'Word'=thought
Me: Naruto belongs to Kishimoto
Lightning crackled over head as the blonde girl shivered beneath the tree. Her parents had died two years ago when the Kyuubi attacked. Her father sealed the beast inside her newborn brother, Naruto. Her mother, her sweet, kind mother, had died because of it and now the child had no one. Because of her brother's demon the village she called home turned their back on her. She lived on the street, hid from villagers who would kill her if they had the chance and stole to live. And to top it off now the Sandaime wouldn't let her see her baby brother. The five year old looked up at the storm filled sky and smile sadly when the rain began to fall. The rain was the only thing ever able to comfort her. It was at that moment she felt chakra behind her. She froze as the chakra grew closer. Soon an orange haired man and a woman with an origami flower in her hair walked out from the shadow of the trees. The blonde's heart began to race as the woman knelt down in front of her.
"Are you Reimei Namikaze?" she asked.
The child nodded. The woman looked to her companion who grunted. The woman's gaze returned to the child who had walked closer to her.
"My name is Konan and i'm here to take you with me to the Akatsuki. We'd like you to join our little….family. Will you come with us?" she asked.
The child smiled and nodded vigorously. Konan smiled and picked the small girl up and walked over to her partner. When Reimei looked at his eyes she gasped. Her mother had those eyes. She recognized the piercings on his face and said
"Nagato-itoko…"
Pein's eyes widened at her. He hadn't seen Reimei since she was two. How could she remember him? Konan stared at the child as she snuggled closer to her and fell sound asleep. The sky ceased pouring as they left with the Yondaime's oldest child, leaving Kohona, not to return.
At the base a silver haired man was returning from his mission. As soon as he entered he was nearly knocked over by a blonde boy being chased by an annoyed blue man.
"What the fuck Kisame! Why are you chasing Deidara around the fucking base like a fucking pedophile?" he asked.
"Because the little brat poured paint all over Sahameda. How was the mission?"
"Too fucking easy. Where the fuck is Leader and Konan? They said they fucking had something for me and Kakuzu."
Kisame shook his head. "They left an hour ago to do something. They'll be back soon so be ready for whatever."
"Fine, later dumbass." He said walking away.
Finally Kisame realized Deidara got away and started mumbling about stupid evil priests. Hidan continued to walk to his room when he bumped into Sasori.
"Hidan, have you seen gaki?" the puppet asked.
"He was just running from fucking fish face a minute ago. Why?"
"He seems to think that painting my puppets is okay." he answered walking away.
Hidan chuckled to himself. It seemed like the fucking kid had a death wish or something. That's when he noticed paint on his door.
"Oh no fucking way. The bastard better not have…" he said as he opened the door. In side everything looked normal except for black spot on the desk… right where Hidan's other Jashin necklace was. He picked it up to see the pendant dripping with paint.
"DEIDARA YOU FUCKING BASTARD! I'M GOING TO SACRAFICE YOU TO JASHIN-SAMA WHEN I GET MY FUCKING HANDS ON YOU!" Hidan yelled loud enough for the entire base to hear him.
Just as Konan and Pein reach the base they heard Hidan's angry yell. Reimei, who was clutching Pein's cloak for dear life, giggled. They opened the door to see Kisame, Sasori, and Hidan beating up on Deidara. They all looked up and then faced their leader. At this moment Kakuzu walked into the room.
"Kakuzu, Hidan I would like you to meet Reimei. She is the newest member of our organization and I expect you to train her." He told them, pushing the girl in front of him.
"But why should we train this fucking gaki? I'd much rather sacrifice her to Jashin-sama." yelled Hidan.
"Do you know how much a child costs? I don't want to waste money on a gaki like her." Kakuzu said.
"Itoko who are these people?" asked Reimei.
Kakuzu and Hidan froze. 'Did she just say what I think she said?' they thought at the same time.
"These are who you will be living with. I expect you to listen to both of them but mostly Kakuzu." Pein said. The blonde nodded and walked over to the Zombie Twins. She bowed to Kakuzu and glared at Hidan.
"What the fuck was that glare for bitch?" asked Hidan as he slapped her across the face. She held her cheek and looked up in fear. That fear quickly turned to anger as she grabbed a kunai that was on the floor and stabbed Hidan's shin making him groan in pleasure. She looked at Kakuzu.
"Is something wrong with him Kakuzu-san?" she asked.
"What isn't wrong with him?" he asked in response. Reimei shrugged and finally noticed Deidara sitting there.
"Kakuzu-san may I go talk to the boy over there?" she asked.
"Sure, why not." Kakuzu shrugged. Reimei walked over to the boy and sat in front of him.
"Who are you, un?" Deidara asked.
"I am Reimei Namikaze, who are you?" she asked.
"Deidara. You wanna go sculpt Reimei-san, un?" Deidara asked.
"Hai! Let's go Deidara-san!"
When the children left Sasori asked "Why has she been chosen to join the Akatsuki? Does she have a kekkei genkai like Deidara?"
"Yes, it's rare, even more so then the Rinnengan. It is called the Kagan." Pein said before continuing to explain about the Kagan (a/n: to lazy to write explanation in story form so it'll be at the bottom). Every one stared at him, quite shocked that such a small girl could have the potential for such a power.
"How do you know the little bitch has this Kagan thing?"
"Because when we entered Kohona it was a calm, sunny day except for this one ten square foot area which was storming like crazy. In the center of this area was Reimei." said Pein. "She shows signs of it and doesn't even know what's happening." Facing the Zombie Twins he said "Your orders are to raise and train this girl, not sacrifice her, understood?"
"Hai, Leader–sama." They answered.
