Chapter 5:

The First Supper

Previously:

Heather's POV

I turned and did my best strut out the room, switching my hips with each step, and turned around to check if Itachi was looking. Of course he wasn't. He's definitely a tough cookie. I exited the Library and walked normally back to the kitchen to my gullible best friend. I love a challenge.

Kami's POV

I had just put the now bite sized pieces of battered chicken in the deep frier when Heather came in. She immediantly sat on the stool in front of me.

"Are the guys doing alright?" I asked setting a pot to boil, I decided that I'll make one of those KFC mash bowls.

((Author's Note: For those of you that don't know it or have never had it, Please for the love of Jashin, get on that. Cuz That shit is Good!-End Of Author's Note))

"Yep, the loud ones are in the E-Room. I had to help them with the tv though, haha. And the quiet ones are in the Library."

"Oh, alright." We have those stoves where water boils in 90 seconds so I placed the entire bag of potatoes into the boiling water.

"I talked to Itachi."

Wait what!? I looked at her.

"Yep, he's very sweet...Seems like he would have helped anyone who was being harasses by Hidan, Don't you think?" Heather was now staring intensely into my eyes. And I had to agree, she did have a point. The real Itachi was a peaceful, caring person. He just put on a facade like he didn't care. I'm sure he just helped me out on a whim,Right?

This made me sad, and feel less special for some reason. I shyed away from my friends gaze and returned to my work.

The rest of the time spent cooking was mostly me staying silent. While Heather talked. I felt bad not being as responsive as she probably would like, but my mind was somewhere else. When the Dinner was finished I used the intercom to let the others know. As they gathered into the dinning room I placed the food on the table. I had been so hungry, from not being able to eat my late breakfast that I had already started eating from a bowl in the kitchen after I intercomed.

Pein came around and took a seat at one of the Heads of the table. Konan followed and sat to his right, while Tobi to his right. As the table filled in I decided to take the second head of the table and was shocked when I saw Itachi sit to my right, along with Kismae by his side.

"What is this?Why is the meat cooked" Zetsu asked emerging from the table in front of me.

"Oh, right. Sorry I forgot. Would raw lamb be better for you?" I asked rising from my seat.

"I would rather have human flesh- Lamb will be just fine." Zetsu said taking the seat next to Konan. I set my half eaten bowl on the table and went into the kitchen to retrieve the meat for the cannibal plant. When I returned to the dinning room I was shocked to see that my seat was being occupied by Heather. I handed Zetsu the plate of raw lamb and walked over to Heather.

"Um, I was sitting there Heather." For some reason being in the same room as Itachi was making me nervous.

"Oh my God! Really Kami, what are we two. Your gonna cause a tantrum cause I took your seat?" Her outburst startled me. And I could here a few snickers behind me at the table which made me feel embarrassed. Why was she acting like this? But of course it wasn't the first time she's publicly ridiculed me.

"Well, um... where did you put my plate?" I asked when I noticed it was no longer in the spot I left it.

"Oh, I moved over there," She pointed down to the other end of the table, next to Zetzu. I walked back down and took my new seat next. I looked back down to where I once sat, only to see a pair of red eyes capture my gaze. The eye contact, if you could call it that, was so short I had to question myself if it had even happened. I decided that I wouldn't look back down there for the rest of the dinner.

"This is Fuckin', good." Hidan shouted with food in his mouth. It surprised me that he hadn't tried to attack me again and was actually complimenting me since our last encounter a few hours ago didn't really end on a good note. Guess Kakuzu probably talked to him.

"Yeah, un. It's great." The Blonde said in between bites. I looked around and saw a few nods agreeing with the statement.

"Thanks." I said proudly. Cooking was fun for me, I usually only did it with my mother so cooking-solo was different. Definitely a lot more work.

I glanced over at Tobi, he was across to the left of me, just sitting there staring at his plate. He looked up at me and I immediantly looked back down. I gotta stop staring at these guys... Or at least get better at it so I won't get caught.

Most of the guys were immersed in conversation. Deidara and Sasori had filled in next to Tobi and were arguring about art. Typical. At the end of the table Heather seemed as though she was talking to an unresponsive Itachi. While Kisame, who seemed to be listening to her attempt at a conversation, was laughing to himself. Closer to me Kakuzu, ate his food quietly while Zetsu argued to himself about the food not being human. Konan and Pein were talking in hushed voices. Out of curiosity I peaked back at Tobi only to find his plate empty and him staring at me. I felt my eyes go wide and quickly looked down.

