Itachi craved for Laura, he wanted to hold her against him again, he didn't want to let a village he was certainly not frightened of stop him from being with his beloved. The problem was he didn't want to start a big uproar, he never wanted to get Laura involved in anything of that caliber. Itching for her he decided he could not wait any longer. He headed to her home.

His vision blurred slightly from the use of his Sharingan, but he peered into her bedroom window hoping that she'd be home. Looking in he could see a figure resting in the bed, curled up into the sheets.

That had to be his beloved, longer hair, smaller figure. He sighed with relief, she was home.

Simply opening the door he entered into Laura's abode but now he could hear the shower running.

A wave of confusion hit him as he made his way to the bathroom door. He thrusted the door open and he made out the figure of Laura.

His eyes widened and he smiled. There she was, "Laura, I don't know about you but I had to see yo-" Itachi's suddenly remembered the other figure he saw curled in the sheets, Neji. His eyes gleamed red and he turned around.

Laura threw open the shower curtain and draped a towel around herself, "Itachi, don't go in there!"

If you'd like to read the other brilliant part of these all too funny readings hop over to [Arbor] and read!

Neji's mission was complete. His entire body was exhausted from his labor but he ached even more to see his Laura. He dreamed of just walking towards her, seeing her brillant eyes light up with joy and finally taking her into his arms and letting her know just how much she meant to him.

Laura was cuddled up with the pillow having sweet dreams of Itachi, reliving their moments together. She mumbled his name and snuggled closer to the fluffy goodness. "Itachi, I don't want to go to the amusement park this time, I don't feel like riding anything there, but, if you feel like you want to ride something you could always ri-"

It was at this time that Neji entered Laura's bedroom, he could hear her muffled voice saying something but he couldn't make out exactly what it was. He chuckled softly as he watched Laura grip the pillow tighter and attempt to kiss it.

"Poor thing must really have missed me. I should resolve this." He smirked and removed the pillow from her arms, Laura frowned and attempted to reach out for it, this time Neji filled her arms. Upon the warmth of an actual being Laura was shocked into awareness.

"Neji!" her voice was filled with guilt and worry.

"It looked to me like you were lonely? What were you saying, something about someone ridi-"

Laura's face flushed red, she was speaking outloud? She knew she had said Itachi's name several times, what if he had heard her, Oh God, it was not good to get the Byakugan holder angry at you, it could only lead to certain... intense pain. 

She was ready, read to see the veins align Neji's eyes to see his pupils and iris completely vanish to complete whiteness. Maybe it wasn't quite healthy for Laura to be so obessed with these eyes, they seemed to be rather deadly. 

Instead of the awaited pain that Laura was becoming prepared for she recieved a kiss, first on the forehead, then on the cheek, and a slow tantalizing one on the lips.

"I missed you too, my love." Laura's heart literally skipped several beats, and she began to get intoxicated with the sight of Neji, he was home. He hadn't realized she wasn't the one she'd been clamping onto.


"Laura, I know recently I've been aloof, it was simply because I was training for the mission, Hinata was going to be in it so Laura you know that I had to watch after her. It's my duty as a second branch."

Laura sweetly smiled upwards towards him and stopped him from speaking any further, "Don't worry about it, Neji. I completely understand. I knew you'd come back to me."

Neji swept down and kissed her wanting her to know just how much he had missed her. Suddenly he broke the kiss, "Laura, I did something for you."
Laura's eyebrows twitched in slight confusion.
"I made you one of my specialized home cooked meals, and of course," Neji blushed, "to drink I brought some ice cold pepsi cola."

Laura's eyes flickered with mischivous, "But Neji, that's not what I'm hungry for."
"Wha? But I worked so har-"

"Neji," Laura's voice was singsonged his name, "I'm hungry for you." She gripped him by his jacket and brought him downwards on the bed.

In between the passionate kissed Neji gave Laura he pondered outloud about placing the food away.

"Leave it," Laura instructed, "we're going to need our strength later." Clicking off the bedroom light Laura and Neji proceeded with a mission of their own.

3rd installment

Laura's heart was thumping rapidly, the excitement from Itachi was certainly breathtaking. Everything was moving at such a fast paced, Itachi was definetly the dangerous guy that she had always craved in Neji. The fear in her heart was still rampant, the two of them had continued to walk from the forest, nearly into the village when suddenly Itachi stopped.

