Resurrected Muse here and I just want to let everyone know that we will try to update every Saturday (err Sunday morning). But please forgive late updates because we have a three hour time difference to manage. Ps please forgive my long winded passages I try to write as best as I can. I also noticed that when I write myself I tend to use big word…. I'm such a dork.

I was fighting valiantly to not bit my lip as Deidara drag me briskly down the halls. My analytical side was finally kicking in after being disabled by my long hours of studying and the sudden un-realness of my situation. Each step cause the familiar background ache of a headache to pulse in my head.
Pushing the pain back with my skill of managing migraines I try to find out as much as I can. The wall of the dimly lighted hallway were interspersed with irregular doorways. Dampness was slowly becoming more noticeable as we went higher in the building. The stairwells were small industrial metal passageways, and while my sense of direction is shit I attempted to memorize the way we came up (not that it would do any good). Lyssa and I are in a nightmare of our favorite show, complete with the most power crazed organization in this world.
Lyssa and Itachi disappeared during my little sleep deprived deluge. I could only pray that he secretly being one of the good guys would keep her safe, I on the other hand had terrible luck with anything not involving cards, got stuck with a homicidal bomber.
Although I can't fathom how someone so, boyish became so deadly. My obsession with his character made me appreciate how gorgeous Deidara really was. His jawline so sharp and handsome made me wonder how anyone could deny his masculinity. But I digress.
I go back to scanning my surrounding for anything that I may use to go out swinging: because let's face it either I am insane and would want to be put down instead of living life like my mother, or I'm going to die by the hands of my favorite villain. But alas there is nothing but doors insight.
"You can stop looking for a weapon, hmmm." Deidara looks down at me through the corner of his uncovered eye (god what a beautiful blue). Yanked my arm and started to move faster, "Because you won't find one, hmmm, and if you have time to sightsee you're not moving fast enough, hmmm."
Blanching I tear my gaze away to look straight ahead, I will be strong. Or at least strong enough to not wet myself. We reach the top of a particularly long staircase that culminates to a large open unlit room. The lighting from the raging storm outside illuminates the room enough for me to see Lyssa (with her free hand on her hip) and Itachi already standing to the right side of the doorway. And there in front of us in all his glory was Pein and Konan. Shit, shit, shit.
(Lyssa)
I stood in the room calmly as I faced Pein and Konan in a kind of excitement but in fear at the same time. I knew Ashley would look at me like I was insane to be excited in the same moment, I was wondering why though we had been kidnapped in the first place and why we were in this world when we had grew up on earth watching this show.
"Why are we here?" I patted myself on the back for not hearing my voice shake in the least, I looked hard at the Pein and Konan as they stared at me intently eyeing me up to see what I would do. I looked them over the same and realized I could notice this Pein was a clone, I blinked repeatedly and shook my head as my eyes stung from staring at them so intently.
"Madara will be pleased to see that you that you have the Sharingan after all, but to as why you are here, You've been taken to join Akatsuki, I will have you join or your friend will die" I clenched my jaw and glared hard at Pein as I started to step forward but was stopped when I felt Itachi's hand grip my arm tightly warning me.
I fisted my hand and glared at them as I heard Ashley come in as Deidara pushed her in, I had to join I didn't have a choice considering he just threatened her life and I was willing to protect that life till I died.
Ashley was looking at me worriedly as she saw how different our capture's grips were, she grumbles and looked at me. I smiled then looked towards Pein and Konan, I didn't like what choices they gave me but I'd listen just for Ashley.
(Ashley)
Pein looked over to us impassively, Konan hovering next to him like a guardian angel. He then just turn to the left side of the room and started to walk, "Come there is much we must discuss." Deidara tighten his already vicious grip and yanked me over to where his leader was moving. Wincing I followed, I looked over to see Lyssa with a much kinder grip on her arm clenching her fists. I mouthed behind Deidara back "Don't be stupid I'm ok." Knowing that our loyalty ran deep with each other. That we would both kill for each other.
Pein and Konan stopped by a small Japanese table (you know the kind you half to kneel at) and sat. "Itachi-san and Deidara-san you may wait for them at the door." Itachi bowed gracefully like he expected as much, and Deidara a moment slower also bowed. Abet Deidara was much less gracious with clenched hands and hard set mouth. Both shinobi turned and walked out of the large room.
Cold sweat broke on my back lowing my already cool body temperature, Jesus I could swear that I could see my breath coming out in small puffs if I didn't know already that it was too warm for it to freeze like that. Numbly I sat next to Konan, not sure if being next to Pein or having to look him in the eye was more of a challenge.
Almost imperceptibly I began to shake, although with shinobi I might as well have been crying on the floor. But I looked at Lys with her back straight and stiff upper lip and I tried to quiet the shakes and give my best blank stare. I could have sworn a flash off approval appeared on Konan face but out of the corner of my eye it was too quick to tell.
"It is a pleasure to meet you 'Ms. Lyssa Whitlock' and "Ms. Ashley Messier'." Pein said with no emotion, "Or should I say Yumi Uchiha and Camellia Yuki."
…..
It takes a few moments but it finally filters through my shell shocked mind and slowly simmering headache. But really he did not just say that.
(Lyssa)
I closed my eyes in annoyance as Pein explained why we were actually here, why they needed us to join Akatsuki. I was already automatically in as seeing as I was part of the lastly surviving Uchiha's.
