Hey guys, sorry for taking so long. I got a new game on my iPod and it is kind of addictive. Anyways, here is chapter ten, I hope you enjoy and please review if you have something to say :D

Oh I also want to point out that I am thinking of restarting First Ninjas now Wizards. It is basically about the Akatsuki being sent to an alternate world where wizards and witches replace ninjas. This will not be a Harry Potter cross over, a crack or a Mary-Sue story. I will also not be accepting OC requests. I already rewrote chapter 1 and you can find it in Chapter 3. so please read it -the "last" chapter since it is where the rewrite starts-. This will be my most focused story though so I wont give up on it.

~Pein's P.O.V~

Well, how do I describe how I feel about the last two weeks? I've only got three words to tell you. Strange, tiring and stressful. I never would have thought in all my days that I would encounter a witch. Less alone be cursed by one. Before two weeks ago I wouldn't believe that witches even existed. The world I grew up in was pretty strange and there were a few strange people in it. However, until two weeks ago, I believed that all witches and ghosts, along with other monsters, were just fairytales for young kids.

I'm actually not even fully convinced that what we dealt with was a witch. Perhaps the woman we crossed had a Kekkei genkathat allowed her to turn her enemies into animals. However, it would take a very powerful ninja to create a jutsu strong enough to send a single person to another dimension. This so called witch sent all ten of us to a world where our own is seemingly a means of entertainment to the people that live here. The only ninjas I heard of that could open up portals to other dimensions were the Uchiha clan. I highly doubt what we dealt with was a Uchiha though, as Itachi would most likely have been able to tell.

The jutsu, or curse, had almost lasted a full two weeks. At ten a-clock tonight it will also be a full week since Ashlen had found us and took us in. It was still a bit of a shock that our world exists here as a means of entertainment. If the girl didn't have the proof right in our faces, none of us would have believed her. So far Ashlen and her brother have proven to be trustworthy and hadn't told a soul about us. However, only last night did I see real sign of loyalty.

I don't understand why Ashlen bothered trying to save our lives. In our feline bodies we were weak and had limited access to our chakra. It would have been easy for those men to kill us. Deidara and Madara were lucky to get away with minor wounds, even though Madara's seemingly disappeared upon turning back. Yet, the teenager protected us from harm by using her own body as a shield which, not only harming herself, made her loose almost three pints of blood. It was strange, and I didn't understand why she did it, but I got the proof of loyalty I had been looking for.

While Ashlen was being taken care of by Kakuzu, I had Kisame and Itachi question the boy, Michael. It was evident that the child trusted these two and Kisame has seemed to take a liking for the kid. The seven year old didn't tell us a lot, which could have been because he was convinced his sister was dying and of his young age. In actual, if I hadn't had Kakuzu stitch up her wounds, the girl could have died from the loss of blood. All we got out of Michael was the name of the weapons; guns. Then he became too occupied with his sister to tell us anything else.

In return for saving our lives I made everyone agree that they were not to harm family members or friends of Ashlen and Michael if we met them. That is why I did nothing when the red headed girl, Lisa as I remember her name was, came over a few hours later. Michael, still convinced his sister was dying, tackled her in a hug. I doubt the girl even noticed us standing there as she ran upstairs to the room Madara had returned her to. She only seemed to notice when she spotted Sasori sitting at the desk.

Unsure what the weapon was capable of, I had ordered Sasori to watch Ashlen in case the so called gun was poisonous in any way. Ashlen's words about her friend not knowing about us seemed truthful when she questioned Sasori on who he was. However, her confusion turned into panic as she saw Kisame and Itachi. They were the only two that she reacted to in such a way so I assume she knew only about them. I'm not surprised as I can remember the surprised look on Ashlen's face when her friend revealed how much she watched of the so called anime.

Once realizing who Kisame and Itachi were, the teenager soon figured out who the rest of us were. I insured that, because Ashlen risked her life to save ours, we would not harm her. She didn't look completely convinced but agreed to answer a few questions we had. As such we learned more about guns and a few other weapons in this world. They were interesting but not something ninjas like us needed to use. She explained a little about how this world works and told us the name of the countries and the town that was located near by.

Afterwords I allowed her to wait for her friend to wake up with Sasori. Michael had fallen back to sleep and Kisame took him back to bed. Everyone else went back down to the living room, where I had Itachi place a genjutsu on the blood stained carpet. Playing his role as an idiot, Madara sat on the carpet and began to play with one of the dogs. I noticed that he twitched as he sat and guessed he was still in pain from being shot in the tail. He had no wound to show for it obviously but he could still feel it apparently.

