Hidan sat down on the now empty of Deidara and Sasori table with his steaming cup of coffee, muttering that it was too early in the morning. I had sent out Pein to go get food and he came back with not only the coffee, but the love of my life, Lucky Charms and a bunch of other crap I didn't pay attention to.

Pouring the cereal and humming happily, I poured the milk that was not sour (my milk had freaking brown fuzz on it. I almost died) I clanked down next to Kakuzu and started chomping on my delicious treats. It was relatively quiet for four in the morning, and I was happy. My calm time was in the morning, just when I wake up and if someone disturbed it, I would be utterly pissed.

The main reason it was so quiet is because I made Deidara, Kakuzu, Tobi and Kisame go out to buy a really, really big piece of paper, some magic markers, and whatever else they could find that looked cool. Deidara was screaming at me for some time that the store wouldn't even be open, but I sent him anyways.

I dipped my spoon in the bowl again only to find it empty. Pouting, it took all of my willpower not to go and get another bowl. It was already 4:15, and I had to get ready for my first day of 11th and 12th grade. Putting the bowl in the sink and filling it with water (in seventh grade I learned that if you didn't put water in a bowl that had milk in it, the bowl would get rings that DON'T wash off) and headed towards the bathroom.

Shutting the door and grabbing a towel that was surprisingly clean, I turned on the heat and sighed as the stress washed off me. Scrubbing my hair and body clean, I turned off the water and rung my hair of any water. As I was drying off my body, I thought of how nine boys and one girl sharing one bathroom was going to work out.

Quickly sliding over to my room and locking the door, I picked out my best outfit. Skinny jeans with a dressy shirt and maybe a necklace or bracelet. The shirt I picked out had elegant green, brown, silver and gold splotches on a grey background. Slipping on my underwear, then the shirt, I quickly jumped into my pants (literally. Skinnys are so hard to put on in the morning) and waddled over to my dresser. Pulling open on of my drawers, I dug through some of the crap and quickly found my little black box. I call it the Forbidden Cube.

Gently opening the lacy top, I smiled softly as all of my jewelry shinned in the soft light of the morning. Picking through each and every necklace, bracelet and ring, I found my silver locket and laced it around my neck, fastening it on. Nodding approval at my outfit in the body length mirror that was propped up against the wall next to my closet, I ran back to my bathroom.

In the middle of my hair drying, I heard my alarm clock shrilly yelling at me that it was five o'clock (the time that I was SUPPOSED to wake up at). Letting my half-way dry hair flop down to my back I dug through my makeup for my eye shadow. Quickly uncovering the slight bronze color that I had been looking for I started to lightly brush it on my eyelid. Finding an earthy green color, I mixed it with a dark olive color and brushed that along my eyelash line. Applying some mascara and chap stick, I looked myself over, hoping I didn't put too much on.

Now, don't look at me like that.

Today's the first day of school. I have to look my best. Don't worry though, in the middle of the year, you'll find me wearing sweats and hoodies.

Stepping out of the stuffy bathroom after applying a fair amount of deodorant, I made my way to Hidan who was still sipping his coffee. Only thing different was that he was dressed in jeans and a nicer shirt, and he had an iPod plugged in his ears. Coming to sit in front of him, I plopped down and sighed. It was only 5:30, and I had to take a public bus for ten minutes to school. It would only be five if there weren't so many other stops.

Just as I sat down, Hidan glanced up and immediately stood up, pulling out his ear plugs along the way. His chair clattered to the floor and his eyes were as round as saucers. I looked at him for a moment, and asked, "What? Too much eye shadow?"

"…You are so 'effin hot."

Taken aback I starred at him. "What did you just say?" I asked, completely baffled.

"You. Are. Hot."

Becoming a bit scared at the crazed look in his eye, I stood up and backed away from the table. Sure, I could take him on, but I knew I would lose in the end. And he seemed to know that to. He jumped, JUMPED over the table and landed right in front of me. Scuttling backwards against the countertop, I grabbed blindly for a weapon. Hidan was cornering me now and looking down at my weapon of choice, I groaned. Wonderful. I got a freaking spoon. Poking the white man in the nose, I started yelling hysterically. FINALLY Pein, Sasori and Itachi came rushing into the room.