I looked to both Pein and Konan calmly and frowned when he started to talk more about how they needed us to help them form their new world, what bothered me is I felt sorry for how both of them would die sooner or later. I knew the Naruto series quite well and it bothered me to no end knowing if either me or Ashley fell in love in this world and with any of the men here we would know when they would die.
Ashley and me would know when the day was and who killed them before they would even know, it sickened me how I knew even if I spoke up to try and save them they would die in the end anyway.
I wouldn't be able to stop it.
I looked back at Ashley quickly and then clenched my jaw when they mentioned how soon they'd start kidnapping the Jinchuuriki, two years away and neither me nor Ashley had enough power to stop them, we were fucked either way.
I could feel how my eyes started to flash to the Sharingan and back to my normal eyes, I knew that emotions more or less caused my eyes to switch back and forth. I breathed slowly as they started to talk more to Ashley then me when they mentioned her training with Sasori and Deidara.
I took in a shaky breath and tried not to throw up where I was, I had to be strong, I had to act like I had no emotions and I knew how to do that a little too well. Ashley warned me It'd come in handy and for the first time in forever I was glad for my emotion control.
Let's hope the next few years or weeks we could try and stop what Akatsuki was trying to do.
(Ashley)
Pein finished explaining that we were taken because somewhere along our family line we had family who left the shinobi world. They fled to escape from those who would use their kekkei genkai for blood shed. And now we, too untrained teens, are to become shinobi and work for the Akatsuki. My blood ran cold, even Lys with nerves of steel looked a little queasy. The room felt like it dropped ten degrees, and by looking at Lys she felt it too.
Both Pein and Konan shared a look and Pein said, "Uchiha Yumi you are dismissed. Go back with Itachi-san to change and begin your training." He paused at the word changed and I look over with wide eyes. Her bunny sleep shorts reminded me of how I felt, like a trapped rabbit.
Lyssa stood, her eyes wavering, "What about Ash?"
Pein didn't even spare her a glance, "She will remain here, we need to discuss her kekkei genkai."
Lyssa puffed up and glared, "Well I'm not leaving her." There was a slight sheen of what looked to be ice on the table. But that can't be right… I didn't hear how Pein manage to herd Lys away because he spoke again.
"Yuki-san," startled I looked up, the trick of the eye was gone, "Please control your emotions or else we will all freeze to death."
My misunderstanding gave me a voice, "Freeze to death?" A faint smile graced his lips, "Yes your bloodline ice release runs strong in your veins."
My confusion was the crutch I needed to speak, "But I hate being cold." Alas confusion does not lend itself to speaking eloquently.
Both Pein's and Konan's faces harden, as if they received bad news. From behind me a voice called out, its low tones chilled me to the bone "That doesn't matter." I turn and see Uchiha Madara, "You will learn to control it and you will work for us. Yumi-san will be handle differently than you. She will be for more… straight forward mission, you however will be trained as a spy and assassin to be dispensed for less… savory missions. If you don't complete these missions we will have to persuade you by first harming you. Then if that doesn't work will harm Lyssa until you get it right. If you decide to tell Lyssa the nature of your missions we will kill your beloved sister and bring their offspring here. Are we clear?"
With no color in my whole body and a lead heart I responded, "Crystal."
(Lyssa)
After Itachi had taken me forcefully out of the room Ashley was in he led me to a full out training room with boards up with plants hanging around.
I gasped as I was pushed down the floor and met with Itachi's Sharingan, I Pacifically looked at his forehead as to not get caught into a genjutsu..
"Smart girl you are, Yumi." I stood up quickly and looked behind me to see Madara walking towards me with his orange mask on. I crossed my arms over my chest and looked him over carefully, something bad was about to happen and I would be helpless against it.
"Now, you are going to start learning the ways of an Uchiha, I know what you are capable of. . ." His deep voice brought shivers up my spine and made me flinch away from him.
"Itachi, unlock her memories of growing up with you, I have to go see our other recruit..." He said softly before teleporting away just when Itachi took hold of my throat and forced me to look into his eyes.
"This will be quite painful, Yumi. So sorry for this." He whispered as he looked into my eyes locking me in place right before my screaming began.
I dropped to the ground in agony as I gripped my head in pain screeching out for it to stop, I felt my body burn on fire as my mind tried to rebel against Itachi's Sharingan jutsu but soon enough my mind gave way with me falling into blackness as the pain increased along with my screams of agony.
I hoped Ashley wouldn't hear my screams, I hoped that she wouldn't have the same training as me.
(Ashley)
Walking back to what I guess is now my room, Deidara led, his face much less hostile. Later I would decide that I must have look pretty shaken for him to not add another impressive bruise to my arm. After Madara concluded his talk, he quickly left it was left to Pein informed me that I was to become Sasori subordinate and that he would be my sensei.
"So Sasori-no-danna is to be your sensei, hmmm?" My glazed over eyes turned to him, "Correct" I listlessly answer.
He gave me a smile that informed me that I get what I deserve (somewhere under the veil of my headache informed me it was probably due to the pillow attack), "Then I will allow you to get change and I will inform Sasori-danna that we are on the way, hmmm." Stopping at what I assume is my door he smirked, "You better hurry, hmmm."
