My eyes felt heavy.

...Where am I? I think I'm asleep but I'm not sure.

I open my eyes, squinting at the bright light shining in my face.

"Ugh..."

I tried to yell but my voice was cracked. How long was I sleeping?

I tried to move, but I was tied down to a hard metal bed by belts. I heard a distant beeping. Footsteps approached and I could hear murmering outside of the door.

The door opened. "So your awake?"

I didn't respond.

"Well, it's good that you are anyways because we've all been waiting for you to wake up for 4 days now."

I stared at the man speaking to me. Orange fiery hair, with multiple peircings on his face and ears.

He began speaking. "You're here because I want you to join our organization. Itachi and Kisame found you and brought you here, so we did some research. Another Jashinist it seems, and your name is in a lot of bingo books, according to Kakuzu."

I didn't know half of what he was talking about.

"I... yea..." Was all I could manage.

Outside the room:

"I wonder what she looks like." "I do too, and it'll be nice to finally have another girl in the Akatsuki." "When do we get to meet her already? We got here four fucking days ago, how long can a woman sleep god damnit!" "Hidan, we used a tranquilizer that supposed to last about 4 weeks" "Well, she's awake now, so does it really fucking matter?" "...Yes."

Inside the room:

"...So Kisame and Itachi brought you from one of our bases to the Akatsuki Headquarters. We used a tranquilizer to put you to sleep for a couple of weeks until all of the members arrived. Now, when your ready, you can go meet all of the members."

"Ok, but what if I don't want to join the Akatsuki?"

"It's either that or die."

I sat there pondering that thought.

"Dieing can't be that bad." Pein's face twisted into a bored are-you-serious look.

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding!"

Everyone was in the living room, waiting for me to go in there and meet them. I felt kind of nervous. I mean, I was going to be living in a place full of 8 guys! I wonder how the only girl feels about that.

I walked in as Pein opened the door.

It was a normal living room, with bunch of people sitting on some couches. They all stopped their conversations and looked at me.

"Um... hi." I stuttered suddenly feeling nervous.

"Hey there." One of them spoke. He had long, blonde hair with part of it tied up in a ponytail. "I'm Deidara."

"Hi, Deidara, I'm Chinatsu." All the others were silent.

"Are you going to introduce yourselves, or what?" I said staring them down.

The group consisted of a short guy with red hair, Deidara, the only girl who had blue hair, Kisame, the guy with blue skin and looked like a shark, Itachi the person with the wierd scar/wrinkles, and a guy with white/grey hair slicked-back. My eyes locked onto his. We were both expressionless. Deidara walked up to me waving a hand in front of my face.

"Hello?" He looked at my gaze pointed toward the man. "That's Hidan, he's into Jashin, or what ever it's called. I wouldn't mess around with him, he's got a pretty bad temper and foul mouth." Deidara explained, my eyes still on Hidan.

Neither of us talked, until both of us nodded.

I was accepting him, and he was accepting me.

I looked over at Deidara.

"Did you say something?"
