Lauren's POV

I tapped my pencil against the desk irritably, my face being held up by my palm.

There was usually never a time where I didn't enjoy art class, but today was an exception. It was last day of school before Holiday Break started, and that meant 2 weeks of unlimited time with the Akatsuki.

Not only that, but tonight was the Band/Orchestra concert, which was something I was looking forward to.

You see, our school has two types of concerts: the boring, classical ones, and the Pop Concerts. Thankfully, the latter of the two is what today's is.

Pop concerts celebrate Pop Culture so that meant renditions of cool music from this century, not Bach or Mozart. Plus, instead of wearing the unbreathing, old fashioned, polyester death traps that had been given to us, we get to wear whatever we want, so long as it followed the typical school guidelines.

And to make it even better, I get to conduct the lower level Orchestra's performance. It was something that I had wanted to do since my freshman year, and finally my teachers were letting me.

I paused and looked over at the clock, sighing and placing my forehead onto the table when I saw that we still had half an hour of class left.

I'll admit that it was uncommonly weird for me to be this bored of a class I actually liked, but there was also another reason.

Not only did we get to wear what we wanted as well as play good music, but after four years the seniors in the band and orchestra classes had finally been granted permission to compose whatever it was they wanted and play it.

It wasn't really hard for all of us to come to an agreement on what it was that we wanted to play.

We are all hardcore anime fans.

The only problem was actually narrowing the options down.

We eventually all agreed on Naruto, Fairy Tail, and Inuyasha.

I rolled my head to the side, staring out the window at the ninja, or rather ninja's, who were watching over me for the day.

Sasuke was sitting on a thick branch, his back against the trunk of the tree as his onyx eyes skimmed over an old book that I had recommended to him, "The Secret Life of Bees". Suigetsu was beside him, his spine against the branch as he stared up at the sky boredly, his limbs dangling towards the ground.

I smirked a little at both of them. It was kind of amusing to see how ninja reacted to tailing a teenage school girl all day. Sometimes they would be interested in the things I was learning and other times they weren't. It all depended on who was on watch.

I picked my head up off the desk and twirled the pencil between my fingers, staring down at the blank white page in front of me. Glancing back over at the two Team Taka members, a light bulb suddenly clicked on over my head and I grinned widely, immediately beginning to sketch the outline of two bodies on the paper.

Man, this would be good.

Normal POV

"Tsumaranai yo~"

Sasuke glanced over the book in his hands. "Urusai, Suigetsu. It's only boring if you make it so."

The sliver haired teen groaned. "You're one to talk, Sasuke. You've actually got something to do."

The Uchiha raised an eyebrow. "I believe that my Imouto offered you the ability to use her portable game device and yet you chose to not bring it."

Suigetsu sighed irritably and raised his head off the branch, squinting his eyes at his captain. "Stop being smart."

Sasuke merely smirked and began reading his book again. "I can't help what I am."

About 30 seconds passed before he lowered his book with a sigh, glancing at his teammate who was grinning at him.

"What?"

Suigetsu laughed and flipped into an upright position. "You've changed, ya know?"

Sasuke placed the book in his lap and raised both his eyebrows. "How so?"

"You actually show emotion now," he answered, throwing both hands behind his head. "You're not being an emotionless prick!"

Sasuke's eyebrow twitched. "A what?"

"See!" Suigetsu boasted, pointing a finger at him. "You didn't just "hn" and treat me as an annoyance! You actually changed your facial expression!"

"Hn."

"No!" Suigetsu threw his arms in the air in exasperation, "Why?!"

Sasuke snorted at his teammates cries and draped an arm across his lap, glancing off to the side.

This whole thing was just entirely crazy to him. Being in a new world, making truce with the Akatsuki, finding out about the truth of the clans inhalation- it was just a lot to take in.

And yet, he found that he was able to laugh about it. Despite the seriousness of the situation Sasuke was happy that he had gotten his brother back. He had gotten two pieces of his family back.

Not only that but he had gotten back two of his childhood friends as well. All these joyful faces from his past were making it hard for him to lock away his positive emotions.

