A.N: Um yeah sorry it took so long I havn't been in the writting mood lately. I put a bit of Romeo and Juliet influence in this chapter because that's what it remided me of when I desided that Jen-chan and Deidara would be on different teams. But wait who is this new guy? Perhaps a Paris?

Chapter Thirty-Six: Juliet finds her Paris

Everyone decided that there was safety in numbers so we cramped another mattress into my, Sasori, and Deidara's dorm. Deidara was nearly finished packing once Hidan and Kakuzu successfully got the twin sized mattress through the door and where arguing over who was going to sleep on the sofa.

"Dei," I called taking his shoulder as he was about to leave "I'll miss you."

"Yeah…well I better go I guess yeah?" he smiled but he looked sad.

"I guess," I said awkwardly looking away but he grabbed my shoulders and kissed me in front of the whole Black Team. The kiss was quick and he pulled away smirking before leaving to head to the other side of the hall.

"Ugh it's going to be Romeo and Juliet with you two isn't it?" Hidan growled and I silently giggled at the comparison.

"You read Shakespeare Hidan-kun?" I smiled turning back to the five boys. Hidan rolled his eyes as he lay back on Deidara's bed. Kisame chuckled from his spot on the poop sofa. "Hmm I have a feeling this exam is going to suck."

"Tell me about it," Hidan sighed "they have Itachi, Konan, and Zetsu. And what do we got? Nothing! We don't even work much together."

"Neither do they," Kakuzu said practically "and we're both of equal strength, if anything they are weaker, they have Tobi after all."

"Don't underestimate Tobi," I snapped making Kakuzu glare at me "he's stronger then he looks. Plus Zetsu trains him so no telling what he could do."

"Lets not underestimate any of them," Sasori said "what we should worry about at this particular time is food. The Academy is now being ruled by the students," Sasori stated as I sat down onto my own bed. "What we need to do is find a way to be able to get food quickly and easily without the Red teaming knowing."

"Our best bet is to go by night then," Kisame said "probably around one or two in the morning before the mad rush starts tomorrow."

"What about that trader?" Hidan asked making everyone look up "we can't send one person…the factor of the trader means we can't trust anyone team mate or other wise."

"True," I agreed "and we'd need people to keep watch at night, to make sure no one leaves the room unauthorized. Pretty much we have to know where everyone is at all times."

"What if the trader is on the other team?" Sasori asked making me look over at him "we have to be able to track there moves also."

"Yeah and since each team has five people we can't buddy up," Kakuzu pointed out "one person will always be the odd one out."

"Well…" I murmured making everyone look over at me "I don't know if you noticed but today Pein said that his meaning all Academy rules no longer apply…including that for what was on the scroll. So when the exam starts I'll show you guys my ring because I know I'm not the trader and since Pein can't do anything about it I wont be punished."

"He never said there would be punishment anyway," Kisame said "he just said not to show others your ring. It's a mind game to make people do what you want."

"Yea but we shouldn't push our luck," Sasori said "Jenny will be the only one to show her ring. We still don't know all the variables so if we are going to break a rule lets at lest break it softly."

"I agree," Kakuzu said but Hidan didn't look satisfied.

"Why don't we all show our rings?" he demanded "that way we either get the trader quickly or the trader is on the other team."

"But…" Kisame butted in before Hidan could go any further with his rant "if the trader is on our team we'll be down one person and that would be a weakness the Red Team can take advantage of. Better not to unmask this person so quickly into the war. We should wait until the civil war has been settled before finding the trader."

"I side with Kisame," I said. "He's right Hidan, this civil war can end three different ways. One we beat the Red team and keep them captive till the end of the exam, two we join back together as Akatsuki peacefully, or three number one would happen but only to us."

"Then why can't we just make peace with them in the morning?" Kakuzu said "they are our friends after all."

"Because this is a test to see if we can get two groups that hate each other back together duh," Hidan drawled "even Romeo and Juliet are going to have to hate each other."

"This sucks," I muttered falling back on my pillow. Hidan laughed half heartedly.

We stayed up until midnight the start of the exam and as I promised I pulled the chain of my necklace out of my shirt and showed everyone the light blue gem. They studied it as Kakuzu roughly translated the kanji making sure that it wasn't I who had the ring reading sphere, which I didn't. Now able to trust me they paired off evenly, Kisame being paired with Sasori, and Hidan and Kakuzu being partners since they where room mates and knew everything about each other. It would be easy for the zombie brothers to tell if there partner was lying so Kisame and Sasori where really our only variables.

"Since Jenny is alone she should go out for food first," Kisame said.

"But she'd just a first year Kisame-san!" Hidan growled looking over at me, "don't take this the wrong way, your good and all, but you'll be mauled by upper classmen."

"I think I can take care of myself Hidan-kun," I muttered slightly annoyed. "It's just getting food for five people that shouldn't be to difficult."

"How about someone go with her for back up?" Kisame asked. "I'll go I don't mind."

"What's the point of having partners if we're going to divide them anyway?" Kakuzu remarked "Jen-Chan can go alone. If she isn't back in a few hours we'll go after her."

"Thanks Kakuzu-san," I murmured.

