Oh... My... Jesus! Life. I hate it. With a passion of fiery hate for... LIFE! Stupid school. Stupid people. Stupid family. Just... UGH! *spazz attack*

Well now that that is over, I give you Chapter 12. i have to say this is the longest chapter I think I've ever written. Since my birthday is Saturday, [the 11th] I thought I'd give you something and here it i! About the chapter... I'm not sure about it... Hopefully you all like it.

Chapter 12

Gaara really did not want to open his eyes. He wasn't a morning person by normal means and he knew that this morning would be even worst. 'Why exactly did I play that game...?' he wondered as he slowly cracked his eyes open, only to be met with more darkness and the smell of.. was that lavender? With hints of vanilla? He pulled back a bit and saw the sleeping face of Mizani and smiled a bit.

"Mizani." he called softly, "Mizani wake up." She groaned a bit and snuggled deeper into his chest. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Zani, I'm sure my chest makes a very good pillow, but you need to wake up." he said gently nudging her sholder.

"'ive mur minutez pleaze..?" she asked sleepily.

He couldn't help but chuckle again, "I'll go start some coffee." he told her kissing her forehead and rolling off the couch to head for the kitchen where I found Itachi. "Morning." he said walking to the fridge.

"You do know it's about noon know right?" the raven muttered pushing the start button on the coffee pot. He then leaned forward his forehead rest on the cabinet, "Why in the hell did we play I Never?" he questioned.

"Because at the time we thought it was a good idea. Aren't you glad we didn't use straight alcohol?" the redhead asked.

Itachi groaned at the very idea. His groan was echoed by a second one. Turning to the doorway, they saw Deidara making his way into the kitchen. His long blonde hair was completely down and a bit wild from sleep. He walked over to Itachi and wrapped his arms around his waist, "'Morning 'Tachi." he muttered.

"'Morning Dei." he said, not feeling up to arguing.

"Are we the only ones up?" the blonde asked not letting go of the tall raven.

"Mizani's halfway awake. I told her I get her some coffee." Gaara said getting two cups from the cabinet. "Wait... I don't know how she likes her coffee..." he sat the cups down and walked back to the living room to where his girlfriend was curled up on the couch. "Mizani, how do you like your coffee?" he asked quietly.

"Sleeeeppp..." she groaned trying to bury herself in the couch.

He chuckled at the sight, 'She's can be so cute and stubborn sometimes.' he thought shaking his head, "Come on baby, let's get some coffee." the redhead said gently pulling her off the couch.

"Fine..." Mizani said walking with her boyfriend to the kitchen, her head on his shoulder, "Mmm... coffee..." she letting out a content sigh.

"See, if you didn't wake up you would've missed it." Gaara told her kissing her on her forehead.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." she said with a small smile and leaned on the counter by the coffee pot watching it. "Remind me to kill Naruto later."

"Why?" Itachi asked, "Shouldn't you be the one we want to kill?"

"You all are the ones that listened to the youngest person in this house." Mizani said holding up her hands. "Just saying. Ooh! Coffee's done!"

"She does have a point..." Deidara said.

The older raven opened his mouth to say something, but then closed it, "I'm going to go wake Sasuke and Naruto." he grumbled.

"Awh, now he's gonna go all emo." the older blonde said with a sigh.

"Well then your just gonna have to cheer him up." Mizani said giving him a knowing wink.

"Oohh. Goodie!" Deidara said with a grin. It was quiet in the kitchen as everyone went about making themselves their coffee and other breakfast things. There were footsteps on the stairs and Itachi came into the kitchen, hand over his mouth. "Uh 'Tachi... you okey?"

"Oh Sasuke is NEVER gonna live this down. Not ever." Itachi said laughing evilly.

"What the hell are you talking about? I haven't had enough coffee for crazy people." the raven girl said glaring at the older raven.

"Go see or yourself." Itachi said pointing up stairs, "Meanwhile I'll make breakfast. What does everybody want?"

