Chapter Eight: A New True Friends And A New False One

Turns out we didn't die. I don't know how because my eyes were glued shut until Sasori dropped me on my own bed. I looked around the room and saw my roommates fighting over Sasori's laptop.

"I just want to check something Danna!" Deidara whimpered pulling the computer toward him.

"Give it back brat!" Sasori growled pulling back on his laptop.

"You're going to break it," I sighed watching the two fighting over it. Deidara ended up giving up before the computer would end up being smashed on the floor. Sasori claimed victory by sitting cross-legged on his bed checked his emails or whatever he did on that poor overly used laptop. "Sasori almost gave me a heart attack," I sighed after things had calmed down between the two males.

"That's interesting un," Deidara said obviously not interested the amazing jump we somehow survived.

"Thank you for caring," I muttered, "so did I miss all our classes?"

"We just un-rusted some basic Taijutsu un," Deidara said with a shrug "like always I did average hmm."

"You always fail Taijutsu," snickered Tobi's annoying voice from the doorway.

"Shut up Tobi," Deidara growled in a low dangerous way. Tobi chuckled walking into the room much to Deidara's distaste.

"That was quiet a beating you got new girl," the odd boy said to me his hands on his hips.

"I have a name," I snapped not in the mood for a reminder of my ass kicking.

"So does Tobi," he said with a laugh. No one else found it that funny.

"I should go find Itachi-sempai," I sighed sliding off my bed "to see if he would like to train with me the more conventional way." Deidara laughed at this as I left the room hoping my roommates wouldn't die from annoyance.

I closed the door behind me and sighed. I stayed there leaning up agencies the red stained door. The hall was empty but I could head the cackling of the fireplace in the Room Of Dawns across the hall. So I walked in having an odd feeling as I walked into the ominous great room.

Sitting at the low table was Konan.

"Come here," she said. Her voice was low and gentle but had a dangerous underlining tone. I hesitated and stood frozen to the spot. "You're an artist right?" she asked looking up at me from her cup of tea. I nodded dumbly looking back at her. "Do you have any idea how you can put your art into your Jutsus?" She asked and frowned when I shook my head. "Well come over here and I can help you," she said as her skin on her face pealed off but was now a piece of paper. I gasped as she put the paper down on the table and took out a pencil from behind her ear.

"You draw?" I asked carefully walking over and sitting next to the older girl.

"No," she said, "I do origami and kind of like Deidara's attacks I can make the paper animals come to life and attack, but that doesn't matter what do you do?"

"Draw I guess," I said with a shrug "people, animals, dragons stuff like that."

"Dragons?" she asked looking at me with her crystal cold eyes. "That's interesting." I looked at her with a blank stare. "Well transformation and summoning Jutsus can both be rather difficult," she sighed thinking out loud. She scribbled a few symbols in what looked like Chinese or Japanese or something like that. Not that I would know anything. "Oh well we can think about this once you know something about basic ninjutsu. Meet me back here the first Monday of October at this time." Konan got up taking the paper with her and left the room leaving me alone at the table very confused. What is she up to?

After a bit of sitting and looking at the walls like a moron I left the Room Of Dawns and started down the darkening hallway. It was nearly ten but I still needed to see Itachi before I could go to bed. I knocked on Itachi and Kisame's door, I heard a shuffle of feet before the giant blue man opened the door and smiled down at me.

"Jenny I heard about your training day," he chuckled and I looked back at him not amused.

"Is Itachi-sempai in?" I asked trying to look past him but his shoulder blocked my view.

"Yea come on in but curfew is at eleven so don't get to comfortable," Kisame said stepping aside and allowing me in. "He's on the toilet or something so just wait on the sofa." I nodded and sat down on the simple well taken cared of black leather couch unlike our beaten up squishy dog crap sofa. In fact the whole dorm was very neat and clean again unlike my dorm filled with three messy artists one of which likes to throw clay everywhere.