"Laura." his voice was low.
Laura's heart skipped a beat, "Yes?"
"I have a better idea on what we can do," his eyes were full of malice, Laura watched as suddenly the iris on both of his eyes turned into a a field of red with a larger circle in the middle and three surronding it. 
"Oh shit, I'm going to die." Laura couldn't help but stare into Itachi's eyes, even though they held the purest of death waiting for her in them she felt drawn to the danger. He clamped his arms around her and smiled once again. Suddenly the two of them weren't near the forest or village, or anything around Konoha anymore they were in one of Itachi's illusions. Laura waited to see the horrid sight of Anakin whining that he was strong. But... that's not what happened. She twitched her nose realizing that a scent was filling it.... the scent of fair food. Cotton candy, hot dogs, gyros, french fries, all the greasy goodness that one can only get with amazing rides on a hot sunny day. Itachi grinned onec again at her, but this time it was of excitement, "Sorry no movie today, this causes less attention, plus there's a good thing about being at the fair in one of my illusions." Itachi paused. Laura shook her head slowly, "And what would that be, my dear Itachi?" "I thought you would have guessed, no lines."

The two of them spent the day together riding to their hearts content, only stopping twice so that Itachi could throw the contents of his stomach up into a waste basket that was oh so conviently beside the exit of every major rollar coaster there.

Towards the later of the evening they found themselves desiring one last ride to finish their wonderous date up, the ferris wheel in order to watch the sun go down. As the two neared the top the sun nestled into the underside of the hills and Itachi and Laura kissed. Music swept through the air, violins, flutes, the sounds of french horns, Laura's heart was filled with delight.

Laura nestled her head onto Itachi's shoulder and the cold beast himself placed his arm around her. "Oh Itachi," Laura whispered, "You've made everything so perfect. I wish we could stay here forever."

Itachi smirked, "You know we could, however, let's not spoil a good thing. It's time for you to go home now." Suddenly Laura was whipped away from the magical amusement park back into the wooded section near the village and not even a minute had passed from the time Itachi had brought the two of them to funky town. Itachi was no longer in sight, gone with the swirl of the eye. Laura clasped her hands over her heart in wonderment as she drifted into a daze towards her house. Upon reaching and tired from her day she went to her closet in order for her to grab her night garments. While digging around she saw her shrine to Neji. Laura smiled softly and brushed her fingers across the glossy cheek. Her eyes narrowed in determination as she straigtened up rushed off to the computer and quickly printed several pictures. Rushing back, she snatched up the tape and placed a new pictures up... these ones of Itachi. Her eyes widened as she realized she was going to need more closet space.

New installment

2 months later

Neji was ordered to go off on a B class mission with the other training genins. Sure enough Laura was getting bored with what had been placed in front of her and craved for something new, something dark, something more. Neji had been the black sheep of the group, gone his own way, with a 'heck care' attitude, yet he had changed. He had become one of the group, no longer wanting to be different but to help grow with the others. These past two months something weighed deeply upon her nerves, it was her eyes. Neji had perfect vision, he was able to see 360 degrees around him, except for one tiny spot, Laura always seemed to be in that position. In fact whenever she wanted to get Neji's attention he always seemed to have her in just the way that she would not be in sight. Laura wandered throughout the woods waiting for him to return, knowing that she would have to speak to him about her feelings. Her mind was not on the surroundings around her and she definitely didn't notice the dark and mysterious man waiting before her.
A dark chuckle arose from his throat and Laura shot her head in the direction of the noise, there standing before her was the dreaded Uchiha, Itachi. Laura took several steps backwards not knowing when Itachi would strike and kill her.
“Don't move,” Laura halted.
“What is your name, girl?” his voice mesmerized her and she complied in answering him, “Laura.”
Itachi grabbed hold of Laura's wrist and pulled her to him so their bodies were touching, “You, my dearest deserve,” he paused and pulled his other hand from behind his back and in a deep sensual tone he continued, “to have flowers.” The shock must have stopped Laura's heart, she was sure that a knife would have cascaded across her throat, her that she would be placed in a mental traumatizing event like watching Star Wars III over and over again for 72 hours. Gently she took the flowers from Itachi, they were slightly brown but considering who the flowers were coming from Laura had little room to complain.
“I have watched you from afar, Laura. Yearning to get you near, you've been around another some boy called Neji. He holds no bar to me, I could most certainly kill him with one glare of the eye. His b Byakugan holds nothing up to my Sharingan.”

