Ok… I stayed up again to do this… this time; it's actually 2:27. I have got to start writing my chapters earlier… On another note, I want to let you guys know that I personally think the demon part is stupid. Read on to find out. The thing is if I don't do that, there isn't going to be a way for the story to progress. And I'm trying to finish this before my holiday ends… so… sorry for the sucky story… part two comes next week because I can't write anymore without spacing out for an hour.

On a side note, I've been trying to survive the 1 hour loop of FUKKIRETA by Teto-chan… I did that while writing and surprisingly, I'm not that irritated…

Anyways, ENJOY PEOPLE! Thank you to evil-mastermind-no-1 and kitsunefang. You guys are awesome! Review!

"Ok. Their real. What do we do?" Felix said in exasperation after peeking out the door. Majority of the Akatsuki were awake, staring the magic box known as TV. She stared at me cluelessly before looking back at the door. I shrugged unhelpfully. And hungrily too, I might add. My stomach was growling terribly. I cradled my hungry tummy before desperately clawing at Felix.

"Pretty please? They can't kill us. They have orders not to. I'm hungryyyy…" Felix stared at me, sighing. She nodded, unable to resist my puppy eyes. I decided that I would never, ever, do something like that again. The pleading, I mean. Felix approached the door hesitantly so I elbowed her. She looked back at me crossly before popping her head out the door then stepping lightly out still clothed in her pink pyjamas. I rolled my eyes at her comical acting.

When we went downstairs, every conscious member of the Akatsuki stared at us. Deidara, who was closes to us as he sat on the staircase playing with some blutack, said something foreign to us. He patted his tummy and I heard a faint growling. Felix understood immediately and nodded, her hospitable spirit firing up. She immediately left for the kitchen to cook up some breakfast. I sighed before plopping myself onto the weirdly empty couch. And then, I found out why it was empty.

"BECCC-CHAANNN!" I didn't have to know Japanese to know that that lollipop face was IRRITATING. I tried to endure the masked man's irritating voice. I preferred talking to the murderous and psychotic half of this guy than the crazy and hyper side of him. Just then, I heard a loud noise come from the kitchen. I had the chance to glance at the kitchen before I felt myself lose consciousness.

Felix

"Welcome to my realm, the Realm of Nightmares and most of all, the Realm of Death."

I rubbed my head as I regained control of myself. I looked up blankly and got a scare. There was a… thing sitting on an ebony throne. That thing was entirely black, like a creature of the night. The ethereal being seemed to be dressed in a shadow-like cloak which seemed to be made of the souls of the dead. There were clearly faces in his cloak, making his costume seem to scream in pain.

"Well, that name definitely suits you, oh great king of thou nightmares." Bec said sarcastically, placing a hand on her forehead dramatically, the smirk on her face showed no signs of fear. I stared at her, startled by her sudden presence. On my left, Alex had begun to slowly materialise, rubber ducky pyjamas and all. The oblivious girl rubbed her eyes tiredly and managed to somehow fall asleep standing. Even before such a malevolent feeling presence.

"How gutsy." Those two words seemed to bounce off the walls of the flaming palace, thundering throughout the beings home. Bec's head was cocked to the side in curiosity. She asked the man, "Why are you doing this? Don't you have papers to sign or something?" The god-like being laughed, booming throughout the palace.

"I see that your quick wit helped you to connect the pieces. As of late, I have been rather, bored. As you humans say. Furthermore, you puny little creatures die so quickly." There was a distinct look of disgust on his face like you would when you were talking about frogs. "Do you know how much paperwork is involved in a single person's death? So I decided to give granting wishes a try. Of course with a certain something in exchange. Imagine my surprise when the three of you actually wish for your fictional characters to be real. Most of you selfish beings have wished for eternal wealth, eternal beauty, to live forever, etc etc etc. They never end well of course."

The entity paused to look down at his feet where the three of us "puny humans" were standing.

"Now then, it seems like the three of you have run into a problem. A language barrier, am I right? Hm… When you awaken, it should be solved." The being's face seemed to become serious. "Beware of the pearly gates and their guards. They will find out about your presence soon enough. They will try to kill you for accepting a wish from Satan himself. When that happens, make sure you survive. Do not disturb my fun. Understood?"

We (Bec and I) could only nod helplessly.

"BEC-CHAN, BEC-CHAN, BEEECC-CHHANN! AREE YOOUU OOKKK?" I freakin awoke with a migraine the size of the freaking empire state building. I don't usually curse but with a migraine this big? Tobi was definitely getting on my nerves. I stared at him with enough killer intent to kill a cow.

"Shut up." I said, my teeth gritted together. Then I realised something.

"You. You understand what I'm saying, am I right?"

