Hey everyone! This is my redo of Akatsuki no Hime, since Sasuke was very OOC in the other one and I have a MUCH MUCH better idea for this one. I know that most of my stories are taking quite a while to update. Sigh….i blame school x] well…………..AKATSUKI REDOOOOOOOOO!

Scroll one

Someone's POV

I've heard so many storied about the Akatsuki no Hime, how talented she was, and how terrible. It's a shame to say that she has lived in Konoha most her life. She's probably the most wanted S rank criminal besides Itachi, how sad. I picked up her info book to look further about her. Naomi, why did you leave the village? After all we've done for you, why?'

Name: Katsumi Chiyami (Katsumi=Victorious beaty/ Kurayami= Darkness)

Status: S-rank ninja

Age: Currently 16

Background info: The Kurayami clan was probably the strongest clan in the world, with the Uchihas. They were skilled in controlling darkness and known for their mysterious ways of killing. They lived on the borders of Konoha. They were a great clan, but one day, Orochimaru, one of the three legendary Sannins, murdered all of them. All except one—Naomi Kurayami.

I put the book down. Konoha has lost the last survivors of two of the strongest clans.

"Lady Tsunade," Shizune called from outside my office. Guess I'll go.

Katsumi's POV

I swung my Mangetsu Blade at the dummies that lied before me. 'Concentrate…. Focus the darkness into the tip of the blade. Then, when the blade goes inside the target's flesh, release it.' I thought of the procedures in my head for my new attack. Practicing on a dummy is boring. I need a real person to try it on……..but who?

I ran into the base, remembering that Pein told me to come in once I finished trying because he had a mission. He ruined my training for some stupid mission, but I shouldn't complain. He would punish me severally if I did.

I just walked to the office wearing my usually expression, whatever that may be. I knocked on the door with certain caution. It's not like I'm scared of Pein. He's like a brother or whatever to me, but still, he is the Akatsuki leader.

"Come in," He said in a hushed voice. I slowly opened the door and walked in.

"I see you're here for your mission," He stated oh-so-very bluntly. I just nodded, not showing any particular emotion. Emotions are a bother, really. Smiling takes too much effort and hurts my face and frowning is even worse, so I just keep a bored emotion. Simple and clean.

"Katsumi, I wished that you would open up more," Konan stated for behind Pein.

"What's the mission?" I said, obviously avoiding her comment.

"Before I start, you must promise not to interrupt," Pein started and I just raised an eyebrow 'is it that hard of a mission?'

"You must act as a follower of Orochimaru," he began as my eyes widen from shock, "In order to remove him from our way, you must pretend to be one of his people, then, turn on him once you know his weaknesses."

He expected me to say 'hai', but I don't think I can do it. I mean, Orochimaru slowly sliced of my parent's heads right in front of me! How can I ever forgive that heartless bastard?! I didn't need to do this mission if I didn't want to. I didn't have to be loyal to the Akatsuki if I didn't want to, but nonetheless, I still need to kill Orochimaru, so this is a good chance.

"Hn," With that, I left to pack for this god forsaken mission.

Fast forward! Done packing!

I took my backpack full of essentials and went to the area where Pein had told me to wait for Orochimaru. I'm going to have to put my acting skills to the limit now.

As I kept walking, I finally got to the area and I saw that guy that made my life what it is, and his stupid little servants. I noticed that one of them was Konoha's top genin, Sasuke Uchiha. What an asshole. He just gave me a blank, uncaring look……so typical of an Uchiha. A four-eyed freak stood next to Oro, seeming very much like his right hand man. Orochimaru just looked at me with a terrifying smirk. I kept on a bored, straight face that contained absolutely no emotions.

"So, Katsumi, I see that you want to join……….and for what reason?" Oro hissed.

"Power," I kept on a straight face and looked across the horizon as if I were thinking of something far away. Orochimaru just chuckled.

"I must test you're powers first, Akatsuki no Hime,"he stressed the Akatsuki no Hime part. I didn't feel like showing him ANY of my powers, so I just looked across the horizon at the setting sun, forgetting that he existed.

"Fight Sasuke," He simply stated with a snake-like expression. Damn, was he getting on my nerves! I just nonchalantly stared at him.

Sasuke's POV

I was a bit angered that Katsumi didn't give a shit that she was fighting me, but my expression didn't change. Then all of a sudden, I felt a blade on my neck draining out a few droplets of blood. 'she's definitely got much faster' I thought as I endured the pain. I heard her giggle in a sickly sweet manner as she drew back her katana.

