HEY GUUUUUUUUYS! I just want to send a thank you out to The-Music-Loving-Anime-tard. THANK YOU SO MUCHNESS! Why am I thanking her? Go read her new story; "Reality or Insanity?" and then you'll know why. So, here's a birthday present from me, to The-Music-Loving-Anime-tard!

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Crysta.

Rae's P.O.V.

I sighed as I waited for Pein to get back to me. Konan and Pein walked out of their "conference room" and looked at all of the others auditioning. Don't worry, I thought WTFH at first, too. I waited for them to call me in to either welcome me, or kill me. Thank Jashin I was immortal.

"Rae Uzumaki, will you come with us?" Pein called. I stood and followed them in. I stood in the middle of the room. In a single shaft of light, in front of the rest of the Akatsuki. I stood bravely in the light, waiting for my fate to befall me. I'd fight my way out and Jashin would have nine new sacrifices. Sure, their Jashinist would bitch me out, then I'd sacrifice him, too.

"Rae Uzumaki, welcome to the Akatsuki." Pein-sama said. I bowed. "Thank you, Leader-sama." I said. Konan handed me my cloak. Pein, Konan and all other Akatsuki members filed into the other room and screams of terror commenced. I noticed one lone member stood in the room. One any Uzumaki would know. One I knew well.

"Uchiha." I greeted. "Uzumaki." He said. "What do you want?" I snapped. "Your going to regret joining." He said. "And your going to regret leaving me. We'll be even." I said and sliding into the cloak. Itachi put his hands on my hips and brought himself closer to me. His lips were inches away from my ear. My heartbeat sped up and I froze. His warm breath ran down my neck. He chuckled.

"How can you take your revenge on me, when you can't even fight your own feelings for me?" He asked. I giggled. "Now that's truly funny. You think I still have feelings for you. Ha! What a laugh." I said. I turned and looked him in the eyes. He was close perfect. "You thought I had feelings for you, now I know, you still feel for me, and I'm going to use that against you." I said. He smirked a little. "You'll come around." He said. I smirked back. "Not this time." I said and pressed my lips and gave him the last kiss he'd ever get from me.

"Not this time."

Boom! Yup! It's a to be continued! And probably a double love story. But, it's a main focus is Kakuzu's love story, not Rae's if that's not clear. Well, see ya' in a bit!
