arms together while streamlining my body.

And I sank right to the bottom, so now is the hard part, making sure the two chuckle heads don't catch me coming back up for air. I concentration and looked at both the mens' aura. But I almost laughed ruining the whole thing. I swam closer the edge of the water opposite of them as I felt two ripples of water.

Hook line and sinker.

I quickly scrambled onto the bank and looked up. And I saw Lys trying to contain her laughter, of course she would find us right now. I put up a finger to shush her as I made my way to sit on a branch higher than hers and waited to see how long she was going to make the two suffer. Serves them right.

As I wrung out my hair I giggled, "Hey Yumi-chan I think I just out ninja'd two S-rank shinobi."

"Hm." I rolled my eyes somethings never change, but her tone let me know how much she enjoyed it.

I hated the feeling of wet clothes and thought about how my bra wraps covers a lot more than some bathing suits. But then I thought about the three large scars on my back I tried so hard to hide. I squirmed while by being entertained by the two shinobi frantically looking for me, I can't stand wet clothes. I bit my lip but decided to fuck it, everyone here has seen worst scars. I tore off my two shirts and my shoes. However I still was decent, I kept my pants and hand protectors on plus my weapons (cuz they were going to be pissed when they figured it out).

(Yumi Uchiha)

I was laughing so hard as I kept watching Ashley troll the hell out of Deidara and Kisame over and over again and again.

I watched as she kept doing it repeatedly then dragged Deidara away as I saw ice starting to spread over the water towards his feet, I pulled him back roughly and watched as he fell to the ground and looked at me shocked. "Sorry Earth user, Neh" I smiled at him as I watched his face morph into that of a angry face.

Ashley stood in front of us suddenly as she commented on how it was still worth it getting her tiny little revenge, I shook my head in exasperation as she walked away, I tilted my head to the side as I looked intently at the scars on her back, three harshly jagged gores that could easily be seen because she took her shirt off, -I remembered the ROOT ninja that had done it to her when I ran away with her before making her disappear- though some covered by her somewhat of her strap bra that was mostly held by bandages like most kunoichi.

I walked over to her and passed her, her discarded clothing and patted her shoulder "Well at least I won't have to teach you how to act." I smiled and clapped her on the shoulder and looked into her eyes "For deceiving S-rank shinobi I think a nice bath is in order." I waved to the boys and kept chuckling to myself at Ashley's behavior towards them.

Ahh, her cute little fun...

(Ashley)

My sheet of ice across the lake was thinning I couldn't concentrate on repairing it as I instinctively sent water justs back at Kisame. Most of them I had only had a chance to practice the hand signs, but I was doing ok for being under trained.

Kisame flashed a grin at me, "Dem-chan you may have gotten the upper hand by freezing the lake and Samehada." His grin grew wider as I stiffen in anticipation, "But you forgot to not stand on water." I looked down at my feet and the shock of me standing on water made me lose my balance as Kisame's sharks hit me.

I flew up in to the air and skidded across the ground, I felt the skin on my back getting tore up. I belatedly thought to myself, I should have kept my shirt on. I stopped on my back only six inches away from hitting the tree, I looked at the tree and said, "Ow." I felt both Lys and Deidara land from their spots onto the ground. I tilted my head back to look at them, "Still totally worth it." I snored like a guinea pig, as I rolled onto my shoulder blades and sprung into a standing position. "The look on both of your faces was priceless."

Deidara looked unamused but Kisame was in good spirits after beating me. Lyssa laughed, "Well at least I won't have to teach you how to act." She clapped a hand on my shoulder and passed me my discarded clothing, "For deceiving S-rank shinobi I think a nice bath is in order." I begrudgingly put back on the wet shirts and shoes as Lyssa waved to the boys. "Jai ne!" And dragged me back to the compound.

And next chapter a bath scene hijinks!
