Uchiha Madara stared at Pain coolly, mask gone.
"Madara-sama," Pain acknowledged.
"Pain." He nodded, "Konan."
"As you know," Madara began, "There is only one female in the Akatsuki."
"Yes…"
"Well, I think it's kinda sexist, don't you?" Madara said thoughtfully. "So I was thinking, you know, maybe we could have some additions…preferably female, so Konan doesn't get lonely."
"There are no rings, Madara-sama," Pain replied. "Orochimaru took his when he left."
"Even with Orochimaru's ring," The man shrugged, "It wouldn't be enough. I wanted six new members."
"Why six?" Konan asked.
"Have you heard of the rogue ninjas who go by the name of the Daughters of Kami?" Madara asked. "The ones who successfully assassinated a Mizukage?"
She nodded, eyeing him warily.
"They're made up of six people, if my math serves me right."
"I understand that they are powerful ninjas, Madara-sama," Pain said, "But of what interest are they to you?"
"Quite, actually." Madara smirked. "It's so boring with only Konan in the organization."
"Even if we wanted to invite them to join us," Konan chimed in, "We would have to research to find them -- if they're still alive, even…"
"That's where you're wrong," His smirk grew wider as he placed a small stack of papers on Pain's desk. "I've taken the liberty of doing all that grueling work myself, thank you very much. It includes who I want them to be partnered with. I think three man teams work out well, too."
"Why do these girls interest you so much?" Pain asked, noticing that all of the girls were younger than their youngest member, Deidara.
"Like I said, it's boring only having one female in the whole organization. These girls are quite the characters. Plus, they're strong."
"I'll send Itachi and Kisame for them. Konan, you will go as well."
"That's good," Madara approved. "I expect to see them by the end of next month. They don't stay in one place too long, and I'd hate to have to start all over again."
Author: Hopefully, you've read up to this point. This is basically an OC story (another one? -gasp-!), one of the many here on FF. Basically, since I am the so-called "writer" of the group, my friends (the oc's) have entrusted me the duty of writing a story with us as inserts. Wonderful, right? (Thank them for the ideas that'll come later on.) The pairings will become evident after four or five chapters (most of them, at least), so I hope you can read up till that point.