As soon as they entered the room, Pein screamed, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" They ran towards us, and you would think that it would take three guys to tear the sadistic man away away, but all it took was Sasori slapping the tan man silly.

Blinking like he was waking up, the man rubbed his check and looked down at my cowering form. "…Sorry," he said timidly.

Now I got a little pissed.

I jabbed Hidan in the chest, my eyes ablaze.

"DO YOU THINK SORRY'S GONNA CUT IT? I ALMOST GOT RAPED IN MY OWN HOME!" I screamed. Wanting to rip my hair out of frustration, I shoved the dumbfounded man out of the way, stopped at my front door, grabbed my messenger bag, my gladiators and jacket, and slammed the door on the way out. They could catch their own damn bus.

…Sometimes I swear I have anger problems.

000000

Swinging onto the bus, I put in 50 cents and made my way to the seat behind the driver seeing as no other seats were available. Zoning out the boring adults around me, I started checking my bag. I had my phone in there from last year (only staff members at the camp were aloud to have phones), my iPod shuffle which I barely use, a moldy granola bar and some of my old papers with written messages on them.

Stuffing everything back into the bag as the flashy sign told us the stop we were at; I got up and said my goodbyes to the bus driver. Making my way along the sidewalk that was cracked in many places, I inhaled the early morning air. It was about 5:50 now, plenty of time to get to school and get to my homeroom before the bell.

After traveling a couple of minutes and taking lots of short cuts (on my first day of high school, I was late an hour because I didn't know my way to it. From then on, I practiced getting there every day, weekend or weekday. It turned out there were over five ways to get there in ten minutes) I was in front of the friendly archways that greeted me to Ninoha High School. Apparently there was a village named Konoha around here and it had ninjas in it, so they mixed ninja and the villages name together.

Pretty tacky, but hey, I didn't live in ninja times. I didn't fight nine hot men in robes to save someone that was hot for my gay crush. Also, I did not have an amazing chakra supply and had a perverted mentor.

…

Anyways.

Jumping up the first step, I glanced upwards to appreciate the structure. It was a nice tall building, three levels, with huge windows on every floor. The brick was a friendly warm brown and added a nice olden touch the high tech school. Most of my favorite memories were here from beating up this one chick to making friends with the Rouge Girls.

Taking the last three stairs, I expertly weaved myself in the crowd of people. Even though I'm just an eleventh grader, I still felt like I was at the top of the food chain. Grinning as I saw some of my younger friends, I waved and continued onwards. For once, I didn't feel like a delinquent. I had tons of friends, good grades and the maturity of an adult. I could face this world head on.

"SAKURA! WHY DID YOU LEAVE WITHOUT US?"

Maybe not… head on.

Sighing, I turned to the orange swirl. Well, not swirl. Half of a face, seeing as he had his eye patch on today. Patting the boy on the head, I smiled painfully.

"Tobi, Hidan was being a very bad boy. Don't be a bad boy, okay?" I cooed. His one red eye got red and shinny and he started wailing that he would never be a bad boy. Soon after everyone stopped starring at us, six of my favorite guys came up to me.

"Yo." Said Hidan and I just glared at him for a moment. He coughed awkwardly and the bell rang above us.

"Don't wanna be late." I said sourly, spinning away from the group and stomping towards my locker. It was right next to the teachers lounge because, well, they thought that if they kept me close to them I wouldn't make so much trouble. They were so sadly mistaken.

As I traveled through the crowds of kids, I felt eyes on me. Turning, I spotted Hidan slowly making his way towards me. I opened my mouth to tell him off but he just… hugged me.

THE Hidan.

Hugged me.

"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have acted like that…" He muttered in my ear. Not sure what to do, I let out a long sigh and brought up my arms to hug him back.

"You're right, you shouldn't. God, you scared me. Sadistic bastard." I told him back, rolling my eyes with a small smile on my lips.

I could almost hear him smirk and he pulled back, ruffling my hair. "Well we should going to that poop butt class. What's it effin called again?" He asked.

"Home room?"

"Yeah! I effin' hate that one. So boring."

"All we have to do is listen to the announcements…"

"Do you know how poopin' hard it is for me to NOT eff' those stupid effin' nerds up?"

"Point taken."

We giggled (his was maniler, I assure you) and walked down the hall, being as loud as we possibly could to make sure that the teachers would be annoyed.

School has successfully begun.
