+Start+

Hm, what to do, what to do? Bleh, so far nothing in this god-forsaken hell-hole. Itachi is training, Sasori is "Puppet Building", Hidan is praying, Deidara and Tobi are playing chess, the Leader is just well being the Leader in all his boring ness, Kakuzu is counting his money, who the hell knows WHERE Konan is, Zetsu is hunting probably, and Kisame is... eating. Wait, I have plenty of things to keep me busy! Like... Kisame eating!! BAH-HAHA!

I trot stealthily into the kitchen, and there is my pray... Kisame, happily munching on his nuggets 1. I quietly call my crack team of supreme squirrels. Only half though. One flicks an acorn at Kisame's head. He flinches, whips around afraid. He remembers the feeling... Oh what fun! He calms down and goes back to eating his soup. I snag and acorn and fling it in his soup, where the broth gets in his eyes. Once the infernal curry-soup-thing gets rubbed out of his eyes, he glares angrily at the soup; where (low and behold) a lone acorn sat, well, floated. Kisame pales, as he frantically searched around for the culprit; he is hyperventilating. I order my team to toss another one at him, direct hit; he screams and jumps from the table into the hall. But as AFB and I were enjoying ourselves in mass merry laughter, Hidan came back from his ritual and stared at the mess of squirrels surrounding the kitchen. Hidan slowly backs away from the sight.

After terrorizing Kisame and saluting my team off, I went to go find Itachi and see what he's up to. But instead of finding Itachi, I stumble into the living room where Deidara and Tobi re enjoying themselves in a "riveting" game of chess, and you know what? Amazingly, Tobi is winning.

"Dammit, Tobi!" I hear the blonde one scream, then I hear, "Tobi is a GOOD BOY!" As a sort of taunting way to say it. I scheme up a plan. Eh, it's not my best, but it'll have to do!

I wait until Deidara is just distracted enough to commit my plan. He seems to be well into the game. So I call upon one of my squirrels, one of the privates. He is new but has exhalent marksmanship. He tosses a seemingly unnoticeable acorn at the white (Deidara's color of the game) Bishop and make it fall onto the cold hard floor behind Deidara. He growls and blames Tobi for the misfortune. To my luck he doesn't make Tobi pick it up; instead, he gets up and finds it himself. Just a short amount of time but it was still something to work with. I crawl on the side of the table and steal his white Rook. Tobi, seemingly oblivious to the happenings, was merely staring into space. Deidara climbs back onto his hair as I hop into the shadows. Deidara, who notices something is a miss, he instantly blames Tobi for a certain missing piece.

"Tobi, did you eat ANOTHER chess piece?" Deidara growls.

"No, not at all, Deidara-senpai." The "Good Boy" answered politely. Hn, that innocence just made Deidara fume more. I was about to run off when Zetsu, le cannibal, molded from the floor; he said:

"Deidara, Tobi. The leader wishes to see you two in the meeting room. I shall gather everyone else." The plant switched faces quickly, "Please be prompt!" He smiled.

Gosh, what a freak. And I thought I had problems. Well, Might as well crash the party, Itachi was going to be there of course... Didn't the plant-man say so? No. He EMPLIED it. Haw! Am I smart or what?

I shimmy to the meeting place. Boy, those lemur/cat (Noodle/Chi) Akatsuki-hallway-outings really paid off! Once there, Itachi was the third to the last one to have to enter. After him was Hoshigaki, and after him was Kakuzu. I quickly prance into Itachi's cloak-neck.

I saw, with my perpetual vision, Itachi rolling his eyes and exasperating an inaudible sigh, 'This cat is going to drive me to drink.' I heard in my head. ... The hell?

:Itachi? You say something?: I ask in my native toung, knowing very well that he could understand.

"I didn't say anything." He replied, in a hushed tone.

:Hm, Must be the ol' voices in my head.:

"What voices?" He asked, "Wait, never mind. Shush, the meeting's about to start."

:Yes, Master.:

Pein-sama started the meeting soon after all of the members were seated, "As some of you may or may not know, my companion and dearest friend Konan was caught by Amegakure for turning on them, so she was executed. In turn, we have to find a new partner to fit her spot, for she did not retrieve her assigned Bijuu 2 yet. I want reports on who to assign a new member."

I perked my ears at this; this could be my chance to prove myself to Master! Heehee! I'm as giddy as a school girl!

"OH OH! ME, ME! PICK ME!" I shout in human toung from Itachi's collar. The Akatsuki organization looks in shock and confusion, for it sounded as if Itachi yelled out instead of the little kitty in his shirt.

I pop out of his shirt like a piece of toast in a toaster.

"This is an Organization, not some zoo."

"Says the person to let join a Fish," I gesture to Kisame, who scowled, "A puppet" I gesture to Sasori, who stood un fazed, "And a Plant." I finish off with Zetsu who just sat there, "I don't understand why I, a CAT, can't join? Is it because I'm black3? You racist son-of-a--" Itachi hushed me with a harsh pat on the head, "Hey! That costs brain cells!" I screech.

"Do not disrespect him."

