Hey, sorry it took so long for me to upload, but I had bad writers block. Good thing is, I got about thirty pages written, so it shouldn't be to bad now. Enjoy!

Abby breathed a sigh of relief in the utility room. It was calm, and quiet, except for the sound of the washermachine going.

After spending about ten or fifteen minutes in the utility room, Abby went into her bedroom, locking the door behind her. She started cleaning her room, or at least, she organized her closet. Finishing whatever she could clean, she fell onto her bed ad took a nap, she was so tired.

Kisame looked up and smiled. The chakra signature changed. She was asleep. The entire time, her chakra signature had indicated that she was stressed, and uncomfortable. They could talk freely about their plans.

Abby woke up to the sound of scratching at her door. She rolled off of the bed and cautiously approached the door. The scratching, which she realized was someone was picking the lock stopped, and the handle of the door turned. Kisame was opening the door when he stopped. Abby was standing in front of him with her hands on her hips.

"If you need something, just knock." Abby said. Kisame chuckled in response and came in.

"We've decided to show you how to use chakra. If we can do that, the it will become clear if you'll be be an asset or not."

"Okay," Abby said slowly, "and how did you decide to do that?"

"We can sense chakra, even unawakened chakra. The reason that people in your world cannot use chakra is that it has not been awakened. When chakra is not awakened b the time the person is around twenty years old, the chakra will fuse with the bloodsystem, effectivley locking it away and rendering it inaccesible." Kisame explained all this while Aby looked at him, a little shocked. "We found al this out after Hidan and Kakuzu found a forbidden jutsu. It had a jutsu for going into another world. We had Tobi test it out, and it worked. We've been accumulating resources and what not form this world." Abby was sitting on the bed at this point, shocked that the Akatsuki was in our world, almost as a backup plan.

"So why do you want to awaken my chakra?" She mumbled. "Why don't you go to a school and find the star athletes and try it on them? They would have more potential that me." Kisame laughed at this, and then said something unexpected.

"Because your chakra is unusually active. We can see your chakra trying to protect you from us. One of the body's reactions when faced with stress." Abby did have to admit, she'd been unusually tired all day, but she would never have thought that it would be because of that.

"So when do y'all 'awaken' my chakra?" She asked a bit stunned.

"Tomorrow will be fine. Oh, and be prepared for pain. Different people have different reactions to this jutsu. Some people have just died." Kisame left, leaving Abby to her thoughts.

Abby walked to the living room a bit after Kisame. Still reeling from what they told her, Abby was lost in her own world, but not so much that she didn't slap Deidra's had when he grabbed her but.

"Hands off," Abby snarled, "I ain't some IED you can do whatever with, bomb boy." Diedra looked a little confused.

"IED?" He asked.

"Improvised Explosive Device." Kisame said. "Pay some attention to what people call stuff in that danged desert on the other side of the world."

'They've been to Iraq?" Abby thought. 'What exactly are they doing here?"

Abby started dinner. By now, all of the members were back. Pain came into the kitchen to talk to her.
"Did Kisame tell you of our plans?" He inquired.

"He told me that y'all intend to awaken my chakra to see if I'm gonna be useful to you. Other than that, I'm clueless."

"I see." Pain looked thoughtfull. "If you prove to be someone we can use, we will take you back to the shinobi world with us. If not, you will either be killed, or remain here as one of our agents." Abby hoped that her chakra would be large, because if they took her back to the ninja world, she had a chance of escaping. Here, not so much.

Abby went back to making spaghetti. If there was any chance of survivng, she would find it. Abby didn't really fear the unknown. It was what was right in fron of you that she was afraid of.

Diner was mostly uneventful. Kakuzu looked as if he was pleased, and had made some money. Hidan had blood on his hands when he got back. Abby didn't want to know what it was from.

After cleaning up, Abby sat down on a stool in the kitchen. She didn't want to be distured. She'd had enough of these guys. After sitting there for a while, Abby came to a realization. Only one of the Pains was here, and Konan wasn't here. Abby figured that they were still in the shinobi world. Still thinking about this, and what Kisame had told her, Abby wondered what would happen next.

'If they take me to the shinobi world, I might be able to escape. I'll have to be wuick though, and make it to Suna, or Konaha. I know the most about them, and would probaly be safer there.' Abby started planning for possibilitys. She wondered if the timeline was still on the same path as the manga. Sasori was still alive, so she decided that it was, at least, Shippuden. Maybe about to get Gaara. She went back to cleaning.

After she finished, she started to go back to bed. She was dreading tomorrow, and what it would hold. She fell asleep faster than she thought.

The next morning she woke up at 6:00. Groaning and mumbling about stinkin Akatsuki, though those weren't the exact words she used, she got out of bed. By breakfast time, Abby was wearing a tank top and loose pair of capri pants. She figured she might as well be comforable going into her pain session.

"Your training will comence today in half an hour." Said a voice, interupting her thoughts. Abby whirled around, not surprised that she hadn't heard whoever it was. They are, after all, s-class nunekin.

"Kay." Abby replied to Kakuzu. "I'll be wherever." Kakuzu left and Abby relaxed. 'This is gonna be painful.' She thought.

Abby changed into some loose military style capris and a black tshirt with the arms cut off, and a sports bra. She walked outside, and saw Itachi, Tobi, Pain, and Kakuzu standing together, and talking. There was a circle with eird symbols drawn around it.

Pain looke up and spoke. "Stand in the circle." Abby complied. They all got into place around her and started making hand seals. The circle started glowing, and Abby collapsed. She didn't have any control over her muscles. Then the pain started. Abby tried to scream but couldn't. Her lungs wouldn't work for her. Abby had never felt anything like this before in her life. Yes, she had broken bones, but this surpassed them all. Her muscles started twitching around, and she could feel that her entire body was rocking and such.

Finally, after about twenty minutes, though it felt like an hour, the pain stopped. Abby just lay there breathing, trying to think. The pain had practically blinded out all thoughts. After laying there for a few minutes, Abby had recovered enough to get up. She stood up shakily, looking around. Kakuzu was thie only one left outside. Everyone else had already gone inside.

"Congratulations." A voice called out. Deidra. "You didn't die, and it seems that you have a large amount of chakra." Strangely, it seemed like she could feel where people were, and her senses were hightened.

She walked back to the house, albeit shakily, and opened the door. By the time seh got inside, she felt good, better thatn before actually, because of her chakra being awakened.

Abby realized that there were three ninjas watching her.

"You need to learn chakra control now." Pain. "I assume that you know the principles of chakra?" Abby nodded. She had seen the show. "Your chakra levels have proved satisfactory." Pain looked at her. "Itachi will train you, and you will come to the shinobi world with us at the end of four months." Pain commanded this and walked off.

"You will address me as sensei from now on." Itachi walked off to do whatever it is that he does. Abby realized it was near lunch time, and started making some rice and asian stir fry for lunch, after cleaning up of course. This was going to get interesting.