"Alright," Sasori said making everyone look over at him type away at the computer "you should go then Jen-Chan, don't you dare make us wait."

"Err right," I said hoping off my bed and opening the window next to my bed "see you guys in an hour or so." I took my Akatsuki cloak, slung my wakizashi on my left hip and my katana on my right, I took the four dragon scrolls and put them in there respective belt pouches, lastly I took a leg pouch of kunai and shuriken. Finished my preparations I said a quick good bye and jumped out the window.

I landed in a near by tree that grew five feet from the window. I shielded my charka the best I could, I knew I wasn't the best at charka control when it came to suppressing it. So with that I jumped silently from the tree to the ground when I saw that the cost was clear.

Then I was of in a sprint. I wasn't the best runner in the world even with my long legs but at lest I was silent as I ran and hopped through the shadows of campus.

"Over there Suigetsu-kun!" someone yelled making me look up suddenly and almost trip on my own feet. It was a female voice but I couldn't really tell where it came from.

"Shut up you dumb-ass!" growled a male voice along with foot steps.

My stalling didn't last long. Thinking fast I jumped up onto a shop roof. That was a bad idea.

"Hey what-?" a guy looked up from a girl he had been previously making out with. My eyes widened ten fold and I tried to step backward but remembered that the edge of the roof was behind me. "Of for the love of-Damn Akatsuki," the guy whom I realized was Sasuke and the girl was…Oh My God Ino!

"I-uh have fun," I quickly said popping out a smoke bomb and smashing it in front of the couple while I made my cunning escape…right in front of two Sound Temple students.

"Well what do we have here?" the light blue haired boy said with a sharp toothed grin.

"Looks like that new Akatsuki whore," the red haired girl giggled next to him.

"What did you call me?" I growled remembering the girl being one of Sasuke's many groupies. Her name was Karin I believe and she was another of the few American ninja students…she came from California or something like that. She was a first year like me and the blue haired boy was also. I remember them from the beginning of the year when we where given out our classes, Karin at first had been in the Wind Tower but I guess she switched mid-year. The other kid had also been in a different Tower but I guess he switched also.

"You heard me you little-" I didn't let her finish her sentence because I'd already punched her in the face. She fell and I quickly unsheathed my twin swords to block the other kid's on coming beheader blade. I used extra charka to be able to hold him back, the kid was incredibly strong. "My nose!" I heard Karin cry out behind me.

The boy in front of me smiled wickedly. He had a handsome face with pale skin and dark purple eyes. His smile was a crooked grin with one long fang sticking out the side of his mouth and curling over his lower lip. He was cute in a different kind of way, kind of like how Kakuzu was handsome despite first glances.

"Nice punch girl," he said putting more force behind his blade "takes a lot to make that moron shut up. What's your name?"

Is he flirting with me?!

"Jenny," I growled replacing my feet so I could push back.

"I'm Suigetsu," he replied pulling back and away.

I kept my blades up defensively. He just smiled before looking back at his partner who was still whimpering over her bleeding nose. I watched him roll his deep amethyst eyes before resting his meat cleaver of a sword on his shoulder.

"Come on Karin-baka-Chan," he sighed "there's no need to fight today."

"But-Orochimaru-sama said to bring down any Akatsuki members we find," she said trying to pick herself up.

"Why do his orders count anymore? He can't do anything to us," Suigetsu said before smiling over at me "besides I'm not going to even try taking down someone who is so much prettier and probably way smarter then you."

"Hey!" Karin spat getting to her feet "That whore is not prettier then me!"

"But you do agree that she is smarter," he replied smiling as his red head partner began to fume. "You can go along Jenny-san you'll find no fight from me tonight," he replied looking over at me.

I glared back at his amused gaze before leaping away.

Breaking into the 25 cent store was very easy. I grabbed as much stuff as I could hold in my clock (I used it as a make shift bag). I got some frozen meals along with a giant bag of pre-popped pop corn, two half gallons of water, oranges, and rice. I haled the massive weight onto my back and headed out running faster then I had trying to get to the damn store.

"Finally you got back here," Sasori said as I entered through the window "I hope you remembered to steal a microwave."

"WHAT?!"

Hidan chuckled at my face as I put my clock filled with food onto my bed my face red with rage.

"I got the food didn't I?" I yelled over at the puppet who was still typing at his computer. "Someone can go get a damn microwave in the morning!"

"You seem flustered Jen-Chan." Kakuzu said with amusement in his emerald green eyes "did something go not according to plan?"

"Well first off I found Sasuke making out with some girl on a roof, I smoke bombed my way out of that situation and jumped right in front of two Sound kids. I punched one of them out for calling me a whore and the other one I fought till he decided I wasn't worth fighting…it was weird," I sighed as I went over and curled up at the top of Deidara's bed next to Hidan.

"Nice," the Jashinist replied and I gave a snort. "Don't worry your little head," Hidan teased poking my leg "we guys will watch out for you next time."

"I agree, making her go alone was a bad idea," Kisame muttered from the sofa.

"I'm tiered," I murmured curling up into a tight ball on Deidara's pillow, silently meditating to preserve my memories.

The whole time Sasori tapped away at the computer keys, this light sound rang though my dreams.
