WHASSUP PEOPLE! I know this is...REALLY late, about two months late in fact, but a lot of shit happened that kinda stopped me from writing...that is, I got stuck on the last few pages. This mental wall just APPEARED and no matter what I couldn't get past it, so I've slowly been adding to it when the wall subsided for a little while, and I managed to ease past the wall that way, but it was a very slow process, thus the late update. That, and I got distracted by these three totally awesome rps with a friend of mine, the first one, well it's a totally awesome rp, AND it contains the weirdest love hendecagon that I've ever known of, no doubt the same for everyone else XD
It's EXTREMELY confusing to write, so just go to my deviantART acc and look in the gallery for 'A weird love hedecagon...' and there it is. Go now if you can, or you won't understand the next few paragraphs.
So, yeah, Deidara is so loved XD He's, to quote the person I'm doing this rp with exactly, 'the little black dress that goes with everything'.
All the angsty scenes and shit are hilarious XD Itachi has this whole breakdown thing going when he overhears Deidara confessing to Sasori, Kisame has this whole breakdown thing going when, about 10 minutes later, Deidara confesses his love to Itachi (oh and Itachi has a breakdown again too XD) What happens there is: Itachi gets over his second breakdown and some little kissy kissy mushy crap happens, Sasori comes out of his room and sees, he doesn't really mind, because he said that he didn't care about Deidara's decision, as long as he's happy. Then Kisame pops in and goes off at Itachi, thus the breakdown starts.
It's really quite amusing XD (And apparently Kisame is a schizophrenic in this rp, like Zetsu XD Thus the KisaDei and KisaIta, otherwise then it'd just be KisaIta...XD)
And the other rp is also amusing...'tis a cat rp, and I'm IN that one (as Fluffy, teh youngest kitten, and the youngest Uchiha, apparently XD) and my friend be our owner...yus, I said OUR...meaning, so far, the Akatsuki, Nagato and Sasuke. (Nagato and Pein are different people, or cats, in this rp, and each of Pein's 'bodies', or the different paths of whatever the jutsu he uses is called are basically brothers. So we have Nagato, who is anorexic, (Along with Deidara. Yeah, anorexic cats XD), Yahiko's body is the Pein we all know and love, and nothing is known so far about the 'brothers' XDD)
The third and final one is our best idea so far, I think. It's a high school AU rp, featuring Akatsuki + Sasuke, me as the Headmisterss' favourite, and my friend as the Headmistress XD I play me (duh), uber OOC Itachi, and OOC perverted Pein (cause perverted Pein is awesome) and mai friend plays herself and everyone else XDD So far we only have about a page of rping for this, but it's a page of awesomeness XD See, the boys wear skirts n stuff you'd usually find girls wearing at a school, and the girls wear the boys' stuff. 'Tis awesome so far XD
Anyway, enough about those, you guys might get to read them, cause I'm thinking about putting them up here XDD Especially the hendecagon rp, cause the world just NEEDS more OroTobi.
And also I've recently become addicted to songs sung by the Akatsuki voice actors (The Japanese voice actors, of course.) and at the moment my favourite singers are Dei, Sasori, Weasel, Zetsu and Tobi. Oh my love, by Weasel, is a beautiful song, I love it. Believe in Heaven and Sleepless Night are my favourite by Dei, they are totally made of awesome, and I've even taught myself to sing Believe in Heaven, that's how sad I am XD Shi No Jundo is my favourite by Zetsu, it's extremely addictive. My favourite by Tobi, the only one I can find by Tobi, is Villian ~Bad Blood~ And my favourite by Sasori? Well, all of them...8D I've also listened to songs by Hidan, and he's not bad. But, basically what I've been doing is trying to find songs by everyone in Akatsuki...I heard somewhere that they all have songs, 'cept for Kisame.
Sasori's singing...is seriously just over the top awesome...-asplodes from squealing too much- HE is most DEFINITELY the best singer in Akatsuki XD (Though it's quite close, Zetsu brings up a close second. A VERY CLOSE SECOND! Zetsu's VA's voice rapes my ears 8DD XD)
I should have said this in chapter 1, but I'll say it now, all you Mary-sue haters, Chiba and Sayuri are Mary-Sue, I know, and I don't give a crab's ass about what you think, kay? It's people like you who make some potentially awesome writers worry so much about characters being Mary-sue that they end up not writing at all. That's what I'd like to say. Oh and people who hate it when characters are OOC, deal with it, that's how I write. (Do crabs even have an ass...?)
AND YES I KNOW ITACHIXSAYU AND SASOXCHIBA IS BASICALLY PEDOPHILIA (especially in Sasori's case XD) BUT I DUN CARE CAUSE Y'KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF FICS OUT THERE THAT DO PEDOPHILE PAIRINGS 8D If you dun like it, dun read ^^
Hmmm...I do try not to use words such as 'got' or 'get' or 'then' (you get the idea) too often, so bear with me. I also need to stop using 'and' so much...GAH!
