It's been ten years since I saw Itachi, and I made a promise to meet him again in the near future...

Flashback

Itachi looked at a young girl with the name of Aku with a blank look ,"Aku when you come home from the academy today I won't be here, but promise me you'll take care of Sasuke until he can fend for himself."

I was confused about the whole situation, what did he mean? " I will Itachi, but what if he can fend for himself after a while... What the second part?" I always knew there was a second part of Itachi's promises.

The elder Uchiha smirked and bend down to my level ," The second part you're longing to know will be found on your bed this evening." He stood up and nodded his goodbye like he always did and fled.

Though knowing me I was so lost in this world, and he was my guide ,but I guess it was time for a change of heart and move on. I got up as well and Sasuke took my hand like usual and walked me to school.

"Hey Onee-chan when we come home from school, can you train with me I feel like I almost got my shuriken technique down. Though it needs some work," Sasuke smiled and asked with his young childish voice. Who am I to blame I'm no older than him myself.

"Sure Nii-san , I could use some improvement as well..." I trailed off still wondering what Itachi-san was planning.

Later that Night

I walked home, though I was later than usual. "I wonder is Nii-san is mad at me for not showing up to practice with him today?" I thought it was not that big of a deal there's always tomorrow. Making it home I walked through the gates to see that everyone was slaughtered, and decapitated. The scene made my heart stop and choked me. "Itachi was p-planning this?" I stuttered upon my own words in shocked. I kept walking until I reached home to get tackled by a person. Looking up I saw Sasuke crying and scared.

"W-What happened?" Still stuttering upon my words, to scared as well to correct them.

"I-Itachi...C-Clan...Blood...Killing...Mom...Dad..." he was was so confused he couldn't make out sentences. Shaking he held tighter afraid he was next.

I got up and held him, luckily he was light enough since he was bigger than me ," I-It's okay for now, h-here I got to go h-home to pick up s-something, okay?" I ran like there was no tomorrow to my room to see a clean envelope on my bed. Walking over to it I picked it up and read it,"

The second part of my promise it that when Sasuke can fend for himself and you're strong enough. Is to meet me in the forest located outside of the Sand Village. There lies a base with a seal on it, meet me there in 10 years. On this exact day.

-Itachi"

I sighed at the jagged writing and put Sasuke to bed for now...

End of Flashback

Well now it's time I complete my promise. I followed the directions on the letter and walked up to the base ,"well this is pretty dull for camouflage." The base was to obvious to notice. Looking around I saw Itachi and a orange hair guy standing in front of it.

"So you finally came , we've been expecting you," the orange hair man spoke. He looked like the leader but again didn't. Itachi walked up next to him.

"Well now that you've came and kept my promise, I have one question. Will you join me in this organization?" His voice was blank and dull like it always was.

Though I've seen the cloaks many times before and thought ," Akatsuki Organization..." Well Sasuke was out on his own and I have nothing to lose, so might as well ," Yes Nii-san." The answer pleased him and he nodded towards the man which seemed like a order. The man nodded back and opened the rock that sealed it.

"Now I guess it'll be proper to introduce the rest of the members..." Revealing the members there stood about 7-8 of them. Some were anxious and some weren't, but I wouldn't be surprised. I walked closer up and looked at all of them. The position they were standing looked like they were in groups of two.

"This is Konan, Hidan, Kakuzu, Sasori, Deidara, Kisame, Zetsu, and I'm Pein." Pein pointed out each one of them, but all of a sudden a man with a mask came rushing out ," And don't forget Tobi!" Pein sighed and looked like he wish Tobi didn't come out ,"...and this is Tobi, he's a bit of a moron." I managed a little smile towards Tobi stupidity.

" I can manage a little stupidity every now and then." Tobi looked at me through that mask of his and before I knew it I was on the ground with him above me.

"Really! Yay someone who won't get annoyed by me!" he did a little dance and dragged me into it. The others was standing there either laughing or scared what Pein might do. The leader stood up and yelled to the top of his lungs.

"Tobi you little-! Let go of her!" he hated Tobi screwing up things especially greetings and introduction. He calmed down a bit, knowing Tobi won't listen anytime soon and everyone walked in , as so did I. Pein continued to cuss out Tobi with Hidan for rudeness and I remembered everyone was in groups of two and had their names on each room. I passed all of them reading them out of boredom.

"Sasori and Deidara, Zetsu and Tobi, Konan and Pein, Hidan and Kakuzu, Itachi and Kisame..." then it hit me, who's my teammate? I walked out of the hallways to Pein's office and knocked on the door ," It's Aku..." I heard a little movement then a voice.

"Come in, it's open..." it echoed, obviously Pein. Walking in he was sitting in his chair looking straight at me. It didn't bother me much since I was used to looking people straight in the eye, especially Itachi.

" Umm, I was walking around outside the bedrooms and noticed at the members have their roommate and teammate... So I was wondering who'll be my teammate?" I sat down in the chair in front of his desk and gave him a chilling look straight in the eye trying not to imitate my brother.

Pein nodded and thought for a moment. It was silent but not completely, you can hear Hidan ranting out Kakuzu, Tobi annoying Deidara, and Deidara yelling back, and Sasori arguing about art with Deidara. It seemed endless, but it was my new home now. Pein finally looked up from his papers and thinking ," I'm pairing you up with Konan, since I guess you'll be more comfortable with a girl for now."

The "now" part was chilling but I guess he meant he'll pair me up with a boy soon. Though it seems fair for now. I got up and left looking for this Konan, though I wouldn't be hard since she was a girl. I figured she was the blonde and I walked up to her ," hey are you Konan?" I asked with innocence. The Blonde blew up angry and turned to me,

"I'm a boy! I'm Deidara!" He wasn't to pleasant that I thought he was a girl. Everyone looked at us and laughed, so I kindly responded to him for giving me such an attitude,

"Well no need to get angry now but I suggest you work on not sitting, walking, talking, acting, dressing, and even looking like a girl. Okay Deidara?" I gave him a cold look and everyone laughed some more. He turn bright red and hid his face. I ruffled his hair and left, to see a girl with blue hair standing there," please tell me your Konan and a girl," I was grieved from embarrassment of thinking a guy was a girl. She turned and looked at me ,

"of course, you must be that newbie Aku, right?" she smiled. She seemed friendly and I nodded. Konan smiled some more ,"well almost time for bed, say why don't we get you settled in?" The delicate girl took me to our room which already had our names on it and put my stuff away ," you can have top, if you want." I nodded and sat on the top bunk and slowly dozed off. Though before I did I heard Konan mumbled something ," I hope we can become good friends, Aku" I rolled over saying one thing before going to sleep,

"Hopefully..."

Well this is the end of my first Naruto Fanfic. I know it's kind of long but hey it's an introduction they can be kind of long^^. Hope you like it and see you in the next chapter.
