Hey everyone, welcome to chapter 10 of Quiet on the Campus. Cue the fireworks and confetti, unless you live in a state where fireworks are illegal, in which case it's too bad for you!

As for N3m0zCh4n's question (sorry it didn't get answered early), well, I'll answer it as best as I can:

Because I wouldn't have a story without it. Also, they're not entirely sure that the other shinobi won't accept the fact that she chose to stay with the Akatsuki. Therefore, she might be "kidnapped". And I'll do my best to lengthen chapters, though no guarantees. And as for the other characters, well, we'll see.

Thank you, and enjoy the chapter!

… … … …

Cin took in a deep breath of air, taking in the fresh air with the sweet sun shining down on her in a stereotypical movie moment where the shy geeky girl goes off to become totally popular at college.

"Cin, why don't you carry your own expletiveing stuff?"

Moment ruined.

She sighed, "Expletive."

"Ow!"

"Cindra, perhaps you should stop doing that? People might get suspicious."

"Nah, they'll come up with their own explanations."

"Why are we carrying your stuff, anyways?" Kakuzu grumbled, still not having gotten over the amount of money it would take to enroll the whole Akatsuki in college at such a late date (despite the…words used to get them in).

"Because you were the ones who insisted you wanted to come, despite my objections," she was still angry, "And also you are all stronger than me, and since due to your stupid war, I no longer have an older brother to do this for me, it's your job now."

"You were the one who chose-"

"Shut up, Deidara."

The venom in her voice made even the foolhardy bomber stop short and continue following her silently up to her dorm room where she could see that her roommate hadn't arrived yet.

"Put the stuff over there," she directed, and then had Kisame help her to set up her refrigerator up before shooing the boys out of her room, telling them to go find their dorm now.

A few minutes later, she emerged from her room upon hearing loud voices from the next hall over.

Though she mentally begged that it wasn't what she thought it was, she was proved right.

Okay, what girl doesn't want to be protected? She gets that. But getting the hall right next to HER was definitely pushing it.

The only bright side she could see in all of this was the fact that all halls would be going through Orientation separately.

Well, that, and the fact that the Akatsuki were all paired up with their partners, so there'd be no poor innocent college boys (that just sounds funny putting it like that) would be scarred from the terror of having, say, Hidan for a roommate.

"I must agree with you on that account."

[I thought you were on the other hall.]

"I can still hear you, remember?"

[People are going to give you funny looks…]

"I am in my dorm room. With the cell phone Cin suggested I get to my ear. You will need a different excuse this time."

[Shoot. That girl's too nice sometimes.]

"That, I will attest to."

Anyways, ignoring the side dialogue with the fourth-wall-breaking-character, we shall return to the main character, who is currently turning to greet her new roommate who has just entered the room.

"Um…h-h-hello?"

… … … …

So, obviously Orientation is much more than what I'll write, but because of it and my lack of time, I'm not going to go into all of it, so the next time you see them (after Cin's roommate is announced) will be around when classes start.

So, any guesses as to who it is? Of course, I could be messing around and it not even be from Naruto-world at all! In fact, I don't think I've even designated a roomie yet!

Anyways, I'll update as soon as I can, but no guarantees as to when.

RERV!