Well, at this moment in time, Sayuri and Chiba have more of a fangirly affection than love of Itachi and Sasori (OMJ SASORI -SQUEEE- X3) BUT, it does EVENTUALLY evolve into love. Well actually it's already on that path for Sayuri, but, Chiba? More likely to stay a fangirl. But it will evolve eventually for her...maybe XD (Hey, I can't help it, being a fangirl AGREES with me X3 Except...for the sake of the plot, we need some SasoXChiba...)
ALSO at this moment in time, we're still at the introductory chapters. Sucks, I know, but until Sayuri and Chiba are settled in and have trained (a lot) the plot really can't get moving. Yep, it sucks, and I honestly don't expect the plot to get moving until about chapter 10, because I just love randomness with the Akatsuki, so it's bound to happen. But I promise I won't drag it out much further than 10 before the plot gets moving. Then, the fun starts X3 I have some very interesting and angsty scenes prepared...except they rely on SasoXChiba and ItaXSayu. SO I HAVE TO GET THEM TOGETHER BY THEN! Eh, shouldn't be too hard, I have that special power authors have. THE POWER THAT IS MANIPULATION! I can make them do whatever I want...heh...heheh...GYAHAHAHA!!
And so, with my final evil laugh, we move on to chapter 3! Enjoy, my duckies!! -walks off singing- (I really gotta stop with the long A/Ns. I love to talk too much XD Though as the story progresses, the A/Ns will get shorter, I promise 8D)
"Talking."
Thinking. (Sometimes just exaggerating or putting stress on a word or words, or even something else, so be on a lookout for that.)
'Evil' Zetsu, Shukaku, Kyuubi, Inner Sakura.
Blah blah blah exaggeration in thinking blah blah.
'Animals talking.' (Cause at some point I WILL get animals to talk...that's how sad I am. Well actually it's kinda something to do with Chiba...and don't forget Akamaru! though of course only Kiba can understand him XD)

-X-X- (Time skip)
X-X-X (Same scene replayed, different POV)

"Well...it's going to need a lot of fixing up..." Chiba said, looking around her new, empty and badly in need of a new paint job room.
"You can't have expected it to be amazing, no one uses it." Konan shrugged.
"Ah well, doesn't matter! I need a bed though..." Chiba looked at Konan.
"We have some stuff stored in the basement, why don't you check there?" Konan suggested.
"Yeah, okay!" Chiba said as she ran out of the room.
Konan rolled her eyes. "3...2...1..."
Chiba appeared back in the doorway. "Uh...where's the basement door?" she asked with a small laugh.
Konan smiled in amusement. "Come one, I'll show you." She said, walking out of the room.
"Thanks again Konan!" Chiba said, following her.
-----
Itachi looked down at Sayuri, who was still hugging his arm, much to his annoyance. I can't believe I'll be sharing a room with this...fangirl! Even if she is kinda...dare I think it, cute...he mentally slapped himself. Stop it! I can't go around and start thinking about girls like that, especially not someone I just met! He looked at her again, and blushed slightly. Now I'm blushing?! He looked away. This girl is starting to get on my nerves...
Sayuri looked up at him. "Are you blushing?!" She asked in disbelief.
"Wh-What?! I don't blush!" Itachi's traitorous blush deepened.
"You're blushing! That's so cute!" Sayuri laughed. OOCness to the max!
Itachi's face reddened further. "Shut up..." He muttered.
"Okay, whatever you say!" Sayuri said, still laughing. "The great Itachi Uchiha, blushing!" Wait...does that mean he likes me...?
Itachi's eye twitched, his blush began to fade. Does she ever stop?! They stopped at a door with various 'Keep Out' signs stuck on it. "This is my room."
"Really? Awesome-o!" Sayuri burst through the door and looked around. "So this is what your room looks like!"
Itachi's room was very...black, with some red scattered through. The curtains that hung over the window were black, as was the carpet and even the walls. The ceiling was red, the wardrobe black with Akatsuki clouds painted on, the sheets on the bed the same. A red lamp sat on a, surprise surprise, black sidetable next to the bed. A black bookshelf full of scrolls and books sat in the corner.
"It's very...black." Sayuri said, drifting over to Itachi's bed and poking it.
"Don't like it?" Itachi asked, hoping that she didn't, and would move to a different room.
"Are you kidding? I love it!" Sayuri said, parting the curtains and looking through the window. A large full moon stared down at her. "It's night time already?" She asked in surprise.
"Hn..."
Sayuri looked from Itachi to Itachi's bed. "Uh..."
Itachi's eyes narrowed as he understood what Sayuri meant. "You're not sleeping in my bed with me...I'll go see if there's a spare in storage."
"...Kay...not that I would have minded sleeping in your bed with you..."
