From ANBU to Akatsuki

By silver-nightstorm

Summary: When Skry left Konoha for a vacation, she had no idea what was in store for her. Why did the Akatsuki have to see "potential" in her? Because now, she's stuck with a bunch of super-hot S-class criminals. Oh dear Jashin...

Chapter 3: The Challenge

So now, I was playing ninja volleyball, me and five other guys vs. the blonde guy. I took my position in front of the net. The blonde served, and somehow, spike it over the net... on the serve. I moved in front of it, and slammed the ball down on the other side, just to have the blonde set it over the net. The boy who told me I couldn't play set the ball towards his friend (so it seemed) and he spiked it over. The blonde lunged over to the ball, and barely managed to hit it over, much to the surprise of the rest of my team. But I was still paying attention, and I spiked the ball over.

The blonde guy just stared at me.

"We won a point!" marveled one of the other guys. "We actually... won..."

"Correction..." I said, "I won!"

One of the guys actually lunged at me, and I smoothly sidestepped, and he fell into the water. And I just smiled. I then walked back to the shore, and sat down on my chair. I picked up my book and started reading.

I still can't figure out how I didn't realise that the blonde was Deidara of Iwagakure... I don't know how I could have possibly missed the presence of the many different Akatsuki members on the beach. Konan was sitting under an umbrella close to mine, and Kakuzu was having an argument with an ice cream vendor for "robbing him of 3 cents". Even Tobi was there, without his mask, wearing a giant pair of sunglasses with the rest of his face hidden by a newspaper. And the best part was that they were all there to spy on me! And... it worked...

After I was reading for a few minutes, I heard a voice about me. "Hey." I looked up, it was the blonde (who I, sadly, didn't recognize yet). "We challenge you to a volleyball rematch, yeah!"

Next to him was a guy with silver/white hair. He was clearly Hidan, but since I was in my "vacation mode," simple details like that just skipped my mind. Instead of suspecting them, I stupidly accepted their challenge... which is partially why I'm in this mess right now... me and my great ideas... no, it's actually like, me and my "vacation mode".

And me accepting their challenge was the middle of the beginning of the end of the world... if that makes any sense at all.
