Kari was sleeping on the cold, wet ground; waiting for someone or something to come and get her. She was a prisoner of this place for over a month now and she just didn't really care anymore. She still had some form of company and they said she was too valuable to starve so she was given food and water.
She knew what they meant when she would hear the guards say kekkei genkai but she didn't think she had one. Maybe she did but her parents never mentioned it. She felt something wet run down her face and when she realized she was crying she didn't stop herself from thinking about her parents. She loved her parents but they didn't last long after the first people taken from her village were interrogated.
She smiled as she remembered how her mother used to sing to her and her mother's summons would come. Kari's mother had a wonderful singing voice. Kari herself inherited her mother's singing voice, but, sadly, it was a mix of her father's voice which was horrible, leaving Kari with just a good voice. Nothing to sell for a big profit, but something to please whomever was listening.
A light then invaded the cell and Kari squinted her gray-blue eyes. She looked up and could only tell it was a man but couldn't figure out what the person looked like because the light from behind blinded her; leaving the figure of the man a mystery. The man bent on one knee in front of her and she flinched back, but being as she was against the wall already she really didn't go anywhere.
The man took some of her wavy golden-brunette hair and then said in a monotone, "Is this the girl you were talking about?"
A woman figure then appeared in the light, but Kari could only still made out her figure; Kari figured she must've been in the dark longer than she thought.
The woman nodded and said in a voice that was a motherly tone, "Yes… she's the one."
The man nodded, stood back up and said, "Girl what is your name?"
Kari looked up at the man and nodded saying, "My name is Kari."
"How old are you? Also have you had any training?"
"I'm 11, and as far as training I was trained by my parents, so I wouldn't be able to give it a title."
The man nodded and the woman asked, "Do you want to come with us?"
Kari looked suspiciously at the two and asked, "Where are the guards?"
The man stated, "They are all disposed of."
Kari felt a small smile grace her lips but she then asked, "Where are you taking me?"
The woman now stepped up next to the man and said, "We're going to take you away, and, you can say, adopt you."
Kari's face lit up and said, "Are you serious?" the two nodded and Kari laughed with joy, "Okay. I have nowhere else to go so please take me away, mother, father."
The woman came over, reached out her hand and Kari took it. The woman led her out the door followed by the man and when she looked at the two she smiled.
The woman had her blue hair had a bun with her hair falling down in a scene like style ((at least that's what it looks like to me)) and a small white paper flower was on the top right side of her head, her eyes were red-orange, and she had a small lip piercing. The top of Kari's head was the same height as the woman's chest.
The man had spiky orange hair and piercings all over his body, but what made Kari stare was that his purple eyes had rings in them. She believed they are what are called ocular kekkei genkai.
The man noticed her staring and looked at her and asked, "What?"
Kari smiled, but felt Konan tighten the grip on her hand, and said, "Your eyes are pretty father."
The man smiled a tiny smile and said, "They are very special kekkei genkai."
Kari smiled and said, "Ah I knew it! Only people with ocular kekkei genkai have pretty eyes like that."
The woman smiled and the man said, "Thank you Kari."
The woman then said, "And Kari you have your own pair as well."
Kari looked at the woman like she was telling a joke and said, "I don't have father's eyes."
The man laughed and said, "You don't have my eyes but you have an ocular kekkei genkai of your own."
Kari looked back and forth at her new parents and asked, "Really?" they nodded and she smiled asking, "What do they look like?"
The man patted her head, took her other, empty hand, and then looked forward saying, "We'll let you see for yourself when we get to our home."
Kari pouted but said, "Okay." As they were all walking, hand in hand something popped into Kari's head and she felt guilty saying, "Father? Mother?" They looked at her and she continued, "What shall I call you? I mean I didn't even ask what you wanted to be called before I called you father and mother."
The woman laughed and the man smirked saying, "I'm Pein and she is Konan but you can still call us what you have before." That caused Kari to smile as they continued to walk down the road and off into the forest.
They walked for a long time and it was dark. Kari was still in between her two new parents, smiling away like nothing was wrong in the world, though she was getting tired.
Konan must've noticed it because she picked up the girl and said, "Pein, we should really take a break for the night. Besides he did say to meet him in this forest; he didn't specify where."
Pein nodded as he looked to his new daughter who was drowsy as it was already. Kari looked back and forth between her two parents and wondered who he was and what they were planning on meeting up with. She didn't care really at that point so she just shut her eyes and fell asleep.
