Hey peoples. Its time for a new chapter. Yay!! I would like to thank Aster Uchiha and one other person for giving me reviews. The other person was an anonymous review but still a review. I would also like to say that you're idea sounds interesting but I'm not sure if I have the time to do it. I'm also still not entirely sure where the story is going but you're reviews help.

Dei- What do you mean you're not sure where it's going. Just make her fall in love with me. yeah...

Ami- Her is standing right here if you don't mind.

Dei- And? I don't get enough love. Seriously. yeah..

K-What the hell are you talking about? I've seen plenty of fanfiction about you.

Dei-Yeah. All about me and Sasori.

K- They are not. At least not all of them.

Dei- Whatever. yeah...

K- (eye roll) Idiot. I sadly don't own Naruto. If I did, Deidara and Itachi wouldn't have died and Sasuke would have been killed.

Dei- O.o I die?

K- Ok on with the story!!

Begin chapter Three!

According to Sasori, they were almost to the hideout. 'Finally.' She wasn't sure exactly where they were, but she guessed that they were no longer in the Land of Fire.

Eventually they arrived at a large boulder. Deidara made a few hand signs and it slid aside, revealing a doorway.

"We're here, so try to stay close. Not all of the members know of your arrival, so to them, you are just an intruder."

She nodded and followed them inside. It was rather nice looking despite it being built from a cave. It had been changed to look like the interior of a home. She smiled, amused by the homely look.

Deidara noticed her expression. "Just because we're criminals doesn't mean that we don't like to live comfortably." She nodded and continued to follow them. Eventually they arrived at a door.

"This is Leader-sama. He will decide whether you stay or not. Zetsu-san already told him about you. Let's just hope that Zetsu liked you and said nice things. yeah.."

"I stabbed the dude."

"He seemed to find that amusing. Not to mention it showed us that you were a healer. That's something useful."

She gave him a confused look. "Why in the world would he find that amusing?"

"He kinda weird like that. yeah.."

She just raised her eyebrows. "Whatever. I'm going in." She raised her hand to knock, but before her hand touched the door, it opened. 'Doors opening on their own. Lovely.' She walked inside and shut the door behind her.

It was pretty much bare. There was a table in the center of the room with a lamp on it. Sitting behind it was a man with orange hair. His face was covered with piercings. Behind him stood a blue haired woman.

Ami bowed respectfully. "I am Ami. Nice to meet you."

There was a short pause, then the man spoke. "Pein. But you will address me as Leader-sama. My men seem to find that you have an interesting ability."

"My kekkei genkai. I can make very powerful weapons out of chakra. I am also a healer, trained in the leaf by Tsunade-sama herself."

He nodded, acknowledging that he was listening. "And what possessed you to leave your village?"

Her face hardened. "I'm sorry, Leader-sama but I would prefer not to answer that. I would prefer to just say it was a personal issue and leave it at that."

"I would actually prefer to know. How do I know you aren't a spy."

She actually laughed, despite the fact that she was talking to the leader of the Akatsuki. Although, the laugh was a bitter one. "Yeah right! Those jerks aren't ever going to get my help again. Not after what happened. But I will tell you this, someone caused me pain and I killed them. Simple as that, but apparently, to the people of Konoha, the fact that I was hurt doesn't even matter." She frowned, stopping as her voice had gotten slightly louder. She forced herself to calm. "It makes no difference now. The got what he deserved, and I gave it to him."

"May I ask who this person is?"

She sighed, not wanting to talk anymore about it, but she knew that she probably couldn't afford to hold back information at that point. "If you must. The person I killed was Sasuke Uchiha."

Pein eyebrows raised. "What did he do to encourage his murder?"

Ami glared at him, despite the fact that it was at her possible leader. "I already told you, I don't want to get into it."

He nodded but said nothing. After a moment the woman standing behind him leaned down and whispered something inaudible into his ear. He nodded again, before setting his eyes back on Ami. "For now I will let you join. Konan will take you to your room."

She was momentarily stunned, but she nodded. "Thank you, Leader-sama." She bowed to them before turning away. She opened the door, exiting the office. Outside waiting for her was Deidara; Sasori had already left.

"So what happened? yeah.."

