This story is the beginning of an end. It was then that I realized that I could not escape from what I had to go through. I knew it hadto hurt but I never realized that it would hurt so much. It would hurt me enough to break my heart, and my very soul.

Snow falling from the sky

A stranger with long black hair, tied back with a red band, walked over the bridge that was built over the now frozen river. He extended his hand towards what looked like a small child with red flowing short hair and matching eyes.

"Come with me if you want to become stronger." He said.

Stronger, the girl thought. She nodded, "Yes, I want to become stronger. I promised I would get stronger." She took his hand.

"What is your name?" the stranger asked her. His eyes had changed, literally. They used to be the color of black velvet, now they were a bright red.

The Sharingan.

"M-my name? ... I-I don't really remember…I can't remember…"

Can't remember..? "Well then from now on you will answer to Kira." He lifted his umbrella so that it would cover them both from the falling soft snow.

Kira…Kira. Yes that's my name…my new name. Kira.


"Kira…Kira……Kira."

She heard her name. Someone was calling out for her. No I want to keep dreaming. She felt someone yanking her bangs for her to wake up.

"Kira. Wake up its time to go."

She opened her eyes slowly and saw what was yanking her hair. It was that same person she had met in her dream. The same black velvet eyes that she met on that day she was given a new name, a new identity, a new life. Those eyes, those same eyes from before, she thought.

"Hurry and get dressed."

She rubbed her eyes and yawned. "It's still early outside. Where are we going?"

"We are going to join…the Akatsuki." He said. He had tied his hair back just as he usually did and was already dressed and ready to go.

She immediately got up from her futon and screamed."What but I thought you weren't- that I- !"

"It has already been decided. WE are leaving right now."

"No! I won't! I won't let you!" She shouted at him.

He reached out for her neck, but he was too slow for her. She had grabbed his arm before he could get a good grip on her.

"I-I won't let you!"

He closed his eyes, "You don't seem to understand…"he said, "you're coming with me…that's," he slowly opened his eyes, "a…ORDER!" He fully opened his eyes to reveal his Mangekyo Sharingan.

She felt her body go limp and her vision blurred. "N-no…damn…you…Itachi…" Her grip loosened and in seconds her head dropped down. Fainted.

Itachi Uchiha jumped from tree to tree just like any other ninja would do to get to a desired destination. He was careful though, he didn't want to drop his fainted 'friend'. It was a 50-foot drop and he did not want to be held responsible if something happened to his 'friend' before they reached the arranged meeting place.

He felt movement but kept going. He hoped that she would stay fainted for a bit longer at least until he got to the other members.

Unfortunately fate had other plans.

Kira slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was traveling through the dense forest. Her long red hair flowed with the air. "W-what's going on?"

"So you finally woke up. You should know exactly where we are heading." He said without looking at her.

Kira looked up at Itachi. He was wearing the black cloak that had red cloud patterns on it. He was also wearing a straw hat with a charm bell hanging on the side.

"Hurry up and use that special transformation jutsu of yours."

"So, you don't want to change your mind? Is this really what you want?" What do you choose Itachi? What will you choose? For all that is right in the world do NOT choose the Akatsuki! Not the Akatsuki!!!

Sigh. "I-I choose…the Akatsuki, there is no turning back now…"

I see then. I will go-. "Stop."

Itachi stopped on one of the branches of the trees and let Kira from his grip.

She stood up and clasped her hands together forming the hitsuji (ram) symbol. Special Transformation Jutsu! Ice mirror!

So I see that you will go with me after all. "So why do you keep using that body? It doesn't seem natural for you to use it since that person is already dead."

Kira had transformed into Haku from the Hidden Mist Village. "What I do is none of your concern right?"

"………." He turned around to the direction they were heading to. "Alright let's go."

They both jumped from tree to tree using their ninja shadow blur to gain even greater speed.

"So I see that you decided to accept my invitation Itachi." A shadowy figure said.

The three were standing on top of a statue's finger tips.

Before Itachi and Kira had arrived to their destination Itachi warned Kira

"Let me do all the talking Kira." He told her.

Kira, 'Haku' gave Itachi an 'I hate you look' she was still PO at him from before, but she knew that she had to trust him since he was the only one of the two who knew how the organization worked from the inside.

"Don't give me that look."

"What other look do you want me to give you?"

"I gave you a choice to join or not." He sounded PO , well more like irritated with her. Why do I put up with her?

"Some choice, after you dragged me half way through the forest." She mumbled.

"You could have left…why do I even bother with you…"

He's right, he always is. "Alright you prove your point. I won't speak, even though I don't see why I can't no one has ever been able to break me transformation jutsu. It's perfectly mastered."

"So can you answer me this Itachi…why is it that people always come back crawling for mercy?" the shadowy figure asked Itachi.

The question seemed to irritate and anger Itachi, you could see it in his blood red sharingan eyes.

'Haku' tried to do something, but stayed still instead. She knew that if she messed up she could pay the price with death and not only would she pay but so would Itachi. I can't let that happen, she though.

"Oh were are my manners." He said, "I forgot to ask the name of this young lady you came with. So what is your name young lady?"

Gulp. H-how did he know. My transformations are flawless!!

"She seems surprised Itachi. Show me your real self." The shadow man said. "Your leader orders you to do it."

'Haku' turned his head towards Itachi to see what to do.

Itachi just nodded and said, "Do as you are told."

He nodded and took his mask off. At that same time Kira undid the jutsu and revealed her self to Leader. "My name is Kira the Killer."

In a lighted room a red head and blond head had been in conversing for a while when a man with an orange swirl mask and spiky black hair ran in and interrupted them.

"Tobi is a good boy. Tobi heard that we are going to get a new member and that Itachi came back."

"So Itachi decided to return, hmm." The blond said, he was wearing the same black cloak with red cloud patterns that Itachi had on.

"Are you sure Tobi?" the red head asked the man with spiky black hair. Red head didn't seem like a man, he looked more like a twelve year old kid. He also was wearing the same cloak.

"Yes Tobi is a good boy. I swear its true." He didn't really look like a boy or a man since you couldn't really see his face. He sure acted like a little boy though. Again he was also wearing the same attire just like the other two.

"Ooh. I wonder if we're finally getting a girl?!" the blond one said.

Suddenly they all heard a knock on the closed doors behind them. The door opened slowly and Kira popped her head through the crack. "May I come in."

"Come on in." the blond long haired man said.

Kira opened the big and heavy wooden door, and walked inside the room where the three Akatsuki members where at.

The three dropped their jaws and looked really, really surprised when they saw her.

"Um…hello there, my name is Kira."

"Y-you're a girl?!"

"Wow Deidara-senpai your like a psychic!" The spiky black haired man said.

"I –I guess I am!" Deidara said while laughing slightly.
