Disclaimer: Naruto isn't mine.
Itachi's P.O.V.
I sighed and stared at my empty bed. Third day in a row that this terrible dream was living. I closed my eyes and counted to ten then opened my eyes again. I snorted at the empty space behind me. This was becoming a routine for me. I'd wake up at eight then lie in bed for three hours waiting foe either Deidara's morning explosion or my love to suddenly reappear in my bed. Every morning it was Deidara's explosion to get me out of bed.
KA-BOOOOOMMMM!
Looks like the streak wouldn't be changing any time soon.
I sighed and pulled myself out of bed. A piece of paper fell from the bed as I stood. "Hn?" I asked myself as I picked it up. It was torn paper from one of Ana's notebooks. There was a drawing of what looked like a three-spiked star. Under it was written "single knot" in Ana's handwriting. Then there was the start of it, but it went up the side of the page like a braid with four strands. Next to it in the same hand writing as before, it said "long knot" again, in my lover's writing. I remembered when she drew these. It was the night we were all reunited.
Flashback.
Itachi Smiled down at Ana as she noticed her jacket had been removed. Itachi caught sight of her arm. There were severe burn marks going up from her wrist. It had been perfectly covered by her jacket, so he hadn't noticed until now. He grabbed her hand and tugged it up so he could see. She blushed in the cutest way that made his heart flutter and his breath catch in his throat. "Explain?" He asked. She looked away and her hair covered her face. "I…Tried to use the Rasendori." She said. His gripped tightened on her hand, causing her to look at him. "You what? Don't you know that is dangerous? Ayu didn't even have it perfected before-" He started. "Yes she did! It was just before she was killed!" She said. He looked at her with confusion. "Ayu remembered while you were gone. Her heart tumor started to hurt and she went down on her knees. She was just getting herself to calm down, and then someone pushed a sword through her back and strait through her heart. Just before she died, she was able to see the face of her killer. But it was a blur." She said. Itachi rested his head on hers. She kissed him gently. "Don't worry. As soon as I figure out who killed us, I'll kill him back." She said with a smile. He smiled back at her and kissed her nose. She giggled. Then he noticed something else on her arm. Just above the burn marks.
"What's this?" He asked, touching it. It didn't feel like a burn. And she didn't cringe in pain at it. "Oh, that is a Celtic Knot. I had it tattooed on my arm after I took a trip to Ireland. An Irish boy gave it to me for free. He said some thing in Irish after that. I'm not trained in Irish yet, so I don't know what it meant." She said. "What was it he said? I'm curious." He asked, looking up at her through his eyelashes. She furrowed her eye brows. "Bandia na Cruinne. I didn't understand. After that, He tattooed this on my arm and said 'Biodh truas sabhailte.' Then he bowed his head and said 'mo Bandia.'" She said and frowned as she mimicked the boy's speech pattern. She shrugged. "I'm not going to complain, though, I actually wanted a Tattoo of a Celtic Knot on my eighteenth birthday. She smiled at it. "I'll figure it out, eventually." She smiled at him and they lied down for the night. The next morning, after she was done with her meeting, she drew the two types of Celtic Knots.
Flashback end.
I chuckled at the memory. I didn't speak Irish either, so I didn't under stand what a Bandia was. Apparently (since he bowed to her) it must have been a word of respect. I smiled and sighed. I wished I could talk to her. Wait… I could! Ana always takes her phone when she leaves the house. I noticed that Two (four for them) years ago. When ever she walked out the door, she would always have her phone in her hand. I ran out of the room, looking for the first girl I ran to. I ended up colliding with Shay. Literally.
"Yikes! Wow, Itachi, you're really acting OOC." She said. "Hn?" I asked. She smirked. "Out of character. You really miss her, huh?" She said. I nodded. She pulled out her phone and handed it to me. "Hold down number two until the ring signal starts." She said and turned around. I blinked. Maybe she really could read minds. I shrugged and pressed the 2 on the keypad until a signal told me it was dialing. I remembered from back in their world when Ana had every girl on speed dial. I held the device up to my ear and leaned against the wall, waiting for her to answer.
"Shay? What is it?" Ana answered after five and a half rings. Her voice was low, like she was whispering. "Ana." I said. I heard her sigh. "Itachi…Now really isn't the time." She whispered. I felt my self blush. "I just had to hear your voice again. Is everything alright?" I asked. "Itachi, everything is fine. But, I'm kinda in the middle of something at the moment." She whispered. "Why are you whispering?" I asked, very confused. I heard the call of a familiar voice. "Yo, Ana! What's taking so long, who are you talking to?" there was no mistaking it, that was the voice of Naruto Uzumaki. "Ana, are you with Naruto?!" I asked, trying to hide anger. "Um, Hold on I'll be there in a minute!... Itachi, I really have to go. I'll call back later, I promise. I love you." She said and hung up. I sighed in frustration and hit the button meant to end the call.
