Me: Hello! (dodges fruit thrown and random fans stabbing me with pitch forks.) I have atonement for that horrible "Me, my friend and Akatsuki!" Ending! A re-write of the last chapter and.... A SEQUEAL!!!! Enjoy!
Chapter 1: High school blues
"Shenori!!!" Abby whined as they waited together at their bus stop in a town located in northern Michigan. The weather was cold and cloudy and overall miserable, it had no positive affect on Abby's dark, emo mood. "I feel like I'm spiraling down into a pit of hopelessness as the faint ray of happiness fluttering upon the wings of a butterfly, fluttering away to the garden of eternal happiness whose gates are forever locked to me."
"What the heck are you talking about!?" Shenori exclaimed. "Why are you so... emo? Your not emo."
"Sometimes when I'm depressed I speak in emo/goth poetic ways." Abby explained. "Hey! The bus is coming!"
"Thank heavens." Shenori cheered as the warm, heated bus come to a shaky stop in front of them. "I'm sooo cold."
"You know what?" Abby asked as they walking into the bus.
"Whaaaat." Shenori whined, she was not in the mood to deal with Abby's crazy stories.
"I have a horrible feeling about today!" Abby shouted with glee as flowers and rainbows radiated from her body. Shenori ignored this and took her seat, Abby slipped in next to her and started to air drum a beat on the seat.
(later at school)
Millercreek High school was your run of the mill high school. It had every single stereotype click and like the majority of high schools in America it was big on football and weak in everything else. The school-much to Abby's distaste-was over populated with jocks and snobbish cheerleaders, on the flip side it supported a healthy nerd and geek population cuz was all know that a jocks favorite food is book worms.
The school had a insane, tyrannical principle and run of the mill teachers. It was a normal school, until that day that is...
"The first day of High School..." Abby said dreamily as she and Shenori walking through the large front doors.
"You're excited?' Shenori asked, shocked.
"Nope! I'm still can't believe that I'm now a high schooler!"
Shenori only sighed as she pulled out her schedule, she was hoping for a normal, quiet day though she knew that was just impossible considering Abby was in all of her classes and would therefore sit next to her in each and every one. Alas... their first day of high school was not to go as planned.
"Would Arielle Beige and Abby Garbini please come to the main office." The voice of the female secretary came over the loud speakers.
"OMG!" Abby exclaimed. "This has to be a record! Sent to the office after three minutes!"
"I don't think this is something to be happy about?" Shenori sighed as she pulled out the school map, "lets go..."
While they walked to the office Shenori noticed that Abby hadn't said anything in the a long while. "Is something wrong?" She asked, not knowing if she wanted an answer or not considering the last time she asked Abby what was wrong she got a emo poem in response.
"I've been thinking about them..." Abby hung her head as they walked, staring at the floor. "We were with them for nearly a year... and yet... when we came back here no time had passed at all."
"You're the one that wanted to check on our family and stuff..." Shenori trailed off, she also thought about them. "And now we can't get back."
"We can't even use our jutsu here..." Abby sighed as she ran through the hand signs to perform a simple lightning jutsu, a sad look appeared in her eyes when nothing happened.
" I still think this is your fault..." Shenori said sharply as they walked into the main office. Abby said nothing as Shenori talked to the secretary. They were directed into the vice principles office down the small hall.
"Take a seat." A oddly familiar voice said to them from behind a tall backed swivel chair. Shenori and Abby took their seats in the over stuffed arm chairs.
"You wanted to see us sir?" Abby asked politely.
"I did, Shenori... Tally Mai." The voice said calmly. Abby clenched the side of her seat as he did so.
'How the heck dose he know that name?' she thought, paniced 'The only people that know me by that name are Shenori and...' "Leader-sama?" Abby whispered, Shenori jumped from her seat and spun the vice principles chair around to face them. A gasp escaped both girls lips as Pein smiled at them.
"Hello girls, good to see you again."
After a few minutes of explanation Abby and Shenori knew all about the enemy ninja infiltrating the school and targeting them.
"Wow... I'm targeted! New experiences!" Abby cheered as she jumped up and down in her seat, Shenori and Leader sweatdroped.
"Since it's too late to make it to your first period class I'll send you guys to your next class."
"Hey Abby," Shenori nudged Abby in the ribs as they left Leader's office. "Is this what you were talking about, how today was going to be a horrendously horrible day?"
"How is meeting Pein-kun again horrible?" Abby asked as she skipped in pace next to Shenori. They rounded a corner and showed their passes to the security guard and continued down the empty halls.