"Pancakes!" both Deidara and Mizani shouted.

"Come on 'Zani, Let's go see them two." Gaara said taking her hands walking upstairs and to Sasuke's room, "Are you prepared for what you're about to see?" he asked turning to his girlfriend.

Mizani dug in her pocket for her phone that she had forgotten to take out of her pocket and nodded, "Ready."

Gaara opened the door and the couple simply stared at the sight before them. Naruto laid flat on his back near all of the covers off his body and slightly snoring. Sasuke had the rest of the covers around him in a cocoon of sorts and was all but laying in the blonde's chest. The blonde had one arm wrapped around the raven's waist, the other was over his head.

"Aren't they adorable?" Mizani squealed, beginning to take multiple pictures of the two, muttering to herself about her little Naruto growing up.

The redhead shook his head at her, 'She's a very odd one. A few minutes ago she was ready to kill somebody and now she's a ball of energy.' He smiled at her, "Should we wake them up?"

"Nah. Just leave the door open." she said walking back to him with a huge grin on her face, "Naruto'll smell the pancakes and wake up." The couple then made their way back down stairs to the kitchen where they once again just stared at what was in front of them.

"Never should I have since my best friend's brother like this." Gaara stated queitly. 'I think I'm mentally scared.'

Itachi was leaning back against Deidara who was sitting on the counter. That wasn't what scared the redhead, it was the fact that the raven haired man had his hair in a high pony tail, verses his usual low one, held a spatula in hand and wore an apron. Not just any apron. A pink apron. Not just a pink apron. A frilly pink apron.

Mizani simply blinked and pulled out her phone and begun to take pictures. The older raven noticed none of this for his eyes were closed as Deidara was messaging his temples. The blonde looked at them with a grin and mouth to the raven girl, 'I won't those pictures.' she gave him a thumbs up and an encouraging nod.

The redhead simply shook his head and picked up his and Mizani's coffee cups that they had sat down when they went to go see their friends, and brought them over to the table, holding his girlfriend's out for her as he sat down, "Why thank you very much." she said with a grin.

Gaara smiled back at her with a nod, 'Anything for you.' he thought.

Naruto groaned slightly as he begun to wake from dreamland. His nose picked up on a distinct smell, 'Mmm... pancakes. But I don't wanna get up..' He snuggled deeper into the stuffed animal that he was holding on. That was until he felt the stuffed animal moved. Confused passed through the still foggy and slightly hungover mind of the blonde. He took a deep breath and smelled not pancakes this time, but... 'Strawberries.. where have I smelled that before..?'

Opening his eyes, he was met with a curtain of raven colored hair. A smile made his way to the blonde's face. 'That's where I've smelled it before.' "Sasuke. Time to wake up." he muttered still half asleep. The raven made no move to wake up, instead he snuggled deeper into Naruto's chest. The blonde couldn't help the smile that made it's way to his face, "Come on Sasuke." He tried a few more times in vain to wake him up before a evil idea made its self known.

"This is your last warning Sasuke, you need to wake up." Naruto said to the raven who still didn't move. 'Well, I cause it's time for plan B.' he thought grinning before taking his hands that were around Sasuke's waist and brought them to his rib cage and began, you guessed it, tickling him.

He watched as the raven began to stir, his mind seemingly still foggy from sleep. It took all of five seconds for his brain to comprehend what was happening before Sasuke busted out laughing. The raven tried to break away from the assault on his sides, but found it all but impossible. "N-Na-Naruto! St-Stop It!" he managed between laughs, "I-I'm a-a.. Kill y-you!"

Naruto stopped tickling him, not being able to keep it up with him laughing himself. Once they had both calmed down, the found that they both regretted so much movement. 'Okey.. so that wasn't one of my best ideas.' he thought laying back on the bed with his eyes closed, glad that there wasn't a lot of light in the room.

