I got school tomorrow, and I DON'T WANNA GO! NUUUUUUU!

Tobi: Aaron-senpai, what's school?

Me: *sighs* School is this place where you have to learn stuff and junk for your 'future'.

Tobi: Tobi thinks that sounds fun!

Me: Trust me, it doesn't. Here's Chapter 19!

Rule 12: Have something to find solace in.

Aaron's POV

3 Hours Later

I couldn't sleep. It was midnight. So I got out of bed and walked to the kitchen. I made myself a glass of warm milk, but it did nothing to help me sleep. I decided to go outside and watch the stars. The entire Akatsuki base was big, and I mean big. It was about the size of the White House, if that's anything to go by. The kitchen was near the back. So I just kept walking and walking.

Normal POV

Aaron made it all to the door and got out. Little did he know, a certain blue-haired individual was watching him, and wondering what he was doing.

?'s POV (I'm sure you know who)

What is he doing? Why is he going outside? Maybe I should follow him. Ok, I'll see what he's doing. I followed him outside to see where he was going. He jumped up to the top of the hill, where a lone tree sat. I wonder what he's going to do.

Aaron's PV

I sat down by the only tree, looking up at the full moon and the stars.

"I wish I could sleep." I said. I just kept staring at the stars, thinking about life and such things.

"What are you doing?" A female voice called out. I jumped back a little and found Konan right next to me.

"Oh. I was just looking up at the stars, thinking." I told her.

"About what?" She asked.

"Life, how the universe revolves, our place in the natural order." I answered. She nodded. I started looking around.

"What are you looking for?" Konan asked me.

"A grass blade or a leaf." I said.

"Why that?"She asked.

"You'll see." I kept looking around. Despite the top of the hill being covered in short grass I was looking for the perfect blade. I decided to get a leaf from the tree. So I hopped on a branch and snagged a leaf from it. Then I hopped down.

"So why were you looking for that?" Konan questioned.

"Watch." I said. I put the leaf to my lips and began to blow. A melodious sound began to travel through air. Konan was amazed.

"What was that?" She asked when I finished.

"It's called grasswhistling."

"What's grasswhistling?" Konan asked.

"It's when you take a leaf or a blade of grass and blow on it, creating a musical sound."

"It sounded amazing."

"Well, when I was a kid, I first grasswhistled when I was still in school. It was weird, though, because I was the only one in my entire school who could do it. A lot of the time, people would gather around me when we had a break, and I would grasswhistle for them."

"Wow..."

"In fact, some people in my school thought I was of elvish descent."

"Elvish?"

"If someone's of elvish descent, they're an elf. Elves are people of fantasy. It's said that elves were regular humans who were born from the spirit of the forest."

"What does an elf look like?"

"An elf looks like a regular human, but normally with long hair, and they have long pointy ears. And they're also known for being very adept at grasswhistling, and could even make music from it." I said. She understood now.

"What's school?" Konan asked.

"Well," I told her that school is a place in that other universe where you have to go to learn things to have a better future, get a job, settle down, raise a family, then die a happy old person. She just kept blinking after I explained.

"Do you want me to grasswhistle some more?" I asked Konan.

"Sure." She said. I put the leaf up to my mouth once more and began to play.

Akatsuki minus Konan POV

Everyone walked out of their rooms sleepily. They had been woken up by some kind of music playing nearby.

"What the fuck's that?" Hidan asked angrily.

"I don't know. Let's go check it out, un." Deidara said. Everyone started walking towards the front door.

"Wait. Where's Konan?" Pein asked. Everyone shrugged.

"Aaron's gone as well. Where'd he go?" May asked after checking Aaron's room. Everyone but Rich, May, Pein, and Tobi started thinking, then all got nosebleeds from their thoughts. Pein started fuming, though. Rich saw his expression and said,

"Don't worry, Pein. He's not screwing Konan behind your back." Making May blush at the perverted thought.

"Your minions just have perverted minds." Everyone but May, Tobi and Pein started glaring at Rich.

"WE'RE NOT FUCKING MINIONS (UN)!" They all shouted.

"TOBI IS A GOOD BOY, SO HE'S NOT A MINION!" Tobi yelled.

"Whatever." Rich said, shrugging.

"Anyways, let's go see what that noise is." Pein said, making sure to glare at everyone to get them to shut the hell up. Everyone walked outside the base. They could hear the music coming from the top of the hill. So everyone started jumping up the side of the hill to the top. When they got up there, everyone was staring at Aaron sitting at the trunk of a tree, blowing into a leaf and making music, with Konan watching intently. (You should actually do this with a blade of grass. Look for Bermuda grass. It's the best type for it. If you want to learn how to grasswhistle (you can't actually make music with it. I just thought it would sound cool.) (well, I think you can't. Maybe if you combined differently pitched blows, you could), you can search it up on the internet. I suggest WikiHow.) When he finished, everyone was staring at him. The way he looked was simply indescribable. His tan skin glowed like candlelight in the pale moonbeams. His black hair was lit up by the stars above, glowing and shimmering like one of their kind. His blue-green eyes had a separate light to them, as though each eye had been split into two different colors. And the leaf he had played kept changing color: from green to yellow, from yellow to light green, from light green to teal, and back to green. It all looked ethereal, as if it was straight out of legend, like nothing they had ever seen before.

Aaron's POV

I finished. Everyone was staring at me.

"What?" I asked. They all seemed transfixed on me.

"What, is there something out of place?" I asked them. They kept staring.

"Well, I'm going back to bed." I told everyone. Then I hopped back down to the base and got in my bed.

Akatsuki POV

"OK, everyone saw how he looked, right?" Rich asked. Everyone nodded.

Well, that's Chapter 19! Since I start school in the morning, which is Thursday, I'll try to update by Saturday. That's gonna be my thing until the end of the school year. Since I have to get up at 6:00AM (WHY, JASHIN-SAMA? WHYYY?), because my schooltime starts at 7:30 (AGAIN, WHY?), I have to try to get some sleep. Kay'baka-chan, I've PMed you something important, and I hope you'll read it after this chapter. I thank you all for being patient. So I'll try to get Chapter 20 out by Saturday, but that's going to be a challenge for me. LUCKILY, since, as previously stated, my schooltime starts at 7:30, I get out at 2:30! YAY! So I think I might be able to get Chapter 20 in by the time the first two days are over for my schooltime. Thank you all.

Until next time,

*says unenthusiastically, and tiredly* Ja Ne. *a shower of puppies flies out* Okay, *yawn* who the hell forgot to make it a shower of rubber ducks? Aw, I don't care. I'm getting some sleep. Bye.
