CHAPTER 1

"Sorry, Hannah. I cannot come with you on your trip to France this summer." You told your best friend sadly. "My parents have registered me to some sort of summer camp." It was the last day of school, and summer vacation would start the next day.

"Tell them you don't want to." Hannah suggested.

"The problem is they can't really cancel it anymore. They already paid, and there are no refunds."

"That stinks" Hannah said. "There's my house, will you write?"

"Most likely, unless it turns out 'camp' means Top Security Prison." You joked.

"You know where I'm staying right?"

"Sure do!" You held up the sheet where she had written the hotel's address. "I will send you mail if I can. I can't text or call because apparently I'm not allowed to bring electronics."

"I'll miss you!"

"Me too." You gave Hannah a good-bye hug then continued walking to your house. You would be leaving for Camp Akatsuki the next day, and have to finish packing your things. Akatsuki... The name of the camp even sounds intimidating. You thought back to the conversation. It DOES seem like the camp is actually a prison. The fact that no electronics were allowed enforced the idea. You unlocked the door of my house and let yourself in. Automatically, you made your way to the fridge to grab some cheese. Munching your cheese, you picked up the information form. It did not provide any information about the camp. Just where to find the bus that would take you to the campground, what not to bring, when you had to be there, that sort of useless crap. You finished the cheese and sighed. Time to continue packing. Toothbrush? Check. Pencil, paper and envelopes for writing? Check. Swimsuit just in case? Check. What else did you need? Oh, yes, food.

"They won't notice this missing," You grin as you shove a bag of chips into your backpack. Serves your parents right for not giving you a choice. They did not consider if you wanted to go to camp, they forced you into it, while you wanted to go to France with your best friend. "That should do it." you say to yourself, as you place a chocolate bar, or five, into your luggage. Good, there is still time before your parents come home. It would be a good time to post some last words. You logged in. Hannah was online, she sent you a message.

"And that may be the last time I get to chat with someone on the computer for the rest of the summer" You thought dully. "She had to log out so soon..."You looked at your contact list. Everyone was offline. You sigh and go downstairs to watch the last TV shows that you will watch all summer.

"All packed honey?" Your mother asked as the show ended.

"Yeah" you tell her. you continue watching shows randomly until your mom made you set the table and help her cook. She has an odd 'I can make you do things against your will' power. At least you were having something special for dinner because you would be gone for the rest of the summer. Seafood. Your mom is a genius at preparing seafood. You, on the other hand, can't cook to save my life, which is why you are only chopping vegetables.

"Dinner is ready" Your mom calls. Although you have no siblings, your dad always does who-knows-what in some unknown area of your house once he returns from work.

Dinner was rather quiet. You enjoyed the food and watched TV a bit more, only going to bed when my mom yelled at how you had to get up at five in the morning and needed your sleep. As you lay on your bed, you had the feeling that this would be the worst summer ever.

You were jerked out of your dreams at four thirty. If only you could have slept longer! You did not want to go to some accursed summer camp that you knew nothing dragged yourself into the shower. The warm water helped wash away the anticipation of a terrible summer.

"Hurry up, I can't wait forever." Your father yells at you.

"I'm busy!" You snapped at him. "Have you ever heard of privacy?"

"It is a bad idea to be rude to your driver. He might drop you off at the wrong place." You hear your father say. You seriously think that that would not be a bad idea, but decided to say nothing. You changed and went downstairs to have breakfast.

You were ready to leave at five thirteen. Perfect. An unlucky number to start an unfortunate summer. You helped your dad put your things in the car. You hoped that traffic would delay you so much that you would not be able to go to the camp after all, and that you would be able to join your best friend on her trip to France. Unfortunately, the traffic was good and you arrived at the gathering point. You cursed to myself and got off the car. Your dad helped you unload the bags. You put the backpack that has the snacks in it on your back.

"Oh, hello! You're the first youthful ones here!" A man cheerfully said. He was wearing a green jumpsuit. Wait... A GREEN JUMPSUIT?

"Well I'm leaving you here. Enjoy yourself." Your dad, who was back in the driver's seat, drove off. You wanted to yell "I FUCKING WON'T" at him, but dared not in front of the weird jumpsuit guy, who had very large eyebrows.

"Well, we will be waiting for a few more youthful people! But in the meantime let's run some laps!" The weird jumpsuit guy said. What happened to him? You wondered, as you watched him run. "Join me! Feel the YOUTH!"

"I would like to make sure my stuff does not go missing first."You told him. "Help me get the bags into the bus." You gestured to the bus where your bags were leaning against.

"The power of youth will help us!" The weird jumpsuit eyebrow man said, heaving the bags inside the bus and storing them on the back seats. "Now let's run!"

"No thanks um...mister...?"

"Gai. I am Mighto Gai." More like gay, you thought.

"Well, I want to sit inside and wait. Continue your uh... youthfulness without me." you explained, before going into the bus and choosing a seat near my bags.

"ANOTHER YOUTHFUL CAMPER HAS ARRIVED!" Gai joyfully announced. You looked outside. A girl, but what was her name? Gai also brought the girl's bags into the bus.

"Hi" she said to you. "I'm Konan."

"Hey. I'm nobody" you reply. Konan sat down beside you.

"I'm pretty sure that's not your name. Can you tell me what it is?"

"Oh, It's..._______"

"Okay." Konan paused. "Do you know anything about this camp?"

"No" You reply. "only what not to bring and where to meet."

"Oh, You was hoping you would know more."

"I don't."

"It's okay." Konan reassured you.

"I'm Deidara, Do you like Art? Yeah?" Asked a long-haired boy as he entered the bus with Gai, who was carrying his bags.

"Well, I like all kinds, I guess..." You reply thoughtfully.

"I like origami" Konan replied. Deidara sat in front of you two.

"Art is a bang, yeah." He cheered.

"Hn..." A soft grunt came from a boy with black hair.. "Itachi" said the same voice. He sat far away from everyone.

"Hello, Itachi" Konan greeted. Itachi did not reply.

"Well back to art, yeah." Deidara continued, as Gai carried more bags inside the bus. "So what do you think art is?"

"Well, I think art should last forever. I'm Sasori." He sat on the seat across Deidara.

"No, art should go out with a BANG!" you and Konan watched the argument until a shark-like man came in.

"Kisamae." He said nothing more. The bus was quiet for a while, then there was some... okay, a LOT of swearing coming from outside.

"And you can fucking say..." yelled a shirtless guy, who wore a necklace that had a triangle in a circle as he climbed on the bus.

"Hidan, Shut up!" Complained a Venus flytrap. Wait, a Venus flytrap?

"Don't tell me to fucking shut up Zetsu!" The shirtless guy, Hidan, yelled at the Venus flytrap, Zetsu.

"Shut up." Said someone. You could see all the piercings on his face. "Hi Konan." Everyone was quiet. He has the aura of an authority figure. No one dared oppose him.

"WHEEEE! TOBI IS HERE! TOBI IS A GOOD BOY!" An orange masked boy screamed, as he bounced on board the bus.

"Annoying" You hear Deidara mumble.

"He seems nice not." Zetsu contradicted himself. "He is annoying" "He is a good boy!" You looked at him, amused.

"wasting money..." Mumbled a boy in a mask, as he carried his bags. He put them on an empty seat and sat on his bags, mumbling all the while. "Kakuzu, Don't disturb me" He declared.

"We are all here! Time to go to the YOUTHFUL camp!" Gai announced. You looked at the people around you, taking everything in. These guys seem like an interesting group of people. With a little luck, they could help you survive total boredom. You looked out of the window as the bus began to move. You are now on your way to Camp Akatsuki.
