:itachi's POV:

I had no choice,I slowly opened the door and walked down the stairs, luckily it didn't take long to find her, but when I did I wish I hadn't, deidara was face to face with Mai, "make me….." deidara had an awful sneer on his face, I knew Mai would get pissed so I walked up beside her as she drew her katana and was about to slice his head of(which I would have loved her even more if she did), then I grabbed her katana, using my charkra so it didn't cut me, "Mai….no…" she looked strait at me, "it started it….." her eyes had a hallow touch to them, then deidara made a bird and sent it flying, it blew up in Mai's face, "deidara,stop it!" when I looked back at Mai she had stiffened, then I saw it, there was a cut on her cheek and it was bleeding, "guys……her eyes are turning red…..i think she's hungry….." tobi backed away into the corner of the room, tobi's being stupid, if Mai see's him in the corner she'll attack him……I have to hurry…. I grabbed Mai's shoulders and looked into her eyes, "Mai, snap out of it……." Then she started to growl, "someone get a cage for the girl……tobi's scared…." Kizame had a huge smile on his face starring at tobi, "get a knife!" I looked at sasori and he threw the knife he held at me, I caught it, and with out thinking(again), I made a deep gash into left wrist,then I opened Mai's mouth and let the blood fall in, a couple secounds later she snapped out of it, "huuh?what happened? Itachi, your wrist!" she grabbed my wrist and stared at it, if she can stare at my bleeding wrist without sucking me dry then must be imuned to her… "im fine, I did it for you…" she used her other hand and touched the side of her mouth,then she looked at her hand, there was bloor on her middle finger " I….. I didn't attack you?" I shook my head then I passed out. I woke up in the infirmary, "ugh… how long have I been out?" "a couple hours……itachi….why did you do it?" I looked up at Mai, "……I guess I did it to save tobi's life….he was in the corner……."I shrugged and got up, the deep gash the used to be on my wrist was just a tiny little scar now, "there's another reason…….i know there is…." I looked at Mai like an idiot, "what do you mean by that?" Mai walked up to me and tilted her head to the right, "I mean that there's a reason why you do all of these things…..save me from falling,anoyying me, and now releiving my blood thirsty frenzy……why?" Mai looked annoyed by my questions so far, I can't tell her that im totally in love with her "I guess I do them with out thinking…." She didn't notice we were chest to chest(which was totally fine by me), she lifted her hand to my shoulder(never mind she does know…), "you can tell me why….im not going to run out screaming…." Yet… "ugh…..fine……im i___" right befor I could say anything pein walked in the room thank you great timing…. "yes leader?" I was about to go on all fours and kiss his feet I was so happy, "its time for her test…." And now my day is getting worse…., "come,Mia, follow me….you too itachi." Pein turned and walked out the door I followed pein and Mai followed me, in less then a minute we were in the fighting arena, "this is where your test is being held…you have 2 minutes to warm up."

:Mai's POV:

After he passed out the red headed boy ran and lifted Itachi's bleeding arm around his shoulder, "Mai, come on, I also need you with me…" the red haired boy motioned his head to the east, I followed him into a room with 6 beds, "this is the infirmary, stay in here with itachi……", "But why?", "itachi can be kina mean when he's alone without a person he likes…." The red haired boy shrugged, "whoa, backtrack a second, did you just say he likes me?" I could feel my cheeks turn red, "yeah, that's the reason he…kissed you, and the reason he slit his wrist, haven't you noticed?" I thought a second , "nope, his feeling confuse me…" the red haired boy sighed and left the room, a couple hours later itachi woke up, "ugh…how long have I been out?", "a couple hours….itachi….why did you do it?" itachi froze in place, "I guess I did it to save tobi's life…he was in a corner…." Hmm. I guess it's going to take me while to make him tell me….. Itachi shrugged, "there's another reason…..I know there is….." itachi looked at me like an idiot, "what do you mean by that?" I walked up to him, my head tilted to the right, "I mean that there's a reason why you do all of these things…..save me from falling, annoying me, and now relieving my blood thirsty frenzy…why?" , " I guess I do them without thinking…." We were now chest to chest, soft agents hard, I lifted my hand to his shoulder, "you can tell me why,… I'm not going to run out screaming..." now he definitely has to tell me, "ugh….fine…I'm I___" at that moment the red haired man walked in, itachi looked like he was about to hug the dude, "yes leader?", "its time for her test…." The man stood there emotionless, Itachi's pleased look turned to one of utter horror, "come, Mai, follow me….you too itachi…" the guy turned and walked out the door, itachi walked after him so I followed itachi ,we walked into this huge arena, "this is where your test is being held….you have 2 minutes to warm up." I stood there like an idiot intill I realized what he meant about warming up, "what?! I have to face everyone in battle?!" I whirled around to itachi who just stared at me with sad eyes, "itachi….please tell me the bad news if I lose….." itachi looked away, "it means I have to kill you….." my eyes filled with tears, "so does that mean I have to hurt/kill a member?" itachi nodded slowly. I sighed and took my katana out and looked at it, "I'm ready." Itachi have me a sad look, "leader she's ready to fight!"