"OF COURSE, BEC-CHANNN!"

So that demon looking thing was real. But I realised something. Felix had lost consciousness while she was cooking. I sprinted to the kitchen.

Itachi

I entered the kitchen feeling a little bored and hungry for that matter. The girl, Felix, I believe, seemed to be cooking something that smelt like eggs. Omelettes I think. I sat myself quietly at the table. When she turned around with a pan of eggs, she started a little. She didn't seem to have heard me come in.

She smiled at me, a little hesitant. Her guards were still up. A smart choice. All of a sudden, her body turned limp. Alarmed, I rushed off my chair just in time to catch her body and the pan that fell with her. Throughout her unconsciousness, her body was sweating heavily. I lifted her easily and placed her on the table, moving the plate of food to the counter.

After nearly fifteen minutes of being unconscious, she awoke just as Bec ran into the kitchen. For some inexplicable reason, I seemed to actually understand the exchange between Bec and Felix. When Felix sat up, her face was red all over.

"Thank… Thank you, Itachi-san." She said, her voice wavering a little.

I nodded slightly before taking a seat again.

No one

"AHHHHHHHH! GET THIS FUCKING BITCH OFF ME! GET HER OFFFF!" The psychotic silver haired killer screamed, nearly inaudibly. The girls in the kitchen peeked outside the kitchen door only to be greeted by… horror of all horrors… Hidan was waving his arm around mindlessly, screeching. Attached to his arm was a still asleep Alex who did not seem the least bit fazed. Her slobber coated Hidan's arm.

"YOU GUYS. GET THIS BITCH THE FUCKING SHIT OFF MY ARM!"

At this, Bec and Felix responded by rushing to him, trying to pry Alex off his arm. After a good twenty minutes spent on trying to get Alex's vice-like grip off Hidan, the girl herself awoke.

"What the fucks happening?" She opened her eyes and immediately let go of Hidan's hand, shrieking like a banshee. She ran up to the toilet and a cry of "FUCK ME, WHY THE FUCK, BODY?" resounded to the living room.

An entire two hours into the hectic morning and an awkward silence had wormed itself into the group of more than ten people that were eating from a table that only fit four comfortably. Hidan and Alex were just glaring holes into each other, Tobi was bothering Deidara ,who had threatened to blow up the house, Felix was desperately trying to start a conversation. The only people that weren't affected seemed to be Pain and Konan. Even Bec seemed to be irritated.

"OK! YOU GUYS STINK!" Bec couldn't take it anymore. She got up and pulled the person nearest to her who happened to be Kisame. With some difficulty, she heaved the blue man to the toilet.

"Bath. You smell like rotting fish. I'll get you a towel and clothes. " Bec turned back to the kitchen as Kisame reluctantly entered the pink bathroom.

"Each of you. Take turns bathing. I will not take no for an answer. Pain-sama, I'm sure you are willing to help me in this. Because if your children don't bathe, I'm going to kick them out." Pain sighed before nodding.

Alex

Moments later, another problem had surfaced.

"Ok. We don't fucking have any fucking clothes big enough for Kisame." I glanced at Kisame, then back at the box of guy clothes.

"And, there isn't enough clothes for everyone to wear."

Bec, evidently still severely pissed, sighed and rubbed her temples. She was staring to resemble freaking Pain. She nodded at me before screaming at the top of her voice, above Deidara and Tobi's squabbling and Hidan's stupid cursing," HALF OF THE PEOPLE THAT AREN'T NAKED WILL FOLLOW ME AND TAKE THE HUMMER. ALEX AND FELIX, GRAB THE OTHER HALF AND WE'LL MEET AT THE MALL."

On the way to the mall, the ones who were with us included Itachi and Sasori. In other words, the quieter of the bunch. Pain and Konan didn't want to come so we left them at home with the still naked Kisame… I did a quick calculation and realised to my horror that we were probably going to end up blowing all our money. If each of them bought jeans and about 7 pairs of shirts, not even including the rest of our living expenses, we would probably end up spending at least two hundred dollars.

"Felix, after this, we're going to have to be fucking homeless." I muttered worriedly. Felix put on a brave front and courageously said," We'll cross the bridge when it comes." I could see the underlying fear in her voice, however. I stared at her a little longer before nodding my head defeatedly

Bec

"ARE WE THERE YET? BECCC-CHAANN! LOOKK ATT THHEEE DOGGGY OUTTTSIDDEE!" The masked man (boy)continued his rambling and it was grating on my nerves. Deidara had found some ear buds back home and managed to ignore the annoying muffled babbling. If not for the fact that I was driving I would have put my hands around Tobi's neck and squeezed hard. Hidan and Kakuzu were arguing over some religious thing and it was pissing me off. It looked like I would just have to endure this drive until I reached the freaking mall.

