1zara-uchiha1 and I don't own the Naruto cast or anything else you might recognize. 1zara-uchiha1 owns Laura and I own Kahlan. Together we own the plot.

Chapter 78

Note: The Uchiha have feelings… who knew?

~Laura's POV

That was god damn amazing! I knew Kahlan could sing super well but WHOA!

As soon as Kahlan stepped off the stage I glomped her quickly before anyone could stop me.

"That was super-super-super-super cool!" I squeal loudly while hugging her, Kahlan gives me a happy smile back before hugging me tightly, her nerves are a little on edge right now.

"Thanks a lot, Laura," she says while hugging me as we pull away with big grins on our faces.

"Well done, Kahlan," Konan says with her regular smile while walking over to us both, everyone following behind her.

Some people congratulate her while most of them are saying that they will only congratulate her if she wins… meanies.

"Hey… where's Itachi and Sasuke?" I ask while scanning our group… seriously… where are they? Konan and Kahlan glance round our group as well before shrugging… where are those brothers?

"I haven't seen them since Kahlan went on stage," my mum says with a confused tone with her camera in hand, looking round the stage area for the two Uchiha brothers… really… where can those two be? In the bathroom maybe?

"Here is our next two contestants, Sasuke and Itachi Uchiha," the announcer man yells with a cheer as almost everyone in our group looks to the stage as both the Uchiha brothers step onto it, their eyes never leaving each other as they do it… uh oh… are they competing or fighting up there? "These two will be combining the two categorizes of stage fighting and voice acting," the announcer yells into his microphone as the crowd really seems to be ready and cheering and clapping VERY loudly.

I look closely at the brothers while stepping towards the stage and notice something; they are both wearing microphones which are strapped to their shirt collars.

Both of the Uchiha brothers turn away from each other before looking to the crowd, "my name is Itachi Uchiha, it's a pleasure to compete in front of you all," Itachi greets the crowd as many fan girls seem to scream even louder than before but they get even louder as Sasuke steps forwards, his shirt still undone like yesterday. If he catches a cold it's not my fault~ I call that~

"Hn," is all he says before glancing to his brother then back to the crowd with his always bored expression, "Sasuke Uchiha, we'll begin now," he says with his bored tone WHICH matches his expression… so he is bored… knew it!

Sasuke pulls the double edged sword he got yesterday out of its cover before pointing it at Itachi, a glare on his face.

"Itachi, I see you dead at my feet," Sasuke announces which makes many fan girls scream in glee and many people seem to be edging forwards in their seats for this fight… does Sasuke know he says that in the anime and manga? Whoa~ I wanna watch now.

I quickly sit down in my seat with everyone else as Kahlan seems to be watching the two brothers with a slightly concerned expression on her face, she knows from Sasuke that he wants to kill Naruto and the brothers do NOT get along… then again… what siblings do?

I lean down and squeeze her hand a little with a smile, Kahlan glances to me before sparing me another smile, turning back to the two brothers on stage as I do the same.

"You see me dead at your feet, eh," Itachi says to Sasuke while taking a small step forward, his eyes closed and the huuuge screen is split in half with both the brother's faces on it. "Well then," he muses before disappearing in a flash, making me blink; feeling like I missed something. "Let's get to it," he says again as I snap to Sasuke where Itachi is standing slightly beside him… when did he?

My mind flashes back to the death of Itachi which makes me shudder a little, don't let that happen here… please-please-please JERRY THE GHOST!

I hear a clash of metal as I look back to the two brothers; their kunai knifes clashes with sparks flying.

I blink my eyes a few times as they both jump back from one another as Sasuke prepares his sword and Itachi's eyes flash to the Sharingan on the huuuge screen, causing many gasps and cheers from the people watching. My eyes blink again as I miss the brothers clashing again, kunai to sword, sparks flying as they pass one another again, and Sasuke's sleeve is falling off and Itachi's cheek has a tiny nick on it.

"Are they trying to kill one another," John questions while staring at the fight going on with a huge grin on his face… Meanie!

"No, it's rough training at most, if they were killing each other the stage and probably a mile of here would be gone," Kisame says from behind me, a huge grin on his face as Kahlan squeezes my hand a little more as I glance to her, her palm is a little sweaty so she must be a bit worried that they MIGHT kill one another.

