POV.:/b

Sasori sighed again as he was made to carry more boxes wrapped in colourful silk. When he first volunteered to take Itachi out on a tour around the village, he didn't mean to sign himself up for slavery for that brat Deidara! That little brat was buying things like crazy! If there was some spending disease, that blonde would be the first one to catch it and spread it all over the world!

"Brat! Can you puh-lease calm the fuck down?! You haven't even asked Itachi-sama whether or not he wanted to buy these shit," the redhead stated grumpily, shifting as he struggled to carry all the heavy goods.

"Danna, un! Don't be mean~ I'm sure Ita-chama (1) likes it. Right, Ita-chama?" The blonde chirped, skipping forward and linked his arm with the Uchiha's, grinning like an idiot.

The puppet-master glared at him and growled lowly, "Hey! Who gave you permission to call him 'Ita-chama'?" Itachi chuckled awkwardly and gave Sasori a forced grin, silently telling him to let the blonde off the hook this time. After all, Deidara was quite the troublesome one and would bring the argument to the very bitter end if it meant that he would end up winning.

Sighing for the umpteenth time, Sasori had no choice but to let it slide and play along, being the errand boy for his master and the brat that he wanted to beat the crap out of with a pillow every time he laid his sight on him. Seriously, he had no idea what Pein was thinking when he gave Deidara permission to tag along. Sometimes when he thought of it, maybe Pein just wanted to torture him or something like that, or else he wouldn't have always made Sasori deal with the brat.

b.:With Lee!:./b

"Oi, Neji you bastard! When are going to stop hiding from me?!" Screamed a frustrated Lee as he finished his march all over the Hyuuga estate and ended up in the main chamber, looking for his damn best friend. During his tantrum, Lee didn't notice the Hyuuga leader that was giving him an exasperated stare, wondering why the bowling ball wouldn't stop rolling around, looking for someone who was obviously hiding under the table. (2)

Gaara rounded the corner and instantly collided with a furious looking Lee. Blushing and bowing his head slightly, thinking that the anger was directed at him, the small raccoon stuttered, "G-gomen, Lee-san. I-I didn't know you were standing there."

Seeing the cute redhead blushing and stuttering in such a cute manner, lee couldn't help but feel a few hard tugs on his heart. Gulping loudly, he gave the younger man a stutter of his own, "U-um, I-it's okay! R-really! It's got nothing to do with you!" At this, Gaara bowed his head even more and blushed even harder.

Hinata rolled her lavender-coloured eyes at the scene played out in front of her. She yawned and gestured to Kurenai to help her stand up before walking off, leaving the raccoon and Lee alone.

b.:With Hinata:./b

Hinata stretched and yawned as he walked towards the entrance of the Hyuuga estate, heading for her daily walk. Things were so quiet around here that sometimes she wonders when something big was going to happen. Something interesting, something to fire things up a little. It's kind of funny how a human brain work. When there's nothing exciting, you want something to happen and yet when something actually happens, you want it to be over and for everything to be fine again.

The raven made her way down the familiar path that leads from her estate to a nearby river that she had always hung around when she was younger, before things had become so hard for her. Hinata can still remember how badly she had spent her childhood studying just to become the leader of her clan, just to prove to her father that she is worthy of being his daughter. Just to make her old man proud…

Chuckling bitterly, the Hyuuga leader snorted at her past, naïve self. Even now, she couldn't believe that she had spent the better of her life trying so hard to make someone that saw her as no more than a failure, proud. She doubt her father had ever loved her. She doubt that he had love anyone… Not her… Not even her 'genius' little sister that he had showered with praises and had spoilt rotten. All he ever cared about was the Hyuuga clan and never about the people that make it up.

Whatever, there's no point in holding a grudge against a dead person anyways. Although Hinata must admit that sometimes when she thought about the past, she had dearly wanted her father to still be alive. To show him what she has truly become, to show him her gained confidence and pride, to show him that she had become what he had always wanted yet he was not the one that made her this way.

