"Pein we need to talk," I demanded early the next morning.
He led me to his office and closed the door behind me. He then leaned against his desk with his arms crossed over his chest.
"What do I want Koori?" he asked slightly annoyed.
"You sound impatient," I walked around to sit in his chair "Or maybe you don't want to see me."
"That's not true," he snapped.
"Or maybe you're upset with Itachi," I saw him tense "May I ask why?"
"You may not."
"Then I won't," I paused glaring at him "Tell me why you're mad at Itachi."
"I told I not to ask."
"I didn't," I shrugged still glaring "I demanded."
"He wasn't able to get the information I wanted."
"Out of me?" he was silent and that told me everything, I looked out the window "I'm leaving this place"
"What?" Pein shouted "Why?"
"I thought you were a mind reader," I teased smirking at him.
"I can't read your mind," he confessed "I wanted Itachi to find a way inside."
'I choose who can and can't read my mind,' I thought.
"Why is that?" he asked reading the thought.
"My mind is a dangerous place filled with secrets of the past, present and future."
I got up to leave but Pein grabbed me by the waist and pulled me close. He rested his forehead on my shoulder.
"Please don't go," he begged "All I ask is to be inside your mind. I promise not to look further than the present. If I do, I'm truly sorry."
"I'm leaving now so let me go," I demanded.
Finding Chitou wasn't hard; she was playing with Deidara in the living room. She took one look at me and knew that we were leaving. She dropped everything and followed me out.
"Where are you going?" Deidara asked also following.
"I don't know," I replied then thought 'I just can't stay here with Pein and Itachi.'
"Why not?" he asked reading my mind, when I didn't answer he tried to think of a different question and still followed "Will you ever come back?"
"Probably not."
"Then I'm going with you," he replied after pondering my answer "I was forced to join the Akatsuki by Itachi and never really liked it…or him."
"Then get rid of the cloak and ring," I smiled "If you so desire, join us."
He quickly got out of the cloak and took the ring off. As a final goodbye he blew them up.
"Very nice," I complemented.