"No!" Itachi said forcefully as he walked out the door, shutting it behind him.
Sayuri sat down on Itachi's bed. "So soft..." She lay back and stared up at the ceiling. "This is going to be so much fun!" She said to herself, grinning.
-----
"Wow, this is the motherload!" Chiba exclaimed, looking around at all the furniture.
"Pick out a bed for now, we'll do the rest of the furniture later." Konan said, leaning casually against the wall and crossing her arms.
"Sweet!" Chiba ran up to a king single bed in the corner. "This is just like my bed at home!" Home...She stared at the bed sadly. I wonder how everyone's doing...Mum, Papa...hell, even my brother...I never thought I'd miss him of all people...and Tiger...wait a minute, Tiger touched the light too...! So does that mean...!? Oh well, I'll worry about it tomorrow... She sighed.
Konan noticed the sad look on the teen's face. "You okay?"
Chiba snapped out of her reverie and smiled at the bluenette. "Yeah, I'm fine! Just thinking about my family. I want this bed."
"Alright, I'll go ask one of the guys to come and help us bring it to your room." Konan said, walking to the door. Her family huh? She seemed pretty sad...probably misses them.
Before her hand touched the doorknob, the door swung open, Itachi behind it.
"Itachi, hi!" Chiba waved at him.
"Hn..." Itachi pushed past Konan, who glared at him. "I need a bed for Sayuri..."
"Why don't you just sleep together?" Chiba said innocently, looking at him with wide eyes that betrayed her innocent act.
"No!" Itachi glared at her.
Chiba rolled her eyes. "Whatevs. Hey, help bring my bed to my room? Please?"
He just stared at her blankly.
"Okay, I'll take that as a yes! Come on Konan, help too!" Chiba grabbed Itachi and Konan and dragged them over to the bed she wanted, Konan with a slightly amused look on her face, and Itachi not happy at all.
-X-X-
"Phew!" Chiba fanned herself with her hands. "That was hard work!"
Itachi shot her a glare. "You didn't even do anything..."
"Hey, most people don't realise it, but giving orders is hard work!!" Chiba insisted.
"Lifting a bed is harder." Itachi shot back.
"It should be easy for a ninja...I knew I should have just asked Fishboy for help! He'd be able to carry the bed with no problems!" Chiba threw her arms up into the air and looked up. "I make such bad decisions! Oh why Jashin-sama have you cursed me so?!"
Konan snorted, trying not to laugh. Itachi glared at Chiba in annoyance.
"Wait...Jashin-sama would more likely be down there, not up there..." Chiba said to herself, looking at the ground. "Oh well! Thanks for helping you two, go do your own thing now!" She pushed Konan and Itachi through the door and slammed it shut behind them.
"Well..." Konan drawled. "She's...spirited."
"Too spirited..." Itachi muttered.
"Anyway, see ya!" Konan began walking back to her room.
Itachi grabbed her cloak. "You're not going anywhere...Help me with Sayuri's bed."
"Why didn't you just ask?" Konan rolled her eyes, a smile threatening to break out.
Itachi's eye twitched. "Girls are all the same..."
-----
Sayuri glared at the pillow in annoyance. "What's taking him so long?! And I thought Kakashi was bad with time management...well he is, but that's besides the point..." She jumped off Itachi's bed and walked to the door. "I guess I'll just explore or something..." She opened the door and walked out into the hallway, leaving the door slightly open. "Hmm...where to...?"
She walked down the hallway, inspecting the bare grey walls. "This place is badly in need of some re-decorating..." She said to herself, poking some random cobweb.
"What are you up to?"
Sayuri jumped. "Don't scare me like that!" She turned to see Kisame, without Samehada for once. For such a big guy he moves pretty quietly...Oh God, dirty thoughts! She shook her head to rid herself of the mental images flashing through her head, and looked up at Kisame. "To answer your question, I'm exploring the place..." She poked the cobweb again. "Which, I might add, is badly in need of re-decoration. Or even just a new paint job would work."
Kisame laughed and scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, we don't really look after the place, so apart from our rooms, the kitchen, the loungeroom and the living room, it's either dusty, covered in cobwebs, boring or all three." He shrugged.
Sayuri narrowed her eyes. "I have a big job then..."
"What?"
"I'm not going to live in a place that's this boring, dusty and covered in cobwebs! This place needs to be re-decorated, and I, with everyone's help of course, am going to do it, seeing as no on else will!" Sayuri turned her chin up proudly.
"Uh-huh. Sure, whatever. I'm going to bed, that stupid jutsu took a lot out of even me, no doubt the others probably have it worse off." Kisame yawned.
"Itachi still hasn't brought my bed back, so I can't." Sayuri sighed.
"SAYURI!!" An angry yell echoed through the hallway.
"Okay...that sounded like Itachi. 'Night Kisame!" Sayuri starting walking back to Itachi's room.
