Well here's chapter two, so Taka is the Akatsuki's little harlot, I feel bad for her too, but this was the direction I was going in, since most of my other stories are kinda all happily ever after kinds of stuff and well I'm kinda getting tired of that. So anyways, here's number 2 yay! Oh and if anything is in bold it usually means I have something to either explain or ask you guys something

A Deal for Freedom

Taka was silently reading a book, she heard the ruffling of the curtain, she looked up to see it was Itachi, she growled. Itachi smirked, he walked over to her bed and took the book out of her hands, she glared at him.

"I'm not here for that, at least not just yet." she tried to get her book back but to no avail Itachi was took quick for her, she sighed in defeat.

"What the hell do you want?" she crossed her arms over her chest and lifted an eyebrow.

"You said you wanted to become a ninja right? I have a little bet to settle, with Kakuzu of course. This is something I would never do for the other one's but that was because they easily gave in. You on the other hand have an attitude problem, Deidara was in here yesterday, left before anything could happen because you were giving him attitude yes?" she blushed and looked down at the ground, she had only given in to two people the past week, Hidan, seeing as he was a crazy Jasshin follower, and the leader of the Akatsuki. To everyone else she gave them attitude, they were frustrated with her and tired from their missions so they all just left she was lucky none of them were mad. They were all crazy S-class ninja easily capable of killing her, which is slightly what she wanted but none of them even gave her a second look.

"Yeah what of it?" Itachi chuckled.

"I'm offering you a chance to become a decent ninja, do this and Kakuzu will rip your contract and you can go home." her eyes widened, was this for real, her chance for freedom was here, but what was the catch, she just had to know.

"There's a catch isn't there?" Itachi glanced at her, then let his gaze fall to the ring on his finger.

"Somewhat, if you can not be trained, have no talent, you are stuck here as the passive little Harlot, no attitude, your choice." she scoffed.

"What do you think I choose?" He nodded his head.

"I'll return with some decent clothes." he left, just as the curtain was falling back into place someone else came in. It was a woman, she had blue hair and a paper flower in it, she walked over to the bed and sat down.

"It's a mystery as to why Itachi has taking a liking to you, you do know why the others just easily left right?" she asked, Taka shook her head no, it was beginning to bug her as well, all of them could've easily just taken her.

"No, there has to be something else behind it . . . I mean they could all just have easily knocked me out or something." the woman smriked.

"I'll have to place a guess and say it was Itachi's doing, he's allowing them to at least try, but with your attitude problem it angers them. Making them either want to kill or just forcefully take you, and it's my guess that Itachi gave them a choice in the matter, leave you alone or fight him, most of these men don't even match up to him." Taka smirked, so it was the asshole who was keeping her safe, the woman stood up from the bed, Itachi walked in and she left. He tossed some clothes at her and left the room, he sighed heavily. It is a waste to let someone like her be a prostitute, she had potential, after learning from Kakuzu which village and clan the girl had come from he knew she could be an asset to the Akatsuki. Though for the moment she is the Akatsuki's toy, she was more like a frustrating broken toy, but still a toy nonetheless. She came out a few minutes later, they began walking down the halls. The rest of the Akatsuki were gathered around doing random tasks, Hidan glared at Itachi.

"Hey where the fuck are you taking her? And why isn't she in her fucking yukata?" Kakuzu smirked did Itachi really think that he could make a ninja out of her, and why did he want to do it in the first place. Itachi paid no attention to the angry Hidan he kept walking toward the exit of the cave, Taka right behind him.

"You're family is from that scarcely know village hidden in the darkness aren't they? You're from the Kuragari clan aren't you?" She stopped dead in her track and looked over at him, how the hell had he known about her family name and where they had come from. He noticed the look on her face and lifted an eyebrow.

"Close your mouth you look like an idiot." the look of shock wiped from her face only to be replaced with one of anger.

"You are an asshole." he scoffed.

"Would an asshole be trying to set you free." she growled.

"There's something else to this isn't there, I know there is and I will find out." he began walking into the forest, she pouted and followed him. Once inside they found a small clearing, Itachi had stopped walking and looked at her.

"Come at with all you got." she laughed, was he serious, there was no way in hell she could even lay a finger on him. "What are you scared?" he teased, she lifted an eyebrow, in all the time she knew him, one week, he didn't seem like the taunting type, let alone show any emotion.

"No, not scared, just using my brain. If I go at you with all my strength what will that prove? I have no skill in any ninja art, that's why you're here to teach me right? That's what you said you were going to do at least." Itachi smirked.

"You're smarter than you look." Taka growled and puffed up her cheeks in frustration, just what was he implying, that she was just some dumb whore, well she would show him. Itachi waited for her response, but she just stood there cheeks puffed up like a squirrel with acorns in it's mouth. "All right then sit down, first I'll go over the basics, the transformation jutsu, I would lecture you about all that ninja shit but we don't have time." she nodded her head and sat down on a fallen tree

Hidan growled, just what the hell was Itachi thinking favoring her, and what sucked even more about it was that Kakuzu is too cheap to buy more than one. He glared at his greedy partner, he was once again counting his money.

"Hey! Do you know why Itachi has taken her away from us?" everyone looked toward Kakuzu, he sighed heavily. He couldn't tell them that there was a bet going on between the two, they would yell at him and make him buy another little harlot and that was just a waste of money.

"Well yeah sort of, I made a bet with Itachi, after I told him where the girl had come from he quickly started taking a liking to her, something about her being from some Darkness Village and whatnot, he bet me some Ryo that he could train her into a decent ninja and if he won I would rip up that contract and she wouldn't be the Akatsuki harlot anymore." Hidan growled, they couldn't touch her because of a damn bet, that idiot Kakuzu would die.

"WHAT THE FUCK MAN! THAT'S FUCKING BULLSHIT! JUST GO OUT THERE AND BUY US A NEW BITCH THEN!" Kakuzu hugged his bag of money and shook his head no.

"No way! Money is too important to be wasting on whores! Besides do you really think a bitch like her can become a ninja!? Think about it, I get myself some money and she becomes passive, no more arguing with us or giving us damn attitude." Hidan sighed heavily, he guessed if she became less aggressive they would have a better chance of going at it. He was the lucky one to take first shots at her but after she had talked with Itachi she was angry and gave them all attitude, he wanted to kill her but Itachi had warned them all not to touch her if she refused. They were all given a shot, if they became angry with her they had to give up and leave her room it was frustrating and it was all Kakuzu's fault.

"You better be fucking right about this you money hungry asshole! If she by any chance actually has the talent and she becomes a ninja I'm going to kill you!" Kakuzu laughed.

"As if she ever would." he said with a chuckle.

"Never underestimate a person un." Deidara said, Kakuzu turned to look at him and smirked.

"Yeah, he's right, never underestimate a person, and definitely Itachi, if he wants something out of her he'll go all at it to get what he wants." Kisame said, Kakuzu frowned, he hoped that Itachi wouldn't be able to teach her anything, because there goes more of his money into another harlot for the Akatsuki.

"You better pray she has no talent, if not there goes more of your money into buying us another girl." Sasori said with a laugh.

I'm not certain if that is what they use for currency in the Naruto world, I sort of forgot.