While we were waiting for Sasori to come down, Hidan had fallen asleep. It seemed like a bother to try to wake him so I allowed him to sleep for now. Itachi had taken the laptop that had attempted to be stolen and was looking up information we couldn't get out of Lisa. Kakuzu had decided to pass the time by reading the book Ashlen had left downstairs last night. Deidara was leaning against the wall and I was currently speaking to Konan. Kisame had gone to the kitchen to prepare something for our teenaged host to eat to help regain her strength as well as make something for the rest of us. As for Zetsu, he was either finishing off the corpses or exploring the forest outside.

When Sasori finally did come down, I ordered Deidara to go help Ashlen downstairs. If it wasn't for the fact I knew the puppet master -who I never imagined to look so young- was in a bad mood, I would have had him do it. Sasori was the only person out of all of us to appear with his weapons, as speaking his whole body was a weapon. Well I full out knew he wouldn't dare attack me, I knew it was better to send someone else to get the girl.

This is where we were now. Deidara had brought the girl downstairs, piggyback style. She didn't look to comfortable about it and Lisa still looked frightened. It was not to be unexpected on the red headed girl's part. Though I keep my word not to harm friends and family members, I said nothing about anyone else. Both girls probably know this, which is probably why Ashlen looks so uncomfortable. Of course in a world with weapons like guns I am sure no one will be foolish enough to attack just anyone.

~Normal P.O.V~

I can't remember ever feeling so nervous in my whole life. Not even when I was asked to read my English Language Art essay out in front of the whole class. That is one thing I really hate about school; standing in front of the inter class and reading what you learned. I hate it because it lets people judge you on how smart you are and what you know. I've already said I struggle in some classes, so I hate it when that weakness is revealed.

"There is no need to be so nervous. We are not foolish enough to harm the person that, not only took care of us for nearly a week, but risked her life to save ours. In return we have agreed to not harm you, your brother, friends or other family members if we should ever met them. Considering if they agree to keep our secret, of course." Pein's voice seemed to echo in the silent room, the only other sounds were everyone's breathing and Hidan's heavy breathing. Like both Deidara and Sasori, Pein's voice was the same as the English voice actor that played him.

"Thank you." I said gratefully. Even though he frightened me I believed he was being honest.

"Is he supposed to be sleeping?" Lisa asked from beside me. I turned to look at her to see that she was looking at Hidan.

"Trust us, he's better left sleeping." A deep, gruff, voice replied. I was surprised that it was Kakuzu, as I forgot what his English voice sounded like.

I actually started watching Naruto in Japanese, I think. I actually can't remember. I watched most in English but there were a few I watched in Japanese. So I knew both English and Japanese voices the characters had. I for one preferred the English voices, not because I can actually understand them, but because they sound younger. For example the Japanese voice actor for Deidara sounds a little too deep for my liking. After all Deidara is only nineteen in the anime, so shouldn't he at least sound a little younger or closer to his age?

Speaking of which, I should ask for their ages. If Sasori was still alive I take it they hadn't gone after Gaara yet. I didn't plan to tell them much of the future, as I didn't want important people to die because of me, but I wanted to prove I was loyal. At least to the point where the ninjas wont get bored with me and back out on their word that they wont kill me. I already trusted Nagato, or Pein, to keep his word, but what about the others?

The only people I am actually really worried about were Kakauzu, Hidan, Sasori and Zetsu. Kakuzu had a bad temper and I doubt he would hold back his anger if I ever made him angry. Hidan was obvious, and I hoped learning I wasn't a atheist heathen would make him leave me alone. Sasori was creepy who had little regard for human life. Even if he didn't kill me I hope he didn't plan to poison me. Zetsu was a cannibal who got a taste of me when he pulled that bullet out of my foot. Even though I am grateful he helped me I hope he doesn't have plans for a second taste.

Everyone else I trusted with my safety. Kisame I was a little nervous to meet but that was because he was admittedly intimidating. However, because he seemed close to my brother as a cat, I trusted him. Itachi was also easy trust but I'll be careful not to be too comfortable around him as I didn't want to give away his secret. Deidara I trusted with my safety but I'll be sure to keep him away from clay. Pein and Konan were easy to trust though also not to be taken too lightly. I believe that they wont hurt me but I will still be careful around them. Then there is Tobi.