"Idiot... " Sasuke muttered laying on Naruto's chest, "I'm fuckin' kill you."

"So are you going to kill me twice or just make it one giant murder-palooza?" he asked with a smirk, looking down at the raven who looked up at him with a blank look that turned into a small smile, "Come let's get down stairs, somebody's cooking pancakes!" he said happily dragging them both out of the bed and down the stairs to the kitchen.

"Told you he'd wake up at the smell of pancakes." Mizani said to Gaara with a smile.

"I never doubted you." he told her softly, steal a piece of pancake that she had yet to eat.

"Thief!" she said narrowing her eyes playfully.

"Pancakes!" Naruto shouted, "Omnomnomnom!" he picked up a plate from the stack that was sitting on the counter and began to pile the breakfast food on his plate, earning strange looks from everyone in the room. Once everyone was settled at the dinning room table and eating, Naruto asked, "So what're we going to do today?"

Mizani opened her mouth, "Maybe we could-"

"Don't make this easy, I want you to mean it, Jasey. (say you'll mean it) You're dressed to kill, I'm calling you out, (don't waste your time on me)..."

Naruto reached for the phone in his pocket and flipped it open, "Hey Dad what's-"

"Where are you two? Are you okey? Did anything happen?" Iruka asked all at once.

"Dad. Calm down. We're still at Sasuke's house, perfectly okey and..." 'Well something did happen we kinda had a mini drinking game.. but he doesn't need to know that...' "Nothings happened. We're all eating pancakes at the moment, which are really delicious by the way." he told whoever cooked them.

"Thank you." Itachi said with a nod finishing his last piece of pancake.

"Okey.." the man over the phone said, sounding as if he didn't believe his adoptive son, "What do you all plan to do today?"

"Umm.. I don't know.." Naruto addressed the rest of the room, "What're we doing today?" he asked.

"Why don't we go to the mall?" Itachi suggested.

"Dude! I was so going to suggest that! But no Iruka had to go and call. So now it looks like Itachi had the bright idea.."

Naruto drowned out his best friend's rant and talked back to his father, "I think we're heading to the mall. Me and Mizani will be over in a little bit to change and everything."

"Alright, see you when you both get here. Tell Sasuke and Gaara I said Hi." Iruka said.

"Sasuke, Gaara, Iruka says hi." Naruto told both guys, both of them replying in their own way, "They said hi back."

There was a chuckle on the other end, "Okey, see you in a bit."

"Alright bye." Naruto said before closing the phone and all but inhale his three pancakes. 'Mmm.. pancakes...' Naruto thought enjoying their fluffiness.

"You're gonna choke it you don't actually chew your food you know." Sasuke said shaking his ehad at the blonde.

"I haven't yet!" he said mouthful of pancakes.

"So after we get done eating, me and Naruto are going to go home and get changed," Mizani said, "while the rest of you also get dressed. How about we meet at the mall at..." she picked up Naruto's phone to check the time muttering to herself, "Let's see it's going on 1:30 and it takes most of us at minimum 30 minutes to get dressed.." then a little louder she said, "2:15 work for everybody?" she asked.

Everyone blinked at her for a minute before agreeing with her. She smiled brightly before putting her and Gaara's plates in the sink and then grabbing his hand and dragging him into the living room to watch TV. It was quiet before Sasuke broke the silence, "She's quite the planner isn't she..?"

"Planner?" Naruto snorted, "More like evil scheming. Though I have to admit, her schemes do work a good percent of the time. Especially when we're planning to go out and have to convince Iruka."

"Well I'm sticking to what I said last night, the girl is a demon.. or at least not human." Itachi said picking his and Deidara's plate up and putting them in the sink, "I'm going to go get a shower." he said before walking out of the kitchen.

Naruto opened his mouth to say something but Sasuke stopped him. The raven pointed at Deidara whose head was laying on the table and them held up three fingers. He slowly began to count down till his hand was now a fist before Deidara jumped up, "'Tachi wait for me!" the older blonde shouted running after his boyfriend.

