Forever Different

Chapter 3:Brothers and Memories

Once again,the two were in the dark eerie meeting room.The two quickly bowed before asking of the situation."The member of our organization that was on a mission finished early.However,he's being tracked by hunting ANBU.Nazashi,I need you to locate his area and Nai,get Itachi.Zetsu,hurry to the scene and delay their travel after Nazashi finds them.Now go!"Within a mere minute,he'd found his location.As Itachi and Zetsu went to the area,they spotted the fight and killed and got rid of the hunters.Now,the whole group was in the dark room once again as they were introduced.

"Today,as you know,our missing member returned from his mission early.He was never introduced to our latest members,so please let me introduce Nai and Nazashi to him."As leader finished the sentence,a young man wearing the akatsuki cloak stepped into the light.On his back was strapped a giant scythe with three blades.Platinum hair was streaked back in way that reminded Nazashi of oil.Nai's eyes widened along with the new members when they realized a strange similarity in between them-their eyes were both the same shade pink."N-Nai-chan?"The member stuttered,fully aware of who she was now."Hidan nii-san!"Nai ran up and glomped Hidan dead on."Holy shit I thought I'd never see you again!Thank jashin that you're alive!"Coughing in the background interrupted the two siblings as Leader demanded and explanation.

"Basically,we both come from the Hidden grass.But during those big wars and shit,we were seperated from each other.I ended up finding leader in Ame and Nai was found in Konoha along with Na-"before Hidan could finish,Nai's fists pounded against the marble table,leaving a small crack on the black and white stone.A tear was spilling from her eye and her voice quivered."Don't talk about him.I never want to remember.So shut the hell up,Hidan-niisan."She got up from her crossed position and left the room,leaving the akatsuki to wonder."Hidan,tell me what she's talking about."Pein's eyes narrowed,immediately suspicious of exactly who the hell he had been talking about.Hidan shrugged,also suprised by Nai's sudden behavior."Beats me,I was only talking about our older brother who was with her when she was found-Nabi."

Nazashi walked through the hallways,sipping on a cup of coffee. Since childhood,he'd stolen these from his roommates and drank inhuman amounts of it every day.'Who was Hidan talking about?I didn't even know Nai had siblings...that name...sounds familiar in a vague way...'He tossed aside the thought and concentrated on not getting lost in the akatsuki's long hallways.The base was in an island on the middle of a large lake,surrounded by storms and hurricanes thrashing around the water.The hallways turned and twisted and had secret rooms located everywhere.He approached Nai and his shared room and unlocked the door.He noticed Nai quietly lying down on her bed and walked over to her after setting down his coffee.

"Nazashi,not now."Nazashi sighed at his arrogant friend."Nai,who was Hidan talking about a while ago?" "I don't want to talk about it.He's just a person I knew."Her eyes widened as Nazashi jerked her forcefully up."You're lying.Tell me who the hell Nabiake is now!"CRACK!Nai punched his face,knuckles and jaw colliding and making a gut wrenching crack.Nazashi stumbled back,pissed at the taste of blood in his mouth."Damnit Nazashi!LEAVE ME ALONE WHEN I SAY SO!!"She took another aim and hit his shoulder,another crack ringing in the air."Just tell me who he his instead of punching me!"His eyes narrowed,expecting a fight."Who was he,Nai?Just tell me and I'll go!"Nazashi raised his arms,prepared to block Nai's hits.Nai frowned.She sat on her bed and let Nazashi sit too."He was...my other brother."

"Nabi was my brother that was with me when we were attacked during the wars.When we stumbled across Konoha and lived there,he took care of me.He was my closest brother along with Hidan.His hair was like Hidan's,only less slicked back.His bangs were orange like mine,but the rest was silver like Hidan.He was older than Hidan by two years and six for me."Her eyes dulled sadly as she paused for breath."What happened to him,Nai?Why'd I never meet him?"Nazashi wondered how he'd never met them before,even when he knew her for years."He only was with me for two years.When I was nine and I met you,he was already dead.He was killed by ANBU who accused him of crime.They found the real criminal a month later."Tears spilled from her eyes.Nazashi comfortingly wrapped his arms around her,letting her cry into his clothes until she fell asleep in a few minutes.

'Nabi...hn?where am I?Wasn't someone holding me just now?'Nai got up,stretching.'Oh yeah...I was talking to Nazashi about Nabi...wait...I have a fight with Itachi today!I'd better eat.'She walked to the dining room,where everbody except Hidan was."Hi everybody.Where's Hidan?"The members shifted uncomfortably."He's...doing his morning rituals...don't ask it takes a while."..."Okay...weird."She ate quickly and went out to the yard and waited for Itachi and Nazashi.

"Begin!"Nai immediately jumped into the air,hanging onto the walls to try to predict any movements.'He won't use the mangekyou probably if he's only testing.His eyes are gonna go blind if he keeps on using them like I've heard.'She withdrew a scroll from her kimono like top and bit her thumb to withdraw blood to activate the scroll's seal.Out came a long metal pole with two feather like blades on both ends in a scythe way."My specialty scythe-built like a metal feather."Itach used a fireball jutsu,covering the area underneath her with flames.'Um...shoot.I should've thought of that...oh well.I'll improvise!'

"Doton:Mountain Formation!" The ground rose to form a small mountain,10 feet tall.Before anything else,she jumped on top and prepared another jutsu."Doton: Landslide."The mountain crumbled down,sweeping up Itachi.He pulled out,kunai in hand.Nai withdrew her scythe.They clashed together,metal clanks echoing through the air.Nazashi,who watched from a balcony talked with Pein."She's fast,almost as much as you with your shirome."Nazashi shook his head,disagreeingly."Even with 75 pound weights,she's fast.Without my shirome,she always is faster and lighter.Quickly kill and run off-a sttyle fit for ambush assassinations."

After around 10 minutes,Itachi began to have the upper hand.He cornered Nai and used a doton and suiton to keep her stuck in place.'Well,crap.I'll try this.'She gathered up more hand-seals to preform another jutsu."Katon:Flame jutsu!"She aimed for their feet,drying and cracking the mud and fending off Itachi."Good.Not bad,you have potential too.Very fast-footed,aren't we?You pass."Nai smiled and relaxed from her stiff position."Thank you,sir."Leader then came down to congratulate the two."Now go study in the library.Take a nap if you want.
