Chapter 10 Chibi in a Box

What to do with a nerd

June's POV

"Ashton," I groaned, "at least try. I've been bored this whole game. It's not even fun when I've beat you 32 times in a row within two minutes or less."

"I'm sorry June, I don't know, you're just, too smart," Ashton sighed. "I have trouble playing chess against Serenity and you want to play chess with me without looking at the board."

"It's easy, just picture it in your head," I groaned. "June, it's hard for me. Let's play something else," she suggested.

"Fine let's play meter," I suggested. "Nooooo! I hate that game!" she complained.

"What's meter?" Itachi asked. "Meter is the best game. You pick an item and I have to guess how long it is in meters. I used to play this all the time when I was little and I still do when I bored."

"June can we play another game?" Ashton asked taking off her hat to run her fingers through her hair.

"Fine, let's do riddles than," I decided.

"Okay, what walks on four legs in the-" "People," I interrupted.

"Ugh, there's an all blue house, what-" "There are no blue stairs because there are no stairs."

"I have a riddle," Itachi spoke. "Really? What is it?" I asked.

"You will always find me in the past, I can be created in the present and the future can never taint me," Itachi said slowly.

"It's not that hard. The answer is history," I laughed. "I'm gonna leave, I'll let you nerds hang out."

"Okay. How about this one. I can only live where light exist but if it shines directly on me I will die. What am I?" he asked.

"Shadow!" I sang. Itachi chuckled and sighed. "It seems you are in the mood to tests your knowledge. Why don't we play a game of chess then? Without looking at the board," he challenged.

"Yes, I'd love to, if you do not mind I'll go first," l laughed. "Pawn A2 to A3."

"Pawn C6 to C5," Itachi directed.

_ 1 hour and seven minutes _

"Queen H2 to B2," I directed, Itachi sighed as I said, "Checkmate."

"How are you nerds enjoying yourselves?" Ashton asked walking into the room.

"Ashton we're not nerds we are just more intelligent beings," I sighed.

"Which are still nerds!" she yelled throwing her hand in the air. "Did I hear someone say nerd?" a familiar voice sang.

Serenity came walking in the room with a smug look. "Nerd!" she yelled looking at me. "Nerd!" Ashton yelled.

"Nerds!" they yelled together. I groaned and shook my head.

"You two are so immature, instead of messing around do something to test your intelligence," I suggested.

"But that would mean, if we did that, we'd be nerds!" the two yelled. "You're so loud," I scolded"

"Ahhh!" Serenity yelled. "I swear I'll-" "Ahhhh!" she screamed again.

Itachi coughed loudly and glared at Serenity. "Serenity, Ashton. Keep it down," he commanded.

"Why should I weasel boy?" Ashton taunted. Itachi disappeared from next to mean and appeared next to Ashton.

"What was that?" he asked her. "I said, why should I weasel, boy," she growled. Ashton hit the ground with a loud thud.

Her head smacked the ground quickly and her legs flew up behind her. "Would you repeat that one more time?" Itachi asked.

"You know how Itachi knows how to do that?" Serenity asked. Everyone stayed quiet and stared at her. "Because he's a nerd!"

Itachi and I sighed then shook our heads. "Serenity, go to your Danna and annoy him or something," I suggested.

"Okay nerd," she laughed skipping out of the room.

"I'm going to listen to you nerds talk," Ashton said sitting down.

"Your unintelligent mind will not be able to comprehend our punctual conversation," I deadpanned.

"Okay fine if you're so smart what is 37 x 21 off the top of your head?"

I sighed and shook my head. "Easy 777."

Ashton huffed angrily and tapped her foot. "What am I going to say next then?"

"Really?" I asked. She nodded her head and I sighed. "Nerd," I muttered looking away.

"What was that?" Ashton questioned. "Nerd," I said louder.

"That's right ya nerd!" Ashton yelled. "I'll show you how nerdy I am. Let me give you an anatomy lesson. The human body has a pressure point in the neck that will cut off circulation, I'll demonstrate," I offered.

"No thank you," she declined making her way out of the room. "No, no, I insist."

I lunged at her as she ran out of the room. I chased her around the house trying to catch up with her.

Her long legs may make her fast but I am too stubborn to give up.

"Save me!" she screamed as she ran from me.

