I don't own Naruto or the Akatsuki. Enjoy.

The group had piled in Chaos's Tahoe, a mess of bags at their feet. Chaos pulled out of the parking space and started on the way home when she was bombarded with questions.
"Who was that?"
"Why didn't you let us kill her? It was obvious that you don't like her."
"Who the fuck is 'God'?"
"What's college, yeah?"
"Why did she assume I was mute?"
Chaos laughed a little at Itachi's question. She turned down the stereo, basically telling Green Day to be quiet, before answering their questions.
"That was Alex. She was in dance with me but got kicked off because she didn't know how to do anything but lie and whine. Just because I don't like her doesn't mean I want her to die. She can be pretty fun to be around…sometimes. Plus, I'd rather not end up in jail for letting murderers loose on some chick.
"God is one of the main religious icons in this world. A good seventy percent or so of the American population believe in Him. The rest are atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, and more. America is known for allowing everyone to believe in what they want to. It's pretty awesome.
"In our world, you go to school for twelve years to learn the fundamentals and then you have the choice of going to college to help you make a career and be successful in life. I'm going to college one day…probably.
"Usually, when she flirts with guys, they respond in some way. She flirts with a guy, dates the guy for a while, and then dumps him to date someone else. She was probably really confused when you didn't show interest. By the way," she turned to look at Itachi while at a red light. "Thank you for not showing interest. I think I would've barfed if you did." The car laughed and Itachi smirked slightly. Chaos giggled and turned to face the road, pressing on the gas pedal.
"So, what should we have for dinner tonight?" she asked, turning onto the interstate.
"I want the shit we had for lunch," Hidan hollered from the very back, only his eyes visible over the back seats. Most of them nodded in agreement, others choosing to remain silent. Chaos smiled.
"Gotcha. Pizza it is."

"Honey, I'm home!"
The Akatsuki turned towards the front door, where Brise stood, shaking off her umbrella. About an hour after the Akatsuki and Chaos had arrived home, a loud thunderstorm broke through their area, leaving Tobi hiding under the kitchen table. Now he sat playing Pokémon with headphones in. While he sat listening to Pandora, Itachi was a step closer to having her phone figured out, now tapping in and out of various icons to see what they are. Kisame and Hidan had fallen asleep and Deidara was messing around on the laptop. Konan and Pein were talking quietly, most likely discussing ways to get back. Kakuzu and Sasori had torn apart the book shelves looking for a book that entertained them, Sasori's about philosophy and Kakuzu's about the human body. They'd switched books already, sharing similar interest in Chaos's library. Zetsu was tending to Derek, Chaos's cactus, who he had insisted on bringing inside when the storm ripped through. Chaos was in the kitchen, cleaning up from breakfast.
The door that leads to the kitchen and dining room flew open and a flash of pink was seen as Chaos tackled Brise to the floor. The shorter girl wrapped her arms around the taller's neck and began to smother her, saying things like "Oh, how I've missed you~".
"Can't…breathe…"
Chaos giggled and released her hold on the girl, sitting back on the floor. She tucked a strand of light pink hair behind her ear, smiling brightly as Brise picked herself up off the ground.
"So how was the shoot?" Chaos asked, accepting the outstretched hand of her best friend. The two both stood from the ground and flopped onto an open space on the couch, facing each other.
"It was alright. I'm supposed to be getting the check sometime next week, so that's good. How did shopping go?" Brise laughed at the face that Chaos made.
"I had to literally drag the artists away from the crummy statue in the intersection. Also, I'm not allowed back in Victoria's Secret because Hidan tried to buy me lingerie…and we're having pizza tonight."
Brise blinked. She looked towards Hidan, who had woken up when Chaos displayed her love, and sent him a death glare. Hidan frowned, confused as to why so much hate was directed at him when he just woke up.
"Listen up, you piece of shit," she said, causing Hidan's eyebrows to shoot up, "No one is allowed to see Chaos half naked except me. And whoever she marries. You know what? Fuck that. Only me. Not you. Not your bitch ass. I don't care if you are in my top ten favorite anime characters; no one screws with my Chaos. She is my best friend, and I will protect her from bitch-asses like you. Am I understood?"
Hidan cocked an eyebrow at her. "Whatever, bitch."
Brise's eye twitched, but other than that, she remained silent. A silence stretched throughout the living room, the group remaining quiet as they awaited the upcoming destruction.
Chaos blinked, clapping her hands together to catch everyone's attention. "Now that Brise has unleashed the fact that she's over-protective, how about we order some pizzas?"
x x x
"So," Chaos said, picking a pepperoni off of her pizza. "Any idea on how to get back? Or are you guys just gonna eat me out of house and home for as long as you can?"
A few laughed while others picked at their food. A few had chosen salads instead, regarding the greasy food with a look of distaste. She couldn't necessarily blame them; they're supposed to be ninja's, in top condition. Pizza didn't sound or look like a healthy snack to them.
Pein looked up from his plate. "We have a few ideas. They might not work, though. It'll take a while to get everything planned and ready, so please let us stay until then." Chaos smiled at him. Even if he was a total badass, at least he had manners. She always thought he'd be the best when it came to situations like this.
"Of course. What kind of Naruto fan would I be if I kicked you all the curb? Plus, I'm pretty sure it's against the rules of being an American if I let a bunch of criminals loose. It'd be horrible if they banned me from eating bacon for breaking one of the American rules." Brise laughed a bit at the end. The others quirked an eyebrow, not understanding what she meant.
"So, what's on the agenda for tomorrow? I have a couple weeks off, so we could go to the Water Park," Brise said, reaching for another slice of pizza. Chaos made a face at the idea.
"I thought about that but decided it'd be a bad idea. There's so many people there all the time, and I want the criminals to get used to being in public places so they don't accidentally kill a life guard."
"What if it wasn't an accident?"
"Shut up Sasori."
He threw her the middle finger, pushing off the wall and opening the door to the living room. When the door was closed, Chaos whispered, "Looks like it's someone's time of the month."
"Fuck you, brat."
The Akatsuki cracked up, along with Brise and Chaos. Chaos rested her head against the table as she laughed, replaying what she said over in her head. Brise leaned on Deidara to hold herself up and Deidara leaned on her as well, all while laughter rang through their bodies. Hidan all but fell out of his chair, pounding his fist against the floor (okay, it wasn't that funny). Kakuzu was more contained, yet he still laughed. Konan covered her mouth to hide her giggles and Pein kept his mouth in a tight line, determined not to laugh. Kisame was leaning on Itachi the way he had in the mall, loud laughter ripping through him. Itachi cracked a small smile, but otherwise didn't say anything.
Tobi looked around confused as the laughter around him started to die down. "Time of the month for what?"
And it started back up again.

