After eating lunch with 18 people, the bell rang for my last lesson, which was double Design and Technology. You can do four subjects, Food Technology, Resistant Materials, Graphics and Textiles. I was in Food Technology, with Zaku, Kin, Lee and a boy in our class called Dosu. In DT we get spilt into different classes.
"I think I should stick with the people I know..." I thought as I scanned the classroom.
"HI EVERYONE!" Anko burst into the classroom door. Everybody flinched slightly. "We'll be cooking next lesson, which is next week Tuesday! As I'm such an awesome teacher, I will let you guys cook what you want!" The whole class cheered and started talking to each other about what they will cook.
"Anko-sensei, what are gonna do this lesson?" Dosu asked.
"I never really thought about that..." She opened her desk draw and shuffled around for something. Suddenly, she yanked out a box. "Let's just watch a film! It is a good way to waste a double lesson!" The whole class cheered again. We were watching the Titanic.


After school, I rushed out of the classroom and into the flooded hallways to find my locker. I needed to put my PE kit in there. Unfortunately, it was on the other side of the whole school. On my timetable it already told me what number it was, and the map Tenten gave me told me which lockers were where. I sighed, within five minutes the whole school was completely empty, and I thought it was just me, until I heard some voices.
"Sasori-danna! Hurry up, un!" one person said.
"You can't tell me what to do, Deidara." A voice I was assuming was Sasori.
"Yes I can!" The voice from before AKA Deidara replied.
"Who's older? Me or you?"
"You…"
"So I'm your superior. And I say shut up and wait!"
"Stop shouting!" Another voice joined the conversation.
"Shut up Tobi!" Deidara and Sasori exclaimed at the one called Tobi. I turned round the corner to see three boys. And my locker was right underneath what I was assuming Sasori's locker.
"Can I help you?" Sasori asked. He could probably see my blue locks from a mile away.
"Um, you're standing in front of my locker." I pointed to the locker at his feet. He locked his locker and moved aside. "Thanks." I walked over, crouched down and unlocked the metal container.
"Is it just Tobi or does she looks like a younger Konan-senpai?" Tobi whispered to Deidara.
"I'm not sure, hmm. I say she's like Konan if she was cute." Deidara replied back.
"I can hear you." I sighed as I could feel the blush sneaking onto my face. I slammed the door shut. "If you must know I'm Konan's cousin."
"So you're Kumiko-san?" Sasori corrected his information. "Konan told us that her younger cousin Kumiko was going to live with her and so we'd see you quite a lot."
"I take you guys are in the Akatsuki then." I stood up and turned to face them. They nodded.
"He's Sasori-senpai!" Tobi pointed to the red head. Sasori rolled his eyes.
"He's Tobi." Sasori narrowed his eyes at Tobi.
"And I'm Deidara, un." Deidara introduced himself.
"It's nice to meet you Sasori-senpai, Deidara-senpai and Tobi-senpai." I bowed. Tobi started jumping.
"Eh?! I'm a senpai! YAY!" Sasori and Deidara just sighed. "Oh wait a second, I already was a senpai."
"Anyway, we're going to Konan's house for an Akatsuki get together so we might as well walk home with you, un." Deidara started walking down the corridors and we started following his lead.


"Before Tobi starts talking random shit, how long have you been in Konoha, Kumiko-chan, un?"
"I only came here yesterday." I sighed. "And Onee-san forced me into this school! I'm just lucky I have photographic memory so I know where I'm going."
"Eh?! Miko-chan is super lucky! It's like she has superpowers!" I could tell Tobi was grinning through his orange lollipop mask. He started to spin around in circles until he lost his balance and his arm knocked a car's wing mirror.

And yes, it did fall off. And then the car alarm went off.

So we ran.

"Have you made any friends?" Sasori asked while catching his breath.
"Yeah. I met 28 new friends today, including you guys." I smiled while panting.
"So we're your friends, un?" Deidara stopped and turned to look at me.
"Yeah..." He smiled sweetly at me.


