Preface

"Push, Madame, push!"

Amiko Uchiha let a scream emit from her lips as she gave one last push. A minute later, she heard the cries of her newborn child from below her. Finally, she thought, finally she had a son that would do great things in her life. A strong baby boy.

Mustering enough strength to lift her head up, Amiko asked, "Where is my babyboy? Bring him to me."

No one answered her, but nurses helped her sit up straight and dabbed her forehead of sweat.

"Where is my son?" she demanded once more looking around, but the child was nowhere to be found. Neither was the midwife or any of the doctors.

"Our child is being examined by the doctors."

Amiko glanced in the direction of the voice and frowned. It was the voice of Prince Afonos Takimoto Dragomir. The would-be King of the infamous Takimoto clan, one of the fiercest and diverse clans within the Ninja World. But more importantly, Amiko's husband through arranged marriage. She had no feelings for the man at all, no matter how much wealth and power he came with. The only reason why she was with him was to have a son.

Amiko sneered as she lit up a cigarette, "What's wrong with our son, eh? Did I not marry you to breed one of the finest warriors seen? Surely the lad is strong enough, being out of your loins, Husband."

The Prince sighed, "While that is true, there still could be complications with the birth no matter how strong the parents are."

She let out a puff and looked at Afonos up and down, "Are you trying to say there is something wrong with the baby?"

Afonos nodded, "There is. The baby was born… small."

"Is he a dwarf?"

"No, what I meant by small was that, it… it has the Dragomir gene."

Blowing rings of smoke, the Uchiha shrugged, "That means he'll be a greater warrior."

Afonos hesitated, "There is one other thing."

"And what would that be? Was he born with two heads? Four arms, one leg?"

The Prince was about to reply when a young boy ran into the room followed by his mother and 3 year old brother.

"Uncle Afonos! Is our baby cousin ready to be held? Is she? Is she?" a very young Itachi Uchiha grabbed his uncle's hand and pulled.

Amiko choked on her cigarette smoke, "What does he mean by she."

Mikoto Uchiha looked surprised as she picked up Itachi's younger brother, Sasuke from the ground, "You did not know that your child was a girl? A very pretty one she is too. Small though. I'm sure she'll grow out of it." Seeing the angry look on Amiko's face, she twitched, "I know you were expecting a son, but perhaps there is a different fate in mind."

The Takimoto Prince bite his lip hard as he felt his wife's glare burn into him. The cold-hearted woman looked away, "Everybody except by idiotic husband, leave. Now."

Chapter One

Befriending the Lord of the Flies

"There's no where you can hide, Uchiha!"

Ayumee stiffened inside the shadows of an abandoned cave as she turned down her chakra. Shit, shit, shit, she thought. There was a criminal assassins guild out for her head; Literally. A month ago, she had met with the Leader of the guild. He had tried to make a deal with her to join his guild. After he had made extremely sexual passes at her, she beheaded him, stuck the dismembered head on a stake and ever so kindly stuck it outside of the hideout. This, of course, was not a very good way to make friends, and so, the new elected Leader was after her with a vengeance.

"I'm going to find you and do to you what you did to our former Leader!"

He was getting closer. Shit, she thought again, she had to kill him and fast. Carefully squatting on her legs, she shifted over to the opening to the cave and peeked out. The idiot was waving his sword around in the air with his back to her. She retreated back into the cave, stood up and made a brave hop into the opening. As quietly as she could, she grabbed an arrow from her quiver and positioned it on the bow, aiming it straight for the heart of the assassin with perfect form.

Raising her arms and elevating her chest, she called him out, "Hey big boy. You're pretty pathetic for an assassin."

He turned around and sneered at her, "You. You're going to pay for what you did."

She cocked an eyebrow, "You talk a lot for someone who wants to kill me. Get it over with."

With a yell, he charged at her. He was fast, but not fast enough. As soon as he lifted a foot, Ayumee let go of the arrow. It travelled with precision and speed before claiming its home inside the no-longer beating heart of the crappy assassin.

She squatted over the dead body and began searching it. Jack-pot, the idiot had loads of money on him, around 45650 yen, he also had a nice dagger on him, probably forged by the elves in southern Sunagakure. She rummaged for anything else, but only found a wallet. Thinking there would be more money, she opened it. What she found was not money, but a family picture. The family picture was of the assassin posing with his wife and a new born child.

