Jessica: OMG YAY!!! THREE MORE REVIEWS!!!!! THIS MAKES ME SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!! AND YESH, I DID TRY TO FIX THOSE MISTAKES AND I'M GLAD THAT THEY HAVE BEEN FIXED!!! AS FOR CANDY CONES…Here's the cliff notes version: I was at Alice's house, who was having a Christmas party, Sam was eating a candy cone(cane), I questioned his sexuality, he got mad and threw the sticky cone at me, it got in my hair, I got pissed, and grabbed Alice's candy cone and threw it at him. We had a candy cone fight, and finally Alice's mom came in and asked why we were having a candy CONE fight. We laughed and from now on instead on calling it a candy cane we say candy cone, especially around Alice's mom. IT WAS TOTALLY FUNNEH!!!! WOOO!
Jake: Wow…Has she gotten more hyper?
Alice: I don't know…-looks at a bouncy jess- Yes. Yes she has.
Jake: Greeeeaaaat, the one day I do show up and she's hyper as a frickin Chihuahua.
Jessica: -glares and sticks tongue out- By the way, where's Miranda? I remember inviting her too, that way she'd feel welcome in our group of friends since she started dating you.
Jake: You mean when I started dating her.
Jessica: I believe she asked YOU out.
Jake: -grumbles- Whatever.
Alice: -_-'''''
Jessica: Well, where is she?
Jake: She had to take her little sister and brother shopping. I don't know why though.
Jessica: She's actually nice to her little sibs?
Jake: yea, unlike you, who stuffs her brothers and sisters in a closet, lock them in their room, and make them watch horror movies or something!
Jessica: Awwww, they know I love 'em.
Alice: -mutters- Yea, right. It's a wonder they didn't push you off a cliff by now…
Jessica: -twitches-
Sam: Oooo, harsh!
Jessica: -ignores them all- You know what, Axel being here was so much fun yesterday! I think I should bring him back again today!
Everyone else but Jake: NO! –looks sheepishly at each other-
Alice: HE SET MY HAIR ON FIRE!
Sam: He gave me a friggin burning noogie!
Naruto: HE TOLD ME THAT HOKAGES EAT PEOPLE!!
Itachi: He hung Sasuke in a tree over a fucking lake filled with snakes and then cut my hair!
Jessica: -grinning- Isn't he awesome! And Naruto, Hokages DO eat people.
Naruto and Minato: O.O
Naruto: I DON'T WANT TO BE A HOKAGE NOW!!
Jessica: XD
Minato: They DON'T eat people!
Sam: Wait…dude, aren't you like…dead?
Minato: -mockingly- Like, dude, aren't you like, an idiot?
Sam: Touché, jeez…
Jessica: -tries to pull Axel out of KH but can't find him due to Xemnas blocking the portal- Dammit…Well, while you're here, Minato you wanna do the dissy?
Minato: If Jessica owned Naruto-
Naruto: Which I bow to the gods for them not letting her!
Minato: -eye twitching- if Jessica owned Naruto-
Itachi: No one would be sane.
Minato: -gritting teeth- IF JESSICA OWNED NARUTO-
Sasuke: Hokages would eat people.
Minato: DAMMIT STOP INTERUPTING ME!!!
Everyone: …-crickets in background-
Minato: -smiles- Thank you. If Jessica owned Naruto then there would be a crazy little thing called Yaoi, there would be Kyuubi and Kami playing poker with each other, and most importantly of all, Jessica couldn't own Naruto because her little brain couldn't possibly think of ME.
Jessica: WHAT was that?
Minato: -sweat drop- Uh….oh…RUN AWAY!!
Jessica: MINATO GET YOUR BLONDE ASS BACK HERE!!!
Naruto: Dad?
Alice: And let the story begin!

Good-bye
"Awww, we're going to miss you, Angel-chan!" Sasuke said while hugging his best friend, who was crying and had two suitcases packed. Mikoto had gone a bit overboard and had bought new clothes, shoes, and other products. Not to mention everyone had gotten her something.
"Don't worry, we'll still see each other at the Academy. Who knows, with them putting everyone in a new class maybe we'll get the same teacher?" the young redhead replied. Sasuke smiled and backed away. Itachi then bent down and playfully messed up her hair, she stuck her tongue out in response.