"This is some Fuckin' house." Hidan spoke at me as he piled his plate with seconds. "How do you get a house like this?"

Appearently this was a question on everyone's mind as all eyes where on me. I felt my face heat up as the thought of Itachi watching me swept my mind, but I didn't dare to look over at him to check. I took a calming breath and spoke.

"My parents, they in the business." I said surprising normal.

"Business? What Business?" Kakuzu asked leaning in intently.

"Oh the Film Industry, My dad is a Director and my mom is an actress." It felt weird telling people what my parents did. Most people already know who they were and what they did. Not to mention our last name, Santone', was pretty much a multi-million dollar empire. Apparently if things keep going as they are we'll be Billionaires by the time they're 50. Well, they'll be Billioniares. My bank account was pretty poor compared to theirs, I too, follow my parents in the indusrty and was a child star at age 7, being a regular actress on a tv show until I was 10. With a few roles in a couple hit movies here and there, directed by my dad,I was able to celebrate my first million by age 13.

"Oh! Tobi's wants to be an actor, Tobi's really good at acting!"

"I bet you are." I said as I turned my head towards the other end of the table. Just in time to see a smirk leave Itachi's face.

"That sounds like an interesting job,they probably travel a lot. Where are they now?" Konan spoke for the first time since meeting. She seemed nice and genuinely interested about the careers of my parents.

"They do travel pretty often, they're actually filming overseas in a country called Venezuela."

"Why aren't you with them?" She asked curiously.

"Bet, they didn't want their annoying, Bitch of a daughter tagging along." Hidan said finishing his second plate and leaning back in his chair with contempt.

"Actually," I glared at Hidan, " I chose not to go."

"Why not,yeah? Don't you like to travel,un? Deidare asked joining in on the Q&A.

"I do, I love to travel and experience new things. I just don't like the heat." As I got to the end of my answer, I kinda heard the childishness of my decision. And watched as everyone's face drop to my response.

"You won't go somewhere just because it's too hot?" Kisame asked completely taken back.

"That's fuckin' stupid! The most studpidest thing I've ever heard!" Hidan turned to his partner seated directly across from him, "Kakuzu, don't you think that that is the most dumbest shit you've ever heard in your life?"

"No. It doesn't even come close to the shit that you say on a daily." Kakuzu's voice was calm and steady, "If she doesn't want to go somewhere because of the climate, then that's her choice. Why should I care?"

"But didn't you go to Paris with your boyfriend, Kami?" Heather said in aloud projected voice that seemed to end anyother conversations "I think you two also went to Milan too,right?"

Why was she saying this in front of all these people, and making it sound as if I'm in a relationship, escpially in front of-

"Oh, I fuckin 'see," Hidan had a huge grin on his face, "So you do travel to hot places, but only with your little boyfriend?"

"No! No!, I don't have a boyfriend for the moment, thank you very much." I said with heavy sarcasm. "And Paris and Milan are in Europe! Not the boiling continent of South America!" I was heated, pissed! Why was Heather doing this shit. She's done it before a few times in the past with our other groups of friends. Not only is it embarrassing for me but it's completely inappropriate.

"Oh I forgot." Was all she responded with a dull tone. "Whatever happened to Chris? I mean you guys where together for so long."

"Chris?" Chris was my first boyfriend that I had in middle school. It was purely innocent since we where so young. " I didn't travel with Chris," And she knew this, "I only traveled with Mark!"And she knew that too.

"Oh, oops... my bad, you've just had so many its hard to keep track, you know?" I couldn't believe what she was saying. Mark was my only real boyfriend that I messed around with. Chris may have taken my first kiss, but Mark took it all.

"Oh so that's how you are?" Hidan asked with disbelief in his eyes.

"No, It's not!" I yelled losing my cool,and rising from my seat. "I'm not like that!"

"That's not what you 'best friend' over there is saying,yeah." Deidara teased.

"She's not my friend. She's just some slut that fucked my ex-boyfriend while I was still with him." I said as I mad my way to her end of the table.

"'Slut!,' I am not a-" She didn't have a chance to finish her sentence as my fist connected with her face. I had never punched anyone before, with the exception of some little bitch named Tammi in second grade who stole my Snickers bar. I love Snickers.