"Trouble in paradise, Itachi?" Asked Tobi. I glared at him. "Hn, go bother Deidara." I said and turned to find Shay. The annoying brat did no such thing. "Sempai and Danna are in a meeting with leader-san!" He said. "Then bother your girlfriend." I said. "Tabby-chan is sleeping. She was up really late last night!" He said. "Then go play in the middle of a lake!" I said. "Ohh, that sounds like fun, Itachi-san! Where's a lake at?" He asked. I walked past Nyisha at that moment. I'm so sorry. I thought. "Hey look Tobi, its Nyisha, why don't you two go paint rocks?" I said and shoved him towards her. "Wha-?" Nyisha asked as Tobi grabbed her wrist. "Come on Nyisha-chan! I know a nice rock that you can paint!" He said, dragging her off. "What? No! Itachi!" She yelled, shooting me a glare. "I'm sorry just go with it." I whispered. I quickly found Shay and returned her phone and thanked her.
"Oh, right, Itachi. Pein and Konan are out for the day and the girls want to have some fun while all the leaders are gone. We need all of you guys in for it to work. You in?" She asked. I stared at her. "Why does this sound like something Ana or Kira would come up with?" I asked. "Because it is." She said. I stared. "My brain connection with Ana is stronger than you think." She said. "What are we doing?" I asked. She grinned. "It's a game Nyisha, Ana, Miranda and Kira played as children. It's called. 'Spin dare'. It's a combination of Truth or Dare and Spin the Bottle." She said. I shrugged. "Yeah, I guess." I said. "Yay!" Shay said and ran off. I guess I could relax a bit. It was going to be another two and a half days before Ana got back from Konoha. I may as well have a little fun.
Nyisha's P.O.V.
I had escaped Tobi by hitting him on the back of the head with the large rock he had me try to paint. With grass and water. I was originally going to hit my self with it, but it slipped from my hand and hit him instead. Either way, I still win. Only I don't wake up with a head ache this way. My current mission was to track down Itachi and hit him with the rock I was now carrying in my hand. I was muttering in Romanian as I went along. "Timpit cretin, tragand rahat de genul asta de pe mine. Cine se crede el este?! Teanc de baie! Aceasta piatra va zdrobi craniul lui! Ceea ce o pula, ce o gaura de cur." I cussed (Translation; Stupid idiot, pulling shit like that on me. Who does he think he is? Dip wad. This rock is going to crush his skull! What a dick, what an ass hole.) I grumbled all the way down the hall, looking for the bastard.
"You're pissed off and bitching in Romanian. Now we know why Tobi is unconscious." Zetsu said, popping up behind me and scaring me half to death. "Sfinte sisoe! (Holy shit!) Zetsu! Dafuq?!" I yelled, almost throwing the rock at him. "Wait how'd you know I was speaking Romanian?" I asked. "Brianna talks in her sleep. I ask her what she talks about sometimes. She always speaks in Romanian. I recognized some of the words." He said. I narrowed my eyes. "Whatever, where's Itachi?" I asked. "He left with Shay and Sasori a little while a go." White Zetsu said. "What? Where'd they go?" I asked. "I heard Shay saying something about a bottle, but I didn't hear the entire conversation over the screaming girl scout we were eating." He said. "Girl scou- Aw, my cookies!" I whined. He held up a bag. I snatched it and looked at it. Twenty peanut butter, thirty mints and fifty coconuts. Yes! The prizes were here!
I dropped the rock and sprinted down the hall yelling for Shay and Brianna. I tripped over Amanda as she was reading something on her phone. "Amanda! The cookies are here! We can play as soon as Shay, Sasori and Itachi get back with the bottle!" I yelled. Amanda ditched her phone on the bed and we ran to find Kakuzu and Kisame. Kisame was out back poking Tobi with a stick. Kakuzu was counting money in our room. "Nyisha, how much did the cookies cost?" He asked. "That doesn't matter! The game can begin!" Kisame said, dragging Tobi behind him. "You guys go find Deidara and Hidan. We'll get Tabby and Brianna!" I said and Amanda and I ran for Tabby's room while they went to find Deidara and Hidan. Tabby was still asleep in her bed, so Amanda and I jumped on her like her dogs would in the mornings. She shot up immediately.
