Flash back
She had been lucky with her find. There was a lot of food. Meat and vegetables mainly, a crate of fruits and a bag of money. There were also two cloaks. One Black, one pink. She felt a pang if guilt. The man she had killed may have had a family… naturally, she took the black cloak. Pink in the forest would only attract trouble. Making a quick decision, she released the horses from the cart.
Heading back to the road wasn't difficult, it only took a couple of coins to buy a map. "Let's see…". She was in the rock country at the moment. It wouldn't take to long to reach the Hidden Rain Village. 'Ah well, at least I'm making progress…'
A week later, it was nearly mid day and the sun was bearing down on her. The down side of having a black cloak is that it always makes things warmer than they actually are. 'Traveling in the Rock country at high noon…was a very bad idea'.
She stopped in a nearby rest stop. As she stepped into the little bar she considered herself lucky to have had a hood on. There were tables full of fully grown men, all carrying weapons and an attitude. "Hello there sweet cheeks!" she heard one of the men whistle to the waitress.
Akemi rolled her eyes and sat herself at the counter. "A beer ,please" she said. The bar keeper looked at her suspiciously "Are you even old enough to drink, sonny? How do I know you ain't just tall for yer age?". Akemi smiled under her hood, "well, I guess you'll have to take my word for it". The bartender shrugged it off and handed her a beer. The door to the pub opened, squeaking loudly.
Two figures stepped in, red clouds drawn on black cloaks. The chatter in the pub died down as the crowd studied the new comers. Slowly and quietly, they made their way to the counter and sat themselves down. One figure was big and hunched and seemed to glide across the floor. The other stood tall, both their faces were covered by straw hats. "A beer, un ,and some oil if you got any, un" said the taller one , flicking some coins on the table, revealing a small mouth on his hand.
Akemi sipped her beer, coolly, at the same time, excitement was bubbling inside of her. 'I might get my rematch sooner than I expected…'. A big man with missing teeth grabbed Deidara's shoulder " Ey, punk, this bar don' welcome Akatsuki members" he said, revealing missing teeth. He gestured to the other men in the bar, grinning stupidly. "Oh, please, un. I've got more power in my little finger than all of you combined, un" he said, his smirking lips, inches away from the rim of the beer in his hand. "What did ya say, you fucking son of a bitch?!" the large man bellowed.
THUD! The man fell down, shock etched on his face. "Please , gentle men. Control your mouth" Akemi said, calmly. Deidara looked up from his glass and looked at The figure beside him, curiously. The men in the pub looked from the man on the floor to Akemi. Suddenly one burst out laughing "what a voice! You sound like a squeaky toy! Hey boys, I think squeaky over here needs to be taught some manners!".
The men stood up, edging closer to their weapons, leering menacingly. The tip of Akemi's mouth curved up in a smile. Suddenly she was standing behind the man who had laughed , her hand on his neck. " That" her nails started glowing "is because" her nails grew longer "I'm a girl" her nails dug deep, deep into the mans neck, puncturing his wind pipe, he gave a squeak . "Who's the squeaky one now, Fool?" She ripped his throat and he fell to the floor ,dead.
The mob inched forward. Masses of senbon appeared in the air, all around the bar, each aiming to kill. Twenty-eight men fell to the ground, a senbon in each of their pulse spots. Akemi stood in the middle of the bar ,unscathed and loving it. The bartender didn't seem affected at all. This kind of stuff happened every day in his pub. The waitress stepped forward and began searching for valuables on the fallen men.
"Hey, I killed them. I better get a pick from the loot" she nodded and smiled, gesturing to the table filling up with valuables. 'What kind of sick, psychotic people are these?' Akemi thought as she returned to her drink. Deidara studied her for a while, eyeing her hood. "I could have handled it, un". Akemi smiled "Yeah well, I needed the practice". She was feeling quite cocky at that moment. He smirked, "I'd recognize your voice any where, Akemi chan, un". Akemi smiled, pulled her hood off and sat down beside him. "When did you get so fixated on me, Deidara-kun?" she said jokingly.
"I commit to memory important people, un. I've got a death match with you, un " he said brightly. Sasori who was standing by, seemingly ignoring everything all together turned to Akemi " I recognize you as the leaf Shinobi we encountered about a year ago". Akemi blinked at him for a while. "That was you?" she said uncertainly. " Yeah, Sasori danna is a puppet master ,un. It's what he does." Akemi couldn't see Sasori roll his eyes but she was pretty sure he did. " Sure Deidara. Why don't you just disclose to her the top secret Akatsuki files". Deidara looked at Sasori, " we have top secret Akatsuki files, un?".
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Another week had passed since the meeting of Deidara and Sasori at the bar. Akemi decided it was time to pamper herself a bit after all the hard ships. Taking out the lootings from the bar, she headed to a clothes shop. Now her desire to join the Akatsuki had grown and she had doubled her own training. She would make it to Akatsuki no matter what. She bought a black sleeveless top with a red zipper. She had black gloves and red elbow-guards . She also had black shorts and black sandals. Yep, she was going with the Akatsuki colors. She even put red and black streaks in her hair.
As she continued her journey that night she spotted a large boulder in the way. Smiling ,she drew her fist back and threw a punch at it shattering it to pieces. She was content. Her medical skills along with her fighting skills improved. As she looked in the lake at her reflection, though she hated to admit it, she looked just like her mother. The slug Sannin , Tsunade, the fifth Hokage .