"NANI KORE?!"

Sasuke snapped his head to look at Suigetsu. Said teen was standing, pointing at the classroom Lauren was in with a look of shock.

The Uchiha followed his gaze and froze when he spotted the piece of paper that was taped to the window, Lauren standing next to it, looking out at them with an amused grin.

Taped onto the window was a picture of both Sasuke and Suigetsu…except they had…

"WHY DO I HAVE BOOBS!?" Suigetsu cried dramatically.

Yes, Lauren had drawn a fem version of them. And she had made them very, very blessed. Not to mention completely topless.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" The silver haired teen shouted, gripping his head in serious confusion. He was now looking between his chest in Lauren's drawing and the one he had now.

Sasuke was just sitting there, eyes wide in shock. He hadn't thought that his sister would draw something so…so…perverted?

Lauren just laughed at their shocked faces before flinging her backpack over her shoulder and exiting the room. Suigetsu stared after her in shock while Sasuke looked over the drawing again, this time noting the small writing on the corner of the page.

Activating his Sharingan he narrowed his eyes and read it clearly.

"See you tonight, nii-san! We won't be able to come out to lunch today. Oh, and PS. This is what would happen if you let Naruto teach you the Oiroke no Jutsu!"

Sasuke rolled his eyes at the mention of his old blonde haired teammate and stood, looking over at a still gaping Suigetsu.

"Come on, we need to go too."

Snapping out of it slightly, Suigetsu nodded mindlessly and the two bounded towards the next tree they would have to stake out in.

…

…

"Oh honey, I'm home!"

Pein raised an eyebrow as Derrick stepped through the front door, Trevor right behind him. The black haired male raised a hand in greeting when he saw the two Akatsuki leaders and Kisame lounging in the living room.

"Hello there."

Konan smiled at the two. "It's good to see you again."

"Jashin damn." There was a stomping sound as Hidan ascended the stairs. "Where the hell have you fuckers been?"

"It's not nice to curse, mister."

The Akatsuki all raised an eyebrow at hearing the new, tiny sounding voice.

Hidan paused on the landing and looked down at the small blonde girl that's hand was entwined in Trevor's. She looked to be around 7 years old and had vibrant gray eyes.

She let go of Trevor's hand took a step forward, looking over Hidan. The Jashinist grinned at her lazily and knelt down to her eye level.

"I can swear if I fucking want to."

The girl took another step forward and made it so they were nose to nose. Hidan was inwardly surprised at her boldness.

"Then I can inform you that you're an ass if I want to."

Hidan blinked in shock, his jaw unhinging slightly as Derrick and Trevor chortled with laugher. By now Pein, Konan and Kisame had also ventured into the kitchen to find the source of the new voice and were all gawking at the scene playing out in front of them.

The Jashinist narrowed his eyes at her. "I thought you just said that it was wrong to fucking cuss, little girl."

Said little girl took a step back and raised both her eyebrows, poking him in the chest.

"Excuse me, but this is your fault. I asked you to stop and you didn't, then told me that you could swear if you wanted to, so in reality you basically just told me that it's okay for me to do so too. If you've got a problem with it than you should set a better example for the people around you."

Hidan blinked again, eyes wide in surprise while Derrick and Trevor grinned down at the girl fondly. Kisame was grinning as well, finding Hidan getting schooled by a tyke quite entertaining, while Konan smiled, slightly amused by this entire thing. Pein was pinching the bridge nose, amused by the girl and disappointed that Hidan was so incredibly stupid.

"This girl seems wise beyond her years," Kakuzu commented from where he now stood in the doorway to the kitchen. He was also enjoying watching his partner be outsmarted.

The girl turned and smiled at him. "That's because my nee-san is too."

"Your 'nee-san'?" Sasori repeated from his spot on the landing to the stairs. He had ventured up to the kitchen to see what all the ruckus was.

The puppet master looked over the little girl and after a minute knelt down in front of her. The blonde blinked at him innocently and he lifted a hand, placing it on top of her head.

"You're Lauren's younger sister, Elle, aren't you?"