"No, something really, really bad will happen!" Once again flowers and rainbows radiated from Abby's body.
"You know..." Shenori said thoughtfully, "Now that I think about it, that things you say will happen... happen... are you seeing the future or something?"
"What if I could control reality!" Abby exclaimed as she tried to turn a locker into candy.
"Then again I could be wrong..." Shenori sweatdroped as Abby tripped on the staircase they started to climb.
"Why do you ask?" Abby prodded, looking for their next class.
"Well... these strange things have been happening to me lately...."
"Like what?"
"Well I can smell things really well and I can run faster..."
"Maybe we still do have our chakra!" Abby said excitedly. " Let's talk about it later, here's our class."
Abby boldly opened the door and walked in "Sorry we're late!" She sang out in a sing-song voice. "But we had scheduling problems..." Abby trailed off as she saw the familiar orange mask suddenly appear in front of her and pull her into a break neck hug.
"That's okay! Tobi doesn't mind! Tobi forgive you!" Tobi said as he lunged to hug Shenori who wisely stepped out of the way. Tobi beckoned the two girls closer and whispered in their ears all secret like "Tobi isn't supposed to let others know that Tobi knows you so Tobi has to "act" like he doesn't know you! So don't be confused when Tobi asks your name!"
"I got it!" Abby whispered back, giving him a big thumbs up.
"Okay!" Tobi exclaimed as he stepped back. "What are your names?"
"I'm Abby Garbini!"
"Arielle Beige, but call me Shenori."
"Okkies! Tall- I mean Abby! Shenori! Please take your seats!"
And so class went by without a hitch, Shenori was only slightly disturbed that Tobi was teaching the class considering that they were going to talk about the reproductive system later that year and she was pretty sure that Tobi never got the talk, at least to her knowledge he didn't.
For the rest of the class period Tobi just sat at his desk eating candy and playing word games with the other Freshman, he even shared his stash with everybody when class let out.
"Man, Tobi as health teacher is going to be awesome! Oh by the way watch your step." just as the warning left Abby's mouth Shenori tripped over some dropped books and fell. Abby graciously let her up and hummed as if nothing happened.
Luckily for Shenori they made it to their next class filled with computers without worry and took their seats.
"Hey..." Abby said in her chair, sitting at the computer next to Shenori. "Where's the teacher?... wait never mind..."
"What... oh don't tell me." Shenori slapped her head. "It's one of them isn't it..."
"Yep." Was all Abby said as she logged into the computer.
"You have been acting weird," Shenori stated. "It's like you can see-"
"The future?" Abby finished for her, giggling. "Yeah I can see the future."
"wait a sec!" Shenori turned to face her friend, deeply in shock. "Have you known this the entire time?"
"Nope!" Abby smiled. " I just found out."
"But how?"
"I saw it, you'll find out later... lunch in fact, turn around "teacher" is about to walk in, in 5... 4... 3... 2..."
"Okay! Listen up!" Kakuzu growled as he stalked into the room, slamming the door shut. "I don't want to be here and I'm sure you don't want to be here either so shut up and do as I say and everything will be peachy. If you want to ask a question you must pay me-"
There were shouts of protest and shock at this, one brave student asked if he was serious.
"Yes I'm serious!" Kakuzu growled as he glared holes into the student. "Now don't interrupt me again or you will have to pay me. As I was saying, if you have a question you must pay me, if you want to use the bathroom you must pay me, if you want to goof off you have to pay me and if you give me any trouble you have to pay me."
"You can't do this." One snobbish girl said. "It's against school rules and it's stupid." The girl screamed in shock as Kakuzu suddenly disappeared and reappeared right next to her.
"I'm only going to give each and every one of you one warning. After that you have to pay and if you tell any one about this then you will pay, and not just money."
After this no one spoke out, and for the rest of the class Kakuzu talked from one thing to another , basically it was average first day of school stuff only no one dared to talk for that cost money as well.
"Well that was fun!" Abby cheered as they walked out but not after Abby gave Kakuzu a bright warm smile. "I wonder if all the Akatsuki are teaching our.... never mind..." Abby laughed as she saw the future.
"Who's teaching our next class after lunch?" Shenori asked curiously.
"You'll see..." Abby snickered as she ran away from Shenori.
"Gah! Abby! The lunch room is the other way!" Shenori cried after her friend but atlas... she was too late, Abby was already gone. "Oh well... I'll just get lunch without her."