It was October 10th, exactly three years and since Reimei joined them. Although she always trained with Hidan or Kakuzu she was always with Sasori and Deidara every other time playing, sculpting or doing extra training. She even picked up Deidara's habit of calling Sasori 'Danna'. She spent so much time with them it seemed like Sasori was raising her instead of the Zombie Twins. But that morning Reimei wasn't with Deidara or Sasori at breakfast which meant something was up.
"Sasori, where's Reimei?" asked Kakuzu.
"I'm not sure. Deidara went to get her but she wasn't in her bed." answered the puppeteer. Kakuzu and Hidan's eyes widened for a fraction of a second when they heard that.
"Crap! Where'd that bitch go?" asked Hidan.
"Relax, today's the tenth isn't it?" asked Sasori.
Hidan nodded and Sasori continued "Well, ever since she got here she's disappeared on October 10th and returned."
Kakuzu nodded. "You're right. And now that you mention it she disappears on April 20th also. I wonder why?"
"Who fucking knows."
At this moment they noticed the other blonde was missing.
'Maybe they're together.' They all thought.
Elsewhere Deidara was walking up to a cherry blossom tree near the edge of the barrier. Beneath its yellowed leaves was Reimei with her sketch pad sitting in her lap. She looked up when she heard footsteps. She smiled sadly at him as he sat down next to her.
"He turns five today." She told him.
"Who? ...Your brother, un?" he asked.
Reimei nodded once more and returned to her drawing. Deidara looked over her shoulder to look at it. He saw chibish versions of himself and Reimei snuggled up to Hiruko in a peaceful slumber.
"That's really good Rei-chan, un."
"This? No it's not that good. Especially compared to Danna's puppets. I'm just an amateur."
"Yeah, but you're good for an amateur, un."
"Thanks, Dei-kun. Your sculptures are good for an amateur too. Especially your scorpions." Reimei told him. He blushed and looked away. For awhile silence engulfed the two. Soon Deidara couldn't stand it.
"Why do you come here twice a year? It's like you're trying to disappear, un."
"That's because on those days I AM trying to disappear."
"Why, un?"
"Because one day, today, is the anniversary of my parents' death and my brother's birthday. And the other day …. I just want to spend alone."
"But why, un? And why do you always come home soaked, un?"
"Because on both of those days the sky cries with me."
"Ah. Let's get back to the base, un."
"Alright."
And the two children ran back to their home, giggling like crazy.
Three years later (Reimei and Deidara are 11) Reimei was called into Pein's office. He was assigning her a mission. Apparently a 13 year old named Itachi Uchiha had interested him and wanted him to join Akatsuki. As she was about to accept the mission Hidan started yelling about how she wasn't ready when Reimei did something no one would expect from the normally respectful girl.
"Hidan-sama, shut the fucking hell up or I will have to castrate you." She said without a hint of anger or remorse. She turned back to Pein and accepted the mission. She left the office angrily mumbling about how she'd show Hidan just how ready she was.
When she reached the village a few days later, Itachi seemed to be waiting for her.
"So the, supposedly, most evil ninja organization is sending a little girl after me. Pathetic" he said.
"Uchiha, will you come with me or will I have to use force?" she asked coldly.
"Use force then. I'd like to see your power." He told her.
Reimei sighed and lazily threw several senbon at Itachi, who dodged them effortlessly.
Reimei smirked and mumbled "Katsu." That activated a paper bomb
The ground beneath Itachi crumbled making the Uchiha fall. She heard a poof and cursed. The cold steel of a Kunai was against her throat. It just sat there, waiting for her to move.
"Do it. I dare you." She said coldly. When he didn't she pushed a senbon into his skin. Instantly Itachi felt numb throughout his entire body and collapsed. The blonde girl who had defeated him sighed and took out a small scroll. When she opened it a large, white clay bird appeared.
"Thank you Dei-kun." She said happily. She returned her gaze to the Uchiha and picked him up. After take off Itachi decided to ask who she was.
"Heh, my name is Reimei Namikaze. I am the oldest daughter of the Fourth Hokage." She answered. Itachi was shocked. Reimei? She was reported dead years ago. How could she be alive? Before he could ask the bird landed and he was once again picked up by the blonde kunoichi. The walked into a large cabin where she dropped Itachi's numb body in front of a red haired man with piercings on each side of his nose.
"Here's the Uchiha, Itoko. Danna has the antidote to the numbing poison." She said leaving. The red head squatted down and looked Itachi.
"So Uchiha, Itachi would you like to join the Akatsuki or die where you lay?"
"I'll join." He answered. Pein nodded and another red head forced him to drink a bitter liquid. He soon began regaining feeling in his limbs. When he stood up he was handed a cloak, ring and told to find his new partner, Kisame. As he left he thought one thing 'I will have to find out more about that Reimei girl.'
Ka can be associated with motivation, desire, intention, and an outgoing spirit. Mental and emotional realms, it represents drive and passion. Besides the obvious examples of heat and flame, lightning can also be thought of as an extension of Ka. Because of this, users of the Kagan can control heat, flame and lightning. It is controlled by emotions, mainly Passion, desire, and anger, so when a Kagan user experiences a strong emotion the Kagan springs to life, changing the iris onyx with a crimson ring around the pupil. When young the Kagan is sometimes used unintentionally (Like the storm at the beginning) but without the eye transformation, for it has not completely developed. When the user feels an unnaturally strong emotion for the first time, like desire for revenge*hint, hint*, the Kagan springs to life giving the user complete control over any of the afore mentioned elements. This means, if used properly the user can burn or electrocute a person to death, or even permanently drain heat from a person making their body basically freeze.
Me: Yes! Done!
Ayumi: Shouldn't you be continuing your other stories instead of creating new ones?
Me: But I was inspired. And my muse hasn't helped me with those yet.
Ayumi: Whatever. Review for the Baka please.
Me:I am not a baka!
