Sorry I didn't update sooner. I was almost ready to drop this because I had no idea where to take the story. I added more mention of Itachi but I still haven't used his name. This chapter is mostly conversations but everything else is from Aoi's POV. All the akatsuki besides Itachi and Kisame(who already has had this appearance) are introduced in this chapter. There's not much background on anyone still.

DISCLAMER: I don't own naruto..or my immortal.

"You're late"
"I'm always late!"

~X~
I'm always late, that is a fact of life. Then, I almost ran into a door. "Where did that door come from?" The door opened to reveal my cause of annoyance for the past week. It wasn't much of a party. There was only about 9 people in the room, but they were some of my favorite people. Why did I have to be the baby of the group? Now everyone is in collage and I'm alone…Well there used to be one other person that was younger…Were they always this loud?

"Tobi give it back!"
"I will NEVER GIVE IT BACK!"
"Hidan, if you break one more thing I will hurt you."
*CRASH*
"I'll GET YOU!"
"Brat, would you shut up?"
"Tell Tobi to shut up, un!"
"I sometimes question my choice of friends."

Hey, Pain stole my line! Wait…I stole it from him. It doesn't matter he stole my line. Ya, I've always said that. Especially when...never mind. Wait, I just confused myself. Now, I have to wait for them to see me.

"TOBI MISSED YOU!" I missed Tobi's hugs, but this is painful.
"Tobi, get off of her, un!"
"Tobi missed her!"
"I don't care, let go of her or she'll suffocate, un!"
"If you wanted to be a good boy, you would let go of her." Zetsu is my savior. Well, at least the nice side of him is. I think his dark side wants me to die.
Thankfully, I was released.

I'm so tired of being here
"Oh that's my phone."
Suppressed by all my childish fears
"Tobi thinks Aoi has a boyfriend!"
"I don't have a boyfriend!"
and if you have to leave
"Tobi be a good boy and shut up."
I wish that you would just leave.
After all the arguments, I got to my phone.

"Hello?"
"Is this Aoi?"
"Ya, it is."
"It's Shino. We had a science project to work on."
"Oh! I'm SO sorry! I was dragged to a party so I completely forgot!"
"Aoi was dragged here? Aoi didn't want to see Tobi!"
"Ah. What is with the...Could you still come to work on it? I will not be able to work on it this weekend."
"Okay, it will take me a little while, but I will be over soon."
"Sorry guys, I have to do a science project."
"You have to do a science project? What teacher gave you a science project?"
"I don't know, maybe my science teacher?"
"NO! Aoi is leaving! This can't be! Tobi won't allow it!"

~X~

Running is tons of fun. Wow, what a lie! I had to run back to my house, and then run to Shino's which is about 2 miles away. By the time I was knocking on the door, it was 6pm. Shino opened it and lead me into his house.

Once we got to the living room, I flung myself onto the floor next to the table. "What is our topic again?" He sighed. "Our science project is on energy. It doesn't matter what it is it just has to be about energy." I don't think he likes me.

~X~

"We are just doing a review. This SHOULD be simple but it seems most of this class decided to make it simpler." Iruka-sensei was close to yelling at us, I know it. "Now, what marble would roll down the inclined plane the fastest?" Naruto raised his hand, which surprised everyone. "The fattest marble would roll down the hill the fastest?"

"Naruto, a marble cannot be fat! Round objects cannot be fat! Do you see this! How is this fat? There is not any fat in this marble." Iruka-sensei was yelling now…and waving a marble in the air.
"Umm...It is the largest marble and…I don't know!" I think I saw Sakura do a face palm. Then Kiba decides to add in, "So marbles are fat-free? It's a fat-free marble!"
"This class is insane." Now, everything is calm.

~X~

It turns out, Shino and I received the best grade in the class. We just calculated the G.P.E. of different objects in different places. How we got an A+ for that, I will never know. The rest of the class must be idiots.

I'm so tired of...

Shoot! I don't think anyone besides the kid next to me heard.

"Tobi is really mad that you left."
"Sorry. If it will make him feel better, tell him I got an A."
"I can't. I'm in class."
"You get your phone taken away and I'll laugh."
"You know just thinking about that, you should call him."
"That has nothing to our previous conversation!"
"No, it doesn't. :D"
"G2g…I'm going to eat lunch."
"You're just trying to avoid the subject."

~X~

Lunch is my time to sit outside and relax. I take that back. With Naruto screaming at the next table, it is impossible to relax. "Iruka-sensei was yelling at me for no reason!"

I'm so tired of being here

and if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave

Didn't I just tell him I had to leave! Gah! He's being annoying!

"Just because you don't want to talk to him, doesn't mean you shouldn't."
Why won't he leave it alone! It was a year ago.
"This is Konan on Sharky's phone. Stop ignoring us."
"I'm not ignoring you. Why don't you guys let it go? Everyone knows that friends drift apart!"
Great, now he has gathered the others to drive me insane.
"But you guys were best friends. You were inseparable, don't even lie and say that you don't miss him."
This better be Konan or I will be emotionally scared.

Wow, Kisame's being a pain. No idea about how this came out...My favorite part of this chapter is the marbles part. Why I put that in there, is a LONG story. I kept my immortal for her ring tone. If you don't know, G.P.E. is Gravitational Potential Energy. Does Aoi have a bad or unclear character? I don't know..I really don't want it to be like that. :( Well..I wanted to thank someone for putting this on their alerts! :D Hope you liked it!
