Deidara ended up driving me to an open and empty feild. He took off fingerless gloves that he was wearing. (wonder why I didn't notice that?) He grabbed clay and gripped it for a moment. Then He set it down and it grew into a fucking bird.

"What the hell!?" I blurted.

He made some kind of sign with his hands and yelled "Katsu!" and the bird blew up.

"Holy father and his gummy bears!"

"ART IS A BLAST!" he yelled. "That is what you'd learn from me if I was your sempai. The wonderful shortlasting art, un!"

I sweat dropped. "So... You're a terrorist?"

"No, un!"

"Really? From what I just saw, you are a freaking terrorist. I don't really want to be a terrorist. I don't like fire. In case you didn't hear about two recent deaths in my family." I said harshley.

"Aw come on! I'm showing you true art! I've seen you draw enough in class to know that you love art, un!" he said pointing at me.

"And? I'm not seeing the point here."

"The point is I could teach you true art! Art that only lasts a moment, but is forever remembered by everyone, un!"

My brother burning and my mom flashed through my mind. I stared down at the ground and walked back to the car. He's definately off my list.

°○• ✘ _°○• ✘

We got back to the base. The drive there and back took an hour, so I got to move on to someone else.

"Who's next?" I asked with crossed arms.

The members who were in the living room exchanged glances. Sasori sighed and stood up. He gestured for me to follow him. We walked down the halls, and he walked into a random room. His and someone elses room I think.

There was two beds. One on one side of the room and same with the other. One the left side there was posters with explosions on them, and a bunch of explosive clay. Deidara's room too.

Sasori walked to the side that had puppets on the walls, a work table, and a cabinet with various liquids in various colors. Sasori sat on the desk chair, and I sat on the bed.

"I know almost everything about you. So I guess I should say some about me. My art is puppets. I make them myself and use them in combat. Do you pay attention in history?"

"Um. Here and there."

"Back a few centuries ago the people in Leaf town practiced things called jutsus. There was ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and genjutsu. Those were the most baisic ones. The akasuki members still use these things today. Everyone has something called chakara. I use my chakara to move my puppets."

"Chakara. I think I've heard it mentioned before."

"Yes we had a lesson on it last week. You, I have to say, have a massive amount of chakara. It might even rival Itachi's chakara. It would be whomever you chose to be your sempai to teach you how to use your chakara. Every member knows how to use it, as will you in time."

"Oh. That's cool. So what are those?" I asked pointing to the cabinet of liquids.

"Those are drugs and poisons. All with similar, but different effects."

"Oh... Well... That's just peachy."

°○• ✘ _°○• ✘

The hour flashed by. I might take Sasori into concideration. He's not that bad, but my only problem with that is I'd have to deal with Deidara. I've noticed the pairs that have been made. Itachi and Kisame share a room, Deidara and Sasori, Hidan and Kakazu, I had no idea with Pein and Konan, and I don't even want to know where Zetzu stays. Hey where does Tobi sleep? Then again why should I care?

I sat down on the couch. "Next."

All the members left the room except for Kakazu. He was busy counting money. I pulled up a chair to him. "So. What do you have to teach me?"

"Money." he said simply.

"Oh this'll be interesting." I said with sarcasm.

In the end I only learned some pretty good ways to save money, and how to gamble. Put an X next to Kakazu.

°○• ✘ _°○• ✘

I got stuck with Hidan next. The whole hour he ranted on how great his Jastin person was. I tuned him out the entire time. I scribbled Hidan's name out completly in my mental list of possible sempais.

°○• ✘ _°○• ✘

Kisame was next. I have to say he wasn't bad either. He didn't annoy me like most the others did. But I just couldn't get over the fact that his land sharkness just kinda scared me. I reminded myself not to go swimming with him.

So that crosses off Kisame. Fuck. This only leaves either Itachi or Sasori.

°○• ✘ _°○• ✘

It was Itachi's turn now. He gestured for me to follow him. I did and he took me to the roof.

We sat down staring off into the distance. "Itachi. Why were you so nice to me last night?" I asked.

"Because I know the pain of losing someone dear to you. I've expeirienced it myself."

"I see. Thank you. For saving me. You really didn't have to do that."

"It would have disturbed the peace if I'd let it happen. Besides. I see you as a fine addition to our cause, and your own cause."

"So what? You read my mind?"

"If you were planning on getting revenge no matter what then yes I did."

My mouth hung open. He lightly pushed it shut. "You'll catch flies if you do that too long."

I stared at him for a long moment. "Itachi. What would you teach me if I were your student?"

He stared in the distance for a moment. "Depending on if you could handle my training I'd teach you just about everything I know. By the time you learned and mastered everything, you'll probably be 30 to 40 years old. That's average calculation though. You, whom have skipped a grade might learn a little faster than that."

"How'd you know I skipped a grade?"

"I read your file."

I sweat dropped. "Why?"

"I was ordered to. We do what we're ordered to do. No matter what our opinion. Something I suggest you get use to. Since you don't take orders very well."

I scoffed. "Got that right. So why did you all just stare at me all week?"