Obito Uchiha. I was unsure if I could trust him or not. Since I told him I knew about him, though as Madara, I don't know what would happen if we were alone. Try to get more information out of me that I can be sure of. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew I knew more than I told him. Perhaps he knew I knew he wasn't really Madara. However I think mentioning he was Obito, something no one knew, not even Pein or Itachi, was a dangerous mistake. It was better and safer to think he was Madara. So, even though Pein promised us no harm I couldn't say the elder Uchiha agreed with him.

Speaking of Uchiha, I noticed Itachi doing something to my laptop. If I remember correctly the Naruto world does have computers but I don't know how advanced they are. I think they are for mission and business use only, storing data and that kind of thing. If that is what Itachi was looking for he's in for a surprise when he finds not only information but stories, games, pointless information and more. I just hope he didn't come across any Akatsuki porn or yaoi since that was something I didn't want to answer to.

"Now that we've been able to regain our normal forms, it seems we have some new problems to take care of." Pein's voice interrupt my train of thought. Blinking back into reality I looked up at the ginger haired man.

Huh... I wonder how Nagato still has control over this body. If they really were cursed by a witch, was it a side effect? I don't think she would have known then this body was not his real one. It was one of those questions that plagued my mind but I knew I shouldn't ask. Not only would it be rude but I don't know how many members exactly knew who Pein really was. It's obvious everyone will realize I know their secrets sooner or later but that doesn't mean I will tell everyone.

"Until we can create a jutsu that will take us home, we need a place to live. It would be wisest to stay here but we need to know a couple of things before anything can be finalized."

Konan surprised me by speaking up. She didn't talk much in the anime, not that I can remember anyways. The first time I can actually remember her talking was during the attack on Konoha. She sounded almost emotionless but I could hear her tone coated with seriousness and maturity. Many Akatsuki fans like to make her compassionate and mother like when it comes to younger OCs. I guess I'll have to wait and see if she was like that in real life.

"If you are implying my parents, they wont be home for about two months. Sleeping spaces is also not a problem. Besides my parent's room and sister's, there are four free bedrooms. As long as I really don't have to worry about being killed or on edge all the time, there shouldn't be a problem with you staying here." I said the last part uncomfortably, as if unsure if I should be saying anything at all. A small silence filled the room, as if everyone was thinking, and the only sounds were Hidan's deep breathing and Itachi clicking away on my laptop.

~Third Person P.O.V~

This girl was beyond weird. Not only did she save their lives by risking her own, but now she trusted them? Nobody trusted the Akatsuki. Some people might believe in the goal of peace at most yet why would anyone trust trust it's members? While Pein and Konan could enforce the rule about harming Ashlen, her friends and family members, it didn't mean all members would listen. If pushed the wrong way, be it any reason, most members wont take it too kindly. The only ones that would try to hold back were Itachi, Kisame, Pein and Konan. Kisame would probably only hold back if Itachi told him to as well.

"You're a very stupid girl." Sasori insulted blankly. Ashlen found herself frowning and opened her mouth to reply.

RING

Everyone in the room either tensed or flinched, even Lisa and Ashlen. Hidan awake with a start, demanding what was happening. Ignoring the Jashinist, Ashlen quickly grabbed the house phone that was on the side table next to the couch. Realizing that it was just a phone, everyone relaxed. Hidan grumbled about being woken up, which resulted in Kakuzu hitting him with the book, and Itachi looked up from the laptop.

"Crap, it's the school." Ashlen swore, recognizing the caller I.D as it rung again. She hesitated answering it for more than one reason.

The biggest reason she didn't answer was she didn't know what to tell the school. Normally a school didn't call until after school was over. However the rule was different for the Parker family. Because the Parker family donated a lot of money to the school for field trips, new gym equipment and anything else, Ashlen was very popular with the school staff. While she didn't like school, Ashlen wasn't one the kind of kid that would cut school unless she was very sick. The other reason was if the Akatsuki would let her anwer.

"Answer but put it on speakerphone." Pein ordered as the phone rung a fourth time. Two more times and it would go to voice mail.

"Why are they calling so early? It's only ten thirty." Lisa wondered. Ashlen only shrugged as she complied to Pein's order.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Ashlen. Are you feeling aright?" The voice of the school sectarian, Mrs. Dawns, exited through the phone. While the Akatsuki knew little about phones, their world had wireless communicators and walky talkies. Plus Ashlen explained a little about technology a few days ago.

"Well, no. I haven't been feeling good all morning. I've been feeling really weak and tired since the middle of the night. Plus I hurt my foot last night walking down the stairs without the light on." She gave a part lie. Without going into details Ashlen was truthful about feeling weak but lied about how she hurt her foot.

