From ANBU to Akatsuki

By silver-nightstorm

Summary: When Skry left Konoha for a vacation, she had no idea what was in store for her. Why did the Akatsuki have to see "potential" in her? Because now, she's stuck with a bunch of super-hot S-class criminals. Oh dear Jashin...

Chapter 1: Vacation

"TSUNADE! I NEED A VACATION!"

I stood in front of the fifth Hokage's desk, fists clenched, and just about ready to spaz... wait, I already did the spaz part, so scratch that. I stood in front of the fifth Hokage's desk, fists clenched, spazzing. There, much better. I was annoyed, as you probably assumed by now. I was a seventeen-year-old ANBU captain, and also the one who had the most missions dumped on her. Being a "gifted genius" wasn't all it was cracked up to me, I mean, talk to Neji Hyuuga and Itachi Uchiha. One is being "enslaved" by the main branch of his clan, the other freakin killed his clan! So the story for gifted geniuses didn't go too well.

After the attack by the sound nin; Konoha had been seriously deprived of ninja. So, all of the shinobi, especially ANBU, were piled high with mission after mission. And I cracked, big time. I was sick and tired of work, and I needed a break.

Being a Nara, I wasn't that "work oriented". Get a load of my little brother. Shikamaru was such a slacker, he made... well, anyone look like they were working their butts off. And also, my Nara blood made me want to relax and have "Skry time" at least five times a week, but at the rate life was going, I'd be lucky if I got my "Skry time" once in the next seven years. So you could imagine that I wasn't thrilled.

So, here I was in Lady Hokage's office, demanding a vacation. And if I didn't get one, I was at the point where I would just leave and risk being declared a missing-nin. I was past the caring point. I had this "dangerous disregard for authority" problem. Like, even if I was confronted with the leader of the Akatsuki, I would still be mouthing off, which would probably get me killed. But, being me, I wouldn't think about that until after I did whatever bad thing I wanted to do. Thankfully, Lady Tsunade knew about my "problem" and didn't have me imprisoned of the spot.

She looked at me and smiled wryly, "Same old Skry..." she sighed. She looked at me seriously, "You know we're short on shinobi, and I need you here..."

"And you know I'm gonna go on vacation anyway, so you might as well give me permission to leave..."

Tsunade glared at me, "I wasn't done yet!"

"Oh..."

"As I was saying... I need you here, but I know that you will be of no use to any of us whatsoever if you're in a bad mood... So, I'm gonna give you permission to leave, for a month, that's it!"

"Yay!" I jumped up and down, forgetting my upset-ness. I ran to the back of the desk and hugged Tsunade, "!"

Tsunde laughed and carefully pried me off. "I swear," she smiled, "you have the freakiest mood swings ever!"

"I do try!" I smiled.

She ruffled my black hair, and smiled, "Always the same! Now go and enjoy that vacation of yours! You deserve it! But under one condition..."

"What?"

"You take you ANBU stuff with you, just in case you need it."

"... fine..."

"Well, go enjoy!"

"I will, believe me!" I ran out of the Hokage's office, skipping and jumping around, and ran right into Kakashi. "Oh!" I gasped. I was still in my ANBU gear, with my mask off. Bad idea, mucho.

"Skry?" asked Kakashi, "I knew you were an ANBU, but I never knew you were a captain!"

"Shh!" I put my finger to my lips, "I'm on vacation! I don't want anyone to see me and then give me work!"

Kakashi shook his head, "Just like your brother..."

I smirked at him, "It's not like you're any better!"

"I guess you're right... well, gotta go! See ya!"

"Bye!" I ran back home to my apartment. Vacation... here I come!

Was that good? Bad? Horrifyingly Horrific? Please tell me! I need input! (runs around hyperventilating)
