I followed the group through the hallways as my adrenaline began to furiously pump into me. Itachi was picking the movie and everyone was waiting to discover what he would choose. I gleamed like the little girl I was and wanted to cry. This was so cool!

We walked in and noticed that the awesome couch had been pulled up closer to the TV and the stereo was unplugged. I also noted that a piece of the WALL had opened and from it Pein had pulled out a counter. He then began to unpack what was INSIDE the counter.

There was a silent microwave, a refrigerator… (I hoped it had coke and not things that make men/women drunk) and several other things.

I stood their open mouthed at the sheer mass of it all.

I looked to Itachi and state his name very bluntly, "Itachi." He nods in wait for my question, "YOUR BASE IS AWESOME!" My face twisted into the largest grin of my life.

Everyone simply rolled their eyes in my direction as Kisame asked from the microwave, "You want popcorn, Morgan?" I gleamed and ran over. He handed me the bowl and I 'found' the BUTTER MACHINE. *drool* (this was SO my dream house) I poured it on and looked in the fridge.

HOLY CATS. THEY HAD COKE.

I grabbed a can and darted over to sit on the edge next to the lamp. Itachi picked me up as though I weighed nothing and scooted me down one where he sat beside the lamp and began to shuffle through the DVD case he held.

Hidan muttered something about making sure Itachi didn't pick a sissy movie and shoved me down another spot. Kisame sighed and sat between me and Hidan with an annoyed frown. Clearly he wanted to watch Itachi pick.

Kakuzu dropped down on my right and Zetsu beside him.

Tobi was near the plant man and then Sasori and then Deidara.

Konan walked in and saw the arrangements.

"No way. I call new girl."

I frowned. She meant me right? Konan walked over and sat between Kakuzu and me while Pein sat between her and Kakuzu.

Konan states, "You are way better than Deidara. He cries at all the romantic parts."

I laughed inwardly where no one could hear.

Itachi held up the movie he wanted.

I asked, "What's it about?"

Itachi stated very blankly, "It's a story about a ninja whose comrade ditched him in battle and died and now he's come back for revenge as a zombie to kill his village. I heard it is very well made."

"Um…" I murmured and everyone looked to me. "I'm not good with scary movies…"

Hidan cursed, "Kisame you lucky dog! Getting the seat right next to the scared chick."

They all just tossed me a pillow to hide my eyes behind and started the movie.

I wanted to laugh. I remembered how realistic the movies at home had been but in cartoon form they were simply… normal… stupid… weak in my opinion.

I actually laughed when the guy killed his girlfriend by throwing a pole through her chest.

I'd seen worse on Adult Swim.

By the end of the movie everyone was watching me with funny looks.

"You were LAUGHING at it? You said you weren't good with scary movies…"

I replied, "THAT wasn't scary!"

That earned me several funny looks. Tobi screamed, "I WANNA SLEEP WITH DEI-SEMPEI TONIGHT!"

I gagged slightly but kept a straight face.

I walked over to the DVD wall and read the titles. I gleamed.

"Can I pick another movie?"

Everyone looked confused and I grabbed one.

I looked at Kisame as I dove behind the couch.

Everyone was watching as I stuck my hand up over the back where that was all they could see. "Dun, Dun….."

I moved some and pulled my hand back.

I stuck it back up when I was closer, "Dun, Dun…"

My smirk was wider as I grew a few feet from Kisame.

"Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun… DUUUUN!"

I tackled him over from the back and screamed, "JAWS!"

Everyone laughed slightly and I sat back down in my place as it started.

Movie night was awesome.

I asked as it ended as well, "So what are we doing tomorrow?"

Deidara stated, "Tomorrow is training day, Hidori/Morgan."

I frowned, "It's what day?"

Pein answered, "Training day is when we all go out and spar until someone is declared the winner."

I awed at them and asked, "Can I watch?"

They all smirked, "Sure… since YOU'RE in the matches too."

I gulped. Oooooh booooy…

Chapter 16

I was startled to find myself awakened by a heavy weight to my torso, thus I screamed.

In a furry of covers and sheets and one pillow whoever was on top of me was thrown off and into the floor where upon I beat them with a broom I randomly found near the foot of my bed.

A hand shrouded in sheets lifted to deflect it and I ran out the door, down the hall, and into the kitchen all in my new pajamas.

I screamed, "SOMEONE ATTACKED ME!"

Everyone paused and stared at me.

Kakuzu, in his boxers, asked, "What the heck are you wearing?"

Itachi, in his bathrobe, sighed, "Tobi…"

Deidara, in his muscle shirt and boxers, sighed.

And so forth. I ignored Hidan and his wearing of the birthday suit.

I was wearing a spaghetti strap blue shirt with navy short shorts.

I breathed in a sigh of relief as Tobi stumbled in with the sheets still covering his line of vision.

