"Talking"

'Thinking'

Black Zetsu

.:3rd Person POV:.

Amber oculars rolled once hearing that cheesy line, slowly turning aside to face outside the vehicle as it took off. Tobi, who was excited to see the female counterpart of their now finished organization, plopped in the backseat with her, gaining her attention. She blinked slightly and arched a cobalt eyebrow on question, making the masked man giggle.

"Hello there, pretty lady! Welcome to the Akatsuki! Does the pretty lady know when our debut is going to be?"

Slowly, she shook her head. She didn't know much, other than their goals, members, and the name.

"No. I have yet to gain such information.."

She murmured, making the man bounce excitedly in his seat.

"Oh, oh! Tobi can't wait! When the pretty lady and Tobi get to the base and get the pretty lady settled, then Leader-sama said that Leader-sama will tell you!"

Konan grunted before turning back away, resting her head on the window. She was rather tired, since she never got a wink of sleep ever since her fight. Nor did she get any medical assistance. Her injuries were throbbing with piercing, sharp pain. She never showed it, but Pein, who was highly observant knew that it was effecting her more than she showed. Along with the fact that he was the one in the dojo, watching her grow. He most likely knew her more than she knew herself.. Which was saying something.

It wasn't long until they pulled up into the driveway of the base, Konan dully noting that there were many of expensive cats, trucks, and vehicles such as the chrome covered hummer. With a light sigh, she shook her head before opening her door, and hopping out. She awaited for Tobi, as he hopped out with an excited hum, turning and grasping her suitcases as Pein shut the hummer off. Tobi closed the door, as Pein hopped out, closed the door, locked the hummer, and lead them inside. He lead them down a hallway, before turning down intricate paths, only stopping once they got to the rooms. It was a large hallway with doors for each of the members, all having different signatures to them indicating which door belonged to whom. Konan's was a dull grey one, in which she would most likely soon change for something that fit her style. Once they entered the room, they set Konan's suitcases inside before turning towards her. Pein was the one to speak first.

"Angel. You'll have to wait on sleep for a while longer. Follow me, and we'll tell you when we make our debut."

Slowly, she nodded her head as he turned, leading them both to the meeting room. He set out Tobi to gather the members as Pein turned towards her once they were alone. She tossed him a bland look before turning towards the table, only to hoist herself up on it.

"I had an assumption that it was you, carrot top."

Pein smirked at his old nickname, slowly nodding his head with a light chuckle, turning around to go retrieve the first aid kit. Once he had it in his grasps, he turned towards Konan as she raised her shirt up to the bottom of her breast, allowing his grey-ringed gaze to spot the purple, blue, and sickening yellow patch of skin laying dormant over her ribs. With a sigh, he really had to be amazed. This woman could handle pain that would have a grown man yowling out in pain. She was definitely good for the Akatsuki, that was for sure.

"Holy shit, Pein! If I would have known you were going to do that kinda' shit to the bitch, I would have come sooner!"

Two cold glares shut him up as the Jashinist scoffed and looked away, walking over to the large couch and plopping down. The rest of the members did the same, as Pein resumed to treat her wound. He was about to sterilize it, but stopped before the alcohol soaked cloth hit her most likely throbbing skin. This was going to hurt.

"What are you waiting for?"

Came her reply as he blinked before pressing it to her skin. She paid little attention to the sharp pain, the other members, along with Pein taking notice of this. Most of them, even Hidan, would have reacted at that. It was startling to see this female didn't even blink an eye, hiss.. Or show any signs of pain whatsoever. He quickly finished, putting ointment on the wound and bandaging it up before turning his attention to her wrist. Once again, she paid little to no attention as he finished shortly. Placing her shirt back in proper place, she adjusted herself to get more comfy before yawning lightly.

"So.. Did ya' tell her, un?"

Blinking, amber oculars turned towards the blonde before she slowly shook her head with a light sigh. It was then that Pein gained his attention, and the meeting began.

"Konan. Our debut is going to be in about a week. We assume that you'll be well enough to at least come view each of our fights?"

When his answer was a nod of her head, he continued.

"Good. Also, due to our new debut, we're all going to change our opening themes to something more fitting. Yours will me Miss Murder by AFI. As for anything else.. If you have anything to question, come to one of us. We'll answer it to the best of our abilities."

Konan simply shrugged before sliding down from the table, turning towards the door.

"Well, if that's all, I'll take my leave."

"I'll walk you back."

It startled everyone as the Uchiha stood, two blank faces meeting each before she shrugged her shoulders. Not like it mattered. Either way, she was going to sleep. So, with a nod of her head, she turned back towards the door and began walking back, Itachi following.

The way back to her room was filled with a comfortable silent. Once she was at her door, she turned towards Itachi. Only.. He was much more closer than expected. Blinking, she tilted her head up, seeing as she was simply staring into his chest. He caught her by surprise as he caged her in, making her lean against the wall to get as much personal space as possible. Her breath hitched once he leaned in, ebony hair ticking her collar bone as his hot breath fanned across the shell of her ear, making a shiver roll down her spine.

"Be careful around here, Angel. The Akatsuki is a close organization.. You wouldn't want anybody other than the Akatsuki getting hurt if you were to make friends with them."

And with that, he pushed away from a surprised Konan, turning and walking back towards the room. Her eyes narrowed then, before a light huff escaped her lips. Turning, she opened her door and then closed it, locking the knob after. She went to her bed and plopped down, deciding to put her stuff away and get settled later. Closing her eyes, she allowed herself to fall into a light, dreamless sleep.

'... Stupid boys..'
