Pein toss and turn in his sleep again, his dreams were filled with everything he wished he forget. This is why he hates to sleep it brings back memories…..

Morning light had not shown itself and will not for a couple of hours and yet, Pein was up and he sitting in his bed. Hands on his head trying to shake the memories away but like ghost they stayed haunting him. He was shaking of not fear but of guilt, sadness……………….. himself………………..

'Why …………why does it all ways come back' he yelled in his mind. He started to get up and walk to the bathroom staring at the floor the whole way. Sweat was dripping down his face. He punched the nearest thing to him in anger which happened to be the bathroom sink or used to be. He got into the shower (un-dressed now) turning it on as hot as it would go making the bathroom instantly misty. He was leaning his head on the wall in front of him felling the cold wall against his head VS the hot steam and water. Was like a wakeup call and helped clear his head. 'It has been happening a lot lately' he thought to himself while he let the hot liquid run down his back ' me falling asleep randomly. This being the 5th time this week' and to Pein sleep was useless instead he would train, plane tactics, do missions, or find info from other villages. He would, most of the time, be on missions.

He would not tell anyone where, how long, or how many missions he was doing. He was the Akatsuki leader he will do the hardest and the most missions. No matter how many injures he had he would push himself even to the brink of death, but he would walk in as if nothing happened even know all the Akatsukis could hear the coughing of blood inside his room. It was like he was mute to pain, and even if he was in pain, no one could tell. They all feared him greatly! Not because he seemed to have one emotion and that was anger, but because he seamed invincible. Nothing could hurt him, know him, be near him, or be a weakness.

Coming out of the shower with a towel around his waist and his coat in his hand, He tossed his coat on his bed, then he turned to his dresser and started to get dress ending with pants, shoes and his Akatsuki coat on. His Akatsuki coat was not zipped up yet revealing his tan skin and his 6 pack. He didn't were a shirt under the coat figuring it hot enough with the coat why would you need a shirt to add to it.

Finally sitting down at his desk, a hand on his chin, beginning to regaining his usual composure and started to think of what he had for the day. He knew he had 9 missions; three were going to the Akatsukis and the other 6 he was going to do. He thought one they were too hard for the other Akatsuki and he should do them any way. Now ready with his composure in check and started to get up, zipping his coat up and activating his cloaking jutsu. Not only did he hide what he looked like he also hid his name, jutsu, personality, weaknesses, strength, anything personal was hidden. He was leader-sama and that's all the Akatsukis knew.

Coming out of his room to the hall way while juggling 9 scrolls and opening the door to the meeting room to his Akatsuki members. As always he holds a meeting every morning to give them missions or see what supplies they needed to go on missions for that also. Sitting down at his chair he puts the scrolls in piles, six in one and three in the other, but of course the Akatsukis already knew which pile went to whom. "Akatsukis I have but only three missions to give out. Sasori and Diedara you are going to you are going to ambush a leaf village camp, Tobi you are going to steal a scroll from a secrete shrine, and Itachi go spy on your brother and Orochimaru." He said each command while tossing the mission scrolls to them "the rest of you go train I will be going on my missions as well so I better come back to a hide out and not a crater" he said the last part in a angry tone and directed at Diedara. Of course everyone got up and left for their missions or training (Diedara the fastest) while Pein started looking through his missions, for the last time before going.

------------------------------ 4 day's later (5 missions)----------------------------------------

Pein had went through 5 mission with only a broken arm, three broken ribs, five stab wounds, and a couple of bruises and scratches here and there. But he had 1 mission left and the hardest, so he pushed the pain away and went on. Pulling out the scroll to refresh the goal of this mission and began to read………..

Stop an attack and terminate the attackers on the Fusha trade center. A vital area for the goal.

Of course Pein had written the scroll but he want to make sure he didn't skip any of his mission so made scrolls for himself also. Coming up to the army he was going to attack he chose to stop to take a break from all the running he had just did. Surveying the army, it was huge estimating of 6,000 people and hoping they were not that strong, considering his wounds he already has and weighing his options he chose to chance it with a non-stealthy attack. He quickly flashed in front of the arm and started to attack with no pause in between the actions. He slowly but steadily dwindled the numbers down but what he didn't expected was that wasn't all of the army considering it was already huge. For while he was finishing the army up, some one aimed a jutsu right at him and Pein seeing it coming tried to move but didn't.

It hit him so hard he started to fly across the battle field for at least a mile going through many trees and landing on the ground creating a crater. "Why didn't I move……….." was all Pein could think before realizing he had been darted with paralyzing poison. For a moment Pein lade, his inter body stinging with pain, while the army circled the crater with a 2 foot radius. Pein knew he had to finish this soon and by soon he meant now. Knowing he had little chakra and little time before his cloaking jutsu would stop working. Trying to forget about the pain, he pushed chakra through his body forcing it to move. Standing up shakily he looked around, the entire army was around him. He jumped up out of the hole getting into a shaking fighting stance. The army laughed "you expect to kill all of us" the leader figure stated in a mocking tone "in that shape". "well I guess so" Pein answered with a barrel readable smirk on his face(his cloaking jutsu is still up). The army looked suddenly confused and somewhat frighten. With that Pein made a quick movement of hands, then slamming his palms to the ground in a matter of seconds. The army froze and then looked around nothing happened. The leader figure laughed once again "look, not even enough chakra to do a jutsu". Pein laughed evilly this time looking up with that same smirk "you're done for". The ground turned it to lava instantly of course killing everybody but him because he was using a walking on lava jutsu. The only reason it took so long to perform the jutsu was because he pulled that lava up from the mantel. Getting up off his knees he was suddenly struck with a konin in his chest. He froze….. First looking down at the knife in his chest then to the attacker. It was Orochimaru. Instantly angry, Pein glared at him and without a word. His eyes turned a light orange, the sky turned gray and Orochimaru ran for it. (lol)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pein started to walk into the woods as rain started to poor down. He knew this was going to be the end. He was limping, his hand on his chest with the konin still there (not wanting to remove it yet until he had some medical supplies so he didn't bleed to death) and the other arm was helping him stay up walking. The paralyzing poison had also been a nerve poison making everything twice as pain full. His vision began to blur as his cloaking jutsu dissipated. 'This was the end' he thought again. He slip down to his knees feeling the rain down his face. He had hoped not to die this early but nothing could be done at this point. Falling the rest of the way to the ground and turning to face the sky. Thinking of all thing he hadn't got to do yet in his life and all the things that went rough. His fission had not quit gone yet. The rain was still poring while the wind blew at the trees. His vision started turning black when……. Some started to shake him "hello….." his eyes opened as much as they could to see a blue haired women was holding him in her lap. He had no idea why he started to think this but he thought it. 'minis well cross one of those thing I haven't done yet of my lists'. He reached up and pulled her head to him and kissed her for a good minute, and then…………BLACK.
