Payton lay down in her bed with her TV playing some movie she had popped in. She wasn't paying attention to it though. She was thinking about the conversation she had had with 'Adam'. It had been rather odd….

~~~~~Flashback to that night~~~~~~

Payton and 'Adam' walked outside. Payton had a glass of water in her hand that was still full. They sat down. "Wasn't the point of this to walk?" Payton joked. 'Adam' shook his head and Payton looked at him in question.

"There something wrong?" she asked setting the glass down. Itachi wondered how he should go about this. He needed to find out how much she and her friends already knew about him and the Akatsuki. He thought this was unimportant to their true mission but he couldn't go against Leader's orders.

Payton was thinking/praying that 'Adam' wasn't about to spill out some crush that he had on her. Her hopes lifted when he asked, "How much do you know about the Akatsuki?" 'There! Plain and simple.' Itachi thought.

Payton gave him a weird look. "What brought that up?" she asked. 'Adam' shrugged, "Just wondering." Payton found this odd. She, even though it was impossible, had a feeling that these 'exchange students' were really the Akatsuki. She mentally smacked herself for thinking that. Payton thought about it for a moment. 'Better safe than sorry…'

"Well i know almost everything....and no i'm not a fangirl i just think they are awesome." she said leaning her head back. Itachi knew that wouldn't fly with the leader. He thought then said, "So do you think their motives are stupid?" Payton shook her head, "If you think about it, they really aren't. Pein wants peace in the world...in a way i think. His way of getting it is to bring together 'villans' to help him well....create a new world." She paused then added, "Well…destroy this world…then create a new one…if you're getting technical."

'Adam' looked at her and asked, "So do you think Itachi is the most evil." He wasn't supposed to find that out but he wanted to know. Payton paused again in thought. Then after a minute of silence she said, "No i don't." This took Itachi by surprise. He motioned for her to go on.

"Well Itachi had no choice but to murder his clan since he was ordered to by the higher officials of the Village. And plus he was only helping Sasuke by making him stronger and helped him even after he died." She finished when Ava came out saying that she needed help with something. Payton patted 'Adam's' arm rather hardly and got up.

Itachi had never thought someone would have that view on him. Of course she would have a view on him like that. She seemed to know almost everything about each of the Akatsuki members. That could be dangerous if their enemies found a way here but Itachi highly doubted that would happen .Then he smirked. He knew the Akatsuki had picked the right choice in Payton, Stacey, and Ava.

~~~end Flashback~~~~~~~~

Payton sat up and looked at her watch. It was time for church. She got up off her bed and exited her house where her brother waited outside to drive her there.

Ava looked bordly at her computer screen. She replayed the incident with 'Dan' over in her head. Normally that wouldn't happen but something about 'Dan' she seemed to like. It was like Bunny/Deidara. To her 'Dan' was..."My Deidara." she whispered to herself as she let a small smirk play on her lips.

Stacey was watching her brother and sister beat the snot out of each other on a video game. She had run into 'Steve' at the football game. They hadn't talked about really anything but the one thing he had asked her was, "Do you do any other physical activities?"

Why would he want to know that? Stacey thought. She shrugged it off and slipped into the kitchen to see who was online.