: Itachi's POV:

I was staring at Mai when she looked at me with incredible speed, "what?! I have to face everyone in battle?!" I looked at her sadly giving her the horrid truth, "Itachi…..please tell me the bad news if I lose…." I could see her eyes fill with tears, I wanted to go over to her and tell her she doesn't have to worry but the sad part was that she had to face me too which defiantly wasn't going to be pretty, "does that mean I have to hurt/kill a member?" I nodded slowly and I hope its tobi she sighed and took her katana out, I knew what she was about to do and it hurt me to think about it, "I'm ready." She looked so confident; I gave her another sad look, "leader she's ready to fight!" I watched deidara jump down from the ledge along with Kizame, tobi, kakazu, konan, hidan, zetzu, sasori and pein. Mentally I sighed and went to join them, mai stared at zetzu and looked like she was going to fall to the ground laughing herself too-death, I didn't blame her, he did look quite funny with that Venus fly trap around his head, " ok mai you know what to do since you guessed right on the spot." Pein almost looked amused at mai's shock, "um….." before she could say anything else one of deidara's birds flew at her and exploded in her face, mai looked at deidara with hateful eyes and charged at him, another bird flew but mai jumped and twisted in mid-air avoiding the explosion completely , she landed right next to him and grabbed deidara by his pony-tail and flipped him, tobi grabbed deidara's arm and pulled him into safety before Mai could inflict anymore damage, " hate-full 'lil brat, hmm?" deidara pulled out another bird and flung it at her, zetzu ran behind mai and tried to take a bite out of her but she ducked and the bird exploded in zetzu's face instead of hers, "*&!!" zetzu growled at deidara, I sighed and stepped forward and did a couple hand signs, "mankyo sharingan!" mai looked into my eyes and she was instantly caught, "well done, Itachi." Pein looked at me and smiled, "huh?" I looked at tobi, he was pointing at mai, I looked at mai and she was gasping for air like she had a nightmare or something, she looked up at me and she looked so scared, "it…..I…..ohmigawd!"

: Mai's POV:

