Kit in the Akatsuki

Leaders POV~
Kisame had come in and reported to you that him and Itachi didn't have the Kyuubi vessel, which slightly angered you until he said that Itachi brought something that he thought would interest me. 'mmm this should be interesting' you thought as you sat at your desk and waited for Itachi to come and show you this "interesting" object, while doing paperwork as you waited.

~No Ones POV~
Itachi was now carrying the small kitsune to Leader-samas office, because not long after he had left the infirmary the kit was continuously tripping over his akatsuki cloak. Itachi now had her in his arms so that her weight rested on his hip as she held onto his shoulders and neck to stay on. Her ears would start twitching some at the slightest of sounds as they came up to Leader-samas knocked on one of the two doors to Leaders office and waited.

"Enter" came the cold and hypnotic voice that belonged to Leader-sama. Itachi entered silently still holding the kit in his arms. Leader-sama's ringed eyes looked up at the bundle that was clinging to Itachi's side as he sat there in the shadows waiting for Itachi to explain. Itachi walked over and sat the child down onto the floor in front of Leader-sama's desk and stood off in the corner abit.

"Leader-sama, I'd like to introduce you to the Kyuubi's kit." Itachi said gesturing to the small child, the little girl started to play around with the sleeves of Itachi's Akatsuki cloak nervously as Leader-sama got up from behind his desk and walked over to her. He bent down on one knee and looked at her, noticing her ears have now gone flat against her head telling all she was scared.

"Whats your name?" Leader asked the young kit with some interest as he watched her calmly. She was nervous and scared, all she wanted to do was see her daddy, she looked over at Itachi as if asking him if she should tell the new stranger her name or not.

"It's ok." Itachi replied using the gentle tone he had used earlier when talking to her. She nodded slightly and turned around looking up at Leader-sama.

"Daddy always called me Kit." She said in a quiet voice.

"Where is your Daddy?" Leader-sama asked monotonously, his question had struck Kit as hard as a physical blow and tears started to form in her innocent eyes.

"....somewhere.....daddy....." and with that the tears escaped from her eyes and she started to sob, her tears running in small rivers down her pale cheeks as she cried. Leader-sama stared down at the child a little stunned and unsure of what to do, he had never had to deal with a crying child and this sort of stunned him. She ran over to Itachi and buried her face into his leg, letting her cries be muffled into his leg, he bent down, picking her softly up from the ground and gently started to rock her, whispering sweet words to calm her down. (ME: Lets just say he did this kinda thing with sasuke before, k? good.)Once the kit started to settle down she just laid there in Itachi's arms and laid her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes. Her tail started to twitch now and then and Leader-sama noticed its movements under the cloak she was wearing and gently lifted it up to see her tail twitching nervously. 'well this is proof enough I guess' he thought as he looked at the now 1/2 asleep Kit.

"Itachi, I'm going to leave her in your care, seeing as how she has bonded with you already. She will live here, and once she's older she will make a good addition to Akatsuki" and with that Leader-sama dismissed them.

~Itachi POV~
You left Leader-sama's office and started walking down one of the many halls of Akatsuki HQ, towards your room. Kit was laying her head down on your shoulders silently, she stopped crying and you could tell that she was starting to fall asleep by the rate of her breathing. Fortunately, you didn't confront any of the other Akatsuki members, and soon came to the familiar black door of your room. Carefully, balancing Kit in your arms you opened the door and walked in, shutting it quietly with your foot, you made your way over to the bed and sat her down gently. Then walking over to your closet and found a small black t-shirt and walked over and removed your cloak from the kit. She was zombie-like as you dressed her in the t-shirt and then picking her up again you pulled the covers back and laid her down, gently tucking her into the bed, you looked down at her silently 'shes in my care...a child...' you weren't entirely nervous about the situation, but she was so young, and inside that little body dwelled a large amount of chakra. Sighing you turned, grabbing something to sleep in, and headed to the small bathroom to shower. Once you stepped out and dried off you changed and headed back into your room. Kit was still sleeping soundly as you gently scooted her over and slipped under the covers as well. You laid there for awhile and then you felt a small body snuggle up against you, looking down at your side you see Kit all curled up against you. Hesitantly, you placed your arm around her, and she sleepily sighed,

"...daddy..." she mumbled quietly as a small tear escaped her sleeping features. You couldn't help it, you sorta had a small bond with the kit, and soon you were stroking her hair and ears and cooing to her that everything is ok. Once she was relaxed and no longer crying you closed your eyes and fell asleep with the kit of the nine tailed fox snuggling up against you.
