The Demon's Companion
Akuma's Diary- 1st Entry
274th day of the 389th year R.S. disappeared
I never thought that I would be one to write things down in a diary/journal but after a while of just staring at the ceiling in your cell, you get bored. Add to the fact that I was under that damn Mangekyo Sharingan half the time, yeah I needed a therapist to just let it all out or I'd end up going even more insane. So here I am writing in a little book that probably won't be read by anyone but myself.
I'm not sure how to do this but my name is Akuma. No family name as far as I know, but then again I wasn't really born I was made. I've been a captive for Akatsuki for about two weeks now. That blasted 'idiot' Tobi is controlling me with his Sharingan. As far as I know, no one else in this godforsaken place knows he's the mastermind behind all this shit. Oh and I'm a neko demon, just to clarify. So if I sound like I hate the ninja, then you're probably right.
I got into this situation by being stupid. And after a few centuries you'd think I'd learn. But no... See I was sleeping in a tree in the middle of Hi no Kuni just minding my own business. And the worse thing about sleeping in trees was people coming up behind you and kidnapping or stealing from you. It was even worse for a ninja to sneak up on you. For a demon like me this was even worse. Ninja always wanted me to do things for them. Namely killing and destroying. Those too idiotic, who sought me out, ended up dead. Which is why I slept in caves. They kept a demon hidden. I only slept out in the open when I was dead tired. Which just so happened to be the night I was taken by a freaking Uchiha and a fishy half- Hanyou from Kiri.
As you can tell I'm still pissed about the whole thing.
I can probably put in some of my thoughts on the matter and now that I'm calmed down from my earlier 'tantrum' I can use a bit of magic to help me write what exactly happened from my own perspective since Kami knows I'm not going anywhere near one of those godforsaken ninja.
And they say demons are the one with problems. Feh!
My body curled around the tree happily as the last of my wounds faded from an earlier fight. Damn 'immortals' were a pain in the ass. Anyways, I was sleeping peacefully, dreaming of ramen and dango, when I felt myself being bound. I jerked away only to be shoved into a bag and sealed inside. I yelped and growled at my captives.
"Mission accomplished." A dark voice chuckled. "You know I thought she'd be harder to capture."
"Hn."
"You fucking morons!" I screeched. "Let me go!"
"Seems the fight with Hidan and Kakuzu caught up to her." Another voice said. I continued to screech and yowl.
"You fucking shitheads! I'll slaughter you!" I started to writhe. "Worthless sacks of bones!"
"She sounds like Hidan." The deeper voice chuckled.
"Hn. We don't have all night." I pinpointed exactly where they were. Someone picked me up before I could kick one of them.
"Stop squirming." The deeper voice growled.
"Fuck you!" I screamed hitting his head.
"Kisame." The other ordered. A sharp hit to my head knocked me out. Did I mention I hated ninja's?
When I woke up I was being carried in a man's arms. Cloth was still wrapped around me making it hard to see. I could hear footsteps echoing so that meant I was underground. I stayed quiet, playing possum.
After a few boring minutes we stopped. Someone knocked on a door. Wow, a wooden door underground. Might me a base, but that did nothing to help me figure out where I was.
"Come in!" My eyes widened. I knew that voice. "I see you were successful. Kisame, take the seals off." So that's why I couldn't get out of this damn thing. I was placed on the ground gently. "Itachi, Kisame be on your guard."
"Yes, Leader-sama." I stayed still for a while before my finger twitched and I felt the bag rip slightly. In an instant I was shredding the bag and on my feet in a defensive crouch low to the ground. I growled.
"What the fuck did I ever do to you Nagato?" I snarled glaring at the one person I really didn't like.
"I wouldn't have done it unless it was necessary." My eyes narrowed as we glared at each other. Briefly I was wondering if the look on his face would kill me if I wasn't immortal. I quickly tossed that aside as just being stupid. "It's horrible to see you again Akuma."
"That's fucking understatement." I snorted, "Not like I could kill you unless you were really in front of me. So what do you want with me anyways? I was busy before you dragged me here."
"I need to call in my favor." I arched an eyebrow. Well I certainly wasn't expecting this. I wasn't an idiot to the troubles of the human race since I did live in their world but since I was a demon, I rarely paid any attention to their squabbles. At least, unless it had something to do with the Bijuu; those guys were fun and really knew how to bring the destruction.
My eye moved to the side so I could see my kidnappers. The bigger one was a blue fish man with a big sword behind his back, probably from Kiri if the headband spoke true. And the man beside him was probably the infamous Uchiha Itachi. I could handle them, well if I was at full strength anyway. My eye flit back to Nagato.
"Nice lackeys. Where'd you find them?"
"They won't attack unless you do."
"You do know I don't give a shit right?" But I slowly straightened into a cat-like crouch as my ears, tail and aura faded. My canines were still visible along with the slit in my eyes that would forever mark me as a neko demon. "May I ask why you didn't just say this was business you pansy-assed bastard?"
