"The king has, once again, returned."

A ball of blonde pushed open the kitchen door, sprinting (as fast as she could with her boot) towards the doorway. Vincent barely had time to kick off his shoes before he was attacked, laughing as he nearly fell into the front door. Chaos latched onto him, laughing happily.

"My partner in crime has returned from war! Fear our wrath!" she yelled, squealing when he span her around. He chuckled and walked towards the kitchen, not bothering to further acknowledge the koala attached to him. The group stared at him but he paid no mind, walking over to Brise and giving her a side hug. Chaos hissed when the other female neared and Brise pinched her arm.

She leaned back, rubbing her arm and glaring at Brise. "Well that was mean," she said. Vincent chuckled and set her down, ruffling her hair. He lifted himself on the counter, an action Chaos had stolen from him, and leaned against the cabinets.

Vincent was a little taller than Brise and was pretty lean. His hair made him resemble a snow-blonde version of Mitch Welling, and his green eyes were dark and misplaced with the rest of himself. He was wearing an old tie dye tee and grey sweatpants from Pink, a gag gift that the girls had gotten him (he actually ended up using them, to their amusement). He glanced around the kitchen.

"You guys got a pretty full house. Whats their names?" he asked. Brise handed him a soda from the fridge and looked at the men (and woman) gathered at the island and kitchen table. She pointed to them as she named them off.

"Kisame, Itachi, Pein, Konan, Kakuzu, Tobi, Deidara, Zetsu, Sasori, and Hidan."

"Hey," Hidan yelled from the kitchen counter. "Why the fuck was I last?" Brise blinked at him.

"Because bitches are always last."

Chaos snorted and made Itachi scoot over in his barstool. Vincent lifted an eyebrow and the two and held his hand up to whisper in Brise's ear.

"I assume she already called dibs on him?"

Brise smiled and nodded, gesturing over to Deidara with her head and leaning towards Vincent, saying, "He's my dibs."

Vincent rolled his eyes. "Good Lord, I already have to worry about you two getting knocked up." Brise laughed and shook her head, leaning against the table top.

Chaos stared at the two and smiled. "Who says we order some pizza's and get game night started?"

"Hells yeah," Vincent said, setting his coke on the counter. He blinked when one of the guests, Tobi, spoke up.

"Why were you at war?"

Chaos snorted, realizing that he took her earlier shout seriously. It took Vincent a minute to understand what he meant, but he smiled at Tobi.

"I was fighting for the booty."

Hidan glared at the game board, then at Chaos. He turned back to the board before returning to Chaos. This cycle continued for God knows how long.

Chaos was currently kicking his ass at Trouble. She was three spaces from sending him back to home, and he was six from winning. For the past half hour they'd been playing this, every time someone would come close to winning, she'd bump them back to home. Everyone had already quit, annoyed with her too much to keep playing, except Hidan, who was hell-bent on beating her.

She'd already sent Hidan home seven times now.

He reached forward carefully, using his palm to push down the dome holding the dice. He lifted his hand carefully, watching the dice move around before landing on a one. He moved his pawn forward, glaring at Chaos as she took her turn.

"Yes!" she yelled, moving his pawn back to home. Hidan growled and flipped the Trouble board off the table, sending the pawns flying. The group stared at him.

"Was that really necessary, yeah?" Deidara scowled, staring the the pawns rolling all over the kitchen.

Hidan sniffed. "It was a stupid fucking game anyways."

"Whatever," Brise said, rolling her eyes. "Let's just play something else. "

They'd already played Cards Against Humanity, which Vincent and Hidan had tied (Vincent received an approving look and Hidan received a middle finger), Apples To Apples (the Akatsuki didn't know what half the shit was, so Chaos had an easy win), and Twister. Too bad there was now a hole in the games key and the map was ripped in half (Hidan's a sore loser-obviously). They still had Just Dance, Wii Sports & Resort, as well as Shrek that they could play.

Vincent loaded the PlayStation 2 with Shrek and threw three controllers at the the group. Chaos, Deidara, and Kakuzu grabbed one, Chaos showing them how to turn it on and the basics. Vincent took over the last third of one of the couches, starting the game.

After only half an hour of playing the game, the group ran into a problem.

"Okay," Vincent yelled, "Who the fuck is Donkey?"

"Deidara," Chaos replied, eyes remaining locked on the screen. Itachi was watching her fingers move around the controller furiously, her actions causing the Gingerbread Man on screen to move. Her eyebrow was ticked in annoyance and she hissed every time her character was hit, mainly by Deidara.

"Way to throw me under the bus, bitch, un," Deidara grumbled from the floor, in front of Brise. He clicked a button on the controller, effectively kicking Shrek across the screen and lowering his life bar.

