Over thirteen years had passed since her mother's death, since they had taken her in. Her mother had been murdered, unable to protect her daughter in the weakened state she was in. She hated them, the ones that had taken her mother from her, the ones who had killed her entire clan. The Akatsuki.

I guess they hadn't really been mean to her, they had fed her and trained her, but that was before they knew the reason behind her mother's protectiveness – her kakke genkai.

You see, in the Tamaichi-clan almost no one is born with this rare dojutsu, only a few are carriers and almost none of them are strong enough to activate it.

But she, Yuki, the last of the Tamaichi-clan was not only a carrier but also an activator. When the leader of the Akatsuki realized this, well, her life got a lot tougher. With more and more missions behind her, she grew colder. Soon the little girl crying for her mother had been locked so deep within Yuki's heart that she could ignore it completely.

And this is where her story begins.

Wandering through the Akatsuki headquarters had never been one of my favorite things, you see, you never know who, or what, you might stumble upon. With my luck-of course-I ended up in the deepest parts of the tunnels, furthest away from freedom. I also had to walk for quite a while to reach Leader-sama's office, which by the way happens to be were I'm heading right now. I just came back from a mission in the stone village, and am now going to give Leader-sama my mission report.

Turning left, a large wooden double-door covered almost the whole wall at the end of the corridor. Hesitating now was not an option so I stepped forward and knocked.

Hearing a muffled "come in" I open the door quietly and stepped through, closing it as I went in. " I finished my mission" I said, locking eyes with Pain, the leader of the Akatsuki. He turned his head towards me, his gray-ringed eyes seemingly piercing my soul. I held out my right hand and giving him my mission report.
"Yuki" he said as he took the scroll.
"Yes?"
"I have another mission for you, in Konohagakure." I froze; I hate Konoha even more than I hate the Akatsuki. Because of them Itachi can't be happy and he deserves to be happy.
I know I shouldn't love him. Hell, I shouldn't even like him! And yet, every time I see his eyes-the deepest blue shade I had ever seen-I can't help but shiver.
They remind me of long ago, before all this, before my death...

I must have spaced out because Pain-sama was staring at me with that funny look again. When he saw me focused he started talking again, "As I was saying, you going to go to Konoha and participate in the Chūnin exam. A team will be ready for you when you arrive."

I didn't want to know what he meant by that, and questioning such a direct order wasn't the smartest thing to do either.

So with that, I left, heading towards Konoha.

Ooookaay, so I just went back and looked through these few chapters and realized that I am a horrible writer… But I am going to try and make this a story anyway. It will probably be horrible but I am open to suggestions! xD Please don't kill me!