The younger blonde busted out laughing, "Dude! I see what you and Gaara were talking about. They're like younger versions of my Dads." he seemed to think about that, "I don't know how to feel about that..."

Sasuke shook his head and stood up with his plate in hand, "Are you done eating?" he asked holding his hand out for his plate.

"Yep! Thanks!" he said giving him a bright grin causing the raven to give him a small smile. 'Okey so I wasn't just imagining things last night. He seems to like me...'

"Naruto! Are you done being fat yet?" Mizani shouted from the living room.

The bright grin faded and he shot his supposed best friend a evil look, 'Way to kill a mood 'Zani.' he thought. "You know I really don't know why I'm friends with you." he called

"Because you love me and would me lost without me." she called back.

"I am not Blink 182."

"Are you afraid of being along, because I am. I'm lost without you." Sasuke sung softly smiling at Naruto.

'Yes, I think this just may work..' Naruto thought getting up his grin back in place as he walked to the living room, "Come on Mizani let's get to the house."

"Okey!" she said, "See you in a bit." she told Gaara kissing his cheek before bouncing off to the door, "Later Sasuke!" she called before walking out the door.

"Bye guys, see you in a little while." Naruto said with a wave to the two musicians before grabbing his keys off the table and walking out the door to his car where Mizani was already sitting in, a huge grin on her face. 'Oh this can't be good..' he thought getting in and beginning to drive away.

They had driven for a few minutes before Mizani spoke up, "So how are things progressing between you and Sasuke?" she asked her grin growing larger, if that was possible. 'You're gonna deny it.' she bet mentally.

"I don't what you're talking about." he said, his nose crinkling a bit.

"You're lying~!" the raven girl said in a sing-song voice.

"And how do you know this?" he asked her, the glare evident in his voice even though his eyes were on the road.

"You crinkle your nose just a little when you lie. I noticed it like way back when." she explained to him.

"That's how you always knew it was me who took your CDs!" he exclaimed.

"No that was your own stupidity for leaving them out in your room and Kakashi telling on you." she said mater-of-factly to the blonde with a grin.

Naruto grumbled to himself as he pulled into the driveway of their house. Mizani just grinned to herself as she skipped up the stairs and into the house, followed by the sulking blonde, "Ka-Ka! Iru! We're home!" she called happily.

"How are my two beautiful children?" Kakashi asked skipping into the living room where they were standing from the kitchen.

"We are doing great!" she said hugging her other father tightly.

"I see you guys are home. Did you have- Mizani what happened to you?" Iruka asked as he walked from the kitchen to her side.

The raven was confused, "What do you mean..?"

"It looks like you have two black eyes that's what!" the brunette said pulling her to the mirror that hung in that hallway.

"AH!" Mizani screamed looking at herself. Iruka was correct in his misinterpretation, for it did indeed look at though she had to black eyes. The heavy black eyeliner that she had worn the previous night had smeared to where it a rough ring around her eyes. Her eyes themselves were slightly read, probably from their game of I Never and the small amount of sleep they had gotten. 'I can't believe Gaara saw me like this!' she mentally yelled.

"I'm surprised Gaara didn't freak at seeing you like that. I know I did the first few times I saw you like that." Naruto said as if voicing her thought more or less.

"But he didn't... did he...?" she asked softly.

"Nope." Naruto said before walking down the hall to his room.

Mizani looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. 'He didn't freak out seeing me looking like a mess.' she thought attempting to run her hands through her tangled hair.

"Looks like you have quite a catch." Iruka told her with a smile.

"Looks like it." she said her smile growing.

"Aw! My little 'Zani is growing up!" Kakashi said hugging the young girl once again.

"K-Ka-Kashi! C-Can-Can't... Br-r-eathe!" she said gulping n as much air as she could.

"Kashi! Let Mizani go!" Iruka yelled.

