Lunch with the Akatsuki!

I grabbed my books and walked to the door with some bounce in my step. I'm starving! I thought to myself. Yeah, yeah, I had breakfast this morning but I just ate a piece of bread and a glass of orange juice before hightailing it out of the manor. Then, my mind started to wander to what kind of food was available in the cafeteria. Going to my locker, I kept my books inside and grabbed my wallet. Putting it in my jacket pocket, I closed my locker and walked down the crowded hallway. When I finally reached the cafeteria, the appetizing smell of food attacked my nose. I couldn't help myself but dash for the line, grabbing a tray. In front of me, I saw an array of food you would probably see in a 3-star restaurant's buffet. This school isn't too bad after all! I chirped to myself, grabbing a bottle of iced water. Yeah, you guessed right; I like eating food. Who doesn't? Well, maybe Sakura… She strictly eats no sugar, no carbs, no fat… Well, if she's forced to, she does put a 2100 calorie limit. How does anyone do that? Your body needs sugar, carbs and fat! Oh, I get it… So that's why she orders so many fur coats from Italy… But I seriously doubt that Italy is even that cold.

I next grabbed a plate and gave it to a non-scary looking lunch lady. "What'll you have, sweetie?" she asked me, gesturing to the array of foods there. "Uh… uh… I'll have 2 slices of pepperoni pizza, please!" I said, as my eyes slightly widened at all the food. She put the pizza on my plate and gave it to me. "You pay there," she said, pointing in the direction of where the cashier is. I nodded and putting some oregano on my pizza. I grabbed a pack of chocolate pudding and paid for my food.

Now… where to sit? I pondered, scanning the area for an empty table so I can fulfill the term 'The Loner New Kid'.

"Tomomi-chan" I heard a familiar voice shout out. "Tomomi-chan, over here!" I looked in the direction of the voice and couldn't help but smile. Tobi! I exclaimed in my head. I walked to Tobi's table where Deidara and 8 others were sitting at. "Everyone! Pein, Konan-chan, Zetsu, Itachi, Kisame, Hidan, Kakuzu, Sasori, this is Tobi and Deidara-senpai's new friend, Tomomi-chan!" Tobi said, all in one breath. And, woah, that was a mouthful. Tobi proceeded to take another deep breath.

"Tomomi-chan, meet Pein, Konan-chan, Zetsu, Itachi, Kisame, Hidan, Kakuzu and Sasori!" He said, pointing at each person as he said their names. "Here! Sit!" Tobi said, patting on an empty spot next to the person I now knew as Sasori. "Tobi, what did I tell you…" Pein said through gritted teeth, glaring at Tobi calmly. He sheepishly rubbed his head and shrugged his shoulders. "B-but…" he started, standing up from his seat and bringing Pein somewhere as he started to talk. Then, everyone at the table stared at me. Feeling very conscious and very small, I instinctively hunched my shoulders and poked at my food. Tobi and Pein came back from wherever they came from and Pein said in a powerful voice. "Everyone, Tomomi is now a member of the Akatsuki," My eyes widened at being a member of something. Akatsuki must be the name of this group! I stated, processing this in my head.

"It's about time we had another female member!" Konan spoke up, smiling at me.

"She's a member of the Akatsuki now? And what did she do to deserve it, un?" Deidara protested, glaring at me. I glared back, only with a smirk instead of a scowl. But then again, I'm also curious to know why I'm in the Akatsuki now. "Tomomi, do you have any talents?" Sasori asked, slightly smiling at me. "Well… I play the guitar and sing, so…" I replied, shrugging my shoulders a bit. "Cool," he said, smiling at me.

By the time lunch time was ending, I pretty much got along with the Akatsuki members. But seriously, why does Hidan have to swear so much? If he were on T.V. and if you censored out every swear word he said, all you'd hear would be: Beep. Well, with the exception of 'why you little' and 'you stupid', I mean. Itachi was quiet; really quiet. In fact, I think that his vocabulary count wouldn't exceed a thousand at the very least. I mean, yeah, he replies when asked but most his answers consist one syllable. Kisame, on the other hand, was a joker, always arguing with Hidan about random stuff. It was pretty funny, I'll have to admit. He's pretty nice, too! Kakuzu is really stingy; Zetsu is… I don't know. He just kind of creeps me out. Konan is really friendly and ethereal-like; Pein, in a way, is like he's cut out to be a great leader. Yeah, he also has a lot of piercings.

"Damn it! I've got f*cking science next period. F*ck! Damn it," Hidan swore under his breath, pushing anyone who got in his way. As the rest walked off, Konan stayed with me.

"Let's go to the comfort rooms," she said to me, pulling my arm in the direction of the comfort rooms.

When we went inside the comfort room, we saw a red haired girl crying there. "What's wrong?" I asked, stepping closer to the girl. She wiped her eyes and straightened herself. "That's none of your concern," she said, splashing some water on her face. I glanced at Konan and Konan went up to her. "Karin... who did it?" she said in a soft voice, placing a hand on her shoulder. "T-that b*tchy new girl, S-Sakura!" the red head I now knew as Karin said, burying her face in her hands. "That pink-haired sl*t was hitting on Sasuke-kun! My Sasuke-kun!" Typical Sakura. I slowly shook my head as I recalled all the boyfriends she's had before.

"But Karin, you're not his girlfriend..." Konan gently said. Nani? If she's not his girlfriend, then... "I know! All I ever will be to Sasuke-kun is a stupid fangirl!" Konan looked at me with pleading eyes. Clearing my throat, I spoke up, "Karin, I can help you, you know? I mean, so what if Sakura's my cousin? I know how she is,"

"R-really?" asked Karin.

"Well, of course! She's had a lot of boyfriends before... All a certain type. You know what? I can help you," I snapped my fingers smirking at Karin. "What's this Sasuke-kun of yours like?" Karin's eyes then became all misty as she gushed on and on and on about how 'hot, dangerous, smart and sexy' he was. Konan cleared her throat, making Karin pause for a while. "I meant his personality," I said, washing my hands.

I stood silent for a moment, taking this newfound knowledge in.

"Oh."

"Tomomi, Sasuke's is a typical cold bad boy type. Cold; doesn't talk to anyone; smart; and is as cocky just as he is smart." Konan explained, shrugging her shoulders a bit. i started to think about the consequences if Sakura and Aunt Chizu find out I'm trying to get back at them... Then, I thought about Karin... She's got a typical case of Fangirl Syndrome, I concluded, mentally patting myself on the back. You could practically hear the gears running in my head. "Cool," I said after a moment's thinking session. "I think I know how I can get Karin together with Sasuke!"

"Really?" Karin asked, rushing over to me and dramatically shaking my shoulder. "Y-yeah! But... it won't be easy, I can tell you that," I said with a serious face.

"But before we do anything, I'll have to do some... erm, 'human observation' so I can formulate a plan. Plus, we can't just talk here where somebody can hear us," Drying my hands thoroughly with tissue paper, Konan, Karin and I walked out and went our separate ways.

Believe me, Sakura. I'm getting even for everything you've ever done to me and all of those other girls.

How was it? Did it suck? Sorry if it wasn't too entertaining or eventful; the story has yet to begin! Yeah, yeah, the beginning ain't that good but wait until the later chaper, where there's more of a plot! BELIEVE IT!