The girl imeadeatly sent him a heartwarming smile and nodded happily. "Un! And you are?"

Sasori raised an eyebrow and gave her a small smirk. "Sasori."

Elle grinned at him. "You're much nicer than him." She pointed at Hidan.

"Hey!" The Jashinist protested. "I can be nice if I fuckin' wanna be!"

"Yes, and unicorns shit rainbows," Kakuzu snorted sarcastically. Hidan glared while Elle giggled and smiled at him.

"I like you, what's your name?"

Kakuzu raised an eyebrow at the girl but replied nonetheless. "Kakuzu."

Elle rocked on her heels and looked the man over. "Are those real stitches?"

The miser blinked and looked down at his body, internally cursing himself for not using a henge. "…Yes."

"That's sweet," she admitted with a wide grin.

Kakuzu blinked, staring at her for a second, before shaking his head with a chuckle.

This girl was definitely Lauren's sister.

"So," Elle turned to the rest of the present Akatsuki, "What are your names?"

Konan sent her a small smile. "My name is Konan."

"Pein."

Kisame grinned at her. "Kisame, squirt."

Elle stared at him. "You're blue…"

He nodded. "Yes."

"That's freakin' awesome. Can I hug you?"

Kisame's grin widened and he opened his arms to her. Elle immediately ran over and hopped into his grasp, giggling happily when he spun her around.

After a minute he put her down and she then walked over to a scowling Hidan, looking up at him with a smile.

"Sorry about early, I hope you're not mad."

Hidan halted his sulking and stared at her. He sighed after a moment and placed a hand her head.

"Whatever. My name's Hidan, by the way."

At that moment Tobi hopped into the room and scooped the girl up into his arms.

"Tobi thinks the little girl is so cute!"

Elle froze in shock and waited for him to put her down before staring up at him.

"Thanks…? And you are?"

"Tobi!" The masked man answered happily.

"Ah," she replied and slowly stepped back, reaching for Sasori's hand. The puppet master rolled his eyes but allowed her to grasp on to two of his fingers.

Tobi was a lot to take in a first.

"Alright," Trevor said, catching the Akatsuki's attention. "Now that the introductions are over we need to get going. The concert starts in 15 minutes and while we would both love to go we actually have to work."

The brown haired male looked over to Pein. "I will leave Elle in your care for now. She always spends Holiday break with Lauren so she won't be leaving anytime soon."

Pein nodded in understanding.

Derrick and Trevor both quickly hugged Elle and said their goodbyes before heading towards the door with their parting words of "see you soon!"

The criminals stared after them for a minute before turning their attention back to the small blonde girl now left in their care. Elle just smiled at them innocently.

"So, are we gonna go to the concert now?"

Sasori nodded and knelt down. "Yes, get on my back."

Elle did so happily and the Akatsuki all exited the house, making sure no one was around before cloaking themselves in an invisibility jutsu.

"Hold on tight," Sasori instructed looking back at the blonde he was holding up. The girl nodded and tightened her grip around his neck.

Once she was secure the group bounded into the nearby trees and towards the high school at inhuman speeds.

At first the criminals were worried about how Elle would react to their powers, but soon let it slide as she seemed utterly content on Sasori's back, letting the wind blow though her hair.

Yep, this was definitely Lauren's sister.

After a few minutes the group stopped on the school's empty football field where Deidara, Itachi, Juugo, Sasuke, and Suigetsu were already waiting for them.

Sasori knelt to the ground so that Elle could get down, and she was quick to notice the new people.

"Hi!" She greeted enthusiastically, waving a hand at the girls watchers for the day. "What are your names?"

Itachi smiled at her, remembering her face from the mall awhile ago. "My name is Itachi."

"I'm Suigetsu," the silver haired teen said, flashing her a smirk.

"Sasuke."

Juugo gave her a small smile. "Juugo."

Deidara also recognized the girl from a while ago and squatted down, fondly ruffling her hair with a grin. "You're Lauren's sister right? I'm Deidara, yeah."

Elle smiled at him. "Yeah."