"Da hell?!" She asked. "The cookies are here! We can play Spin Dare now!" I said. She launched from the bed and we went running to find Brianna. Along the way we found Zetsu again, and then Brianna. We all went running to meet with the others in the main room. Shay came waking in with Sasori and Itachi behind her. She held up an empty cream soda bottle. Most likely one she just drained. We all sat in a circle and Tobi woke up. I grinned and set up the boxes of cookies on the coffee table and rejoined the circle in between Kakuzu and Hidan. I grinned and waited to begin. Shay, being the last one of us that actually remembered the rules, explained while handing around plates.
"What we do is, first we have a rock paper scissors war to see who spins first and we all know what rock paper scissors is I hope. And who ever wins the war spins first. Who ever the bottle lands on has to do what the spinner tells them. If they succeed, they get a coconut cookie. If they accept but fail, they get a mint. If they don't accept, the spinner has to do it. If they succeed, they spin again and the next person can't reject. And if they succeed, they get a peanut butter cookie. The coconut cookies are fifty points, mint is thirty and peanut butter is twenty. Don't eat them until after the game. Who ever has the most points by the end of the game gets a box of their choice. No rematches. Any questions?" Shay said. Hidan was the one to speak up. "Why did we have to wait for Pein-in-the-ass, Konan, Ana and Kira to leave to do this?" He asked. "Because Ana banned us from playing and told Pein and Konan." Shay said. "Why?" He asked. Shay looked at the girl next to him. Not me, Tabby. She leaned in and whispered in his ear. "Ah!" He said, turning green. "That's what I said." Shay said. Hidan looked ready to puke. "Let the rock paper scissors war begin!" Shay said, sitting down and turning to Itachi. I followed her lead and turned to Kakuzu. Hidan to Tabby. Tobi to Kisame. Amanda to Brianna. Deidara to Sasori. Zetsu to … Zetsu? Well, I guess split personality counts.
Itachi beat Shay, I beat Kakuzu, Kisame beat Tobi, Brianna beat Amanda, Sasori beat Deidara, and Zetsu beat Zetsu, if that makes sense… Anyways, after that, Kisame and Itachi beat me, then Itachi beat Kisame, Brianna beat Sasori and Zetsu. Brianna beat Itachi in the final round. Brianna spun the bottle and it landed on Zetsu. She tapped her lip thought fully. Then she grinned evilly. "I dare you to eat a carrot. Slowly. In front of us." She said. Zetsu looked terrified, but went and grabbed a carrot from the kitchen and did as she said. We all had the same look on our faces. It looked something like this; O[]O except Hidan, his face looked something like this; 0[]e.
Zetsu was handed a coconut cookie and he spun the bottle. It landed on Kisame. "I dare you to eat a fish. While acting like jaws." He said. We put a fish on a regular plate and he got on his stomach. "Duuh duhn. Duuh duhn. Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun! Nom!" He said then ate the fish while making a retarded face. I video tapped it. YouTube here I come! Kisame was given a coconut cookie and spun. It landed on me. Kisame sat in wonder, then an evil idea came to him. "I dare you…" He leaned in and whispered in my ear. "Shove your vagina in Kakuzu's face." He whispered. I felt my face drop in disgust. "Oh, my god!" I gagged. "What, your not gonna do it?" He asked, worry on his face. I felt myself sweating as I stood up. I turned and thrust my pelvis in to Kakuzu's face.
"Oh, my God!" I heard Amanda, Shay, and Brianna shriek. "Oh, mother of Jashin, My eyes!" Hidan yelled. "Tobi's innocence!" Tobi yelled. Itachi didn't say anything, just covered his eyes shamefully. "It's last time all over again." Tabby cried. "I wish I was still eating the carrot." Zetsu whined. "Why…?" Sasori whined in pain. Deidara was absolutely silent. Probably dragging his face on the floor in attempt to erase the image. Kisame was laughing so hard I was afraid we might have to clean shark piss out of the carpet later. I sat down. "Just give me the fucking cookie." I said, blushing. After the cookie was placed on my plate, I spun. It landed on Kakuzu. "Kakuzu I dare you to beat the shit out of Kisame until he pees." I said.
Kakuzu did so before I finished. I watched silently as Kakuzu made grilled shark. Everyone else watched with me. Itachi seemed amused. Ana would thank me later. Kisame finally peed and Kakuzu got his cookie. Kakuzu sat next to me and we continued. The bottle landed on Tobi. Kakuzu handed a piece of burning rock to Tobi. "I dare you to sit on this for five minutes." He said. Tobi grabbed it and sat…for five seconds. "Yaoooowwwww!" He yelled as his ass caught on fire. I filmed as Tobi turned in to a human firework. I was entertained. Deidara was laughing his ass off. Sasori and Itachi were suppressing laughter. Everyone else was either grinning from ear to ear or laughing their asses off with Deidara. Tobi was given a mint cookie as soon as his ass finished burning.
