After the night was over, I woke up to finding myself in between a snoring and drooling Tobi.

I moved myslef out of the pile and stretched cracking a few bones as well.

I checked my phone aand saw that there was only 1 text message and it was from Temari.

It said: Band practice at 2pm

I checked the clock and it was still only 9 in the morning. I had a while before I had to leave.

I jumped when I heard screaming coming from uostairs and that's when I noticed that Kisame, Hidan, and Deidara were missing from the floor.

I went upstairs and opened the door to find out what they were doing when I saw what they were doing.

"Why are you screaming at a peice pf paper and 2 pencils?" I asked.

"We're not screaming at the paper and 2 pencils we're screaming because fucking dickhead Charlie over here won't let us leave!" Hidan said.

I sat down in between Kisame and Deidara looking at the way the paper was set up. There was a cross going vertically and horizontally on the paper and the pencils were doing that as well but the pencil on top was balanced.

Diagonally from each other it said 'No fuck off' and on the other side it said 'fuck yeah!' I assumed Hidan did this.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"We are playing the Chalie Charlie pencil game" Kisame said.

"That soundsike a load of bullshit to me" I said.

"It isn't watch, yeah!" Deidara said.

"Charlie Charlie are you here?" They all asked.

I wasn't impressed as nothing happened.

"Well this was a complete waste of my time" I said.

"Wait give Charlie a chance to respond" Kisame said.

I raised an eyebrow then shrugged.

My eyes perked up when I saw the pencil move to 'fuck yeah!'.

"Did one of you just blow on the pencil?" I asked.

"No!" They all coursed.

"It was Charlie. Look, Charlie Charlie if you are here then show yourself" Hidan said.

Suddenly the door behind us closed and it was wide open. Okay, now I'm getting scared.

"The game works like this. You first ask Charlie of he is here and then you can't leave the game until Charlie says you can but everytime we ask him he keeps pointing to 'no fuck off'" Kisame said.

"Charlie Charlie are you Japanese?" I asked.

The pencil pointed to 'no fuck off!'. That almost seems harsh if I hadn't known that Hidan was the one who wrote it.

"Charlie Charlie can we fucking leave?" Hidan asked.

The pencil turned all the way around and went back to 'no fuck off!'.

"What more do you want from us, un?!" Deidara yelled.

"Charlie Charlie are you a follower of Jashin?" Hidan asked.

The pencil stayed on 'no fuck off!'.

"Well fuck you too Charlie that's why nobody likes your bitch ass" Hidan said.

"Charlie Charlie it took me 15 minutes to find this piece of paper and 2 pencils in this house so could you please cooperate?" Kisame asked.

The pencil still hadn't moved.

"Let me try. Charlie Charlie are you tired of the whole god damn world asking of you're here?" I asked.

The pencil went to 'fuck yeah!'.

"Well at least we know that much" I said.

"Charlie Charlie are you the kid from Charlie and the Chocalate Factory?" Kisame asked.

The pencil went to 'no fuck off!'.

"Jeez, harsh much?" Kisame muttered.

"Charlie Charlie can we please leave?" I asked politely.

The pencil went to 'fuck yeah!' And when it did that Hidan took the paper and immediately ripped it up and broke both the pecils in half.

"Fuck this game, fuck this paper, fuck these papers, and fuck you Charlie!" Hidan yelled.

I had left thr Akatsuki's house after the little Charlie Charlie game and decided to just head over to Temari's house since it was almost time for band practice anyways.

I knocked on the door and waited for someone to open the door. When no one answered I jiggled the door knob and surprisingly it was left unlocked.

"Temari? Are you here?" I asked as I walked up the stairs.

I went to check in her room and opened the door but immediately backtracked after what I saw.

I closed the door and booked it out of the house as fast I could. Faster than I ever have in my entire life.

I couldn't get the picture out of my head. Temari and Shikamaru...they were...I don't even want to think about it!

I tried erasing the picture out of my head but then I bumped into somebody.

"Oi watch where your going, un!" the all too familiar 'un' hinted me at who it was.

I looked up and saw Deidara was looking down at me in confusion. I sprang back up into my feet.

"S-Sorry" Why am I apologizing? He's the one who bumped into me! Even though I was thinking that my whole body was saying something else.

"Are you okay? Did that game mess with your head? You never apologize, yeah" Deidara said.

I blushed faintly and looked away.

"I'm fine!" I huffed.

"Hey, you want to come to an art show with me, un?" Deidara asked.

Art show? Just the two of us? Like a...no way! What am I thinking?! I don't even like him like that!