All of a sudden a whole bunch of people jumped off of the ledge above us, itachi moved next to them ,I almost burst into laughter when I saw the plant dude, "ok mai you know what to do since you guessed right on the spot." The guy itachi called leader smirked, "umm………." Before I could say anything else a clay bird exploded in my face, I gave deidara a hate-full glare and charged at him, another bird charged at me but I memorized the path I had to take because I've studied how to dodge them, I twisted into the air, missing the explosion, then I landed right next to him, I grabbed his pony-tail and flipped him, before I could inflict any damage tobi grabbed deidara by his arm and pulled him to safety, "hate-full 'lil brat, hmm?" he's calling me hate-full? Deidara took out another bird and flung it at me, right before it exploded in my face I ducked and it hit the plant guy who unsuccesively snuck behind me, then I looked at Itachi's eyes they were a red color, I was sucked into a different world, no wait I was having a vision, there was a fight between 2 people but I couldn't see who, I recognized a voice and it was mine, but the second one was one I never heard before, it was a husky voice, the voice sounded really teenage like. Then the vision stopped, "it….I……ohmigawd!" I knew at that moment my knees wouldn't hold me up any more because I started to fall, just like before, itachi grabbed my wrist and kept me standing only this time he pulled me into a hug, I was shaking so bad (this is what happens when I have visions I don't know are coming), "mai, are you ok?" itachi moved his head back a little to look at my face, "yes, I'm just weak from the vision." Crap, shouldn't have said that, "you see visions?" leader stepped forward toward us, I could feel Itachi's arms stiffen agents me, "um yes. All vampires have special abilities." Leader looked like he was thinking, "itachi, escort mai to her new room, she passed the test." Leader smiled at us, "mai, can you walk?" I looked up to itachi and shook my head, I saw the sides of his mouth twitch, then he swept me up into his arms and carried me to a room, it was cool looking, there was a desk that held a computer, a lovely view of a lake, and a master bathroom, "wow…." I couldn't help but be totally amazed, "there are cloths for you in the bathroom, pein will most likely be in her in a minute so you better hurry." He set me down on my feet and winked at me then walked away, Oh. My. God. I sighed and went into the bathroom; sure enough there were cloths on the counter, I grabbed them and pulled off the cloths I was wearing, I pulled the netted shirt over my head first, second the tank top that stopped a little below my chest, third the netted pants, fourth the skirt which stopped 2in. below my butt, then the cloak. I realized it had the same patterns as Itachi's and everyone else's cloths, I turned to the mirror to look at myself, I didn't recognize the girl who stared back at me because she looked so different, "hello, mai. I see that you're already dressed. Good." I turned to see the leader standing in the doorway to the bathroom, "um, hello." I turned away from the mirror and looked at him, "come with me." The leader turned around and walked out of the room, I followed him and he led me to an office, he opened the door and walked in and took a seat behind the desk I sat in one of the chairs in front of him, "ok, time for you to know the rules." Pein took out a piece of paper and handed to me. I stared at it,"oh and I'm going to go show you all the members." Leader got up and walked out of the room, I followed him into the kitchen where everyone was, he pointed to deidara, "deidara." He pointed to tobi, "tobi." He pointed to the shark dude, "Kizame." He pointed to the plant dude, "zetzu.", he pointed to the only other girl and hesitated before saying her name, "konan.", he pointed to a fairly young man with white hair, "hidan." A man with a face mask, "kakazu." Then he pointed to itachi, "and you've already met itachi." I shrugged, "'sup?" kakazu stared at me, "uhhhh.", I turned to itachi,"can you show me around?" I knew it was a yes by the way he looked at me, "sure." He looked at konan and she waved him away with a smile, he sighed and led me out of the room, "you know your way around here so why need me?" I looked at itachi, "to get away from them." Itachi looked at me then smiled, he walked really close to me, "you know, for a new member, you're really good at tricking everyone." I smiled at him, "I sure am." Then itachi grabbed my shoulder and pushed me into the wall, "wha-?" I was interrupted by lips on mine.

: Itachi's POV:

Mai started to fall so yet again I grabbed her wrist and hugged her wishing I knew what had happened, she was shaking so bad I was scared, "mai, are you ok?" I pulled my head back to look into her eyes, "yes, I'm just week from the vision." Vision? , "you see visions?" pein stepped forward toward us, "um yes. All vampires have special abilities." Pein thought about what she said, "itachi, escort mai to her new room, she passed the test." And she didn't even hurt anybody, pein smiled at us, "mai, can you walk?" I looked at her, she shook her head, I fought a smile, I swept her into my arms and carried her to her room, mai looked at the room in amazement which made me happy because my room was next door, "wow……." , "there are cloths in the bathroom, pein will most likely be here in a minute so you better hurry." I set her on her feet and winked at her before I left the room, ugh, I'm so stupid, she probably doesn't even like me…. I slowly walked down the hall and I saw pein coming this way, "hello pein." I walked past him and he sounded like he was talking to himself, I went to the kitchen where everyone else was, "hay itachi-samma." Tobi pounced to my side, "deidara get your partner away from me." Tobi let out a squeak and ran behind deidara, "so, how is the mai situation going?" I looked at konan who had a smirk on her face, "err…. I have no idea what you're talking about." I gave her my best death glare, "mhm……sure you don't." konan winked at me, I went to sit in a chair and pein and mai walked up, "deidara.", "tobi." , "Kizame.", "zetzu.", he hesitated, "konan.", "hidan." , " kakazu." , "itachi.", I almost smiled at her but it would have given me away, "'sup." Mai looked emotionless, "uhhhh." Then she turned to me, "can you show me around?" mai looked hopeful,"sure." I turned to konan who was smiling and she waved me out of the room, mai followed me , "you know your way around here so why need me?" mai looked at me, "to get away from them." I looked at her then smiled then I walked really close to her, "you know, for a new member, you're really good at tricking everyone." Mai smiled at me, "I sure am." I grabbed her shoulders and pushed her into the wall, "wha-" I interrupted her while I put my lips on hers, she cringed then relaxed and wrapped her arms around my neck deepening the kiss, by the time we pulled apart we were both breathing herd, she smiled at me , "I knew you liked me." I felt shocked, was it that obvious? "Don't worry I'll keep it a secret. Oh and by the way, we have a mission tomorrow because Kizame is going to get hurt." She waved at me and went to her room, "kizame's going to get hurt?" I blinked twice and went to my room, was it just me or did she actually like me? I sighed and lay on my bed, "wow…. That was a weird scene back there." I looked up in shock to see konan come into my room and sit in the only chair I had, "you saw that?" I felt sick to my stomach, "yes, but be glad I was the only one who did." I looked at konan with deadly eyes, "tell anyone and I will kill you." She shrugged, "at least I know what happens to Kizame." She went to get up but I grabbed her shoulder, "how does it happen?" I sounded like myself again, "oh he gets in a fight with deidara and deidara blows up kizame's legs. Which is happening now." I opened my door right as there was an explosion from the kitchen, "ouch." I looked to my right and saw mai, "we couldn't have stopped it anyway." Mai shrugged and went back into her room, there was yelling, pein was chewing off deidara's head most likely, "serves him right." Konan smiled at walked down the hall, "dude…..chicks are crazy." I shuddered and went back into my room. What surprised me was the note on my bed, "what the heck?" I picked up the note, it was a lovely poem