When she woke up she noticed that they had found a huge hollow of a tree to sleep in which was really comfy and warm. It was still dark outside so she snuggled closer to the body she was resting on. She heard a chuckle that didn't belong to either Pein or Konan, but she wrote it off to sleep until a deep ((I have to say kind of sexy)) voice that came from it, "She seems to have taken a liking to me."
Kari jumped off the person and turned around to see who it was and saw a black haired man with black eyes. She was confused and suspicious of whom he was and he smirked and said, "Well I guess I spoke to soon."
Konan smiled at Kari and said, "Kari, don't worry. He's going to be like another father figure to you."
Kari gave Konan a strange look but never took her glance fully away from the new man who chuckled again. Pein shook his head and stated, "Kari come here."
Kari, still not taking her eyes away from the new man, made her way over to Pein and sat down next to him; Pein then patted her head and said, "This is one of the people who are going to help us with our goal in the future and he also offered to train you when I or Konan cannot. This is a very gracious offer to people without a village."
Kari finally took her eyes off the man and looked to Pein asking, "And who, may I ask, is he?" turning her eyes back on the man.
The man smirked and said, "Very smart girl, I'm Madara Uchiha."
Kari widens her eyes and remembers hearing something about the Uchiha clan and about one of their earlier leaders. "How can he still be alive, if that is really him?" she asked herself.
As if he could read her mind he said, "My story is a long one that I'll tell another time."
Kari's eyes widened and she stuttered, "So I… you are… how'd you-"
She was cut off by Madara laughing. She then felt a hand on her shoulder and when she looked she saw it was Konan and she said, "Kari do you know what we're planning?" Kari shook her head and Konan continued, "We're plan on controlling the world."
Kari looked at Konan and asked, "Are you serious?"
Pein answered, "Yes, and before we take you any further we need to know if you are willing to help us."
Kari paid one glance at Madara and then back and forth between her new parents. She just got them and she didn't want to leave them now. Plus Fate brought this fortune to her and she guessed I was a sign that this was what she was to do with her life.
She smiled and said, "I will help you with all my power." Her parents and Madara smiled at her.
Madara then scooted a bit closer and looked directly into the girl's eyes and his then turned crimson with three tomoe surrounding the pupil. Kari looked at him and felt panic she then felt dizzy and sang the small song her mother told her to every time she had one of these dizzy spells.
When the words came out she felt less dizzy and calmer, but the three adults looked at her in shock as claws wrapped around her stomach and took her towards the ceiling. Kari looked up and smiled, "Koumari!"
The giant fox bat looked down at her and then put it on her back asking, "Kari what's wrong?"
Kari hugged the bat's neck and said, "Sorry, but I really didn't need you. Mama told me every time I start to get dizzy to sing a song. I didn't know it was your song."
Koumari laughed and looked down at the people below her and asked, "How is your mom?"
Kari smiled sadly and said, "Papa and mama were killed and when we were taken from the village about a month ago."
Koumari looked at her in pity then asked, "Then who are those people?"
"The woman and the man with the spiky hair are going to be my new parents and the other one is going to be my sensei." Kari replied.
Koumari nodded and said, "Well I'm going to put you down now. Do you need me to stay when I do?"
Kari shook her head and replied, "I'll be okay." Koumari nodded and then landed, gently picking up Kari and placing her in between Pein and Konan.
Before she left she stated, "Kari's a precious summoner. I warn you now. If anything happens to her the person responsible will have every summon go after them until they are dead. Make sure to treat her well or I'll personally visit." Koumari bent down and licked Kari's face saying, "Till next time." And then the bat was gone.
The adults looked at Kari making her feel uncomfortable until Konan pulled out a mirror and gave it to Kari saying, "Your kekkei genkai is showing."
Kari looked in the mirror and in her eyes little black figures of all the animals from the zodiac circled her pupil. She was shocked and whispered to no one, "Mama never told me about this."
Konan hugged the young girl and said, "Congratulations. You're the first official member of Akatsuki."
"Akatsuki?" Kari asked when Konan let her go.
Pein nodded and said, "That's how we're going to accomplish our goal. We're going to make an organization of members of society like ourselves and call it Akatsuki."
Kari smiled and Madara said, "Well now that everything is settled," he stood up and offered his hand to Kari, smiling, "Shall I begin your lessons?"
Kari smiled, took his hand and stated, "Hai, sensei."
Madara then turned his crimson gaze to Konan and Pein and said, "When I come back I'll have exactly where our girl is, and Kari you may also call me father if you wish."
Kari smiled and said, "Hai, father!"
And they walked out the tree leaving Pein and Konan to prepare an after-training-breakfast.
