Note: Hey I apologize ahead of time; this chapter does have cursing in it due to Hidan so I thought I'd give you a warning. It's all bleeped out like this: f***. So yea, it's not as bad. Anyways enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 3 – Deal

I noticed that my brother was starting to wake up and I was somewhat happy yet upset at the same time. How do I explain this to someone? I mean I didn't even believe it and why would my brother? He didn't watch the show so there was little they could do to prove and what if they got annoyed and killed him? That brings me to why I'm also happy. If he's awaking up then that means that for sure he is alive.

While I was deciding whether to be happy about my brother's waking up Deidara tried to ask me something. But I was still staring at him and Deidara didn't seem to like being ignored; he turned my chair so that I was facing away from my brother.

"Did you even hear me, hm?" Deidara asked, the annoyance was clear in his eyes.

"Uh, no? I guess I wasn't really listening to you." I answered. There was no point in lying since whatever he asked was probably important; to him anyways. Deidara sighed and Pein said something instead.

"You said that we were dead; well some of us. How did we die?" Pein asked. I figured that was probably Deidara's question too. But I didn't really know if I should answer. Wouldn't they kill me after they got the answers anyways?

"Um… Why should I even tell you? I mean you'll kill me right after you know what you need to right?" I asked.

"Right, but if you answer now, b****, then you will live longer." Hidan said. He was sitting a bit too close to my brother for my liking holding his scythe. I knew what his abilities were and I wanted him nowhere near either of us.

"What the hell? Who are these freaks?" Ralph asked and then started to struggle and glare. He was clayed to the chair and seemed annoyed about it.

"Untie us!" Ralph commanded but no one made a move towards him. He continued to struggle until he tipped over and fell on his back. I could hear the breath get knocked out of him and flinched slightly. It sounded like it hurt.

"Hidan, move his chair over here. He will be questioned as well." Pein commanded. Hidan grumbled something and lifted Ralph's chair back up and then dragged the fussing boy over to his leader.

"You will both tell us everything you know about us and are supposed deaths. Any refusal to corporate will be treated with punishment." Pein sounded dead serious about the last part and I panicked a little.

"Asking my brother will do you no good. He never watched the show, only I did." I answered, hoping that they would believe me. I wasn't lying either; Ralph wasn't into anime so he never watched the show with me.

"You keep saying that we are a show or something like that. I don't buy that s***. It all seems like a f***ing lie." Hidan said and looked at Pein before saying;

"Can I just kill them now?" Before Pein could answer I quickly spoke up.

"No! It's not a lie, I swear!" I had to convince them that I was telling the truth and Hidan rolled her eyes.

"Swearing that something is true doesn't do s*** for you. Why should I believe you?" Hidan asked and picked up his scythe and walked over to my brother.

"Ah! Because I can prove it!" I was panicking a little- no not a little, I was full on freaking out. He was going to kill my brother unless I proved I was telling the truth and could be of some use for them. Thankfully Pein stopped Hidan from cutting my brother in half and he looked at me.

"You say that you can prove it? Then prove it now." He obviously had little patience and I wiggled in my chair.

"I will prove it but you need to let me out of my chair first. Once you do that I'll get my evidence and come back. I just need to go to my room." They all looked at me skeptically.

"I won't run I swear, besides you have my brother out here. I won't leave him behind and you can send someone with me if that's what it takes. There is no way I can outrun a ninja, I mean come on. I'm weak!" I was trying to convince them and a few started laugh; unshockingly it was Deidara, Kisame, and Tobi. I just ignored them and stared at Pein. Trying to convince him it was okay to let me up.

"Konan will accompany you. You only have two minutes, four tops. Go." Pein commanded and Deidara took his clay off of me. Ralph stared at me and I know he wanted me to run, but I wouldn't leave him here to die… So I ran down the hall with Konan following close behind me.

I flung my door open and hurried in; luckily my Naruto DVDs were put away so those couldn't be seen. I went over to my nightstand and pulled out a manga from the drawer and then ripped a poster off my wall; I didn't have a lot of time. I hurried back into the hallway and shut the door. Konan looked at me with cold eyes and then glanced at the poster with a hint of confusion.

There was no time to explain even a little bit so I hurried back out of the hallway where the kitchen and living room was. My brother was still alive, but gagged, and everyone else was watching me carefully. I walked over to the table and put the poster down first and saw a few eyes widen. I had to resist my urge to smile at their surprise and then I put the book down and stepped away from the evidence.

"There, that is a poster of all the members and then the other thing is a manga. It is a chapter from the series Naruto. That's where you guys are from." I said and then looked at my brother; he looked disappointed.

"That little brat has a show named after him?" Kisame growled slightly and I just ignored him.

"You can all look at this, then you'll know that I'm not lying to you." All of the members took turns flipping through the book and looking at the poster. I walked over to Ralph but there was always at least one member next to us to make sure we didn't run. I watched and saw that each member would go through a cycle of emotions. Some showed on their faces while others, Itachi, showed no emotion at all.

After about ten minutes they all finished looking and Pein looked uneased for once. He also seemed annoyed.

"How much do you know?" Pein glared in my direction and I just wanted to crawl under a rock and hide.

"I know how a few members die and that your goal is peace. Then some things about Naruto, Sasuke, and a few other of the leaf ninja." I made the conscious decision not to mention I knew who Tobi really was; or who he said he was. However an emotion flashed through Itachi's eyes when I mentioned Sasuke's name. Maybe that could be a good way to get him on my side.

"How did my Akatsuki Members die?" Pein asked.

"Wait a minute. I will not say anything else until we make some sort of deal." I said, which may have been a bit stupid because now I had a kunai to my throat.

"Or you could tell us what you know how." Pein said, he hadn't moved and I wondered who was holding the kunai against my neck. I wouldn't just give in though, I needed to know that they were not going to kill us tonight.

"I just want to make a deal. I will tell you how each member has died, but I will only tell you once a week in the order of who died first and last." I said, but Hidan snickered.

"What makes you think you're in any position to be making deals?" He asked me.

"Because I have information how you all died.. That being said then you will know how to prevent your deaths if you go back. All I ask is that you let us live; at least those couple weeks. And um, in that time you can stay here. We have a lot of spare bedrooms." I was hoping that this would work and seemed to have. Pein was thinking about it and then he made a motion with his hand and the person who was threatening to cut my throat open stepped away.

"Fine. Now tell us who died first."

"The first to die was Sasori."