Sasuke blinked and looked over at Itachi. "Imouto has a sister?"

Itachi nodded in confirmation. "Yes, in this world she does. They are not biologically related however."

"Ah."

"Come on, minna!" Tobi interrupted, pointing towards the school. "The concert is gonna start soon!"

The Akatsuki all blinked in realization that he was right and quickly headed towards the school.

They followed the crowd of people that were heading into the building and eventually ended up in a large auditorium.

The stage was open at the moment, showing the teenagers bustling around to get things read, and the theater itself must've had at least 200 seats, half of which were already filled.

The Akatsuki all headed towards the back end of the auditorium where the less people were and situated themselves in their own row.

At the moment people were still slowly entering the space, but judging by the way the performers were beginning to pool onto the stage it was clear that the show would be starting soon.

Elle, who was currently seated between Deidara and Kisame, smiled and started bouncing in her seat.

"I always loved these concerts."

Deidara raised an eyebrow at her. "Why's that, yeah?"

"They always make the concerts fun, especially Lauren and her friends."

The bomber opened his mouth to inquire further but was stopped when there was a loud tapping sound.

All attention then turned to the stage where a middle aged blonde stood.

"Is this thing working?"

"Yeah!" replied the members of the band and orchestra that were sitting in the audience waiting for their turn, throwing her a round of thumbs ups. The woman laughed and adjusted the microphone, smiling out at the audience.

"Hello there everyone. The members of the band and orchestra here at Harrison High School would like to thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come and watch our performance tonight."

"You're welcome!"

The woman glared at some of her snickering students in the front row.

"Tonight is the first of our annual Pop concerts. The Concert Orchestra will be playing pieces from the movies Pirates of the Caribbean and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The Concert Band will be performing some pieces from the Disney movies the Incredible's and the Lion King."

She paused when the students already positioned on the stage cheered loudly, clapping on their own behalf.

"Anyway, following them we will have a combination of both the Symphony Orchestra and Symphony Bands playing pieces that they composed on their own. However, we will speak more about it later, for now let's start tonight off with the Concert Band and their senior conductor, Jacob Samana."

The audience all began clapping as a tall teen male with shoulder length blonde curly hair walked onto the stage. He was wearing a classic tuxedo and made sure to bow to the people watching before stepping onto the podium.

The Akatsuki all watched with mild interest as the entire theater fell silent. The members of the band on stage scooted to the front of their seats and looked to the boy as his hands raised into the air.

In a swift motion he brought them down and in that instant music erupted from the band.

Elle bounced on the edge of her seat as "The Glory Days", a soundtrack from the Incredible's started to play. The Akatsuki all blinked and leaned forward in surprise and anticipation as the music became louder.

For them it was actually very intriguing to be able to leisurely come and watch a performance like this. Because while they did have shows like this in their world, when you're an S-class criminal, or any shinobi for that matter, you usually didn't have much free time.

After a minute the song ended and the band members quickly rearranged their music, before beginning to play again. This time "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" from the Lion King started playing.

As the song continued you could hear people from the front of the auditorium belt out the lyrics along with the song, and a few people laughed.

The composition also switched into "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" and "Be Prepared" before the piece was finally over.

The conductor then turned to the audience and cheesily bowed to them, smirking lazily, before motioning to the band members who then stood to their own applause.

After another moment the band collected their stuff and exited the stage, heading down into the front rows of the seats where their other bandmates were waiting. At the same time the Concert Orchestra stood from their seat and scurried onto the stage.

Once they were all set the senior conductor, Jacob, headed over to the microphone and tapped it.

"Hello? Oh, hey."

A few of his classmates laughed and he grinned.

"Thank you all so much for your support, I'm sure that's why I didn't completely bomb while conducting the last two songs."

Cue more laughter.

"Alright, now I'd like to welcome one of my good friends to the stage. I met her freshman year and I gotta say that she's defiantly worthy of conducting the next few songs. She is an amazing member of the music department and has contributed a lot. Now, please welcome to the stage the Concert Orchestra and their senior conductor for the day, Lauren Smith."