She ran down the stairs quickly to the living room.

I shook my head as I ran after her swiftly. "Hidan save me!"

Ashton latched onto Hidan and used him as a shield.

"Ashton don't use Hidan as a shield, it won't help," I growled walking up to Hidan.

"What are you doing shorty?" Hidan asked crossing his arms.

I clenched my fists together and looked up at him.

"I'm not short," I growled. "Sure you aren't you-" Ashton leaned over to him and whispered something in his ear.

"You nerd," he smirked with a smug look.

"At least I have a brain, unlike you idiot," I growled.

"At least I have muscles unlike you!" Hidan yelled glaring down at me.

"Fine let's put it to the test, brains vs. bronze!" I challenged crossing my arms.

"Nerds vs. muscle!" Ashton yelled pumping her fists in the air.

"Let's play capture the flag then," Serenity giggled.

"Okay, I get Itachi, Kakuzu, Sasori, and Konan. You get Serenity, Ashton, Kisame, and Deidara," I explained.

"Why am I getting dragged into this?" Sasori asked grumpily.

"Just shut up puppet boy," I snapped glaring at him.

"What am I getting out of this?" Kakuzu asked looking at me.

"50 bucks!" Ashton yelled. "I'm fine with that."

"So what are we going to use as the flags?" Serenity asked jumping excitement.

"We can use people as the flags," Sasori suggested.

"Okay, you can be our flag," I demanded glaring at him.

"Seriously."

"Dei-chan can be our flag then," Hidan said teasingly.

"Fine meet me outside."

We stood outside on the patio staring each other down.

"We get ten minutes to prepare, jail in the front yard is the lamp posts, jail in the backyard is the apple tree," Ashton explained. "If you're tagged on the opposite side go to the other team's jail until your teammates tag you back in. Once you've captured your flag, bring him back to your jail."

"We're also playing tackle, not tag," Serenity commented. Ugh, I hate tackle. I can't take them down for the life of me.

"We get the front yard and you get the back, sound fair?" I asked crossing my arms.

"Sure, sure, whatever, I don't really care as long as we win," Hidan muttered.

"Ready?" I asked. "Yup," Serenity chirped.

"Go!" Ashton yelled. I saw Hidan and his team sprint further into the backyard as we ran to the front yard.

"Where are we hiding Sasori?" Konan asked.

"I don't know, we should hide him where we can see him easily but the others can't," I pondered.

"Hide him in the ditch," Kakuzu suggested.

"That'll be good," I laughed.

"No," Sasori denied walking away, "no, no, no, no."

"Oh yes," Kakuzu demanded, "I want my money."

Kakuzu's threads came out and wrapped around Sasori.

"Put me down Kakuzu!" Sasori yelled. "No."

Kakuzu stuffed Sasori into the ditch harshly.

"No, get me out!" Sasori yelled, squirming in the ditch. "Stay in there or else," Kakuzu growled. Sasori stopped struggling and sighed.

"NO, PUT HIM ON THE ROOF! THERE IS NO WAY THEY'LL LOOK THERE!" Hidan shouted from the other side of the house.

"NO, PUT HIM IN THE SHED!" Ashton yelled.

"GUYS, DON'T FIGHT HIDE HIM BEHIND THAT TREE!" Serenity shouted.

"GREAT IDEA!" Kisame yelled.

I sighed and shook my head.

"I've been thinking," Itachi interrupted, "I already know where Deidara might be."

Everyone was immediately on him. He kept his voice low and whispered it to everyone.

"Well, of course, Deidara would be there, but how are we going to get him. I'm physically weaker than Serenity and Ashton," I commented.

"I can go head to head with Hidan," Kakuzu decided. "But they'll be expecting that, plus they have Deidara on their team. The blond would figure out some dirty trick to play."

"We never said that we couldn't use any Jutsu," Konan added. My eyes widened in realization.

"Your right! I know exactly what to do!" I shouted with glee. "So here's the plan."

Serenity's POV

"No way I'm not going there hmm!" Deidara shouted. "Just get in the hole blonde, they won't suspect a thing if your quiet," Hidan assured.

"I know but-" "But, nothing get in," Kisame interrupted.

"It's okay Deidara, I'll make sure nothing happens to you," I assured.

"You better hmm," Deidara snapped.