Kakashi instantly let her g and gave a sheepish grin, "Sorry Mizani." he said, "I'm just glad you've found somebody." He wrapped his arms around Iruka's waist, "It's a great feeling." he said kissing the tanned man cheek causing a smile on his face.

"Yeah.. yeah it is." she said before walking up the stairs to her room ready for a shower.

After her shower, she was searching her room to find something to wear when there as a knock at the door. "Come on in." she called. She knew it was probably Naruto and didn't care that she was only in a pair of jeans and her bra.

"Are you about re- Mizani! Why did you tell me to come in if you weren't dressed?" Naruto asked looking away.

"Dude. It's not like you haven't seen me in my bra before." she said picking up and black tank top and putting it on.

"That's not the point." he huffed.

"I swear you and Sasuke are more alike then I thought." she grumbled to herself, picking up a black, white, red and mostly blue button down shirt.

"What was that?" he asked raising an eye brow.

"Nothing." she said with a sigh, rolling her eyes. "Okey let's-" "If I go crazy will you still call me superman? If I'm alive and well will you still be there holding my hand? I'll keep you by my side with my superhuman might..." She picked up her phone that she had tossed on the bed, "Hello?"

"Hey Mizani."

"Hi dad." she said nodding to Naruto who gestured that he was going downstairs.

"How have you been?" her father asked.

She noticed his voice sounded tired. "I've been good, what about you? You sound really tired." Glancing at the clock she saw it was almost 2 in the afternoon, doing a little calculation in her head she gasped, "Dad! It's like 1 in the morning there! What're you doing up?"

He let out a tired chuckle, "I just got into New York from California. I have a meeting at lunch."

"You should be sleeping!" she tried to argue.

"So has anything exciting happened since I last talked to you?" he said avoiding the subject.

"Um, actually yeah.." she said. He made a 'Oh really?' sort of noise, "I have a boyfriend now."

"Is that so?"

"And before you get all over-protective, Naruto, Kakashi and Iruka have approved of him. And of course I have." she told him unconsciously beginning to pace around her room.

"Well I feel a bit better that Iruka has approved over him, but I'm still going to want to meet him myself."

"Of course dad."

"Oh, and I got an interesting call from a friend of yours." Mizani made a confused sound and her father let out a tired chuckle, "Fayree called and began yell at me about how you 'Don't just leaven large sums of money in people's mailbox.'"

The raven girl let out a laugh, "Sounds about like her. Did she say when she was visiting?" she had talked to her best friend in a while and felt a little bad for it.

"She'll be over there the first flight she can get Labor Day weekend." he told her.

"Great! I can't wait for her to meet Gaara. Oh Gaara's my boyfriend's name by the way." she told him.

He chuckled, "I swear Japanese people and their odd names." she could just picture him shaking his head.

"Yeah, because naming a child Mizani is perfectly normal." she told him, the blank look on her face evident in her voice.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

"Well I need to get going. Me, Gaara, Naruto Sasuke and Sasuke's brother and boyfriend are heading over to the mall."

"Alright, I'll talk to you soon. I love you Mizani."

"Love you too dad." Mizani said with a smile as she closed the phone and put the over shirt on while walking down the stairs. "To the mall we go!" she announced heading straight for the door.

"Hold it young lady, when do you think you'll be back?" Iruka asked hand om his hip.

"Uhh.. no later than curfew...?" she said/asked with a smile.

Iruka was about to say something else, but stopped when Kakashi draped his arms over the brunette's shoulders, "Let the kids have fun 'Ruka." he told him, to Mizani and Naruto who was walking from the kitchen with a Pepsi in hand, "Just be back before 11."

"Okey! Love you!" both teens called before running out the door to the car.

"Shotgun!" Mizani called going straight for the passenger seat of the car.

"Mizani!" the blonde whined.