"'Night." Kisame yawned again. That jutsu took more out of me than I'd thought... He drifted back to his room.
-----
"I don't believe this..." Itachi muttered angrily. "Not only are we stuck here holding this bed until someone opens the door completely for us, but she left the door open!"
Konan rolled her eyes. "I don't see what your problem is, who cares if your door is open?"
"I do! It's an open invitation to Tobi or Deidara, and I don't want them in my room! They'd destroy it!" Itachi glared at the door for lack of Sayuri to glare at.
"I see your point..."
"Itachi! What's up?" Sayuri said brightly, walking up to said person.
"Barely holding up your bed. Open the door." Itachi assumed his usual stoic expression.
"Right." Sayuri opened the door the rest of the way.
Itachi backed into his room, holding up soon-to-be-Sayuri's bed. Konan followed, holding up the bed from the other side. They placed it under the window, at Sayuri's request.
Konan looked around. "So this is what your room looks like." She mused. "Not really what I'd expected...it's very...black."
Itachi glared at her in annoyance. "What did you expect? Frilly pink lace and bunnies? Get out of my room..."
"Fine, spoilsport...can't take a joke..." Konan muttered as she left the room, closing the door behind her.
Sayuri threw herself onto her new bed. "Yay! time to sleep!"
Itachi rolled his eyes. "Put some sheets on the bed first, idiot." He walked to his wardrobe and opened it.
"I am not an idiot!" Sayuri glared at him, then pouted.
"Yeah, yeah..." Itachi threw some spare sheets he had found in the wardrobe. "Go to sleep."
"I will!" Sayuri yawned and neatly made her bed. "Hey, Itachi?" She sat on the edge of her bed and began unlacing her boots. "Do you have any spare clothes I can use?"
"Why?"
Sayuri gestured at the corset and skirt she was wearing. "A bit uncomfortable to sleep in, don't you think?"
"Hn..." Itachi dug through his wardrobe again and pulled out a black T-shirt and shorts. "You can use these..." He threw them at Sayuri.
"Thanks!" Sayuri grabbed the clothes, walked into the bathroom and locked the door behind her.
Itachi sighed. She'll probably hog the bathroom in the morning...He took off his cloak, revealing the fishnet shirt and black 3-quarter pants he had worn underneath, and threw it onto the chair sitting next to his wardrobe. He stretched his arms above his head and yawned. "Stupid jutsu...what a waste of chakra..." He muttered to himself. Sitting on the edge of his bed he pulled off his black ninja sandals and threw them under the chair. Stretching and yawning again, he lay back on his bed and stared up at the ceiling. All that damn jutsu accomplished was giving us two annoying girls to look after...and depleting our chakra... if we were attacked now, we'd be helpless...
The bathroom door opened. "Either you're skinnier than I'd thought, or I'm fatter than I'd thought, because your shirt actually fits me. Then again, I am wider around the chest area..." Sayuri walked over to Itachi and poked him. "You awake?" She examined him. "Damn, you are skinny!"
Itachi turned his head and glared at Sayuri. "Yes, I'm awake. Now go to sleep."
"Jeez, I am! 'Night Itachi." Sayuri walked over to her bed and pulled back the sheets she had oh-so-neatly laid on the bed not five minutes ago. She sat on the edge of the bed and stretched, before lying down, pulling up the sheets and snuggling into her pillow.
-X-X-
Sayuri sat up and sleepily rubbed her eyes. "Bathroom..." She slowly and reluctantly left the warmth of her bed and drifted into the bathroom.
-X-X-
The flushing toilet sounded eerily loud in the silence to Sayuri. She drifted back into Itachi's room and felt her way through the darkness to the nearest bed. She crawled into the sheets and snuggled into the warm body beside her.
-X-X-
Itachi woke to find someone snuggled into his chest with their arms wrapped around his waist. He looked down to see a mop of black hair. What...? He attempted to rub the sleep out of his eyes and pulled away from the girl hugging his waist. Her grip tightened and she mumbled something intelligible. Itachi's brain finally decided to wake up, and he realised just who was hugging him...in his bed...
Itachi's face burned, he struggled to free himself from Sayuri's iron grip. Giving up, he decided to just wake her. Waiting a few minutes for his blush to fade, he woke the girl with a sharp poke to her forehead, a habit he had retained since living in Konoha.
"GAH!" Sayuri yelped, her eyes shot open. She looked up and met Itachi's blank stare with confused eyes. As she realised their position, she blushed furiously. "Ah...S-Sorry I-Itachi!" She stuttered as she quickly withdrew her arms from around his waist.
