This is my first story so bear with me. It might be crappy but oh well. I'm not really... um... that old. So... yeah. –Awkward.-

Linda, do the damn disclaimer to rid me of the awkwardness.

Linda: Of Course.

Me: Thank yew, luff.

Linda: Aleyah-chan does not own the Akatsuki nor Naruto, if she did, Sasuke-teme would be dead by now and the Akatsuki would be alive and be the good guys. Masashi Kishimoto owns Naruto.

Me: Right. Thanks. Now. ON WITH ZE SHOW... or whatever it's called.


FurryPaws: Akatsuki

Chapter One: Panic and Nauseous Air Fresheners.


Hello, wonderful, crappy readers. Just kidding, you're not crappy... I think. Oh well.

Anyhow, let me introduce my retarded self. I am Aleyah Soyoukai. No, I am not Japanese. No, I am not some little girl.

I, am a soon-to-be eighteen year old, adult, female that happens to probably be the biggest Akatsuki otaku out there.

Like, seriously; I worship the Akatsuki like they're Gods or something, and I'm not kidding. I have an Akatsuki necklace, a set for the Akatsuki rings, and a bunch of other merchandise that you probably would fall asleep while listening, or in this case, reading if I listed it. Hehe...

Enough about the epic Akatsuki, let me continue describing myself. I am a normal height for my age, I have waist-long, straight, flowing, soft dark brown hair. My skin is dark-ish. It's a cream colour, the kind of colour that you'd see on mixed Chinese peeps. This is because I come from Bulgaria. Yay.

I wear usual female teenager clothes; skirts, shorts and short shorts, jeans, shirts, jackets, tops, some revealing clothing, stuff like that. Although, I do wear mostly black and I am kind of... Goth. Yeah, I guess you can say I'm a careless bitch. Oh freakin' well.

Currently I live in a two-bedroom house, alone, with my eleven-year old female German short-haired pointer. She's a bit over-weight, but no worries. Although, I do worry about the day she might die.

So, since my stupid parents who don't know crap about me realize this obvious fact, they gave me money to buy other pets; as much pets as I like.

So, oblivious to the... thing I'm about to witness, I grab my wallet, put the leash on my dog, Linda, and start walking towards the door, a smile on my face. I was currently wearing a black string tank top accompanied by black short shorts. No, I don't wear the string tank tops that only cover the boobs, Actually, the only places visible on the upper part of my body are the chest (the part that is usually visible, perverts) and the place between the short shorts and only an inch above my belly button.

Seeing my parents waiting for me in their car, I waved, a smile on my face, and walked towards them, holding Linda firmly since she tends to pull... a lot. Yeah, we haven't really taught her manners. Oops.

My mom had this dark reddish hair and brown eyes, similar to mine, while my father had black hair and dark brown eyes. Everyone always tells me I look more like my father, poor ol' me... Oh well.

I got in the grey coloured car and they started driving us towards the pound. Let me tell you, the ride was not pleasant. Mostly because of the horrid smell of the air freshener, it makes me nauseous.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Akatsuki POV}

Y'know, for all those people out there that say being a dog is a blast, here's something to prove them wrong. The Akatsuki, now in their dog forms, were, well, most of them, in full out panic mode. Tobi was chasing his tail and flopping on his ass due to agitation, along with whimpering. Deidara was looking at the other dogs in cages across, and was trying every possible tactic to escape. Hidan was trying to bite the metal bars off, while Kakuzu and Kisame were trying to climb over the wall. At last, Pain snarled at them, which of course stopped those neanderthals' bickering. They all gathered in a circle, with Tobi still whimpering like a maniac.

"Itachi, who do you think did this to us, and how long do you think we will stay like this?" Pain inquired, his tone frighteningly low, though for people, it would seem like a growl.

"Pain-sama, it would seem that Konoha transformed us into canines. During my time in the ANBU I had heard them talking about a technique that turned the victim into an animal, most likely a canine forever and send them to another world." Said person replied, his face serious, though calm.

Pain nodded, and once again turned to everyone else and spoke, "If anyone here is adopted without the rest of us, you will find a way to escape from home and roam this place for a month and a half, and if you have found no one during that time, return to your owner. And, make sure to gain the trust of whoever adopts you." Though, the last bit was directed more towards Hidan and Deidara than anyone else.

The group nodded and went off to do their own thing, awaiting for someone to adopt them. Though, they soon found a girl, looking about eighteen years old watching them, so they stared back, still in anticipation.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Back to Aleyah's POV}

As we walked through the dog-filled kennel, we saw ten Labrador puppies packed into one enclosure. Y'know, that wasn't the most disturbing part of the scene. The most disturbing part was that most of the puppies were the most unusual colours... ever. We walked towards the enclosure and looked at the puppies.

