A/N: We are going to go on an extended hiatus for reasons that will remain unknown and for an unknown period of time. That means if we ever continue this... well thats for us to know and you to wonder. (we probably lost all of our readers at this one sentence.) So here's an update which is the beginning of the actual plot that you may never get the chance to read.

Saiki: Che.. its not like we had any fans in the first place. (Except those few that are constantly commenting. Thanks, by the way.)

Stephen & James: ...Shut up.


Being isolated in a room for seven hours was not fun. Luckily for Melo she had her music with her which passed time. What did Tobi mean by sparring with Sasuke? Melo stared at her roof idly as she pondered the thought. I mean Sasuke's victory against me is inevitable…right? I wonder what Psyke's up to… Melo sighed as she closed her eyes listening to music. Melo opened her eyes as someone knocked.

"Oi little one here," Melo turned around to see Itachi open the door. Itachi walked over and threw a mask at Melo. Melo observed the mask this is an anbu mask.

"Why are you giving me an Anbu mask?" Melo questioned.

"As of today you are in a squad with Madara and my brother." Itachi stated. Melo's eyes widened.

"Wh-what are you crazy?! I'd get myself killed!" Melo spazzed and was stopped when Itachi smacked her with a pillow. And actually managed to make it hurt.

"Listen, you're registered as a member of the Sound Village. The goal is to make the Sound have an alliance with the Leaf Village. In order to create said alliance you must participate in their upcoming Chunnin exam." Itachi explained and continued, "In order to be in the exam you must have a three man squad. Tobi will accompany you to make sure everything goes as planned. Orochimaru assigned Sasuke to attend as well."

"You forget Konoha would definitely recognize Sasuke," Melo responded flatly.

"I didn't forget," Itachi shot back. "You will give him a haircut so no one recognizes Sasuke's duck butt hair." Melo laughed at the duck butt remark.

"Plus, I'll give Sasuke a blindfold for the sake of honing his chakra." Tobi's voice was crisp as he let himself enter Melo's room. Tobi didn't speak in third person…Melo twitched.

"By the way Melo you'll need an alias for the chunnin exam." Tobi pointed his index finger at Melo, "So what will it be!" Melo twitched.

"Musica," Melo replied.

"Musica of the Sound Village it is then," Tobi happily spoke.

"Hmph, I don't understand why you chose her." Melo twitched at Sasuke's voice. Sasuke entered the room and sat down on Melo's bedside. Melo glared at him while Sasuke tossed scissors at her. Melo was aware that she could totally fuck up his hair…but that'd be mean even if he is an emo bitch. Melo snipped his hair for a couple of minutes until she was satisfied. Sasuke's hair now had layers in the front and was flat on the back.

"There," Melo sighed, exhausted. Sasuke's duck butt hair had been difficult to flatten but she managed. Sasuke glanced at the mirror.

"Not bad I guess," Sasuke suppressed a 'Tch'. Tobi wrapped a black blindfold around Sasuke's eyes. Melo stared at her two squad members. Emo kid and A.D.H.D. semi-adult what fun… NOT.

"Can you two Uchiha-tards get the hell out of my room now?" Melo irritably spoke.

"Fine," Tobi motioned Sasuke to follow him "get dressed you will be having your spar with Sasuke." Melo rolled her eyes.

"Come on, isn't it obvious that the kid formally known as duck butt is going to kick my ass?" Melo glared at Sasuke, though it had little affect since Sasuke couldn't see her.

"You'd be surprised," Tobi said cryptically. As soon the Uchihas left her room Melo changed into her newly bought clothes. Melo's outfit consisted of a sleeveless dark blue top, black and white arm warmers, black shorts, and black boots. The scarf she wore was black with a small cloud at the bottom symbolizing her alliance with the Akatasuki. Melo placed the white mask on and then her necklace. Grabbing the blue knapsack Melo tied it along her waist. Finally, Melo grabbed her katana last and heaved a long sigh. My god I look retarded… Melo twitched as she stared into the mirror. Melo walked outside of the lair to see nothing more than…trees. I wonder if Pyske's alright…I should meet up with her at the exams. That is...if I'm still alive by then.

"Are you going to stand there all day?" Sasuke sneered as he pulled out his sword. Melo smirked at Sasuke who looked nothing like his original self.