"Hn...whatever..." Itachi calmly got out of bed and walked into the bathroom, his mind reeling. What the hell!? He instinctively pulled off his shirt, staring blankly at his reflection in the mirror. Why do I keep blushing like that? He tugged off his hair tie, letting his hair hang loosely around his shoulders. Gripping the edge of the sink, he stared down at the drain, strands of hair falling to frame his face. He took a few deep breaths to calm himself. It's nothing. It must be nothing. A perfectly normal reaction. I mean...I haven't been near a girl for years...apart from Konan. Waking up with one hugging me in my bed and blushing like that...it's...perfectly normal... He repeated the phrase under his breath, even though he knew that it wasn't true.
Shaking his head, Itachi released the poor sink and flexed his stiff fingers. Stripping off his pants and boxers, he stepped into the shower and turned on the water. Adjusting it to a temperature he liked, he closed his eyes and allowed the hot water to relax him. For now, at least, he would forget about the problem that is Sayuri, and enjoy a few minutes of heavenly peace.
-----
Sayuri burrowed her face into Itachi's pillow, breathing in the Itachi scent...was that strawberry? And mango? She choked back a laugh and thought back to a few minutes before. I can't believe what happened...She blushed. What I don't remember is actually getting into that position...did I sleep walk? Closing her eyes, she tried to remember the night before. Well...I remember going to the toilet...and I don't think I particularly payed attention to which bed I was crawling into...Ugh! It's all so fuzzy... Sighing, she opened her eyes and rolled over to stare at the ceiling. "...Why am I still on Itachi's bed...?" She wondered. She quickly jumped off the Uchiha's bed in alarm, somehow tripping in the process and ending up tangled with the sheets. Muttering something about cursed sheets and laughing beds, she untangled herself and stood, stretching her arms above her head. "That was a good night's sleep though...and he was so warm..." She blushed at the dirty thought complete with a mental image that popped into her head. "Oh God, ew ew ew ew!"
She spent the next twenty minutes in boredom, occasionally going through Itachi's stuff while waiting for Itachi to finish his shower. She was currently sitting on her bed, glaring at the bathroom door impatiently. "What the hell is taking him so long?!" She muttered to herself. "Seriously, what is he, a girl?! I am a girl and I take nowhere near as long as he does...weird-ass guy..." Sighing, she fiddled with the hem of her shirt - no, Itachi's shirt. She smiled. Heh...Itachi's shirt...The smile widened as the sound of running water abruptly cut off. Finally!
The bathroom door opened, revealing a slightly annoyed Itachi with nothing but a towel around his waist, his damp hair sticking to his shoulders and back. "Sayuri...get out." He glared at aforementioned girl, who, not surprisingly, could not keep her eyes off him. Half naked hot guy, covered in water, wearing nothing but a towel...who wouldn't look?
"Huh...? Wh-what?" Sayuri snapped out her daze and looked up at Itachi's annoyed face, blushing furiously.
"Get out, I need to get dressed." Itachi stated coldly, glaring at the girl.
"O-Oh...right..." Sayuri shook her head to clear it of the many images of Itachi naked and doing various things that many are better off not knowing. Her blush deepened as the images flashed by, one by one, through her mind. "I-I'll just...take a shower then..." She said, rising and making her way to the bathroom, careful to avoid looking at Itachi.
Itachi shook his head and sighed. She's a pervert...great. He had noticed the way she stared at him, and not only that, but the way she acted suggested that she was having inappropriate thoughts. Why God, have you cursed me so?
-X-X-
Sayuri expertly tucked the ends of the bed sheets under the mattress, carefully avoiding looking at Itachi, who was doing the same. For some reason her mind had conjured up a new image, this time of Itachi naked, and pole-dancing on ice. She shook her head in a futile attempt to get rid of the image, as more simply rose to take it's place.
God dammit! It's Yamada all over again! She sighed and pointlessly glared at the oblivious Uchiha, which only served to bring up more images. AAHHH! She mentally screamed, keeping a calm expression as she mentally spazzed over the images her overactive imagination had created. I can't take this anymore...my mind has had enough of these images, an innocent (1) girl can only handle so much! "Oi, Itachi..."
Said person looked up from making his own bed. "What?"
"I'm going to check up on Chiba, can you finish my bed for me? And where's her room?"
"Top floor, it's the room with the beat up door...and n-"
"Thanks Itachi!" Sayuri interrupted. "Oh, and you rhymed!" She snort-giggled. (2)
Itachi stared at her blankly for a few seconds. "...Right..."
"Oh well, whatevs. Anyway, see ya Weasel!"
Itachi twitched at the weasel comment and glared at Sayuri's retreating back. What were my parents thinking when they named me that?! 'Oh, let's name our son weasel so that he can be the subject of people's torture!' God...Hey...wait a minute...
"I AM NOT MAKING YOUR BED!!"
----
Sayuri laughed as she heard Itachi's yell. "Wow, that's so OOC." She slowly made her way upstairs, pausing at every room she passed and trying to guess who they belonged to.
Okay well...judging by the dollar signs all over that door, that would be Kakuzu's room...She snapped out of her reverie as she collided with something hard and went sprawling all over the floor with a yelp. "What the...?!"