They seemed to be talking amongst each other, and when we walked up to them, they all turned to stare at us. One was an orange colour with grey specks on its face and ears and had what seemed to be... ringed? Eyes. Whenever it barked, the other pups seemed to turn to look at it and immediately stopped whatever they were doing.

The next puppy was... interesting. It was black on one side, white on the other with yellow eyes. A thought occurred to me. I wonder if it's like that all the way down... Though I quickly pushed the thought away and continued inspecting the other pups.

The next one was black, pretty normal. It had black – no, red. No, wait, black, no, red; oh fuck it. It still seemed pretty normal.

Now, the next one was normal, though, it had blue eyes. Labradors don't have blue eyes, right? Well, this one had blue eyes. And it was yellow, like, blonde yellow. It also seemed to have a bit of fur covering its left eye.

A huge one I noticed, probably the biggest one there, was brown, but, it was a light brownish colour, had green eyes, and seemed to have stripes... but... the stripes seemed like stitches. Weird. Hmm..

The second biggest one was a pale blue colour, with black eyes and...gills? Or what seemed to be gills under its eyes.

Next was a pretty little purple-ish lab, and it seemed feminine, so I guessed it was a female. Her eyes were a blue-ish purple colour.

After that, was a silver dog, with magenta eyes and it was eyeing a place I would rather not have animals and people alike looking at. The brown stitch dog snarled at it, and it seemed to bark back at an extremely loud volume. A volume that a dog like that shouldn't have the right to possess.

The last one was black but had this orange lollipop swirl on its face and black seeming eyes... Strange, ne?

After looking them all over, I had the infamous WTF look on my face.

Well, it must have been the WTF look because one of the personnel came over and began explaining to us, but I failed to notice my dog letting out low growls at the puppies.

"We do not know why they look the way they do. We found them together on a street and they looked relatively lost, so we took them together, since they seem to have established some kind of hierarchy. They definitely aren't related, and if it were any other dogs they would probably have started attacking each other. We're hoping someone will buy them together, though, then again, nothing is guaranteed. The only female is the purple one. Would you like to buy any of them?" The girl staff said, her blue eyes looking over the puppies with worry as she said the last part.

I though this over and after a debate with myself that seemed to last ten minutes, I glanced over the stiff dogs to the staff member and said with a smile, "I would like all of them."

Well, it sure seemed that my parents along with the staff person were baffled, since all of their eyes significantly widened, more so than they should be able to.

After a lot more debate and stuff, we finally bought them and the friendly staff member handed us nine leashes for all of them which I gladly accepted. The pups seemed to be glad to be out of their not-so-spacious enclosure because the yellow and silver one practically jumped out of the tiny space while the others, besides the black one with the orange swirl that ran around, walked calmly.

The ride home was... quiet, though interesting. The silver one kept trying to sneak a peak at my... ehm.. treasure, while the brown one with the stitches always snarled at it when it tried to do that. My parents were silent. The black one, the orange one and the purple female seemed to be talking to each other, the yellow blonde one seemed to growl at the black one with the orange 'mask' that barked playfully at it. Overall, it was very unusual behaviour.

My parents soon dropped me off after we visited a shop or two to get all of the necessities for the pups. I said my goodbye to my parents and, of course, lead my insane puppies and Linda back in the house, letting the pups run loose while I put everything in place. Then, I called all of the dogs, and surprisingly, they came.

"Okay, creepers, it's time to name you!" I boomed, a more or less evil smile crossing my features.

The dogs seem to look around and back away, as if they were scared, which they probably were.

I frowned and grabbed the nearest one, which happened to be the black one with the black-red eyes and set it on my lap and began petting it. Well, it seemed to hate me since it tried to squirm out of my grasp.

Oh well, a lot of things hate me..

"Well, you seem like you hate me... Though, you did seem rather nice when I first met you. Bad puppeh. I'll call you...Shady. I know it's a crappy name, deal with it. " I spoke, my voice serious yet gentle, since I didn't want to hurt the pup's feelings.

I looked over at the other pups and they seemed to be... laughing?

Nobody's POV}

"Pfftthahahahaha!" Hidan was the first to start the wave of laughter. In fact, the only person who didn't even smile was Pain. Deidara soon followed Hidan's booming laughter and then the rest followed, while Kakuzu and Konan only let out a chuckle.

Poor Itachi, having to be named such a un-original name. Oh well.

