"What's with you?" Sasori looked over to Shinju.
"Nothing you guys should worry about" Shinju laughed a bit nervous and tried to hide the feelings she had now. 'Come on, why does this always happen at the most not so good times. I hate this' Shinju got back up, she kept her hand at her stomach and tried to think of something else then the pain she had.
"Follow me, Leader-sama wants to talk with you hm" Deidara grabbed Shinju's free hand and dragged her out of the room.
When they were at the entrance of an other room, Deidara knocked on the door and waited until he could enter.

"Ah, seems you have woke up. Welcome in the Akatsuki lair, you can feel a bit uncomfortable with all these guys, but don't worry you'll get used to it soon enough" The man after the desk said evilly.
He raised his hand and a female walked up. "After our little talk here you follow her and do exactly as she says. Then you can go with Deidara, he knows what to do with you. Deidara wait outside we have out little talk in here."
Deidara nodded and left Shinju alone. 'I wonder what leader-sama wants with her.' Outside Deidara saw Sasori.
"And?" he said.
"I have to wait until she gets out and Konan is ready with her hm."
"Waiting again, I'm working don't you dare to disturb me"
After that Sasori went away and Deidara walked over to the living room. He took the remote control and watched some programs on tv.

"Good, you know now everything you should know. Go with Konan freshen up a bit, you look pale and if you want to survive you have to be in great condition, to fight and think. Go, I don't want to be disturbed."
Konan walked up to Shinju. "Follow me"
Shinju looked to Konan and then back to the Leader. After that she followed Konan.
"Ano, Konan-san, can I ask you something" Shinju asked polite.
"Don't worry about Pein he is a reasonable Leader, you just need to get used of how he acts. Here freshen up, clothes are there and there is some bandage for the rest."
"How did you know?" Shinju asked surprised.
"It's a matter of thinking and facial expression. Take it easy trainings with any of the Akatsuki members is hard and painful. You take it slowly and then try to do more." Konan said and left the room.

"Wow, what the heck do we have here! An onsen? I wonder what they got more in here? Glad that there is an other female member or i couldn't have survived in this lair." Shinju undressed herself and stepped into the hot water. 'This is ten times better then the shower, at least you can think better when you laying down in an onsen' Shinju closed her eyes and rested a bit.

In the living room more Akatsuki members have gathered. Konan looked over to Deidara and told him that Shinju will be ready in a half an hour or so. Deidara nodded and got his stuff. He walked back to his room and looked over to his desk. Many unfinished clay art were on it. 'Is it possible that she is really the one? The only one that admired my work.' Deidara looked over to a piece of cloth. He picked it up and thought of the person who gave it to him. He left it and walked to the onsen.

In the onsen Shinju was ready and put the clothes on Konan had shown. She sighed. 'How long will it take before i find mom and dad? If i'm prisoned in here it can't find them. Ni-san, what would you do if you were here?' Shinju walked out of the room and saw Deidara against the wall.

"Ready hm?" He said.
Shinju nodded, she walked over to Deidara, she looked into his eyes.
'So sad eyes he has.'
"What are you looking at hm" Deidara said a bit annoyed.
"You have sad eyes, how come" Shinju asked.
"Like you care hm. Come I'll show you the rest of the members."
"I care, i don't know how but, when i see you, i kinda feel a bit home"
'She feels home with me?!? Explains why she didn't try to escape us before in the inn. But why?' Deidara closed his eyes and thought of the time in Iwagakure. "Those times were awful, still there was somebody who made my life a bit better hm."
Shinju looked up at the blonde shinobi in front of her.
"Wars they take the smiles away from the kids in the villages. Even the most evil person in this world can smile, you only need to find the smile. When you found that smile, life ain't that bad any more." Shinju tried to comfort Deidara.
Deidara looked over to Shinju. 'She knows, she knows how it feels'
"Come i'll introduce you to the rest hm"
Shinju smiled weakly, she walked over to Deidara.
"Why are you smiling hm" Deidara asked curious.
"No reason, just because" Shinju said.
Deidara started to walk and Shinju followed him to the living room.
"Meet the others hm."
Shinju stopped when she saw all the men in the room.
'Guh, not good, seems Konan and I are the only female members in here. How the heck does she survive in here?'

Shinju stood still when she saw, only men in the room. 'How the hell should i survive this?'

