I just felt like reminding folks that I do not own the characters in Naruto. I only have rights to Kawako.

I awoke with a horrible headache, but I've grown a small tolerance to them now so it isn't as bad. My eyes were purple and bagged from lack of sleep and hits to the face. My nose was rather unpleasant, slightly lumped and bruised. It hurt to sniff. I dragged myself out of the nice comforting bed. I tried to not bring memories up of last night, except for what Zetsu said.

I sighed and mumbled as I pulled my uniform on. I looked in my drawer to see my i-pod that has gathered months and months of dust. The only times I seemed to listen to it were when I was completely lost. When I lost my first and last boyfriend in grade 8. Stupid I know. When I got kicked off the soccer team for a whole season, and, when my parents left.

I picked it up blowing off the dust. I popped the headphones into my ears and hit play. The music began in my ears. But just because it was a depressing I-pod doesn't mean I listened to sappy shit. I like my loud music. Five Finger Death Punch to be exact; was a fantastic band. I began to nod to the tune as I headed downstairs. I just didn't have the motivation to deal with people right now. I needed to clear my head. Kisame looked back from buttering toast and noticed the wire from my ears to the device now hooked to my pants. A questionable, slightly sad expression went on his face. He knew I couldn't hear him so he just threw the crunchy bread. A few moments passed until I decided to walk to school. Kisame was still at home, finishing up some last minute homework he never did last night.

I walked down the sidewalk watching my feet. Maybe I need help? But even if I do, I have no experience with getting, asking or dealing with outside help. I sighed as I kicked a stone.

I saw the school, and the normal group of 4 standing in front. I walked on by them as they all just watched me not take notice to them. I could feel somebody walk after me; I picked up the pace and ducked behind a group of rambunctious kids, quickly turning the corner to the side of the school, where I entered the side door heading to my locker. A more upbeat techno song switched on as I sat down in front of my locker. I sang along quietly to myself.

"I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy. I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need."

I felt somebodies shoulder rest against mine. I looked over to stare into a yellow eye. His green hair wasn't gelled today, so it fell into his face making him look more delinquent. He looked better when he didn't drown his hair in gel. It seemed the guys loved to mess with their hair. Except Pain and Sasori, their hair was just naturally perfect and un-touched. I didn't notice how long I've been staring into Zetsu's eyes until I felt the dryness catch up to my eyes causing me to snap out of my train of thought. I clicked pause on the rectangular music device on my hip.

"You left me alone, with hundreds of thousands of incompetent fools."

I half smiled; he was talking about me not playing COD last night. "I'm sorry. I haven't had my head on straight lately."

"That's obvious. Are you going to tell me what's wrong now?" I stuck my tongue out at the yellow eyed man who only seemed to look at me from the side of his eyes.

"I'll figure it out on my own."

"When you're sad and alone, all you can count on is yourself."

I smiled at the twisted man's own way of comforting. With that the bell rang and we both took out part. I pressed play once again and walked to my first class, it was 2nd semester, so that means I had new classes, first off was physics. Sai joined me in this class as well, Jiraya the teacher here as well. Hinata, Neji's sister was also part of our little gang; she sat in front of me, next to Kiba. I was glad to be in a class with Kiba once again, he was a nice guy. With my I-pod and still just the beginning we did nothing, so I kept the music up and ignored the people around me, they seemed to keep to themselves so it was good. Next class was Gym, I walked in the change room and go into the shorts and tank top I wore. I kept my I-pod clipped on my shorts and put the headphone wire beneath my shirt. I spent the class doing laps and random exercises while the tunes blared in my ears. It seemed to fly till we were instructed to change or shower before the lunch bell rang.

Lunch came and I fought whether or not I should go to soccer, I figured there was still a week left to practice, and one day would be fine to skip. I made my way to a nice area just outside the forest area where I could get a perfect view of the soccer game being played in front of me a few yards away. I was a little surprised Orochimaru hasn't randomly sprung on me. I shivered at the thought of that scaly being touching me, and to think he was growing on me. I pushed the thought back, singing the song that played.

"I will not leave a letter, nothing at all. I'm sure you won't notice that I'm even gone. I won't break this silence we've shared for so long. I will be strong. I will not leave a letter nothing at all. I'm sure you won't notice that I'm even gone. Why did I stay here, I stayed for so long, when you're so far gone. I feel so stupid for taking this fall. I should have seen it, known all along."

My eyes drifted along the school area as these lyrics pumped through my brain, causing reactions to my subconscious. So yeah, I have my sappy moments. But, it's genetic, I can't stop it. My eyes found their target, and I listened to each word more and more. His back was toward me.

