My head... So much pain. Why was it always my damn head? I slowly opened my eyes, sitting up with my hand on my forehead. This wasn't my room. Soon enough I recognized it as Itachi's room. I checked whether I was wearing clothes or not. To my... Dismay? I wore clothes.

I noticed my stomach growling, but I felt way too lazy to stand up now. The door opened, there stood the Uchiha with food. "Did you hear my stomach by any chance?" I asked quietly as he walked towards his bed. He sat down, handing over the breakfast.

"Morning." A big smile appeared on my face. I without to eat without wasting another second. "Good morning." I said while chewing on the amazing food. "How are you feeling? After tonight." Itachi asked. I barely noticed the concern in his voice. "Now that you- The food is here. Yes!" I said with a bright smile on my face.

My smile vanished. "Only a little headache." I spoke, less excited. "Right." Itachi whispered as he gave me some pills. I looked between the pills and him in disbelief. "Painkillers." He explained further. "Wow! How thoughtful of you." I mumbled as I took them. I continued with eating. I gave Itachi some of my food, since he didn't have anything to eat.

"I didn't do anything strange yesterday, right?" I asked a little worried about being wasted. "You cried over Deidara-san drinking alcohol." Itachi said without any judgement. "Young motherfucker." I cursed. "I get emotional when I'm drunk." I laughed. When I was sober, I ignored my emotions, so it just makes sense that I was sensitive once alcohol influenced me.

"Why were you drunk in the first place?" He wondered. Why was he suddenly so interested in me? I rolled my eyes. "Promise you won't tell." I said in a serious tone. If I wanted him to trust me, I had to show him that I trusted him first. The Uchiha nodded. "Narutoismycousinandidon'twanttohurthim.He'smyonlyfamilyleft,butIcan'tbetrayyouguyseither." I said, really fast. He looked at me thoughtful. "That's a difficult situation. You have to betray the Akatsuki if you want to keep him safe." I was shocked. "You understood me?" I asked as he nodded. 

I crossed my arms in front of my chest. "What did I say then." This was impossible. I never met someone who understood my fast rants. "Naruto-kun is your cousin and you don't want to hurt him, but you can't betray us either." I found my soulmate. I looked down at my hand, but noticed soon enough that we weren't in a Soulmate AU. My hopes were crashed.

After putting away the plate, I let myself fall forwards. My head laying now on Itachi's lap. "What shall I do wise Itachi-san?" I whined like a little kid. "Do you really care so much?" He asked as if I was being dramatic. "Yes!" I shouted. "Sabotage the mission when we have to go capture him." Itachi spoke. There was only one reason why he joined the Akatsuki. He couldn't careless about the organization's goals.

Being surprised, I sat up again. "Wow. That's actually smart. Thank you, dear!" I said with a soft smile, kissing his cheek. Afterwards jumping up. "I'm gonna make you dangos for that." He didn't say anything, being somewhat speechless. I leaft with a smirk on my face. "I totally have a chance." 

I annoyed him for months. Always forcing him to do something with me. Well, out of my perspective, I forced him. In the end, he never actually told me to leave him alone. But him being quiet every time we talked made me believe he was annoyed. Then I realized that he just needed time. Me being presistent was the only reason why he now started conversations too. I didn't know it, but he was glad that I kept on bothering him out of all people.

-------i don't know what to say-------

Carrying the food I just cooked, I noticed Sasori and Deidara, who made their way to the exit. "Do you have a mission?" I asked as they turned to me. "Yes, we need to recruit a new brat." Sasori informed me. My mouth formed to an 'o'. "That's cool!" I exclaimed, excited for the new member.

"By the way, I didn't forget about you drinking sake, Deidara-san." Blondies eyes widen, he walked away without saying another word. Sasori rolled his eyes, because of how pathetic his partner was acting. "Goodbye, Y/n-san. I apologize for not being able to stay for lunch." He said, leaving now too. "Be careful and don't die!" I yelled after the puppet.

We all ate lunch together. For once it was quiet, no one talked. Deidara was usually the one making conversation. Well, he argued with either Sasori or Hidan. Sometimes even Itachi. All in all, blondie was the one who made most noises when we ate together. Hidan followed soon after.

That was the reason behind my suspicion. The Jashinist didn't say a single word today. An hour later I found out that my ramen were gone. I frowned while closing the fridge. The chakra I spent to get those damn Ichiraku ramen, was insane. And now someone, or should I say Hidan, ate my ramen.

I bursted into Konan's room, she was laying on her bed. "I need my partner in crime." I said as I slammed the door shut. Konan smiled, being quite amused by my anger. "What happened?" She wondered. "That immortal motherfucker stole my ramen. So we'll burn his room down." I explained. She wasn't too fond of my idea. "Ok... Let's think about a few other punishments before settling on one." By now she knew how to handle my anger.

Each of us was forced to wake up, only to get scolded by Pain. Someone set Hidan's room on fire and now no one would admit that they did it. "I bet Hidan did it by himself." Kakuzu mumbled. He was way more annoyed than usual. "I bet the bitch did it!" Hidan yelled, pointing at me. "Why would I do something stupid like that? My room's right next to yours." I questioned. The reason behind me being so annoyed, was that I was tired. I didn't get much sleep. I spent too much time, setting Hidan's room on fire.

"You want revenge, because I ate your ramen!" He exposed himself. I looked at him, furious. Hidan gulped and took some steps back. "What?!" I held up a fist to make him feel threaten. "Nothing! You probably didn't do it anyway. Go back to sleep." He quickly corrected his behaviour. "That's what I thought." I mumbled as I took Konan's wrist to drag her with me. Me being furious was whole act. Therefore I was as calm as ever after leaving the room.
