FYI: The first time i use a new Japanese word, the English translation is in parenthesis behind it. I will also add a list at the end of every chapter.
They've been running for a few days. They had an emotional moment when they passed the orders of the fire country. That was when they officially became missing-nin. That was when they defaced their Hitai- ates (forehead protectors). They still had no clue where they were headed. All they knew was they were in the rain country.
"Can we please stop for the night? I'm so tired," whined Ino.
"Fine! We'll stop!" Tenten was getting annoyed. All Ino has been doing is whining. "Hinata, can you find us a clearing we can make camp in?"
"Hai." Hinata then made several fast hand signs, and closed her eyes. "Byakugan," she said quietly, as her eyes snapped open. The veins around her eyes were bulging out. "There's one a few hundred meters behind us," she said, staring strait ahead. That was her kekkei genkai (blood line limit). She could see in 360 degrees, and through solid objects. She could also see the chakra networks of other ninja.
The girls backtracked to a nice clearing. "Right…" Tenten began. "Ino, you and Sakura set up camp and start a fire. Hinata and I will go hunting for food. Alright?"
Ino nodded and went to tell Sakura the plan, while Tenten went over to Hinata. "Hey Hina-chan, lets find some grub."
"Sure Ten-chan, Hinata said, as she activated her Byakugan again.
They leapt off into the woods. Five minutes later, Hinata held out her hand, signaling Tenten to stop.
"What is it?" Tenten dropped her voice to a whisper.
"Two deer, one at eight o' clock, the other at eight fifteen," Hinata told her.
Wordlessly Tenten pulled out two kunai, and aimed according to Hinata's directions. She pulled her hands back at threw them at the deer.
"You got them," Hinata said excitedly as she ran towards their meal.
'I don't sense anything so were good,'thought Hinata.
They arrived at the location where the two deer were laying. "Nice find," Tenten said.
"Nice throw," Hinata responded. She bent down and removed the kunai from one of the deer. As she returned it to Tenten, Tenten spoke. "Go get some herbs that we can cook with while I clean these guys up, okay?"
"Right." She turned around and leapt back into the woods. She used her Byakugan to find some of the herbs Tenten was talking about. Suddenly her blood ran cold.
"Do you sense that?" A male voice said, about twenty meters in front of her. 'I can't see anyone with my Byakugan… unless they are masking their chakra. That means they are shinobi. Shimatta (shit). What should I do?' "Yeah, I sense it," said another male. Hinata could vaguely recognize this one. She just couldn't put a face to a voice.
"Well it couldn't be your little brother…he gave up," the first voice said.
"You can never tell with Sasuke. He is an idiot," the second voice responded. Hinata's heart stopped. She knew where she heard that voice. When she was a little girl, the only clan, other than the Hyuugas, that she was aloud to see, was the Uchihas. The second voice belonged to Sasuke's older brother, Uchiha Itachi. He is the man who killed off his entire clan, minus Sasuke. The missing-nin in the Akatsuki.
"He's not that stupid," the other man retorted.
"And how would you know this, Kisame?" Hinata's heart stopped again. The other man must be Hoshigaki Kisame, one of the seven legendary swordsmen of the mist, and Itachi's partner in the Akatsuki.
"Does it matter?"
"Not really, but you sparked my interest…it's running away, so it can't be Sasuke. If it was, he would run towards us," Itachi said, chasing after Hinata, who was running back to Tenten.
Hinata was back with Tenten, in a minute. "W-we g-g-got company."
"Who," Tenten asked, jumping up and grabbing a kunai. Her question was answered when Kisame and Itachi leapt through the trees and landed in front of the two girls.
"Look at what we got here," Kisame said with a smirk. "Aren't you two a little far from Konoha?"
Then Sakura and Ino leapt out of the trees, and landed behind Tenten and Hinata. "We thought we heard something going on…" Sakura trailed off. "Uchiha Itachi," she growled.
"Right, now I know who you are. You are the chick on my little brother's squad." Itachi was looking at Sakura.
Meanwhile, Kisame was looking at a certain weapon mistress. His eyes widened when he saw the Hitai-ates. "Itachi," he said to his partner, "they're missing-nin."
Itachi glanced at Kisame, and then looked at their Hitai-ates. All of them had slashes through them.
"Why did you four leave the village?" He looked around. Sakura answered him. "We were tired of it. We were tired of being weak, and under-appreciated. So, we left."
"What are your goals?" Kisame continued the interrogation. This time, Tenten spoke up. "We want to be strong, and to prove we have what it takes. We want to prove we can be shinobi."
"How are you going to do this?" Itachi smirked at the girls. None of them could think of an answer. After a moment he spoke again. "I might have an idea, but if you agree, there's no going back."
"What is it," Ino asked nervously.
"Join us." The girls stiffened. "The Akatsuki is running low on man power. We recently lost four men, so four spots are available. What do you girls say? Do you want to join the Akatsuki?"
Tenten looked at the girls. Slowly Sakura nodded. Ino gave a curt nod. Hinata shrugged. Tenten then turned to the two s-class criminals. "We'll do it."
There's Chapter 2. So What do you guys think so far. Sorry if it seem rushed. Please R&R.

Hitai-ate - forehead protector