"We were told to. Keep our eyes on you at all possible times. He ment that literally. He told us not to speak to you, just observe. I was told to follow you home yesterday, but I was distracted. I went searching for you, noticed the fire, went to see what was going on, and I saw them dragging you to that other post."

"I see. So do you all mindlessly follow whatever Pein tells you too?"

"Basically, yes. He only orders things that support the cause. He's the leader. He says jump, you ask how high?"

"I see. There's no way I'm going to be able to talk or run away from this. Is there?"

"No. Not as long as you're breathing."

"Hn. Well... How am I going to explain all this to my dad? He definatley won't stand for this."

"Pein's contacting your father now. In fact he's on the phone with him at this very moment. He'll probably make up a cover story. Eventually you will perminatley live here."

"Okay follow up question. If I have to stay here, is there any way I can get my own room? I really don't want to share with a bunch of guy's."

"That'll have to be up to you to figure out. You'd also have to get permission from your sempai and leader sama."

"Do you guys have a basement?"

"Zetzu's room."

"Okay how about an attick."

"Yes we have an attick. I don't think it's occupied by anyone at this time."

"Awsome. I'll go for that then."

"How do you know he'll aggree to it?"

"Because it's not healthy for a girl to live in a house full of guys. Girls need their private space. It's only tolerable if the boy and girl are married, or the girl is sharing with another girl... and their not lesbian. Which I'm not."

"Information I didn't need."

"Um okay. Why'd you ask then? You know what lets get to another topic. Do you read books?"

"Yes. I do enjoy books."

"Awsome. Non-fiction or fiction?"

"Either or."

"Favorite kind of book?"

"Hard bound."

"No I mean like what the story's about. Like Science, romance, tragety, thriller. Things like that."

"I don't particularly have a favorite."

"Do you always answer questions in the shortest way possible?"

"Do you always go from one question to the next?"

"I'll take that as a yes. Besides Sasori, you seem to be the only one who doesn't annoy me or disturb me."

He only stared at me, I smiled slightly. "You seem a lot like my brother. Only he was a little louder with his words, and spoke his mind when he wanted." I said having a personal flash back.

"So. What do you plan to do now?"

"Well... It's obvious any chances for escape are eliminated. I don't nessecerily want to die any time soon. I guess I'll take a pick, and go with the chaotic flow of the Akatsuki."

He smirked. "Good luck staying above the water."

A side glanced at him. "Itachi. Will you tell me what chakara is?"

°○• ✘ _°○• ✘

I plopped down on the couch and stared at the screen. Sasori was flipping through channels, Hidan glared at me as soon as I walked in the room, Deidara smirked at me, Kisame, like me, stared boredly at the TV screen.

"So, un?"

"So what?"

"Am I your new sempai, hm?"

"No, and still thinking about it."

"What to you mean no, un?"

"I mean. I don't want to learn to be a terrorist. If I wanted to do that I'd talk to Achmed the dead terrorist. At least he'd crack a few jokes here and there." I said still staring at the TV screen.

"I'm not a damn terrorist, un!"

"What ever Deidara. I don't even care anymore."

"I do, un!"

"Why?"

He paused. "Because I'm the greatest one here, un!"

"Sure you are. So am I to call you 'Leader Sama'? No. That's Pein. Just leave me alone. I need to think."

He crossed his arms and glared at the TV. Sasori came in my defense. "Deidara. Stop pouting like a child. Brat."

"Shut up Danna, un!"

I wondered what Danna ment, but I decided to keep the thought to myself. "What time is it?"

"Almost 6." Kisame said.

"And why is there no food cooking?"

"Because we normally eat out all the time. We have the pizza guy on speed dial." he answered.

I shook my head. "Let me guess. Konan gave up cooking a looong time ago for you ingreats."

"In greats? I'll sacrifice you to Jastin bitch!"

"Don't call me bitch, twat. Jastin doesn't exist. I've already almost been killed once. I don't want to do it again."

"You just call me a twat?"

"Yes. Yes I did. That's now you nickname Twat."

"I'm not a twat!"

"What are you talking about? Of course you are... Twat booger."

His face got really red and he stompped out of the room. I stuck my tounge out in the direction he stomped off too.

Kisame held a fist to me. I punched his fist with my own. "Not bad hit. For a little girl."

"Looks can be very diseaving Kisame."

He stared at me for a moment. "You're not that bad kid."

"You're not bad either. Well you know, for a land shark."

He laughed. "Yeah. Things are going to be histerical when you're around."

I smiled at him. "Yup. That's the typical goth for ya."

"Dark on the outside, bright on the inside."

"Hell yes. AMEN! to that."

I heard some very bad words shouted from some random room. Hidan's voice of course. I chuckled.

"Well fuck him too." I said picking up the phone. "So what kind of pizza for everyone?"

°○• ✘ _°○• ✘

Everyone was gathered in the living room. Munching on pizza. Even Pein and Konan joined us. Which by the other members reactions that was a rarety.

"Kitsune. Have you chosen your sempai?" Pein asked in his super deep voice.

