Note: I think I'll continue this story. So far I only have four students signed up for the community service art class, who are Meya, the Goth Angel of Death (a.k.a Brittany), Monika Muñoz, Kori Fuyu, and Rae Yasu, who was PM-ed to me.

-:-

"I can't believe we're teaching a damned art class," Hidan grumbled, putting his scythe in the coat closet.

"Cheer up!" Tobi said perkily. "I think we will have a great time!"

"Tobi is right," Sasori said. "And besides, we only have four people signed up right now."

"Only four?" Deidara gasped. "But—but—but that's not nearly enough!"

"Cheer up, senpai!" Tobi said, patting Deidara on the head. "We'll have fun!"

As the clock struck ten am, the opened the doors and four girls walked in.

"Okay, welcome," Deidara said. "Sit wherever you want, and then we'll start the class, un."

The four girls all sat down on stools in front of individual easels.

"Okay," Pein mumbled. "Meya, the Goth Angel of Death?"

"Here," a girl said, raising her hand slightly. She appeared to be around sixteen. Her long, shiny black hair was pulled into two ponytails at the sides of her head, drawing attention to her pale skin, which looked even paler against her purple lipstick and rather excessive eyeshadow. She wore a black tank top over a blood red long-sleeved top and a black lace-trimmed miniskirt, as well as black nail polish and three silver hoops in each ear. Her eyes appeared to be red.

"Can we just call you Meya?" Kakuzu asked from the corner.

"That's fine," she said, showing off her tongue ring shaped like a black cat.

"Okay," Pein said. "Monika... Muñoz?"

"Yeah, that's it," another girl said. She was considerably older than Meya, perhaps around twenty-one. She shared Meya's pale skin and inky black hair, but she had freckles and wore her hair loose, with dyed-white tips. Though her eyes were a color occurring in nature (blue), they appeared to be pupil less. Her black t-shirt read, "Happiness is just a word to me" and was worn with jeans. A black Peruvian rose was holding back her hair, and she was listening to music while they called roll.

Konan took over the roll book. "Kori Fuyu?"

"Shut the hell up, I'm here," another girl drawled. She seemed around nineteen years old. She shared the previous girls' black hair, but unlike Monika and Meya, she had tanned skin and normal-seeming gray eyes. She, like the others, wore eyeshadow, and she also had a piercing right above her upper lip. Kori sported a black jacket, a silver tank top, black pants, and black Chucks.

"And finally...Rae Yasu?"

"Here!" the final girl shouted. She was as different from the others as she could be and still be the same species. For one thing, her hair was bright red and in a bouncy ponytail, and she sported a huge, rather creepy smile. She was dressed simply, in a blue t-shirt and black Capri pants, and she had plain green eyes. And she was much younger than them, only thirteen.

"Okay, that's everyone," Pein said.

"Wait!" Rae cried. "Aren't you guys the Akatsuki?"

Every single Akatsuki member froze, their faces masks of shock.

"Great," Meya snorted. "You just killed off the people we're supposed to be learning art from. Nice work."

"Thank you!" Rae squealed, apparently unable to detect sarcasm. Meya responded by scooting her stool and easel closer to Kori.

"Give us one second," Kisame said, running out of the room with everyone.

-:-

"Hi, there's a lot of noise in the background, so obviously I'm somewhere cool and can't talk to you right now. Leave me your name and number and I'll call you back when I'm not somewhere cool or I'm not having fun. Bye." (1)

"Voice mail again!" Itachi grunted, ready to burn the phone.

"These calls are getting expensive," Kakuzu sighed.

"Try again," Kisame hissed. "I am not going to let her do this."

They once again dialed Rayne.

"Hello?"

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SEND US TO???" Hidan screamed into the phone.

"Earth," Rayne said meekly. "Is there a problem?"

"Yes," Pein said. "These people know who we are and know what's going to happen to us!"

"Well duh," Rayne said. "Naruto's a really popular show on Earth."

"What? That idiot has his own show?"

"Yeah, and you guys are on it. Everyone watches it, and it's super popular. You also have a manga."

"I still don't understand it," Kakuzu mumbled.

"You don't have to," Rayne grumbled. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have important things to do." She hung up.

-:-

The Akatsuki all walked into the room.

"Tobi's back!" Rae yelled.

"Yes I am!" Tobi squealed back at her.

"Deidara," Rae said, turning solemnly to Deidara and sticking her tongue out.

"Hey, don't diss Delilah," Monika chuckled. "It's not his fault that he thinks art is a bang when it clearly is something that should last forever."

Two things happened at once. Deidara jumped up and shouted, "Hey!", while Sasori stood up and clapped his hands.

"Monika is right!" he explained to the class.

