I strolled through the Akatsuki hideout, the one I made. Silently running my hands along the polished stone barrier, a small smile tugging on my lips.
It still seemed impossible that I had actually carved this place, with only my Art. Of course it had taken many days, annoying comments, disgusting meals, and practically all of my energy, but the result was perfect.
I continued to marvel at my work when Kisame and Itachi ran by me. Well, Kisame ran, Itachi kind of…floated. He's so perfect… They didn't spare me a glance. So when I saw Hidan and Kakazu following the previous pair, I grabbed Hidan sleeve.
"What's going on?" I asked. Kakazu gave Hidan and I a glare before running off again.
"There's a whole group of shinobi outside." He smirked, "I'll get to make a double sacrifice to Jashin-sama today." I let go of his sleeve and he took off after Kakazu.
"AKIRA!" I froze, recognizing the voice that called my name from outside. "YOU FUCKING BASTARDS! GIVE ME BACK MY SISTER!"