Laura inhaled at the as she started into Itachi's eyes, she knew that he could see her, his eyes, with the level of his Sharingan astounded her and once again she found herself helpless... there was simply one more suggestion that Itachi needed to make before he would win her heart.

“I have a question for you Itachi, If you were to take me to see a movie, any movie.... what would it be?”
“The Chronicles of Riddick” of course.”

“Neji, I never knew that I would find you as attractive as I do. If only I had known what that Naruto quiz had told me oh so long ago we would have had so much more time together.” The woe in Laura's heart filled her to such extreme that tears started flowing from her eyes. Neji winced at the agony his one true love shown and he gently wiped the tears from her cheeks, “Why do you continue to beat yourself every day for what you did in the past, how could you have known that we would work so well together?” Laura's eyes widened, “The quiz, Neji! It knew you would bring me Pepsi products and that your eyes gave reason for my heart's beat to quicken! I laughed at first, I believed the coupling of Neji and myself to ridiculous I imagined a more sensible partnering of myself with Shikamaru, or even Kakashi, however, the you, Neji never... not once. But then, after I saw the results I admit, I laughed it off at first but I found myself thinking about it more and more. Surfing the web to locate images of your beauty, your eyes began to mystify me more and more. I said it was just because I started to find the niftiness of your character, at least, that's what I told all my friends, but they didn't know what I was really doing, that inside my closet, behind my shelf was a collage of your pictures. My own personal shrine. I found the Neji-lover inside of me and,” more tears swept down her face, “the fact that I denied you for this long tears away at me so!” It was at the time that Neji was wrapping his arms around Laura that her oh so cleverly hidden friend Lauren who had heard the last comment about Neji jumped around from the corner, pointed at Laura and shouted out, “I knew you were a closet-Neji lover!” 

Her eyes stared into a far away dream as she absentmindly chewed on her lip. This action seemed to be a particular habit that she had, her lip giving all evidence needed to prove the above statement with several red lines running across her bottom lip, showing exactly where she had chewed one too many times. A pencil rested in her right hand as she pushed herself to think of what to jot down next. Her own sigh broke up the silence of the air around her, exasperated she tossed the pencil down.

Writer's block had grasped hold of her for another day.

So.... I wasn't in the best of moods today. I mean, everything was really hectic and I was angry and kinda sad at the same time.

I suppose it shown on my face because this person came up to me and was like, "Lauren, are you okay?"

and I looked up at them and said, "Well, I'm not in the best of moods right now."

that person then continued to say, "Lauren, you can't be in a bad mood, the reason why I like you is because I don't have to deal with a sour attitude when it comes to you.... just kidding."

Does placing a "just kidding" at the end of a sentence leave you null and void for any effects you leave on the person you spoke them to? Yeah, how about no.

It angered me because she impied that I'm not allowed to be anything but an in some kind of upbeat mood.

Well fuck, I'm not very diverse or complicated at all, am I? Silly me for thinking I could feel something different.

I wasn't asking for a session, you asked me if I was okay, I answered. Sorry I didn't give the predisposed, fine.

whatever. I'm just huffy right now.

Meep, I'm sick.

It's funny to hear me speak because I sound so hoarse.

Heh Heh, you should hear me take sup calls -_-.

I cannot stop listening to Naruto songs O.O

Work has been so up and uppity. I mean, I knew when I took the position that I would have to take care of people, no problem, I can do that, however, like I informed Stephanie, these people will not wipe their own asses without you holding the toliet paper!

So, who knows.

Would you ever, in your entire life ask your boss out on a date.... when it's against the policy.

Yeah, I didn't think so.

So another question is, why is it when I'm nice to guys they're just like, yeah whatever. Yet, when I scream at you and rip you to shreads you ask to make up for me getting mad by taking me out to a nice dinner? O.o

Yeah, don't understand that.

Like I would even accept, I cannot date you! I would get fired! You are not worth my pay check, bucko.

hee hee, I told him that too.

I think I'm becoming a little mean. 0.0

Not that people don't deserve it.

I'm starting to like certain teamleads ^.^, we've been getting along, they're swell.

My head is foggy.

*bounces along to naruto music*

I suppose I should write in here a little more, I guess I've been feeling lazy. Nanowrimo finished and Laura and I ran across the finish line, our fingers flying across the keyboard :), it was an amazing feeling.