I couldn't stop the blood that rushed to my cheeks.

"Hey are you sure you're okay? Your face is red, yeah" My face turned even redder.

He was actually showing a bit of concern for me. The way he pouted slightly was really cute. Did I just call him cute?

"Uh, I-I'm fine! Sure, I'll go with you" I said.

The smile that flashed on his face as it lit up after I said yes was breathtaking.

I was startled when he grabbed my hand and began dragging me.

"What are you doing?!" I yelled.

"We're gonna miss it if we don't hurry up, un!" He yelled back.

In the midst of it, I found myself smiling.

I was amazed at all the different types of art there were. Some were just random splatters of paint but they still showed their expression.

Sonething at the far corner of the room caught my attention. It was a golden toilet. Made put of actual gold.

If Kakazu were here, I know he would be saying something along the lines of "What the hell is this?! Why would someone waste so much money on something you take a shit in? What does he use to wipe his ass the Mona Lisa?".

I chuckled to myself and went back to looking around.

Soon the exhibit was over and me and Deidara began to walk around.

"Today was really fun. I enjoyed looking at all the art!" I said.

I couldn't believe what I was saying. I had actually enjoyed something with the blonde. Maybe he isn't so bad after all.

"Well I knew that you would like it" He wore a smug smirk on his face.

Instead of getting ticked like I usually would, I just smiled.

"Yeah" I didn't see the blush in his face because I had walked in front of him.

Today was great.

Today is going to be terrible. Another day of school and I think My brain is going to explode.

Sometimes I wish I could write a not to Algebra saying, "Dear Algebra, stop asking us to find your x and don't ask y" If I could just put that in a test and get a 100 my life would be perfect.

As I walked through the halls I heard people whispering about new students.

About time, now I won't be the 'nebie' anymore around here.

I swotched my books in my locker for my morning periods and when I closed the locker I was startled to see Deidara right behind it.

"Boo" He said.

I slapped his shoulder.

"You nearly gave me a heart attack!" I exclaimed.

"Well that wouldn't be good now would it?" I could already tell from his tone of voice that it was a rhetorical question.

For some reason I still couldn't feel the anger that I usually would feel when he did something like this. What is wrong with me? Maybe that game is messing with my head.

Deidara and I went our seperate ways as we had different classes.

It was then that I heard the obnoxious laughter of those 3 girls.

Pinkie, Blondie, and Firecracker were walking in my direction but I paid no attention to them.

Well I tried, when one of the bumped shoulders with me.

"Watch where you're going!" Firecracker yelled.

Not today. I will not let these 3 ruin my morning. I kept walking and didn't pay any mind as they kept barking insults at me.

It felt good knowing that I won.

"Class this is our new student Kotaro Kojima" Kotaro sent a flirty wink and sone of the girls squealed.

I rolled my eyes. Another pig, why can't men be civilized and not go after anything that has two legs?

"Now I would like a volunteer to show Kotaro around" Every girl in the classroom stuck their hand up.

I reframed from doing it because I already had enough problems on my own but luck just wasn't on my side today.

"Akira, you know what it is like to be new so why don't you help Kotaro out?" I grimaced went Kotaro sent a flirty glance my way.

"But I'm-" I was cut off with a fierce glare from the teacher.

I sweatdropped and just nodded.

After showing that nuisance around, I found Hidan and decided to listen to one of his 'slice of life' bullshit stories.

"So there was this one time when I walked by a cop and yold his fat ass to eat a donut" I sighed.

"Ok what does this have anything to do with you getting into a fight?" I asked.

"Bitch will you let me finish the fucking story?!" Hidan yelled.

I shrugged.

"As I was saying, moments later I was jumped by a gang and when I asked for help the fucking cop took a bite of his donut and shrugged his shoulders leaving me there!" I laughed a bit.

"Dont laugh. That is not fucking funny!" Hidan yelled.

"Well what the hell did you expect? You stereotyped him and then asked for his help! I wouldn't help you" I said.

"Fuck you" Hidan grumbled and walked away from the table.

Suddenly my vision went dar and I began to panic.

"Who is it?! Look I'm sorry for whatever the hell I did to you and I probably did it because i don't like you!" I yelled.

A familiar laughter rang thhrough my ears and I threw myself at them.

"Midori! You're here" I cried.

"Yup!" She giggled.

"You're not supposed to be here for another 2 weeks!" I said.

"I know but for some reason my parents wanted us to move early" She explained.

"You have no idea how much I have missed you. Crazy shit goes down in this school and I cant get through it without you" I said.

Midori laughed again.
