The Akatsuki are some of the most feared villains of the Naurto world. In my mind, not really!

Ok, High Scholl, done. College, well, for that, I would have to move out of Takigakure, and go to Konoha, which had the best college around. I found a small offer:

"Boarding House for College Students

10 minutes away from the Konoha College

Reasonable Prices"

After examining the sign, I noticed that of the ten papers with the numbers, 7 were gone. I ripped out the eighth one, looking at the number. I called a few hours later. The lady who picked up the phone, whose name was Konan, one of the two owners of the house, along with her husband Pein, explained everything to me, prices and all. I moved in a few days later, wondering what my roommates would be like…

Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? My name is Hikari, I'm 17 years old, and I got a huge scholarship into the Konoha College. Not wanting to let the chance slide, I convinced my parents to let me move there, after promising to call every day. The house was owned by Pein, and his wife Konan. I learned that there were already others living there for almost a year. That meant I was the youngest. Before I digress again, I'm 5'5, I have brown-green eyes, shoulder length black hair, glasses, pale skin, and a few freckles splattered on my face. Back to the story…

The first person who greeted me at the door was Konan, who said she would introduce me to the others. The house was two stories tall, but just by looking at it you would have guessed it to have almost 20 rooms. It was a brick red color on the outside, with a bright red cloud over the wooden double-doors. It had a couple of picture windows scattered, but they reflected the outside, although at then I suspected that from the inside we could see clearly. Konan walked me inside. There was a spacious living room, with a couple of couches around a 29" Plasma Screen TV, and a low glass table between those couches. Sitting on the one directly in front of the TV, there were two people arguing. Both seemed to be male, judging by their voices. One had blond hair tied in a half ponytail, and there seemed to be a fringe falling on his face. He was arguing with a man who was shorter than him, and had a dark red hair color. They seemed to notice me walking in(Konan had gone to the bedrooms to call everyone for lunch) and turned to face me. The blond, as I had suspected had indeed a fringe that completely covered his left eye, although his eyes were blue, by what I could see. The redhead had muddy brown eyes, and looked almost as old as me. Both of them shouted at the same time "Tell him that I'm right!". After that they both glared at each other.

"Art is fleeting, un!"The blond said. Did he have a speech problem, or something?

"Art is eternal, brat!"That was the redhead.

"Fleeting, un!"

"Eternal!"

"If I may interrupt" I said, wanting them to stop yelling "I think that art isn't just this or that. To me, art has many sides, all of them equally unique and beautiful."

That answer left them quiet, probably pondering. I took the opportunity to look out the window. I was right, you could see clearly from the inside. I asked them their names. The blond was named Deidara. The redhead was Sasori. They asked me who I was. I told them I was moving in. Deidara said that he thought the new roommate Konan had told them about(Me) was a guy. I had a copy of Brisingr in my bag (Brisingr: Third book in the Inheritance Cycle. Eragon, for duds. Over 700 hundred pages .). In seconds it was out, and the large hardcover book was crashing down n Deidara's head. I won't say I'm not a violent, temperamental person(which I am), but I've been mistaken for a boy too many times to say I don't feel bothered by it. Konan reappeared, taking me on a tour of the house before I gave the blond a concussion.

I found out that the house had 10 bedrooms, with one being Konan and Pein's Master Suite. They also had a weight room, a bathroom on each floor, kitchen, living room, dining room (with a table for 10), a large back garden and best of all, an incredibly good Wi-Fi connection. I thanked my dad again silently for giving me a laptop for Christmas. My dad had sent a few of my bags earlier, so I came in with just my book bag. I found out that my room was the second one on the left, between Deidara's and Sasori's rooms. I went to unpack as Konan left. I spread my clothes in piles on the bed. Shirts here, pants there, the odd dress. Once they were sorted, I opened the wardrobe, to see a 10ft long dead snake fall on me.

All bedrooms start the same, although you can add furniture, or move them around. All rooms have a single bed, a wardrobe, a desk and a window on the wall opposite to the door. Rooms on the left side viewed the backyard. On the right side, you saw the street.

"!" I screamed. I'm not a scaredy cat, but you're opening your wardrobe and suddenly a 10ft long dead snake falls on you (heavy snake too, I fell on the floor due to its weight) you're obviously gonna scream. I heard the door in front of mine open. A guy with slicked back silver-ish hair (I couldn't see properly at the time, the snake was pretty heavy). I barely heard him grumble something "Orochimaru's old room" before he finally helped me get out from under the snake. After that I learned his name was Hidan, and that he swore like there was no tomorrow. "So, Princess" he started "Scared of (bleep)ing snakes?" . "Not usually" I answered "But a 10ft snake falling on top of you when you least expect it isn't exactly a reason not to scream." . I looked at the bed. The two bags that held clothing were empty. I left the book bag there, I'd get it later. But the fourth bag… That one held my most valuable possessions. A katana, a war fan the size of a normal fan, a few kunai knifes and shurikens, and an old scroll, from the shinobi era(Modern or not, it's still the Shinobi World!). I had yet to find out how to open the scroll, but then again, Konoha had a great library, with plenty of old writings. Maybe there I'd find out how to open the darned scroll. I momentarily ignored Hidan, after muttering a "thanks". I looked at the discarded snake, wondering how I'd get it out of there, when Hidan's voice snapped me back. He seemed to like calling me "Princess". Ugh. I wacked him with my fan, closed of course, didn't want to cut his head! He rubbed his forehead as if that had been nothing, looking into my weapon bag. "Where did you get that summoning scroll?" He asked, genuinely surprised. I looked at him blankly "How do you know what the hell this thing, that I've had for years, and never managed to open?" I asked, straining not to yell. "You never opened it? All you have to do is pull this string." He said. He pulled. It was stuck "Now I (bleep)ing get it. Whatever this (bleep)ing thing used to summon is long dead. Either that, or this one needs to be given by whatever it is. Well, you figure out what to do with that snake there, I'm gone!" He said, then he left.

That made me think. I'd read about summoning scrolls in Takigakure, but I never imagined that I would have one! I threw the snake through the window, hoping not to hit anyone. I hoped wrong. I heard a THUD and then a muffled groan. I dashed down the stairs, going to help the poor soul I'd harmed…
