Summary: Ame has been with the Akatsuki since she was a baby. She was the sole survivor of one of Pein's night attacks. This is the story of her hectic lif in the Akatsuki, set at age 18.

A Little Faith

"Ame, Leader-Sama would like to speak with you." Konan's voice called to her from the dark hallway outside the dimly lit (but still comforting) library.

Ame sighed and bookmarked her page. "Alright, I'm coming." She muttered and stood up. She set her book down on the table beside her and walked out of the warm library into the freezing cold hallway. She shivered once and started the long walk (behind Konan, never beside or in front) to Pein's office.

. . .

"I would like to introduce you to our little assassin, Ame." Pein excellently timed his sentence, as Ame and Konan walked in.

Ame blushed as Hidan winked at her. She looked down at her feet, keeping silent. She stared at her feet as Pein gave them a bit of background information about her.

"Ame." Pein said bluntly. He beckoned to her with his finger.

Ame slowly walked forward. She stopped a few feet away from Pein and looked onto his ringed eyes. Ame smiled inwardly. Pein hadn't been able to replace her family, but he HAD been kind (kind for Pein, at least). She almost thought of him as a brother….almost.

Pein gave her a reassuring nod and beckoned Zetsu forward. "You will be paired with Zetsu, for now. Play nice." He told Zetsu sternly and looked back down at Ame. "Your first mission begins in a weeks' time. But first, I want to test (and show off) your skills….Hidan." Pein called. "Let's see how much she can handle."

Hidan smirked. "I'll go easy on you, honey." He said and sheathed his scythe.

Ame narrowed her eyes and took her defensive position.