"Fuck you, Deidara," Vincent said, pressing the X button and causing Shrek to punch Donkey.

"Hey!"

"You deserved it," Kakuzu said. He was surprisingly good at the game, seeing as he had more life than the rest of them. He was last to notice they were picking characters and got stuck with Fiona. After realizing that Vincent was indifferent in his threats to give him Shrek, he sighed and instead fucked everyone over whenever he could.

"Deidara, stop fucking kicking me," Chaos growled, moving as far away from Donkey as she could. Deidara snickered and moved his character to follow hers, making her yell again.

"What the fuck are we even supposed to be doing?" Vincent asked, furrowing his eyebrows together. He reached grabbed a slice of pizza off of Brise's plate, much to her annoyance, and took a bite.

"Who even knows any-Deidara, stop!" Chaos yelled in annoyance. He laughed from the other end of the room but stopped when the Gingerbread Man started wailing on Donkey with his candy cane.

"What the hell, Chaos!"

"You started it!"

"Fuck you, yeah!"

Vincent sighed and clicked the start button on his controller, pausing the game. The group looked at him and he threw his controller into Brise's lap lightly. He stared back at them.

"The game starts wars," he said shrugging. "I didn't want to see Blondie's guts splattered all over the room." Deidara scowled.

"I could take her."

Chaos set her controller down in Itachi's lap. "You wanna go, bricks-for-brains?"

Deidara stood up, scaring Brise in the process. "Bring it, Crippy."

Chaos blinked before looking down at her leg. "Oh yeah, forgot about that."

Brise laughed, kicking Deidara in the butt. "I can't believe you actually forgot that you broke your ankle."

Chaos shrugged. "When I'm laying down, it doesn't hurt and I can't feel the weight of the boot. It feels like it's not even there."

"By the way, how'd you fuck it up?" Vincent asked. He finished the slice of pizza and waited for Chaos's answer.

Sasori beat her to it. "Short people can't jump hurdles," he said, not lifting his eyes from her phone screen. Chaos scowled.

"Yes we can. Just because we're not giants doesn't mean we're not capable." She sniffed awkwardly. "Except for me."

Vincent smiled and shook his head. "You're such a goof."

"I want s'mores."

The group turned to look at Brise, who was pouting. Pein lifted a pierced eyebrow when Chaos hummed in agreement.

"What are s'mores?"

Vincent groaned, closing his eyes and throwing his head back. "You're guests lived under a rock, didn't they?"

Chaos smiled. "You can't really blame them, considering they're not from our world." Vincent opened his eyes and stared at her in confusion.

"What?"

Brise sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. "You know, you're just gonna confuse him when you explain it."

Chaos shrugged. "Too late now."

The girls explained to Vincent that their house guests were the Akatsuki, the protagonist of Naruto Shippudden. Chaos explained how they met and let Pein explain their current plans for getting back. Vincent was quiet for most of the time, letting out small chuckles during Chaos and Hidan's first mis-hap (he even asked for a re-enactment, to which Hidan went and hid Chaos's knives). By the time story time was over, he was nodding slowly.

"So, basically, Tobi fucked up and now you guys are stuck here?" A few of them nodded, and Tobi shouted an apology. Vincent snorted, breaking off into fits of laughter. "Damn, that's funny."

Kisame muttered a "not to us", which only made Vincent laugh louder. Soon, Chaos joined in, and that made Brise laugh too. The Akatsuki stared at them, annoyance written on their expressions.

"Oh my God," Chaos said, resting her head on Itachi's shoulder. She stared at Tobi. "Your misfortune is killing me. Please, unleash more unknown scrolls. Turn Hidan into a slug for all I care." Hidan yelled a 'fuck you' in response. She snorted and stretched her arms out in front of her. "So, s'mores?"

Brise cheered in excitement, pushing past Deidara and into the kitchen. she rustled through the cabinet and fridge, returning with chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers. "Hurry up!" she said happily. The group stood, Deidara laughing and jogging after her when she ran outside the back door to set the supplies on the outside table.

On his way out, Vincent grabbed a lighter, newspaper and lighter fluid. He followed them outside the back door, pulling the metal chairs to surround the fire pit. He set his possible weapons on the side of the fire pit before turning to look at the ninjas. "Okay-the faster you guys find some sticks and shit, the faster we can get started. We need at least ten, and they need to be longer than half your wingspan. Think you can handle that?" They nodded and, almost immediately, started setting up bets on who could find the most sticks that met the criteria in five minutes.

Chaos curled up into one of the metal chairs, staring at Vincent as he started a fire with some of the extra wood the girls kept behind the house. After he had gotten it started, he handed Chaos the lighter fluid with a look that said, "Have fun."

So she did.

