Chapter 1

~They're Just Kids~

I'm running home hunched over my bag to keep it dry from the pouring rain. For a split second there is a flash of lighting brightening the dark sky. Thunder rumbles right after the lighting reminding me of the sounds at a bowling ally. A car speeds by splashing cold water on me. I shiver as the temperature continues to drop and a harsh wind blows by with an angry vengeance.

My foot slips and I fall, sliding across the sidewalk. For a moment I just lay there on the ground not wanting to get up. I'm tired and cold. Why did I have to miss the bus home?

Suddenly the thought of my school books becoming ruined enters my mind. With a sigh I push myself up with one arm while my other arm holds my bag of books close to me.

As I get on my knees and I'm about to stand up something falls on top of me causing me to loose my balance and slip right back down. Then to make matter worst, I feel more things landing on me. I try to push myself up but whatever is on me too heavy for my tired muscles. This is so not my day.

The sound of groans reaches my ears. I immediately stop breathing to make sure I heard the sound correctly. Once again groaning reaches my ears. Apparently, I was wrong; it seems people landed on me.

"Excuse me," I practically shout over the howling wind. "Can you please get off me?"

After a couple of minutes I feel all the weight off of me. I quickly scramble to my feet and turn around. In front of me are ten kids that look no more than seven years old.

"Are you okay?"

All eyes turn to me and I slightly blush from so much attention. My eyes scan over each kid taking in their features. One has blonde hair and blue eyes. Another one has a dark red hair and chocolate brown eyes. There is one kid with slick backed sliver hair and what looks to be purple eyes. The only girl in the group has blue hair with an origami flower in it and grey eyes. The boy standing next to her has ginger color hair with grey eyes that looks like there a ripples in them. One of the little boys has green hair and gold eyes, however one side is white and the other side is black. Next to them is a boy or girl with an orange swirly mask on, covering his whole face but one eye hole. Another kid has a cloth mask that covers half of their lower face and has brown hair and green eyes. One of the boys has black hair in a ponytail with dark grey eyes. The boy next to him has black beady eyes that remind me of a fish with spiky blue hair and slightly blue skin. Seriously, I need to get that kid inside.

The only thing that is the same about all of them is that they are all wearing the same oversized coat that is black with red clouds. It kind of makes them look cute.

"We are fine," replies the ginger haired boy.

"Where is your family? Shouldn't you guys be at home?"

"We don't have a home because our family is dead," once again replies the ginger.

"Oh! I'm sorry to hear that. You can all come home with me. Besides we need to get you guys out of this rain."

"Why should we fucking go home with you?" Asks the one with sliver hair.

"Excuse me," I say a little shocked by what he just said.

"Hidan," the ginger says. "Be silent."

"We don't even know who this bitch is."

"Shut up you baka," says the one with the mask only covering half his face as he hits Hidan on the head.

"Where is your home?" Asks the girl.

"Right around the corner at the end of the street. It should only take about five minutes to get there."

"Take us," the ginger says, but the way he says it sounds more like an order.

"Okay," I reply then start running again.

I hear them following right behind me. At the corner I make a right almost falling down. When we get to my house at the end of the street I quickly rush to the door pulling out my house keys. A moment later I have the door unlocked and I'm walking inside clapping my hands to turn the lights on.

Turning around I smile as the children walk inside my house. When they are all inside I close my door. I watch as they look around my house with somewhat of an amazed expression.

"My parents are off on a business trip over in Europe, so they won't be back for awhile. There aren't that many rooms in the house, so some of you are going to have to share."

"Thank you," the ginger says.

"It's no problem," I say with a smile. "As long as I'm able to help in some way."

"You can fucking help by making me some fucking food. I'm fucking starving."

"Please don't speak to me that way. I'll make you some food in a moment. I'm going to go upstairs and get towels for all off you."

"Don't fucking tell me what to do bitch."

"Okay, I'm sorry, do whatever makes you happy."

I rush upstairs to my room first to drop off my backpack. Sadly it is wet and no doubt my school books are ruined. I'll worry about it later, right now I have some kids to take care of.

Going to the hall closet, I pull out ten towels. Quickly, I make my way back downstairs. Placing the towels down on the glass table in front of the couch I turn to the kids.

"Here you go, dry yourselves off. I'm sorry, but I don't have any clothes that will fit any of you. Maybe later we can go out to get you some clothes."

The ginger nods his head in return. He must be the leader of the group. As they all go to get a towel, I make my way into the kitchen. I make some hot chocolate for all of them and some chicken noodle soup.

"The food is done and ready," I say as I walk into the living room.

"YAY!" Yells the one with the orange mask as he runs into the kitchen/dinning room.

"About damn fucking time bitch," Hidan says as he follows after the other one.

"Thanks, un," says the blonde.

"You're welcome," I reply with a smile.

"What the fuck is this shit?"

"It's hot chocolate and chicken noodle soup," I reply then make my way back upstairs.

I dry myself off then change into a lavender short sleeve dress with black jeans underneath. Once finished I open my backpack to inspect my books. Yep, just as I thought, they are wet. Looks like I'll have to order some new ones.

"Someone is at the fucking door," Hidan yells up the stairs.

"Thanks," I say running down them making my way to the door.

I open the door to see my best friend Mayumi holding a purple umbrella with white polka dots. She's wearing torn up blue jeans with a purple t-shirt and black ankle high heel boots. Her brown hair is in a bob cut and looks messier than usual.

"Are you going to let me in?" She asks as she narrows her slightly butterscotch eyes.

"Yeah come in," I say moving out of her way.

Mayumi is not only my best friend, but she is also like a sister to me. Though most of the times she acts like a mother hen because she is a year older than me. She's even four inches taller than me. I stand at 170 centimeters (5'6"), while she stands at 178 centimeters (5'10").

