Beads of sweat drip down my face as my breathing gets heavy, I'm exhausted. I left the Land of Pearls about a month ago to go join the Akatsuki but I haven't had any luck finding them. 'Where the heck could they be hiding!' I'm mentally screaming. I really want to go back home but I'm pretty sure that the whole village thinks that I'm some kind of coward for running away from my responsibilities, or something like that. "What have I gotten myself into?" I sighed heavily as I sit down in a cave to rest.

Just then, I hear voices from around the outside of the cave, I cast a jutsu to make myself invisible. I see a group of guys with one girl all dressed in black cloaks with red cloud prints on them. 'The Akatsuki!' I thought.

I concentrate on my chakra to keep myself invisible, as quietly as I could I tiptoed to the group as close as possible without letting them feel my presence. A guy with orange hair makes a few hand signs and an entrance appears. This must be their hideout, I follow them inside, still remaining invisible.

When we were all in there my mouth dropped. This place is HUGE! There must be enough rooms in here to where no one has to share. I feel an arm swing down on my back and I am on the ground, breaking my invisibility jutsu.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?!"

"A princess! A princess! Tobi has seen her before in pictures! A princess!"

"A princess huh, un?"

"We can't let her go, she's already seen too much."

I hear all the voices starting to fill the room. I'm quick to get on my feet and say, "I'm here to join your organization." Everyone blankly stares at me then erupts in laughter. I hear the words "weakling, princess, and foolish" being thrown at me.

The one with the silver hair yells "What the fuck could you possibly do to even be considered as one of us?!" I reach for a kunai knife and threw it at him, it caught the collar of his shirt and pinned him against the wall.

"Not too shabby," said the blue guy. They formed a circle around me and I felt a huge adrenaline rush. I love a good fight, I'll take these guys on all at once. "Stop!" yelled the orange haired man, who I assume was their leader since they all obeyed his command and backed away from me.

He steps forward, "So you are a princess huh? Who exactly are you?"

"Princess Mikimoto of the Land of Pearls," I responded. There was some sniggering, probably from my overly formal introduction, but I didn't care. Even though I'm putting on a brave front, on the inside I'm scared senseless. "Alright then, you'll fight Kisame and I'll see if your abilities would be of any use to the Akatsuki."

The blue guy steps up to me and says "This will take me less than a minute, Damsel In Distress." Hearing this angers me, just because I am a princess doesn't mean that I sit around in a castle all day waiting to be rescued. On that note, we all walked outside and everyone stood around waiting to watch me fight Kisame.

"I bet 50 that the helpless little princess won't make it out alive," the one whose mask covers everything except his eyes say.

'Wow these people are so weird,' I thought. I look around to get familiar with everyone's faces. 'Yep, these people are definitely weirdos. Doesn't matter, I'll show you all how strong I am.'

"Begin!" the orange haired leader shouts and all I see a blue figure charging at me full speed.