I chewed my pizza and swallowed. "Only three people in the whole list of people you set me with aren't total asses, or don't annoy me. I've narrowed it down to two people, but can't decide which one. Both would teach me some valuble skills, and I get along with them both quite well."

He sat patiently, not moving a muscle. I continued on.

"I think I'm close to deciding, but just can't quite decide. I need to think it over a little more." Deidara and Hidan glared at me. Kakazu was eating pizza with one hand counting money with the other. Itachi, Kisame, and Sasori were all staring at me.

"Make your desition by 10:00 tonight." he said.

"Okay. When I make my desition, I'll need to ask you and my sempai something."

He didn't reply, he quickly ate his pizza and disapeared down the hall. Konan was staring after him, then she turned her attention to me. "We should get you some new clothes shouldn't we? I'll take you shopping when you finished eating." she said politely.

"Thank you Konan-chee. You might be the nicest person here."

"Thank you. It's about time I get a girl in this group."

"Right. I can only imagine how you must feel. I say imagine since I've yet to experience it and because I don't know you very well."

I devoured the rest of my food, and Konan held a hand out to Kakazu. He looked pissed as hell. He handed over the money to Konan. She took it and jingled her keys. I followed her to her sleek purple car.

°○• ✘ _°○• ✘

Konan and I walked in with like 15 baggs of clothes and shoes. We dumped them on the floor and sat down on the couch. Pein walked in.

"Have you made your desision?" he asked.

I rolled the thought through my head again. "I have an idea." I took a quarter out of my pocket. "Heads sempai number 1. Tails sempai number two." I flipped the coin.

Heads. "Well that settles it. Itachi's my new sempai."

"Very well."

Itachi, who was sitting in the chair closest to me looked at Pein, then at me.

"Kitsune. You had a question?"

"Yes. I'd like to know if it would be okay if I lived in the attick."

Pein looked to Itachi. Itachi said "I will go with what ever desision you make leader sama."

Pein looked at me. His eyes flickered behind me then back at me. "Very well. You will be making the nessesary improvements that are needed to make the room habitable on your own. I don't nessesarily care how you get the tools and other supplies."

With that he left. I turned to Konan. "Was it you that he looked at?"

She didn't say anything. I smiled and hugged her. "Thank you Konan-chee."

She stiffened, then relaxed and returned the hug. I let her go. "Sorry. I'm a hugger. I can't help it. It's just my nature."

She smiled softly. "Don't apologize. I'm just not used to showing such affection."

I nodded in understanding. "Okay. So I'm going to need a few things. Where the entrance to the attick is, where a broom and dust pan are or a vaccum cleaner, a duster, and light if there's not any up there."

Konan nodded. "I think you should do all the work tomarrow. It's late."

I yawned on cue. "Man. You're right. Where am I gonna sleep tonight then?"

"You'll sleep in my bed. Meanwhile I'll take the couch." Itachi said.

"But I've already taken your bed from you once. I don't think that seems fair to you Itachi."

"I've made my desision. You as my student will follow my orders."

"I didn't know it was an order. I thought it was a suggestion." I said defensively.

Itachi stared at me for a long moment, then stared at the AMB fight on TV. I turned back to Konan. "Where's the shower?"

°○• ✘ _°○• ✘

I got into my new pajamas (black shirt, black fuzzy shorts with skulls on them). I walked into the living room. All of my new clothes were gone.

"I put them in Kisame and mine's room." Itachi said. Once more reading my mind.

"Thank you. Good night... Sempai." I said.

We stared at each other for a long moment. Then he did the weirdest thing. He similed! I've never seen him smile! Ever since the first day of me moving here. I've never seen anything, but the emotionless mask, a smirk, and his angry face.

"Good night. Kitsune." he said.

I returned the smile back to him and walked to his and Kisame's room. Kisame was already asleep. I tiptoed quietly to Itachi's bed and snuggled under the covers. I'm so asking him to come help me find a comforter and awsome as this one.

With that I driffted off to sleep.

°○• ✘ ~ Authors note! ~ °○• ✘

Okay gummy bears. I've noticed I've become a potty mouth in this story. I'll try to back off of that a little bit. So was it surprising? No? No? Yeah. I saw it coming too. I can't help it I freaking love Itachi! he's my favorite character!

I love Deidara and Sasori as well, but Itachi beats all. (My opinion)

So... Am I doing a good job so far? Am I moving it all too fast? Do you guys want more detail? I only skip parts because they're boring or I'm lazy.

By the way. I really want to know how good my story so far is. So rate 1 to 10 on how good I'm doing. Please people Review!

One more announcement. We all know school's starting up if it hasn't already started for some of you. Do you know what school means for me? It means 8 hours of B.S., band practice (if I'm still in it after the first week), homework, chores, and my social life. I won't have a lot of time to update. So I'm sorry if after August 27th you wait like forever for me to upload a new chapter.

Oh! one more thing. I just feel like saying this. I smashed my thumb in a door today. It really hurts. Not so much now since it's been a few hours, but it hurts if I move it too much. Hey maybe I could use it as an excuse for band! No? No? Yeah you're right. That'd be wrong.

Well that's all I have to say for now. Until my next chapter gummy bears and chocolate bunnies.