Ayumee sighed whilst collapsing on her butt. She murdered a father. She shook her head and stood up, no time for feeling remorse for the already dead. The wife would morn and the child would grow up without a father, but they would survive. She stuffed the stolen belongings in her shoulder bag and put the hood up on her cloak. She now had enough money to find a hotel with a bed and a warm shower. Now to find a town.

She set off to find a town when she felt a spike of powerful chakra up in the tall trees. She hopped in front of one out of view and turned her chakra down once more and tore an arrow from her quiver setting it up with her bow. The chakra was 5 feet behind her. She lifted the bow.

"Don't shoot, Ayumee-san."

She lowered the bow with a slightly open surprised mouth.

"Who are you and what do you want?" She hissed.

"My name is Pein. I'm the Leader of the Akatsuki. I'm only interested in speaking to you."

She held her breath and froze. The Akatsuki? That was the name of the organization Itachi was in.

"Can you please come out so I can see you?"

Ayumee pressed her lip in a tight line, "Turn off your Chakra and unarm yourself if you have any weapons on you. Then, I'll come out."

After a minute, she felt the chakra disappear. Taking a deep breath she stepped out in the clearing and lowered her hood.

"Unarmed and chakra off, like promised." She held his arms wide and did a little bow.

"What do you want, Pein of the Akatsuki."

He smirked while walking around, "What all the other criminals want. You on our side." Ayumee narrowed her eyes. Lifting her bow, aiming it at Pein, the Leader laughed, "Oh please, my dear, like it wasn't obvious. I saw what you did with both of the assassin," he kicked the dead body, "Or rather, my spies did. Pretty amazing for a seventeen year old. But, I'm sure being a marksman isn't the only thing you're good at."

Ayumee snarled at Pein, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Pain laughed once again, "Oh, I know you know, Princess Dragomir. Being a future Elder of the Takimoto clan, and particularly an Elder of the Fire Users, you would be an incredible asset to the Akatsuki."

Ayumee didn't say anything but held her stance.

"I hear your control for lightening has come in quite nicely. Quite a rare power too, only found, I hear, in the Dragomir gene-."

"Stop it."

Pein didn't listen, "Which both you and your father both have. I knew your father-"

"Stop. It."

He continued, "I know your cousin too, all thr-"

"If you're trying to get me to join your organization, you're doing a shit job of it." Ayumee fumed, "I don't have time for you telling me things that I already know! Yes, I'm supposed to be an Elder. Yes, I know I have that god-damned Dragomir Gene. And lovely that you remind me I have cousins from Amiko's side of the family, because I really didn't know that," she stuck a foot out as she bowed, "thank you for the pointless information. I bid you adieu." She turned on her heal and began walking the opposite direction.

"I could give you something you've always wanted."

Ayumee laughed cruelly turning back around, "Oh yeah? What would that be?"

"Revenge on those who did you wrong in the past."

Any smirk on the girls' face faded, "I can get that on my own easily."

"By what, killing them like you did that chump?" Pein gestured to the dead body, "You're a great marksman, but killing your enemies swiftly is so old. Why don't you get them where it really hurts?" he pointed to his head, "Psychologically," he pointed to his heart, "and Emotionally. Much better than sending them to a quick grave. "

"And explain to me how I would achieve that by joining your organization." Ayumee leaned against a nearby tree, arms crossed.

Pein gave a sick smile that sent chills up the Uchiha's spine, "World Domination, of course."

Ayumee remained quiet for a few seconds before bursting out in a belly laugh. Pein's smile died away, "Oh yeah, that is such an achievable goal. You know, I just realized something," she checked her non-existent watch, "I have a date with a warm bed and a hot shower. You know, it's a normal shower but with me in it. So,again, toodaloo~."

When she turned around, suddenly, Pein was in front of her, "I have one other thing I can offer you." He backed her up against the nearest tree, "It's something you've always wanted." Ayumee groaned and rolled her eyes, "I really don't have time for this,"

"You don't have time for a permanent home? A permanent warm bed and shower? You don't have time for people who could possibly know what you're feeling and can teach you to become stronger both emotionally and physically? More importantly, you're going to pass up the opportunity to see your cousin?"

The marksman locked eyes with the Leader, mouth slightly open. There was silence between them for many seconds. Finally, Pein opened his clouded pattern cloak to retrieve a card. "Here. This is my number. Call it if you want to seal the deal, "He stepped away, "It was a pleasure to finally meet you, Ayumee Uchiha. I look forward to seeing you again." And with that, the Leader of the Akatsuki disappeared within a puff of smoke.
