Five, yeah! I'm on a roll… I just posted number four so I decided to start on five with what time I have left in study hall. I just realized that I didn't have any of the Akatsuki in Biology with Pedo-sensei. I might change that. Crud. Anyways, now I'm gonna hafta upload in an even more roundabout way than before, because ever since FF changed the account setup, I can't access ANYTHING without going to the mobile version, which we all know you can't upload from. So. RAWRRR!
Sai showed me where my Literature class was, and I almost wished he didn't. I was already tired of meeting new people and being helpless without the help of those I'd just met. Ino and Shikamaru were in there though, so I walked right over to them. Shikamaru looked up at me and smirked. Ino waved and giggled.
"So, Sai, huh? You guys would make a cute couple!" I felt heat rush to my face. She was… out of her mind. Insane. A schizo nut job. No way…. At least, I didn't think so. I really had no reason to be so adamantly against the idea, since we'd just met, but….
"No, Ino, no way. There's nothing going on there. At least, not like that there's not." I glanced over at Shikamaru as I said this, and somehow, it seemed like he was un-tensing. I might have imagined it though.
"If you're sure." She giggled again. That was going to get aggravating.
I looked around at the others in the gazed landed on another pair of boys, obviously Akatsuki by their hoodies. One of them had spiky… green? hair and half of his face was painted black. The other had orange hair, not quite as bright as mine but pretty close. His face was covered in piercings, three bars through his nose, snakebites, six earrings in each ear, plus an industrial bar in each. He had scleral* contacts in with six or so rings around his pupil, and his irises were completely gone; his entire eye was a light lavender. The effect on his face was probably supposed to be intimidating, but I thought he was hot. Just saying. Anyways…
Shikamaru noticed where I was looking and said "That's Pein and Zetsu. Pein's the leader of Akatsuki. Bad news. It's such a drag, the way every girl thinks they're so amazing."
Otherwise, Literature passed uneventfully, and I was on my way to Health with Ino as my guide. She wasn't in the class, however, Hinata and TenTen were. I sat with them and was getting to know them both better by teaching them to play "Never Have I Ever" before Kakashi-sensei showed up. Apparently, he's always late.
"Okay, my turn," I said. "Never have I ever…. gone skinny-dipping!" TenTen giggled and Hinata slowly put down a finger. We gaped at her in shock.
"H-hinata-chan, you've been skinny-dipping?" TenTen gasped. I couldn't believe it. Shy, cute Hinata went skinny-dipping? She blushed more. We decided to let her go, she was blushing so hard by now, we thought she would faint. "Okay, my tur-"
"Oi! B****!" An annoyingly familiar voice called from behind me. A pair of arms wrapped around my waist from behind. I knew I should've sat in the seat properly. My face flushed red as Hidan lifted me out of my chair.
"HIDAN! Put me down! Let go! C'mon, please? Put me the hell down now!" I kicked and wriggled trying to get free, but he just held me tighter. We were causing quite a scene, Hinata looked terrified and TenTen looked pissed that he interrupted us.
"You know him?" She asked, surprised.
"Sadly, I met him in the office today when I got sent there during Pedo-sensei's class."
"Oh. Wait…. What did you do to get sent to the office?"
"I made fun of his guy-liner. And called him out for trying to get in Sasuke's pants."
"SERIOUSLY?" She started laughing so hard she fell out of her chair, and Hinata even smiled.
"Yeah, Tsunade-sama was pretty cool with it though, she didn't really punish me at all!"
"OI! B****es, I'm still here you know!"
"How could I freaking forget! You're still holding me! Put me down please?" He dropped me back in my chair. I pouted and glared at him, and he laughed. "It's not funny!" I smacked his arm repeatedly, making him laugh harder. Just then, Kakashi-sensei walked in.
"Hidan, stop irritating Kai. Sorry I'm late, I got sidetracked h-'' He was interrupted by a chorus of "yeah rights" and a single "bull s***" from the baka behind me. He gave Hidan a warning glare before starting his lecture. Apparently, I came at the perfect time. They were just starting sex ed. Oh joy.
