Making Friends?

I slowly woke up and felt something soft beneath me. As I opened my eyes I realized I was looking at a ceiling. I slowly sat myself up and held on to the blanket at my waist as my eyes scanned the room. There was a night table next to the bed with a small candle light that let some light in the dark room. Near that there on the next wall was a door and on the next wall there was another door that was slightly open with another light coming from it. I guessed it was the bathroom. Near the bathroom door there was a small desk with some drawers and a chair. Then the last wall was with the bed against it.

It had been about two weeks since I had started traveling with Itachi and Kisame. In that time Itachi had surprisingly shown me how to throw kunai and shuriken at targets. He even managed to get me to have more endurance and speed. Of course, my speed did not match the Uchiha prodigy or even his accuracy but at least I stood more of a chance with low level ninja. It was times like this one that I was happy that I had formed a strict exercise routine as well as taught myself certain martial arts as well as kendo. Even though I had no chakra which would mean I wouldn't be able to do any form of justu other than maybe taijutsu I was able to defend myself in this world even just a little.

I slowly got myself up from the bed and made my way to the bathroom. They must have had knocked me out to get me in their hideout. I looked in the bathroom. I was simple with a shower and a toilet with a counter and sink. On the counter I saw a change of clothes and a black towel. Now that I really thought about it, even the bed was all black. Whoever's bedroom this was really liked the color black or maybe every bedroom was this way. I sighed as I got undressed and hopped in the shower. My sore muscles welcomed the hot water. This was far more enjoyable then bathing in a cold stream. I used whatever shampoo and soap there was. After some time just enjoying the warmth I turning off the shower and took the towel to wrap around my body.

I stepped out of the shower and looked at the clean new pair of clothes. There was black bandages, tight black ninja shorts and a black top decorated with red clouds. I was happy to say that whoever had placed the new clothes had given me black panties and bra. I hoped it was Konan and not any of the guys. I quickly slipped on the panties and bra followed by the shorts. I then put on the Akatsuki top. It reached just below my ass and the sleeves made the top look like a kimono but there was a hood. I decided to wrap some of the bandages around my waist to make it look like an obi. I took some of the bandage to tie up my blonde hair up in a ponytail. Once I was done I wondered what I should do with my dirty clothes. I decided to leave it on the chair and ask someone later. I saw a pair of ninja shoes at the door and to my surprise they were my size. It was weird that everything pretty much fit me.

I heard a knock on the door, "Are you decent?"

I opened the door to reveal Itachi at the door with his usual emotionless stare. "Uh. Yeah. I am guessing I am in a hideout of some sort?" He nodded. "Who picked out these clothes?" I asked, gesturing to the clothes with my hand.

"Konan. You will meet her shortly." That surprisingly made me feel a little better to know a girl had been the one to leave these clothes for me.

"Okay. Who's room is this?"

"You ask too many questions," he turned around and started to walk away.

"Wait up a minute," I said as a called after him and started to step towards his retrieving form.

"Leader-sama has requested your presence," he said over his shoulder.

"Leader-sama?" I tilted my head. Did he mean Pein? "You didn't answer my question. Who's room was that?"

"Mine."

I stopped in my tracks. I had been sleeping in his room? I started to feel my cheeks heat up. I had been staying in a boy's room. After a few more steps he stopped to look at me. I shook my head, "Sorry. Coming!" I started to skip towards him with a smile. This was so crazy. I shouldn't be smiling when I was in the 'home' of a bunch of killers.

After walking and turning around many corners we finally made it to a dark round room where all the Akatsuki members were gathered in a circle. It was dark but I could see them enough to know who was who.

Itachi left my side to stand beside his partner and Tobi who was next to Pein.

"Come in the circle, girl," Pein ordered me.

I crossed my arms defiantly but did as I was told and walked to the middle of the circle. I should have been scared and nervous since I was now surrounded by nine people that could kill me in an instant. Truth is though, I felt oddly calm and relaxed. "You wanted to see me?"

"You will address me as Leader-sama," he told me.

I chuckled, "Why? I'm not a member."

He glared at me for my disrespect, "You are to join us."

Wow. I was being ordered to join an organization? "Why would I do that?"

"We can offer you the chance to become stronger than you are as well as protection. I have heard of your ability to be unaffected by genjutsu and you have fair skills in combat. You could easily be a kunoichi even with your lack of chakra."

I stared at him, "What do you want in return?"

"Your loyalty."

I didn't know what to say to that. They wanted my loyalty? Why? What use was I to them? I uncrossed my arms and put my hands on hips.

"No," I said, declining his offer.

"You deny this agreement? We can offer you strength and protection just for your loyalty," Pein said to me.

I was angry. My fist tightened at my side before I smirked and crossed my arms again, closing my eyes in the process, "Eh. I am not a possession. I do what I want when I want. You say you want my loyalty but truth is you just want to use me for your own purpose."