"Hey, I'll be coming over to make sure you guys are all right. Sometimes I may even bring Sasuke with me, if he's nice." The older Uchiha brother winked at the younger who rolled is eyes.
"all right, I'll hold you to it!" Mitsukaiko grinned at Itachi, who smiled back. Up next were Fugaku and Mikoto, who was holding back tears.
"Mitsu-chan, be a dear and tell your brother I said hi? Also, look after yourselves. I don't want my adoptive daughter to get into any more mischief, ok?" Mikoto told the young girl who nodded tearfully. Fugaku coughed and blushed.
"I'm not any good with goodbyes…so I…er," he got cut off when Mitsukaiko hugged his leg.
"Thank you, for being nice to me where others would be cruel." She whispered. Fugaku smiled kindly at the young girl and hugged her back.
"No, thank you for bringing joy into this family. For that, you are welcome here anytime, child." Mitsukaiko let go and nodded to Itachi, who would escort her home.
"I'm ready now, big brother. Carry my bags, will you please?" the family, excluding Itachi, let out a chuckle at that. One last laugh they would share, before a great tragedy.
Xxx
"Naruto-k-kun, please be careful, and tell your s-sister I said hi, ok?" Hinata asked Naruto, standing a few inches away from the blonde, since she was still far too shy to hug him. However, Naruto had other plans and wrapped his arm around the violet haired girl.
"Aww, Hinata-hime, don't worry! We'll see each other at school and then together we can prank and annoy Neji together!" the said brunette grumbled at his friend/rival.
"Naruto, I advise that you stay away from my class. We have a few…over excited soon-to-be-genin in there, and they would love to bully you and Hinata for being younger and weaker. Other than that…good luck. I will see you, unfortunately, at school come Monday." With that, Neji backed away, as it was Hiashi and Hizashi's turn to say farewell. The younger twin grinned.
"Don't be a stranger, Naruto-kun! Come and visit whenever you like, you certainly have a positive influence on the kids!" In the background Hinata 'eeped' and Neji grumbled, arguing that he wasn't a kid. Hizashi laughed at the responses and Naruto nodded.
"Course, I will! I couldn't stay away even if you put up an alarm system, thirty two vicious guard dogs, implanted bombs in the yard, and set up traps everywhere!"
"We know you couldn't, Naruto. As my brother said, don't be a stranger. We will miss your influence you have had in the house. We will all miss you." Naruto nodded, eyes shut tight into a foxy grin, since he didn't want anyone to see the tears forming into his eyes. Naruto backed away as Neji and Hinata went to walk to the blonde's apartment with him. The two older Hyuuga twins smiled at the sight.
"Come on guys, we all live in Konoha, we go to the Academy, we'll see each other and I could always come to your guys' house, ya know! Besides, my twin needs me t take care of her." Pausing, he suddenly came to a realization. "Wait a minute, we were both told we would live with you guys as a punishment, but I, and Mitsukaiko probably too, enjoyed our time living with our separate caretakers! If this wasn't a punishment then what?" Neji could only smirk, while his cousin giggled at Naruto's confusion. He would figure it out soon enough. On their way to the run-down apartment, the group encountered Itachi escorting Mitsukaiko to their home.
"Heeey, sis!" Naruto greeted and Mitsukaiko grinned at her twin's attitude.
"I see you haven't changed, Naru-chan." The red head retorted with a smirk as her blonde twin pouted.
"I see you haven't either." The two bantered and traded insults until they finally got to the street their apartment was located. When they caught sight of their apartment, which was more of a large house now, their jaws literallydropped to the ground.
At the same time, both twins exclaimed, "WHAT. THE. HOLY. HECK!?" hearing laughter the two turned to see Sarutobi and their friends laughing.
"Wha…" began Mitsukaiko (and here they go back and forth if any get confused)
"How?"
"When?"
"Who?"
"I thought?"
"Punishment?"
