*Itachi's POV*

I expected to be attacked the moment my partner and I walked into the small village. Within the cover of the night the two of us cautiously walked through the entrance, but someone already beat us there; bodies were scattered around the village, a bloody massacre.

"What happened here?" Kisame asked touching the blood from one of the bodies "It's fresh."

I shrugged and continued down the street, memories of killing my clan flashed through my mind. When the two of us made it to our destination a girl stood there. Her head turned around upon our entrance into the sacred room. Her face was splattered with blood, her eyes were the purest of black and her hair was onyx black while the tips and bangs were dyed ruby red. My eyes caught sight of the medallion she placed into her shirt.

"Shira," a black panther appeared; she jumped on its back "Let's go."

With a leap the two of them disappeared, I walked over to where she was standing. On the table was a note: Too bad, so sad Ichi, you've always been slow I placed it within my cloak and began to leave.

"Pein's going to kill us," Kisame hissed "Do we go back or search for the girl?"

As if on cue Pein's voice rang in our head ordering us back to base. Kisame had his answer and he wondered what was going to happen when we showed up empty handed.

*Deidara's POV*

I took my seat, wondering why the sudden meeting. Pein entered the room with a girl, no a woman, and my question was almost immediately answered. Kisame and Itachi came in a little late; the Uchiha gave her a nod of acceptance while Kisame glared.

"Do you know her?" I whispered.

Itachi glared at me and I averted my eyes. This person had a perfect little body; balanced between height, weight and breast size, her hair down to her waist, low cut shirt with a short skirt.

"This is our newest member," Pein introduced "Mira Uchiha."

"Not another Uchiha," I groaned loosing interest.

"She's not a normal Uchiha," Pein explained "I rescued her from Orochimaru's experiment lab."

"Why would Orochimaru want her?" Kakuzu asked "Is she worth anything?"

"Mira's not a product to be sold," Itachi answered "She's highly skilled in water techniques; unlike most Uchiha's who are fire users."

"Interesting," Sasori commented eyeing the male Uchiha "Sister?"

"Yes," he turned toward the girl pulling out a piece of paper "You forgot something."

She took the note, read it then burned it in her hands. I watched her carefully, she didn't burn it she electrocuted it. Mira never showed a single shred of emotion, I thought Orochimaru turned her into a robot; no emotion, no voice, no mind.

"Deidara, she's going to be working with you closely," Pein informed "So take good care of her. Sasori since you have an extra bed she'll be sharing a room with you."

Sasori nodded and took Mira away, since the meeting was over I went to my room. I closed my eyes laying on my bed, immediately images of Mira Uchiha flooded my mind. I couldn't get her out no matter what I tried.

*Sasori's POV*

"It's getting late," I mentioned "You should get some rest."

"Of course Sasori," Mira's voice was angelic; it took me by surprise "What is Deidara like?"

"He's an arrogant brat who believes that art is fleeting. Loud and obnoxious, he never learnt how to keep his mouth shut."

"We may have issues."

"Oh?"

"I'm short tempered and believe that art is eternally beautiful," she hugged the sheets that she curled under close to her body "Good night Sasori."

She talked like Itachi, a very emotionless voice that held secrets. Mira Uchiha intrigued me, and I figured I could get used to her presence.

*Deidara's POV*

I was finishing my breakfast in the living room. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Tobi snickering near the hallway.

"What are you doing?" I inquired.

"Shh, its Mira's first day," he gestured to the hall.

I heard footsteps approaching, wishing it was someone who would kill him for his trickery. Though Itachi, Sasori, Kakuzu and Pein were already in the room, so there goes that wish.

"Move an inch, lose a limb," an angelic voice warned.

Mira walked into the room and my mouth went dry. She wore ankle boots, a short leather skirt, a red bra with black lace and a leather jacket. She was putting her hair up as she walked into the kitchen. Mira returned with an apple and sat on the arm of the chair Itachi was seated.

"Put a shirt on," he ordered delicately.

"Put a sock in it Ichi," she replied calmly.

"Ichi?" I asked intrigued.

Both Uchiha's glared at me, I shrunk into the couch feeling the weight of their glare. Definitely related. If hey had anything else in common I was going to snap, I could barely handle one Uchiha.

"Miranda," he warned.

Mira's eyes flashed, she got up to go to the kitchen to toss out the apple core flipping her hair water appeared out of no where getting Itachi soaked. She snapped her finger's upon her return, lightly electrifying him.

"Never again," she hissed, Pein moved closer to her.

"Mira, relax," Pein spoke up rubbing her shoulders "You have a mission with Deidara. Go find and bring back this man, alive."

He handed her a picture, she examined it then tossed it to me. How we were supposed to find him, I had no clue.