"I'm sure anyone would notice your absence. It's quiet and nice without you around. Not normal though."

I heard the voice over my music. I looked over to see Hidan sitting on the side of the tree I was sitting against. I pulled the headphones out of my ear and pausing the music.

"Hidan..."

"I wanted to apologize." I looked at him with such a weird gaze.

"What?"

"I wanted to say sorry about the other day. Apparently I'm the reason your being such a pansy."

I narrowed my eyes, "Are you dying?"

"What?"

"Are you sick, or something?"

"What the fuck does that mean?!" I put my hand to his forehead feeling for a temperature. It felt normal until the light pink danced across his cheeks.

"What the fuck are you doing you freak?"

"The Hidan I know doesn't know big words like apologize nor does he have the heart to say I'm sorry." I winked at the now fuming silver haired man. He scowled and grunted.

"Well fuck you then. Bitch." I laughed slightly. This day wasn't so bad, but I still couldn't get my head over the guys. I sighed, Hidan looked over at me.

"You don't have to waste your time here, I'm just going to be sitting here."

"Meh, beats the batch of pricks over there. Puppet lover and bomb boy are arguing again, and Tobi is jumping around acting like a dumbass."

"As expected."

"I can't picture you as a sit back, quiet girl."

"It's because I'm not."

"Then why are you here and not playing soccer? Don't you have some big game coming up?"

"Mm."

"Well..." He stood up stretching out trying to crack his back. "When you feel like not being a dumbass, I'll be around." I just put my headphones back in, pressing play.

"Looking back at me I see that I never really got it right. I never stopped to think of you. I'm always wrapped up in things I cannot win. You are the antidote that gets me by, something strong like a drug that gets me high."

I closed my eyes. Did I depend on Kisame too much? I just, don't, get, it. The bell rang for the end of lunch. I got up and thought for a moment. I decided to just go home. I'll have this last depressed day then force myself back to normal. All this doubting is bringing back memories of a long time ago, and there's no reason to start thinking about the past. I nodded to myself and started to walk. I got across the street before I heard something that didn't go with my music. I turned around to see a head of red hair crossing the street. I pulled out a headphone.

"Sasori?"

"I figured you'd be going home." I just watched as he made his way across the street and stopping in front of me.

"What are you doing Sasori?"

"I'm coming over to kick your ass with an Uzi."

"I could beat your Uzi with a P-noob!"

"Well let's go, I hate to be kept waiting."

And there we have it; I walked home with Sasori to play some MW2.

"Come on, come on, come on!"

I screamed at my care package that was being deployed. I knew Sasori wasn't too far away, and I knew he was equipped with some kind of sniper rifle. I watched my surroundings and made sure I was blocked by something at all times. The box fell and I took a bolt for it, too bad a character can only run so fast. As I tried to duck behind the box it turns out I was in the wrong direction. My head was gone and my UAV was now in the hands of Sasori.

"Dammit Sasori!"

"Haha, your efforts are futile."

I equipped my heavy weapons class with a nice stopping power Saw. I searched the map for some sign of the camper. I figured with the sniper he would be camping.

"Come on coward, get out and fight like a real man."

"Taunting has no effect on me Kawako."

"You have no balls!"

The brown eyed man chuckled as he watched me in his scope... I knew this because seconds later I was dead again.

"NOO!"

I kept the class and tried again. A couple hours later Kisame and Zetsu walked through the door. I took this as an opportunity to quit the match and force them to join. Sasori grunted at his failed attempt of seeing the victory screen. Kisame just snorted a laugh as he planted his ass on the couch and turned his controller on. Me and Kisame Vs. Sasori and Zetsu was the first match, unfortunately Sasori and Zetsu destroyed us. We switched it up after each match. Soon enough Deidara and Itachi strolled in the house. I didn't know this at the time but apparently our place is just an open house. After a few more matches subbing in the new comers did more show up. By 6 o'clock everyone but Pain and Konan were here. Which wasn't abnormal, those two only showed up on special occasions.

The game went on for hours more, people switching up for drinks, bathroom breaks and food. Zetsu and I decided to throw in some pizza, we cooked 3 different pizzas which didn't last very long at all. These people are pigs! Somebody broke out 2 bags of chips and a half a bag of Cheetos. Pop, juice, water, and milk? Who drinks milk? Anyways, a variety of drinks were in cans and cups everywhere. Soon enough I noticed how it was some party going on, and I found food that I didn't even know we had laying around! A couple of us took turns cleaning bits and pieces of the piling mess.

"Hidan... Holy Jashin dammit! If you leave one more dripping tipped over pop can, I'm going to rub your nose in it and kick you out the fucking door!"

"Fuck off!"

