I woke up to the soft snores of Deidara, which was actually to be expected since he was sleeping right on top of me. I glared at him wondering how on earth he'd gotten on top of me without waking me up.

Then again I am somewhat of a heavy sleeper.

That's when I noticed the door was slightly opened and a pair of eyes were looking at us. I recognized the color and identified the person which made me pull Deidara protectively closer and let out somewhat of a feral growl at the newcomer.

"Mmm, Danna?" he asked sleepily opening his good eye, the other gently opening a few seconds later.

"What?" I growled angrily only to see Deidara's face fill with confusion.

"Leader wants to see you, something about newbies." and with that Sasuke was gone. Sasuke had been dragged along by Itachi for some strange reason, Kisame claimed it was a love for a family but since I never really had that other than a small bond with my grandmother I was doubtful.

Deidara gave an involuntary shudder; we'd never exactly forgiven him for what he did to Deidara last year. Most of the other members were sore about it as well but it was Itachi's decision and although the kid is blind he had one nasty right hook.

Then what he said came to mind. Newbies, as in people? For weeks it had been just us living in this place.

I sighed and sat up brining Deidara with me.

"So, we have newbies un." he said with a light dazed smile. "I wonder who they are."

"Same, come on brat let's go see." I hoisted him out of bed, however he continued to stay pressed against me, still filled with sleep. "Come on brat, time to wake up."

"Nghh." At that I pushed him off my shoulder and he let out a surprised yelp as he felt to the ground. "Danna!" I chuckled softly to myself and began changing out of my pajamas, well it's basically just a night shirt.

Deidara on the other hand sleeps in fleece pajamas claiming he gets cold easily at night. I knew he did which I why I didn't torment him for it like Hidan did. Soon I was in a T-shirt that I found on the floor and an old pair of jeans. I never liked sweatpants, they always made me seem chubby. Deidara however loved them and it was no surprise to me when I turned around to see him in them plus a sweatshirt. I also noticed where his eyes had been a second ago before he averted his gaze.

"Checking out my ass again?"

"No."

"Don't deny it brat, but you know if you wanted a better view you just could've asked." I said in a purr and Deidara's face at first blanched then became bright pink.

"It's not that! Those pants make your butt look big un!"

"And you're complaining about that?" I asked raising an eyebrow before he walked over and threw his arms around me.

"No, I just don't want anyone getting any ideas." He purred before kissing me and sticking his tongue in my mouth. We stood there for a few seconds until I remembered why we'd been woken up so early. I broke the kiss much to Deidara's displeasure.

"Newbies." I said, and his eyes lit up with recognition.

"Right let's go check em out un!" with that my hand was grabbed and I was now being dragged out, funny I'm the impatient one and I'm being dragged.

Needless to say we were the last two to arrive in the dining room where everyone else was already seated. We got an annoyed glance from Nagato, however we were both staring at the four newcomers who were standing at the door.

They weren't kidding, there were actually people who had discovered our base.

Did that make them a threat?

Would we have to kill them?

No, newbie suggested acceptance. Had Nagato allowed them into the Akatsuki? As unlikely as it sounded it seemed as if this is what had happened.

The two oldest might have been a little older than we were. One had blonde hair and constantly looked annoyed, she was wearing some kind of green kimono, and in the middle of her forehead was some kind of gem. The boy next to her had hair that was white which I didn't consider strange since I'd seen Hidan's silvery hair. He had face paint on which made me want to laugh at him and he was somewhat taller than the girl. The two kids with them were clearly Sasuke's age, one was small and blonde and twitched every few seconds, the other was pink haired with annoyed green eyes that resembled the eldest female.

"Guys." said Nagato, as if he wasn't talking to criminals but to a group of friends. "These four are from a rehab facility in a different area. Since they tried so hard to find us to better themselves."

Or in our words basically kill whoever tormented you in life which had become our initiations.

"I figured we might give them a trail run, see if they fit in with us." Immediately arguments began as the Akatsuki voiced their disapproval. "Konan's already checked their files, they are absolutely no danger to us." How Nagato managed to get files on anyone and everything nobody really knew, although if he was positive of something then it was best to trust him. He seemed to be the smartest of the group and definitely the most resourceful.

"This is Tsunade, Jiraya, Naruto, and Sakura. Please try to make them feel welcome."

So basically how we treated every other member.

I so wanted to dye the pink girl's hair which made me snicker.

"What's so funny?" Deidara whispered and I whispered in his ear making him giggle as well.

Soon we began standing up and heading to the kitchen for breakfast and other things, "Coming Danna?" Deidara asked and I shook my head no.

"I really want to finish a puppet I'm working on, bring me something later?" He smiled and nodded before following the others as I walked back to our room. My stomach growled angrily at me and I gently placed my hand on it. Of course I really didn't have anything to do right at the moment, but Deidara and Konan were right.

I am fat.