The Akatsuki all blinked in surprise as Lauren appeared on the stage, walking over to the boy at the mic. The audience clapped wildly at her appearance and her teammates cheered loudly. Lauren only smiled at them and waved before hugging Jacob as he made his way off the stage.

She bowed to them all and waved for another second before headed towards the podium.

Sasori took a second to look at the blonde arsonist beside him and wasn't surprised to find him ogling Lauren with his eyes.

At the moment she was wearing a tuxedo as well, but the back of the tux ended in two points that flared out behind her. And unlike a male, she had curves, which you could clearly see.

Oh, she also adorned a top hat with a red ribbon.

Lauren held up her hands and the orchestra put their instruments in place readying their bows.

You could faintly hear her counting them off before her hands started moving. In an instant "Fireworks", a soundtrack from the fifth Harry Potter movie could be heard.

The Akatsuki all watched as Lauren happily swayed along with the beat, her hands twirling through the air as she conducted.

After a minute the tune slowed slightly as it switched into "Professor Umbridge".

Once the piece was over the performers flipped their pages and a couple seconds later "To the Pirates' Cave" was quickly being played. Laurens hands loosely flew through the air with the quick pace, and the Akatsuki couldn't help but notice the smile that was etched onto her face.

The piece then switched into "One Last Shot" before ending with "He's A Pirate".

One the piece was over Lauren motioned for the orchestra to stand and they were immediately greeted by a round of loud applause. The brunette conductor also bowed with them before hurrying off the stage as the Concert Orchestra exited the premises, making room for the Symphony Band and Orchestra.

Lauren's POV

I breathed a sigh of relief as I hurried off the stage into the hallway that adjoined the auditorium.

Despite my slight nervousness at conducting for the first time, it all went great, and I found myself smiling at my internal victory.

As soon as I rounded the corner a sack of clothes was shoved into my chest.

I made a noise of surprise and looked up to find Tess standing in front of me, smirking.

She was wearing and black and white DC hat and had her shoulder length red hair down. A white shirt with the superman logo covered her torso, and she had a pair of batman suspenders attached to the waistband of her black skinny jeans, which also covered the top of her green converse hi-tops.

"Hurry and get changed," she said, pushing me towards the restroom a few feet away.

I nodded and quickly scuffled into on the stalls, stripping myself of the suit I was wearing and replacing it with a black tank top, Adventure Time jacket, tan baggy cargo pant, and a pair of red and black plaid converse hi-tops.

I shoved the tuxedo into the bag my other clothes had been in before pulling my hair into a high pony tail and exiting the bathroom.

Taylor was now standing next to Tess, her body decorated in a sky blue t-shirt with a black vest on top of it, a pair of dark blue jeans and a set of gray converse which matched the gray bow clipped into her short blonde hair.

I smiled at the two and we all quickly grabbed our instruments before gathering behind the stage curtain where the other seniors were as our teacher started to talk.

"Tonight is a very special night for the senior members of our Symphony Band and Orchestra. We allowed them to compose their own music on whatever it was they wanted, and they all strongly agreed on soundtracks from Japanese cartoons, Anime. If I understand correctly they will be playing two pieces from "Inuyasha", one from "Fairy Tail", and two from "Naruto"."

I could almost feel the Akatsuki's chakra spike in curiosity at hearing the blonde ninja's name.

"Some of you may have noticed that only a part of the Band and Orchestra is here at the moment, and that is because we'd like to give a special welcome to all the seniors that contributed to make this happen. So, when I call your name, come on out!"

There was a loud round of applause as "Rock 'n Roll" by Skrillex started playing.

"Manasvini Rai!"

Said girl, the first chair violin, tightened her grip on her instrument before skipping onto the stage with a smile.

"Saumya Guppar!"

The second chair violin then strut onto the stage, jokingly doing a dance before heading to her seat.

I patted Taylor on the back, knowing that'd she be next, and she flashed me a smile just as the teacher shouted her name.

"Taylor O'Brian!"

She then proceeded to jog onto the stage and get down with the beat for a few second before waving at the crowd and taking her seat in the front row.