Grinning two grins that can't be rivaled by any, they tackled the Hokage to the ground. "THANK YOU!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!" (I'll let you decipher that by yourselves)
Sarutobi chuckled and patted the two seven year olds on the back in a grandfatherly way. "You're welcome you two. As for your…questions, I needed a way to get you two out of that run down shack and your prank was gave me the perfect chance to find reason. See, both clans were in on the plan, so it wasn't really a punishment. That answers 'when', 'punishment', 'what', and the 'I thought' questions. As for how and who, I gathered I gathered a bunch of trustworthy shinobi who helped build this house and we added some escape routes, including the one into the sewer," he gave the twins an amused stare with a raised eyebrow and the two addressed laughed sheepishly, "and how is simple. We tore down that other building and built a new one in its place. We have built several rooms that hopefully will be to your liking, including a training room underground. You two will easily distinguish whose room is whose, hopefully. Do you two like it?" the two paused and looked at each other. Then, turning to their jiji, they said in a solemn voice with frowns.
"No, we DON'T like it, Hokage-sama." Sarutobi frowned, as did everyone else. However, the two weren't done yet. "WE LOVE IT!!!" the two showered their jiji with hugs until he finally pushed them away.
"Ok, you two, time to get accustomed to your new home. I'll show you through the house one time, and then I have paperwork to do. Would you like to come?" he asked the audience, but the three merely shook their heads.
"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama, Mitsu-chan, Naruto-kun, but I have other work to do." Itachi sent the Hokage a knowing look and the old man nodded, sadly.
"Yes, yes, of course. What about you two?"
Neji replied, respectfully, "I am sorry, Hokage-sama, but Hinata and I must get back. We need to be getting home for lunch." The Hokage nodded and signaled for the two twins to follow him; the rest had already left.
As they entered the house, they immediately came upon a fair sized room with several furnishings. The floor was hardwood, the walls were painted a light, non-blinding, yellow, and a large circular old fashioned rug was laid in the middle, where a black leather corner couch was, a rocking chair, and a brown comfy recliner. There was a coffee table in the middle of the furniture and a small table in beside the recliner. There was a light in the ceiling, and a lamp in a corner that, when turned on, would brighten the areas the ceiling light did not.
"Wow! I haven't seen the rest of the house and already I LOVE it!" Mitsukaiko said, amazed. Sarutobi nodded his head.
"Indeed, it is impressive for a house that houses only two mischievous twins." The Professor replied, amused.
As they toured the rest of the house, the twins were told about three escape routes in all. Their old one was still there, that was concealed by the rug in the living room. Another one was in the kitchen, a door that led to the back alley, and the third was in the basement, oddly. With the basement being underground, it shouldn't be possible to even be able to escape, but it was possible. Sarutobi had created a tunnel, using earth jutsu, that lead straight to the Hokage tower, should the two ever need to be with him right away.
After the tour the two children bowed to their Jiji and thanked him politely. The old man, not used to Naruto being polite (Mitsukaiko was more, if sometimes forgetting her manners, polite then her twin) hesitated before answering with a serene smile.
"Your welcome children, anytime you need my assistance, just call. Now, I have to get going. I'm pretty sure there will be a huge stack of papers on my desk that I have to do a fire jutsu, I mean that I have to complete. Without further ado, good-night." The old Hokage left the two children, who were grinning wildly. After five minutes to let it all sink in, the two jumped up, pumping their arms in the air and yelled. However, soon they stopped after they got yelled at by a fellow neighbor to shut up.
XxX
There were screams in the air, but no could hear because of the silence tags that the intruder had placed around the compound. Red eyes glinted in the darkness of the night as he silenced yet another life. Had Itachi Uchiha gone crazy? No, and neither did he want to do this gruesome act. His final act in Konoha would forever burn in his mind, reminding him of the horrible thing he was ordered to do by the Council and the Hokage. Of course, he was given a choice in the matter, but he had chosen to do it, for he had seen the truth of the Uchiha clan and for that he would be the Sword of Justice, bringing his family down on their knees before the Shinigami. The Uchihas were plotting a coup against the Hokage and Council, planning to place on the Uchiha elders as Hokage, and their first act would have been to kill the Uzumaki twins and his little brother. He couldn't have that, and at first wouldn't believe it. But then the Hokage had placed the evidence, signed by all of the Uchiha Elders, in front of him.
The young Uchiha walked into his home, where the last two remaining victims stood, facing him bravely. His parents…had nothing to do with it, nothing at all, but they too, had to go to make it seem like he had gone crazy. A trickle of tears fell down his face, while his parents looked at him with compassion and love.
