I didn't get a good look at the room until the party started. Random games were strewn across everything everywhere. There was a desk pushed into the corner which I guess was probably put there to make room for people to dance. Hidan walked proudly into the room caring bottles of what looked to be beer. I frowned in distaste. I couldn't drink it for two reasons. One: I was under-aged and Two: I did not want to put alcohol in my body. I walked over to Itachi and dragged him out of his chair to sing a few songs with a karaoke machine they had in room. I was surprised they had it considering Kakuzu was that much of a cheapskate he was.
"Can you sing with me in the song Awake and Alive by Skillet?" I asked Itachi. He looked up from his chair.
"I love that song!" he exclaimed. He got up and we half raced, half wrestled our way to the karaoke machine. Everyone sighed or laughed at our antics. Seriously, have you ever seen Itachi be playful? It's sort of strange if you're not used to it.
"It is my favorite duet. At the slumber party yesterday used to protect Naru-chan, whom I will not go into detail on, I sang that with Neji-nii-san," I said grabbing a microphone. He too grabbed one, determined to out sing my brother. By the end you could easily see which of my brothers were better and that was Itachi.
We did a few more songs that they knew before a beer drinking contest came under way. Hidan could not hold his alcohol. He was drunk after half his glass. The game was coming to an end with Pein and Kisame. I don't know how many they had because I wasn't really watching after Itachi got out. He left after his third drink and I began talking to Konan. She hated beer as much as I did and just was watching. Guess who won? Pein of course. I finally realized Pein really was almighty.
"So Bailey, do you have a boyfriend back home?" Konan asked. I clutched my necklace in despair.
"I had one, but have yet to get over him," I explained.
"What did he dumb you? Oh is it that Satoru guy that you added koi to the end of his name?" Konan asked again. She was bouncing in her chair, literally.
"Yes it's him, but he didn't dumb me. He was murdered about half a year after I became a Chunin. We'd been dating for about three years," I answered. Konan looked sad as I continued to hold onto the necklace.
"He gave you that? Didn't he?" she asked. I nodded my head again as tears began to form in the corners of my eyes. She pulled me into a hug, like a mother or a sister would do. I calmed myself as she pulled out of it.
"Itachi, it seems our girls are bonding," Pein said from a chair with a soda in his hands. Itachi looked over to see us talking once more. He smiled and nodded to the leader.
"What are you going to do about the fight tomorrow?" Itachi looked up at Pein for he was sitting on the ground.
"I'm going full out! From what I saw today, I want to see all of her skills and going all out is the only way than so it shall be," Pein said as Konan approached him and claimed her rightful seat in his lap. I was talking with Zetsu because he was all alone. Itachi glared at his leader but said nothing. He didn't want me getting too hurt.
"So Zetsu, how are you?" I asked as I approached him. He looked over at me and his sides began to rant whether or not to answer me. The white side won.
"I'm okay, just a bit hungry," he answered. I scooted back slightly. I didn't want to be eaten on my first day. "Look you scared her! Good now we can eat her. Well that's not nice. So what? Be nice!" His other side grumbled but stopped talking.
"You didn't scare me. It's just instinct to scoot away from someone trying to eat you," I answered and giggled. "You're funny when you argue with yourself. If I did that, my brothers would have teamed up and killed me by now." I laughed again earning a smile from the cannibal.
"Can I talk then?" I nodded. "Alright, now we can go find our dinner." He stalked off unannounced making me shake my head to look for someone else to annoy, I mean talk to. The lucky or unlucky member ended up being… Kakuzu.
I approached the money-loving fool and sat down in front of him. He stared down at me; a blank expression adorned his masked face. We continued staring until he got fed up and actually spoke. "What do you want, brat?"
"I'm bored and I wanted to talk to you," I explained. He gave me an are-you-serious-look and I nodded my head yes.
"Why can't you talk to someone else?" he asked setting his money down on the side table and looking towards me, though he'd randomly look back at it, paranoid.
"Well, Hidan is passed out, Zetsu went to find dinner, Tobi is talking to himself which I find creepy, Itachi, Pein, and Konan are boring, Deidara and Sasori are no where to be seen, which I'm happy about, and then Kisame is 'pwning' computers on Super Smash Bros Brawl," I answered. "That leaves you." He sighed.
"Why don't you kick Kisame's ass in SSBB then?" he asked. I got a glorious idea and ran off to Kisame. I was going to beat him with my Pikachu. I pwn with him. I sat next to him and watched him blow someone up with one of Snake's bombs.
"I challenge thee to a battle of all that is youthful," I said when the match ended. "Sorry, it's fun to quote my friends," I explained when a look of confusion and just plain disgust crossed over his blue face. I chose Pikachu and he went for Ike. I wonder if he's better with him than Naruto is. I also couldn't help but chuckle at how both Kisame and Ike wielded giant swords.
The five minute long fight, defied all that could be done in the game. I am amazing with my Pikachu! He had no fighting chance. Okay maybe he did, but I am amazing! When it ended, it came to a SUDDEN DEATH match. One hit and bye-bye you go. I won of course! Fine, I lost! And to Kisame too! I am utterly ashamed.
"No, I am not youthful enough! Gai-sensei would be so displeased!" I anime-cried after the lost. Poor weasel couldn't hold his laughter and it just arose from his mouth and once it started it wasn't going to stop anytime soon. Lucky when Kisame poured ice cold water on his head, he stopped.
"What the hell were you laughing about?" Kisame asked. "I have never seen you portray so much emotion in one day! It's starting to freak me out!" I quietly laughed to myself.
"Gomenasai, I just was holding that in for years and then when she quoted the green-spandex 'Gai' I lost it. Bailey why are you doing that anyway?" my brother turned to face me with an eyebrow raised.
"Gomen, but hanging out with those two for so long rubs off and it has become a habit of mine to make fun of them," I explained. Itachi finally calming down from laughing and watched me try to get revenge on Kisame, which I wasn't able to do. He beat me with nearly ever single character. I beat him when he was Peach, but let's face it. Peach sucks!
By now it was only Kisame, Itachi, Pein, Konan and myself were awake. Hidan and Kakuzu were passed out on the couches and Deidara and Sasori were still no where to be seen, thank Kami. Zetsu and Tobi had went to bed earlier after Zetsu had his dinner. Kisame grabbed Kakuzu and Itachi grabbed Hidan and dragged them to their room. Pein, Konan and myself went straight to bed.
I lay in bed for some time trying to get to sleep, but it wouldn't come. My dark room was relaxing but it didn't help me get to sleep. The door opened and I looked over to see Itachi entering.
"Can't sleep either?" I asked as him as he crossed the room and sat on my bed. He looked around the room a bit.
"Nope! Kisame practically passed out on our bed and refuses to snuggle with me," he pouted and I laughed at his foolishness. I never though of him as a snuggle person. "This brings back memories doesn't it Bailey?"
"I guess, but when you said Kisame, that all went down the drain," I answered. He nudged me jokingly and left me to go to bed. Sleep came easier after that.
