Oh, if anyone wants me to put up a profile for a character that has already made an appearance, then please tell me so! It can be Gwyn's family or her friends at school. Just leave it in a review. If I don't answer all of them then I am sorry. I'll try my best.

Midnight Summer
Chapter Twenty-Six
The hours before lunch flew by without any problems. Now it is time for lunch. So Gwyn gathers up her World History books and puts them in her bag. She needs to head to the cafeteria where Naruto and the others are waiting. She doesn't want to keep them waiting longer than necessary.
She brushes out of her classroom and makes her way down two flights of stairs till she lands on the first floor. She places her bag in her locker, locks it, and makes her way into the cafeteria. The smell of food already has her stomach rumbling.
She makes her way to her table, sits down, and settles in between Naruto and Sasuke. She has Hinata sitting next to Naruto and the girl actually talks to him. She may stutter but it's not as bad as before. Ino and Sakura are talking about homework. Naruto is inhaling his food while Sasuke takes his time.
Gwyn casts an eye at the line to the food before sighing. She has to wait a good fifteen minutes before she can join. She doesn't like standing in one place for too long. She also prefers to wait till the squealing girls are a good way up in the line. They aren't that much fun either.
"Hey, Gwyn-Chan, are you waiting for the line to thin?" Naruto suddenly asks and she nods.
"I wound hurry and get up there. Some classes are ending late today and they'll be released for an early lunch." He warns her and Gwyn groans.
That's just want she needs. Again.
"Got it. I'll be back as soon as I can." She pulls herself out of her seat and makes her way across the room once more.
She passes between all the students. At times like these she's rather glad she's small. But that might due to the fact that she's younger then everyone…
She can hear the squealing girls now and she knows why. The Akatsuki. It's their fangirls and she knows, without a doubt, that they are talking about them.
Then again, they're always talking about them, so nothing is new there. No, what's new is the fact that she can name for members out of the Akatsuki just by looking at them. She can put a name with a face.
And the four are aware she's there so she doesn't turn to look at them. She refuses to. She will just pretend that they are not there. Food, to her, is more important.
"Hidan-kun's look this way!" one of the girls in front of her gasps and she can see the highlighted ponytail bouncing as she hops foot to foot in joy.
How revolting, Gwyn frowns before looking around their left side. The Akatsuki are on the right.
She frowns at the distance. At this time she'll have to stand in front of them for a good five minutes. May a little longer than that. She doesn't like that idea. It makes her rather uncomfortable.
Then she hears Hidan's foul mouth as he cusses out someone named Kakuzu. This man tells him to shut up or he'll find his head missing in the morning. Hidan, oddly enough, goes quiet.
She frowns. Okay, now that's weird.
She can hear the males of the table talking amongst each other. It would seem like they are comfortable in the awe of their fans. Not creeped out.
Then Hidan's cussing again.
"Hidan." The warning is in the voice of the man she believes is Kakuzu but she'd rather not turn and look.
He might look back.
And she doesn't want to draw attention to herself.
Her thoughts drift for a few moments and she thinks about Max. She'll be able to get him his PS3 soon enough. With work and all – she should be able to get it, and extra for the two birthdays that follow, before his birthday hits. Maybe she can buy him a game or two.
"Hidan, damn it! I am not paying for that!" the voice reaches her ears and she casts a quick look to the table where it comes from.
She only sees Hidan glaring at someone. That someone she can't see because a certain fangirl is blocking her line of sight.
Then, to her relief, the line moves forward and she scoots up a bit. Why can't this line move faster? She's starting to get this really weird feeling that someone is about to come at her. That someone is staring at her.
That, somehow, her good day is about to turn back. Very bad.
And sure enough, it happens with a, "Gwyn-Chan!"
Then she's tackled to the floor and pinned underneath a much heavier body that is not Naruto. He is, as far as she's concerned, the only one that uses –Chan at the end of her name.
Black hair tickles her face and she tilts her head away from it. The arms that are wrapped around her tighten before the male sits up. She stares up at Tobi with wide eyes.
Stares at the orange bandana and the smiling mouth. Stares and stares and stares.
His hands, smooth and seemingly flawless, have hers trapped above her head and she feels something strange coming from the male. Something dark and intent on something she cannot name. Some dangerous.
"Hello, Gwyn-Chan," he pauses and leans in.
His lips brush her earlobe as he whispers, "Did you get our message?"
Her shock is mirrored by the silence of an unknowing cafeteria.

Note from the Author: .Am I the only one who has a bad feeling where this is leading? And Tobi's persoanlity shift? What the hell is that about? Something fishy is going on...
