Chapter 3: Members of Akatsuki

Deidara and Sasori were walking towards Jonathan and hadn't noticed him because they were quarrelling about the topic of art.

"Ouch! Who's that un?" Deidara bumped into Jonathan who was daydreaming. Jonathan turned around and saw them and blank-out.

"Who's this with weird dressings? He does not look like he's from any village." Sasori pointed out.

"... Can I have your autograph please?" Jonathan said in admiration. "I have always admired strong guys... Can you train me to be like you?" Jonathan asked with dreamy eyes.

"Hmm I think you've got the talent to do well... Follow us then." Sasori reached out for Jonathan.

"Why are you taking him back with us un?" Deidara disagreed on his actions.

"He's got the talent like I had just said! We didn't sense his presence earlier on until you bumped into him." Sasori explained.

"..." Deidara stared at Jonathan, "What's your name? Where are you from un?" Deidara asked.

"I'm Jonathan, from Singapore." Jonathan answered truthfully.

"... Singapore? Where's that?" Deidara and Sasori asked.

"Er... My country. Somewhere far far away." Jonathan replied.

"Ok... So you must have come from a very far place. Come with us, we have a place for you to rest and then we'll train you to be good enough in our standard." Sasori took the lead to lead them back to the hideout.

Regina and Rebecca who were hiding behind the trees far away from the three of them saw Jonathan being welcomed by Deidara and Sasori and were surprised. They hadn't thought that he would be accepted.

Itachi and Kisame were also on their way back to the hideout from their mission from another route and had already noticed Regina and Rebecca hiding behind trees.

"Who are you people? What are you doing here?" Kisame questioned.

"Er... We're Singaporeans." Regina answered truthfully.

"Take them back with us. We might need to interrogate them. They seem suspicious." Itachi ordered Kisame softly. Kisame went to Regina and Rebecca knocked them unconscious and carried them back to the hide out on his shoulders.

At the hideout

Kisame threw Regina and Rebecca on the floor the moment they entered the hideout.

"OUCH! What the Fuck was that for?" Regina shouted in pain and glared at Kisame. Rebecca was rubbing her sore butt sleepily.

"Oh hi Regina nee-san, Rebecca-chan!" Jonathan shouted excitedly.

"Hi nii-chan..." Rebecca replied sleepily.

"You know them?" Sasori asked surprisingly.

"Yes, they're my sisters. I'm so glad you're so efficient in finding my missing family. " Jonathan was very touched by the Akatsuki.

"Why had you brought them back?" Pain asked, not believing that Itachi and Kisame would be so 'good' to bring back missing family members.

"We had seen them when we were on our way back," Kisame explained. "They had looked so suspicious so we had decided to bring them back to interrogate them."

"They are my family, not someone suspicious. They are not bad." Jonathan shouted. The Akatsuki turned to look at him.

"Your family?" Tobi asked.

"O no... We're his pets, how nice..." Regina mumbled.

"Of course we're his family!" Rebecca found it ridiculous.

"What should we do with them now?" Kisame asked.

"We have no use for them at all un," Deidara said, "let's just finish them off un."

"I'm staying only if my sisters are." Jonathan insisted.

"..." Nobody said anything and then, "Fine, we'll keep them. But if they turn out to be annoying and useless, we'll not hesitate to kill them."

"Thanks!" Jonathan jumped in joy.