I look back to the stage to see Sasuke's sleeve has now been ripped off and Itachi's jeans has a small rip in it but no blood meaning no cut… I AM CHEERING FOR ITACHI! Oh and also Sasuke but not as much as Itachi, Sasuke is still a kinder Meanie in my books.

Sasuke glares at Itachi one more time before activating his Sharingan which causes more screams from fan girls and cheers from the crowd. I don't think they will use Jutsu just in case they get on the news for it like how we are trying to keep a low profile~ Itachi is smart like that and I think Sasuke is too~

Itachi and Sasuke seem to sprint at one another before Sasuke jumps up high, aiming his sword at Itachi while Itachi moves to the side, avoiding his sword.

"Tch!" Sasuke seems to grunt before aiming a kick at Itachi who blocks it by moving his foot away and punches Sasuke right in the chest which results in Sasuke flying backwards, long enough for Itachi to pull the sword out of the stage and throw it at Sasuke, who amazingly catches it by the handle! THAT WAS EPIC! Super-super epic as I cannot do that well I hope to one day but since I can't right now THAT WAS EPIC! Go brothers!

Sasuke points his sword at Itachi who pulls two kunais out of his holder on his thigh before throwing them at Sasuke, sprinting at him the second they leave his hands.

Sasuke deflects the kunais which fall to the ground, standing up right; but freezes when Itachi pulls another kunai to his neck, hitching his breathing, I am guessing that because of the tiny gasp that could be heard from his microphone.

"That's it, little brother," Itachi says while pulling his kunai away from Sasuke's neck, nicking it slightly before taking three steps back from the still stunned Uchiha before bowing, showing it is over.

"Hn," Sasuke's reply before bowing to his brother after pulling the sword back in its holder.

I grin happily at the exciting display as Kahlan slowly lets go of my hand before clapping, seeming to enjoy the show a lot. "That was amazing," she says with a small smile while looking to the two brothers who bow to the screaming and the squealing crowd and fan girls, even the judges are clapping while standing in their seats! Epicness!

"That should win them first place," Konan says with her smile to both Kahlan and I as I grin, I am sooooo glomping Itachi and maybe Sasuke if I can catch him off guard… wait… I'll glomp him first that way he will not see me coming! I am super like that! I am youthful~!

"I am glomping them," I say with a dead serious tone which makes Kahlan chuckle a little while stepping out of the row of seat with everyone else.

"Have fun with that," Kahlan says as I grin and watch the two boys walk off the stage and I hear the announcer again.

"It seems those two were our last contestants, without further ado, let me announce the winners," he says as my heart pounds in my throat, I quickly hold Kahlan's hand as she clenches mine back. "The winners of the acting competition," killing silent… Nuuu make it stoop! "Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha, they also win the voice acting competition so their prizes will be doubled but… the amount is a secret," the announcer says with a chuckle, meaning we don't get to know how much they get, the two boys turn on the heels while heading back to the stage as the screams of fans and fan girls fill my ears; I grin happily as the two boys take their envelopes and giggle slightly as Sasuke doesn't say anything but walks off the stage with his envelope as Itachi at least says 'thank you' before heading off the stage, "the winner of the singing competition is… Kahlan Ward," he yells into the microphone over the fans as my heart stops for a second before smiling to Kahlan, Yay, and Kahlan won.

"Congrats Kahlan," I say before quickly hugging her and pushing her towards the stage before she gets too shy to go on," go get the check~" I sing as she smiles to me before walking onto the stage and whispering something to Itachi as they walk pass each other, I make what Itachi says to be 'you're welcome' but I cannot make out what Kahlan said.

"Sasuke!" I yell while glomping him once he comes within glomping distance, "well done," I say while letting go of him as he raises a brow to me as I grin to him, causing him to look away from me to the side… Meanie.

"Thanks," he says at least before shrugging his shoulders and walking pass me… bigger Meanie!

"Itachi! Well done!" I yell while glomping Itachi once he also comes in glomping distance, Itachi gives a slightly dead chuckle as I let him go.

"Thank you," he says before looking to Pein then to his brother, "we have some shopping to do," he says to Pein who only nods to him as Itachi walks pass us all, grabs Sasuke's arm before dragging him off somewhere, Sasuke struggling to get his brother to let go of him… oh that looks epic and funny.