"Hey!" A short girl with dirty blond hair called out to Shenori.
"Hey Zen" Shenori sat down next to her middle school friends.
"Where's Abby?" Zen asked, looking around for the spunky brunette.
"Ran off somewhere..." Shenori said as she ate her chips, guarding them from her friends snatching hands. "At least no she can't steal my potato chips."
Meanwhile with Abby...
"Oh man am I hungry..." Abby whined as she crawled through the halls, her lack of food has brought her to this weakened state. "Need... food..." Abby outstretched her hands to the heavens as her vision faded... "I don't think... I'm... going... to... make it..." Abby had given up all hope when a hand suddenly grasped hers. "Who?" Abby looked up only to see the hottest guy she had ever laid eyes on.
"Hello" He said politely, his black bangs, brushed his forehead. Abby noticed his brilliant purple eyes and shaggy, yet luxurious hair.
"You are too good looking to be real." Abby said simply as he pulled her up onto her feet. He cocked his head to the side in a cute sort of manner, a perfect eyebrow raised.
"Why do you say that?" He asked, his voice a nice light soprano.
"Well..." Abby stuttered shyly. "The only good looking guys that are not jerks or gay are only in animes and animes are well.... not real sadly."
"So you're saying that if I was real then I would be a total jerk, and what jerk would help a lady as pretty as you up and if I was gay then why would my heart be beating so far from just looking at your beautiful eyes." He said smoothly, his hand still holding Abby's.
"Okay this proves it" Abby said with a shake of her head. "You are a figment of my imagination from my lack of food."
"Well, it is an honor then to be imagined by you." He laughed, oh how wonderful his laugh was! Like the ringing of a crystal bell. So Abby talked with this mysterious boy and when she asked for his name he called himself, Relm.
'I never thought there would come a time in my life where I would actually wish Abby was here' Shenori thought, screaming mentally at Abby who had yet to come to class. ' I knew I should have gone after her.' Shenori cursed as she tried in vain to not look at her English teacher.
"Is there a problem... Arielle Beige?" Her English teacher asked in his smooth voice. Shenori growled as she heard the girls behind her swoon and giggle over their new teacher.
"No..." Shenori growled, forcing herself to look at the floor.
"Please look at me when speaking Ms. Beige." The teacher asked, even though she couldn't see it she knew that he was smirking in victory. Shenori clenched her fists as she looked up into her teachers onyx black eyes.
"No, I don't have a problem." Shenori quickly said and looked away. The teacher decided to end it there for now, continuing would result in suspicion and Leader had warned him and the others specifically against that.
"Well then class," The teacher walked or in the girls vision, glided to the front of the room and neatly wrote his name om the board. "My name is Itachi Uchiha and I will be your English teacher. This school year we will be going over-"
"I AM SO SORRY I'M LATE!" Abby yelled as she burst open the door and leapt into the room, landing in front of Itachi. "I am really, really sorry! I got lost and this one guy... teacher! Tried to help me but he was new too and got me even more lost and!-"
She was cut of by Itachi slamming a book over her mouth. "Just take your seat" He said monotonously. Abby nodded meekly and sat down at the front of the class, even more depressed because all the seats around Shenori were taken.
'I'm sorry I didn't tell you Shenori...' Abby thought, as she listened to Itachi speak. Shenori however, who was five feet away from Abby herd the girl talking in her head.
'What the heck!' Shenori screamed in her head, 'Did I... did I just heard Abby's voice in my head? Apologizing? No... I-I must be imagining things...'
"Saved by the bell!" Shenori shouted in joy as the annoying low pitched bell blare out over the loud speakers, there were a few snickers aimed at Shenori as she realized she said that out loud. Shenori ignored them because she didn't care what people thought about her and gave Abby a cold glance as the girl followed her out.
"Don't be mad at me Shenori! Our next teacher is going to be great!"
"Really?" Shenori asked suspiciously.
"Yep!" Abby smiled as they walked into their 5th period class and siting on top of the teachers desk looking quite board was Sasori.
"Hello class," She said dryly, not noticing (or pretending not to notice) the giggling girls. "My name is Sasori Akasuna and I will be your teacher. There will be no homework-" there was a short pause as the entire class erupted into shouts of joy. "and instead we will be doing everything in class, now open your books to the first chapter, read the first section and do all the problems for that section. You may work quietly in groups of no more than three and may not talk louder than a whisper."
There were a few moans of protest but the class grabbed their books nonetheless and started working except for Abby who blew off her work like always
"Ne, Abby..." Shenori asked sleepily.