She smiled at him, putting the conversation with Pein out of her mind. "I'm a member of the Akatsuki."

He grinned. "Awsome!"

She rolled her eyes at his enthusiasm, but continued to smile. "I'm going to my room now. Maybe later I can meet the others."

"That would be nice. See you later then. yeah..."

She said goodbye and followed Konan down the hall. She passed a few men in Akatsuki cloaks but none were in the records she had examined so she didn't know who the were. After walking for a minute a man in an orange swirly mask came running down the hall.

"Hey what's your name?!"

"Ami."

"Hello Ami-chan!! I'm Tobi. Tobi is a good boy!!"

"Um, hi Tobi." His extremely hyper attitude was odd. What was a guy like him doing in the Akatsuki?

"Nice meeting you Ami-chan! I'll see you later ok?" He took off down the hall.

Ami looked at Konan questioningly, but she didn't say anything.

Finally, Konan stopped at a door and opened it. Inside was a bed, a dresser, and a closet. There was also a private bathroom. She was grateful for that, glad that she wouldn't have to share a bathroom with the other members, who, from what she could tell, were mostly male.

"This is where you will be staying. My room is two doors down so if you need anything don't hesitate to ask. I am the only other female here and I highly doubt that you want to be with males all of the time." She handed her a cloak.

Ami smiled slightly, finding that the Akatsuki was indeed composed of mostly men. "Thanks Konan-sama." She put the cloak on over her clothes. It was bulky but she would get used to it. Konan spared her a small smile and began to leave when Ami stopped her. "Um, do you know where Deidara is? He's supposed to introduce me to the others."

"Of course. Try to remember your way around. It will make things easier for you." She exited the room with Ami following. After leading her to another door, she left, probably off to do something else for Pein. Ami knocked on the door slowly.

"Deidara-san?" She called softly. There was no response. After a minute, she tried the handle, finding that it was open. She slowly opened the door.

Deidara was snoring quietly on the bed. She walked over and poked him on the forehead. "Wake up you. You're supposed to introduce me to the others."

He opened his eyes and sat up. "This is kinda cool yeah..."

Ami gave him a curious look.

He laughed. "There's a hot chick in my room. yeah..."

"Ass." She punched him on the shoulder. "Why the heck were you sleeping anyway? It's the middle of the day. You're a shinobi. No time to be lazy."

He yawned. "Sasori-danna and I had just finished a mission when we found you. After missions it's best to rest up. yeah..."

"Why do you say yeah after your sentences?"

"Habit. yeah..."

"I see. So... Are you going to show me around?"

"I don't see why not. yeah..." He pulled the sheet off and stood up. He was still dressed in regular clothing. He put on his Akatsuki cloak. "Let's go. When the members aren't on missions they are usually in our makeshift living room. We'll see who's there. yeah..."

"Alright. Sure."

He led her down a different hallway and into a large room full of couches. Along a wall, there was a decent sized television. There were a few men in Akatsuki cloaks sitting around the room. A blue skinned man who she was sure was Kisame Hoshigaki looked over.

"Whose the hot chick?"

Annoyed, she flicked a marble sized ball of chakra at his head. He moved his head to the side, and it bounced off the wall harmlessly. "I'm the new member, Ami. I decided I should see who my allies are. Nice to meet you. Kisame-san I'm guessing?"

"Yeah, you guessed right. Nice meeting you too. One of our teams is currently on a mission. They'll be back soon."

"I see." As she spoke, a redhead walked into the room.

"Hey Danna. Just introducing Ami to the members."

"Nice to see you again Sasori-san."

Sasori nodded at her in acknowledgement and took a seat. He was rather quiet.

She was about to sit when a man with black hair and red eyes passed.

"Uchiha!" Acting on reflex she slammed him into a wall. She realized her mistake a split second later. The Uchiha she knew was dead, meaning, she just slammed someone else into a wall. She knew there was only one person it could be. Itachi Uchiha. She immediately let go only moments later to find herself pinned against the wall instead with a kunai to her throat.

"Why did you attack?" He asked in a monotone voice. She looked down, not looking at his face for fear of looking into his eyes. He spoke again, his voice not changing. "Answer." She knew that she had no choice in the matter.

"Because I thought you were your brother, and he's supposed to be dead."