"HOW?" Rae shouted back at him.

"Shut the hell up," Kori grumbled.

"NO." Rae defiantly replied.

"Anyway—" Sasori tried to cut in.

"Shut your frigging mouth or I'll shut it for you," Kori snarled back at Rae.

"But how will I eat cheese?" Rae gasped. She seemed to actually mean what she said.

Meya leaned over and poked Rae with her paintbrush. "Shut up."

"SHUT UP!" Hidan shouted at the top of his lungs. They all shut up, even Rae.

"We came here to create art," Deidara said. "NOT give me nicknames and side with Sasori."

Monika grinned.

"So, first we'll paint portraits to last forever," Sasori put in.

"No," Deidara scoffed. "We're making fireworks, un!"

"Portraits!"

"Fireworks!"

"Portraits!"

"Fireworks!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Hidan yelled again, punching both of them. "Just paint a still life or something." With that said, he plopped a bowl of fruit on the table. "Shut your damned mouths and paint this."

"Food!" Zetsu said excitedly. He ate the whole bowl.

Pein looked stricken. "Zetsu!"

"Nice one," Meya murmured.

"Sorry." Zetsu burped, and up came the empty bowl.

"So..." Itachi mumbled. "Paint the bowl, or you can put something in it. Just paint."

All four heads immediately dropped down to the easels. Meya, Rae and Kori all started painting immediately, but Monika paused to think.

"Paint an explosion," Deidara whispered.

"Thanks, Delilah, but I think I'm good," she smirked, and started painting, leaving Deidara standing there looking shocked.

"This is boring," Kisame whispered to Kakuzu.

"I know," Kakuzu whispered back. "I wanna get paid."

"Done!" Rae shouted.

"Great," Sasori muttered. "Just be quiet until everyone else is done."

"HOW DO YOU BE QUIET???"

-:-

A few minutes later, the other girls finished.

"Okay. Now whose is this, un?" Deidara asked, holding up a painting. Everyone stared.

The bowl was still a white porcelain bowl, but the rest of the backdrop had changed dramatically. The table had bloody claw-marks on it, and fingernails were stuck in the scratched wood. (2) The floor had some of the leftover blood staining it, and the walls were also clawed, with "Pein brings pain" written on the wall. The bowl, naturally, was filled with blood and chipped in several places.

"Over here," Meya said, waving him over to her stool. "Like it?"

Hidan was the first to speak. "I love it!" he gushed, stepping out of character.

"It's very...interesting," Pein mumbled.

"Thanks."

"Okay," Deidara coughed. "Moving on. Whose is this?" He held up another painting, which was very different from Meya's bloody yet somehow beautiful painting.

The bowl was on the table, and it was filled with cheese. In the background, a red-haired girl was playing guitar, a gray horse was seated at a drum kit, a red-haired guy (with a peanut-shaped gourd) with a frown so large it went off his face was playing the piano, and Hidan and Zetsu were singing into microphones. And it was all very poorly drawn. (3)

"That's mine!" Rae squealed. "It's our band. We're called The Peanuts!"

"How very nice," Deidara mumbled. "Anyway...whose is this?"

That painting was very abstract, with the fruit shaped like ribbons and weaving around each other in intricate designs.

"Mine," Kori called out.

"Okay," Deidara said. "So, Monika, is this one yours?"

"You're right, Delilah."

Monika's painting was of the bowl on the table, neither of which bloodstained. Instead of fruit, cheese or blood, her bowl was filled with black lilies and richly painted dark red roses.

"It's beautiful!" Sasori gushed. "It is beautiful and will last forever, like true art should!"

"Wrong," Deidara said. "True art is a bang!"

"Forever!"

"Bang!"

"Forever!"

"Bang!"

Hidan sighed and walked in between the two of them. "If you two say one more word about damned art, you'll lose your heads."

"Damn straight!" Kori shouted.

"I have an idea, Hidan-sama!" Tobi put in. "Let's see what the others think about art!"

"Good idea!" Deidara called out. He immediately shut his mouth as Hidan pressed his scythe against his throat.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" Kori chanted. Rae joined in.

With an astonishing display of strength, Deidara pushed Hidan's scythe away.

"Now, what do you guys think? Forever? Or a BANG?"

"You can tell the truth," Sasori said. "We won't get angry at you..."

-:-

Note: Ooh! Do you guys like how I made your characters act? You can tell me if you want me to change anything. And every person will have a little main chapter, so everyone gets equal airtime.

(1) Yes, that is my actual voice mail message. It may be mean, but it suits me.

(2) I knew I shouldn't have watched Ghost Whisperer. I'm too much of a wimp for supernatural stuff.

(3) The girl who created Rae and I once drew that picture. It did end up looking disturbing.
