animekid: Hey guys! Sorry that i haven't updated in a really long time. It's just that my computer crashed a while back but only a few thing got deleted, this story being one of them. I just recently was able to find where I placed my back-up story. So here it is! And again, I'm really sorry about the super long wait.

Recap:

"Um…Hi?" I said slowly. They both looked at me with a "who the hell are you" look. "Umm…Are the rooms supposed to be co-ed?"

They nodded. I showed them the room number I was given and they nodded. {Who are these guys?}

"My name's Itachi and this is Deidara." The boy who looked like duck butt said. "You are?"

"Hikari," I said, "Hikari Mikomi Hasegawa but I would appreciate it if you called me Kari instead."

Start:

They both nodded. They opened a door, which led to a room that was almost completely empty. I went inside and Itachi closed the door mumbling that I would be a good way to mess with his little brother. {I wonder if his brother is duck butt.} I started unpacking and was finished within a few minutes seeing as I didn't have much stuff. Just as I was about to open my door it swung open.

"Kari-chan," Deidara called. "We want you to meet our friends!"

"Okay," I said and followed him to the living room. There I saw seven other boys and a girl. I blinked. {These must be Itachi-san and Deidara-san's friends. They seem like a weird group, if you ask me.} I felt someone coming at me with great speed. I ducked just as someone was about to touch me. I noticed it was the one with the orange mask with only one eyehole. {That was close.} I got up and looked around to see that I was the center of attention. I blinked in confusion.

"Um…." I said. "Hi?"

They all just stared at me and the boy with the mask tried to hug me once more but I just, once again, moved out of the way. I was getting annoyed but no one could tell because my face was emotionless.

"Itachi-san," I began. I had to dodge again. "Mind telling your friend to knock it off?"

"Tobi," Itachi said. "Enough. You should stop."

I nodded a thank you. I looked to the others; they all looked different from each other. {Mom said that everyone here is from a certain clan, and some are from more than one. She also said that I was from the Hasegawa clan and another one. What was it? It started with a U. Hm…..} As I thought the others around me were whispering things like, "This girl is bunking with the homos? That must suck," and "She seems really cute. Who is she?" I felt someone about to touch my shoulder. Right before they put their hand down, I grabbed it and flipped the person over my shoulder. They landed on their back. I looked at the person closely to see it was Itachi.

"Whoops!" I said. "Sorry! Are you alright Itachi-san?"

"I'm fine," He said getting up. "I just wanted to introduce the others."

I smiled sheepishly while rubbing the back of my neck nervously and said, "Hehe, sorry. I just get jumpy around new people."

He nodded and introduced the others as Pein, Sasori, Kisame, Konan, Zetsu, Kakuzu, Hidan, and, of course, Tobi. I nodded. As soon as they were introduced to me, I noticed Itachi wanted me to introduce myself. So I did.

"Hi there," I said. "The name's Hikari, but I rather you call me Kari instead."

They nodded. I looked at the symbol that was on the wall. It was a red and white fan. I looked at it closely then looked at my bracelet to see the same fan. I guess Itachi noticed me staring at the symbol and said, "That symbol is of the Uchiha Clan, it represents the control of fire." I blinked. {Fire, huh? I wonder what I'll learn here. Wait. That's what the other clan was! The Uchiha Clan!}

"Kari-chan?" It was Tobi. "Why do you always talk in English instead of Japanese?"

"Well," I started. "I don't feel comfortable speaking Japanese. I can read, write and understand it though."

They all nodded and Tobi tackled me into a hug. I yelped when I hit the ground. I pushed Tobi off of me. I notice my bracelet had fallen off from the impact of the fall. Right when I was going to pick it up, Itachi picked it up. {Oh boy. If he's gonna be like duck butt, I'm going to grab it and lock myself in my room.}

"So you're part of the Uchiha clan too huh?" Itachi asked. I looked up at him and nodded. He smirked, handed me my bracelet, helped me up and pulled me in to a noogie. I squirmed trying to get out of his grip.

"Itachi-san!" I whined. I continued to struggle "Let go! This hurts!" Everyone was watching in amusement. I sighed finally giving up when everyone left. He let go and I pouted. That's when a thought popped into my head.

"Itachi-san? If you're in the Uchiha clan, can you marry outside clans?"

After a while, he shook his head and replied, "No. Not in the Uchiha clan. Only unless it's an arranged marriage for uniting clans, no. Why do you ask?" I shook my head.

I now knew that my own mother had faked her own death, went by a different name, married my father and never told me about this. {Itachi-san, if I told you the truth….would you keep it a secret.} I sighed. He went into his room and I went to mine. I lied on my bed wondering. {There's no point in moping.} I took out my iPod, plugged it up to my iHome, and played Boulevard of Broken Dreams. I listened to it and sang along, not really caring who hears me at the moment. When the song ended, I heard clapping coming from my door. I looked over to see that it was Itachi-san. I stared at him till the next song came on, Reflection from Mulan. I continued to sing with it. I could feel Itachi-san's eyes on me. I felt him sit on my bed next me. He stopped my iPod and looked at me.

"Is...Is there something you need Itachi-san?" I whispered. "If there is, just ask. I don't mind." I looked up at him. I saw that he felt bad about something.

"You didn't know about Auntie Hitomi," He whispered after a while. H looked away from me as if to hide something. "She's your mother isn't she? Your dad never told you about what happened. Your dad married another and took her last name, didn't he?" I looked at him. I sat up, put my hand on his shoulder and sighed.

"Itachi-san," I started. He looked at me. "If I told you something, would you promise never to tell ANYONE?" He nodded. "The truth is," I continued. I looked away from him. "My mother is Hitomi Uchiha, but…she's not dead. She's alive and well. She's now a Hasegawa for she married my father under a different name. I have two older brothers. Yes, they are related to me by blood. The only thing is, my parents never told me about my mom faking her own death….." I looked at him, holding back the tears in my eyes. I felt him put his hand on my shoulder. {Wait! Didn't Hidan say that Itachi-san and Deidara-san were gay?}

"Itachi-san," I said. "This is kinda random, but is what Hidan-kun said true?" He stared at me then smirked. I saw him mouth, "Would you like to find out?" I just blinked and I felt my eye twitch slightly. I got up and walked to my closet. I felt Itachi-san follow me. {Why is he following me?} I opened it and grabbed my backpack. When I turned around I saw Deidara-san and Itachi-san making out on my bed.

"If you two are going to do that," I started. "Can you take it to one of YOUR rooms and NOT my bed?" They laughed and headed out of my room. I sighed as I sat on my bed, took out my laptop and turned it on. I signed into AIM, hoping my friends where on at the least.

darkbuthopeful: hm…sure. one question though, what's with having gangs?

YouNg_UchIhA: they represent which village each clan use to live in. for example, the Uchiha clan and Hyuuga clan lived in Konoha, or the leaf village. the Mizuru clan is from Kirigakure, or the mist village. The Subaku clan is from Suna, or the sand village.

darkbuthopeful: I see. which village is the Hasegawa clan from?

YouNg_UchIhA: it's from Konoha, just like my clan.
