Chapter One: Wh-who Are You?
"Leader-sama, shall we leave now?" A women spoke quietly. She wore a large blue paper flower, up in her short blue hair. Her amber eyes were expressionless and her face was serious but calm. She had on utramarine eye shadow and had a labret piercing. She wore a Akatsuki cloak and an Akatsuki ring on her right middle finger, along with orange, polished on her nails.
The man she spoke directly to, gave a brief nod. He had orange hair, his face was expressionless and his Rinnegan eyes were fierce. He wore a Akatsuki cloak.
"Has everyone evacuated from the base?" Questioned the oranged haired man.
"Yes," nodded the blue haired women, "Their all waiting outside for further directions." She answered.
"Let's head out." Ordered the orange haired man as he started to leave.
The blue haired women nodded in agreement and followed him along beside him.
They approached outside, where currently, all the other members were waiting.
"Damn! What took you two so long! I'm fucking cold!" Yelled a silvered haired man with medium length hair that slicked back, he had pinkish-purple eyes. He wore a open Akatsuki cloak just as everyone else, but didn't seem to be wearing any shirt. He wore a Jashin amulet around his neck. He carried a Triple-Bladed Scythe on his back. He had a irritated look on his face as he waited for a respond.
A man who was beside the silver haired man narrowed his green eyes towards him, "You'd be warmer if you wore a damn shirt." He said in a annoyed tone. The man was tall, dark skinned with stitches everywhere on his body, he wore a white hoodie and a black mask on his face with his eyes being the only visible part, as well as everyone else, he wore a Akatsuki cloak.
"What! Shut the fuck up, Kakuzu! I'll wear whatever I want! Fuck! I'll walk around naked for all I care!" Yelled the silver haired man as he prepared to strip out of his clothing. [AN: I would love that... xD]
"Enough you two! Stop arguing! And Hidan! That won't be necessary." Said the oranged haired man harshly while directing a deadly glare at each of them.
A chuckle was heard from across them.
"Hey! What the fuck are you laughing at?" Growled Hidan as his eyes darted to a blue skinned man who casually stood and laid against a tree.
He was tall, and had a distinctive shark-like apperence, with pale blue skin along with gill-like facial markings under his eyes and sharp triangular teeth which were in a toothy grin on his face. His hair was styled in a form of a shark fin. He had small, round eyes that were filled with amusement. He wore a Akatsuki cloak and had a sword on his back.
"I'm laughing at you." He said plainly as he stared eye to eye with the silver haired man.
"Nobody laughs at me! I'll fucking sacrifice you to Jashin! Bastard!" The silver man roared.
The blue skinned man instantly took out his sword in one swift move, "I'd like to see you try." Challenged the blue skinned man as he wore a smug look on his face.
"You asked for it, bitch!" Yelled the silver haired man as he aggressively took out his Triple -Bladed Scythe.
"Kisame."
"Hidan!"
Both voices said in unison.
"Kisame, stop." A calm voice ordered. The man possessed deadly, blood red eyes that soon turned into normal dark gray eyes who were giving a stern look at Kisame. He had dull black hair that hung near his cheeks and a long ponytail in the back of his hair.
"Aw, always gotta ruin my fun Itachi." Said Kisame with a small chuckle.
The other voice seemed to have come from Kakuzu who looked angered by Hidan's actions.
"Shut the hell up! You can't tell me what to do!" Argued Hidan who refused to back down from the battle, but on the other hand, Kisame walked back to his spot and obey Itachi's orders.
"Hidan." The oranged hair man said bitterly, giving the hint that he wanted him to shut up. His deadly glare intense as he waited for Hidan to follow orders.
"For once, follow Pein's orders." Said the blue haired women.
Hidan growled and shot a glare at her, the blue haired women returned it with a glare of her own.
"Stop glaring at Konan and shut up." Kakuzu said.
Hidan's head quickly turned to his direction and prepared to say something.
"Don't tell m-"
"STOP THE VIOLENCE! TOBI NO LIKE VIOLENCE!" Screeched a childish voice out of no where, causing nearly everyone to jump back, out of suprise.
The man wore a orange, swirl patterned mask that only revealed his right eye. He had short black hair and wore a Akatsuki cloak like everyone else.
"Be quiet, un!" A irriated voice said.
The man with light blue eyes. He had very long blond hair that was kept in a half ponytail and had a bang hanging over his left eye. He had a frown on his face and glared instensly at Tobi.
"Deidara is being mean to Tobi!" Whimpered Tobi.
Deidara simply rolled his eyes and looked away angrily.
"Can we get going now?" Said a dull voice.
The man or should I say puppet, had short red hair and wide brown eyes. He seemed irritated and you could easily tell he was getting impatient.
Suddenly, a man started to come out from the ground, "What's the hold up? You guys are taking to long." Said the man with two different voices, one sounded deeper.
The man had a plant-like appearance, he had two large venus flytrap-like extensions that enveloped his head and upper body. His extensions were open, causing it to show his face. He had short green hair, yellow eyes, and his body had two different colored halves , his left side is completely white and his right side is black.
