"Hey baby! You're back, yeah!" Dana was happy he hadn't wandered off into town somewhere and gotten mobbed by street vendors.

"Hi honey. I figured that by now that….OH MY GOD IT'S STILL HERE! OH MY GOD! WHY IS IT THAT MY LIFE HAS TO SUCK ASS! SASUKE BECAUSE OF YOU AND THAT….THAT…..THING IN THIS APARTMENT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO USE MY EYE STRESS CREAM TONIGHT TO AVOID BAGS! " Itachi screamed with Sharingan rage.

"Look Itachi, everyone else seems to like Careen, what's your problem?" Sasuke challenged.

"I'm….I'm…..I'm sorry…..did….did you just ask what the…the problem was? First, she is a god, secondly and the thing that totally pisses me the HELL off….you called my girlfriend dumb!" Itachi said. Dana gasped.

"You think I'm dumb, yeah?

"You think she's dumb?" Marisol challenged.

"You think MY sister is dumb, yeah?" Deidara was fucking pissed.

"Deidara, for god's sake take your hands off your hips!" Itachi ordered.

"Okay, Lola, this is our cue to leave." Sasori said as he led Lola toward the door.

"I'm not dumb…am I? Am I dumb Itachi, yeah?" Dana asked now feeling very self conscious.

"Dana, baby you are not dumb. Sasuke is a the fucking dumb ass here. Honey, you are one of the smartest people I know. You know everything about what colors and fabrics to coordinate and in what seasons, that thing on the couch appears to like black…..for all seasons. Honey, you own her ass." Itachi comforted her.

"Hey Careen, before Itachi goes apeshit and runs you and Sasuke out of here, I just want you to know that you are welcome back in our apartment anytime!" Tobi said happily.

"Oh thanks, Tobi." She answered him.

"Okay, Sasuke because I'm just an overall good person and the fact that my blood pressure is out of control and I really need to get it back down…I'm going to try and converse with that wretched girl you've drug in here." Itachi said fanning himself off. Itachi moved directly in front of Careen.

"So, Careen….." Itachi wasn't certain where he was going with this.

"You know you and Sasuke look so much alike." Careen said. She wasn't prepared what happened next. Itachi's mouth fell open.

"Oh my god…..oh my god, oh my god. What so do you just hate me or something? Oh god, this bitch just insulted me to no end….oh….god. Oh god, oh god…..I AM SO MUCH HOTTER THAN MY BROTHER!"

"Quick Kakuzu, get Itachi a mirror, yeah!" Deidara called. Kakuzu ran off to find a mirror for Itachi. Dana quickly grabbed his shoulders to try to release the obvious tension that had suddenly overcome his body.

"Well, I mean you two do really look alike." Careen said to Sasuke. Sasuke shook his head in agreement. Kakuzu had soon come racing back into the living room with a mirror.

"Oh god, I do look like Sasuke today! Would you look at the stress my forehead has been through, god now I'll have to wear MY NIGHTLY CUCUMBER MASQUE! Sasuke, you and this insulting young girl get out of this apartment NOW!" Itachi ordered.

"Hey it was nice to meet you, sorry Itachi is….well….Itachi." Kisame said.

"Yeah, whatever happens between you two good luck." Kakuzu said.

"Sorry you have to just up and leave, but I don't think you two want to hang out around here anymore, seriously." Hidan said.

"Bye Careen, I'm a little pissed at you but it was still nice to meet you." Marisol said. Sasuke and Careen got up to head for the door. It hadn't been the smoothest of introductions especially since Itachi was involved.

"Okay guys, I'll see you all some other time. It's obvious Itachi hasn't handled me well." Careen said. Deidara shuddered at the sight of Sasuke and Careen hand in hand. Itachi had left the living room and was now practically locked in his room. Careen and Sasuke left and everyone else breathed a huge sigh of relief.

"Okay so do you think that Itachi will quit being dramatic and talk in a normal voice tone the rest of the evening?" Kisame asked.

"Seriosuy, it's really hard to tell." Hidan said.

"You know that girl was kind of weird I mean god, that eyeliner!" Marisol said.

"Well, but in a very odd way….they seem like they are good together." Kakuzu said.

"I'm going to see if Itachi is calming down any, yeah." Dana said quietly leaving the living room.

"Does anyone know if Zetsu is doing okay and where did Sasori and Lola go?" Kisame asked.

"Sasori and Lola went to get something to eat, as for Zetsu he's asleep so I think he's trying to sleep off the trauma of the whole plant killer thing." Kakuzu said.

"So, do you think we'll ever see those two again?" Tobi asked making even more Jello. This time he couldn't decide between strawberry, orange, or blue raspberry….so he made all three.

"Seriously Tobi, I don't think we will be seeing those two again. Itachi might go on another killing spree if they show their faces around here again." Hidan said. The phone rang and Kakuzu was nearest to it to answer.

"Hello? Oh hey the leader! How's it going? A muffin pan that Orochimaru borrowed? Hmmmm….hold on." Kakuzu put the phone down. "Hey do any of you remember loaning Orochimaru a muffin pan that belonged to the leader?" he called into the living room.

"I don't think we've had a muffin pan since we were in our last apartment." Kisame said.

"Yeah, ever since Itachi made those horrible all bran muffins that were supposed to be high protein low calorie the muffin pan hasn't surfaced, yeah." Deidara said.

"The leader? Yeah, we don't know anything about a muffin pan but I bet that bitch used it! Orochimaru is always wanting to use our stuff! I know you would think he would get his own cookware! Alright the leader, well good luck on getting a new pan. Yeah the Wal-Mart Super Center should have some. Hey! You can get your tires rotated while you shop! Alright, bye!" Kakuzu hung up the phone. "You know I thought it best not to mention the whole Sasuke has a girlfriend thing."

"It was a smart move, seriously." Hidan said. It was only a matter of time until Itachi fully recovered from this day. As for everyone else? Well, they had decided to stay away from itachi.
