Reasons To Join The Akatsuki (In Fanfiction)
Chapter One - The Epic Hat
[Words in italics are from the *non existent* fanbook.]
Much like the prequel to this particular book, an OC is needed. I could be mean and tell you to read 'Ways To Join The Akatsuki' first so I don't have to do retell everything from before - which would also be a clever advertising plan - but I'll quickly go into the basics right here:
1) Give the OC a good personality. They need flaws as well as pros (an OC with no flaws is known as a Mary/Gary Stu and they annoy the hell out of your readers).
2) A name is very important. Sometimes it can be relevant to that OC's traits, other times it's witty to make it opposite.
Those are the two basic rules, I hope you get them down. Now, let's launch into 'Reasons To Join The Akatsuki'!
Lola was on guard duty surrounding the Hidden Village of Corn when suddenly someone jumped out at her from the tall plants. One quick glance at their cloaks and she knew they were an enemy, so she pulled her huge, powerful - and super epic - sword of her back and stood in a fighting stance.
"Surrender now or face being killed in one blow by my sword-" She was cut off when another cloaked person leaped from behind her and knocked her out cold.
(About an hour later)
When Lola awoke, she found herself in a strange, dark room, many pairs of eyes looking curiously at her.
She tried to move but couldn't: thick ropes were tied around her ankles and wrists; she was damning herself for being a fairly weak water type. It didn't help that her sword was laid out on a desk in front of her.
The people in the room watched as she attempted to break her way out of the ropes, only to fall on her side. A few of them began to laugh.
"Hey! Shut up!" The girl snapped, irritated. "Why are you keeping me here?"
"Because," a voice from behind the desk said and all swivelled to face the guy, Lola glaring in his direction. "Your skills with the sword are useful to us."
"Huh." She smirked. "You think I'd join you guys? I know who you are. You're the Akatsuki. I've heard tales about you, how you stole the Ichibi from Sabaku No Gaara, Suna's Kazekage. I would never join you!" Lola spat. "I would rather die! You'll have to kill me, and I'm pretty sure my village will rush to avenge me when they here about this."
The dark figure shrugged. "You leave us no choice. You really should join us though, we'll give you free waffles."
"Waffles? Really? You're stupid if you think I'll be brought by that!"
"Don't you want to wear our cloaks?"
"Those weird, over sized things with swirly cloud rip offs on them? No thanks!"
"Leader-sama, if I may…" Another voice in the darkness piped up. "You could always give her one of those. Nobody is able to resist them…"
"Them? What are they? Hello?" Lola kept repeating the sentence.
"I don't know…Ah screw it, that's an excellent idea Sasori!"
"Does this mean I get a raise?" There was a hopeful tone clear in his speech.
"F*ck no!"
"Damn."
"Leader-sama…You don't pay us at all, yeah."
"Shut up Deidara! I'm the leader, I say what goes! Tell them Konan!"
"Not this again…Could you just make her join already?"
"Ah, yes, sorry, of course!" He coughed. "Turn the light on."
There was the flick of a switch and Lola blinked a few times. Her sword had been moved slightly so there was room for another item.
The girl twitched. It was going to be difficult resisting…
"What do say Lola? Join us…And one of these will be yours for nothing."
"I…Um…"
Her eyes couldn't help but be drawn to the straw hat sitting there. It was pointed and generally awesome looking…
But she couldn't join the Akatsuki! They were bad guys!
But the hat was awesome looking…
"This hat…For nothing…"
She breathed out and she began wriggling in her bounds once more. "Yes, whatever! I don't care what I have to do, just give me the hat!"
Leader-sama smirked. Another - quite useful - sucker had fallen for the hat's charms.
It was dirty cheating, putting that out there to tempt them but seriously, who said anything about playing fair?
Fighting fair just wouldn't be the Akatsuki's thing now, would it?
There isn't really much to say about this chapter except to note the characters determination at the start and then watch as she is worn down. It happens to the best of us…
Until next time.
Hi there everyone! Did you miss this series? 'Cause I definitely missed writing it!
As you can tell, it's a sequel to 'Way To Join The Akatsuki'. It'll probably be shorter but then, who can tell? I sort of jot ideas down and then get new ones to replace bad ones…Looks like I'm in for quite a bumpy ride!
[If you're completely new to this, then hello! I hope you enjoy reading!]
Oh! Thanks to everyone that reviewed the bonus chap on WTJTA: Moonlight'sServant, Echo Uchiha, Noel14, LizaKon, Neko Morie, icrazy3477 and The Chocolate Queen. Don't know if you'll read this one too but…You were mentioned! ^_^
