*Kakuzu's POV*

"How much longer to the fucking village?" Hidan complained.

"We'll be there soon," I told him.

We reached a little village within a couple of hours just as the sun was beginning to rise. What we didn't expect to see was the village already destroyed and flying above the destroyed village was a black dragon with a woman on it. She flew away to the mountains, so we followed, she was watching the scene below with an evil glint in her eyes.

"What do you Akatsuki scum want?" she asked coldly not removing her eyes from the village.

"Are you the Black Dragon Priestess bitch?" Hidan asked.

"So what if I am bastard?" she glanced at us.

"We want you to join the Akatsuki," I told her.

"Name?" she ordered more then asked.

"Hidan," my partner answered.

"Kakuzu," I answered next.

She removed her mask, on her cheek was the symbol for dark dragon "I'll join. Only because my big brother is in the organization."

"What is your real name?" I asked curiously.

"You should know the answer Kakuzu," she smiled sweetly.

"Miko?" She giggled as a response.

"Hey Kakuzu, how do you know this bitch?" Hidan asked.

"Watch your tongue!" she snapped.

"Why should I?" he retaliated.

"Hidan, that's my little sister you're talking to," I warned.

We were in the forest walking back to the hideout in silence, the sun high in the sky, when Miko broke the silence "Is there anyone I need to be warned of?"

"Zetsu is a carnivore, Kisame has a short temper and Itachi is pure evil," Hidan informed her.

"I can't believe you haven't broken the curse yet," I sighed.

"I haven't found love yet," she shrugged "No big deal, I'm in no rush."

We stopped at a mountain, I did some hand signs to reveal the opening to our hideout. She followed me to our leader's office.

"Welcome Black Dragon Priestess," the orange haired man spoke "It is a pleasure to have you join our team, my name's Pein."

"Don't care," she hissed "My name is Miko."

"OK then," Pein blinked "I'm the leader of the Akatsuki, so I give out all missions and partners. Kakuzu will take you to your room; if you need anything just ask."

She bowed and left the office with me close behind "His office is dark."

I showed Miko around the hideout, introducing her to every member that we passed. Finally we made it to her room, it was also very dark, and I chuckled at her facial expression and left her there.

*Miko's POV*

I took a very quick shower, got re-dressed and went to find Kakuzu. I found him in the living room counting his money, I walked up to him looked at the money for a second then at my big brother.

"$3,546," I took a spot on the couch facing him.

"Thanks," Kakuzu put some of his money away.

I swung my feet over the edge of the couch and laid down placing my head on Itachi's lap "What is there to do in this dump anyway?"

Hidan came over and picked me up "What the heck?"

"You're in my spot bitch," he yelled lifting me above his head then dropped me on the ground.

I got up rubbing my ass "Never do that again or else…"

"Miko," Kakuzu warned

I sat on Itachi's lap "You didn't answer my question of what there is to do here."

I felt Itachi tense up as soon as I sat on him, leaning my head against his shoulder. It was going to be fun teasing him while I was here. At least I found some sort of entertainment.

"It depends on what you like to do," Kakuzu answered.

"You really need to ask me that?"

"You can talk to Sasori and Deidara about art, go back to your room to sing and dance or go to the training room to practice."

"That's it?"

"Missions," Kakuzu picked up a new pile of money and tossed it to me "Count this."

I flipped through the cash and tossed it back "$305,068," I told him "I'm going to bed."

I got off of Itachi's lap and went to my room. As soon as the door closed, I jumped on my bed using the pillow to muffle my scream of pain. That pain only came with a full moon.
