Not Your Ordinary High School

Karasu's (Menma's) P.O.V.

Silently I slid into an empty seat next to Gaara, placing my tray of gelatinous mystery meat in front of me. Gaara glanced at me for a second before continuing to prod at the weird gelatin and sighing slightly.

"I figured they would have learned their lesson by now, but it looks like ill have to hack the shipping and order logs again for some edible food." I glanced at him curiously.

"Again?" He nodded at my question before pushing the substance to the side and pulling out a small laptop.

"We had steak, chicken, and hamburgers for a whole month." He smirked lightly with pride before typing commands into the device. I shook my head.

"By the way Gaara about your little name stunt..." I punched him in the shoulder and he recoiled with a grunt. "That's for being an idiot and giving me a stupid name." I gritted my teeth and forced a smile with my tone hushed.

"Right... guess I deserved that one. You know for such a scrawny kid you sure can punch hard." He grumbled while rubbing his shoulder. "And besides, you didn't leave me any alternative choice. I think it fits you."

"Tch, whatever..." I crossed my arms behind my head and leaned back slightly annoyed. My gaze traveled over the expanse of the cafeteria catching the many pairs of eyes that were failing to hide their interested expressions. "Why is everyone staring at us, its annoying." I growled a bit at no one in particular. Gaara didn't even look up from his computer while answering.

"Well, a new kid shows up mid-semester and manages to piss off the toughest group in SEH, then struts in and sits with the socially awkward insomniac with a bad temper... Its not exactly something that happens everyday."

I nodded passively accepting the answer and looking over at the Akatsuki table. It was time to get names straight.

"So give me the details on them. Names, strengths, weaknesses if you got em'." Every once in a while I would catch someone looking this way, even with just a quick flick of the eyes, I saw it.

" Their leader, the guy with piercings, goes by Pein. I don't know a lot about the guy. The same with the odd green one, Zetsu, and the idiot with the mask, Tobi-" I cut him off, irked at the fact that there are three people I now know nothing about other than a name.

"That doesn't exactly help me much Gaara, your supposed to be my info guy." He shrugged.

"Its not my fault they are almost as much of a ghost as you. No records anywhere online. Like they were deleted, erased from history, and i don't doubt that they were. I only know who they are from orientation in class and the color co'ordination." I grunted a little but let him continue.

"The guy with red eyes is Itachi Uchiha, his little brother Sasuke Uchiha is a current member of a four man crew called Taka and former member of Konoha crew over there." I glanced over at the two tables made up of Konoha and Taka. The young Uchiha did nothing to hide the stare in my direction. Konoha was made up of quite a few guys, including one loud laughing blond kid with bright blue eyes. "The Uchiha name used to be famous for their participation in the police force, however a few years ago the whole of the Uchiha clan was massacred. The only survivors were Itachi and Sasuke, and you can guess who the culprit of the murder was, though the case went cold even with all the evidence piling against him."

"Damn, murdering his own flesh and blood. That's cold." 'not that I'm one to judge, seeing as my main goal is to rid the world of my father...'

"His partner is Kisame Hoshigaki, the other odd one that resembles a shark, was a member of the Seven deadly Swordsmen."