He sighed as the air began to tense around me. The other members were waiting for their leader to respond. It took a few seconds but he finally spoke, "I admire your bravery at a time like this. You could easily be killed."

I opened my eyes and looked around me. He was right. I was surrounded in a room with trained killers. I didn't stand a chance in hell but I was head strong and stubborn. "Haha. If you wanted me dead than I would already be dead," I said smartly, a smirk still plastered on my lips. I scratched the back of my head, "So, what now?"

He sent me a hard stare, "You have two options." The air began to thicken with malice. "Join us or die."

To join or to die; that was the question. Too bad I didn't like either of those options. "I choose neither." The air became awkward.

"This bitch as to be either fucking stupid or have fucking guts," a voice said, I guessed it to be Hidan.

"Yeah, un," another said, I guessed that one was Deidara.

"Are we really going to kill her? Tobi is a good boy!"

Yeah. That was defiantly Tobi aka Obito.

"Tsk. I get it. You guys are hardcore and badass. But I don't plan on dying today and I sure as hell won't do what I don't want to do." Dead silence.

Then Pein spoke again, "Tell me, girl. What is your goal in this life?"

My eyes widened a fraction as I looked around me. Right. As I remember reading somewhere all these guys had a reason to be here. They all had something they wanted to achieve. I thought about it. Back in my old world my goal was to never let anyone get hurt because of me. Not again. My goal was to become stronger so no one had to protect me or worry about me anymore. I put distance between me and my friends because of this. When I was pulled forward in this world, I wanted answers and a way back home. So what did I want now? Did I want to go back home? Or did I want to find the purpose behind me being here? I bared my teeth together as these thoughts came. What was my goal now?

Savior, the robotic came in my head again. Savior? Was I brought here to save someone? And in that case who? I looked around me again, remembering spoilers of how they died. Was I supposed to somehow save the Akatsuki? That thought was crazy and funny. How can a small normal girl protect high rank ninjas?

"Well?" Pein said, his patience warring thin.

I looked up to his eyes and shrugged, "Guess I am still trying to find that out."

"I see. Your name is Reiki Kai?" I nodded. "Where do you come from?"

Not this question again. I sighed, "I don't know how to answer that. Let's just say somewhere over the rainbow or two stars from the left and straight 'til morning." The members looked at each other than at me with confusion, well except Itachi and Pein. I guess they don't know anything about Wizard of Oz and Peter Pan. Silly me.

"I do not understand," Pein said, face serious.

I sighed in annoyance. Fuck this was annoying. I plopped myself on my ass and propped one of my knees up to rest my arm on it while my other arm kept my body up. "Dude, it was a joke. Chill."

"Chill?"

I let a moan of frustration escape my lips. I really had to learn how to speak like the characters of Naruto. "Yeah. It means relax." I sighed again, "What I meant is that I am another form of weird in this fuck up universe."

"I like this bitch," Hidan said. I rolled my eyes.

"Is this another attempt at a joke?" Pein asked.

"No. I'll just translate for you. I am not from around these parts."

Then Tobi aka Obito stepped away from the circle and came dangerously close to me, "Tobi doesn't understand." He examined me, "Are you a demon?"

I grabbed his masked face and pushed it away from my own face, "There is such a thing as a personal bubble, buddy."

"Tobi is your friend? Tobi is a good boy!" he squeaked excitedly.

I rubbed my temple with the arm that was resting on my knee, "I'm getting a headache."

"This meeting has come to a close. Seeing as this girl as yet to make a decision she is to remain our guest until she has. Itachi, she will remain in your custody seeing as you were the one to have brought her to our attention. Girl, you will remain here under watch until you have agreed to join the Akatsuki. We are dismissed," with that Pain disappeared and so did Konan.

I sighed in relief, "Yay. It's over."

"Tobi likes Kai-chan! Tobi thinks Kai-chan is funny!"

"Oh. You are still here," I said, disappointed.

"Bitch, you have fucking guts," Hidan said as he approached my sitting form.

I slowly got up as the remaining Akatsuki members approached me. "Or she is an idiot," Sasori in his ugly state said to me, calmly. I say ugly because I find his old guy puppet state a little disturbing.

I felt a hand pat my shoulder. "She will get along with us just fine, un," Deidara said to me with a grin.

"Are you rich, girl?" Kakuzu asked me.

"I wish," I said, sadly at the lack of money I had back in my old life. Yeah, I was able to live comfortably but I never had enough money to spoil myself with.

The man chuckled at my answer, "Don't we all. Money is everything."

I heard another person chuckle behind me, "Looks like you belong here after all, girl."

I glared at Fishy, "I don't know if that was meant as a compliment or an insult."

He smirked at me, "What if it was an insult."

I smirked back, "I'd kick your ass to the ground, Fishy."

"Kai-chan! You shouldn't threaten people. Tobi is scared you will get hurt," he said, sounding worried.

