Chapter 4
Konan finished wrapping up Saya's wound from her battle with Deidera. Saya was struggling while she was unconscious, it was like she fighting something in her dream, and it would stop and then started again. Konan left her there to rest, there wasn't much she could do to stop a bad dream anyway.
A little girl stood by her parent's room, stuck between the decisions of going in or walking away. The girl grabbed her necklace that she was wearing, it glowed in her hand, and she'd listened by the door. She heard her mother weeping and her father talking.
"There isn't much we could do. She will find out one day."
"I don't want her to think lowly of me, Yashiro. She's our daughter." Her mother sobbed in her father's arms. Saya listened, and finally wanted to know what happen and rushed in. Instead of seeing her mother in her father's arms shocked at the child, she saw blood and two dead bodies by her feet and behind the bodies, a figure with sharingan eyes. The white moon shining through the window turned red and everything became dark.
Saya sat up fast and started to gasp for breath. She grasps the blankets around her hands, her body shaking. "Mom… Dad…" She said lowly. As her breathing returned back to normal, she realized that she wasn't home like she thought she was. 'I win, you join us. You win, we'll leave you alone.'
"Oh, yeah… I'm supposed to join the Akatsuki." She sighed. She was in deep thought when the door opened.
"You're awake, good time to meet Pein." A blue-hair woman walked in. Saya stared at the women, confused that there was other woman in the Akatsuki. Being caught staring at her, Saya turned her head and nodded, and got off the table she was laying on. The walk to the office was silence; Saya was walking behind the blue-hair ninja panicking about meeting the leader of this dangerous organization.
They both stopped a two large doors, Konan pushed them open and walked in, leaving Saya outside confused on either walking in or running away.
"Come in miss." A calm masculine voice said. Saya walked in, and saw an orange hair male with many piercing on his face. She bowed to him. "Uchiha Saya? Am I correct?" She nodded. "One of members, made a deal with you to join. Correct?" She nodded. Pein sighed. "May I see your Sharingan?" Saya looked directly at Pein.
"I don't carry the bloodline trait." Pein's face was unfazed.
"An Uchiha without the Sharingan?" Konan said.
"Only half my blood is Uchiha, and I was born a girl. Women are least likely to obtain the Sharingan than men." Saya stated calmly. Since a child, Saya wasn't able to obtain the Sharingan eyes, soon she was taken to an elder to check her eyes and they stated that she didn't have the charka type to release her sharingan. Even though, she didn't have the Sharingan, that didn't make her less than an Uchiha. Pein stared at the young women in front of him. "Headband." He said. Saya cocked her head to the side, confused. Pein held out his hand. Saya then understood, she unwrap the headband around her waist and gave it to Pein. He grabbed a Kunai and slashed the headband; he gave it back to her. "Your training starts in two days. You're dismissed. Konan take her to her room" She nodded and turned to the door. Saya nodded at him and follow Konan. This was just the beginning for Saya.
-2 weeks later-
Saya threw a few shurikens at Hidan. The Jashin worshipper blocked the attack. For the last two weeks, Saya became close to most of Akatsuki members. During her time there she was being trained by the remaining ones who were not missions, her favorite sparring partner was Hidan. Though she hated his cocky mouth, he was the only one who didn't go lightly on her during their time. Saya and Hidan didn't get 5 minutes into their sparring before Konan came out and said that Pein wanted Saya. Saya followed Konan into the hideout, confused on why Pein would want her this time, She didn't do anything wrong… at least not this time.
Without knocking, Saya walked into Pein's office. A small gasp left her lips as she froze on the spot. Pein looked towards the door, and sighed. The man in front of Pein didn't turn around, but Saya knew who it was even without the look of his face. Pein motioned for Saya to come to him, as seeing that she was too shocked to move.
"Saya…" She moved a few steps, but decided that how close she'll be to the man in front of her. Pein sighed.
Silence engulfed the room. Not even the breathing patterns could be heard by the three people.
"Itachi… Is that really you?"
"Hn" Itachi turned around, and faced the women in front of him. At that moment, Itachi body met the wall next to Pein. Saya's wiping her hands on her shorts and looked at the man in the hole on the wall, groaning in pain.
"Bastard! Eight years and all you have to say is 'Hn'." Saya walked up to the Elder Uchiha, who was currently rubbing the spot that Saya punched. Saya grabbed his collar and pulled him closer to her. "I swear you'll never change. So Itachi, how does feel to see your little cousin?" Itachi stared at Saya. Suddenly the grip on his collar was released, and all Itachi saw was Saya's back exiting the office.
Itachi stared at the door, as his younger cousin left. Even after Itachi left the village all those years ago, he still visited the village to check up on Sasuke and Saya. Then when Sasuke left, he rarely visit. Now seeing Saya, her attitude was much different then when she was child, and Itachi was the first to witness this.
"She's strong Itachi, for an Uchiha who doesn't have the sharingan." Itachi looked towards Pein. "Not to mention, Beautiful." Pein smirked. Itachi growled at the orange-hair male and walked out.
"Having her here will make everything interesting." A dark chuckle escaped his lips.
Saya released a sigh. Years, before the massacre she admired the elder Uchiha and thought of him as an older brother, along with his brother Sasuke. Her reaction to punch him back in Pein's office wasn't what she wanted to do, but her emotions got to the better of her… again.
"You're different." A voice said behind her. Saya turned around and saw Itachi.
"Did you think I would stay the same after everything that happened?" She asked her voice hush.
Itachi sighed at the girl and sat next to her on the rock she was on. "One day, you'll understand and everything will fit together like a puzzle." He said lowly. Saya looked at him brown searching for emotion in his dark ones. She sighed and looked away from him.
"You always say that. 'One day everything will fit together like a puzzle'. I know you won't tell me the truth until I'm older but know that I understand your intentions and I learn about some truth of our clan." A sad smile played her lips as she looked at Itachi. Saya stood up and brushed the dirt off her shorts. She kissed the elder cheek and walked away going back to her training.
'IF only you knew the real truth about your heritage…' Itachi thought sadly as he watched the young women walk away.
