A/N: Second chapter up~ :) Thank you for all the reviews and I'll try and make these chapters longer. Also, I'm going on vacation soon so the chapters might take longer to write. I'll probably write a few chapters on the plane and update it all at once.
Chapter 2: Interrogation
"Did you say a demon attacked you?" Kisame asked, eyes narrowed suspiciously.
"Er…yes?" Kagome answered.
"How? Which one?" Itachi demanded dangerously.
Kagome was now thoroughly confused. "What do you mean? There are tons of demons just wandering around…right?"
Itachi and Kisame stared at her. Who exactly was she?
"Never mind. We'll discuss this matter further later." Itachi growled.
It was several minutes later when Kagome began whining. A bored Kagome is a dangerous Kagome.
"I'm bored! I want to do something!" She complained.
"Will you shut up?" Kisame snapped in irritation.
"No! I'm bored." Kagome whined. "Oh! That reminds me. I never really got a chance to introduce myself. My name is Kagome Higurashi and I'm 17 years old. It's nice to meet you."
Her speech was met with silence. Kagome huffed in annoyance before speaking up. "You know, it's customary to give your name after someone introduces themselves."
Kisame grumble under his breath, but figured it would shut her up. How wrong he was. "My name's Kisame. That's Itachi." He muttered; gesturing in front of him where the Uchiha was walked briskly.
"Oh, nice names." Kagome said.
Unfortunately for Kisame (and Itachi although he wouldn't admit it to anyone) Kagome was one of those types of people who felt like they had to fill every silence with chatter.
"You know, it's kind of funny how you look like a demon, but you don't have a drop of demon blood. Itachi has some in his eyes though."
Kisame stiffened. This was a sensitive topic for him. It was also strange how she talked about demons so casually, and without fear too.
Kisame shifted his shoulder uncomfortably. "How the hell do you weigh so much?" He growled.
Kagome grinned. "It must be my backpack. I never really learned how to pack lightly." She explained.
"Are we there yet?" Kisame groaned. "My shoulder can't take this anymore."
"Hn."
"I'll take that as a yes." He grumbled.
The small group slowly, courtesy of Kisame, made it's way over towards Pein's office.
"Can I walk now?" Kagome asked. "I feel sore all over."
"Ditto." Kisame agreed.
Itachi nodded briefly. Kagome groaned in pain as she slowly lowered herself to the ground. Kisame rolled his shoulder around, trying to get rid of the numb feeling in his arms while Itachi knocked lightly on the door to Pein's office.
"Come in." A voice called softly.
They entered and immediately, a guy with orange hair fixed his eyes on Kagome; who had stepped in behind Itachi and Kisame.
"And who is this?" He questioned.
"A girl we found at the bottom of a well." Itachi stated. "Her chakra is pink and her presence appears stronger than the Kyuubi."
"Iteresting." Pein looked thoughtful. "Call the others."
Kisame disappeared in a poof of smoke and Kagome's eyes widened. "Whoa! How'd he do that?"
Her question went unanswered.
Slowly, the others filed into the office; each one staring at her briefly before turning their gazes to the leader. He spoke up. "Itachi will be interrogating you. He will ask the question and you will answer. Lying will have unfortunate consequences." He turned towards Itachi. "You may begin."
"What's your name?" He asked.
"You already know my name."
Itachi glared at the miko. "What is your name?" He repeated.
Kagome sighed. "Kagome Higurashi."
"How old are you?"
"17."
"Why do you have pink chakra?" Everyone leaned forwards slightly, waiting for her answer.
"What's chakra? If you mean my miko ki, then yes, it is pink. I don't know why though." Kagome responded.
"Miko? You mean those people in the myths and legends who defeated demons?" Kisame asked.
"Yes. What of it?"
"You are now part of the Akatsuki." Pein announced. "You will only be going on missions concerning Kyuubi, the nine-tailed fox. You are dismissed."
Kagome stare at Pein blankly, not even aware that Kisame had grabbed her arm and was dragging her into the hallway. She blinked in confusion at the scenery change.
"Wh-what?" She stuttered. "Why do I have to join the Akatsuki? I didn't even have a say in this." She complained.
Kisame ignored her and gestured down the ong hallway. "Your room is the one at the end of the hallway." And with that, he vanished in a poof of smoke.
/Tsunade's office/
Jiraiya leant against the doorframe to Tsunade's office, a serious look on his face.
"What now?" Tsunade growled; taking out a sake bottle from a cabinet in her desk.
"This is serious." Jiraiya stated. "One of my spies reported Itachi and Kisame kidnapping a girl who had pink chakra. It seems that her powers are stronger than even the Kyuubi himself."
Tsunade set down her sake bottle and closed her eyes tiredly.
"What are they up to now?" She murmured.
Please review~ It makes my day :)