I swear that I distinctly heard Kisame, Hidan, Suigetsu, Tobi and Deidara's voices mixed in with all the other cheers.

This time it was Tess who patted me on the shoulder as my name was called. I tightened my grip on the neck of my cello before heading out of to the stage. I paused when I got to my chair and set the bottom of my cello on the ground before pumping my fist into the air, thumb, index and pinkie fingers flipped up.

There were a few other people in the audience that copied me, some of those people being the ninja that I had mentioned earlier, before I sat down with at chuckle next to my stand partner, Christian, who I fist bumped friendlily.

After a few more names were called our teacher finally said "Tess Johnson". Tess then proceeded to step into view, sticking her tongue out and flashing everyone a piece sign before lugging her huge bass back to her section.

I laughed when I noticed that Hidan was in the back giving her wolf whistles and cheering loudly. She only winked at him and he grinned devilishly before quieting down as the next name was called.

After a few more people names were announced to the audience, every one took their seats and out teacher stepped onto the podium.

After a few more people names were announced to the audience, every one took their seats and out teacher stepped onto the podium. She looked over us all with a smile, making sure we were ready before slowly raising her hands into the air and calmly bringing them down.

The first song we played was "Aika" from Inuyasha and after a minute the song switched into "Demon, Sesshomaru" before ending. After that we played the "Fairy Tail Main Theme" followed by Naruto soundtracks "Avenger" and "Kakuzu".

Heh, Kakuzu.

When we had finished playing the crowd erupted into loud clapping and cheering and the entire band and orchestra stood, bowing, before gathering their things and heading off stage as it was announced that there would be "free food in the band room if anyone would like to come".

I headed back to the room with Tess and we both hurried put our instruments away in our assigned lockers while Taylor packed away her viola in her case, shoving it into my huge locker before I could close it.

Once that was taken care of we grabbed as many cubes of cheese and cookies that we could carry from the food tables before bolting out into the main waiting area where the Akatsuki's chakra signature were resting.

"Hey guys!" Taylor called once they were in sight. All heads turned at hearing her and Itachi gave her a small smile raising his hand in greeting. Taylor immediately started blushing at the action.

I laughed at her face before heading towards Deidara, only to be stopped when a blob of small child latched onto my upper thigh.

I blinked and squatted down, taking my little sister face into my hands.

"Hello there."

She beamed at me happily. "Hi, nee-san."

I grinned and picked her up into my arms. "I forgot that Derrick and Trevor were bringing you over today…And since when do you use Japanese terms?"

"Since I started watching anime."

"What?" I said in shock, pulling back to look at her. "Which ones?"

There were some very graphic anime's out there.

She put and hand under her chin and stroked an imaginary beard. "Um…Ouran High School Host Club…Nichijou…and Lucky Star?"

I kissed the side of her head and set her back on the ground. "Good, those ones are okay for you to watch."

She started beaming again and I placed my hand her head before going over and hugging Deidara. He grinned at me happily and kissed my forehead before hugging me back.

When I let go our hands looped into each other's and I looked back over the rest of the group.

"So, what'd you guys think of the concert?"

Kisame grinned. "It was awesome."

"Very entertain," Danna added in, ruffling my hair from his spot beside me. "You did a good job."

I smiled at him. "Thanks."

"You also looked very sexy," Deidara added, whispering to my ear. I glared at him playful as a slight blush spread across my face and he only chuckled, kissing the side of my head.

"So," I paused and looked down at Elle who was looking over the group with calculative eyes. She pointed a finger at me. "You and Dei-kun are dating right?"

Both Deidara and I blinked, sharing a look, before nodding in confirmation.

"And you two," she pointed and Tess and Hidan and the two stopped making out to stare at her. "You're dating right?"

Tess smiled and nodded while Hidan gave her a looked that screamed 'well, duh!'

"And you," she then pointed at Taylor and Itachi who were comfortably holding hands. "Tay, you and 'Tachi are dating right?"

Taylor blushed deeply, but stiffly nodded, Itachi watching her in amusement.