"Sorry about that." Sayuri looked up from her spot on the floor to see Kisame sporting an embarrassed grin. She took the offered hand and pulled herself up. "We seem to be running into each other a lot."
"Literally, this time." Sayuri laughed and rubbed her head with a wince. "Ow...your chest is like a fucking brick wall!"
"Sorry again." Kisame laughed. "Where are you headed?"
"To check up on Chiba. If I don't drag her out of bed, she'll stay there all day." Sayuri rolled her eyes. "Her excuse every time is 'The bed is warm!'"
Kisame laughed. "Wow, she's...different."
"Yeah, she's not exactly what you'd expect from a girl her age, is she? She's weird. You'd think at 13 you'd be more interested in your figure, boys, what the heck you're wearing, things like that. Have you seen her clothes? And she couldn't give a crap about guys, nor her looks."
"...Wow, she is weird."
"But the good thing about being friends with a weird person is that you gain a few new and different perspectives on life, I guess."
"...Interesting...She seems fairly happy-go-lucky too..."
"Nah, she's not, just really hyper. She can actually be serious, and actually isn't hyper all the time. She can be near Itachi serious even. Scary, I know."
Kisame shuddered. "The last thing we need is another Itachi...two serious people with no sense of humour padding around? We don't need that."
"Eh, don't worry, it's pretty rare, she's generally just plain weird." Sayuri shrugged. "But that's what makes her unique." She stretched her arms above her head. "I should probably go and drag her out of bed and force her to shower now...talk to ya later, Kisame."
"Well, make it quick, breakfast goes fast on Mondays."
"It's Monday?" But it was Friday (3) when we came here...wasn't it? Maybe there's a time difference or something between our worlds... She shook her head. "Never mind that...why?"
"Monday is Konan's day to cook, and she's the only one who actually knows how to cook a decent meal. The rest of us are hopeless. We burn water."
"...Burn water...? Chiba says that about her Dad...but...anyway...TER-RI-BLE!" Sayuri scolded. "Forget re-decorating, you all need to learn how to cook!" She shook her head sadly. "How oh how have you survived until now? Well, never mind. again, talk to ya later." She waved at Kisame and skipped past him. "Bye!"
"Yeah..." He smiled in amusement as Sayuri skipped up the stairs. Looks like the hideout is going to be a little livelier now...eh, we need the change.
-----
Sayuri smirked as she slowly opened the battered door and peeked into Chiba's room at said girl snoozing half on half off the bed, the sheets forming a cocoon around her, mouth slightly open, emitting soft snores. "Oh Chiba, you're so typical..." She snuck into the room and up to the bed, took a deep breath...
"THE BRITISH ARE COMING!" (4)
"AHHH!" Chiba flailed and fell off the bed with a yelp. "QUICK, READY THE BARBEQUES...! Wait...what...?" She sat up, hair a mess, part of her fringe forming a small cow-lick, and, with half-lidded eyes, looked at Sayuri, who couldn't help but laugh. "Whasso funneh....?"
"Y...You are...!" Sayuri soon calmed down and made a grab for Chiba, who had been crawling back onto the bed. "No. Off, shower, now!"
"You sound like my mum..." Chiba muttered, glaring at Sayuri.
"Well isn't that interesting. NOW VAMOOSE! To the bathroom, shower now!" Sayuri pushed Chiba off the bed and ignored the squeak of protest from her friend.
"But I don't wanna have a showerrrr..." Chiba whined, ears drooping as she looked up at Sayuri with her best puppy-dog eyes.
"The sooner and quicker your shower is, the sooner you get breakfast!"
"...Well...now that you mention it, I am pretty hungry..." Chiba's stomach growled at that moment, backing up her statement. "I think I'll just go down and eat something..." She cowered under Sayuri's threatening glare, then sighed. "Alright, fine! Shower first, breakfast later..."
Sayuri smiled and pet Chiba on the head as though she was praising a dog. "Good girl!!" She ignored the resulting glare sent in her direction and turned to head back out. "See you in half an hour!" Has anyone mentioned yet that Chiba takes really long showers?
"Yeah yeah..." Chiba flapped her hand at Sayuri. "Go, enjoy your meal while I suffer from starvation..."
Sayuri sopped at the doorway, turned her head to look over her shoulder back at Chiba and grinned. "You won't die if you're late for one meal!"
"...But we didn't have dinner, so technically that's two meals..."
"...That made no sense, you realise that, right? Well, enjoy your shower!" Sayuri left the room, congratulating herself on a job well done. "Next time, I'll try and get her to do some chores..." She chuckled evilly. "Watch out...dear Chiba..."
Back in Chiba's somehow fully stocked bathroom (5), she sneezed. "Someone must be talking about me..." She sneezed again. "It looks like they're plotting something evil, no doubt..." (6)
-----
Sayuri burst into the living room, where currently five of the Akatsuki members (7) were seated, eating breakfast. "Whassup people!" She yelled, gaining a few strange looks.