"We love you, Itachi, and hope that you may find happiness somewhere else. Please, please make sure Sasuke doesn't get harmed, and that he survives this. And if you see Mitsukaiko ever again, tell her that we love her too, as the daughter of our best friends." His mother said while his father looked at him proudly.
"We are proud of you, son, for doing this, for the good of Konoha. Son, I may never have shown it, but you and Sasuke are a gift from the gods themselves. Good luck." With those final words, Itachi killed his parents, letting out a cry of anguish. More tears slipped past his eyelids, which were shut tight. The executioner and yet victim stood, waiting for his brother to come home from school. After waiting half an hour he finally heard, and felt his brother, entering the compound. Just a few more minutes and Itachi schooled his expression into an uncaring one. Finally Sasuke opened the door and when he saw his parents, he gave out a cry.
"MOM! FATHER!!!" the young boy screamed and his eyes widened further when he saw his brother step out from the shadows, the full moon lighting his face.
"Foolish little brother…."

Naruto awoke with a muffled yell. He had heard a loud crash downstairs and was scared to go see if it was a villager breaking in or his twin stumbling over something in the dark getting a glass of water. When he heard a loud crash again, he whimpered and snuggled deeper into his bed, but after a minute of being a coward, he sat up and pushed the blankets away. He would go see what the noise was, it was probably just Mitsukaiko.
As he crept down the stairs, he saw a light in the kitchen and sighed with relief. It was just his twin after all. With that little relief, he went to the bathroom and decided to go back to bed. No need to go see why his twin was up in the middle of the night, right?
XxX
Mitsukaiko yawned as she sat up from her bed. She had heard a loud crash downstairs and immediately thought that it was a villager breaking in, however as she heard another crash soon after, her mind wandered to the possibility of it being Naruto getting a snack or something. Still, she decided to creep downstairs and see what the problem was. As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw Naruto, her own twin, holding a knife and glaring at her.
"N-Naruto? What are you doing? Is there a villager here?" she asked, not liking the way he was staring at her. Her blonde twin just advanced toward her, growling like an animal. "N-NARUTO! Stop it, this isn't funny!" he said nothing in return.
"I never loved you, you're the cause of our pain, Mitsukaiko. It's ALL. YOUR. FAULT. That I suffer this pain every day, it's YOU'RE fault, that I'm constantly degraded, mocked, spit on, laughed at! IT'S YOUR FAULT!!!!!" her brain told her to move as her deranged twin lunged at her with the knife, but she was in too much shock to move. However, it wasn't until she felt pain, horrible pain, that she snapped out of it and looked down to see a knife plunged into her abdomen. She took a shuddering gasp and fell backwards. The pain, it overwhelmed her mind but she saw Naruto force the knife out of her and prepared to take another strike, at her heart. Not giving him the chance, she crawled back and stood, though wobbling a bit. However, that didn't stop her from walking backwards away from the proceeding maniac in front of her. Finally, as he started to grin and laugh, a horrible sound because it was an EVIL grin and laugh, she turned and fled the house. She didn't stop as she ran onto the streets. She didn't stop as she passed a few strangers still walking out late, but she did stop when she ran into a certain young man. She was gasping now, the pain intense and fear overwhelming her mind. The young girl looked up, and saw a pair of red eyes staring at her curiously.
"I-Itachi!! Na-Naruto's gone crazy!" as she started to cry, rain started to fall, softly at first, but then harder and lightning clashed above them, and thunder was heard in the distance. "H-he stabbed me, and I don't know why. H-he called me a demon and blamed me for the p-pain! I-Itachi make it stop, make the pain stop!" she sobbed and the young man bent down, picked her up, and held her close as he started running.
"Mitsukaiko, it seems as if we are both unwanted here in this town. I was ordered to commit an act of horrible treason, ordered by the Hokage and Council." Mitsukaiko looked up at the handsome man, in awe. Her wound was already slowly healing from the secret demon inside her that she didn't know about, and was closing up and hurting less. "I was ordered to kill my family, the entire Uchiha clan. However, in the end I couldn't bear to kill my parents, but I did, and then Sasuke came home. Him…I wasn't able to kill, so I merely made him see the entire massacre, first row seat. I did a horrible thing tonight, but I am hoping I can cleanse my soul." Mitsukaiko was still crying, though not out of pain, but out of sadness for the death of two people she considered parents, for her friend Sasuke who would now live the life of an orphan, and for Itachi was now mentally wounded.