Hidan sat behind me the whole period, poking me in the back, playing with my hair, and all around ticking me off. I tried my best to ignore him. I was doing fairly well, until he poked me in the ribs. I squeaked and jumped a little, and everyone in the class turned to stare at me. I blushed and threw a glare at him over my shoulder. He was chuckling under his breath at my squeak. Hey, it's not my fault I'm extremely ticklish.
The bell rang, and TenTen and Hinata led me off to lunch. "He so likes you," TenTen stated.
I stared at her incredulously; no way in heck was she right. Hidan didn't like me. We'd just met, and I can barely stand him. He was loud, obnoxious, masochistic, and just an all around jerk. Right? I mean, there was no way that he….
Speak of the devil. As soon as we entered the cafeteria, I saw Hidan chasing Deidara around two round tables, both filled with guys in the standard Akatsuki hoodies. I noted Itachi and Kisame sitting at one table with Sasori, a kid with an orange mask on (what was up with that?), Zetsu, and an empty chair. At the other table, there was a guy with darker skin and half his face covered with a mask, Pein, and a girl with blue hair, plus an empty chair. The masked guy from Pein's table stood up and grabbed Hidan by the hood, and slammed him down into the empty chair. Deidara stopped, panting, and sat in the empty chair next to Sasori. I giggled watching their antics, and TenTen tracked my gaze.
"They're always like that. Their behavior is so immature... but it seems... Hidan's not the only on crushing, ne? So which one is it?"
"D-don't be ridiculous! Why is everyone assuming I like someone? It's only my first day here! You guys are reading way too much into everything!" I stormed off to the lunch line, looking for any reason to get away from the bizarreness. I stood there alone for a while, hoping TenTen, Ino, and everyone else would just leave me be for a little while. I glanced back at them, and Sakura was holding Ino back, because she looked like she wanted nothing more than to come and drill me on how my day has gone, give me a run down of who's who in the cafeteria, and play matchmaker all at once. Thank you, Sakura-chan!
I turned around quickly, and walked forward...
….Straight into the guy with the piercings from Literature. I stumbled backwards and landed on my butt. Ugh... why me?I looked up at him, and our eyes met. He was almost completely expressionless, but there was a faint trace of amusement dancing in his eyes. Those contact lenses made his gaze all the more intense, and I found myself blushing profusely. He offered me his hand to help me up, and I grabbed it gratefully.
"Gomen-nasai. I wasn't paying attention. I'm Kai. And you are Pein-sama, correct? One of my friends pointed you out earlier."
He smiled faintly at the honorific (and possibly the creeper-ish fact that someone pointed him out to me). "That's right."
I nearly stumbled into him again when someone glomped me from behind. Pein steadied me and glared over my shoulder at the guy that nearly knocked me over. I turned around and there was that wierd guy with the mask.
"Tobi's sorry girl-chan! Tobi didn't mean to knock you over! Tobi just wanted to hug you!" the kid piped up. I assumed he was Tobi, and he was speaking in third was so childish. I liked him right away, he was too cute.
"Tobi, you idiot! Watch what you're doing! Sorry Kai-chan, Leader-sama. I tried to stop him." Deidara said, coming up behind Tobi.
"SEMPAI!" Tobi yelled, and Deidara and I both sweat-dropped. Tobi glomped Dei-kun, and we all went through the lunch line like that, Deidara trying to pry Tobi off, Pein staring at them perplexed, and me, laughing at them all.
I walked over to the tables where everyone from homeroom sat, and thanked Kami when the rest of lunch passed uneventfully.
*Scleral lenses cover the entire visible portion of your eye.
All righty, school is out. I will try to update as often as possible this summer. I posted a poll on my profile for you all to decide the final two, or three... or four... see, its too hard for me to choose! Here's how it will work: whoever gets the most votes will be the definite in the end, second most will be the other in the triangle who doesn't get the girl in the end. Though, depending on how the story develops, I might decide to change it. I will close the poll by chapter ten, or earlier, depending on how man vote and how close the winners are. Please vote!
