4. My Way/Disgusted
I sat awkwardly in the Akatsuki hideout. All the Akatsuki watching me
intently. Pein...Konan...Deidara...Sasori...Hidan...
Kakuzu...Itachi...Kisame...Tobi...and Zetsu. It was there judgment
time. The time for them to tell whether or not I was useful for
Akatsuki. The room was dark and not too big, but big enough for a long
table fit for ten. Pein sat at the head at the very far end, Konan
right at his side.
Uchiha Itachi...once was known as a Rogue Ninja. He was forgotten. But
here he is, staring at me with his Sharingan eyes. His fingers pressed
together and his chin resting on them. Tobi sat next to him. Well,
that's what the files had called him by. He was quite a mystery. With
that orange mask in the way, no one knew who he was.
Sasori looked rather bored with all of this. His eyes were soft but
uncaring, his face stone set and unconcerned.
I was brought up with chains so I wouldn't escape. My back was leaned
up against the stone wall and I was left with nothing but my bra and
panties.
They were judging me and my body. How physically well I was, where it
seemed my flaws were and how strong I looked.
"It's rare we have a woman with us." Itachi sighed.
"Tell me Pein, are we to use her for pleasure or battle?" Sasori asked
Pein.
"P-pleasure?" I asked.
"Pleasure is out of the question I assure you," Deidara stood up. "I
could never allow for such a woman to be used. She's too strong for
that. And she was an experiment of Orochimaru's."
"We can't afford to get distracted," Pein nodded. "Especially by the
body of a woman."
"What're you talkin' about?" Hidan burst out. "You have Konan and-"
At that moment the door of the judgment room slammed open and Uchiha
Sasuke stepped in, followed by Suigetsu, Karin and Jugo.
"I suggest you keep your outbursts to yourself." Sasuke said to Hidan.
Then he walked over to me and put his finger under my chin and studied
me.
He had grown, I'd never realized how much of a handsome man he was.
His dark eyes drew me in and his hair spiked naturally and was silky.
His skin was flawless and a beautiful pale. He fit so well in an
Akatsuki cloak.
"Mitarashi Anko, huh? Cute. Oh that's right, you're a young Jonin. 18,
my age." Sasuke smirked.
His age? Oh, that was right. When I had been a Chunin proctor I was
around the age of 15, looking older than my own age. Uchiha Sasuke had
taken something that I had from Orochimaru. Pills from Kabuto that
made your mind more developed and your body more developed. Therefore,
it was easier for the Ninja to fight. Sasuke and I had taken the pills
that developed to the age of 18.
We were the same age.
"Suigetsu," Sasuke ordered. "Get her down."
"Yes, my lord." Suigetsu said sarcastically, cutting the chains with his
sword.
I fell forward and Sasuke caught me before I hit the ground. Pein stood
up.
"Uchiha, we are still debating on what she'll do for Akatsuki." Pein
protested.
"She'll be a new member. You all are sick to think she'll set up to
be here for pleasure. Women deserve a chance as much as men do.
Somebody, give this woman some clothes before I decide you all are
deserving of death as well as the Leaf." Sasuke snapped.
Karin handed me a comfortable mesh shirt and pants with combat boots
and my cloak. I pulled the clothing on and Sasuke took my hand like a
gentleman and lead me out of the room.
"I'll show you to your room, Mitarashi-sama." Sasuke said as he led me
up the stairs.
"Looks like you've grown, Sasuke." I commented.
"You haven't changed at all." he responded.
Sasuke opened a door in one of the dark hallways and turned to me.
"This is our room."
"Our?"
He nodded. "All Akatsuki memebers of share a room with at least one
other person."
Sasuke stepped aside to let me in first. I nodded and stepped into the
room. Sasuke's side of the room looked a complete mess. Bingo books
and Ninja handbooks stacked but toppled over. Papers with the faces of
Leaf Shinobi on them were scattered all over the floor. His bed was
small with ruffled black sheets draped over it. But it looked as if
he didn't sleep because of all the weapons and papers with symbols,
scribbles and writing were left on the bed.
I picked up one of the documents on the floor with a picture of Sai's
face on it.
"This...are secret important documents of the Anbu Black Ops Unit," I
recognized it. "Their names...date of
birth...missions...ranks...everything... How the hell did you get
these?"
"I have my ways," Sasuke shrugged. "I never really sleep, and when I
do happen to sleep or I've been injured, I'd sleep on the empty bed,
which is your be now." Sasuke pointed to the empty bed on the other
side of the room.
On that side the walls were blank, the bed in perfect condition, the
floor was spotless...I needed to fix that. I sat on the bed, finally
taking notice to how exhausted I was. I slipped my Akatsuki cloak off
and laid down, using it as a blanket. I clutched to the cloak,
wondering why it was so cold in the hideout, it was fall wasn't it? It
shouldn't be this cold yet. Sasuke walked over to me and draped his
own cloak over me.
"I apologize for the drop in temperature Miss Mitarashi. The hideout is
near the Village Hidden in the Snow. It's always cold around here,
even worse in Winter. But better in Summer."
"What time is it?" I asked him, rolling to my side to watch him,
wondering why I was so tired.
"About 11:30 in the evening." he said, sitting on his own bed.
His chest was bare since he hadn't worn a shirt underneath his cloak.
He brought his feet together and tilted his head to watch me. Those
deep dark eyes gave me goosebumps all over. What had Orochimaru made
this innocent boy into?...Well, he wasn't much of a boy anymore. This
man. Had Orochimaru actually...improve Sasuke?
Sasuke activated his Sharingan and watched me intently. What was he
doing? What was he seeing? He licked his lips for a moment, then shook
his head and laid down, pushing all his papers and weapons out of the
way to the floor. He put his arms to the back of his head and stared
at the ceiling.
His muscles flexed an I felt my face heat up.
Anko...what's wrong with you? Where had that indestructible
personality go?
"Uchiha," I grew a spurt of confidence. "I want to spar with you
tomorrow...you'll spar with me, won't you?"
"If your desire is to do that, than why not?" Sasuke shrugged. "I have
no problem with it as long as you know how to defend
yourself...after all...Orochimaru always liked me better."
I bit my tongue. Had he just out sassed me? I heard Sasuke make a
cocky smirk and he rolled to his side, revealing his bare back that
made me tingle. He mist have been training like hell with that
Orochimaru. My eyes began to droop and I closed them.
