Chapter 1: Akatsuki

I wandered aimlessly around the woods hoping to find something to entertain me when I stumbled across two people in a small clearing. A man with red hair was talking to some blonde lady, with a bad attitude. They were arguing over what true art is. I hid in the bushes and watched as the debate went on for hours. Finally the two left muttering something about their leader. I followed out of curiosity. After a few miles, they arrived at a small three story building in the middle of the woods. (A/N weird I know) A sign outside the door read "Evil Akatsuki Lair… DO NOT ENTER". I sweatdropped and followed the two inside.

The inside of the building was dull and colorless. (A/N my favorite.) I stood in the doorway in disbelief. There was a long wide hallway lined with doors, three on each side. As I passed the doors I found each door was labeled with a name. Names like; Itachi, Tobi, Deidara…

I fell to the ground as the door that read "Tobi" swung open. I squirmed on the ground like a fish out of water. A man with an orange mask that looked like a lollipop stared down at me.

"What are you doing here Lady?" he asked.

"Ow ow ow…" I answered still rubbing my throbbing head.

The lollipop dude ran down the hall yelling; "SEMPAI! SEMPAI! SEMPAI!"

I'm in trouble. I thought. Seconds later the lollipop head returned with the same blonde woman I saw earlier. Closer examination showed me this was actually a man. He scowled at me and grabbed my arm, forcing me up.

"We don't like trespassers. Who are you and what do you want, un?" he asked.

"Deidara, step aside." A cold harsh voice said. The blonde guy named Deidara set me down and stepped aside. The person I saw was the most intimidating thing I had ever seen in my entire life. He had three studs on each side of his nose, piercings all up and down both ears, rods through both ears, and two fang - like piercings just under his lower lip.

"How did you find this place?" he asked me.

"Well," I smirked. "It's kinda obvious when you have a sign outside that says 'Evil Akatsuki Lair… DO NOT ENTER' don't you think?"

He stayed silent, and then walked out the door. I heard a sound of something being broken in half. He walked back into the room holding the sign, now broken into tiny pieces.

"That takes care of that problem…" He trailed off.

I somehow got into the Akatsuki and a new room was added. Shortly after I settled in my cell rang.

"Hello Kat. What have you been up to?" Rukai asked. (A/N a friend of mine. Her middle name means death so I thought her name should mean the same thing.) I explained everything about the day's strange events and about the leader named Pein. She asked me how hot he was. I answered with a simple "Um- um- I…"

A knock on the door startled me into dropping the phone. As the cell landed the speaker button was pressed allowing Rukai to hear everything. Pein closed the door behind him.

"Your new uniform is ready. Here." He tossed it at me from across the room.

"Thanks Pein, for letting me join. And – um – I…" A dark blush spread across my pale face. Pein glared at me wondering what was on my mind. He stepped closer and my blush darkened.

"Tomorrow, your job is to get all of the members up for breakfast." he finished.

Morning came early to me as the alarm rang in my ear forcing me up. I gave up on my appearance when Pein called me to his room over the intercom. I stepped into the dark room and up to Pein's desk.

"Some of the members may become irritated with you for waking them but, that's to be expected." He stared at me with tired eyes. I stepped closer to his desk and what was tired became surprised and wide. A small blush spread across his cheeks. I glanced down at my wardrobe; silk see through – ish button up top and shorts to match. A dark blush spread across my face and I stepped back towards the door. Pein shook his head to (maybe) clear it.

"I already knew that Pein-sempai. Is there anything else I need to know?" I asked. Pein stared at me; he focused on my eyes which scared me a little. Until he smiled. I blushed again and tried to hide it. Pein saw through my disguise and sent me off on my morning mission.

KISAME'S ROOM:

"Kisame! GET UP!!" I shouted. Shortly after two minutes of no answer, a kicked the door as hard as I could. "GET UP DAMMIT!!" Kisame then opened the door, threatened to kill me, and walked to the kitchen.

ITACHI'S ROOM:

"Itachi, your turn. Get up." I stood in the open doorway of the heavily snoring Itachi. I grabbed the nearest thing, a flower pot, and threw it at Itachi. The ceramic pot landed just above the bed showering Itachi with the broken pieces. Itachi quickly jumped up and looked around.

"Where am I and who are you? How did I get here?" he asked.

"Itachi, breakfast time." I replied not answering his question. Itachi nodded and walked towards the open door only to miss it and ram into the wall.

"Ow." he said as he fell.

SASORI'S ROOM:

"Wake up Sasori." I said. Sasori was already up apparently 'cause he opened the door right as the words left my mouth.

TOBI'S ROOM:

I only just arrived at the door when it flung open and smacked me in the face.

"Ow." I complained as I hit the floor. Tobi stepped out of his room and shouted; "Good morning! Did Tobi hit Kat-chan with the door again?" I glared up at the orange masked face.

"It's ok Tobi. I'm fine." I answered.

DEIDARA'S ROOM:

"Get up Deidara." I said. The door angrily flew open and smacked me in the face, again. Deidara bounced up shocked at what he had done.

"Oh my god! Are you alright Kat, un?" He asked.

"No, my face hurts." I whined. "That's the second time today."

"I'm so sorry Kat. Can I make it up to you some how, un?" he asked.

"No." I replied.

KAKUZU'S ROOM:

"Kakuzu-" I stopped short when I noticed a note on the door. It read; "OFF ROBBING BANKS AND STORES. WILL BE BACK IN TIME FOR DINNER."

ZETSU'S ROOM:

Zetsu strolled out of his room just as I walked up, giving the hungry stare. I caught a glimpse of his room. Filled with, plants, what else?

I had never seen a kitchen so packed. Everyone was sitting around a rectangular table. Three spots were left; Pein, myself and anyone who sat at the other spot. Pein came down the stairs in his boxers. I turned as I heard him come down; his boxers were ocean blue with a silver fish pattern. He stopped at the bottom of the stairs. A small blush covered his cheeks.

"I should go put more clothes on shouldn't I?" he asked.

"Doesn't bother me." I replied blushing as well. Deidara, Itachi, Tobi and I finished breakfast early and Deidara started to show me around when we spotted a girl in the hallway by the door.

"Intruder!" Deidara yelled. Itachi swung around hitting the girl in the forehead making her pass out.

"Where? Where?" Itachi asked.