Last year I finished nanowrimo on my computer alone, it was so nice to have my friends around me this year. This past month has been a month and a half, or perhaps 2 months, I think my body has finally shut down from it because I seriously believe that I just slept two days away waking for a brief period to go to work.

This Nano ment the world to me, it was completely reconnecting. It seriously brought people together this year.

Laura has been a wonder through it all :), I'm, personally, quite proud of her. I hope she knows that she has the support of all her friends around her.

She flippin' pushed me to do Nanowrimo when I struggled to know the very people I wrote about.

I'm very thankful for that ^.^.

~*~*~*

On a different note, I'm listening to the beauty that is David Bowie. I love his voice.... ouu, I so almost typed out voicemail, I really don't like that. I need a vacation from my job, bleh bleh, fingers fingers.
~~~~

I have a new idea for a story that I'm going to be typing out, I'm wondering how far this is going to go, but I don't know, I like this one. I'll poke around with it for a bit.

~~~

I suppose I'll stop typing now, I just feel as if I have more to say...

50212 thus far ;), that would be my current level of nanowrimo words. Makes me all happy and googily in side, Laura hit it ^.^ she finally made her goal ;).

So the group has been DDRing like mad crazy and oh has it been fun. I'm so excited about how every thing is going. Everything seems to be looking upward.

On a weird note...


I was coming out of quality uptraining today and my floor supervisor, Jackie, grabbed my shoulder, and I'm not saying you know, just like gentle grab, I'm saying tightly squeezing into my flesh to get me off to the side. 0.0

I had no clue what to exect, least of all what she actually said.

would you like to what she said?

^.^, she was like.... "I heard a rumor about you." my eyes widened and I attempted to look up at her as she continued to grasp my shoulder, "Oh yeah?" was my simple reply.
"Yes, I heard that you do tarot." she actually pronounced it correctly ^.^.

I laughed and affirmed that I did read, she continued on, "yes, but I heard you were fantastic about it, you know someone told me." first of all, who is talking about me, second of all, how did I get brought up into a conversation?! bah, what if she was one of those people who are snooty about those kind of things...

well, she was like, "I read palms as well, I heard you read those too?" I once again affirmed.

"I heard your fantastic at that as well." I laughed because, well, I don't know what to say back...should it have been something like, oh yeah, I really am superb? :-p.

 Anywho she was like, I would love you do give me a reading, she went on and one about how she use to do readings but she's gotten out of it now because she just hasn't had the time and she's wanted to open up a store and she talking about how her and I would make great business partners and blah blah blah and she's a scorpio and she blah blah blah and wacky stuff and she said that she just can't seem to push herself to go through with it and she wants a reading concerning the blockage to see if there is anything she could do about it. So I was like... uhm, alright. No problem.

I told Jessica and she jumped to her wanting Jackie to read her palm -_-.

I don't know, Jackie just doesn't seem like the kind of person who I would trust reading my palm.... she's kinda, well, ditzy.

but that was a weird adventure.....

she said she'd make me brownies if I read her palm...

I don't really like brownies...

-_-


The cheese is in full bloom tonight.

So Strowie called me today, I wasn't expecting it, my nose was stuck in numbers, hundreds of numbers. Phone numbers at that. Not the most fun :-p :), however, the phone rang and it was a blocked call. So my first thought was that it must be Sarah, Stephanie's friend. I picked it up and was expecting to get into some silly talk about hookers and prostitution and me working the corner that night but it was Stroh.

Right away she sounded down and I asked her what was up and she strated telling me about Aaron. A flame of anger ignites through my body while writing that above sentence. She told me everything that's been going on and such.

She's going to talk to him, I think, I hope about how she's feeling. She wants the relationship to change, she doesn't want to leave him, but it seems like he's looking for an excuse to leave.

She's been having it rough lately. But eventually I got to cheer up a pinch and we laughed about certain things, I told her about what's been going on in my life.

She asked me about a certain someone *blush* and I told her what was going on with him and why I was worried about him. I insisted that she meet him sometime and she said she'd like to come to BW3 this upcoming Tuesday, as long as there's not a race she might need to attend to. Then she asked if I'd make an appearence with her at the car show her boyfriend is going to earlier that Tuesday, which I said I would.

Switching topics, the parents are up at the lake this weekend, they snatched my sister with her. Jake and I have been sharing the house. He's upstairs in his room though, lol, and I get the rest of the house. So it's been relaxing. I ordered us chinese for lunch and he went ahead and ordered pizza for dinner... me stuffed x_x.