The raven girl just grinned from inside the car. She knew her blonde friend didn't like to drive and the only reason he did drive this morning was because... actually she didn't know. But she guessed it was because she wanted to see a certain raven boy sooner.

They drove for a little bit before Mizani asked something that had popped into her mind, "So when are you going to ask Sasuke out?"

Naruto nearly choked on the swallow of drink he had taken before she asked the question, "I don't know..." he said once he wasn't nearly dieing, but caught himself as soon as he said it, "I mean what're you talking about?" he attempted to cover up, but failed.

"Oh come on it's obvious that you like him. I saw how close you two were last night.." her voice tailed off as a evil grin made it's way to her face. "And this morning."

"Mizani!" he yelled, "You didn't!"

"Oh I did!" she said, "But seriously, you should ask him out."

"I might... we'll see." he said as they pulled into the mall parking lot and looked for a parking spot.

To say Sasuke wasn't a happy camper at the moment would be an understatement. The raven sat on a bench as far away as possible from his best friend, brother brother's boyfriend, and he would never admit this, sulking.

"Sasuke, I don't see why you're over there sulking. So were a little early when I thought we were late, it's not that big of a deal." Itachi said in attempts to cheer his brother up, but in reality, only ,made him angrier.

"Do you not see my hair?" he asked pointing to the top of his head.

"Yeah. It's raven colored, still a little wet-"

"Exactly." Sasuke growled. It say that Sasuke like to have his hair perfect was like saying fish liked water. The raven had a thing that if he didn't do anything else, he had to do his hair. Since they were supposedly running late, he didn't have time to even fully dry it. The fact that he wanted to look good when Naruto showed up at no part in his sulking at all.

"Sasuke you look fine now stop being a bastard." Gaara said rolling his eyes.

'I really do wonder why his my friend sometimes... jerk.' he mentally cursed the redhead as he glared at him.

"I don't see what the big deal is anyway." Deidara said from where he was leaning against Itachi, "Like Gaara said you're hair looks fine, why the sulking?"

When the raven said nothing, the elder of the all smirked, knowing full well the reason, "Dei you know why he wants his hair to look perfect." Sasuke shot his brother a glare, but that didn't stop the older raven, "Don't you remember when we first started going out? How you were so obsessed with your hair?"

"Aw!" the blonde gushed, "He wants to look pretty for Naruto!"

Sasuke shot a glare at Gaara, "You're not going to help a friend out here?"

"In all technicalities this is a family thing, where I have no say in." the redhead said. And even thought he made no outward expression, Sasuke had been friends with him long enough that in his head Gaara was laughing evilly.

'Bastards all of 'em.' he mentally grumbled.

"I found my place in the world Could stare at your face for the rest of my days Now I can breathe, turn my insides out and Smother me..." Gaara pulled out his phone with a small smile and answered it, "Hello baby." he listened for a second. "Yeah we're here... The main opening... alright see you in a bit."

"I take it that was Mizani?" Itachi asked with a smirk.

"Yeah. They're walking up here now."

At hearing that Naruto was almost there, he began to run his fingers through his still slightly damp hair. 'I can't believe I couldn't do anything to me hair.' he thought grumpily glaring at nothing in particular.

"Time to go malling!" Mizani said linking arms with Gaara and, much like a leader of an army, made her way to the doors.

"Malling isn't even a word." Naruto said as he walked closer to them, the raven girl seeming to have ran up to where they were. He stood beside Sasuke and look at him, "Hey, you're hair's down."

"Yeah..." Sasuke grumbled, "I thought we were running late a didn't get a-"

"I like it like this. It seems more... you." the blonde said with a sincere smile, interrupting the raven and shocking him.

Sasuke's eyes widen, "R-Really...?" he asked

"Yeah. Don't get me wrong it looks great spiked, but it suits you better down."

"O-Ohh.. well thank you..." he said turning away a bit, hoping Naruto didn't catch the blush that decorated his cheeks.