"When we were little, Chaos would come over and hide my parent's shoes because she loved hearing them cuss when they were late for work and couldn't find them," Brise said, leaning back in the couch as she braided parts of Deidara's hair. Some of the Akatsuki members looked at Chaos weirdly, who simply shrugged.
"I thought cussing was the shit back then. It cracked me up."
Deidara laughed. "What about Brise? Did she do any weird shit when she was little, yeah?"
Chaos smiled and Brise groaned. "When we were fifteen and sixteen, me and a few friends threw a huge party with non-alcoholic drinks but said they were. Everyone faked being drunk and Brise went as far and tripping over everything and 'accidentally' touching a few guys butts and basically making herself look like an idiotic slut. At the end of the night, we announced that they were all dumbasses, and I swear half the school didn't show up for school the next day because they were so embarrassed." Brise's face burned a bright red and her lips were pressed together as she looked away from everyone's gaze, especially Deidara who looked at her like she was a weirdo. Chaos felt great, knowing that she had embarrassed her in front of her favorite artist.
After her face died down, Brise turned towards Chaos, a wide grin on her face. "Do you remember how you got your nickname?"
A look of recognition lit up Chaos's face as well as a large grin. "Oh my God. Best. Day. Ever."
Brise laughed at the confused looks on the Akatsuki's face. Well, some of them. Pein and Konan had already turned in for the night, and once the storm died down, Zetsu had gone outside to tend to the roses. They put Tobi's air mattress in the dining room so he could sleep without being woken up by them. Itachi tried to go upstairs but was carried back down by Kisame, much to his annoyance. Kakuzu was sitting in the office reading, leaving Hidan, Deidara, Itachi, Kisame, Sasori, Brise, and Chaos in the living room. The latter two were telling stories from their past, the room illuminated by the paused screen of the TV.
"When she was in eleventh grade, her chemistry teacher said he didn't trust her with the lighter and got her partner to light the hot plate. She wanted to prove him wrong and talked her partner into letting her have the lighter and, long story short…"
"She lit a table on fire."
The room got quiet as the Akatsuki turned to look at her. Even Sasori looked up from his book to give her a 'are you serious' look. Chaos blinked innocently, cocking her head to the side slightly. The only one that didn't look like they were about to face palm was Deidara, who was snickering.
"What? You can't tell me you guys haven't lit something on fire before," she said, holding her hands up. Some of them rolled their eyes and laughed a bit, while others shook their heads in aspiration.
Deidara looked like he found his new best friend.
"You're not as bad as I thought, un." Chaos blinked at him.
"You're worse than I thought."
The group laughed at Deidara's annoyed expression. Brise smiled and brushed her fingers through Deidara's hair, gaining his attention.
"I still think you're awesome."
Chaos gagged. "Please take the love fest somewhere else. You're going to make Itachi sick." Itachi looked up from Chaos's phone, eyebrow lifted at the mention of his name. Chaos laughed before flopping back to lie across Itachi and Kisame's laps, arm thrown over her eyes. "You know, I thought it was going to be really annoying and hectic having you guys here. Don't get me wrong, I love you guys in the anime and manga, I just couldn't imagine living with you. But, it's not as bad as I thought it'd be. I didn't expect it to turn out like one of those "Into the Real World" fanfictions. Hell, I was expecting for none of you to put up with my shit and kill me before the second day. It's been pretty stressful, but I think I could get used to it."
…
"Stop getting fucking mushy on us, bitch."

Fun Fact: Chaos once went a month without talking to Brise because she broke laptop and phone at the same time.