"Relax, Tobi-kun. Fishy here will be deep fried before you know it," I winked.

The Akatsuki members moved back more towards the cave walls, leaving Kisame and I in the middle. Oh, what did I get myself into this time?

"Big words for a little girl," Kisame said with a smirk as he got himself ready for a fight.

I grabbed my shoulder and stretched them out getting ready for what was to come. Maybe it wasn't smart of me to challenge an S-rank missing-nin but I did it anyways. I stopped stretched and looked at him with a smirk as I stood confidently, "Let's make a bet. Make it more fun."

He looked at me confused than his smirk came back, "Alright. What is the bet?"

I put my fingers to my shin as I thought about it, "How about whoever loses has to be a slut and kiss all of the members in this circle?"

His eyes widened for a fraction of a second, "Haha, if you wanted to kiss us all you needed to do was ask." The members all looked confused but some had some excitement in their eyes.

"Is Tobi bad if Tobi wants Kai-chan to lose?"

"I think everyone wants her to lose, un."

Yeah, I guess the guys would rather kiss a girl rather than Kisame.

"Deal," Kisame agreed with confidence.

"Tobi says start!" Tobi said and just like that Kisame grabbed onto his shark skin sword and lunged at me with full strength.

My eyes widened, "Oh shit." I dodged just on time. "Fuck! I didn't say kill me!"

He smirked, "Get ready to be a slut."

Well it was time for me to get serious. I was in a disadvantage since I had no weapon and Kisame had his sword. In other words, I was screwed.

All I could do was dodge all his attacks and I felt myself getting tired. My body hurt at the places he managed to hit; my ribs, my left arm and my right thigh. I wasn't going to last for very long. He was too fast. "Stop running away!" he yelled at me as the others watched on.

"I don't want to die!" I yelled back as I back flipped away from another blow. I needed to think of something quick.

Repeat these words, the robotic voice said in my head again.

Who are you? I questioned it.

Repeat these words, it said again. Awaken, light in me. Feed me strength and ignite in my veins. Come forth.

I dodged another attack and flipped far enough. Well, it was worth a shot. So I watched him as I started to say the words out loud, "Awaken, Light in me. Feed me strength and ignite in my veins. Come forth." There was a glow that clouded the vision of my right hand. When the light slowly faded, what I saw shocked me. In my hand was a white katana. It was beautiful.

"What the fuck?" I heard Hidan say, just as confused.

"I will still beat you!" Kisame said as he lunged at me again.

Without thinking a brought my hand with the katana forward to block his attack. There was a loud clang that rung in the cave as they collided together. We were now fighting over dominance. I yelled as I pushed forward with all my strength and pushed him off. He was pushed off a few feet as it let me some chance to take deep breath.

"Too slow!" He was behind me and my eyes widened as I was about to get hit again. I closed my eyes waiting for impact but when I opened my eyes I was facing Kisame and he had wide eyes. "How? With your eyes closed!"

I was confused until I realized I had blocked his attack again. It was as if the katana had a mind of its own and was manipulating my body. I pushed him back again and looked at the katana with awe and amazement. I felt it giving me strength and a feeling of warmth went through my veins. Where ever I had been hit was no longer bothering me. It was as if I had healed.

I looked back at Kisame with a smirk, "I don't know what the hell is going on but I fucking love this shit. You are going down, fish boy!" I lunged forward and disappeared only to reappear behind him and I managed to land a blow that caused him to fly forward and land on him stomach.

"You are faster now," he said in disbelief.

I looked at my body, "Like I said. I have no idea what is going on but I am loving it. I feel stronger and lighter than before." I took my stance, "Ready to get your ass kicked?"

"You are cheating," he said as he got himself up.

I rolled my eyes, "Technically you were cheating first. I had no weapon and you did. Making me had a huge disadvantage. Not to mention the fact that you are a fucking ninja."

"Yeah but you are using something unknown," he said indifferently.

I shrugged, "I'll figure it out and let you know what it is later. Happy?"

He glared, "No."

I rolled my eyes, "How about a draw then?"

He put his sword away, "Draw but next time you will face defeat."

"Sure," I said, with a small smile. Then the white katana disappeared in my hand. I suddenly found myself on the ground with something on top of me.

"Kai-chan is amazing!" Tobi said to be as he hugged me.

"Uh. Tobi-kun? Can you get off of me?" I asked him.

He quickly got off and scratched the back of his head as he laughed, "Sorry, Kai-chan. Tobi got excited."

I got up and felt a hand pat my back, "Not bad, bitch."

"If you don't stop calling me that I will kick your ass next," I warned Hidan as he called me bitch again. He only smirked at me as a response.

I felt a hand on my head as my hair began to be ruffled, "Nice job, un."

I sighed and then my stomach growl. There was a deep silence than I turned to the Uchiha, "Oi. Itachi, mind bringing me to the kitchen? I need to eat something."