"FINALLY, you guys get the hell out of my hummer. Follow me closely, don't kill anyone while you're here! I'm having enough of a migraine!" I screamed, as coolly as I could but with the morning proceeding like that, it was going to be difficult to keep my cool.

When I finally managed to round the idiots up, Alex and the others were already waiting outside the department store. An awkward silence hung in the air. I grabbed a cart, ordered Hidan to push it, grabbed another cart and ordered Deidara to cart Tobi around. He death-glared at me before obediently following my advice. They probably got some orders from Pain. Alex, Felix and I then began our adventure into the department store.

Alex

So the first thing we set to buying was jeans. No special designs. Just normal fucking jeans that would fit them. I grabbed two pairs of the largest jeans I could find and inspected it. It appeared to be just nice for Kisame. Thank you to all obese people who shop here. You guys are fucking awesome. I pulled the closest Akatsuki, Sasori and demanded that he find pants for everyone and immediately left the increasingly pissed puppeteer to his own devices. I grabbed Hidan and pulled him toward the t-shirt rack. Seeing as Hidan was the most regularly sized man in the Akatsuki so I figured I'd use him as model.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT WITH ME BITCH!" He screamed at me. At this point of time, I could see the amount of people gathering to share words about the show they were getting. I gritted my teeth and seethed, "Shut up!" Hidan, feeling the killer intent, merely sneered at me; sure I wouldn't do anything to him. I fumbled through my pockets and grabbed something small and circular. I pulled it out. Duct tape. It was then, that Hidan began to be a little nervous. I pulled the roll open and tore a piece out and stuck it squarely on Hidan's mouth.

"Mm mm-hmmm-MH." Hidan struggled against the duct tape that I had used on his hands but it was useless even for a ninja. I had used the entire 40 meter roll of tape to wind around his wrists. I grinned victoriously as I began to pick out shirts for each of the Akatsuki.

Felix

I was tasked with the most embarrassing duty out of the three of us; Underwear shopping. Itachi was following me like a lost kitten and I could hear Deidara and Tobi bickering like a couple. My face was totally flushed as I asked Itachi a very, very, embarrassing question.

"Itachi-san, what… what size should I buy for you guys?" I could feel myself heat up even more when my mind wandered to the situation in the morning. Itachi stared the two packages in my hands and pointed at the one I was holding with my right hand. I placed 9 boxes of it in my basket before I muttered a quick thank you to Itachi. He merely nodded and continued to shadow me. I went to pay for it and asked Itachi to lead Deidara and Tobi outside to return the cart. A ways away, I spotted Bec relaxing by the fountain as I left with my receipt.

I led the boys to the fountain where I greeted Bec. She looked at Tobi with disgust clearly written on her face. I could see her visually planting her hands firmly onto Tobi's neck and squeezing hard. I muttered a thank you when she understood my leaving the boys with her and barked a goodbye. Nerve-wrenchingly, Itachi still continued to shadow me. And I was getting even more flustered as he matched my stride perfectly.

The moment I entered 'Crossroads', however, my troubles were thrown away. Much cliché present there. I held the featured book like a baby and read its synopsis. Within minutes, I had lost myself completely in the world of make-believe.

"You like reading?" Itachi whispered. I almost didn't dare to believe that he was talking to me.

"Ah… Ah… yes I do like reading." I answered, beaming slightly. I walked between the shelves of the bookstore and held one out to Itachi.

"This is my favorite." Itachi read its title and synopsis and returned the book to me. He followed suit and pulled a dusty book from the shelf and passed it to me. The book seemed like a book about brotherly love and sacrifice. I looked up, smiling sadly.

"You know then?" Itachi breathed. I nodded, feeling like had violated his private life. "It's ok. Why don't you tell me about the other books?"

Like a child starved for attention, I went to find more of the books that I like to show to Itachi.

Itachi

As I saw her move to get a book from a higher shelf, I gracefully lifted the book off the shelf and placed it gently in the girl's hands. Within the short half a day we had spent together, I had somehow developed an attachm- No. I couldn't. Pain's orders. But she seemed so much like Sasuke. She… She… didn't deserve the eventual separation when we went back home. She didn't deserve to feel the pain of losing something important.

But, somehow, I still felt myself holding onto her like she was my lifeline. As she went back to search for more books to devour, I prayed that I would have the courage to do what was right. When the time came. At the moment, I would just enjoy her companionship.

-FIN-

Ok… I'm exhausted… BYE NOW! TOBI SENDS HIS THANKS BECAUSE TENEBRAE-CHAN JUST FELL ASLEEP! BUHBYE!
