Bombs and Puppets (Chapter 2: Meeting the Members and Finding HQ)

No Ones POV

Gina and Kari ran threw the forest running at top speed. When they finally reached the meadow just outside Otogakure (the Sound village) a shadowy figure was waiting for them.

"You're late." The figure replied.

"So sorry, Leader-sama." Gina and Kari both said at the same time. "We had a few problems with the ANBU from out villages." Gina explained.

"Very well." Leader-sama waved his hand dismissively. "Itachi. Kisame, the four of you will escort our new members to HQ." Leader-sama called out as four guys stepped out of the shadows. Gina smiled and Kari looked at them. 'They look like S-Rank Criminals.' She thought. Gina however was looking each of them up and down when her eyes fell on the Jashinist pendant around the neck of a white haired guy named Hidan. He had brought purple eyes, slightly brighter that her own. She figured they would get along pretty well seeing as how she, being a vampire and therefore, immortal, was a Jashinist.

"Very well, Leader-sama." The black haired, red eyed man stated emotionlessly. He was Itachi. The two followed the guys threw the forest and finally came to a stop outside a big bolder in front of the entrance to a cave. When Itachi and Kisame, a blue skinned, shark lookin' dude, moved the bolder with some hand signs, two other members meet them there. One had blonde hair and greenish blue (technically) (light blue) eyes. His hair was long and he had part in a ponytail and bangs covering his left eye. The other had red/maroon hair and red eyes.

"Who are they?" the blonde one asked.

"That's Gina and Hikari. Their from… well I don't actually know, Leader-sama didn't say and they don't have headbands." Kisame said.

"I prefer Kari and I'm from the Sun Village." Kari said shyly.

"I'm from the Shadow Village." Gina said, grimacing as she remembered the village she had left in hysteria just half an hour before.

"I'm Deidara, un." The blonde said looking at the two girls. "So, you two are the new members, huh, un?"

"Yeah." Gina said, shrugging.

"I'm Sasori." The red head said.

"How about the girls can explain once were inside." Itachi said in a monotone voice.

"Yeah, yeah, un." Deidara said turning and heading back into the hideout. Gina and Kari followed Deidara and Sasori into the cave with Itachi and Kisame behind them. Then all of a sudden it opened up into a large room with a T.V. and about three couches. There were hallways in every direction.

"Once Leader-sama gets back he'll tell you guys where your rooms will be." Kisame explained.

"O.k." Gina said plopping on the couch directly in front of the T.V. Kari sat beside her and flicked on the T.V.

"So, how did you guys get into the Akatsuki, un?" Deidara asked sitting on one of the other couches.

"We killed the feudal lords of our villages. Plus, Kari's a genius and I'm a vampire." Gina said shrugging her shoulders. Kisame and Deidara's eyes widened in shock and Itachi just stared at her.

"Hm, haven't seen a vampire in a long time." Sasori said, shrugging. Deidara turned to Sasori, still in shock.

"You knew vampires, Sasori-dana, un? Deidara whispered.

"Yeah, back in Suna (Sand village) we had a small clan of vampires. Tsuamu was their leader's name. A vampire clan is made up of everyone who were turned by the same vampire." Sasori explained.

"Yeah. Did you say Tsuamu?" Gina asked. Kari had never seen that look in her friends face before.

"Yeah, why?" Sasori asked, confused, leaning on the back of the couch.

"Did you know someone named Daisuki?" Gina asked. Now Kari understood. She wanted to know what had happened to her little brother.

"Yeah, a little boy, black hair? He was about 7 the last time I saw him." Sasori confirmed what Kari and Gina had feared.

"He was 7 the last time I saw him to. That was almost 100 years ago." Gina said looking sad.

"What, un?" Deidara asked, surprised again.

"Vampires don't age and whatever age we were when we were turned is the age we stay for the rest of eternity." Gina explained.

"Are you a vampire too?" Kisame asked Kari.

"No. Just a super-genius freak that everyone in my home village was afraid of." Kari explained shrugging.

"Oh. Well, the others will be back soon and you can meat them then." Kisame said.