Deidara looked over to the kunoichi next to him. 'She acts like one of those old kunoichis from home hm'

FLASHBACK

'class is boring again hm. Why is sensei not back yet' Deidara looked on the board.
STUDY HOUR
'Study hour yeah right, an hour has already past, i wish i had my clay now at least i could do something hm'
After some more minutes the teacher came back in the classroom, together with a chuunin and a little girl.
"Everybody listen up. From now we have a new pupil in here be nice and try to give her some tips along the way."
"Ano, sensei?" The chuunin said.
"What is it Takahiro?"
The chuunin whispered something in the ear of the teacher. "Now do your best, i'm gonna pick you up when lessons are over okay" Takahiro went to the little girl and layed his hand on the girls head.
The girl nodded shly, as the chuunin left the girl turned her head back again and looked into the classroom.
"Shinju choose a place to seat, then we can get further with the lessons."
Shinju nodded shyly and looked into the room. Back in the classroom she saw an empty seat and walked over to the seat.
'Are, is she really coming here?' Deidara looked at the girl. When Shinju was next to him Deidara kept on looking at the girl.
"Is it al right if i sit here" Shinju asked polite.
"Do as you like hm" Deidara said bored.
"Good now that i have everyone's attention lets continue where we left."

END FLASHBACK

'How long was that when i met that girl hm' Deidara looked up at the ceiling and try to remember the time when he met the girl.

Shinju layed her hand on her stomach.
When one of the men turned around to see something new, he saw Shinju.
"My, my, it is true that we have a new member, heh, you would be good as a sacrifice for Jashin" the shinobi got to Shinju's chin and tilted her head a bit up so he could look into Shinju's eyes.
Shinju grabbed her stomach even harder. Shinju shook her head to the left so that the man lost his grip on her chin.
"I'm gonna like this one, what does Leader-sama want to do with her?"
"How the hell should I know hm." Deidara said.
"Still i didn't know this new rookie would be a nice chick like"
'Come on, one more word and i'm gonna throw everything up on him' Shinju looked disgust to the other side and saw an other shinobi. He had a mask on.
"TOBI!!!!!!!! Get back here, you are a dead shinobi"
"Waaaaaaahhhhhh, sempai help me!!!! Kisame-sempai please calm down." Tobi said nervous.
"Calm down, after what you did? Get back here" Kisame got Samehada and ran after Tobi.
Shinju saw the shinobi fight. She ran to the masked shinobi and stopped the blue skinned man.
"Are" Tobi looked careful to the kunoichi in front of him.
"Out of the way little girl, or you'll get hurt" Kisame said angry.
* twitch* 'Little' Shinju looked a bit angry after she was called little. She went to Kisame's ear and pulled hard at it.
"Heeey, let go ouch that hurts" Kisame shouted.
"Little girls can do big things" Shinju said a bit evil.
"Arigatou uuuh..." Tobi said happy.
"Shinju" Shinju said short after.
"Can you do me a favor?" Kisame said after a while.
Shinju looked down at Kisame's face. "What?" She asked.
"Can you let me go of my ear? And right now!" Kisame said loud.
Shinju pulled harder at Kisame's ear and let go when he was almost at the ground.
Kisame turned around, he gave a evil look to Shinju.
"What you said i had to let go. Well i did. So stop the whining" Shinju said a pit pissed of.
"Why, you little..." Kisame said.
Shinju turned back around and gave Kisame an evil glare.
"Guh" 'Damn she can be scarier then Itachi' Kisame got back to his feet.

When silence got back into the room, the leader came in together with Konan.
"What a silence. It seems you already met the new member." The leader looked to Shinju and then back to the men. "Shinju meet the whole organisation. Starting from tomorrow you'll be working together with Tobi and Deidara, got problems with that?"
"No, not at all" Shinju said polite.
"Good, Deidara, Tobi, from now on you are responsible for her. Show her the way, we don't want any problems do we." After that the Leader left and Konan followed him.
"Hi, nice to meet you, Tobi will show you Akatsuki" Tobi said happy.
Not knowing what to do or say, Shinju looked to Tobi and laughed a bit. "Your funny guy"
"And annoying hm" Deidara said annoyed.
Shinju looked over to Deidara, she walked over to him and Tobi followed.
"Come on hm. We ain't got all day."