"I-Itachi-nii-san? I don't blame you, you should have never been put through that. I am sad, for…mom and dad, and for Sasuke-nii-san, but I am also sad for you. You were a victim tonight, not just the executioner…Itachi-nii? Wherever you are going, can I go with you? I don't want to return, not until I'm ready." Itachi smiled, and looked down at the tired girl.
"Of course…imooto." With the rain still pounding down, the two said their final good-bye to Konoha.
Behind the scenes:
"TOO MUCH ANGST!!! AHHHHHH!!!" shouted Naruto and ran around until Mitsukaiko grabbed a pole and set it in front of her twins path.
CLANG!
Everyone sweat dropped as Naruto fell to the ground, unconscious and a small bump was steadily growing larger.
"Idiot." Mitsukaiko dead panned and walked away.
"I think she's still pissed off at me!" Jessica whispered to Tiffany, who was dragged here unwillingly, and then froze as Mitsukaiko shot a glare her way. Next thing she knew, her own creation shot a tranquilizer dart at her, making the blonde go sleepy-sleepy.
Sitting on his chair, Sam ignored as an all out food fight started, even when food was thrown on him.
"THIS IS CHAOS!!! JESSICA, WAKE UP AND STOP THIS MADNESS BEFORE YOUR CAVE BECOMES A FRIGGIN MESS!!!" waking up, Jessica inspected the fight and glared.
"STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT! NO ONE STARTS A FOOD FIGHT IN THIS ROOM…" chirp, chirp Silence took over and everyone stopped moving. Picking up a piece of cherry pie (wherever did THAT come from?) she flung it at Itachi. "Without me." The food fight ensued and Tiffany shrieked as peanut butter got flung in her hair.
"AH! MY HAIR!!! ALICE! YOU ARE SO GETTING IT NOW!!!" like a woman possessed, the brunette flung food everywhere at a break necks pace.
Not a single person, object, or space was left uncovered by food.
Later after the food fight:
"Hey, hey, wait a minute, who cued the rain?!" Sam shouted as rain started falling from the ceiling. Jessica was sitting on the bars, swinging her feet, and grinning.
"I did, Director! I need to clean my room somehow!" Sam cursed and shook his head. How did he get mixed up with the crazies and non-existent anime people anyway?
Jessica: OMG!! I AM SOOOO SORRY! I would have gotten it out yesterday, but I slept in late and yeah…hehe! I had play practice all week (it's a musical this time peoples) and guess who else is in it?
Tiffany: Meeeee!!! And Brianna, and Ashely…and Jake…and Bob…and Jessie, Hope, Tina, Miranda(Jakes GF), and Trevor!
Jessica: TIFFANY HAS A CRUSH ON CHRIS WHO IS ALSO IN THE PLAY, and another friend.
Tiffany: SHUT UP JESSICA BEFORE A STRANGLE YOU WITH A SPOON!!!
Jessica: HA!! AS IF! WE ALL KNOW YOU HAVE TO USE A FORK TO STRANGLE SOMEONE PROPERLY!!!
Alice: SHUT UP!!!!
Tiffany and Jessica: O.O –hugs each other and looks at Alice fearfully-
Jessica: Uh who, Alwice is angwry with us…
Alice: -glares-
Tiffany and Jessica: RUN AWAY!!!!
Jake: -sighs- Please read and review.
Jessica and Tiffany: -from over a hill- THEY'VE ALREADY FUCKING READ!!!
Jake: Alice is so gonna kill them.
Alice: I am so gonna kill them.
Jake: -as Alice chases Tiffany and Jessica- You see, dear readers, Alice is angry because her relatives are coming over, and for those of you who remember from the other TD, Alice can't stand it when her family is all together because they piss her off…a LOT. Not to mention stress from the play is making her even more irritable. Of course, Jessica and everyone know this but like to test her patience. –sees something being done to Jessica an Tiffany- Uhhhh, thank you for reviewing, and Jessica will write more as soon as she gets out of the hospital. ALICE!! STOP THAT NOW!! YOU CAN'T HARM THE AUTHORESS!!!
