Velia's pov

Everyone is looking at me as I stand in front of the kitchen doorway. Awkward silence fills the room.

"Oh Velia! Welcome to the Akatsuki, my name is Zeta, your cousin." A girl about my age runs towards me with a huge grin on her face.

She has beautiful long, purple hair up in ponytail, her yellow eyes complimenting her face perfectly. Her yellow pedal like tatoos framing her right arm. She's a little taller than me and is wearing a black shirt and a matching black opened up skirt with bandages underneath it. She also has bandages wrapped around her forearms.

"ummm, hi nice to meet you too," I say smiling. At least she is not just staring at me like the others.

"Well introduce yourselves!" Zeta orders the Akatsuki members, glaring at them.

I admit I am shocked that she has the guts to boss around s class criminals that belong to a not so nice and sunshine group. But I guess she is an Akatsuki member too. All of this reminds me of what all of this has gotten me into. I'm practically inside of one of the bases of the most powerful organizations in this world and one of the most important organizations taking part in the anime of this world! I feel a headache starting to surface. But I need to eat something or I will starve to death!

"well!" Zeta exclaims as she notices that they are still staring at me like I'm an alien or witch. Seriously do I have something on my face or what!

Someone clears his throat, "I'm Deidara, nice to meet you" Like if I don't know all the important names in this friggin world! This was pretty shocking though. I didn't expect Deidara to be so …polite. Hmm maybe he is a nice guy afterwards. But I change my mind soon as I see Zeta give Deidara a not so…appropriate smile. Talk about disgusting!

"Itachi Uchiha," Itachi said his cool voice filling my ears. Something about that voice…it makes my heart jump whenever I hear it.

"And I'm Kisame Hoshigaki, my excuses if I was a bit...harsh before, Sea-Sea," Kisame said a little smirk on his face. What the hell! Sea-Sea? Is this a joke or is he seriously worse than Sai when he gives those lame nicknames.

"Oh Hi you walking fish stick," I came back with another lame nickname.

But apparently it was funny because Deidara and Kisame start laughing their brains out.

Kisame finally finishes laughing, "You're not bad kid, not bad at all."

"Jee thanks, being praised by Sushi, oh my dreams come true," I said with a half smile. Haha this is not so bad either.

Deidara laughs even harder. Even Itachi has a smirk on his face. I mean seriously did they eat too much sugar or something?

Zeta giggles, "Do you want to eat something? I've prepared some late night snack."

"Sure if you insist, but I prefer a late night stake for me!" Kisame booms.

"I wasn't asking you Kisame!. And anyways you already ate!" Zeta scolds. "I was asking Velia,"

"Sure," what the heck I'm starving.

I sit down on the only chair left that was next to Itachi. There was another empty chair next to Deidara but I think that might be reserved for Zeta…

Zeta brings me a plate full of chocolate chip cookies. My eyes widen. Oh my gosh I love chocolate chip cookies! They are the best!

I grab one and start munching on them immediately. The others just continue on the conversation they were having before I got here. Zeta scoots her chair closer to mine.

"So how do you like it so far?" She asks.

Well I have been kidnapped by S-class criminals. I'm currently violating some very serious crime. I just found out that my grandmother has some sort of affiliation to Akatsuki. I'm currently talking to my cousin having chocolate chip cookies while who knows what my friends are going through right now. And to sum it up, so far it's going pretty…insane. I can't find another word to describe what is happening.

"Umm fine I guess," I lied.

"I'm sure this is all so weird for you, but you will get used to it," She affirms.

"Thanks," I mumble as I take another bite of the cookie.

"So what is your job as a Segreto?" She asks.

"I'm a watcher," I say simply.

"Oh…"

"What are you?" I asked curiosity filling my insides. There are so many questions I have rumbling through my brain.

"Messenger," She said proud.

Messengers are the ones that travel from world to world and back getting information about how it's going and what is going on and bringing it back to Diaichi and the elders. It's a pretty tiring job and requires a lot of stamina.

"Cool. So what's you affinity?" I ask. These aren't the questions bothering me but it's a start.

"My affinity is that of spirit, my ability is too sense the hearts and souls of people. I can see it in my mind, kind of like an aura surrounding you. What about yours?"