"Holy shit, yeah!" Deidara yelled, watching the fire spark and grow as she sprayed some lighter fluid in it. He ran over to them and grabbed the bottle, squeezing the trigger and laughing in excitement when the fire reacted. Brise smiled at him and wound her arm around his waist, resting her chin on his shoulder.

"Don't put too much in or it'll make the marshmallows taste gross," She warned. he nodded and, after spraying the fire a few more times, set the bottle back down.

Brise let go of him and sat in the chair next to Vincent, who sat between Chaos and her. Deidara handed Brise two sticks that he had found, and Brise started sharpening them with one of Chaos's hidden pocket knives (she'd actually forgotten about them—she needed to keep better inventory on her weapons) so the could use them for s'mores.

The ninja's followed Deidara's example, bringing back various numbers of sticks. Thanks to Kakuzu and Kisame, they had way more than necessary, though Kisame still had to fork over twenty dollars because he was a few short.

"Where the fuck do you keep getting money?" Chaos asked, staring at the two with furrowed eyebrows. Kisame smirked at her.

"People in hospitals get distracted easily," he said, as if there wasn't anything else needed to be explained.

There wasn't, really.

"You pick-pocketed people while Chaos had a broken ankle?" Brise asked incredulously. Kisame shrugged.

"They made it easy. Anyways, at least I gave back their wallets, unlike a certain someone," Kisame said, sending a pointed look towards Kakuzu. He lifted his eyebrows.

"If they wanted to keep them, they should've been more careful."

Vincent laughed. "Can you imagine how many people are pissed off over that? You guys are fuckin' awesome." Kisame grinned and fist bumped him when he lifted his hand.

"You're pretty cool yourself."

Chaos stared at them, pausing in sharpening the sticks. Her multi-colored eyes widened before she cussed under her breath. Brise stared at her, her eyebrows furrowed before realization dawned on her.

"Chaos, that's weird," she scowled. Chaos shrugged.

"I can't help what I ship. It's like a disorder."

Vincent stared at her, nose curled up in disgust. "I may be gayer than a box of double rainbows, but I draw the line when it comes to fictional sharks," he said. He looked at Kisame and shrugged. "Sorry bro."

Kisame looked at the three, confusion written on his cute shark face. "What just happened?"

Chaos laughed. "Man, you don't even want to know."

"So," Konan asked, trying to figure out how to eat her s'more, "How did you three meet?" Vincent took it upon himself to answer, inhaling the rest of his s'more like an animal.

"Chaos met through middle school choir. She liked to fuck shit up and annoy the teachers, and I admired that trait of hers. She introduced me to Brise when we were juniors in high school, and we've been best bitches since that day." The group nodded slowly, a few laughing about the 'best bitches' part. Vincent shanked another marshmallow, setting it in the fire. He stared cooly at Pein and Konan, quirking a brow.

"Since you got to ask us a question, I have one for you; how long have you two been dating? Or are you married?"

Konan choke on a bite of s'mores and Pein choked on air, both falling into a coughing fit. It was kinda cute though, since Pein still patted her back in an attempt to ease her coughing.

Konan was the first to gain control over her breathing. "We're not dating."

Vincent's eyebrows furrowed. "Bullshit."

Chaos snorted and patted Vincent's back. She had gone into the kitchen to get the two a glass of water. She handed it to Pein before returning to her seat, which had been overtaken by Itachi. She shrugged and sat on his knee's, making sure it didn't make him uncomfortable before speaking. "I already tried, man. The two deny any feelings for the other, though it's obviously bullshit."

"Chaos," Pein said in a warning voice, making Chaos jump slightly. She smiled at him sheepishly and waved.

"Anyways," Brise laughed, taking her eyes away from the french braid she was doing with Deidara's hair, "I'm up for a little game of Spares." Chaos voiced her agreement happily, clapping her hands like a child and Vincent smiled and nodded.

Tobi looked towards Brise, his head cocked in confusion. "What's Spares?"

"It's basically our version of Truth or Dare. You pick truth or dare, and if you either don't want to tell the truth or the dare is awful," she gave a sharp look to Chaos, who shrugged, "You can chose Spare. Spare allows you to skip the question, but you don't get to go next and you can't talk until the person who asked the question tell you you're spared. We made it up one summer because Chaos kept triple-dog-daring anyone who picked dare to do a bunch of crazy shit that would've gotten us arrested or killed."

Every one turned to give Chaos an incredulous look. Once again, she shrugged and said, "I play to win, thank you very much."

Brise shooed Deidara out of her seat and he sat on the ground in front of her, eating a s'mores that Tobi made (he couldn't eat it without removing his mask, and didn't feel like getting that mess all over him) and leaning against her legs.. Around the fire sat (in this order) Brise and Deidara, Vincent, Chaos and Itachi, Kisame, Konan, Pein, Tobi, Kakuzu, Zetsu, Hidan, and Sasori.

