Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Nakita walked through the dark halls of the Akatsuki lair. She had been a member for about a month now and knew her way around well. She missed everyone back in Konoha, but maybe they would be safer without her.

Flashback

Her kidnappers had been carrying her for about a day. They would take breaks after about 9 to 12 hours of running. She didn't try to fight back. For the fact that she had no energy at all. They didn't let her eat, drink or sleep. At night they would take turns making sure she stayed awake. They had taken her almost right after Naruto had finally returned to the village after two years. She was a bit upset. She knew they were going to kill her. Almost right after Naruto had left to years ago. Mizuumi left also, hoping she could learn enough so that she could protect everyone who was important to her. Last thing Nakita had heard was that Mizuumi was in the Sand village. I had been becoming a better ninja in Konoha hoping to impress her and show her I had gotten stronger. I became captain of the ANBU squad. I was really proud of myself. But then I heard Mizuumi was Nikaikage, leader of the waterfall country. All that did was push me to get better. Then it seems while I was sleeping, I was kidnapped. Nakita heard a door open and she was thrown into a dark room. Her binds weren't holding her so she got up and looked around.

"You must be the demon girl" a voice, male, echoed around the room.

"What do you want?" She questioned the voice.

"I want you to join us, the Akatsuki" the voice said confidently.

"And if I refuse?" she called back. The voice chuckled.

"And if you refuse, we shall kill you"

Nakita gulped and nodded. "Fine, you win"

The man laughed again and instantly, an Akatsuki cloak and a ring was put in her arms. The ring said "Flower".

Flashback Ended

She pushed open a room door and her eyes met the figure of a blonde haired, blue eyed boy.

"Good to see you Nakita, un." Her partner, Deidara smirked.

"You too Dei-san" Nakita smiled, "Where is Sasori-danna?"

"He left to work on some of his puppets, yeah." He answered

Nakita nodded. She really had gotten used to everyone here. She was friends with everyone. Even with the leader and Itachi. Problem was, they took advantage of my "womanly skills" and the fact that I was girl. For example, they'd take whatever chance they had to flirt with me. This annoyed me a lot. I felt sorry for Konan when she had to go through all this but she was helpful in keeping me going along with it. I think some of these guys really need girlfriends. The only two guys that weren't perverted to me were my two partners, Deidara and Sasori, and they knew I appreciated their friendship, for they, either then Konan, were my only real friends here. Earlier when I mentioned "womanly skills" I was speaking about all the cooking and laundry and house cleaning I need to do around here. Who knew that some of the Akatsuki men were a slight it sexist, for they are the ones that named my talents as "womanly skills".

Nakita walked out of the Dei's room and went to the room next door. She knew that Sasori-danna didn't appreciate "just walking in" so she knocked.

"Who is it" Sasori's emotionless voice could be heard from the other side of the door.

"Sasori-danna, it's me, do you need anything?" Nakita said politely, still, she had not opened the door.

"Yes, I know you have learned a bit about puppets, so would you mind helping me install a new feature into it?" he asked, now opening the door. Nakita nodded and went into his room and looked at the puppet on his bed.

"What do you need installed Sasori-danna?" Nakita asked.

"I want to place explosive tags, and I know either then Deidara, you are the Akatsuki Explosives expert." Sasori stated.

"Alrite then." Nakita smiled and pulled out some explosive tags from her back pouch. She carefully pried the head of the puppet open and placed the tags in the senbon needle shooter then put the head back together, "Alrite now you should be able to use the senbon shooter to shoot out explosive tags with no trouble"

"Thanks" Sasori nodded. Nakita smiled. Sasori didn't really talk unless it was about puppets. Nakita walked out of the room and went to the kitchen. She checked the clock. Dinner was in two hours. She searched through the cupboards. Definatly not enough food to feed the entire Akatsuki. She sighed. She knew that if she went outside looking like this, someone might try and return her to Konoha, and if they did, the Akatsuki would believe she betrayed them, and they would kill everyone she cared about.

She transformed into her demon half way, so she had brown hair and green eyes. She grabbed a green kimono with plant designs and walked outside. The funny thing was, the hideout was placed right in the middle of a bustling village in the Earth country. She walked out and saw two boys, about 12, who were Iwagakurare shinobi. Luckily, she was good friends with them. They looked at her and smiled.

"Hana-neechan!" one boy called out to her. Hana was her name here. She smiled and patted the boy on the head.

"Good to see you Taro, no missions today? And what about you Pacce?" she asked the two boys.

"Nope!" they both chirped simultaneously.

"I'd love to talk more boys but I need to get some groceries for all my brothers" she smiled. That was another lie. She told everyone that asked that in the hideout lived her nine brothers. And she said she had one sister. Everyone always believed her.

The boys skipped off and she continued down the road. She was about to continue into her favourite shop when someone called out to her.

"Excuse me, miss!"

She turned around when her gaze met the eyes of a boy with blonde hair, blue eyes and the same foxy grin he always had on.