"Now get in the hole and we'll cover it up!" Hidan yelled pointing at the dirt, hole in the ground.

"Fine yeah," Deidara muttered jumping into the hole.

Hidan covered up the hole in the ground and smirked.

"Now how are we going to make sure they don't come looking here?" Ashton asked.

"Just follow my lead," Hidan murmured walking in front of us. He took a deep breath and yelled, "NO, PUT HIM ON THE ROOF! THERE IS NO WAY THEY'LL LOOK THERE!"

'Oh, that's what he's doing,' I thought. Everyone else seemed to get the idea too.

"NO, PUT HIM IN THE SHED!" Ashton yelled.

"GUYS, DON'T FIGHT HIDE HIM BEHIND THAT TREE!" I shouted.

"GREAT IDEA!" Kisame yelled.

"You see, now they'll think we hid him behind the tree and not in the ground," Hidan smirked. "Great idea!" I complimented.

"So how are we going to do this?" Ashton asked. "What do you mean? We just go and not get caught, find Sasori and bring him back. Bam! We win," Hidan explained.

"Easier said than done," Kisame said. "They've got Itachi and he's pretty fast," Kisame added.

"Okay, Ashton and I will take June and whoever tries to get near Deidara," I said.

"I'll take Itachi, Hidan you can get Kakuzu," Kisame directed. "Then who'll take Konan?" Hidan asked crossing his arms.

"I can double, I'll make a clone, the clone can get her," Kisame commented making a water clone. "Cool!" I exclaimed. I gazed at the clone and poked it.

It's skin was cold but if you press it hard enough your finger will go right into it.

"Enough of that," I commented to myself.

"So when do we start?" Ashton asked stretching her long legs. "I don't know, I haven't been keeping track of the time."

"Crap," Hidan muttered. "Let's guess it," I suggested. "Well we can only have a minute or two left," Kisame commented.

"I guess," I muttered.

"Over here," June's voice sang. We whipped our heads around and saw June on our side. "Hey!" Ashton and I yelled. "It's time already!"

June rolled her eyes and walked towards us.

"Guess who! We can take care of June no problem! Go get the others!" Ashton yelled.

Kisame, Kisame clone, and Hidan ran off quickly to find the others.

June smiled and ran towards us.

"June, get ready. You're going down," Ashton laughed. They ran towards each other and ran into each other.

They pushed back and forth.

Suddenly Ashton started getting pushed back! June's not that strong!

"What steroids did you take in the last ten minutes?" Ashton asked losing her ground. I jumped in and tackled June.

Let me rephrase that, I jumped in and failed to tackle June. She let go of Ashton and sent her flinging while side stepping me.

"What is this?" I asked. June is not that strong or skilled physically.

June didn't say a word but shook her head.

"Why aren't you making any snarky comments?" Ashton asked getting back to her feet. June stayed silent and sighed.

"June! Did ninjas give special training?" I asked she looked as if she were thinking about her words and nodded her head.

Ashton readied her hand and put them near her chest. Her fist ball up and she widened her stance.

June ran towards her and Ashton threw a cork screw punch (A/N a punch thrown in a twisted motion)

June dodged that though and smiled.

Since when did June get this good?

3rd POV

Kisame ran towards the other side of the yard trying to spot Sasori.

"Where are you?" Kisame asked himself stopping by the porch.

Kisame scanned the area. Hidan was stopped by Kakuzu and June was sneaking to the other side of the yard.

But Ashton and Serenity had her, all that was left, was to spot Itachi and Konan.

Kisame glanced to his side and saw a flash of red. He turned the rest of his body to see Sasori running to the corner of the house.

Kisame smirked to himself and sprinted towards the red head. This was too easy.

Kisame was easily faster and stronger than Sasori. Plus, Kisame had an extra advantage, Sasori was still getting used to his new human body.

Sasori came to a halt and turned around.

"Hello Kisame," he greeted. "Hello Sasori, I'll be taking you back to our jail now."

"I'm afraid that won't be happening," Sasori replied. "So, you're going to try and tackle me, then put me in jail?" Kisame asked.

"That's the plan," Sasori replied running towards Kisame.

Sasori and Kisame clashed kunai harshly.

"I'm taking you with me," Kisame muttered. "I'm not so sure about that. Sharingan!"