"You wouldn't have come if I asked nicely."
"Well the world may never know now." I replied dryly.
"Same Akuma."
"Same bastard. Although you are getting up there in the years, what are you thirty? Forty?" He ignored my questions and jumped straight to why I was here.
"I need your help capturing the Tailed Beasts." I blinked waiting for more. He stared at me as I realized that was all he needed help with. And wasn't that ironic.
"You want my help, to capture the Jinchuuriki?" I asked disbelievingly. He nodded. I started to laugh. I mean full blown laughter with hysteria and actual amusement, god I haven't laughed like this in so long. Now I remember why I liked this particular human.
"Something amusing?" Kisame asked. I snorted pulling in my laughs.
"Are you fucking joking? I can't go near those guys anymore." I chuckled. "Why do you want them anyway? The Bijuu are sealed in their hosts, they can't do anything from where they are now." Nagato nodded.
"Exactly." I tilted my head as I stared at Nagato.
"You want them… for what reason exactly?" I asked softly.
"That's none of your business." Nagato replied swiftly and curtly. "I need the Bijuu to help me bring about peace." I didn't move as I stared into those purple rippling eyes. Why would Nagato want something that had shifted into massive piles of hate and anger over the years? I'd seen the last time the Bijuu had been free and they were not happy campers. Hell I wouldn't be if I was confined to years upon years watching someone else's life like it was a movie or something.
But why bring them out? It wouldn't do anything unless he was planning on giving them new hosts. But even then it would take years since he'd have to train, raise, and build a Jinchuuriki army. Kurama couldn't go into anyone other than an Uzumaki with large chakra reserves and Nagato didn't cut it since he used so much on just his Paths of Pain. Neither did the rest of the Akatsuki since they were too old.
Unless he had a container already. But the only thing that could hold the Bijuu was…
My eyes widened a fraction before narrowing into slits as I hissed out,
"That damn Gedo Statue." Nagato nodded not surprised that I had worked it out. "Why do you have that?" I snarled as the hairs on my body rose. If my ears were out I can guarantee that it would have been laid flat against my head while my tail puffed up to twice its size.
"To help me create peace."
"Peace?" I snarled. "That thing will create nothing but destruction. It was put down for a reason! Rikodu-sensei-" I stopped as my fury and fear were just too great. "Do you know what that thing will cause?"
"It will help me in my plans to create peace. I know what I am doing and I know the consequences. I will destroy all the bad and negative things in this world. And once that is done I will become a god." Sounded like he'd become quite good at that speech.
"No," I stood straight as I stared into his eyes. "I will not help you capture the Jinchuuriki. You may ask any other favor of me but should it have anything to do with the Bijuu or your insane plan, I will not do it."
"I wasn't under the impression that you did not take back any favors. Nor were you to refuse."
"There's a clause in the contract when it comes to it." Nagato stood up.
"Then you leave me no choice. I need those Jinchuuriki and having you on my side will help. Itachi, Kisame, you may leave." I tried to run once the door was open. And I actually did manage to slip out the door. "Get her!" I heard Nagato order right before I slid around a corner.
I bounded through the confusing hallways slipping back into my Cat form as I did so. My ears picked up the sounds of footsteps running after me and yells from others as I ran passed them. None of my hearing could help unless I found a door though, and fast. The Uchiha was gaining on me. I slid around another corner only to see a man materialize in front of me in a whirl of black. Another Sharingan user, shoulda known the Uchiha wouldn't just die so easily.
"And just where do you think you're going?" His deep voice drawled. I didn't hesitate to launch myself at him. My one big mistake was looking into the eyehole of his orange mask.
I gasped and screamed as my mind was turned back to the first hundred years of my life. The most scarring and brutal by far.
'You are now under my control. Your mind will stay locked in this hell while your body does as I tell it. You'd better get used to the scenery Akuma.'
All around me red and black blended into the smoke and ash of my 'homeland' as demons all rose and started to fight one another in order to live. I screamed as the hell around me commenced for eternity.
I'm still wincing at that memory. It doesn't help that whenever they need my 'services' I have to go back to that hell. I can still feel and see what my body does of course, but I can't really do anything about it. And with my mental capacities, I'm able to see the hell of my past and what the Akatsuki have me do.
So far I've helped them capture Isobu the Sanbi. And wasn't that an experience?
So far they haven't extracted him or put him back in the Juubi's husk yet. But I know the time is approaching. And when that time comes I just know that I'm going to rot in Hell forever.
It's a rule that we Animal Demons have you see. We can't tip the balance of the world or the punishment will be severe. Never mind that I'm doing this against my will. The fact that I owe Nagato a favor, that is against the rules to. Out of the five rules that we have, I managed to break two of them all within the same century. I am so getting the ultimate punishment for this. I'm just glad that Kai isn't awake or he'd really kill me.