My eye twitched. I walked behind the silver haired guy and tackled him onto the couch which held Sasori, Kakuzu and Kisame. The guys hollered and yelled at the brute on top of them as I put the oversized dog/pig in a headlock.

"You will respect my god damn authoritah!"

"Get the fuck off me!"

"Hidan! Fuck, I just died cause of you!"

"Get off of me before I sue!"

"God dammit fish stick!"

"Fuck you fish breath!"

I switched my target and latched onto the blue man sitting in the middle of the couch. I wrapped around his head pulling on his ear and messing up his hair. Hollers and yells and complaints were being heard and in the next second it was a battle royal between the four of us. Kakuzu was beating Hidan who was kicking Sasori who began to attack me with Kisame. The others just sat/stood watching us in disbelief.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! Hair! Hair! Hair!"

"Get off of me woman!"

"Kakuzu! I'll kill you, you greedy son of a bitch!"

"Don't talk about my mother!"

"I'll rip all your limbs off one by one!"

An ear erupting whistle was then heard causing us to all freeze and look over. Deidara stood there, looking at us in shame.

"Will you all fuck off. hmm. Get up and god damn separate. There is no need for this orgy!"

Hidan and I looked at each other, nodded and turned toward the blond. Our faces shadowed by an evil smile from ear to ear. A shadow of despair fell over the blond as his annoyed look was then washed away and a scared look took its place. We plunged tackling the blond to the ground. I poked him in the sides and Hidan held him from ripping me to shred and pinching him when he got the chance.

After about 5 minutes we finally all separated and went off in our own ways. 10 more minutes and the guys began talking about a few of the chicks from school. Not caring, nor having any say in this conversation I went up to my room. I hear enough of this between Sakura and Hinata. I changed into a pair of baggy shorts, leaving my tank on. I brushed my hand through my hair as I sighed. I fell onto my bed staring at my ceiling. I decided to listen to a certain song once again. I got up picking up the I-pod on my desk and putting the head phones in my ear, falling back on the bed as I press play.

"I will not leave a letter, nothing at all. I'm sure you won't notice that I'm even gone. I won't break this silence we've shared for so long. I will be strong!" I sang along with the word tapping my feet and rocking my head to the beat.

"I will not waste a moment thinking these thoughts. Forgetting comes easy, I never cared at all. Hurt became hate and now I'm feelin' the strain, there's just too much pain. Fell into pieces, got swept away. Left all our pictures, some to fade. I won't break this silence we've shared for so long. I will be strong."

I sang along some more as the song played on in my head. I thought about moments of being so young, and how much it was so wrong. A sick twist began to catch in my stomach.

"You don't have to say anything at all. I won't stop you from walking away; I'll do nothing at all. Sitting here, I've wasted days, while the memories fade away. You know I expect so much more from you." With the final words said a heard a knock on my door. I pulled out my headphones and sat up on my elbows.

"Come in." The figure walked in and my stomach twisted 3 times more than before. "What do you want?"

"I want to know if you're okay."

"I'm perfectly fine." I laid back down paying attention to my ceiling. I doubt it meant anything at all.

"Good, good. If only I had a dollar every time you lied about your feelings."

"Like you really need more investment ideas." A small movement in his face showed his lips twitched up in a small smile.

"You don't talk to me anymore."

"I don't talk to anyone. You all are ridiculous."

"Hm." Silence passed as I stared at the ceiling still and Kakuzu stood in the middle of my room.

"Hidan has really taken a liking to you."

"I know, but it's different."

"Nothing back?"

"Tsh, I have no need for silly antics at this age. I have things I have to accomplish in life."

I watched him from the side of my eyes; he looked away and to the ground. I could actually see pain in his gleaming eyes.

"Kawako...-" A brute forced his way through my door.

"What are you idiots doing?!"

"Avoiding your annoying voice." I teased.

"Hey. Bitch... Nobody wants your opinion." I chuckled while shaking my head.

"Let's go! Everyone's gone we need a player!"

I sighed and crawled my way out of bed. I stood up and stared at the man in the middle of my room. Something was bothering him; he had that look in his eyes. Those strange red eyes with green irises. I shrugged it off and followed Hidan. As I guessed Kisame and Zetsu were left.

"Alright freaks, it's time me and Zetsu showed you how the game is truly played!"

A half smile was on Zetsu's face as he high fived me and handed me the controller. We set the game up and begun. It was 2 when Hidan left. 3 when Kisame went to bed and around 4:30 before me and Zetsu passed out on each other on the couch.

Well, What's going through Kakuzu's mind? ;P & is Kawako's depression finally over? haha. Hope everyone is enjoying the re-make.