Tobi spun the bottle. It landed on Deidara. "Tobi dares sempai to scream 'I love Justin Beiber' as loud as he can!" Tobi said. "Who's Justin Beiber, un?" Deidara asked. "The gay boy who was flirting with you during tryouts for the dance off." I said. His face dropped. He stood and took a deep breath. We covered our ears. "I LOVE JUSTIN BEIBER, UN!" Deidara shrieked. We all stared as he turned red and sat down. "Wow." We all said. He got his cookie and it landed on Amanda. "I dare you to punch Tobi where it counts, un." He said. We all burst in to laughter. All except Itachi, Sasori and Tobi. Sasori and Itachi were suppressing their laughter. Tobi didn't understand. "What?" Tobi asked. "Tobi, be a good boy and stand up." Amanda said. He did. "Oh, Amanda, please don't." Tabby giggled. But it was too late, Amanda's fist went flying and hit Tobi in the "good boy" area with all her might. He went flying back.
"Medic!" Tobi said, sounding like a person who just sucked helium. No resistance in the laughter from anyone. Sasori, Itachi, Kakuzu, Deidara and I were laughing so hard we were crying. I hope Amanda got a picture of that. After Amanda got her cookie and Tobi in the medic room, we continued. Amanda spun and it landed on Itachi. "I dare you to kiss some one." She said. "I can't, my girlfriend isn't here." He said. She grinned. "Exactly." She said. Itachi stared. "No." He said. Amanda's eye twitched. She couldn't kiss Kisame because of the intent of her dare. She stood up and it seemed like she was going for Hidan when she suddenly jumped on Sasori. All of our mouths hung open. Shay looked like she was ready to light Amanda on fire. She pulled away quickly. "Ew, do you eat fucking saw dust?" She said, wiping her tongue with her hands. She got a peanut butter cookie and spun again. It landed on Itachi again. "I repeat my last dare." She said. "What?" Itachi asked. "There are no rules against repeats." Shay said. With a sigh of frustration, Itachi headed for me. My eyes widened. He suddenly turned and kissed Brianna. He pulled away quicker than Amanda did. "What the hell did you eat?!" He asked and wiped his mouth. "Garlic fish." Brianna replied. We all gagged.
"I never want to do that again." He said as he was given the coconut cookie. He spun the bottle and it landed on me. "I dare you to cut off Hidan's head with his own scythe." He said. I grabbed Hidan's weapon and grabbed his hair. "Whoa, whoa! Nyisha! I know we've had disagreement, but would you really-" he said. "Yes." I said and yanked the weapon back. A clean cut. "Well, that was fun." I said and dropped Hidan's head in his lap. "Fuck you." He said. "Maybe later." I said and spun the bottle. It landed on Amanda. "I dare you to do to Kisame what he dared me to do to Kakuzu." I said. Amanda stared at me. "Just kidding. I dare you to lick your elbow." I said. Amanda pulled her arm up and attempted to touch her tongue to her elbow. She tried many ways to get there. As scientists said, it was impossible. She sighed and accepted defeat. She took the mint cookie and spun. It landed on Sasori. Amanda grinned and whispered her dare in his ear. His face became as red as his hair. He swallowed hard.
I was shocked at the dare when he finally did it. He went up to Shay, yanked up her shirt and stuck his face in her chest. She Hinata shrieked. We all turned red. "Ew ew ew ew ew ew ew EW!" I said with Brianna and Tabby. Amanda seemed relieved that Sasori had done as she had told him. I was beginning to think that Ana had been thinking correctly when she placed a ban on this game. Shay finally got a dare to bite Itachi. Brianna was dared to lick Hidan. By the end of the game, Itachi had won. He chose a box of coconut cookies. For the rest of the night we watched things on YouTube and I put the videos of Kisame and Tobi-work up on Ana and Shay's account. We sat there watching those two videos and other videos we hadn't seen back when we were in the lame world. I grinned as we hit the midnight signal and went to bed. I doubted that Ana and the others were having this much fun!
Ana's P.O.V.
"THIS IS SO NOT FUN!" I yelled as Naruto, Kiba, Miranda, Kira, Shino and I ran from a swarm of giant wasps. We had decided to camp for one night. "It'll be fun!" Naruto said. "We'll have a great time!" Naruto said! When am I ever going to learn not to listen to Naruto?! Ayu! Why did I let him talk me in to this?! Shut the fuck up and run! I didn't hesitate to listen to my other soul. "NARUTO! IF WE EVER SURVIVE THIS, I'M GOING TO BRUTALLY MURDER YOU!" I yelled as we sprinted through the woods with giant wasps chasing us. Miranda, Kira and I were the slowest runners. So we were going to be the first to be stung. And frankly, I was pissed.