"I'll end this quickly," Sasuke smirked still wearing the blindfold. Melo groaned yeah, I have no combat skills whatsoever…damn you Tobi.

"Yeah whatever let's just get this over with," Melo impatiently responded as she yanked out her sword.

"CHIDORI!" Sasuke bellowed as his sword consumed the lightning. Melo dodged the blow causing the sword to explode the tree it impacted. Melo used her sword to lift Sasuke's sword out of his hands. Sasuke growled as he clutched Melo's sword, lifting her off the ground, and using his other hand to charge up lightning. Shit. Melo knew she had to get the hell out of this position. Melo swiped her free hand at Sasuke which caused him to let go. Sasuke rubbed the clear substance off his cheek…water? What the hell is she? Melo snatched her sword and used the handle to deal a blow at Sasuke's ribcage. Sasuke gasped for air while regaining his stance he lost Melo's chakra presence. Sasuke untied his blindfold and focused his chakra.

"Sharigan!" He yelled. Sasuke's blood red eyes wandered looking for Melo.

"Hey! Look up!" Melo giggled. Sasuke quickly faced Melo and began to charge at her. Melo stared intently at the older boy and dashed at him. "Oi Asuken! You're really slow!" Melo shouted as she became a blur to Sasuke. Damn she's fast.

"Never let your enemies get behind you!" Melo grabbed Sasuke's collar and slammed him into mud. "Come on is that all you've got Sa-su-clay?" Sasuke panted as his temper rose. Sasuke threw paper bombs at the girl causing Melo to quickly use her shuriken creating explosions in the air.

"Never let your enemies get behind you right?" Sasuke smirked, "Katon: Goken No Jutsu!" Melo braced for the impact as she skidded backwards. Melo was more bewildered than fatigued. She noticed slight burn marks etched into her skin as she stood up. Melo dashed at him without retrieving her lost sword lying on the ground her hand layered with water piercing the boy above his heart. Melo jabbed Sasuke in the neck causing him to fall wheezing heavily. Melo placed her heavy boot on top of Sasuke's abdomen careful not to place pressure that would kill him. Melo gave a grin. "Yo!"

"Why aren't you killing me?" Sasuke spat not bothering to gather his strength. Sasuke noticed throughout the fight that she didn't strike anything major, although she did hit hard it wouldn't kill him.

"Well we are teammates, ne?" Melo stuck her index finger at him, "I think it would be rather rude to kill a squad member don't you?" Sasuke grunted and grabbed her ankle roughly causing her to lose balance. Sasuke pointed his blade at her glaring. "No, I don't think it would be rude." Melo blinked at him and began to laugh. Sasuke was losing his patience.

"What's so funny?" He twitched.

"Y-your face! Hahaha!" Melo rolled on the floor. Sasuke was enraged and attempted to stab Melo's cheek. Melo reacted by grabbing onto the blade tip.

"Now that's just plain rude," Melo's eyes lit up as blood dribbled from her hand. Sasuke was beginning to understand why Tobi chose her. She's insane. Sasuke winced as he felt a surge of pain running through his palm. Sasuke's eyes widened as he gained Melo's dissipating wound. What the hell…

"Well done!" Tobi shouted from a top a tree. His hands came together to clap. "I told you you'd be surprised Mel-- I mean Musica." Sasuke's eye twitched. We're going to need to have a doctor check that out, may indicate some sort of cerebral disorder.

"Musica? What kind of a name is that?" Sasuke grunted.

"It means music in Spanish." Melo glared, affronted, at Sasuke as she stood up. Melo removed her mask to wipe the sweat off her nose.

"I think this spar has brought you two closer together!" Well if that isn't the biggest lie of the century... "We'll get a 5 hour sleep kids, tomorrow we're venturing off to Konoha." Tobi gleefully stated.

"Woo hoo." Melo said sarcastically. "Tobi, aren't you like what 17? You're not that old, you have no right to call us "kids"!"

Later on at night the three members of the squad had their own separate thoughts.

Wait a minute I'm 14, Saucy's 16 and Tobi's 17…I'm the youngest and the shortest?! NO FAIR! Melo rubbed her face in the pillow.

I think…I think I should've let Kabuto do something like this…these two will drive me crazy. Sasuke groaned.

Sunshine and lollipops rainbows and lemon drops doo doo dee doo dee doo

Melo decided not to let Tobi load songs into her mp3 player any more.