"We were just heading out." Said Pein.
The plant man nodded and slowly went back into the ground.
"Okay, enough fooling around. Let's go." Ordered Pein, sternly.
Everyone nodded and soon started to gliding from tree to tree.
It was snowing ferociously outside, giving everyone a harder time to travel. The weather was intensly cold, causing the members to shiver constantly from time to time. The dense fog didn't seem to help anything, in fact, it made things worse. Well, what else would you expect from The Hidden Village Of The Snow? The Akatsuki had build a base there, in what seemed in the middle of nowhere. All you really saw was forests covered with snow, snow, fields of snow, and oh yeah, did I mention snow? It seemed to be the perfect place to hide out for awhile, but now it was time to head back to The Village Hidden In The Rain. You can bet the members were pretty happy about that, now they wouldn't have to suffer the harsh cold weather.
As they quickly glided threw the trees, Pein caught a glimpse of someone in the forest. He suddenly stopped, curious to find out what he saw.
"Why'd we stop?" Asked the puppet man, clearly annoyed that they were wasting more time.
"We're fucking lost, aren't we?" Said Hidan.
Pein didn't answer, instead, he got down from the tree and walked over to the direction he thought he saw someone.
"Leader-sama! Where are you going?" Question Konan with a concern in her voice, she soon got down from the tree branch and followed Pein, as well as everyone else.
They walked for a little bit and stopped when they came acoss this enormous tree, it's branches were so long and high that seemed that it could possibly give shade to a whole field. There was a swing attached to one of the branches, it seemed a bit beat up and looked pretty old. What surprised them the most was seeing what looked like a girl, laying against the tree, cuddled up against a wolf.
They quietly walked over to her, determined not to wake her up.
At first, it seemed that she laid on the ground insensible. But it became clear to them that she was simply sleeping.
They examined the girl closely, from a short distance away.
She had very long black hair that seemed it reached her hips. She was a bit short and looked really young. She laid against the tree hugging the wolf and using it as her pillow. The wolf started to become awake and aware of the Akatsuki's presence.
The wolf opened its eyes and immediately got up into a protected postion as soon as he saw the strangers. It's fur was dark brown and it's eyes were light green. It's eyes never left the Akatsuki's sight. A low growl was heard from the wolf. The girl seemed to be unaware of anything happening and stayed deep in sleep.
"I'll take care of this." Hidan said as he swiftly took out his scythe.
The wolf growled even harsher, as if warning Hidan to back away. Hidan hesitated and stopped.
"Tsk, stupid mutt." Muttered Hidan.
The wolf lowered his head and nudged the girl, attempting to wake her up.
"Hm?" Moaned the girl sleepily, still half asleep.
The wolf growled out of frustration. He lowered his head once more and roughly shook the girl.
"W-whoa!" The wolf shook her too roughly which caused the girl to sit up fast and fall back against the tree, her head immediately made contact with the tree, Bam! She clumsily hit the back of her head.
"Oww..." She moaned in pain while she rubbed the back of her head.
She soon opened her eyes and saw that she wasn't alone.
Her bright blue eyes widen in surprised.
The Akatsuki was circled around her, staring intensly at her. The girl seemed uncomfortable and quickly stared at the ground while chewing the bottom of her lip.
Konan seemed confused, for some reason, Pein seemed interested in this girl. [AN: Not in a romantic way, they are not gonna be paired up.. Just wanna let you know.. Hehe.]
The girl's stomach suddenly broke the silence and growled out of hunger. The Girl's face redden out of embarrassment.
"What are you doing out in the cold? Go home, foolish girl." Pein simply said and began to walk away, as well as everyone else but without taking another look at the girl.
"This is my home..." Whispered the girl softly.
Pein suddenly stopped. That seemed to catch his attention.
She was similar to him in some ways. This was similar to his childhood, but the only difference was that she was alone, beside having the wolf by her side, she was truly alone. She didn't have anyone else with her, just her and the wolf. Pein saw that Konan was thinking the same as well, Konan had a sad expression on her face. Pein couldn't help but feel pity for the girl.
Mai's P.O.V
I looked up slowly, and saw this oranged haired man looking at me with a pitiful expression on his face. 'He's feeling sorry for me' I thought. My angered soon started filling up inside me. I hated this. I hated people feeling sorry for me. It made me feel pathetic. I clutched my fists, hoping my anger would go away but it was no use.
"I know how it feels." The oranged haired man suddenly spoke, he took his hand out and simply said "Come with us.".
I stared at him shocked and slowly looked at his hand. I was surprised. Did he want to help me? No one had ever tried that before, well, actually, a few have tried, but I just simply rejected their offers. But in a way, this seemed different... I slowly took his hand without thinking and stood up, taking my hand away from his.
"W-who are you?" I said quietly.
"We're... The Akatsuki." The man simply said.
'The Akatsuki...' I thought.