I was sitting under the moon, watching how its features looked like you, so I decided to visit you tonight, so look around your room, look around my room? I turned around and mai was standing in the doorway, "humph, I was hoping you wouldn't get it that fast, you could have waited till I closed the door." Mai smiled at me, "you shouldn't do that…. Someone can get killed." Mai laughed at me, "yeah, and it's not going to be me." She thought that was funny? I sighed at her and handed her the poem, "take it and go back to your room.", "um excuse me but I didn't break into you room for you to hand me that. I came in here to talk to you." Mai placed her hands on her hips and stared at me,"go ahead." I sighed and looked at her, "first of all can you be a little less annoying? And second of all I don't like the idea of konan knowing what happened back there." I looked at her in shock, "I'm annoying? The last time I checked it was you who was the annoying one, you and your whatever attitude. And it's not my fault konan saw what happened." I had to keep my hands in fists so I didn't try to kill her, "well you're the one who keeps kissing me every time were alone, the only reason why you're not doing it now is because you're arguing with me." Mai had her upper-lip slightly lifted, "first of all, I'm not kissing you every time I get a chance, and second of all it's not because we are arguing it's because I'm not one of those creepy stalker people who do those kinds of things for fun." I turned on my heels and went to my bed, "oh and this discussion is over." I waved mai out of the room.

: Mai's POV:

