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.