"I'll diss him all I want, Fool!" I replied cockily. "Nyaa!" I squealed as Itachi glared, like the piercing flame of a spark of fire 4.

"And I'm not a FISH!" Kisame entered the conversation, "I'm a SHARK!"

I try to subside a grin of laughter, and you wanna know how that turned out? Horribly. I couldn't keep it from coming out, Cap' in! I DONT 'AVE THE POWER!! "I'M A SHARK, I'M A SHARK! KILLER OF THE OCEAN! I'M A SHARK I'M A SHARK! SILENTLY I STRIKE! I'M A SHARK I'M A SHARK! DUMBER THAN A TREE! I ONLY HAVE THREE THOUGHTS! EAT, SLEEP... EAAAAAT!!" I burst out in laughter. I have heard the village kids in the numerous towns I have visited make fun of the shark... I remembered the words clearly.

Kisame looked like he was about to jump off his rocker... Har har...

"ORDER IN THE COURT!" The leader yells. Snort, I can't believe he just said that... IN THE MEETING ROOM!

I start cracking up like the crackhamster I was. 'Kush Kush Kush5' I think.

Well, all in all, Leader-person-face-man-sama said he would think about it, if I "Prove" myself worthy/useful to the organization.

:Maaster!!: I whine like a child, which sounded as if I were a cat dying on the street since I was speaking natively to him.

"What?" He asked as we headed to the training area, all rock. No type of plush matting. Just. Rock.

The entire Akatsuki were there to watch me, the cute wittle kitten, try and BEAT a member.

The leader announces that I would be fighting... Dun nuh nuh nuh... TOBI!

"AW! C'MON! You could do better than THAT!!" I scream at the leader, he just waves it off, also a signal to start/get this over with. "Psh." I snorted.

Tobi just... Stood there. Like he had better things to do than fight a cat.

I stare. He stares. I stare. He stares. I yawn. He stares... Suddenly, he falls over...

Excuse me? What kinda fight is this? I trot to him, still in my housecat form, and stare at him som'ore. Until... Dundundun! He flings a kunai at me! Playing possum, I see! Well, you have to do better than that! I thought. I jump back, and skid a couple of feet as Tobi jumps up from his spot. He is armed with a kunai in his hand, in a battle stance position. I growl. This could be harder than I expected. I "bump it up a notch" and turn into my next form. He seems surprised, but not as much. I pace around him as he follows with his eyes, err, eye. I snarl as I force my legs to pounce onto him. He falls from the weight. I paw at his chest, but he slices at my arms to fling me off. My paw comes down at an incredible pace as it collapsed his ribcage in, puncturing his heart, lungs and Pro'lly damaging his spinal column. It seemed much harder than expected to break his ribs, but that could've been my imagination. The body underneath me suddenly poofs and I now have sediment of rock where Tobi was supposed to be. DAMN! He used a replacement! I look up and see he is twirling a kunai on his middle finger. I scowl. He prepares the kunai for flinging and as quick as he did it, he lunged it. It took all my power to redirect the kunai from his original pinpoint to a spot on my arm. It dug in at least three inches deep. This was way harder than I expected! I change into my toughest form. Who knew Tobi was this cunning? I rip out the kunai and held it in my teeth, preparing to move forward. I was as fast as Tobi, and lunged, landing on Tobi, he was oblivious for a while until he noticed the extra weight, call it being too shocked to notice but, either way I had him pinned.

"I win." I whispered. Dunno how, but I managed to win. Tobi just sat there with a kunai under his mask, yet not touching his flesh.

After the fight, and Tobi was back to his adorable self, the leader requested to see me in his office along with Itachi.

"Byaako?" I questioned, "Well, that's ironic." I sniggered. 6

"Now, even though I regret ever considering a CAT to join, I guess you would be a fine addition and Konan's death was unexpected... So yes, you are the new Konan. But, what I really question is how are we going to fit you into the cloak, how are we going to put the ring on your ... paw... and how am I going to get used to a cat on MY team 7. Now get out of my face before I change my mind."

"Do not worry, Jerk-sama! I will do my best! Better than all the rest!" I happily pranced outta the room while singing the song I cited in the sentence, Itachi following, rubbing his eyelids, and pinching the bridge of his nose; he is holding MY new out fit 'cause I was too small to carry it, and I was too lazy to change into my bigger form. AND on top of that I had a messed up leg from Tobi's attack, so I was slightly limping.

:Masssster!!: I whined.

"What!?" He raised his voice in frustration.

:My leg hurts!!:

"We'll fix it later."

Why was he acting so nice?! Is he creating a bond with me!? He is normally so cold and ruthless, he wouldn't carry my stuff! He wouldn't put up with my whining! He wouldn't let me go unpunished for disrespecting the leader! He wouldn't consider fixing my bloody leg! He ... He wouldn't do any of that kinda stuff... What had I done for him to be so... so... nice?

End

NUMEROS!!

6 Now, Byaako means White tiger... I didn't even notice until now.

7 Tha's right. Konan was on Pein's team, so yeah it's totally obvious Chi would go on Pein's team... Sorry if most of you are used to being on Itachi's team...