"Oh, well that's too bad. I'm actually just calling to ask if your parents are still willing to donate five thousand dollars for the light and sound system in the gym." The voice replied. Lisa rolled her eyes and Ashlen looked as if she had just remembered something that had been forgotten.

Ever since Ashlen's family had started helping out the high school, they had been taken advantage of. The school would still hold fun raisers such as bake sales and fun fairs when it was warm enough. However, the school liked mooching off the Parker family because they knew the family had more than enough money and was happy to help. Sooner or later the family was going to catch on to this and stop paying for everything.

"Oh, I actually don't know. My parents have left for a second honey moon kind of thing and wont be back until mid November at the most. I don't know if they can wire me the money to give and I was only given enough money to support my brother and I until they get back." Ashlen partly lied again. She had more than enough money but with the Akatsuki living with her now, she'd need every cent.

"Ah, I understand than. It's no problem, we can easily organize a fun raiser. Anyways, I hope you are well enough to come back to school tomorrow. Before I hang up, Lisa Burbank isn't with you, is she?" Mrs. Dawns asked, a knowing tone in her voice. Ashlen hesitated to answer as she looked over at her red headed friend.

Lisa was hiding her face in a hand, looking extremely shameful. As a A+ student that skipped a grade, Lisa prided herself on her school work. She enjoyed doing her school work and looking forwards to a good grade. The fifteen year old girl didn't like skipping out and would only do so if she was sick, really sick. If it was just a normal cold, Lisa would still try to go to school. If it was a flue or another infectious disses then she would stay home. It was because of this that Ashlen actually hated Lisa when they first met and vises versa.

When Lisa and Ashlen first met, they hated each other. Lisa thought Ashlen was a spoiled, stuck up rich kid and Ashlen thought Lisa was a stuck up know it all. It wasn't until over three years ago where their feelings for each other changed. Lisa learned that, while she thought at first Ashlen family just liked to font their money around, Ashlen was actually very generous. She also learned that Ashlen was very kind and friendly but struggled in some of her classes. When Lisa became her health partner is when they really became friends.

Like with Lisa, Ashlen learned that she shouldn't have judge people before she got to know them. She learned that Lisa wasn't only kind, friendly and had a sense of humor she liked, but they had a lot in common. As it turns out Lisa's family was also quite wealthy. Not nearly as rich as Ashlen's but her mother brought home a quarter of a million dollars a year and her father made one hundred thousand dollars a year if not more. They learned they both had a interest in anime, that they followed the same religion, we both liked the same junk food and, most important, we both hate Anan.

"I'm here, Mrs. Dawns. I'm helping Ashlen take care of Michael since I missed the bus and my parents couldn't take me." Lisa spoke out, removing her hand from her face. A silence in the room made the two girls feel uncomfortable, only for it to be broken by the voice over the phone.

"Oh well, alright then. I hope to see you both Monday. Have a good day." The sectarian then hung up. Letting out a deep sigh, Ashlen hung up.

"I'm going to be in a lot of trouble if she calls my parents." Lisa groaned and re-hid her face in her hands. Ashlen noticed a few looking confused, as others looked uninterested but ignored it.

"Something seems to be burning." Itachi spoke up for the first time that morning. Everyone, besides Sasori, went silent as the smell of burning food waffled into the room.

Realizing what happened, Pein ordered Itachi to go check on his partner. The tall, blue ninja wasn't a horrible cook but the technology was very different than the technology back home. So either it was difficult to use style of oven here or Kisame had just lost his focus and stopped paying attention to what he was doing. Either way, Itachi closed the laptop, handed it back to Ashlen -who took it back without hesitation- and left the room.

"Once the ordeal with the burnt food is dealt with, we will discus sleeping arrangements." Pein ordered before motioning for Konan to follow him out of the room. Once the girls were now alone with the six remaining Akatsuki members, things got a little tense for the two of them.

"Well," Deidara started with a grin on his face. "This should be fun, un."

I think after 10 chapters I would actually speak of who Tobi really is XD I realized I forgot to make Ashlen realize a few things, such as a unmasked Kakuzu, but I will blame that on blood loss and she will realize last chapter

I hope you enjoyed XD please give First Ninjas now Wizards a look

Ah, I also want to note I wanted to give the Akatsuki a reason not to harm the OC's family or friends. Even though they are crinimals I think they can return a favor when they need to. Just because they wont harm these people doesn't mean they have to be nice to them either. This doesn't mean this will be Mary-Sue or people will fall in love. I still plan to have people die and such
