*Parika's POV*

"Do I have to wear this?" I asked my sister.

"Yes, this is the bridesmaids dress and you're a bridesmaid," my sister answered "You look absolutely beautiful!"

"But it's so hideously pink," I complained.

"This is my wedding and I love it, so quite complaining."

The man my sister is marrying truly doesn't love her and I hate him. His name is Brad, he has short brown hair, brownish red eyes and a lizard tattoo on his neck. My sister said it was love at first sight, they spend almost all their time together but whenever he can he would be hitting on me and calling me my love or kitten. This man really freaks me out; I hate him even more after he drugged me and then rapped me when the whole family was out one day. Brad would often put a tracker on me so he can find me easily, when I found this out I started hanging out with friends more often and going to public places just so he couldn't get near, but that never stopped him. He kept coming back wanting more every time I tried to leave him in the dirt.

My sisters' wedding is very elaborate; we are a rich family so she has the money. The ceremony was quite boring, I am the only female ninja in our family, and I need the excitement and adventure. The reception was in a ballroom; half the room for eating the other half for dancing; the French doors on the side lead out to a garden. I sat in my assigned seat while everyone went to the dance floor, when I felt three chakra signatures, two I didn't recognize and one I did.

"Please tell me Lady Tsunade has a mission for me," I begged.

"She does," answered the male voice behind me.

He handed me a scroll, I opened it and read the contents. It told me that the Akatsuki are looking for me and that my mission is to join them to gather information. The mission sounded fun and I was excited for the challenge and the chance to escape.

"How very interesting," I handed the scroll back to the ANBU.

My eyes sparkled as I grabbed the bag from under my chair and ran off to the bathroom. When I came out I was wearing my favorite outfit, ninja headband, sword and kunai. I dropped the bag in my chair and headed for the French doors when my sister and her new husband stopped me.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"Mission," I simply stated walking out into the garden.

"Mission? What Mission?" she asked following.

"That's classified information," I gave her a stare that made her freeze in her tracks.

"Your sister and I are only worried about you," Brad grabbed my wrist when I was a few feet further away.

"I know my sister's worried," I snapped pulling my wrist away "She's always worried."

I didn't take more then two steps when Brad gave me a hug from behind. He moaned in pleasure as he sniffed my hair and brushed his hand past my breast. A shiver ran down my spine, less then 24 hours of being married and he was already on me.

"Don't leave me my love," he whispered softly in my ear.

I elbowed him in the gut making him let go of me. It gave me great pleasure to hear his grunt of pain and to see his face scrunched up.

* Deidara's POV *

"Is that her?" I asked my partner.

"Yes it is," he answered emotionlessly.

I flew my bird down to the ground as I did I saw the girl that we were ordered to capture elbow someone. The bird landed on the ground, she looked at me for a second before jumping on.

"Get me out of here," she ordered.

I blinked in surprise at how easy it was but nodded and I commanded my clay bird to fly back to the base. The girl held on tight to my partner as we flew away, she obviously didn't enjoy the lift off.

"Are you Parika?" he asked verifying.

"Yes," she answered.

We now flew smoothly high above the ground and she let go of my partner to watch the scenery below. She looked beautiful as the wind whipped through her long purple hair and how the moon light illuminated her body perfectly.

"My name's Sasori and my partner here is Deidara," he pulled me from my thoughts "We want you join the Akatsuki."

"Sure," she answered without hesitation.

"You do know who the Akatsuki are, right?" I asked dumbfounded that she answered so quickly.

"Yes, but you asked so nicely," she turned to face me; the stars were making her dark blue eyes sparkle "I was getting really board at the village."

"We're going down," Master Sasori warned.

Parika quickly grabbed a hold of me. I turned my face away feeling a blush cross my cheeks. I helped her off the bird and she followed me to the leader's office with Master Sasori close behind.

"Miss Parika, I see you decided to join us," he eyed her as the door closed. She stayed quiet, just nodding at the statement and starred at the leader with her soft eyes "My name's Pein and I'm the leader of the Akatsuki. Unfortunately we don't have any extra rooms or beds at the moment, so you'll have to share with someone. Also you won't have a fixed team at the moment, I'll have you jump from team to team until a new member shows up. You'll also need a ring and cloak."

"No," Parika spoke up.

"No?" Pein looked at her icily.

"No cloak," she repeated.

Pein and Parika had a staring contest. Parika obviously won since there was a smirk on her face and Pein sighed in defeat. I have never seen our leader give into anyone so easily and wondered what kind of powers Parika held. She was going to be an interesting addition to the Akatsuki.

"Fine," he ran his hand through his hair "You're dismissed."

* Parika's POV *

Sasori mumbled something about going to his room when Deidara insisted on introducing me to the other members. I really didn't want to since I knew who they are, back in Konoha if I wasn't on a mission most of my time was spent reading about the Akatsuki. Deidara lead me to the living room and introduced everyone, all mouths formed this perverted grin once I walked in. Tobi ran forward giving me a hug, the sudden impact made me fall backwards.

"Tobi thinks Parika's very pretty," he chirped in his high pitched childish voice.

"Madara Uchiha, get off of me," I whispered in his ear, it took me a very long time and lots of research to figure out this secret.

"You're smart," he whispered back in his masculine voice "You will be mine."

I glared at him as Deidara pulled him off of me and helped me up "Thanks."

"Parika, where are you sleeping?" Kisame asked.

"Wherever I want," I shrugged "Since there aren't enough beds or rooms I have to share with someone."

"I'll be glad to show you my room," Hidan offered.

"Thanks," I grinned as he jumped up "But no thanks, I'm going to bed, good night."

I walked off in the same direction as Sasori, I followed his chakra. I knocked on the door before being told I could enter. There was Sasori, working on one of his puppets at his desk and behind him were two beds.

"Which bed is yours?" I asked.

He sighed and pointed to the bed directly behind him. I laid down on the bed and immediately went to sleep. The Akatsuki were going to be easy targets by their reactions tonight, but Sasori was the one I was more interested with.