"Ha-ha," I laugh while watching the two till they are gone and glomp Kahlan once she comes back and I glomp her… she's awesome she needs to be glomped! "Congrats you lucky awesome person!" I greet with a grin as she grins back, hugging me back with a big squeeze, clearly very happy.

"Thank you, that was amazing," she says as we slowly let go and grin to everyone while some people seem a little confused at how to react with a grinning Kahlan.

"Congratulations," my mum and Konan greet as well as giving Kahlan a hug which she returns with her grin.

"Thank you both," Kahlan says as the rest of the Akatsuki come round as well as my brother and my dad.

"Knew Snow cone could do it," my brother says which results in Kahlan glaring at him, big fat Meanie!

"Congrats, yeah," Deidara says as others give their congratulations as well, causing Kahlan's cheeks to redden a little. I look to Pein as he walks over to Kahlan before whispering something that only few people can hear, meaning my parents and brother can't.

"Your prize money you can spend on anything," he says while pulling away and walking off towards Konan, "we leave for home in one hour, make the most of what time is left," he says before gathering his group and walking off something.

"Kahlan, you know what you want to buy with the money," I ask as she nods her head while walking somewhere, holding my hand as I follow with Deidara behind us, sighing about shopping.

We soon get to the music stand as her eyes light up and she starts to look around for something.

"It's not here," she says after almost half an hour of searching for something. I tilt my head to her as she shakes her head for a second, "the butterfly guitar from yesterday must have been sold," she says with a small smile before looking to me, she looks really upset as well. "It's fine," she says while looking around the stall for a second before sighing, "let's look somewhere else," she says before walking away from the stall, I stare at her back for a second before pouting and following after her with Deidara at the side. She seems really sad as well.

It doesn't take long for the hour to be up and Kahlan hasn't brought anything with her money, she says she'll save it for later or put it towards the bills.

Soon the groups come together and the group of Itachi and Sasuke have yet to return till I see the two walking towards us, many bags in their hands and a case on Itachi's back.

"Whoa~" I sing with a tune at the amount of bags they have with them.

"How much stuff did you two buy, yeah," Deidara asks while eyeing the bags and the two Uchiha brothers who settling some of them down.

"I didn't have anything in mind to buy so I brought everyone something," Itachi says while taking a small box out of another bag before showing my brother it who quickly grabs it and opens it.

"This is awesome," he says with his zombie grin to see a gun necklace while the gun looks kinder like a rocket launcher… is it? I don't know. I don't do weapons~

Itachi and Sasuke seem to hand out the gifts to everyone, all the male members seem to have gotten quite a big box lunch each which has rice, chicken and pork, some have fruit and vegetables while some have egg like foods in them.

Itachi gives my mum a whole new painting set which looks very cool which she loves, my dad some Japanese spices, they have gotten Dr. Ward some Japanese medical spices and books which will be given at home and Mr. Ward a book about Japanese scented candles like cherry blossom as well as some new posh ink pens and paper. Konan got some proper Japanese origami paper which she really likes.

"Hey," Sasuke says as I spin on my heels, sneaky ninja got behind me, "Here, it's from both of us," he grumbles as he hands me a slightly packed bag.

"Thank you," I sing slightly while looking it and see LOTS of Eevee evolution plushies… Umbreon… Espeon… my favourites! I squeal happily while glomping Sasuke who seems ready for it as he doesn't slid backwards from the force, "thank you-thank you both! Itachi you're getting glomped after this!" I say while pointing to the man who stands there, a small amused smirk as his brother is glomped by a girl who rocks~ that's me for the record~ not Jerry the ghost since… well he's a guy.

"Kahlan," Itachi says as I let go of Sasuke to see the gift he got her, "this was quite expensive but I got a deal on this," he says while pulling the case off of his back, "it seems you wanted this yesterday," he says while opening the case and like maybe, the butterfly guitar is there! Damn… Itachi has amazing ideas in gifts!

Kahlan covers her mouth slowly as I see her eyeing the guitar as Itachi… oh Itachi… you are awesome like that! Go my friend and ninja person! Show your awesome talking skills! Itachi isn't blushing! Come on Itachi! Show some emotion pleeeeaaaseeee! At least try to act happy or something!