"Do you have any hot chocolate?" She asks closing the door and heading to the kitchen.

"Yeah," I reply following her.

When we reach the kitchen she freezes. Her eyes scan over the children then leaves the room for a moment. With a shrug of my shoulders I start making her a cup of hot chocolate.

"Who the fuck was that?"

"That is my best friend Masaru Mayumi."

"I'm glad your dad still has this standard barrel length colt," Mayumi says walking back into the kitchen holding the gun she just said.

"What are you doing?" I ask as she points the gun to the kids.

"Do you know who these kids are?" She asks.

"No."

"I didn't think so."

"So you are going to point a gun at them?"

She looks at me with a look that says 'I'm-Only-Going-To-Scare-Them'. My eyes narrow slightly in a glare and she looks back at the kids.

"Alright you little fuckers, who the fuck are you?"

"Mayumi," I hiss.

"Kids can be evil," she says. "You shouldn't trust them. Don't you watch movies?"

"Those are movies, that doesn't mean kids are that way."

"You have a lot to learn," she says. "Now who are you kids?"

"We're the fucking akatsuki," Hidan replies.

"I don't know what your name is so I'm calling you Old Man. So, Old Man, that doesn't answer my question."

"Who the fuck you calling old you ugly ass bitch." I shake my head in disapproval. I fear this is going to turn ugly.

"You did not just say that to me," Mayumi says point the gun at him. "Do you want me to shoot your balls off?"

"Hehehe," says the boy with the slightly blue skin. "This girl is either very brave or very stupid."

"I'll go with stupid, un," says the blonde.

"It's a little bit of both," I say.

"That goes for the both of us," Mayumi says casting me a side glance before turning back to the group.

"Do you think that fucking petty weapon is suppose to fucking scare us?"

"It is probably just a bluff," the red head says with a bored tone. "She probably doesn't even know how to use it."

Mayumi raises her right brow as a smirk plays across her lips. Before I can get close to her she pulls the trigger. My eyes widen as the sound echoes around the room. Right near Hidan's head in the wall is a hole where the bullet went through.

"What the fuck, you almost fucking hit me."

"I did that on purpose. Now what were you saying about me bluffing and not being able to use this properly.

"Yeah, Sasori, what the fuck was that about."

"Hmph," is the only reply from the red head.

"I'm not asking anymore. I want answers and if I don't get them soon I'll shoot every single one of you. Where I hit you is for me to know and you to find out, if you don't answer."

"You're not going to shoot anyone," I say as I walk over and snatch the gun from her. "They are just kids and you could go to jail."

"You just got to ruin my fun."

"We're sorry," the ginger says. "My name is Pein and this is Konan. This object was given to us and Hidan had gone and touched it causing us to fall out of the sky and land on your friend."

Both Mayumi and I just blink a few times. I'm unsure if I heard him correctly. Did he really just say that they fell out of the sky?

"I'm supposed to believe that?" Mayumi asks with a glare.

"Believe what you want to believe but it is the truth."

"I didn't fucking know this would happen."

"Tobi thinks you should have read the warning like Tobi did," the one with the orange masks says. "Tobi is glad though that this isn't being blamed on Tobi."

"Is everyone done?" I ask.

"Yes," says a chorus of answers.

"Then I want everyone in the living room," Mayumi says.

"Fuck you bitch."

"I rather not, I'm keeping my virginity until I get married."

"Like anyone would marry or fuck some ugly bitch like you."

"Would you like me to take away your manhood?"

"Mayumi," I say with a glare.

"Hidan be silent," Pein says. "Everyone, get into the living room like she said."

"This is bullshit," Hidan mumbles.

While the children move away from the table and walk into the living room I hit Mayumi in the head. She turns to me and glares. I glare right back at her. What the heck was she thinking pulling a stunt like that?

"Don't you dare ever do that again," I hiss.

"I was just trying to get some answers."

"You could have gotten answers by doing something else. They're just kids for God's sake."

"They sure as hell don't act or talk like kids. I don't trust them and you shouldn't either."

"You don't trust anybody."

"Not true, I trust you."

"Once again they are just kids."

"I highly doubt that. I am eighteen now, which means I can move out of my parents house. Guess what, I'm moving in here with you."

"Why would you do that?"

"One, I don't want you alone and who knows when your parents will be back home. My second reason is, once again, I don't trust them."

"Fine," I say with a sigh. "Do whatever you want."

"Seriously," Mayumi says with a slight punch to my arm. "You need to learn to say no to people sometimes."

"What is that suppose to mean?" I ask as she starts walking into the living room and I follow behind her.

"It means exactly what I said," She replies and I know she has a smirk on her face.

I just shake my head and run upstairs to put my dad's gun away. I hide it in his dresser drawer so Mayumi doesn't get a hold of it again. With it out of the way, I run back downstairs.

"Alright," Mayumi says as I enter the room. "It is time for introductions."

I'm going to end the chapter here. The akatsuki are now in our world. Just to let you guys know, since they are in OUR world, I slightly alter their appearance. Kisame is going to have a slightly blue look to his skin. In addition, Pein doesn't have any of his piercing until he becomes his adult self again. If you're wondering if that means Sasori is human, yes he is. Plus, Deidara doesn't have the mouth palms or the mouth on his chest. Though when he becomes his adult self I might let him have them back.

I'm going to be putting up a poll soon for this story. I want you guys to vote for who you want Yume to end up with, Itachi or Sasori. As I mention before, Mayumi will be with Hidan.

Thank you for everyone who has read and review this story. Once again review and you can also check out my other stories. Masashi Kishimoto owns the akatsuki. I simply own Yume, Mayumi and the plot. Stay tuned for the next chapter. Until next time. XD