"What, Sasori doesn't ha-" Kisame fell to the ground in mid-sentence, dropping his kunai.

Sasori smirked victoriously and a poof of smoke surrounded him.

In Sasori's place was Itachi dusting himself off.

"Now to assist Kakuzu," he murmured to himself walking towards the pair. Kisame was usually a more difficult opponent but he was not ready for Itachi's genjutsu. That was Kisame's mistake, underestimating Sasori

Hidan loved fighting Kakuzu. He finally got to show the old man that he wasn't some kid with no skill, but he hated fighting the Uchiha. He just always seemed to win!

That stupid Sharingan of his didn't make things fair, but Hidan has caused him wounds before. Catching the Uchiha in one of his rituals was exciting.

Kakuzu's thread shot out from him and grabbed Hidan's ankle then he pulled it towards himself.

Hidan hit the ground harshly, he lifted his head to glare at Kakuzu. Hidan was about to get up but he felt a hand touch his back and a cool metal press against his neck.

"Jail," Itachi commanded. Hidan grunted and got up to trudge to their jail.

"Stupid Uchiha, stupid Sharingan, stupid Itachi," Hidan grumbled to himself.

Now all that was left was to capture Serenity and Ashton or find Deidara.

In the mean time June was digging up Deidara, you may wonder about Serenity and Ashton at the moment.

Well, Konan used a transformation Jutsu to turn into June and fought Serenity and Ashton. While Konan distracted Ashton and Serenity, June dug up Deidara.

"Hello fellow blond," June greeted as she looked at Deidara in his hole.

"I knew this would happen yeah," Deidara sighed climbing out.

June smirked and lead Deidara to the other side of the yard.

"Well hello Hidan, I'm just here dropping off your flag. I believe we won," June smirked.

June's POV

I smirked as I walked to the other side of the yard to see Ashton and Serenity's face.

I smiled as Konan sidestepped Ashton then pushed Serenity away.

"This can't be June," Serenity huffed. Ashton nodded her head gasping for air. They both were dripping with sweat and breathing heavily while Konan stood tall calmly.

"You're right, that's not me," I said. Ashton and Serenity snapped their heads towards me, their jaws dropped to the floor.

"But, then, who's that?" Ashton asked with wide eyes. Konan dispelled the Jutsu and returned to her original looks.

"What! It was Konan?" Serenity gasped pointing at her. "Then where's Dei...dar...a, never mind," Ashton sighed looking over at the empty hole.

"So you won?" Ashton asked looking at me now. "Yup."

"Come on chibis, back inside! June's team won!" Serenity yelled loudly.

"What!" Kisame roared. "I was asleep the whole time!"

Serenity giggled at his tone and walked towards the house. "Great job my friend," Ashton complimented to Konan.

Konan blushed and smiled. "Thank you, it's not often I get to have this much fun," she laughed. Konan and Ashton laughed with each other as we walked inside the house.

"After you got up from my last defensive attack you put your arms to your chest. I've never seen a fighting style like that. The way you held yourself and punched. What is that?" Konan asked excitedly.

Ashton blushed and scratched the back of her neck. "Jeez Konan, you're giving me to much credit. It was just some boxing moves I picked up."

"Picked up!" Serenity shouted. "You studied it all for a year then went in the ring for awhile!"

"What were you doing?" Pein's voice interrupted.

Konan's face dropped from her bright smile and rested it in a passive look. "Forgive me Pein. I was joining Serenity, Ashton and June in a strategy game. Kisame, Deidara, Itachi, Hidan, Kakuzu, and Sasori accompanied us," Konan explained.

Pein crossed his arms and nodded his head. When he turned around Konan smiled again with relief.

"I'm sorry Serenity. Please continue with what you were saying," Konan apologized. "It's okay Konan, you don't have to apologize for someone else's grumpiness," Serenity giggled.

Konan just laughed as we did too.

Later that night

"Hello? Is anybody there?" Sasori called. "I'm still in the ditch!"

Sasori tapped his fingers on the ground with an annoyed look. His aurora smelled of death.

"I would get out but I just had to be stuck in this stupid ditch," he grumbled to himself. "Kakuzu had to stuff me in this ditch."

"I hate everything."

So what did you think? Honestly, I think Sasori was enjoying himself, note the sarcasm.

Till next time.
