Review, please!

A dark void surrounded her small body. All she could remember was the darkness that made her feel empty and alone. Where I am? What is this place? Am I dead? What happened? She felt a cool breeze on her face; she turned to look at a small at a small opening. The opening was barely visible to her eyes but she could see the faintest shine of light. She took a step closer to this mysterious light. She extended her arm and felt warmth surround her hand. The warmth made her feel amazing and safe from any danger. She stepped closer to get more of this wonderful heat until her whole body was covered in light. She heard a soft voice talk to her, it was a woman, and she sounded so familiar. She kept repeating the same thing I love you. I love you. I love you so much. I will always love you. Then another voice came, though it seemed younger. I miss you, don't forget me…

The woman suddenly opened her eyes and her body shot up from the floor. Her hands were shaking and strands of her dark-blue hair were stuck to her forehead because she had been sweating. She looked around and took a deep breath. "It was all just a dream", she said talking to nobody. "I should get moving..., I don´t want them to find me." She had been running from rogue ninjas that she accidently ran into in the previous town. She had stolen some money from them and they got pissed when they found out it was her.

She hid in a cave for the night because she was really tired and low on chakra. She had used too much of her Kekkei Genkai, and the side effects were kicking in. She put a small genjutsu with the little chakra she had left just in case. "Oh Kami, I'm so tired, what did I do to deserve this life?" Her life hasn't been the best as others. Her clan was killed by the Akatsuki because of our bloodline limit seemed dangerous to their plans and she let her best friend be taken away by the most dangerous man in the ninja world and didn't feel any remorse or guilt. She didn't even fight for him; from that point on she had been cold-hearted and cruel to everyone who tried getting in her way.

Sunlight hit her pale face causing her to wake up instantly. She sat up and fixed her hair into a ponytail and rubbed her eyes to try and fully wake up. She stood up and looked around her. The rouge ninja never found her. She yawned and set out for the next village, Sunagakure. She had heard that since it was allies with Konohagakure, it was the safest place to be for her. She couldn't stay long since she herself was a rogue ninja. "Well, I might as well get going…" She said with a lazy voice, to no one specifically. I have to stop talking to myself. She thought. She gathered the few things she carried around with her, which were her kunai, shuriken, paper bombs and some food pills. She never carried around food because it would always rot in her bag so she relied on hunting, fishing and picking fruits when she was far from a village.

A couple of hours of walking through a dense forest, she started to notice the thick forest slowly changing into a desert. The trees seemed to get smaller and the dirt turned into sand. She was a couple of hours away from her destination. She started to fasten her pace because she could sense a sand storm coming. She could feel the wind get a little stronger and the sand started to fly in the wind. She knew the storm was close, but on the other hand she could see Sunagakure. She untied the coat she wore around her waist and put it on to protect her face from the sand.

She felt something unusual around her feet, she sensed something or someone that was behind her; and it wasn't just one, there were two. She turned her head casually to confirm her sensations. I saw to figures, they were walking a mile away from her but she could still make out what they looked like. They were both wearing identical cloaks: Black with red clouds scattered around it with a red lining. She couldn't see one of them since his face was covered due to the bamboo hat he was wearing. The other had long, blonde hair that flowed down to his back; his bangs covered one of his eyes. She continued walking to Sunagakure, like she hadn't noticed them and soon realized something. Oh, Kami! I'm such an idiot! They belong to Akatsuki! But I don't remember them from that night. She soon remembered what she had forgotten all this time. She growled at the memory, she kept on walking thinking of a plan just in case if they attacked her.

"Hey Danna, un?" The blonde one said to his partner.

"What is it, Brat?" said the shorter one.

"Isn't that the girl Leader-sama said we were to find, un?" The blonde said pointing to the girl that was a mile in front of them.

"Yes, she should be. She fits the description Leader-sama gave us. I didn't expect her to be on her way to Sunagakure. This will make our mission much easier now." Sasori said without any interest. Their Leader had told them that they were to find a girl that would be essential for the organization, but he said that she would be difficult to find and he was right. The pair has been to Konohagakure and to Otogakure searching for the girl.

"She sure has a nice ass from this point of view, un" The blond said eyeing what he could see of her ass.

Hearing this, the shortest one of the two smacked the back of the other's head and yelled, "Shut up Brat! Stop being a pervert and be quiet for once in your life!" The other rubbed the back of his head and stayed quiet until they were a little closer to the girl.

The 2 men were now much closer to the girl and noticed that she was on to them. They were a couple of steps away from the girl when the blonde shouted, "Oi! Stop, hmm". The girl in front of them stopped but didn't turn around. "Turn around, un," Deidara ordered. "Why should I do as you say? I don't take orders from you, and less a transvestite." The girl in front on them snorted. The blonde was furious with the insult and was ready to beat her to a pulp, but the other glared at him and he knew that he should calm down. "Turn around now," The shortest said more demanding than the blonde. She turned around but they couldn't see her face since it was covered with the hood of her coat she was wearing. "Take off the hood," he said with the same demanding voice as the first time. She did as he said, surprisingly. When the hood was completely off, the two Akatsuki members were in complete shock.

The girl, more like woman, in front of them was gorgeous in their eyes. Her green eyes were a perfect match with her dark blue hair that reached the middle of her back. Her pale skin contrasted her hair wonderfully and her figure was flawless. They were speechless.

Neither of them has seen a woman so beautiful. The shortest decided to speak up and ask her some questions before they took her back to the base. "What's your name, girl?" Sasori said. "My name is Susamajii Tora," said the gorgeous woman in front of them. "We are from the organization called Akatsuki; our Leader has told us to recruit you." He said. "Really? what happens if I don't want to?" Tora said with a voice that was challenging the short man. "We'll kill you," He said with a threatening tone. Tora sighed and thought it over.

The two men were getting impatient, especially the shortest, no one has took this long in answering their proposal. I hate waiting and I hate to be kept waiting. I hope this girl hurries up or else I'll make her my new puppet. She would make an excellent addition to my collection. Sasori thought.

"Alright, I'll join". Both men looked up and nodded. They removed their hats to reveal their faces. The shorter man had wild red hair with lazy brown eyes. And the tallest that has blonde hair, had beautiful cerulean eyes, but his left eye had a scope on it. "What are your names?" Tora asked. "My name is Deidara, un," said the blonde. "My name is Sasori no Akasuna," said the red-head.

Deidara took his hands out of his cloak. Tora saw that he had mouths on his hands and was a little creeped out about it. It looked like his hands were chewing on clay, he closed is palm and he looked up at her. Tora watched him curiously to see what he was going to do next. She saw him smirk at the corner of her eye. "I see you are very interested in my art, un." She looked up at him with a hint of interest in her eyes. This made his smirk turn into a grin. He opened his palm to reveal a small bird, he made a hand sign and it started to flap its wings and flew not so far and landed in the sand. Deidara made another sign and a cloud of smoke emerged from the bird. When the smoke cleared, the bird had grown at least ten times its previous size. Tora looked at it, amazed at his ability. Deidara jumped on the bird and said, "Do you want to walk or do you want to get on?" Tora looked up at him, and without saying a word got onto the bird. Then Sasori jumped on as well and the bird flew off into the sky.

"Where are we going?" Tora asked, still not fully trusting the pair.

"Back to our base, un." Deidara answered.

Tora sighed at the simple answer; she wanted to know where exactly they were going.

"And where is that?" Tora asked in an annoyed tone.

"We can't tell you." Sasori said, involving himself in the small conversation of the other two.

This is going to be one hell of a journey…
