A/N: Please leave reviews! This is my first fanfic, so that'd be helpful. (I'm sorry if this story sucks...XD) I'll continue adding chapters if you guys want me to. Have a nice day!

I squinted as bright light flooded my eyes. I tried to move, but I found that my hands were tied behind me and my legs were tied to the chair I was sitting on.

"What is the meaning of this?" I heard a voice to my right. It belonged to my best friend of 16 years, Yuudai.

"Yuudai?" I struggled against the ropes around my wrists. "Where are we?"

"I...I don't know, Kameyo," he said, "All I remember, after we left the village—"

"I want to go home…" Someone whimpered next to me. It was my other best friend, Mitsu. I had met him when I was 7, but 9 years later, he hasn't gotten any braver. "I just want to—"

"We can't go home," I sighed, looking at my feet, "It's gone."

Ever since we were dared to steal those stupid scrolls by my older brother, our lives have been turned upside down. He made us learn the techniques, saying that we would 'fit in'. I can't believe we took him seriously. Our powers spiraled out of control, destroying the village and everyone in it. I still remember the mess I made, objects flying everywhere, hitting everything. Ripping buildings from the ground. Mitsu created a deadly stampede of creatures, trampling anything in its path. Yuudai raised a mountain under the city, sending any remaining buildings tumbling to the ground.

Suddenly, two figures blocked the cave's entrance. We looked up. A tall man with orange hair peered down at us. A purple haired woman stood silently by his side. They were both dressed in black cloaks with red clouds.

The man spoke, "You're here because we've seen what you did to your village."

Mitsu moved around in his chair. "We really didn't mean to—"

"We know you didn't," the man continued, "But you're here because we like what we saw."

"I'm Konan," The purple haired woman introduced herself, "And this is Pein. We're part of an organization called the Akatsuki. We could use those powers of yours to...reach our goal."

"And what's your goal?" Yuudai asked quietly.

Pein smirked, "You'll find out soon enough."

I looked around at the Akatsuki's hideout. It was a one story building situated in a large rock formation.

"You can explore," Konan opened the door and stepped inside. "We usually work in pairs, so you three decide a pair amongst yourselves and the other will be assigned to someone else. All the Akatsuki are on missions, but they'll be back soon enough and you can meet them."

I nodded and walked around the hideout. To my left was a kitchen and to the right was the living room. In front of me was a hallway, lined with doors. At the end of the hallway was a door labeled 'Leader-sama's Office'.

"Kameyo," Yuudai called.

"Yes?" I turned around.

"You go be partners with Mitsu, I'll be paired up with whoever it is."

"But—"

"No," he smiled. "It's fine. I'll be fine."

"Okay." I patted him on the shoulder.

I heard loud voices coming from outside.

"SHUT UP TOBI, OR I'LL BLOW YOU UP, UN!"

"But sempai, Tobi wants to be partners with you—"

"Too bad! Sasori-danna is my partner. Leave me alone!"

"Will you two shut the hell up already? My fucking ears are bleeding!"

"Would you like me to cut them off, Hidan? I could always sew them back on."

"KAKUZU, I SWEAR TO JASHIN I WILL—"

Suddenly, the door swung open. 8 people stood at the doorway. A man with silver hair pushed to the front and squinted his violet eyes at us.

"Who the fuck are these midgets?"