"So, then you managed to get Chiba out of bed?" Kisame asked.
"Yup! And it was a lot easier to get her to shower than usual!" She skipped up behind Deidara, peering down at his breakfast. "Ramen? For breakfast?" She walked around the table, studying each bowl of ramen with a critical eye. "You're all having ramen for breakfast? No, just NO!" More strange looks. "You need a healthy, energising breakfast, not...ramen!" She shook her head then facepalmed. "I need to fix this..." Ignoring the ever increasing strange looks she was receiving, she walked into the kitchen to see what she could possibly find that might provide a healthy breakfast, stopping in shock as she noticed the instant ramen cups littered across the bench.
"Instant ramen?" She facepalmed again. "Kisame, are you serious?!" She yelled, her voice slightly muffled by her hand, still covering her face. "I thought you said Konan was cooking, and that she's a good cook! But instant ramen?!"
"Oh, Pein sent her on a mission early this morning, and in my defence, I didn't know that when I was talking to you before!" Kisame yelled at her from the living room.
She sighed. "Learn to cook, or hire a maid, or something!" She yelled back. "Oh well, instant ramen for today..." She muttered, fixing herself some ramen of her own. She sauntered into the living room, and took a seat next to Itachi, who had beaten her downstairs. "Until you do either of those things, I'm cooking, alright?"
A few disturbed looks were sent her way. "Try not to poison us..." Deidara muttered. (8)
"Excuse me?" Sayuri gave him a way-too-sweet smile. "Did you say something?"
"N-No..." Deidara cowered under her gaze. Sure, he might not have anything to fear from a fangirl, but some experiences with a PMSing Konan had him fearing women in general for life.
"Good, or else I may have had to hurt you~!" She said cheerfully.
All men (or teenager, in Deidara's case) at the table unconsciously shivered.
Breakfast, surprisingly, passed mostly in silence, except for a few disturbances when first Hidan, then Tobi and finally Chiba entered the room. Loudly. Pein had remained in his study, doing only-God-knows what, Konan was away on a mission, as is known by now, and no one really wanted to know where Zetsu was. Everyone eventually drifted off to do their own thing, while Sayuri and Chiba remained behind, having been made to clear the table and wash the dishes. They, of course, did not do this in silence.
"So, Sayuri..." Chiba started. "Anything interesting happen last night?" She smirked as a faint blush tinged Sayuri's cheeks a light pink.
"N-No! Nothing h-happened!" Sayuri stuttered, turning her back on her smirking friend.
"Your blush says otherwise!" Chiba giggled. "Come on, tell, what happened?"
"Oh well fine...I don't actually really know exactly what happened, really..." She placed the last of the bowls in the sink. "But I think it might have been when I woke up to go to the bathroom, but I was half asleep at the time so I don't really remember what happened-"
"You're blabbering! Get to the point woman!" Chiba interrupted.
"Right, right, sorry, to the point then. Well I think I might have accidentally-" Chiba snorted and muttered something along the lines of 'As if...' "-crawled into Itachi's bed last night... and..." She scratched the back of her head in embarrassment, her blush deepening. "...I…uhh...kinda woke up cuddling with him and...um...some other stuff and...yeah..." She trailed off, her face now a deep scarlet.
"Awwwwwwwwwww, you guys are so cute!" Chiba squealed. "Seriously, you two make the perfect, most adorable couple~!"
"We are not a couple!" Sayuri turned her back on Chiba and began washing the bowls, to hide her still somehow deepening blush.
"Will be, for sure." Chiba crossed her arms, closed her eyes and nodded a few times. "Most definitely."
"Chiba, he's a friggin' anime character, I can't be his girlfriend or anything, you idiot..."
"EXACTLY! He's an anime character! That's why you should enjoy your time here while you can, whether it's some fudged up dream, or some weird alternate reality game thing, or even if we did somehow magically transport to the Naruto world, enjoy it, while the opportunity is there. As an example, look at me, I didn't enjoy my childhood like I should have, while I had the chance, and now I'm a wreck, a computer-holic, and both way too mature for my age and too childish for my age. I'm honestly surprised I'm not friggin bipolar and arguing with myself like Zetsu or some shit like that. Back to the subject though...I regret what I did. Don't you do the same thing that I did now. Never make that mistake, trust me, the aftermath is not fun." She went to leave the room, and stopped at the doorway. "Trust me Sayuri, enjoy your life while you can, and take the opportunity...the regret is not a fun burden to bear..." She left, ears and tail both drooping slightly.
"Chiba..." Sayuri frowned and sighed. "I guess you're right, for once...I probably should enjoy it while I can..."