"Morgan-chan? Where'd you go?"

I sighed and pulled the covers away and tossed them into the hall to be picked up later.

Dropping down, still in my bed cloths, I sat in an empty seat.

Sasori pushed a cup of juice in my direction and I glanced into it.

It was pushed it away, and my face slammed into the table.

Itachi states, "We have training day today. You need to be waking up and getting ready."

I frowned, "So how does this work exactly?"

I drank my orange juice as he began, "It's a lot like the child's game of hide and seek. The looser of paper, rock, scissors must wait until noon and then set out in search of a member. As soon as he finds them he must engage in a battle. Whoever wins that match moves on in search of the next member… and so forth until all the members have fought."

I nodded and placed the cup back on the table with a laugh. "So basically… it's a game?" I grinned, though I didn't know why, and state, "Then game on."

Oh how I would hate/love this game/training…

Hidan lost the paper-rock-scissors the most and was 'it'.

Itachi used his Sharingan, Deidara used his camera, Sasori used his cool head, Kisame was just fast with his hands, and Pein saw everyone's hands before they hardly even chose with his Rinnegan, Konan copied Pein, Zetsu was arguing but picked the right hand anyway, and Tobi's hand was somehow *cough* the first one down. *eye roll*

I just so happened to be lucky for once in my life and Hidan got stuck with the only scissors.

So at exactly 8 a.m. we all shot off into the woods.

My eyes scan the area before I stop, panting.

I smirk and lift my hands into the sign for bird.

I close my eyes and allow my chakra to do as it pleases.

The chakra spikes, instead of shooting from me like it did with the tiger sign, shot out like spikes and into ten different directions… phasing through trees and leaving ten perfect trails behind.

I frown then and glance around. Yay for paying attention in my brother's boy scouts~! I set up a knife trap with a sapling and hid in the uppermost branches of a tree in the middle.

My chakra spikes had spun and intertwined everywhere and I knew very well it would take quite the while for anyone to unravel them… seeing as my essence was marked into each and every trail.

I sigh and smirk. Yay for reading in my English class… that stupid book called 'The Most Dangerous Game" was coming in handy! I let the chakra trails continue through the woods until the sun was right above me.

I let the spikes sink into the earth… each a good ten/twenty miles or so from my hiding spot.

Time drug on until someone stepped over one of my trails to the east.

My only clue was the waver in chakra that alerted me of it.

I wasn't sure who but someone three miles from here had found it.

I could simply see them as they stood in the middle looking both ways.

A gulp leaves me as the person began in the right direction.

Without even realizing what I was doing my hands shot up and the chakra spun around like a toilet flushing so fast that my trace was everywhere at once and untraceable.

I took off like lightning through the trees. As I ran I let the chakra pin into the ground and leave another type of trail.

It took a long time of running… but soon enough I dropped down and waited to be found.

In the mist of my chakra everyone knew was there, I saw them all freeze in their spots and gape around.

My chakra had engulfed them all when I'd flushed it and now I knew where they all were.

One I considered either Itachi or Sasori pressed their back to a tree… Itachi then.

Zetsu was popping in and out of trees to see the chakra's range.

Tobi was doing the same but even they were confused as to my whereabouts.

The spikes I'd left released and the chakra shot out towards each person like a missile.

Itachi was the first to see the spike and jumped.

The others all did the same but now the chakra was even more messed up… like a marble cake or a spiral design.

My chakra, now gone, drained me enough so that I needed to quickly sit and lean back on a tree before I passed out.

The sun was setting as my chakra jutsu faded all the way and I was left utterly blind.

Tobi, Konan, Hidan, Kakuzu, Sasori, Zetsu, and Kisame were out. Pein was it.

I furrowed into the tree and relaxed.

Soon I heard the sounds of battle behind meat only a few miles of distance between us… Between Deidara and Pein.

It ended suddenly and Deidara was heard cussing over all the miles.

So Pein was still it and Itachi and I were left.

I smile and stand.

My chakra was still low but I had a good amount… enough to mess them both up pretty badly.

I lifted my hands and placed them on the ground.

A chakra spike as large as a monster truck appeared.

I laughed slightly and poofed up nine cloans of myself.

Each touched the stone and we all took off leaving behind a wild and unstable trail.

The first appeared in front of Pein.

He attacked and it exploded into spikes at him.

A tiny piece hit his cheek and I instantly knew his position.

The same happened with Itachi.

I then realized something… I was good at this… I knew all of these things… but how? How in the world did I know all of these things? I'd only been in Naruto three weeks at the most! This was weird… what was going on?

The thing is… I didn't really have all that much time to worry over this for just then Itachi and Pein met… the fight was on… and I was in the top two remaining… Who will win?

I grin in wait… my mystery can wait for later. This was far too… interesting…
