A/N: I can explain. Or, er… Actually, I don't think I can. The gist of everything is I was addicted to Diablo II as a child & was recently re-addicted & that is why I haven't been writing. At all. Like, anything. Mostly we're all getting pumped up for Diablo III, which comes out in January (right? I'm pretty sure…), which is kind of ridiculous, but I'm having too much fun to care. Now if only my baby would let me actually SAVE THE STUPID GAME SO MY ASSASSIN WOULD LEVEL. (Oh, yeah, Sakura's screaming? Totally based off how I play. I am a loud gamer. Legit.)
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Diablo II. The end.

"AH. AH. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Itachi jolted up from the couch and tumbled to the wooden floor, shocked awake by his girlfriend's screams in the other room. Panicking and only half awake he scrambled to his feet, nearly tripping over a book in the doorway in his haste. "Sakura," he called out, mentally running through the list of thing that could make the usually tough pinkette scream like that. "Sakura are you okay-"

Sakura sat curled about her laptop at the kitchen table, clicking furiously at a mouse attached to the USB port, face about an inch from the screen. She had a headset on, microphone in front of her pursed pink lips, and she was still screaming. "KILL IT, DAMMIT, KILL THE BASTARD, SASUKE! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Itachi froze completely, his brain still not fully awake as he took in the sight. Slowly, as if he wasn't quite sure the ground would hold his weight, he walked over to his oblivious significant other to peek at what exactly she wanted his younger brother to kill. Unfortunately for him he didn't recognize the game on the screen at all; not it's dark cave background or the figures running across the screen, a scantily clad blond chick followed closely by a mob of blue demon-like monsters with spears. He blinked, confused.

"Sakura?" He tried again, nudging her shoulder cautiously with one finger. "What's going on?"

"AH, SHIT," Sakura screamed, jumping up in a moment of fright. She whirled on Itachi for second to glare at him before she quickly turned back to the screen, ensuing in more furious clicking. She did however knock the headset down around her neck, so she could hear him when he spoke next. "Whaddya want, 'tach," she snapped, obviously annoyed.

"What are you playing?"

Sasuke's voice snapped out of the headset suddenly, interrupting anything Sakura was about to say. "Fuck it, Sakura, I can't find you. What the hell direction are you in anyway?"

Sakura lowered her mouth to the microphone for a second, snapping out, "north, dipshit," quickly before she started to answer her boyfriend, still terse and glowering. "It's Diablo II, 'tach, don't you recognize it? Sasori plays it too."

Itachi racked his mind for a moment, faintly recognizing that, yes, Deidara had been bitching about Sasori's addiction to the computer game, mostly because the blond preferred video games on the TV instead and so the redhead refused to play with him. He spent a moment watching silently from over her shoulder, listening to Sasuke and Sakura try and figure out where the hell each other was before his curiosity really kicked in and he sat down.

Smartly, however, he waited until the monsters were all dead before speaking again. "Sakura," he murmured, brushing a stray piece of hair away from her face so he could see her eyes, "could I play too?"

Sakura blinked, her mind momentarily made stupid as it always was when she met her gorgeous boyfriend's gorgeous dark eyes. When the words sank in her eyes widen in childish glee and she bounced a bit, mood suddenly spun right round. "You want to play? Ohhhh, Itachi, it's so much fun!" She snatched up the microphone and shoved it back on her head, finger clicking across the keyboard at lightning speed. "Sasu-babe, Naru-boy, I've gotta hit town so I can set up this shit on 'tachi's baby, kay?"

"Wait, what the hell? Sasuke's super scary brother's going to join us? NOOOO, SAKURA, HE'LL KILL US ALLLLLLLLL!"

"Shut the hell up, Dobe; I'm getting really fucking tired of you screaming in my ears!"

"BUT TEME, YOUR BROTHER WILL KILL US ALL! HE'S IN LEAGUE WITH DIABLO, REMEMBER? REMEMBER?"

Sakura rolled her eyes and clicked a button that made a swirling blue portal appear on her screen. Clicking her mouse several times at a much more sedate pace than before, she made her character, the scantily clad blond, run through it and into a stone walled town. After that she pushed the headset off her head and onto the kitchen table, grabbing Itachi's hand up in her own and smiling. "C'mon," she giggled, leading him away from the faint sounds of her bickering best friends energetically, "let's go get your laptop and the CDs to get you started."

They spent the next couple hours curled up together on the couch with their individual laptops, fighting the demons of Hell and powers of Evil in the forested and cavernous areas outside the stone walled town. Naruto, a barbarian, and Sasuke, a necromancer, welcomed the help with no little amount of bitching, though they ended up needing it extensively. They however left a little while after Sasori, another necromancer, joined them. He stayed for an hour before his job called him in for the night, leaving Sakura's amazon and Itachi's assassin alone with a forest of undead and spiders.

At two am Itachi finally saved and exited, having enjoyed the game much more than he first expected. Curled into his side Sakura lounged, already asleep, laptop half off her knees. Quietly he saved and exited her game too, shutting off both laptops and setting them on the ground before he took the petite girl up in his arms.

"Good night my little demon slaying amazon," he murmured into her hair as he situated them both on the couch until they were comfortable enough to sleep. "Dream of the day when we'll conquer Hell itself and set the world free…"