-----
...That actually ended up being a lot longer than I'd planned. Oh well. AND YAY DEPRESSING ENDING...-sighs- really, that regret really isn't fun to bear. I let my mum control me, and never got to enjoy my life. It sucks. I AM a wreck now, my parents blame it on me, I blame it on them (though I don't tell them that, I just keep quiet during lectures.) Yeah, take it from someone who's had the experience, you should enjoy your life, and take opportunities while you can, they won't be there nor last forever. The enjoyment too.
So, let's get off this depressing topic now, and discuss other things ^^
First off, I'm gonna explain a bit about the way I write the Akatsuki in this fic, in case any of you are confused. Kisame, I've always thought that he'd be a pretty nice guy, kinda fatherly (Y'know, gentle giant and all that crap. In which case that would make him a whale shark XD Yes, I know I'm weird XD), yet a little too obsessed with fighting XD Itachi...well no one really knows what goes on in his head, for all you know he could be like Tobi on the inside. So anyway I don't think of him as an emotionless bastard that barely talks, I think he'd at least talk, just a little less that what most people would, and of course he actually does show emotion, sometimes. And in his mind, anything goes, so prepare for some randomness. Sasori, impatient, especially with Deidara, yet really nice, and quiet, and a good listener. Deidara, a bit childish, friendly, laid back and maybe a tad girly (It agrees with his looks at any rate XD). Tobi...he needs no explaining, childish, hyper, friendly, playful, come on, who doesn't see him that way? (But of course MADARA is under all that...lil' evil plotting Madara. XD) Pein...meh...Konan, generally nice, sometimes a bit mean to the guys, a blackmailer, a bit anti-social and quiet at times, a little bit controlling. (And thankful for some female company now XD) Kakuzu...well, money obsessed...he's another 'meh'. Hidan, loud, rude, kinda over-obsessed with Jashin (Uh, duh.) yet under it all, somewhat nice. (Not that he shows it XD He'd be a typical tough-acting guy.) Zetsu...well, split personality XD 'White' side, 'Good' side, whatever you call it, nice, friendly, polite. And of course his 'Black' side, the 'Evil' side, is the COMPLETE opposite. (And they argue...A...LOT...) And I've always thought as most of the guys to be perverts, even if only slightly. (Most meaning Kisame, Hidan, Deidara, Kakuzu and Pein.)
And at Emi's request, Itachi will, later on, be a pervert. And think dirty. And be dirty in general. So he'll be extremely OOC later.
So...yeah. Anywaiz if you don't like OOCness then this is most DEFINITELY not the fic for you ^^
Itachi's in denial about his love!! Isn't that adorable?!
AND ITACHI IS A BOXER GUY -gasps- I almost died from the mental image writing that scene. Itachi in the shower? Pure hotness. (And then again, I always make the guys boxer guys...it's like...a thing...or something...XD)
Oh and Emi, I know you're going to read this at some point! (Duh, I told you to do so .) So...'pole dancing naked on ice'. Sound familiar? -coughPENIScough- (To the rest of you, this is just a major inside joke between me and the person who is Sayuri in this fic...and there's no way in hell you'll get it, so don't try 8D)
And Emi, please, don't threaten me again or I will personally hit you with my black fabric Samehada ^^ ('Nother inside joke everyone, again, you won't get it even if you try ^^) Yes, Emi, I will even BUY a roll of black fabric to do so ^^ Actually, no...not really. I'mma go ahead and chuck a Kakuzu here, and say it would just be too expensive and a waste of money to buy a roll of black fabric to hit you. XD And why buy a roll of fabric and waste money, when I can use my pencil case? XD
...Then again, I could always go for a funnier, more torturous route...-ahem- PENIS! Except that doesn't work anymore...-sigh- What a shame...
And btw guys, updates will no longer have deadlines, but I will try not to let the time between updates stretch any further than a month. No guarantees though.
NOTES/COMMENTS:
(1) -cough- 'Innocent' indeed...(SO NOT!)
(2) Snort-giggle is the name I gave to this weird sort of thing I do when I giggle and snort at the same time. It sounds REALLY weird. No, it's not like when someone laughs and snorts sometimes during their laugh. This is both together at the same time XD
(3) The day that Chiba and Sayuri encountered the 'light' that brought them to the Naruto world, aka the day the came home from school together, was a Friday. They stayed at the base for a day and a night, and as Kisame mentioned, it was Monday morning, suggesting a time difference of about two days ^^
(4) Inside joke. MAJOR inside joke. (Inside joke with Sam, Emi!)
(5) Tobi stocked the bathroom beforehand, because he's a good boy.
(6) I'm sure everyone has heard the myth about how when you sneeze, someone is talking about ya. Well this is part of that myth, though not as well known, I think. If you sneeze twice, someone is plotting to harm you in some way ^^
(7) Kakuzu, Kisame, Itachi, Deidara, Sasori.
(8) lol, nah, Emi is actually a pretty good cook (from what I saw when we did cooking as part of our course in Tech last year) but I had to do this XD