"I have the affinity of Water. My ability is to control water in all of its forms," I respond briefly. I barley know these people and I still don't know if I should trust them completely, family or not.

"Oh that's cool, I thought you had the affinity of spirit though, since your mother had the affinity for Spirit," She explained.

"Yeah but I inherited my father's water affinity," I say, although I have thought that many times over. The affinity of spirit is rare in the families but it is highly dominant in the genes. Only a few families have such affinity and most don't even exist anymore.

"Ohh," She says plainly, taking a bite of a chocolate chip cookie.

"Sooo," I start, "What made you guys affiliate with the Akatsuki?" I ask the question that has been bothering me the most.

Zeta looks a little nervous, "Well our grandmother thought it was the only way to help bring peace to this world, so she is aiding the Akatsuki."

"But this is a crime," I state simply. I still don't know why she would come to these extents.

"She said she would sacrifice all for peace, I don't know much about her past but I know it wasn't a happy one either so she wants to do her best to help others, I can see it in her heart,"

"But she could help any other way. What do you think about this, how did you come?"

I saw her get even more nervous, but I needed to know this.

"When I came here…Grandma sent someone to go get me just how she did with you, she told me what was she planning and I decided to stay." She says not meeting my eyes. I get more and more suspicious. What is this and all the nervous-nes?

"Oh," I say simply. Gosh isn't this awkward.

"Well I got to go, bye nice meeting you," Zeta says as she jumps up and walks out the room without another glance back.

Deidara follows her.

I start to stand up. Did I say something?

"You should let her be, Sea-Sea," Kisame says understanding the situation. Were they eavesdropping on our conversation? Has Akatsuki gone nuts? They are supposed to be killing machines but here they are making jokes and being understanding.

"Go to sleep, you need the rest, tomorrow you start your training," Itachi says. My heart jumping as his voice rings through the room. Ugh I'm getting tired of this.

"Wait what! Training?"

Kisame smirks, "Itachi here was assigned to be your supervisor and trainer,"

What!

Itachi ignores him and continues, "You will start with the basics of shinobi training and I'll help you improve your own skills."

"Umm… ok, see you tomorrow then," I say as I walk out of the kitchen. God this was a hard day. I still don't know if I will agree to the training. I'm still not convinced about this whole situation. Something seems fishy about all of this.

I wake up in what is supposed to be my room. I check the clock on the table next to me, six o-clock. I wonder what time does Itachi want me to get up and train. I want to sleep a bit longer but I got to get up. Last night I checked the closet and there were some clothes for me there. Awkwardly, they were all my size exactly and there was even an Akatsuki cloak hanging there!

I get up and pick some clothes for me, there isn't much to pick from though. I quickly get some black shorts and a matching shirt, and I step into the shower. After Im done I change, dry my hair and leave my room closing the door behind me. On my way to the kitchen I hear some whispering form a half open door. Though I try my best not to eavesdrop, I'm a curios person.

"Befriend her, I want to know every single thing about her, about the new things going on in Daichi and about her affinity. Water can be a grave weapon and if somehow she goes against us, well I want to know her strengths and weaknesses." Says what seems to be my grandmother's voice.

"But grandmother, why would she go against us, she will have no reason," Zeta says.

"Zeta, people have to take precautions, you may never know what would happen," Grandmother insists.

"Yes grandmother,"

I stand there awestruck. Well now I know I cant trust these people. Ha! It figures! I start walking again.

I get into the kitchen and there is no one there. I sigh and pick an apple to munch on and sit on a chair.

"You're early," I hear a cool voice behind me and I instantly know who it is.

"yeah well I'm not that's much of a morning person but somebody didn't tell me when to wake up," I responded, taking a bite of the juicy apple.

Itachi grabs a pear and eats quietly. After a moment he breaks the silence.

"You are going to have to tell me your skills and your abilities so that I see in what areas do you need less and more help in," Itachi informed getting up and throwing away the remaining of the pear.

I take the last bite of my apple and throw the remaining away, "Sure."

