Deeper and Deeper the two went. As they went deeper down the base the lighting became dim and soon vanished. Tsuki eyes adjusted to the darkness, but failed to notice a few objects and often hit them, tripped over them, or ran into them and every time she hit something she could hear the masked man laugh slightly. Tsuki could feel her face turn red every time she ran into something and hearing the man laugh. He seemed to enjoy her running into things. Of course she didn't.
"Why don't you tell me if something is there!" She growled and punched Tobi in the arm. He seemed to smile and replied with his innocent voice.
"I'm sorry! I'll let you know next time." He gave her a thumbs up and she snorted in response. "Oh, watch out on your right. There's a spike trap there."
"Huh?" Tobi quickly grabbed her as the spike trap went off. Impaling the air where Tsuki would have been if it wasn't for Tobi's swift movements. She was cradled in his arms and her hands were around his neck.
"Are you taking a fancy to me already?" He chuckled. Tsuki finally realized what she was doing and urgently jumped out of his hands.
"As if!" She huffed in dust and air and sneezed. "God it's dusty in here. Are we there yet?"
"Yeah, it's just ahead. Now stay close to me." He continued to walk and Tsuki walked right beside him. She felt a strange feeling around him. Her heart would beat rapidly and she couldn't think of anything to say... well besides yelling at him, but he seemed to enjoy that. She felt this way when he saved her from the traps too.
Tobi went through a lit tunnel and at the end two Akatsuki members were waiting for them. One was a woman with blue hair and a paper rose in her hair. Her orange eyes were cold with some black eyeliner and blue eye shadow. There was also a piercing on her chin. She was sitting down, one knee up and her hand on her knee, open with paper bird flying around her hand. The other Akatsuki was a man. He had spiky orange hair with black piercings all over his face. His eyes seemed dead and... wait his eyes were different. They looked like grayish ripples of water. Both of them had Hidden Rain village headbands with a long line right down the middle of them. The mark of a rouge.
"Welcome, Hanashii Tsuki." Spoke the rippled eyed man. His voice was deep and dark, it made Tsuki shiver. However his voice wasn't as scary as Tobi's masculine voice.
"Umm H-Hello..." She said silently, scooting a bit closer to Tobi.
"Welcome to the Akatsuki. You may call me... Pein and over there is Konan."
"Pein and Konan... O-Okay... Why am I here?" She said with all the courage she could muster.
"We want you to join us Tsuki. You power is unfathomable. You rival the Tailed Beasts!"
Tsuki stared at Pein with disbelief. "Rival the Tailed the Beasts? But, their like super powerful and stuff right? How could I rival them!? I'm just a outcast with some weird power that the elders are afraid of."
"And that power is exactly what their afraid of. They think that you may be a Jinchuriki. Which isn't true, but with your power it sure seems like it."
"But I don't even know what my power is! All I know is that whenever I'm around the moon or moonlight I get a surge of power and that whatever it is, is inside this now." Tsuki held up her moon necklace that Tobi gave her.
Konan glanced over at Tsuki then at Tobi. Pein did the same, but didn't say anything to him.
"Taking time to control your power. We will help you with that, each of us. But for starters." Pein showed her a table to his right and on it was the same dark robe with crimson clouds on it. There was also a neckband on the table that said Yami on it.
"Yami..."
"It means darkness. We are filled with the rings, so your an additional member. As am I." Tobi showed his neck and he had a neckband that said Sagi-shi. "It means Deceiver."
"Deceiver and Darkness. Heh." She managed small chuckle. Pein lifted in eyebrow in curiosity. Tsuki took he neckband and tied it around her neck.
"Very well. I'll join."
Pein nodded at her response and handed Tsuki her cloak. "Each day you will train to master your powers, you will also go on missions with each member. For now, I'll just let Zetsu show you around and introduce you to everybody. Oh and one more thing. We don't have enough rooms so your going to have to sleep with someone or somewhere else."
"W-Wait, slow down! Whose Zetsu and sleep with someone!?"
Tobi laughed, his childish laugh. "Don't get your hopes up! They are not that interested in you... Well except maybe Dei-Sempai!"
"Dei-Sempai?" Tsuki asked with more confusion.
"You'll figure it out soon." Replied Pein. "Zetsu!" He shouted and there was a short silence before Tsuki felt a presence behind her.
A large green, white, and black figure appeared. It looked like a large venus fly trap with a human body inside. Half of the body was a different color. The right was black while the other was white. The black side had a complete bright yellow eye while the white had a normal looking eye with a yellow iris. However both sides had short, green hair that was a bit spiky.
"Yes Pein?"
"Take the new girl and show her around and make sure she meets everyone."
"Of course." Zetsu spoke again, but his voice was different. Like Zetsu. This voice seemed more cruel.
"W-What-" Tsuki was cut off by the softer voice of Zetsu.
"No questions, just follow us and do whatever we say." The plant began walking and Tsuki looked at Tobi one last time before following Zetsu. For some reason she didn't want to be away from Tobi...weird.
