*Aelia's POV*

"Hasa! Give me back my fucking shake!" I shouted.

"Geeze, you're in a bitchy mood," she handed me back my drink.

"I warned you this morning," I hissed.

"Thought it would pass."

"She's always like this," Kali said.

"Gee thanks," I said sarcastically glaring at her.

"Your welcome," she smirked.

I snatched my milkshake back; Max put his hands up like a child. I raised a brow at his action.

"What?" I watched him "You want some?" he nodded, I sighed annoyed "Fine."

I handed him the milkshake. Someone tapped my shoulder; turning around I saw the most unusual red head. He looked familiar but wasn't a hundred percent sure until he told me his name.

"Excuse me, but I'm looking for someone by the name of Aelia," he asked so politely.

"That would be me," I took my drink back and stood up "What's it to ya?'

"The office told me to find you since I'm new here and I have class with you next."

I glanced at the clock then grabbed my stuff. His lie was smooth, but I knew better. No school office worker would send a new student to an old student like that.

"Come on," I started walking away "I'll show you where our class room is."

"Thank you," he said "My name is Sasori."

"You already know my name puppet boy," I glanced at him "Where's the blond?"

He chucked and pointed to the door behind him "So you knew?"

"I had my suspicion," I turned around "So the blond is in the front of the school."

"Where are you going?"

"Where else? To go see your partner."

Sasori sighed and had to jog to catch up to me. I passed by my friends yet again. THye starred at me confused.

"Aelia, class is the other way," Candra shouted.

"Going to make a phone call," I waved her away.

"Sasori, that was quick, un," Deidara blinked at me.

"I got the girl," he scratched the back of his head "She's smarter then I thought."

"Aelia, un," he kissed my hand "It's an honor."

I glanced around "The teams are broken up."

"Your picture really doesn't do you any fucking justice," Hidan smirked eyes scaling my body.

"Hidan, the religious freak," I pointed to each man in front of me "Itachi Uchiha, the weasel and traitor or so they say. Deidara, bomb expert. Sasori, puppet and puppet master, scorpion of the red sand."

"You know about us?" Itachi asked.

"I know a lot about the Akatsuki," I shrugged "And you're here...why?"

"To get you to join the fucking Akatsuki duh," Hidan snapped.

"No!" I glared and walked back inside.

"We need you on our team," Sasori followed me in.

"No you don't."

"Yes we do, you can help us, and you know the future. Please join us."

"I said no!"

"Why?"

"You don't need me!"

"Yes I do!"

I glared at his calm brown eyes. He wasn't going to give up; I bent down to tell my friends what class they had next, they never could remember after lunch since each day it switched between two different classes. I took no more then two steps when Sasori grabbed my forearm; I glanced at his hand then at him. He opened his free hand and offered me what was in it.

"Take this and think my offer over," Sasori said.

I took the ring from his hand and examined it. It was the same ring the Akatsuki wore; the one in my hand had a familiar symbol.

"Blood?" I asked, and he nodded, I handed the ring back "I'm not changing my mind any time soon."

"I'll force you if I have to."

"Try your luck Sasori, but you might fail," I smirked just as the bell rung "I have to get to class."

I got my arm free and went to photography class with Max, Hasa, Kali, Candra and Yamato. They kept asking about the connection between me and Sasori. As usual I never gave a straight answer so they stopped nagging. Max on the other hand was more curious then the rest, more then usual. It took until there was a knock on the door three quarters of the way through class for him to give up.

"Excuse me but we are looking for Aelia."

"Yes officers this way. Aelia," the teacher called.

I looked up from my work to see Itachi and Sasori in a police uniform. I smirked and leaned back in my chair. They were going to extremes to get me to join them, it was amusing to watch.

"What can I do for ya officers?" I asked sarcastically emphasizing the word 'officers'.

"Please stand up," Itachi ordered.

I shrugged and walked up to him. The class watched in confusion. I knew I wasn't in trouble, but no one else knew. Murmurs started spreading and I knew word was going to get out about this.

"You're under arrest," Itachi said while putting hand cuffs on my wrists then leaned in to whisper in my ear "For being the sexiest woman alive."

I frowned at his comment and shouldered him in the jaw. Itachi backed off rubbing his jaw. He smirked at me enjoying the struggle, and never took his eye off me as he spoke.

"Damn girl you're strong. We may need back up."

Sasori smirked at Itachi's pain and kept his eyes on me. At the word 'backup' Deidara and Hidan walked in also in police uniforms. I couldn't help it, I began to laugh all the while I was picking the lock on the cuffs with a bobby pin that I carried in my back pocket in case I needed it for my hair.

"What's so funny, un?" Deidara asked.

"You and him," I gestured toward Hidan "You look completely ridiculous in those uniforms."

Hidan came at me followed closely by Deidara just as I got free. I put one handcuff on Hidan then spun him around and placed the other one on Deidara in a certain way so that they couldn't attack together because they were facing in opposite directions. This was all done in a quick smooth motion that no one saw coming, they blinked and it was done.

"Fuck, this girl is good," Hidan complained.

"That's why she's wanted," Sasori answered.

"Why am I being arrested?" I asked.

"Do you really want your class mates to know the reason?" Itachi answered.

I glared at him but he just smirked. I walked by punching him in the gut causing him to groan in pain. Sasori took a hold of my upper arm as I passed and walked me out.

"You're troublesome," Sasori sighed.

"But you'll come to love me," I teased.

"Do you mind removing these cuffs, un," Deidara asked "You destroyed the lock so the key doesn't work."

I giggled and helped him out. As I was removing the cuffs there was a slight prick in the back of my neck and everything went black.
