So I stood in that hallway… still lost… with Tobi.

He started to walk, and I ran up and latched my hand around the upper part of his arm.

He turned and looked at me. I laughed nervously and stated, "Buddy system."

He nodded with that odd little laugh of his and began and run down the halls.

Now I was forced to hug him around the neck as he darted forward. To a random passerby, I would look like a cape.

He stopped abruptly and I was thrown forward and into a door. It opened with a loud bang and I ended up face planting in the wooden floor with my butt up above my head.

I groaned, "Ow…"

Tobi laughed, "Have fun, Nee-chan!"

And I heard his feet fade as he ran away.

I rolled over on my stomach and gasped.

Itachi and Deidara were both looking at me from their beds with nothing but pure 100% 'OMG' on their faces.

I went red in the face as I stood and dusted myself off.

I stated rather stupidly, "Tobi made me fall!"

Itachi just stood and began to move things from a pack to the shelves and into drawers around his bed.

I looked around the room and realized something important. There were two beds and three of us.

I backed away and to the door as Deidara asked, "Where are you going now, Hidori?!" His tone was cruel and full of hatred.

I muttered in return, "I am going to sleep in the hall."

Deidara sighed in annoyance, "Stupid psychology… Why?"

I reply as I stalk out the door, "There are only two beds."

Itachi and Deidara ask at the same time, Deidara with his annoyed tone and Itachi with his blunt one, "Then who do you want to sleep with?"

I grimaced and turned back from them and point to the door, "Hall."

Deidara muttered angrily as he grabbed a pillow and blanket and marched from the room with a simply frustrated look on his face.

I looked back to Itachi who tossed a fat pillow at my head.

I fell off balance and ended up on Deidara's ex-bed.

Deidara was opening a closet door and taking more sheets out.

I frowned as he gave me a set of bright pink sheets. I grimace but say nothing.

I put them on and stared at them a while. They did NOT fit the image of the Akatsuki.

Itachi was now in his bed leaning against the headboard and flipping through a book.

With a sudden interest, I pop up beside him and ask, "What are you reading?"

He glances at me and replied, "A book on chakra networks."

I frowned and asked, "Have anything interesting?"

He pointed to a stack of five or six books on his shelf and I walked over to them.

I frowned. There was a book on all the types of kunai, a book about poisons, a book on food pills, and another on the history of Konoha.

I squealed in delight as I selected it.

I bounded over to Deidara's… I mean… my bed…

I plopped down and set to reading late into the night.

After a while, I felt my eyes close on their own and I dipped into sleep.

-Itachi-

He glanced over at the now asleep girl as the book fell from her hands and into her lap.

He sighed and closed his own before walking over and taking her book.

He laid her out straight as he had done his younger brother several times when he'd fallen asleep in the wrong position.

Itachi pulled the covers over her and up to her chin.

He frowned at this thought and turned his back to her.

He felt her hand close around his and he looked back to her.

Her eyes were still closed and her breath remained slow and steady, but she whispered as a single tear rolled down her cheeks, "I want to go home…"

He released himself from her grasp and walked over to his own bed.

He flipped the light off and lay down.

His head was relaxed on his hands like a pillow as he stared out of the single open window in the room and straight up to the stars.

He closed his eyes and faded into the half-sleep of an aware ninja.

-Next morning-

I woke up and shoved the blanket from me and into the floor. It was one of the better rests I'd had since arriving in Naruto.

I yawned and stretched as my memories came back a little at a time.

I found the room's bathroom and shut it behind me as I decided to take a shower before changing into the cloths I had been 'left' by the Akatsuki.

The water relaxed me and calmed all of my nerves.

I turned the water off and pulled a towel in the shower and wrapped it around me before stepping out.

I sighed in relaxation just as the door opened and a startled looking Deidara gaped at me.

He went bright red and covered both his eyes; even the one was a camera, like a little kid.

"SORRY HIDORI-CHAN!"

He turned and ran from the room and into the opposite wall before stumbling onto his butt and struggling to stand again.

During this excitement, I dressed as quickly as humanly possible and stood their brushing my hair as he finally opened his eyes.

He sighed in relief as I backed away and over to the bathroom door again.

He flinched and I sighed, "I was going to see if there was any toothbrushes in the cabinet."

He followed cautiously into the room as I opened a brand new toothbrush and brushed quickly and spat the stuff out every few seconds.

He looked awed. "You look just like Hidori, but you're nothing like her."

I nod, "Thank you."

Deidara frowns and seems to think.

He turns and walks from the room with another perfect glare at me. "Don't get comfortable here."

I sigh and walk from the room with my soaking hair and down the hall hoping that I wasn't getting lost again.

How could I get lost when there was 'his' laugh?

Tobi appeared from thin air in front of me and cooed, "Morning, Morgan-nee-chan!"

I gulped and replied, "Morning, Tobi."

He grabbed the upper part of my arm and turned me the opposite way.

"Buddy System to the kitchen!"

I sighed in relief, "Thanks…"

He nods and leads the way.

We enter the kitchen and I freeze up.

Every member in the Akatsuki was there all in their pajamas.

Sasori was just wearing a net shirt over his real form with the ninja pants. Kisame was wearing a blue wife beater and fishy boxers. Kakuzu wasn't wearing a top just ninja pants. Hidan was completely naked.

At this, I screamed and ran from the room holding my eyes.

Itachi, dressed in what appeared to be a bath robe, walked out after me to see what was wrong.

I remembered the others and screamed as I ran. Pein had been wearing a black muscle shirt and black pants of some sort. Zetsu was actually dressed thank the lord. Tobi was dressed. Deidara was dressed. Konan was wearing a rather revealing top with short shorts. (Not that this bothered me seeing as I was a girl.)

I stopped after a while and breathed in the relief of not having to see them anymore.

Itachi asked, "What was that?"

I turned on him and screamed, "WHAT WASN'T THAT?! THAT WAS NOT NATURAL!"

He sighed, "Welcome to the first month of 'Akatsuki Meet'."

I frowned, "What's that?"

He replies, "This time every year we all meet to get to know one another. That's why Deidara and I are to share a room like that."

I nod after a moment and ask, "Do you always dress like that in the mornings?"

He simply began to walk away.

I followed and he led me back to the kitchen and I frowned.

Everyone was now fully dressed and sitting straight up looking directly forward.

Everyone muttered at the same instant, "Sorry Morgan-chan…"

I asked, "Huh?"

Leader stated, "We were all supposed to have been dressed by the time you got here. We forgot."

I ask again, "Why should you care about me?"

A random member replies, "Because we knew you'd react like that."

I sighed and rubbed my temples.

I walked over to the refrigerator and whispered to myself, "Bipolar… I swear it…"

I slammed the thing closed as I pulled the plate labeled 'Morgan's breakfast' from it and pulled the plastic away. Eggs and bacon… yummers.

I sat down between Sasori and Deidara and ate my fill as I ignored the gaze of the rest of the Akatsuki.

They were a little more human to me now though I was tenser around them than I had ever been. They still scared the living crap out of me in person. I just hide it well.
