Hi. Okay so begin I do not and never will own Naruto because for one I didn't create it and for two I never would have let Zabuza die. I really miss him. Also, this story is going to be an Ino x Kisame story. I know crack pairing, but I can't help it...its cute. another warning I make errors and this story is going to start slow and build because I truely am a beginer at the whole fanfic concept. So work with me. Reviews are always highly appreciated and enjoy!

I can never forgive…I can never forget…I will not forgive or forget what they did to Asuma. He was my friend. He was my rock. He was my sensei and I can never let go of the fact that they removed him from this earth. I hate Hidan and I hope Shika dismantled that asswhole.

I'm not impervious to pain. I'm not as strong as I pretend to be and I'm not beautiful when I fall apart. I know that now that I am here with them. I can break and will break. They look at me like I'm pitiful and I am. I am broken because they stole a piece of my family. I know that now that they hold me here in the dark. I may never escape but they can alll go to hell if they believe I will betray my family or village for a mad man's dream.

I am Yamanaka Ino and I will die in this hell to protect the ones I have left.

Itachi had just exited the prison chamber that held the Akatsuki's newest captive. He was tired and his eyes twitched in pain for having to produce another round of Tsukuyomi on the prisoner. She had held out and struggled against his will the first time, but as their sessions continued she had retreated deeper into her self. He was pleased to break that little twits arrogance and displeased to find himself another Sasuke fan. he had quickly stripped her of thoughts of his brothers and survival after their first session.

The Uchiha was tired and displease with the progress he had made. She was hiding the info and he was tired of digging up empty plots in search of it. Pein would not be pleased. So he began to make his views know.

"Leader-sama, I don't think she can take much more," Itachi spoke. "Tsukuyomi isn't working and she is continually submerging deeper into herself which would be fine if we want to feed her to Zetsu..."

"Itachi enough," Pein glared at him. "I need to know the details of Hidan and Kakuzu's deaths. I want to know how two immortals died at the hands of that village and that woman was there to witness it. She holds significant knowledge…" Pein trailed off. He was tired of the wench's persistants and equally angry that Itachi's trade mark was failing to reveil the much needed information.

Konan interrupted her friend and lover as he fumed with understandable frustration. "I think we need a different approach."

Pein turned to the female Akatsuki member questionable, "What do you have in mind?"

Konan began to choose her words wisely. She knew the man she loved and served wouldn't strike out at her, but she needed to make sure not to challenge his authority. Pein had a fragile temper and she didn't want to watch another explosion. "Let her recuperate, pass her off to someone to watch over her as we continue to track down the other demons. They are our first concern. Then after we finish collecting them and once she is ready we will allow her to try again. If she back fires again we collect one of her teammates and make are meaning clearly understood."

Pein looked at his female counter part as he considered her proposal. he gaze softened at her and then turned back to its original cold exterior, "Fine…give her to Kisame for failing to get the Jinchūriki."

Konan nodded her head in consent and thanks to the Kamis for with holding Pein's wrath.

Itachi snickered. Poor damn Kisame was going to how to rebuild the loud mouth blond and he was free because of his eye. 'He he.' Not many things pleased the Uchiha, but watching the show down between the blond and the fish-man would be one of his few outlets of entertainment.

"Itachi," Pein paused. "Let him know that he has to remove her from the wall and she is to stay with him until further notice," he smirked as he and Konan walked down the corridor.

'Damn this is going to be one hell of a night,' Itachi snickered as he walked to Kisame's room.

So what do you think? Reviews will help, but I will continue to post no matter the number of reviews.