"What?"
"Why were you late."
"I-I got lost..." Abby laughed nervously and just a little to loud for Sasori glared at her.
"Okay, now tell my why you were really late."
"I got lost..." Abby pouted, staring blankly at the open book in front of her. 'I can't tell Shenori that I was talking to this really hot guy'
"You were talking to a really hot guy?" Shenori whispered suddenly.
"How did you know I was late because I was talking to a hot guy?" Abby exclaimed, her eyes wide.
"I don't know..." Shenori said, "didn't you just say it?"
"No... but I thought it..."
"You don't think... that I can read minds do you?" Shenori asked, already imaging the possibilities.
"No... you can't read minds." Abby said, patting her friend on the back.
"How do you know?" Shenori asked.
"I can see the future remember?" Abby reminded her, patting her on the head. Shenori irritably slapped Abby's hand aside as she started to actually work.
"I wonder why I can see the future and read minds and send thoughts out to people." Abby pondered as she chewed on the end of her pencil. "I could never do that in the Naruto world. Maybe it's a side affect after spending so much time there."
"..."
"Nuu! Don't ignore me Shenori! I'm too young to be alone!" Abby wailed as she got yet another glare from Sasori. "The whole world hates me."
Oddly enough their 6th period teacher never showed up so the class spent the whole time talking and a few of the rebellious students walked out. Abby knew who their teacher was and understood completely why he wasn't there and Shenori did too once Abby explained to her. They decided to give Zetsu a talk later about not eating people in their world.
"We have art next." Shenori said happily as she and Abby walked to their next class at the other end of the building. "I bet Deidara is going to be our teacher right?... Abby?" Shenori stopped and looked around only to see that Abby had disappeared. "Ugh..." Shenori growled in frustration as she stormed off to her last class. "She better not be late again."
As it turned out Deidara was not her art teacher, in fact it was the person she least expected to teach an art class... Hidan.
"Listen up little fuckers" Hidan said, leaning far back into his swivel chair, what surprised Shenori more than the fact that Hidan was teaching art was what he was wearing, a gray turtle neck sweater and it looked absolutely hot on him! "I'm teaching this class so you do every little fucking thing I tell you to do. No questions asked!" Hidan looked around the class, clearing looking for someone particular. Noting seeing the one person he wanted to see all day he looked at his attendance list, making sure they were in that class.
"All of our new teachers are hot." One senior girl whispered to her friend, behind Shenori.
"Like totally," The girl whispered back. "And they're all so young too! They have to be just out of collage! I be their single."
"I so want the math teacher." The senior girl giggled.
"Okay" Hidan exclaimed, standing up from his seat and running a hand through his lose, not slicked back hair, there was a sea of blushed from the students as all the girls watched entranced. "One of you is missing... I need someone.... Arielle" He pointed straight at Shenori. "Go find Abby."
"Yeah..." Shenori got out of her seat and practically ran out of the room, this day was just too weird for her.
So Shenori's quest for Abby began, she climbed perilous staircases, she ran the vast open plains of the halls and fought off vicious hall monitors with her bare hands.... okay she really didn't do any of that stuff. All she did was walk aimlessly around but that's just not fun now is it? Eventually as she came back around to where she started she smelled a familiar sent.
"I know this smell..." She said out loud, closing her eyes as she focused. "This smell is... Abby? Okay I knew I could smell better but this is crazy... oh well, might as well follow this sent... even of if feel like a dog doing so..."
Shenori followed Abby's sent-which smelled like cinnamon and spice-and was lend down a lesser traveled hallway. Shenori stopped when she could hear Abby's voice from all the way down the long hallway, hiding behind a trash can she listened.
"You are by far the best hallucination I have had Relm." Abby laughed.
"I keep trying to tell you." A new male voice laughed. "I'm real."
"No! You can't be gay! And you're defiantly not a jerk." Abby laughed again, her voice coming steadily closer. "Well maybe you are... keeping me from going to class."
"I'm not keeping you!" The male exclaimed, offended. "You are merely giving me a tour a the school I will be attending soon."
"Well if you put it that way..." Abby laughed as she passed the trashcan Shenori was hiding behind. Shenori could see and smell the guy she was with. He had medium length shaggy black hair and smelled like the earth after a refreshing rain shower. Shenori couldn't help but like his smell.
"Well I have to go now Abby." He smiles as Abby waved him goodbye. Once he vanished around the corner Abby sighed dreamily.