"Oh come on!" Deidara said rolling his eyes. He stomped behind them and gave them a shove in the direction of the doors, nearly causing both of them to fall face first to the ground, before going back to Itachi's side and linking hands with him, "There is mall for us to see."

Naruto and Sasuke grumbling, Mizani and Gaara laughing, well the latter chuckling, and Itachi and Deidara acting smugly, they all made their way into the mall. Not much was there when they first walked in, but as they made their way further, it opened up to the main part of the building where the shops lined the two stories.

Deidara seemed to be leading them as he talked excitedly with Mizani. They all turned the corner, but none of them were really paying attention to where they were going and ran into somebody. The person fell to the ground, his friends almost falling over him.

"I'm sorry!" Deidara said holding his hand that wasn't in Itachi's over his mouth in shock, "Are you okey? Here let me help you up!" The older blonde held his hand out to the guy that was slowly beginning to stand.

The guy almost took the hand, but his eyes went to where Deidara's hand was linked with Itachi's and made a disgusted face. He brushed the hand away as it was diseased, "Don't touch me. I don't want to catch your faggotness." he said, his voice full of hate.

The group was quiet as they watched the guy's friends help him up, also with looks of disgust. It took a few minutes for everyone to react. Deidara's face fell and hurt was written in his face, Itachi's eyes shown with bitter hatred as did Gaara, Sasuke and Naruto's. The only one to respond to the statement was Mizani.

"What the fuck did you just say?" she asked the guy who was a good foot taller then she was, but that didn't stop the anger that was radiating of the small girl towards the trio of guys.

The trio just rolled their eyes and began to walk away, but Mizani stopped them with her voice, "Where the fuck do you think your going?" the again began to walk away. "Get your asses back here!" she shouted beginning to walk after them.

"'Zani... let them go..." Naruto said quietly, holding her arm.

"Fuck that! Those bastards are gonna get a piece of my foot up their-"

"Mizani." the blonde said.

Sasuke looked at the sadness in the blonde's eyes, 'Damn jerks.' he thought. He watched that the raven girl noticed the sadness and she let out a huff, snatching her arm from his grip to cross them across her chest.

They hadn't noticed it until now, but the exchange had drawn quite a bit of a crowd. Itachi sent a glare to them all and with a cold voice said, "There is not a damn thing for any of you to see here." The crowd dispersed quickly, going on about their business and Itachi tightened his grip on Deidara's hand , earning a small smile from the blonde.

"Come on everybody! Let's not let them jerks bring us down!" Naruto said his face brightening, but the young raven could still see the hurt in his blue eyes, "Let's get to shopping!"

"Naruto's right!" Mizani said trying to help liven the mood, "Dei I know exactly where to take you! Itachi your coming to so don't give me that look. Let's go Gaara!"

Sasuke watched as the young girl all but dragged the three men through the mall to God knows where. He looked back at Naruto, "Hey, you alright?" he asked quietly, not wanting to disturb the quiet that had fallen.

"Yeah." he said. He gave a tired sigh, "I'll just never understand jerks is all."

"Their jerks, where is there to understand?" Sasuke asked. The blonde gave him a small smile and the raven smiled back, "Come on. While your best friend is torturing my best friend, brother and his boyfriend, why don't we have a bit of fun?"

"What do you have in mind?" Naruto asked with a sly grin.

"Follow me and find out." Sasuke said with a smirk as he backed away, turning around and being to run as he heard Naruto chasing after him. 'This is turning out to be a very good day...'

Eeeekkkk! Don't hurt me for that last part! I honestly don't know where it came from! Though I thought the story need a little bit of mini drama before the real drama starts. Which wil be starting soon. Trust me. I don't do a story without some big drama.

So what did everybody think? If you liked it, tell me! If you didn't like it, tell me! But please do so nicely. I'm a very fragile person. =]

Now I'm off to go get some sleep so I can go to school and see what my great friends at school got me for my birthday! I can't wait! Laterz! *two finger salute*
