a/n: Hi! I updated! Once more, I do not own Naruto or Harry Potter. Enjoy! (lots of exclamation points...)
Shana woke up. It was morning, the sun just rising. Sasori was staring at at some birds in a nearby tree. She looked around, and noticed that a certain blonde-haired moron was still sleeping. Walking over to Sasori, Shana remembered last night.
The threesome was passing through a town somewhere in the fire country, when some drunk idiot tried to grope her. That was not cool. You don't just do something like that to an Akatsuki member. I will leave it to the readers to imagine the outcome of that little scenario ... *ahem*. She refused to let them stay there overnight, so here they are. In the middle of a grassy field. In the winter.
"Aren't you cold?" she asked thoughtlessly. He was just wearing his usual cloak and pants, after all. He just stared at her. "O-Oh right. Sorry!" she apologized to the human puppet.
"It isn't like you to be up so early," he commented. This was true. Shana was notorious for sleeping in until noon. Sasori especially despised this because he hates to be kept waiting.
"How could I sleep in this freezing weather?! And you know that I am affected more than you. Well, anyone is affected more than you, but you know what I mean," she said, shivering slightly.
"Very true, but-" but before he could finish his thought, Deidara woke up.
"C-cold! Why couldn't we stay somewhere nice, un?" he complained.
"So you wake up and the first thing you do is complain? What a wonderful person you are..." Shana said.
"Well, before you two can argue any more, I believe Leader-sama has summoned us," Sasori said. It was true. They all looked at their rings, and to Deidara and Shana's surprise, they were glowing. The three got into comfortable positions and became those hologram things in the Akatsuki lair.
"Uwaaaaaaah~ Why did you summon us so early in the morning?" Shana asked in that obnoxious tone of voice. She noticed that Zetsu was there as well. "Ah, yo! Zetsu-kun, how are things going?"
"Now is not a time to be talking with the partner you should be with right now!" Deva Pein seemed slightly annoyed, much to Shana's pleasure. "The reason Zetsu is here is because I wanted to alert him that you would be out of contact for a period of time, but that already seems to be the case." Shana laughed a little, but Zetsu simply announced that he would be leaving if that was all, and vanished.
"Ummm, what do you mean I'll be gone for a period of time?" Shana was a little nervous now, but excited at the same time.
"And why are we here, yeah?" Deidara put in.
"I will now brief you on your mission," Leader-sama said in a very menacing tone. "I have been researching ulterior power sources, and decided to research the countries outside of our sphere of influence. I discovered a civilization almost more advanced than our own. They have mastered chakra in a different way than ours, using a medium to draw it out of their bodies in massive quantities." It was here that our two idiots couldn't help but interrupt.
"What do you Massive? Do you have any it dangerous? I mean it could But how does that-" The bold is Deidara and the normal text is Shana. The two spoke at exactly the same time, so no one could understand what they were saying.
"Will you two shut up?" Sasori was going to lose his mind at this rate. They personified the phrase 'argue like a married couple'.
"As I was saying," continued Pein, "I want the three of you to infiltrate their society and learn about this mysterious system." 1/3 of the group was in absolute disbelief. Infiltration. Sasori was an obvious choice. Shana has the ability to adapt quickly and fit in. Deidara.... stuck out like a sore thumb. The explosive and attention whore of an artist felt something stir in the pit of his stomach. This was not gonna be fun. Weren't two people per mission enough? "As for an explanation as to why I chose the three of you," Pein said, as if reading his mind, "You will be infiltrating a school. They undergo schooling until they are seventeen years old, and the three of you are the closest to that age group. You will be posing as fifteen year olds."
"Why fifteen, hmm? We would fit in best as seventeen year olds, yeah," Deidara said, feeling slightly relieved.
"He has a point," Sasori added, liking the mission less and less with every word that came out of Leader-sama's hologram's mouth. Shana, on the other hand, was too excited for words; so she just stood there smiling stupidly.
"Apparently their exams are extremely difficult, and so I picked the youngest I thought I could pass you off as. Also, the information I am giving the head of that school is that Akatsuki is another school like theirs, but located in Japan. I am sending you three as 'ambassadors' to learn more about their society, which is true, in a sense. The school has a communication system which relies on birds, the same as we have here. I want monthly reports, and if you find anything of great importance, contact me immediately."
"Understood, hmm. But, why do I have to go, hmm?" Deidara asked.
"Because if Shana and Sasori leave, then you will be left without a partner. I don't trust you that much."
"Pfffft! Deidei needs a babysitter!" Shana couldn't hold it in anymore, and burst out laughing.
"Shut up, you-...." He was bright red, well, as red as a hologram could be, but oh well.
"What is the name of the establishment which we will be infiltrating?" Sasori was learning to ignore them.
"Hogwarts."
a/n: Thanks so much for the review, Shariki-Mirebu!!! It gave me the energy to write this chapter! I don't know how the Akatsuki contact each other, so that is what I came up with! Oh, and winter break starts Friday, so I can update this story some more. But, a lot of my time is devoted to the website I started, so please go here: .com/
The home page is messed up, so go to the actual home page. Thanx!
