A/N- I do not own the Akatsuki or any Naruto characters that I might put in. I only own the ideas for the plot. I know ItaxKo is an unusual pairing but it was worth it.

Itachi stood before the large doors of the school building before him. The large gray and white building had a sign on it reading Akatsuki High. Itachi had just transferred there from Konoha High. It was going to be a hard year, but the hardest thing was going to be making friends. Darn, thought Itachi. Why'd I have to go here? I heard this is where all the wannabes go! Man, I should've just gone to Konoha High! Itachi kept on thinking thoughts along those lines until he saw her.

A pretty blue haired girl stood on the steps of the school, chatting to a bunch of girls around her. She was wearing a cheerleader's uniform and it looked like it was made especially for her. The skirt was cut a little short though. Man, what a beauty, his hormones said. Shut up, puberty, his logic replied. Hey, look at her! It's obvious she was-Never! His brain interrupted his hormones in full swing. To stop having conversations inside his head with his hormones, Itachi looked away from the girl to examine the monsters he would be going to school with.

To his left, was a red haired boy with... puppets sticking out? Okay, definitely not hanging out with him, thought Itachi. Not surprising that all of the kid's around the red haired boy were giving him a wide berth.

All of a sudden, Itachi felt a hand tap his shoulder. He turned around to see a Goth kid seizing him up and holding out a hand to him. The guy had dark brown hair, dark brown skin and eyes that gave Itachi the creeps. Maybe he got plastic surgery or something to make his eyes an unusual grey-green and pupil less.

"Care to support the school through donations," said the raspy voice of the Goth.

"Ummm," Itachi was confused about whether or not he should actually fork over some money. He was about to hand over the cash when someone stopped him. It was the pretty girl from before.

"Pay no attention to Kakuzu. He asks for donations to the school, but really he puts the money in his own bank account. All of us know that, so he picks on new students to make them part of his funds. My name's Konan. I can show you around if you want me too." Even her voice was pretty.

"Konan, this time I'm really collecting donations for Akatsuki High. The principal asked me to run the school store." Was it just Itachi's mind or could he see the faintest trace of a blush on the boy's cheeks?

"You're kidding right? Since when would the principal put you in charge of the store? You'd pocket all the profits!"

"Mr. Nara thinks that I can handle the money matters better than anyone else, since I mentioned to him that I manage my own bank accounts. Besides, I know how to save on cash and drive a hard bargain. So I ask you what better person?" Now Kakuzu sounded mad. Although, when he got mad, all he really did was get calmer. Or, at least that's what it seemed like.

Slowly backing away from the arguing cheerleader and now promoted manager of the store, whatever that might be, Itachi continued the examination of his fellow students.

"Hey would you still like to take me up on my offer? I'd really enjoy it! And by the way, what's your name?"

"My name's Itachi. I'd love for you to show me around the school, Konan!" Even Itachi himself thought he sounded a little overexcited. Then the intercom buzzed on.

"Uchiha Itachi, please report to the principal's office immediately."

"Well, I'd better go. See ya later Konan!" Itachi walked off just to get lost trying to find the principal's office.

For those of you who wondered why Itachi's last name is in front of his first name, it's because I am trying to imitate the traditional Japanese way of saying someone's name. I found that out by watching subbed Naruto Shippuden.
