Name: Akira Yamada (known as Akira Fukui)

Age: 16 [Pein is 18 in the fanfic]

Universe: High School AU

Appearance: Same height as Deidara, ginger/chestnut hair which reach a little down her shoulders [but she is usually putting them in a ponytail], brown eyes, fair skin. Wears boyish clothes but can wear a girly outfit too.

Personality: Determined, caring, tough at most of the times, not too emotional, friendly, has good intentions for everything. She isn't smiling all the time but she can crack up a smile from time to time. [not stoic like Itachi]

Relationships (?): Gaara [best friend], Deidara [friend] and Sasuke [friend]. Small rivalry with Hidan and Kisame.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Oi! Akira-chan!" Akira turned to see Naruto waving for her to join his group. The group contained Gaara, Sasuke, Sakura, TenTen, Temari, and Kankuro.

Akira sighed and made her way towards them, "What's up?"

Gaara gestured to the empty seat next to him which Akira gladly took considering she just came from PE. It wouldn't be that bad if she didn't have Guy-sensei and Anko-sensei. They can be real slave drivers sometimes, "So what's going on?"

Sakura giggled happily and answered, "The Sweetheart Swirl is coming up this Saturday! Remember??"

Akira forced a smile, "O-oh? That's wonderful.. I do remember.." It was quite clear as to why Akira was speaking through her teeth and forcing her smile, at least it was clear to Gaara.

*Brrrrriiiiiinnnngggg*

"Yahoo!"

"Finally the weekend!"

"I can't wait for swirl!"

Akira sweatdropped at all the gushing and hollering that people were doing in the hallways of Konoha High, "Alright.. Well, let's head out Gaara. Deidara and Sasori are probably waiting for us with Pein and Kisame. You know how Sasori is about waiting though."

Gaara nodded with his usual stoic face and followed Akira out to the parking lot, "See you guys later!" She called out behind her while Gaara gave a simple wave goodbye.

"YOU BETTER COME TO SWIRL AKIRA-CHAN! WE'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU!" Sakura yelled as the two redheads walked out the doors.

Akira got a tick mark but ignored the stares she got after Sakura shouted at her.

"Are you going to ask him?" Gaara questioned as they began looking for Deidara and the rest of their group.

"What are you talking about?" Akira asked, playing dumb. She knew full well that she was talking abou-

"Pein. You know that." Gaara stated blankly.

Akira directed her attention on the cars that were leaving the parking lot, "I have no idea what you're talking about Gaara."

Gaara sighed quietly and shook his head, "You should."

Akira simply hm'ed before spotting their friends, "There they are!" Once Deidara spotted Akira and Gaara walking towards the vehicle, he could help but smile and wave.

"Let's go, hm?" Deidara asked with a smile.

With that, everyone piled into the van and they took off to Gaara's home. It was a bit of a long drive since he lives out of town but, it's worth it. Konoha High is much nicer than Suna High. On their drive, they played random little games, stopping at fast food joints, and playing loud music. Akira couldn't ask for more with her life.

Except.. Maybe for Pein to invite her to swirl. That'd be perfect. Just because she was tough didn't mean she couldn't have a crush on someone. She loved the way he thought for himself, the fact he wasn't rude about it. She loved how he rebelled with all of his piercings. He was an amazing leader and always broke up fights without hesitation, regardless of whether they were fighting for a good reason or not.

A huge thing she loved about him was how he turned his life around. He used to be the one always fighting, being extremely rude among other things. He and some of his close friends were orphaned long ago, so they tended to act up fairly often until last year, when Akira began spending time with them.

"Oi! Aki-chan.!"

Akira got a tick mark and turned to the culprit of the ridiculous nickname, Kisame and glared at him before replying, "What?"

Kisame glared at her for a moment but his usual smirk returned quickly, "What'd you get on the history test yesterday?"

Akira smirked, "97%."

Kisame's smirk widened, "98%."

Akira glared at him and turned her attention out the window as they drove closer to Gaara's home. The rest of the day passed very quickly once they arrived at Gaara's residence. For the most part, no one really did anything. Akira and her friends did what normal teenagers do; get home from school, eat, and just watch TV with friends.

Hour by hour passed this way, just chatting and relaxing. Eventually it became late, 10:30 pm.

Akira sighed and stood up, "I'll see you guys later, I gotta go home."

Everyone began saying their goodbyes until Pein stopped her at the door, "I'll take you home, Akira-chan. It's too late to be walking."

"Hm? It'll be fine! Besides, you don't have your car." Akira answered with a small smile. She was happy that Pein even made an offer. He's not one to socialize much nor offering anything like this.

Pein nodded, "I don't. Deidara said he'd lend me his since we're working on a project when I get back. It's part of our final since we're graduating early."

Akira sighed and nodded, "Alright, thank you."

Pein nodded again and they walked out the door to the car. As Akira expected though, there wasn't any socializing. It was simple silence. She didn't mind though. She wasn't much of a talker either, though she wasn't as silent as Sasori and Itachi typically are.

After a little while, Pein pulled up to Akira's house and parked the car.

"Arigato for the ride, Pein." Akira gave him a small smile and opened the car door. Before she could hop out though, Pein grabbed her wrist and handed her a white envelope.

"Hm? What's this about?" Akira asked with an eyebrow raised.

Pein shook his head, "Open it when you're inside. Goodnight Akira."

Akira nodded and got out. She waved goodbye to him as she walked up to her house, extremely curious as to what Pein would give her.

Once Akira was inside, Pein drove away; this left Akira all alone to open the envelope.

"Let's see.." Akira mumbled as she opened the envelope to see a beautiful light blue card with white snowflakes on it. She opened it up and was quite surprised with what it said.

Akira,

Would you like to go to Swirl with me?

-Pein

She smiled at the simple sentence. She wasn't surprised that Pein wrote very little, it's who he was. So, she quickly got her phone and sent him a simple reply in return.

Yes~