After fifteen minutes Itachi walked out of the bathroom his long straight black hair lose around his shoulders. He wore a baggy black t-shirt and jeans; it was rather odd seeing him as a normal guy. Itachi was sometime more then just some guy, he walked into the room and everyone would shut up in either respect or fear.

"Itachi," I said with a smile. He blinked at me then glanced over at Kisame who was folding clothes on the small breakfast table.

"What are you doing here?" he asked bluntly.

"Oh I just wanted to see you," I said looking away embarrassed, that came out way more 'friendly' then it should have.

"Hn," he sighed sitting down at my right. "What is it you want?"

"I was hoping that you could start actually training me," I said looking at him and my brain kind of fizzled out for a second because he looked like some sort of dark god. His bangs hung over his coal black eyes, his shoulder blade length hair framed his ivory face that allowed the color of his curved lips to pop. "Wow you look really good…"

"What?"

"I err nothing."

I opened my eyes slowly and sat up groggily. I glanced over at the digital clock and gasped, it was nine thirty! I had told Itachi (after that awkward moment) that I'd meet him at the Room of Dawns at eight! Someone had turned off the alarm.

"Deidara!" I roared jumping from my bed onto him. "Damn you Deidara!"

"Ow Whoa- What?" he grunted trying unsuccessfully to sit up but I was kneeing him in the chest.

"You turned off the alarm!" I growled.

"Yea," he replied with a smile. "You set it at eight are you nuts un?"

"I was going to meet Itachi today," I whined glaring down at him.

"You're over reacting," said a monotone voice "I'm over here." I blinked and turned around still sitting on Deidara mind you and saw Itachi on the sofa. "Sasori let me in after I waited a half an hour in the Room Of Dawns."

"Oh my God Itachi I'm really sorry," I said. "Oof!" I squeaked as Deidara promptly pushed me off him and the bed.

"So you've been up watching us sleep hmm?" the blond asked annoyed. He sat up and I happily noted that he was in fact shirtless and even with me flat on the ground my perverted gaze fallowed him.

"Don't flatter yourself I was watching Jen-Chan sleeping," Itachi said as I stood up.

"What!" Deidara and me said at the same time. Itachi tilted his head to the side and we both stared at him blankly. Deidara huffed and crossed his arms.

"Yea whatever," Deidara said making Itachi's mouth twitch.

"Deidara-kun don't be so cross I'll only have her for a few hours," Itachi said making Deidara beat red.

"Um…I'll go get dressed," I said quickly taking a uniform from the tiny dresser the three of us share and heading into the bathroom. The testosterone was killing me! I sighed stripping off my PJ's and into my uniform. Shower could wait until after training.

When I came out Deidara was buried under his blankets only a small hole let him look out to what was going on. I walked over to him and looked into the hole.

"Deidara?" I asked and he grunted. "I'll be back in a few hours if your not going to take classes and be angsty all day. Okay?"

"Fine un," he replied and I rolled my eyes. I wasn't even going to ask what his issue with Itachi is I have no time. I quickly fallowed Itachi out trying to keep up with his long strides. Like Deidara he was just a little taller then myself but his movements were fast and graceful so I was having a hard time keeping up with him.

When we got out to the field I noticed that many of the Tower students and some Temple had an adult with them. They were in mostly groups of three with the elder ninja teaching them.

"Eh Itachi-sempai why doesn't the Akatsuki have adult teachers?" I asked, "I mean even Pein-sama is rather young."

"The Akatsuki work as one team," Itachi said, "we work as one big group instead of many small ones. So instead of having adult teachers the elder students teacher the younger ones."

"Oh that's a pretty cool idea," I said as we found a spot near the large pond under a few trees. He didn't say anything and pulled a few weird knives and throwing stars from a bag that was strapped to his thigh.

"Your going to have aiming lessons," he said "give me five consistent hits to that tree," he pointed to the farthest skinniest tree he could fine. "And throw them from the water's edge."

"Um okay," I said reaching for the knife but he pulled it away from my reach.