"I really, really, really, really hope he's real..." Abby sighed again as a dreamy expression over took her face. Shenori decided the time was ripe to make her appearance.
"Who was that?" Shenori asked, tapping Abby from behind on the shoulder. Abby jumped and gave a small yip of surprise.
"Sh-Sh-Shenori!" Abby laughed nervously, finding the floor very interesting that very moment. "What are you... doing out of class..."
"I could be asking you that since you didn't go to class and I did." Shenori folded her arms across her chest as she herded Abby back to class. "Hidan sent me to find you."
"I know..." Abby sighed deeply as the art classroom came into sight. "I was really dreading this meeting..."
"So who was that?" Shenori pressed earlier question.
"His name is Relm Stravascky." Abby paused before the door, balking against Shenori's shoves. Luckily for her though the bell ran and Abby bolted from the door. Abby had not gone three feet when strong arms grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back into the classroom.
"Hey baby," Hidan smirked down at the trapped Abby in his arms, Abby was silently thankful that there was no one else in the room with them except Shenori who kept looking over her shoulder. "Miss me?" Hidan nipped playfully at Abby's ear.
"Um..." Abby struggled in Hidan's hold, knowing all to well that Hidan wasn't going to let go of her until he got a kiss, she silently cursed being able to see the future. "Can I have a kiss?" She gritted the phrase between her teeth, truthfully she didn't like Hidan any more and didn't have to chance to break things up with him back in his world.
She was really regretting not doing so now...
Hidan smirked as he cupped Abby's cheek in his hand and kissed her hard on the lips, his teeth chewing on her lower lip. Abby immediately pulled away and slid out of Hidan's arms.
Abby stepped behind Shenori, using her friend like a human shield. "Um... we're at school and if you get caught doing something like that...."
"Okay, Okay..." Hidan sighed, "I guess we could do more later." A mischievous grin crossed his face as he stared seductively at Abby.
"Yeah.... isn't there a meeting you're supposed to take us to?" Abby hastily changed the subject.
"Oh, yeah that's right..." Hidan had forgot about the meeting. "Follow me then I guess."
(At the meeting in a empty room)
"Enjoy your first day of school girls?" Leader greeted Abby and Shenori the moment they entered the room behind Hidan, all the other Akatsuki members were there as well.
"It was great." Abby said as that dream expression came over her face again. "Just great..."
"Okay..." Shenori poked her out of it friend. "What I have been wondering is why Abby can see the future and I can smell really well." Shenori asked, short and to the point.
"Let me explain." Leader cleared his throat. "There is chakra in this world but it's used and channeled differently than in our world."
"Why didn't have these powers before?"
"That's easy." Abby interrupted. "It's because we didn't have chakra until we went to their world. I know a lot, or used to know a lot about the chakra used in this world, I sorta forgot..." Abby laughed.
"Like wise..." Leader continued. "we are affected as well, for the most part Kakuzu, Deidara and I still have our powers as before only weaker. Sasori and Kisame are having some problems controlling this new chakra and Hidan can't use chakra at all. The rest is unknown."
"Doesn't that mean that the enemy ninja from your world would be affected as well?" Shenori asked, already losing attention in the matter. Abby siting next to her was giggling with that stupid dreamy face again.
"Yes," Pein stood up and the rest of the Akatsuki did like wise. "Girls, you are going to live with us again for protection so say your good byes to your families."
"I don't think my parents would let me stay with a bunch of older guys." Abby said as she looked at the clock. "Yosh! Look at the time! The buses will be leaving soon!" With out another word Abby dashed out of the room, dragging Shenori behind her.
"Oh Shenori." Abby said casually as they ran down the halls. "Remember that horrible thing I said was going to happen?"
"Yeah..."
"Well it's going to happen.... right.... now..."
Just as they rounded the corner Shenori ran right into a trash can and fell in, right on to a pile of cleaned up puke and a mysterious brown substance that smelled awful.
"Abby..." Shenori growled dangerously low. "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
"Sadly you catch me!" Abby yelled back as she raced against fate but atlas... Shenori caught her in less than a minute and Wiped herself off on Abby's brand new hoddie. "Seeing the future is such a pain..." Abby sighed.
So she and Shenori walked to their bus, ignoring the looks they were receiving, not knowing that someone was watching them.
"Such an interesting girl" A male boy with black hair smirked as his eyes focused on Abby. "I can't wait to kill her."
Me: Who! First chapter done and done!
Shenori: Meh.... I need coffee....
Me: Have a nice day and be sure to review!