Nervously I follow itachi out a door that seems to lead to a training ground outside. There is a big clearing surrounded by trees, the air fresh and the sun shining, reminding me of the beuty of Daichi-

Itachi's cool voice snaps me out of my reverie, "I understand people like you have a certain affinity, I want you to tell me everything about your affinity and how you use it,"

I nod my head and start, "My affinity is water and I can control water in all of its forms: water, ice, and vapor. I use water to fight, ice to create weapons and to protect and vapor to conceal."

I don't tell him everything though. It would be a bad idea if Itachi came to be an enemy and know all of my strategies and skills, though he kind of is an enemy.

"Hn….but that's not all,"

I snatch my eyes up and look into his eyes. My heart stops. How could I have forgotten his sharingan! And even though he didn't have his sharingan on im dealing with an s class criminal ninja here, trained to detect lies or other things!

"Itachi Uchiha I barely know you and I'm sure you will understand that confessing all of my skills to the means of you is the last thing in my list," I say hoping he will understand.

"Then how do you expect me to train you," he says mocking.

"I don't need your help," I say faintly.

But all he does is smirk, the sight of those perfect lips chilling my insides. "Orders from the boss say that I will train you so you will become a useful spy."

"You know, I know more about you than you think right?" I say challenging

Itachi raises his eyebrows.

"My grandmother also knows everything,"

"What do you mean?" Itachi asks revealing no emotion at all but taking a step forward.

Gulp. I hope I'm not doing a mistake.

"My grandmother, cousin, and I know everything about your past and how strong your ties are with Akatsuki, if she hasn't said anything about it yet, well maybe she is just planning something," I inform him.

Itachi loses his calm and takes a kunai out, "Tell me everything you know,"

Now it's my turn to smirk, "First you have to swear your real loyalty to me," Hmmm maybe I'm going a little bit too far? But oh well I already started so I have to finish.

Itachi rushes to press a kunai to my neck, but with some effort I stop his wrist by creating a ring of ice around his wrist. A skill I use to keep someone from moving his arms or legs by controlling the ice on their wrist and keeping their arm from moving farther. Although i have other, better ways of paralyzing people, I use this technique the most.

"This will not be enough to stop me little girl," Itachi says calmly.

But im one step ahead of him, " I know, but you cant kill me, at least not yet, I have quite some useful information that you might just want to know,"

Damn! What am I doing! I'm committing a serious crime myself! But I can't help it, in order to solve this puzzle of my grandmother; I need someone strong on my side.

"I have other ways to extract such information from you," Itachi states.

"Itachi, I'm not completely human, you see my mind is formed in a way that it makes it impossible to extract information," I say triumphantly.

"why would I swear my loyalty to the likes of you?" Itachi refuses to budge.

"Easy, you're either in my side or my grandmother's," I start.

"Explain," Itachi orders.

I roll my eyes, " I think my grandmother and pain want to take over the world,"

"Shouldn't I know this already?" Itachi says unfazed.

"Yes, but I know you are not really as bad as people think you are,"

"Meaning?"

"Gosh! Itachi, then you swear your loyalty to the good side!" I say sounding lame and dumb.

"Why would I do that?" Itachi mocks.

"Because if you don't, I will tell everybody who you really are," I threat.

"I will kill you before you do that," Itachi states.

"Well then my grandmother will get mad and be against you, then you would still be against her so just swear your loyalty to me!"

"Hn,"

"You will?" I say surprised.

"No,"

"Damn it Itachi, why do you have to make everything so difficult!"

Itachi smirks.

"Damn you Uchiha!"

"You are right," Itachi states, his blood red eyes meeting mine.

"About the damn you part?" I ask confused.

He smirks and raises a perfect eyebrow, "No, about my ties with Akatsuki, but that doesn't mean I should be loyal to you,"

I sigh in defeat.

"But I will not tell her your skills, I give you my word on that," Itachi states without a trace of emotion.

"Really?"

"Hn, but I will continue to train you," Itachi explains, " I am still obeying orders from Akatsuki for now,"

I smile. Well now I don't have to worry about that. Now I KIND OF have an ally. But for goodness sake why did it have to be Itachi?

Hope you guys liked it! if you have any questions just ask :) and pretty plz review and ill give you yummy cyber chocolate chip cookies! :) oh and yeah Zeta and Deidara...a couple...shivers, but true.
