My life as a Member of the Akatsuki

Chapter 1. The beginning

It was an early Monday morning. I didn't plan on going on a mission today even though lady Tsunade asked so. I was furious with my village. So much fighting avoided that killed so many… My name is Sára but, my friends call me Arra. I'm girl with blue eyes and dark brown hair and black lowlights. I am a chunin at the moment, just trying to get through life knowing with this war I can never become anything higher…

It was a dark and rainy Monday morning in the region of sand. Today like all days was boring and dull. There was never enough blood splatter for me to see. My name is Airiya; I have dark brown hair and red eyes. As many people of my village have recognized I have a huge thirst for blood and gore. Though it is today I have decided to leave my village in search for a place where my blood thirsty taste is welcomed.

This is our story…

Arra's POV.

I grabbed my long black dress from my closet. It was completely black with slits on the sides so I could run in it. Though no matter how many times I had washed it I could never get that smell of blood off of it. I slip into it and searched for more clothing in my closet.

A dark pair of jeans, a black shirt, a few long dark dresses, were what I tossed onto my bed. I looked farther into my closet to find my katana. I took it out of its dark black sheath to see it was still blood stained. I slipped it back into its sheath and laid it on my bed. I grabbed a couple dozen weapons consisting of kunai, daggers, and many others. I packed all of my things into a medium sized book bag and put my katana on my belt. It was then I started out of my house and made my way to the entrance of the village.

It was silent on my way there. Nobody was out and about at this hour of morning. As I passed Ichiraku Ramen shop, I looked back at it recalling old memories, and then I thought 'What's past is past right? I'll never get out of here if I don't stop recalling the past and lingering here on its essence!' I kept walking, passing old memory filled places but, I didn't stop. When I reached the gate I was stopped by none other than Sakura Haruno, an old friend of mine. We worked on the same squad for some time after Sasuke had left the village.

"Arra what are you doing out this time of the morning?" The pink haired chunin asked.

"I'm going for a walk…" I said bluntly. I always have been bad a lying.

"Then why do you have a sword with you and a backpack" she asked forming tears in her eyes, "You look like…" She straightened up and said, "You're not leaving are you?!"

"Sakura you were a good friend to me also tell Naruto he'd better become more of a challenge to beat before I come back okay?"

"No not again you can't…" just as she spoke I knocked her out and laid her on the park bench.

With the end of that conversation I left my village behind without the tears many others had caused people. For I deserve no tears no matter what others think…

Airiya's POV.

I looked out my window which stared out at the desert. How I longed to get a taste of its freedom and wonderful tragedies. I had no family to teach me right from wrong or to teach me how to love and want peace. I suppose that's why I'm as bloody and well strong as I am. I also have no more friends, something I would have to pick up soon. I then began to think… After many hours of thinking I know what I must do. I walked to my dresser and began searching for clothing to bring with me…

I had just finished packing my clothing when my door bell rung. I walked slowly toward the door guessing who it must have been…

"Airiya I need to talk to you" It was Gaara my ex-boyfriend. I broke up with him when I saw him kissing Mira yesterday. It was part of the reason I have decided to leave this place… To avoid the pain of loving someone… Though even though I realize how gory I am I still am vulnerable to the sensation of… well as some girls might put it "cute guys". Though I wish someone just wouldn't use me for once… Though I can understand that Gaara is the Kazekage and some girls are… a word I should not use…

"What do you want Gaara? Haven't you broken my heart enough? Have you come to finish the job?" I asked, my red eyes actually beginning to form tears… 'Why am I crying? I have no reason to be crying, though I can't seem to stop…'

"Airiya it wasn't what it looked like."

"That's a cheesy line that all guys use when they've cheated on their girlfriend…"

"But, Airiya I love…"

"Save it! I don't need to hear it! Just leave me alone!" I said slamming my door shut. I really didn't want to hear it anymore. I stopped thinking about my situation for a moment and turned on some music… The song was to Zanarkand. It was a classical song but, it did sound beautiful… I stopped listening and packed my clothing into a bag and began on my way to, well anywhere… Anywhere where I was wanted or even just plainly accepted. I walked slowly to the gate of my village and took one last look around... 'It's time to go' I said to myself...