He released her not even a moment later. For a split second there was a look of sadness in his eyes, but it immediately disappeared. It was gone so quickly, that if she had blinked, she would have missed it. "Dead. How?"

She looked at him with a mix of anger and hurt, trying to keep her emotions in check. "Let's just say he deserved it and leave it at that shall we?" She looked over at Deidara. "Thanks for showing me around. I'm going back to my room now." She walked out, leaving all who had been sitting in the room confused about what had just happened.

After finding her way back to her own room, she took of the cloak and threw it to the floor. Then she allowed herself to fall on the bed before curling into a ball.

Deidara's pov

Deidara watched her leave. 'What the hell was all that about?'He looked at Sasori.

"Do you think I should go check on her? Yeah.."

"Do whatever you want. I'm not going with you though."

Deidara glared at him. "I wasn't asking you to."

Ami's pov

Ami was still curled up on the bed when she heard a knock on the door.

"Ami-chan? Ami-chan are you in here?" It was Deidara.

She ignored him. Seeing that bastard's brother had put her in an anti-social mood. She didn't feel like talking to anyone at that particular moment. After a few moments she heard the door knob turn. She opened her eyes, looking over.

Deidara

He slowly opened the door and walked into the room. He didn't want to invade her privacy but was rather concerned. He was relieved to find her fully clothed on the bed rather than walk in on her while she was indecent. At any other time, he would have probably enjoyed something like that, but not now.

"Are you alright. When you left you seemed upset. yeah..."

"I'm fine. Now please leave."

'How stubborn.'He thought. 'Well two can play it that way.'

Ami

She watched him walk over and lay on the bed. He crossed him arms. "I'm not leaving until you tell me what's wrong."

She gave him an angry look. "Don't put your dirty shoes on my bed." She pushed him off and he crashed to the floor. He immediately got back on the bed but this time he sat there instead.

"You're changing the subject."

"Does it matter?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I want to know."

She looked at him and found that there was a look of concern on his face. 'Why?' She sighed. "You really want to know?"

Deidara nodded, watching her.

"Fine then." She sat up before bringing her knees to her chest and hugging them. She had no idea why she was telling the blond anything, but she figured that it really didn't matter.

"Well you know how I had said that Itachi's brother was dead and had deserved it? Well, when I was in Konoha, he had returned from Orochimaru, apparently having killed him. Unlike the other girls I really didn't care. So what if he was cute? He was an ass for doing the things he did. He apparently found it interesting that I didn't fawn over him like the other kunoichi, and took a liking to me. We soon became friends, but then he betrayed me in a way that I could not forgive. You know the result. I ended him. When I saw Itachi-san earlier I had only glanced at him and well... He looks a lot like his younger brother..." She paused for a moment, not looking at him. "I thought I saw a dead guy so I freaked."

"You're leaving something out. yeah..."

"Nothing that needs to be talked about. I've told you the facts of the story; That's really enough."

"Will you ever talk about it?"

"I'll tell you eventually. But not right now, alright?"

He sighed but nodded, giving in. "Alright, I'll drop it for now."

She smiled slightly. "Thanks Deidara-san."

It was his turn to smile. "Just Deidara please. I'm not really your superior, and if you called me -kun it would just be strange. yeah..."

"Thanks Deidara. Could you tell Itachi-san that I'm sorry. I feel tired, so I think that I'm going to turn in for the night."

"Sure, yeah..." He grinned teasingly at her. "I kinda remember you saying something to me about sleeping during the day. Something about being a shinobi means no time to be lazy."

"It's 7:00 now."

"Whatever, yeah." He said, still smiling at her slightly.

She tried not to roll her eyes at him. "Good night... Deidara."

"Good night, Ami-chan." He looked at her for only a moment longer, before walking out of the room.

Slowly, she felt sleep sink in.

End of Chapter Three

Alright that took way too long for my liking. Usually I have the whole chapter planned before I write it but this one I didn't and it took forever. And if any of my reviewer actually guess what Sasuke did I'll tell them if they're right or not.

Dei- What did he do? yeah...

K- You'll find out when I have Ami tell you. yeah...

Dei- Stop copying me. yeah...

K- I don't want to. yeah... Anyway I can't wait for more reviews. I promise I'll update faster!!