Lost in her own thoughts, Hinata didn't even realise that she had arrived at her destination. Sounds of splashing water pulled her out of her thoughts and she quickly focused her gaze which landed on a huge dog. Surprised, her eyes widen before she stuttered, "A-Akamaru? Akamaru-chan…? Is that you?!"

Glancing up at the sudden voice, Kiba felt a lump in his throat when he saw exactly who it is that had interrupted his time with Akamaru. Arms dropping down, slack at his side, the dog-lover couldn't do anything other than stare at his old friend.

"Kiba…?!" Hinata was the first to break off the silence. Suddenly, a grin spread out on her face and she quickly made her way towards the edge of the riverbank.

Kiba looked more surprised than ever. Despite sometimes seeing Hinata in the village or coincidentally crossing paths, they hadn't spoken to each other, at least as friends, in such a long time that he almost forgot what the Hyuuga sounded like when laid-back and being casual.

"Kiba! What's with that face? You look like you don't want to see me," Hinata stated with a frown. Kiba was about to apologise until he caught the glint of playfulness in those lavender-coloured eyes.

"T-that's not it, Hinata-sama," he replied instead.

Hinata frowned for a split second, "Why are you addressing me so formally? You used to only call me Hinata. What's with the distancing?"

"Well, you're a leader now…" Kiba started but only to be cut off by the demanding woman.

"And I was the heir before. Leader, heir, what's the difference? Just continue to call me like you did before, baka *idiot*," the raven stated. Sensing that he couldn't win an argument with the Hyuuga's leader, Kiba all but nodded in submission.

Grinning widely, Hinata teasingly questioned, "So, what's with the horrified look from before when you just saw me? Not to mention, you have been avoiding me lately, and don't you dare deny it!" She wagged a finger in his direction.

Kiba scratched the back of his head sheepishly as he tried to answer her question, "T-that wasn't a horrified look, it's a surprised one. 'Cause you haven't spoken directly to me in such a long time and I never avoided you, I just thought you'd like to keep a bit of distance…"

"And why'd I like to keep distance?"

"W-well… I just thought so because ever since you became the Hyuuga clan's leader, you've never talked to me directly before… I just thought you were uncomfortable with being friends…"

Hinata's gaze softened at this. It was true that for the past 3 years, she hadn't exactly been friendly with Kiba or their other childhood friends. But it wasn't like she had meant to be cruel! At first she had only wanted to be alone after the incident with a particular blonde but when she finally managed to get over it, her stomach had gotten bigger and she had to leave the village for a few months to deal with the baby. Shortly after she had given birth and was about to return, she received news that her father had passed away leaving her to handle the clan.

Busy with clan responsibilities and trying to gain their respect, Hinata had distanced herself even further to concentrate solely on bringing the clan back together (and partly because she didn't want those men to think that she is a childish girl who only cares about fun).

By the time that everything in her clan had settled down considerably, Hinata had found that it was too hard to try and mend friendships. She simply didn't know how to start! What was she supposed to do, after ignoring them for almost two years? She couldn't just waltz back into their lives and go all 'let's be friends again, desu', how would that sound? Not knowing what to do, Hinata simply left it at that. Letting withered friendships wilt even more.

Hinata realised that maybe they hadn't hated her. They just also found it hard to approach her when she's seemingly building a thick wall around her. Deciding to be bold and try her luck, Hinata spoke, "Let's forget about what's happened in the last few years, do you still want to be friends?" As soon as the words left her lips, Hinata suddenly felt cold. She shouldn't be asking in such a commanding tone! She should've been softer and-

"Yes!" Kiba cried. 'Let's be friends again!" Hinata stared at him in shock before a grin broke out on her face.

Slumping down into the water, Kiba sighed loudly, "Maaaaannn, and I was so afraid that you hated me so some shit like that. Good to be normal again."

The raven glanced at him amusedly before getting into the water herself. Tis might just turn out to be a great day.

b.:With Pein!:./b

"What the fuck are you doing, Uchiha?!" Pein exclaimed in pure horrification.

