A/N: I decided to take a break from my usual style. I decided to write four mini-stories. Each one is told from each character's point of view. Enjoy!

Chapter 16 I Must Be At His Side

Unusual Weekend Stories: My Story

It's not like I haven't spent the night at a guy's house before. Yet this time things are different. Itachi and I end up house-sitting. Being alone together what could happen? I'll tell you what just listen.

Chores around the house are done; Itachi and I have nothing to do since we can't leave the house. Until I decide to try taking a nap on the familiar oriental couch. Itachi indicates otherwise. He takes me in his arms and starts carrying me upstairs to his room.

"Itachi kun, watashi wa anata no gārufurendo da rikōru saigo no jikan. Mada anata no tsuma. (Itachi kun, last time I recalled I'm your girlfriend. Not your wife.)" I softly whine.

"Anata wa Ashurii-chan o shitte, anata dake no jibun no mirai no tsuma kentō subekide aru. Mata, anata no sono sofuto susurinaki ga watashi o anata wa watashi no kuchibiru ni kongan shite iru shiji shimasu. (You know Ashley chan, you should just consider yourself my future wife. Besides, that soft whine of yours tells me you're begging for my lips.)" Itachi counters.

"Mo soko ni iku shinaide kudasai. Shikashi, amai watashi wa dōsa shimasen hanashite imi o sasoi. (Don't even go there. Tempting implication but, sweet talking me won't work.)" I say slyly.

"Ā,-sō desu ka? Sate, sore wa anata no yōna oto ga hoshi gatte iru dake de watashi no kuchibiru ijō. O nozominara nani demo suru yo. (Oh, is that so? Well then, it sounds like you're begging for more than just my lips. Your wish is my command.)" Itachi smiles.

I purr with satisfaction. Itachi gently sets me on his bed. I blink and he's shirtless, lying next to me. Itachi kisses me and his chakra floods my senses, unlocking a part of me that I've suppressed for too long. The part of me that calls for love. I let Itachi drive my senses wild as my purring gets louder. We make out until lunch time. After lunch, Itachi and I take a nap together. One thing becomes clear to me as I dream: I must be at Itachi's side. As for the rest of the weekend it doesn't matter anymore.

Unusual Weekend Stories: Dei-chan's Story

I'm finally getting the hang of Deidara's art. The problem is it takes a lot out of me. This makes me feel very crappy. Still Deidara-sempai calls me "his little artist." I feel he's lying to me about his comments.

So it's Saturday again. We're not training today. Deidara-sempai feels that he's pushing our training too much. We have the house to ourselves. A perfect chance to talk to Deidara-sempai.

"Sempai, what am I to you?" I ask.

"'My little artist'." Deidara answers. "What's wrong Kurera chan?"

"I feel I'm not cut out for this anymore." I sigh.

"How dare you say that? I know things are still rough but don't you ever say that again." Deidara say kindly.

I look at him in awe and confusion. Sempai hugs me tenderly. He holds me close and doesn't let go. An hour later, Deidara-sempai ends up watching over me while I take a nap. After my nap I realize: I must be at Deidara-sempai's side. As for the rest of the weekend it doesn't matter.

Unusual Weekend Stories: Kisa chan's Story

I'm thinking about how Itachi neesan (Ashurii) makes so many sacrifices for others. I look up to her. Itachi Neesan is practically my big sister. It's because of her that my life has changed. I've got a personal guard that I'm happy to have. Thanks to Itachi neesan in a way. If only there was a way to repay my debt to her. Then again, it's Saturday and I tend to think a lot. Kisame knows this and interrupts my chain of thought.

"Hey Kitty chan, what's on your mind?" Kisame interrupts.

"Itachi neesan." I answer.

"I see. Well it's about noon. Did you want to call her?" Kisame asks.

I pull out my cell phone and dial Itachi neesan's number. All I get is her answering machine, right away.

'Mashi Mashi! (Hello!) Sorry I can't come to phone right now. I'm most likely busy or don't feel like answering my phone. Then again I've probably turned off my phone because I'm making out with Itachi kun! Sayonara!'

"Itachi neesan!" I laugh. "I knew it. You do have a naughty side."

"You know what Kiti chan; I just tried calling Itachi san. He's a smooth criminal." Kisame laughs. "His phone is off as well."

"Itachi neesan would have our heads if she found out about us trying to spy on her. But I feel sleepy now." I yawn.

Kisame and I take a nice nap together. As I dream I realize that Itachi neesan wants me to be happy. She wants me to decide where I want to be. So in a way I must be at Kisame's side. The rest of the weekend doesn't matter.

Unusual Weekend Stories: Kakashi kouhai's Story

Itachi sempai always calls me 'naive' or 'baka (fool in this case)'. Even Sasuke Tenshi, he ends up reminding me. It makes me angry every time. Saturday again, it's the unusual argument about me being naive and/or foolish. At my own house.

"Kakashi chan, with all due respect, you're just too naïve and foolish sometimes." Sasuke sighs, activating his Sharingan.

"Shut the hell up!" I yell. I snap, punching Sasuke in the back. My punch connects just below his left shoulder blade. However, I don't think I put enough force to cause any damage.

Sasuke takes a brief look at me. "Violence isn't the answer here. It seems like Ashurii chan ingrained something into you. However, you're only proving everyone right about you. Come with me; allow me to help you to change."

"Doko? (Where?) Naze? (Why?)" I ask.

"The Uchiha Clan compound. We're going to train. Besides, I'm certain your sempai would approve anyway." Sasuke answers.

I obediently obey orders as I travel with him. Our training is intense. I feel I'm finally useful to everyone. Thanks to Sasuke Tenshi. It sucks that I have to be carried home. I nearly fall asleep on Sasuke's back. This kind of annoyed him a bit. In this moment, I realize where I need to be. I must be at Sasuke Tenshi's side. The rest of the weekend doesn't matter to me.