Elle looked over the six of us for another minute before cocking her head to the side and smiling.

"Nee-san, you and Dei-kun are really cute. I approve."

I blinked while Deidara grinned victoriously.

"Tay, you and 'Tachi are cute too," she informed her before glancing at Itachi. "You need to take care of her though, kay? She can be really out there sometimes."

Itachi smirked ever so slightly and nodded. "I have figured that out already, but yes, I will protect her with my life."

Elle bobbed her head in approval before whipping a hand at Tess and Hidan who both blinked in shock.

"Tess, if Hidan-kun ever does something to you, kick his ass. You two are really cute too, but Hidan-kun seems a bit…I don't know, insane? But I know you, you can handle him."

Hidan gawked at the Elle while Tess grinned and patted Hidan's chest. "Don't worry about it, sweetheart. I've got everything under control."

I laughed along with the others but after a second stopped and stared at her. "Elle, did you just swear?"

Her wide smile diminished and she looked back at me.

"…You do it all the time…"

I sighed. "That doesn't mean you should do it."

She sighed too and stopped her foot and the ground, pointing back at Hidan. "He started it!"

Hidan looked incredulous. "What?"

"You swore at me earlier so I had to school you!"

I paused my train of thought and stared at her. "You outsmarted Hidan?"

She grinned proudly and I looked to the others for conformation.

"He did start it," Kakuzu informed me with a chuckle. "And Hidan did get schooled."

Slowly a smile spread across my face and I held out my hand to Elle who high-fived it happily.

"Good job!"

Hidan scowled and crossed his arms, turning away from all of us. We all laughed at his attitude and Tess quickly cheered him up when she kissed him on the lips.

Elle tugged on the bottom of my shirt. "Hey, I'm hungry. Can we get something to eat?"

I nodded. "What do you want?"

She grinned. "Dairy Queen!"

"That's not exactly dinner, you know?"

She starred at me, completely unaffected. "Says the girl who carries around a bag of Cheez-It's and eats them for every meal."

I stared at her for a moment before sighing, ruffling her hair with a lopsided smirk. "You really are too smart for your age. Come on, let's go."

She cheered happily and ran over to Danna, latching on to his hand. I raised an eyebrow at him and he only did the same in return.

Our group of ninja left the school soon after and bounded towards the nearest Dairy Queen through the falling snow.

And so, that night our dinner was ice cream. A perfect way to start the Holiday break.

Finally, I'm done!

It took me probably 3 days to type this out…I started Monday, so yep. 3 days.

I'm sorry if it's kinda boring it parts, you'll live…hopefully.

It's been over a week since my last update…whoa.

I only have 11 days of freedom left until school starts back up…NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(PS. Sasuke's book at the beginning was one of my summer reading books…)

Though from what I've heard some people are already in school, so I apologize to those of you who are.

In other words, I went to the doctors today and got my finer pricked DX IT HURT LIKE A BITCH. MY GOD.

However, because of that prick we found out that I am no longer anemic (although I haven't been for a while). But going to the doctors meant the guys also informing me that I need to lose weight…which is depressing and hard.

Sigh, mendoukusei na…can't get around it though.

Oh, and I finally went and saw The Amazing Spider Man! :D It was awesome. It makes me wish that it was 2015 so much more so that I could see the Avengers 2 :3

Cream cheese wrappers are evil for those of you who don't know. I sliced my thumb open on one yesterday trying to get the container open…

And all of the students FIRST names used this chapter are based off some of my better friends that are in orchestra with me, specifically the ones that are moving up to Symphony with me this year :3

My friend Aerin isn't moving up sadly, because she's taking ever art class possible and I convinced her to take Japanese :D but that means no orchestra.

Oh, and speaking of Aerin, she dragged me to the movies to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. It was an old people movie, but a cute one at that X3 I liked it.

Wow, this is the longest chapter yet. Cool.

Meh, I'm gonna go now. Gonna see if The Big Bang Theory is on!

Bazinga! :D

Oh god, the ball pit XD

So, bye!

PLEASEEEEEEEEE REVIEW!