I eventually got tired of running and turned, making a few hand signs. Please work, please work, please work. "Fire style, Fire ball jutsu!" Fire erupted from my lungs and all over the coming bugs. I only got a few lines of them down. But the rest retreated in fear of being cooked. I panted as the four came up behind me. "That… was fun… let's never… do it again…" I panted sarcastically at the first part. "YEAH!" Kiba yelled, scaring the shit outta me.
"AALLRIIIGHT! Way to go, Ana! Now we have dinner!" He said. I stared at him for a moment. "Naruto." I growled. "Eh?" he said, seeing my glare. "Run." I said. He didn't miss a beat and neither did I. I chased him about three miles with Kiba, Miranda, and Kira on my tale. "NARUTO UZUMAKI I AM GOING TO MURDER YOU IN THE MOST BRUTAL WAY POSSIBLE!" I yelled. "OH, GOD, YOUR SCARYIER THAN THE BEES! OW!" He shouted in pain as I beat him mercilessly with a mini-spatula i carried with me at all times.
"Okay, Ana, let's let him live and eat. I'm hungry." Kira said. I turned to glare at her. She looked ready to shit her pants. "You're next." I said. She spun to run. "Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck! Noooooooo! Ana stoooop!" She yelled as I chased her all the way back to the village with the rest of our group on my tale. "And this is why we don't go camping." Miranda sighed, facepalmong. That was aruond the time I got the nightly report.
Brianna's P.O.V.
"I think the highlight of the day was watching Amanda punch Tobi's balls in." I said, brushing the taste of bee guts from when Amanda dared me to eat a bee from my mouth. "That was pretty funny. Tobi's not that bad." Zetsu said. "It's amusing to watch you two fight." I said. He grinned at me. I smiled through the bubbles and then rinsed out my mouth. I yawned on my way to bed. "Good night, Zetsu-kun." I said, cuddling up to him and falling asleep.
Amanda's P.O.V.
"Well that was horrible." Kisame said. "Hey, you started it." I said as I finished my report to Ana. My report was this. "Pein and Konan left for the day and we all watched videos on YouTube." And then sent it to my friend. I cuddled up to Kisame. "Yeah, Maybe, but they didn't have to continue. I would have Tee bagged Kakuzu if Nyisha said no." He said. I facepalmed. "Oh, god, Kisame!" I said. "Well, you didn't have to kiss Sasori." He said. I shuddered. "Ew." I said. "Let's not bring up the taste of sawdust." I covered my mouth. He smirked down at me. He placed a finger under my chin and kissed me sweetly. "Well, then. Raw fish isn't any better." I said and waved my hand away. "Oh, really, Amanda? You're going to go there?" He said. I shrugged. "Well I didn't eat anything desgusting." I said with a smile. He chuckled and kissed my head. "Good night, beautiful." He said. "Good night, Jaws." I said and closed my eyes for a long nights sleep.
Itachi's P.O.V.
I laied in bed, wondering if I should get up and find Shay and call Ana again. I didn't think I should. It was past midnight and she was probably asleep. She'd be mad if I woke her up at this late hour. Hell, if I woke her up before ten, she'd murder me. I loved her, but that woman scared me sometimes. I smirked at the thought of her beating people with spatulas. There was a tap at the door. I stood up and went to answer my door. Shay was standing there, phone in hand. "For you." She said and handed it to me.
"Hello?" I asked. "I missed you." My little devil's voice said from the other side. "I miss you, too. How was your day?" I asked. "Well, Naruto convinced us to go camping and we ended up getting chased by a swarm of giant bees. Needless to say, I beat my little brother with the mini-spatula with out mercy." She said. I chuckled. "Then Kira chose the wrong time to speak and I chased her the entire way back to the village. We dicided to go camping another time." She said, I heard her laugh. I smiled. "How was your day?" She asked. "Boring. We didn't do mush other than watch YouTube videos." I said. She blew and chuckled. I could imagine her blowing in to her hair. "Well, you better get to sleep. I'll see you when you get back. I love you." I said. "I love you, too. Good night." She said and we hung up and I rueturned Shay's phone to her and went to sleep.
Okay, you gotta admit that was pretty good. Well, It's already 5:00 over here, I guess I better go make food for my family. Good night and see you all early on Friday!