"I'd rather not," she stated cooly. 'She hasn't changed much. Still the same raven black hair and purple eyes, except her hair is longer. And she got much faster…….i need to train more.'

Orochimaru just smirked and gestured her to follow us to the next base. Why was he letting her go so easily? And why is he letting an Akatsuki member join?

Katsumi's POV

Orochimaru motioned me to follow him to the base…………and that's how I ended up like this.

Time SKIP! (btw, the first part was in the beginning of Shippuden and this is gonna be where Sasuke kills Orochimaru.)

"You want to kill Orochimaru," Sasuke stated with his usual cool demeanor.

"No," I sighed and he looked at me with an arched eyebrow, "I want to make his suffer until he begs for his death."

"Help me kill Orochimaru," He went straight to the point, ignoring my evil comment. I just raised my eyebrow curiously.

"what's in it for me?" That was pretty obvious. -.-'

"He dies, your revenge is complete," He looked straight into my purple orbs with his onyx eyes, "But you have to help me with mine."

"Hm, so there was a catch," I knew it…. "In that case, go jump in a lake." I got up and walked out the door when he suddenly grabbed my arm.

"Fine, you don't have to help me with my revenge," He glared at me, pissed because he had to ask for help. Good.

"In that case," I turned around with a glint of mischief in my eyes, "better make his death painful."

He had explained his plan to me. Orochimaru was already weak, so it would be easy to kill him. Then, my mission would be complete. Uchiha wanted me to use my kekkei genkai, which was to inflict pain be thinking about it, on Orochimaru the whole time while he killed him. That would take loads of my chakra out, but at least he dies in the end.

Uchiha knocked to Orochimaru's door and Orochimaru told us to come in. I wore a bored expression, but my mind was about to burst out of pure excitement that my goal will finally be complete!

"I never liked the way you treated people," the Uchiha heir commented very bluntly.

"Don't tell me that you're here to kill me," Orochimaru smirked, but it immediately changed into a coughing fit.

"Actually," I walked in from the door, "I'll be having my revenge." Orochimaru's eyes slightly widened.

"But Sasuke, what about your revenge?" Orochimaru smirked slightly.

"I don't need your help anymore," Sasuke wore a constant mask of hidden emotions, "and I'm not helping Katsumi. She's helping me."

'Stupid, arrogant bastard' I thought but my emotion was the same as his, unfaltering, with just a hint of mischief. Sasuke nodded at me, as a signal to unleash my Kekkei Genkai.

"Oro-teme," I started, "I've been practicing…….." Then, I unleashed my Kekkei Genkai and his face writhed in pain. Sasuke then began to fight him. All was going well, until Orochimaru showed his true form, a white snake. 'Suits him well,' I thought coldly.

The snake suddenly lashed out at Sasuke and he swallowed him, WHOLE! I growled, 'do I have to do all the work around here?'

My Mangetsu Blade appeared in my hand I focused an incredible amount if darkness in the tip of it. Then, I plunged the sword into the snake, and slowly released the darkness, careful not to accidently kill the Uchiha's heir, though I wouldn't mind that.

After the darkness had eaten up the snake, Sasuke laid there, limp. To tell the truth, I began to worry. But why? I never ever worried for others…..EVER!

I bent down and felt for a pulse. 'Good, there's still one.' I thought in relieve. I had to get away from the smell of snake blood since it was just killing me, so I literally dragged Sasuke into his room. (since I'm physically weak for a Ninja)

I began wiping his forehead with a wet towel. When did I begin to care if people died or not? I thought to myself. I guess Sasuke was I would consider an ally.

"K-kat-katsumi," he strained to talked.

"Shut up, baka," I lashed at him. I didn't want to sound cruel, but all my life, that's the only way I've talked, so I guess it came up like that.

"Is he dead?" He sat up and winced at the pain.

"Yeah……..and sorry about the darkness," I actually felt kind of bad, since it was me that got him this hurt. I didn't have perfect control over that technique yet.

"Hn," He just said, "I need to find Suigetsu, Karin, and Juugo from the other hideouts." I knew that he wasn't going to say it, but he wanted me to come along.

"My mission is done," I looked at him, "so I need to report to leader-sama." He just gave me a death glare.

"But," I started, "I'm going your way anyways, so what the heck?" I rolled my eyes and I swore I saw his smile, but it turned to a smirk as quickly as it appear.

"Good, I'll need your help,"

So………….HOW WAS IT?

Good?

Bad?

Touching?

Eatable?