It was raining earlier and I took a walk in it, oh it was fabulous and exhilerating.

I can hear Jimmy Stewart declaring his love for Margaret Sullavan in the background. It's his star of the day for TCM. Rear Window'll be on later ^.^, so will Vertigo. Ouu, which makes me want to go watch it because I just remembered the ending to Vertigo.

Life is the wheel of fortune. It has it's ups and downs. The wheel keeps spinning and eventually you'll find yourself on the bottom, then again, you'll spin around back to the top in the end. That's how the wheel goes, right?

Spin me round' wheel I'm ready for a new direction.

Tomorrow is Friday and that makes me a happy camper ^.^. It's my last day of the 5 weeks of training, which I'm ready to throw my arms up and dance around crazily. In fact, I most likely will. ;), just watch me.

So tomorrow is the big fun day even though I'm not exactly sure what my friends and I are planning to do.

I'm so excited about actually giong productive, I really do feel like I handle this. (There is good reason for uncertainty with all the crap they try to shove in your head)

Yesterday I wrote my own myth. A creation myth. I posted it as a private entry. I think it's nifty, but I want to edit it more.

I'm listening to a song called Dancing Gypsy, it's quite beautiful.

Hmm, I'm going to find something to occupy me.

Well, my parents came back from New York today. I walked into the living room (I was sleeping when the arrived) and waved and said, "Hey Uumes (I call my mom that, no it's not her first name, it's just something I've always called her) "Hey Dad" My mom didn't even turn to me, she just stared straight ahead, Dad (who is very hard of hearing) followed, they both had these grumpy looks on their faces. Knowing what I know about what happened yesterday I can understand. Finally after me going like, "Uumes? Uuma...Uumes, MOM!" She paid attention. She kinda half-smiled and I asked her how she was, she told me about her trip, dad finally noticed and said, "Hi Woo!" "Hey Dad, how are you doing?" "I'm good, I'm good." "I'm glad to hear that" Then mom was like, I got you something ^.^.

You have to understand how happy it made me to know I got something because... well that just doesn't happen a lot, so I was really grateful to hear it ^.^. Mom got me this beautiful pink purse, that cost 5 bucks, lol and a New York t-shirt. Which I just thought was pretty nifty.


I start production this Saturday, so I'll be working overtime, which, I really don't mind. I'll need that extra pay. But, I'm pretty excited, Chris, Alicia, and myself are forming an uber Friday... which I'm going to take them all out for dinner or something, maybe a nice movie, I don't know but I felt we all needed to do something fun together. I can't stay out too too late since work,but later than usual since I'll be able to sleep in until 8 (2 hours really are a blessing).

On Saturday Alicia and I are suppose to do something, so that makes me happy since we don't get to hang out as much as usual. I'm going to force her to play the SIMS 2, mwhahaha.

Over the weekend I kitty-sat for Gaiana and Adam. That was fun :), her cats are wonderful, and Chris got to stay with me for that. So we had a blast all weekend listening to music, cleaning up a bit, and enjoying the enviroment of peace. ^.^

At this moment I feel so sleepy I could fall asleep right here on my computer chair, but it would best serve my interest if I actually got myself up and clothed properly for work I don't understand why I can't answer phones in swishy pants and a mario extra life t-shirt, do you? Nada me either.

I need to drink something with an uber amount of sugar, I don't even know why I attempted to stay up, I always end up regretting it in the morning (when my eyes are puffy and can close up easier to sleep -_-) I'll tryto get through somehow :-p

Sleep away sleeping people! And let yourselves know that you are lucky, for all I really want at the moment is just a couple more hours to lay in bed.

Hello lovely diary, this would be my first entry and I really don't have anything to say right now. It's Valentine's Day. That holiday never really meant anything much to me, I always felt like love should be given on everyday and just exceptionally more on one day... I just never understood that.

I have to go to work in morning, early morning, this is the last week of my 5th week of training, so yay. I'll be finished with that soon and then start my 12:30 -8:30 shift, which kinda stinks since it's not early and eats up a crap load of your day.

My parents are in New York right now, they'll going to see the David Letterman show tomorrow evening, Dr. Phil is going to be on. Poor Mom and Dad. For everyone to look out for my dad, he looks like Santa Claus. Seriously, and if he can he'll be the one singing, "I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch". *shakes head* I can only imagine. Lol, I'm going to have to stay up and see it, Phil or no Phil.