When we finally got my house, Nagato answered the door.
"Nagato-senpai!" I grinned at him. "You're such a liar!" I chimed sarcastically.
"How?"
"You said I would make new friends."
"And did you?"
"Yes..."
"So how am I-""I made too many friends!"
"Before you go on, do you consider those three lunatics your friends?" He pointed to Sasori, Deidara and Tobi.
"Yeah. They're my senpai. Like you."
"Tobi is so proud to be a senpai!" Everyone face palmed themselves at disbelief of Tobi's behaviour.
I rushed into the house and got changed. I jumped back downstairs wearing 3/4 jeans in a dark blue shade, with a green hoodie that had a cute frog face on it. I had placed my hands on the floor so I was in some weird frog pose. What I hadn't realised was that a guy with slick silver hair and amethyst eyes was standing right in front of me. He looked at me for a while.
"What sorcery is this?" He chuckled.
"I'm Kumiko, Konan's cousin." I explained in the simplest way possible.
"Hmm." He looked at the top of the stairs then at the bottom of the stairs, where I was putting my black converse on. "KONAN! GET YOUR ASS HERE NOW!"
"I can she where Konan gets that line from." I rolled my eyes as I remembered the horrible wakeup call I got this morning.
"What do you want Hidan?!" Konan stomped over to us. He motioned me to stand up. I stood up and stood next to Konan. He looked at us.
"Holy Jashin! You two are like twins!" I smirked at his remark.
"Yeah. And if we were, I'd be the prettier one!" I grinned triumphantly.
"Oi!" Konan smacked my head.
"I agree with Kumiko." Hidan shrugged then burst into laughter.
"Thank you Hidan-senpai." My blush returned.
"No proble-OW! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK KONAN?!" She stormed off back into the other room. Hidan just followed her into the room as everyone.
"I might as well join them…"
"Attention!" My older cousin announced. "If you haven't already met her, this is my younger cousin Kumiko." I scanned all of the people in the room. They were all sitting at the dining room table. One of the members of the Akatsuki caught my eye. He looked like an older version of Sasuke. Then, it finally hit me.
"Itachi." The noun had left my mouth. He looked at me. "You're Sasuke's older brother, right?"
"Yeah. You're not a fangirl, are you?" He raised his eyebrow.
"Don't worry. I'm not crazy about you or your brother." I reassured him.
"No one's crazy about me though!" A man with blue hair smacked his head on the table.
"Kisame-danna. We've already had this conversation, un." Deidara rolled his eyes.
"I know how you feel!" A guy with green hair smacked. His head on the table along with Kisame.
"Oh no, not you too Zetsu." I man wearing a scarf complained.
"Shut up Kakuzu!" They yelled into the table.
"I'm sure someone is crazy about you, Kisame-senpai, Zetsu-senpai." I smiled lightly. "I bet you they don't have the confidence to talk to you because they're scared you'll reject them."
"Miko-chan is right!" Tobi started clapping at my reassurance. Kisame and Zetsu lifted their heads and shrugged it off.
"Anyway, Kumiko-chan, don't you have homework?" Konan knelt down to my height, which wasn't far off.
"Ain't nobody got time for that. Besides, you can't get rid of me that easily." I gave her a childish smile before slipping into the kitchen and pulling out a carton of blackcurrant juice from the fridge. Konan sighed and took her seat next to Pein.
"Kakuzu, it's your turn to raise an issue." Pein nodded at Kakuzu. He stood up.
"We need a new way to make money." He stated. "If we don't, we'll have to make cuts. Any ideas?" The members of the Akatsuki looked at each other with doubt.
"Why don't you start a band?" I suggested. "You'd make a lot of money from concert tickets and fan collectables. Or maybe all of you could get a life. Which means get a job to help fund. Or, if you have a special talent, you could use that and get people to pay to use it."
"Why aren't you in the Akatsuki?" Pein smiled.
"I don't have a ring." I explained in the simplest way possible. Everyone in the Akatsuki had a ring to prove it, and they also wore a metal bracelet with the Akatsuki logo on it, which were red clouds.

(A/N: I know Sasori and Tobi have the same ring, but in this story Tobi has Orochimaru's ring, so everyone has their own ring.)

"I have a spare one." Pein reached into his pocket and pulled out an Akatsuki ring. The ring was of a raspberry pink colour and it had the kanji for 'dream' written in black. I couldn't help but stare.
"Thank you…" I was still trapped in the gaze.
"The ring colour is the same colour as her blush, un." Deidara thought aloud.
"I didn't notice at first, but now it's so fucking clear!" Hidan agreed.
"S-shut up!" I frowned.
"But where will Miko-chan place her ring? All of the finger positions are taken!" Tobi shot up.
"I know!" I dashed to my room and grabbed a chain. I jumped back down the stairs and walked swiftly into the room. I sewed the chain through the finger hole of the ring and let it fall into the middle. I tied it around my neck. "Problem solved."
"Konan, why didn't you tell us that your cousin is an absolute genius?" Kakuzu asked. Konan shrugged.