Itachi looked up from his 'art' and merely glanced at the elder before ignoring him and continuing to poke flowers all over a sleeping Kakashi's hair. Pein gasped in horror, not only at the Uchiha's attitude, but also at the unknowing scarecrow.

How could he, the great Hatake Kakashi, the awesome kickass 'spy' let someone poke fucking SUNFLOWERS through his hair while he's sleeping?! Not only that, but Pein had also noticed that some butterflies were settling on top of the sunflowers.

Shuddering, Pein yelled at Itachi again, causing the younger to frown and glare at him. The two then proceed to bicker at each other and while concentrating on their fight, they failed to notice a Kakashi that was about to wake up. A Kakashi that was opening his eyes. A Kakashi that wondered why his head felt heavy. A Kakashi who spot a hand mirror and picked it up. A Kakashi that was about to scream in one. Two. THREE!

The Hatake's scream echoed all throughout the estate and was so loud that Itachi and Pein had to block their ears in fear of bursting their eardrums. When he had finally calmed down, Itachi had carefully approached the scarecrow and asked if he was fine.

Kakashi suddenly smiled back and answered that he was perfectly fine and was only 'surprised' at his new… accessories. Itachi then happily smiled and walked back to his room while a secretly devastated Kakashi buried himself in his own pains.

Pein sighed in annoyance. Why does so much drama must happen in HIS household? Why couldn't the Hyuuga clan meet the same trouble or some shit like that? Why is he the only one that has to handle idiots? Seriously… Life is so unfair sometimes…

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

the Evening!.:/b

"GAHHHHH!" When Pein heard a loud, ear-piercing, horrified scream coming from the Uchiha's room he had burst through the closed doors and knocked down the paper screen that hid the bath behind it to find a frightened looking Uchiha, shuddering in the bathtub.

"Uchiha, what's the matter?" Pein demanded, trying to ignore the fact that Itachi looked deliciously vulnerable when trying hard to not cry.

"S-snake… T-there's a snake in the bathtub! Wahhhh!" The raven half-sobbed in answer. His slim frame trembled in fear and it took all of the orange-head's will-power to not scoop the younger up into his arms and comfort him.

Pushing those thoughts back into the back of his head, the elder finally registered the information into his head. Snake = Danger. Snake in Bathtub = Itachi in Danger…

"Holy fuck!" Cried Pein as he quickly wrapped his arms around the younger and lifted him up, bridal style, back into the bedroom. The Uchiha clung onto Pein like he was his lifeline and didn't let go until he was safely deposited onto his warm bed. Only then did the both of them realised that the Uchiha was in fact, very naked… And that Pein's hand was squeezing a very interesting place…

"Gah! Pervert!" The Uchiha screamed, smacking Pein on the top of his head with his pillow.

"Ow ow ow! You bitch! Is this how you fucking thank someone who just saved your ass from getting bitten by a fucking snake?!" Exclaimed a very flustered looking leader.

"Thank you?! Thank YOU for groping me?! You asshole!" And so another meaningless bicker was created. Too distracted by their own stupidity, both males failed to notice two very suspicious-looking shadows from outside Itachi's window.

"Heh, I KNEW this would work!" Shadow 1 chuckled. "Ow! What was that for?!" He then exclaimed as he was elbowed in the ribs by Shadow 2.

"Baka! *Idiot!* What if they hear us?! I don't want your stupid son to castrate me for setting a snake into his lover's room!" Shadow 2 hissed.

Shadow 1 then proceeded to pout childishly, "But they just got closer! Awww, didn't you see how cute my lil' Peini-chan was when he was all protective-mode?"

"Che, whatever… If anything happens, you're gonna be taking responsibility! Anyways, my little Kabu-chan is waiting for me with dinner, I'm so ditching you," Shadow 2 snorted, standing up and leaving a crying Shadow 1...

IWhat will happen next?! Have you figured out who Shadow 1 & 2 were?! Was this chapter to your liking?! Will you please review for my sake?! Will ItaIta and his beloved Peini ever fall in love with each other?! Will I ever update again?! Will I even continue to write anything anymore?!/I