When itachi kissed me I felt someone walk into the hall, I couldn't help but not turn my head, I had cringed at how sudden the kiss was but I relaxed, then I let my arms snake around his neck, when he finally pulled away we were both breathing herd, I couldn't help but smile at him, "I knew you liked me." I saw his face go blank, "Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret. Oh and by the way, we have a mission tomorrow because Kizame is going to get hurt." I waved good-bye to itachi and went to my room, "ugh….great a mission with itachi, this will be very interesting…" I sighed and laid on my bed, then I remembered the moon was out tonight so went outside and looked at it, I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote a quick poem and went to Itachi's window, konan was in the room, she saw me and went to go out of the room, itachi grabbed her shoulder, I silently opened his window and placed the poem on his bed,"…which is happening now." Konan winked at me and went out of the room, I ran past itachi and pretended to be coming out of my door, then the explosion happened, I saw Itachi's face grow with worry, "ouch." When I said that itachi glared at me, "we couldn't have stopped it anyway." I shrugged my shoulders and went into my room, you could hear yelling from down bellow, itachi probably hates me…. I should have stopped that argument between deidara and Kizame……oh well. I went to my door and opened it, I looked around to make sure no one was looking and I slipped into Itachi's room, before I could close it itachi turned and looked at me, "humph, I was hoping you wouldn't get it that fast, you could have waited till I closed the door." I smiled at him, "you shouldn't do that…. Someone can get killed." I almost fell over laughing so hard, "yeah, and it's not going to be me." Itachi looked surprised for less than half a second then he handed me the poem back, " take it and go back to your room.", "um excuse me but I didn't break into you room for you to hand me that. I came in here to talk to you." I placed my hands on my hips and stared at itachi, "go ahead." Itachi sighed at me, which really aggravated me, "first of all can you be a little less annoying? And second of all I don't like the idea of konan knowing what happened back there." Itachi looked extremely shocked, "I'm annoying? The last time I checked it was you who was the annoying one, you and your whatever attitude. And it's not my fault konan saw what happened." I clenched and unclenched my jaw, "well you're the one who keeps kissing me every time were alone, the only reason why you're not doing it now is because you're arguing with me." I had my upper lip somewhat lifted , "first of all, I'm not kissing you every time I get a chance, and second of all it's not because we are arguing it's because I'm not one of those creepy stalker people who do those kinds of things for fun." Itachi turned on his heels and was at his bed, "oh and this discussion is over." Itachi waved me out of the room, I growled at him and went out of the room and tore the poem, I placed it in my trash can and flopped on the bed, looks like I was going to have to work hard on tomorrows mission, I closed my eyes and let the heat in the center of my body take over, there were shops all around us, I recognized the ramen shop, there was Kiba and Hinata walking by us, but the vision faded away and all I saw was black, I slowly opened my eyes and sat up straight, there was trouble with my vision and I didn't know what, was it b/c the future undecided at that moment or was it because I was dead. I looked at the clock, it was only 2:00 a.m. , I laid on the bed and sat there, knowing I couldn't sleep (even if I wanted to), I got up and went down to the kitchen, pein was talking animatedly to zetzu, "……but who's going to take kizame's place on today's mission?" zetzu saw me and he pointed my way, "what about mai?" pein turned around and looked at me, "is she strong enough to get Naruto to us?" I froze in place, "you….want me to get Na…Naruto?" I stuttered at his name, "yes. Is it too much for you since he was your friend?" I shook my head, "um no, actually that's a great idea, he would most likely come with us if I was there." Pein looked at me then smiled, "good, I'll wake itachi up in a few hours, you look like you need some sle-"I cut him off, "I'm a vampire, I don't sleep." Pein looked surprised, "not even during the day?" I almost laughed, "Your thinking of stereotype vampires." I sat in the chair, "oh, then what do you do?"Zetzu piped in but shut up in 2 seconds, "well, we have unbelievably hard skin; it's not very easy to hurt me. We don't sleep, we don't burn to death if the sun touches our skin, and can live forever and we look like any normal human." I smiled innocently at them, "good, but can your skin face the kyubi's teeth?" pein lifted his brow,"don't know, haven't tried to figure that out." I shrugged, but this is going to be a close one…. I can feel it, itachi slowly came into the kitchen,"hello itachi, ready for your mission?" pein looked at itachi, he already had two bags packed, he threw me one, "what the-?" I looked inside the bag and saw my cloths, "you went into my room?" I glared at itachi, "we've got to get a head start."," it doesn't give you the right to go into my room!", "that didn't stop you." Itachi turned out of the room and went out the front door, I snarled and slung my bag over my shoulders, "get back with the kyubi." pein yelled from the kitchen, "whatever." I mumbled and went outside, itachi was leaning against a tree, "well come on." He shot off into the trees and I had to jog just to keep up with him, "you're so slow." I mumbled and shot off into a run, I was at least 6 miles ahead of itachi when I sat against a tree, wonder how long it's going to take him to get here I slowly opened my bag to look for my hair brush, I found it and swept it through my hair, a few minutes later itachi stopped in front of me, "how-can-you-run-so-fast?" itachi was gasping and holding himself up against a tree, " easy, I'm a vampire." I smiled innocently, "well, then jog because I can't run that fast." Itachi's breathing slowed down, I could see the pulse I his neck still throbbing, "Na, I'll meet you at the gate." I put the brush in my bag and shot off again, I heard itachi groan and sit down, he sounded like he was in pain, if he was then it was either he was bleeding, or he had a cramp, I slowed down a bit and came to a stop, should I go back? I turned toward the direction of itachi, I thought about the possibilities, I closed my eyes and let the heat in the center of my body take over, I saw itachi leaning against a tree panting, I opened my eyes again and went to itachi, "what are you doing back here?" itachi breathed hard, "I saw you like this from a vision so I came back here, are you ok?" I kneeled down next to him, "yeah, I just ran too fast trying to catch up with you." Itachi took a deep breath and began to slow his breathing, "how about we rest for a bit. That sound good to you?" I sat on the grass, "sure." Itachi put his head on his knees and took deep breaths. I looked around suspiciously, it's quite, I don't like it…., I looked over to itachi and he was looking to his left.