"First of all this is a kunai just so you know," Itachi said "and second of all if you miss any shots you must take a lap around the pond."

"Humph," I grumbled taking the 'kunai' by the thin iron handle. I took my place at the water's edge and took aim at the trunk of the tree. I swung my arm and let go of the blade. I sighed as it missed the tree by about twenty yards. I looked over at Itachi who had his arms crossed and was watching me with unblinking eyes.

"You asked for it Jenny," I sighed breaking into my awkward run. Not even halfway going I saw the blond bitch that had slammed me into the wall of the ramen place talking with the pick haired girl. They didn't see me but I ran a little faster as I passed them by.

The whole three hour training session went pretty much the same. The most kunai I hit in a row was like two. I did a lot of running today. I collapsed under the tree I had been aiming at. My leg muscles hurt, and I'm sure I pulled muscles I didn't even know I had. The roots of my hair where dripping with perspiration that slipped down my forehead and off the tip of my nose. But it was a hell of a lot better then getting the shit beaten out of me and spending the day in a hospital bed. So who's really complaining?

"Hey you," said someone in front of me. I thought for a second that it was Deidara but no the voice was too high and she was wearing the red Fire Tower uniform with the symbol of the Tower (which looked like a swirl with a triangle and a line coming off it) embroidered in black. "Sorry about the other day Akatsuki don't normally go to the ramen place so a lot of Fire students were pissed," she said with a small smile.

I looked up at her and blinked. "You pushed me into a wall and put a kunai to my neck," I said "don't be surprised that I'm just a little confused."

"Well," she said sitting down in front of me cross-legged. "The kids you were hanging with they hurt two of our friends real bad last year in a battle. Gaara of Wind Tower who is attached Naruto by the hip and Sakura who's my best friend. Well we thought since Deidara was a first year he'd be an equal battle partner to Gaara who is at the top of his class. And Sasori wanted to join us too and he even said he'd go easy. Well in the end Gaara was put in the hospital for a month after losing horrible to Deidara and Sakura won her fight barely and also needed hospital care. Sasori was a bit injured and gave his complements to Sakura but only needed to repair himself a bit. Deidara had a badly broken arm from one of Gaara attacks but wasn't in the hospital more then a week. All and all both the Fire and Wind Towers are just angry because Akatsuki are such powerful fighters even if they are just a Temple branch."

"Oh," I said surprised that even in only his first year Deidara could put a top student out of commission for a month and only come out with a broken arm. As for Sasori I could already tell he was powerful but what surprised me was that he let a first year beat him, perhaps that's why the Fire Tower was angry, they wanted a fair fight not a half assed one.

"Yea," she said "well I'm Ino by the way." She said with an extra sweet smile.

"I'm Jenny," I said and smiled back at her. Okay maybe she wasn't such a bitch and at lest I knew why the Akatsuki are so disliked. They are threatening to the Towers who must think themselves very powerful over the Temples. That must also be why that Tsunade lady had been so cross when putting me with the Akatsuki she knew that in only one year of training I could be more powerful then some of her second or third years. In reality this thought scared me more then it comforted. "And thanks for telling me this."

"Any time," she said "I'm not that strong and I barley passed last year but I'd love to fight you one day." So that was it, she is just afraid of me! She just wants to get on my good side so I don't kick her ass in a month or two! I take back what I said before Ino is a total two-faced bitch!

"And it would be a pleaser to fight you too," I said acting as if I was still fooled by her fake smile. She smiled again stood up and said a quick good bye before speeding off with inhuman speed. "Humph bitch," I muttered to myself.

A.N: See Jenny isn't as stupid as you think! She is already thinking like a ninja and doesn't even know it yet! And what's with Itachi was he attempting to flirt? And Deidara why did he get so pissy? And were the hell did Sasori go? All questions will be answered in the next chapter of the Academy!

Itachi: Don't be so damatic the bad narration ending is so Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo Bo-Bo