In-between laughs, Kisame managed to utter a few words. "At least she didn't name you Weasel, eh?"

This lead to another wave of laughter, until Aleyah stopped it by scolding them, actually gently patting Hidan's head when he didn't stop, though she did make sure it hurt a little, and that sent Hidan into a swearing frenzy, until, of course, Kakuzu bit him in the back of the head since he didn't shut the hell up.

"Right, now for the next one..." Next in line for torture was poor Deidara. He let out a small growl, though he was quickly shushed by Pain, him saying that they would need to gain the human's trust.

"Wow... If I didn't know any better, I would say you were Deidara from the anime Naruto, though I know that isn't true." Aleyah muttered, petting Deidara's head gently, a sad smile on her lips.

Though, when she said that, all of the pups' heads turned to her, and their eyes seemed to widen a tad bit. Aleyah noticed this though she waved it off, and proceeded to name the poor puppy in her hands.

"I'll call you... Hige, from the anime Wolf's Rain, since he was rather yellow like you." She said with a smile, letting 'Hige' go back to the group. His name was better than Itachi's but still. Everyone was still too baffled at the fact that she knew about them to laugh or even do something when they heard his name though. Deidara simply shrugged, though his eyes were wide slightly as well.

Next in line was Pain himself. For this one, Aleyah was quick to think and soon named him Spot, mostly due to the spots on his face. Pain debated whether they should kill her or not, due to his given name, but decided against it, after all, where would they go if she died? No matter how humiliating his name was, no one dared even smile, they just stayed in perfect silence, and Pain was glaring daggers at them, daring them to do anything.

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Aleyah swiftly picked up an unsuspecting Hidan, who in turn snarled, though was silenced by a glare from Pain.

"Hmm... Your name will be... Fang." Aleyah spoke with a grin, swiftly setting him down and grabbing Tobi before he could run away. Deidara couldn't help but laugh at Hidan's name, which of course got him into a skirmish with Hidan, which was quickly ended with a glare from Pain.

Though, soon they all focused on what Aleyah would name poor old Tobi. Seriously though, he was an old hobo, being Madara and all.

"Your name is easy. It shall be Lollipop due to your lollipop orange swirl on your face! Now go so I can finish this naming session quickly." Aleyah gleefully explained, a smile still on her face, and she swiftly set 'Lollipop' down to join the others, who laughed at his name, similarly like they had done to Itachi.

Next one up for torture was Kakuzu, who obeyed her only because of Pain, though if he wasn't here, he was probably going to bite her head off.

"I'll call you Stitch, since you have stitches." His new owner said rather boredly and let him go, grabbing Kisame after he had joined the group. People again laughed at Kakuzu's name, who in turn shot daggers at them.

"I will call you...Jaws, since you remind me of some kind of fish or something... I don't know, I'm brain dead." She spoke quietly, bored with the fact she had to name them all. He took that as a sign he could go now, and thus joined the group, in which only a few dogs laughed this time.

Finally, it was Konan's turn.

"Hmm...I'll name you Violet." Aleyah said with a weak smile, and hugged Konan a little, letting her join the boys. At that, she stood up, and took her phone out, which to the others seemed like a little silver rectangular object. They saw her click something then hold the object to her ear and start talking after a few seconds.

"Yo Grace. Yeah, I'm good. You? Goodie. I got new dogs, wanna come over so we can wash them? I think they got fleas or something... You better come over if you want to live. Good. See you in five minutes. And ask your mother if you can be around mine for a few days, I need someone to help me. Okay. See ya in a few. Bye, love ya." She said this series of sentences in the few minutes and another feminine sound could be heard on the other line while this happened, though the Akatsuki hardly heard it.

After that, Aleyah turned to them with the most evil of grins, and Linda quickly went up to her side, not missing to push Hidan over whilst walking towards her owner, which, of course, started a swearing frenzy (again) and he ended up getting bitten by Kakuzu. Poor immortal..

"Time for washing."

Everything stopped. Hidan stopped mid-swear. Kakuzu stopped mid-bite, and the rest just stared.

And stared.

And stared some more. Then they all turned to Itachi, who simply shrugged. Itachi. Shrugged. Itachi...Shrugged... Wow, this must be the Apocalypse.


Alrighty. I'd like to point out a few things.

I am not close-to-be-18 years old. I do not live on my own yet. My dog is only 6 years old, some of the people mentioned in this story are only my online friends, and... yeah. That's pretty much it.

I know this is crap but, just deal with it. It gets better. :D.

R & R please. Next chapter should be up soon.