Chaos clapped her hands. "I'll go first." She scanned the group, locating her first victim. "Hidan, truth or dare?" Hidan lifted an eyebrow at her. At some point since they went outside and now, he'd removed his tee shirt and socks. Chaos turned her nose up in disgust.

He was built well, but...it's Hidan.

Gross.

"Dare, bitch," he said, smirk evident in his voice. Brise rolled her eyes, muttering something about warning him.

Chaos smirked. "I dare you to cover your hand in lighter fluid and stick it in the fire for five seconds."

He grinned and stood up. "Fucking deal," he said, reaching for the lighter fluid. Brise's eyes widened and she grabbed the lighter fluid from his reach, hiding it behind her back.

"You're not about to make our back patio smell like burnt flesh, dare or not. Chaos, pick something else." The blonde pouted but didn't fight the taller girl on it.

"Fine. Hidan, I dare you to put your fucking shirt back on." He scowled at her and crossed his arms.

"Spare, bitch."

Brise slapped her forehead. "You were willing to burn you hand off but you won't even put back on your shirt?"

Hidan smirked. "Priorities."

Chaos threw her s'mores at him. "I haven't spared you yet, bitch." He scowled and threw the s'more at Tobi, effectively making it stick to his mask. Tobi jumped up and ran around the group screaming "it burns" at the top of his lungs. Cincent snorted and, when Tobi got close to him again, stuck his leg out, effectively tripping the other man. Tobi face planted into the grass, laying there for a good five minutes. Vincent nudged him with his foot.

"You dead?" he asked warily. Deidara snorted at that and soon, the whole group broke out in laughter.

"Oh, poor Tobi," Brise said between laughs as the older man stood up. "I'll help you out," she said, disappearing into the kitchen and returning with a yet face cloth and trying to scrub marshmallow of his mask.

Chaos took this chance to find her next victim. "Itachi, truth or dare?"

He pursed his lips. "Truth."

"Do you like it butt naked nasty or naw?" Chaos asked, turning to stare at him. Vincent snorted, covering the lower half of his face. Itachi looked mildly perturbed at her question.

"What in the world did you just ask me?"

She just smiled and hummed, "Answer the question, pretty boy."

"...No?"

She sighed in defeat, dropping her shoulders. "Damn."

That's how the majority of the evening went. Throughout it, Vincent had to fake-propose to Derek (Chaos's cactus), Kakuzu tried to throw Hidan into the fire pit, Chaos lost her shoes, Tobi went inside because Vincent scared him by telling him about Bigfoot, and two of their metal chairs were bent and badly misshapen.

Midnight rolled around and Vincent gathered up his stuff, stopping to give Chaos and Brise a ten minute long hug and sending a warning glare to Deidara and Itachi.

"If I hear of either of them getting knocked up, I'm coming for your asses. Do you understand?" Deidara nodded slowly, while Itachi stared down at Vincent, one eyebrow lifted perfectly. He took that as a yes and grabbed his keys from the side of the couch and smiled at everyone. "It was pretty sick meeting a shit ton of criminals. Take care of my girls, will you?"

Chaos plowed herself into his side , wrapping her arms around his waist. "You sound like you're dying. Stop that." He laughed and ruffled the top of her hair.

"Good night, everyone," he said. he opened the front door and closed it behind him. The sound of his car starting up made Chaos sigh. she grabbed Itachi and Kisame's hands and pulled them up the stairs with her.

"I'm physically and emotionally drained. Good night guys."

Brise laughed and walked up the stairs after them, Deidara following close behind her. "I'm tired too. Don't stay up too late, guys," she said, opening her bedroom door. Deidara closed it after him, pulling off his shirt and throwing into her hamper. She rummaged through her dresser, pulling out a clean tee shirt and shirts. She didn't wear makeup today, so she didn't have to worry about wiping it off.

"Turn around, Horn Dog," she said. Deidara chuckled and flopped onto her futon, burying his head into his pillow. She changed quickly and threw her clothes into her hamper, shutting off the lights and crawling onto the futon as well. She pulled the blankets up to her waist, turning her nose up in disgust as he rolled closer to her. "You smell like lighter fluid."

He laughed into her ear, burying his face in her neck. "Sorry, hm." He threw his arm over her waist and she linked her fingers with his, unbothered when his hand mouths moved slightly but didn't open.

"You know, it's kinda fun making Vincent worry." She turned to look at him in the eye. "You wouldn't mind him coming after you, right?"

He smirked. "Did you just inadvertently ask me to knock you up, un?"

She grinned and shrugged. "Maybe."

He chuckled and kissed the top of her head. "Go to bed, yeah."
