Hidan: I hope so, Read on and enjoy people. Please review and comment afterwards.
Chapter 7: Reunion?
Deidara's P.O.V
"Sasori no Danna, why are you out of Hiruko?" Pain and Konan ask as they arrive with not one but six children, "I did not want to scare Hinata," Sasori simply replied while looking at the children. "Who are you kids, hm?" I asked what he was thinking as Hinata began to stir and woke up off us, "Neko-Chan are you here," she asked rubbing her eyes as we woke up. When she opened her eyes to see six children, she hid behind Sasori and I, "Dei-Chan, Sasori no Danna, who are they," she asked quietly from behind us. "I'm not sure Hinata-Chan, hm," I replied and turned to the kids, "She looks like Neko but she does not have cat features and has my mother and my eyes," she said and walked to the 7 or 8 year-old girl. "Who are you?" she asked shyly, "I'm her twin sister Hyō, and these kids are Mizushi-jin, Shujin, Amara, Alex & little Gaara," she explained gesturing to first a light blue haired girl around her age, a boy with long dark blue hair, then a purple haired girl, followed by two boys with spiky red hair, one had a gourd and was around Hinata's age. "Hello everyone, but where is Neko-Chan and Tora-Chan?" she greeted and asked quietly, "I'm here Hina," Neko said waking up from her hiding place in Konan's arms and jumping down to hug her little sister, "Neko-Chan!" she exclaimed excitedly and hugged her big sister, 'I wish I had a sister, un,' I thought smiling at the two girls. "Itachi and Tora are on their way now," Pain reported, "Tora and Itachi-San?" Amara asked softly. "You know Itachi Uchiha?" Kisame asked her, she nodded a 'yes'. "We were in the same clan, I was his brother's best friend," she explained quietly, "I was kidnapped when he killed our clan that left Sasuke and I as the only survivors," she continued. All of a sudden the sound of growling stomachs filled the room, "Hehe, we kind of never eat for two days," Shujin with a toothy grin while rubbing the back of his head and we all laughed. "I'll make you kids something to eat, Dei would you like to help me?" Konan asked me, "Sure Konan Sama, hm," I said as we went into the kitchen.
Sasori's P.O.V
"Gaara, you are from Sunagakure, the fourth Kazekage's youngest son?" I asked the small boy nodded, "Gaara Sabaku no, the one tailed beast Jinjuriki," I stated this information more to Pain but it also surprised little Gaara that I knew all this so I simply explained that I used to live in Sunagakure. "Now you boys still have to introduce yourselves," Pain said but the boy, Alex I think, stopped his friends, "No, you have to tell us who you are and about your abilities," he said in a serious voice. "Ha, the kid has got a mouth," Kisame said and laughed, "What are you going to do if we don't want to kid?" he continued mocking Alex. "This," he replied as he appeared behind Kisame with a kunai held to his vital point, "What?!" Kisame shouted, "How?" he asked. "Alright, Alex, I already introduced myself and Konan, the rest of the Akatsuki will tell you about themselves," Pain simply said as Alex lowered his kunai showing he accepted. He looked at me, "I am Sasori, everyone here calls me Sasori no Danna because I am a 35 year old puppet master also known as Sasori of the red sand. It is my eternal art, human puppets. My partner is Deidara, you can call her Dei, she just joined us two days ago. So far we know she is an explosions expert with other talents, she believes art is fleeting," I said. "Kisame, one of the 7 Ninja Swordsmen of the hidden Mist village. I'm a skilled swordsman, of course, and I specialise in water jutsu. My partner is Itachi Uchiha, one of the last Uchiha's and has Mongeku Sharingan," he said as Mizushi-jin and Shujin asked if they could learn some water jutsu and sword techniques. "Alex, time for you kids to introduce yourselves," Pain said to Alex who nodded. "Well, you already know Gaara, Shujin is our expert swordsman and offensive water jutsu specialist, Mizushi-jin's chakra control and nature makes her an excellent medical jutsu user, Amara as you gathered is an Uchiha and she has awakened her Sharingan, Hyō has Byakugan that she has mastered at her young age her partner is her ninja cat Raion, Neko and Ao Runa (her ninja cat and battle partner) possesses the Neko no me and Byakugan, this gives her cat like abilities and the power of the Byakugan & I'm Alex of the Fasuto Haki clan, fast as lightning and super strong, with one punch we can turn our enemy to dust," Alex finished just as Itachi arrived with a beautiful girl in a red & blue kimono and a ninja cat on her shoulder close behind. "Tora, Yūjō, Tachi," Neko & Hinata said as they both ran and hugged the two ninja. "You look really pretty in your Kimono, Okii Neko," Neko said with a smile, "Thanks Koneko, but I like my ninja gear better," she said with a smile as her blue eyes spotted the purple hair, "Amara is that you?" Itachi & Tora asked as they made their way to her. "Great to see you two are still together are you'll married yet?" she grinned as they laughed and enveloped her in a hug, "What?!" the rest of us exclaimed in shock. "Married?! This day gets weirder and weirder," Kisame said his mouth practically on the floor as he looked at his partner hugging his little purple haired girl with this other girl, Tora. "Amara, I've never been happier to hear your teasing and no we're not married," Itachi said with a smile that made the rest nearly fall backwards, 'Itachi never smiles!' I thought, "After 5 years tell me you are at least engaged, I mean you told her to marry you when you both are older and you'll are older, practically adults," Amara said as Kisame fell down. "Nope, not engaged either," Tora said with a smile, "Sasuke was right you do take long Tachi," the little girl said, "Food is ready," Dei's sweet voice called from the kitchen, 'Guess I understand why Itachi is smiling now,' I thought with a smile. "Still did not change out of this Kimono," Tora said softly, Dei heard her when she entered, "Heya, you must be Tora, I've heard quite a bit about you, hm, if you want I can lend you some comfortable clothes to wear," she said with a smile, "Yes, thank you. You must be Dei, I also have heard a bit about you," Tora replied and began chatting with her as we all went and sat at the table.
Itachi's P.O.V
I sat down next to Tora and we began to eat, it was easily noticed that the kids had not eaten for a while as they were gulping down the food, "Woah take it easy," Dei who was in between Hinata and Sasori said to the kids. "Sorry Dei," they said and slowed down a bit, "Hey Tora did you know that Hyō is my twin sister?" Neko asked Tora, who nearly choke on her food, "Hyō? Twin sister? I have another little sister?" she asked in disbelief as Hyō explained everything, "So father did die," she said solemnly and continued eating. We just finished our meal when two figures entered the hideout "I'm back with my partner, who are the kids and girl?" Kakuzu said with his partner Hidan close behind while we were talking. "Welcome back, we will have a discussion but first you must eat," Konan said to them as Kakuzu nodded a 'thank you' and sat down to eat, "Thank you beautiful, but what is a pretty face like you doing in the Akatsuki? You look as harmless as an angel," Hidan asked Konan, 'Openly flirting with Konan then calling her harmless, not good... for him,' I thought as she replied, "I am an S-ranked ninja, do not doubt my skills," she stated and walked away. He spotted Tora and was about to go over to her but I intercepted him, "Not a good idea," I said calmly, "I'll have no regrets," he said and went to her. "Hey there gorgeous..." he started, "Don't want to hear it I'll soon be engaged," she stated simply expecting him to walk away, "but we can still have fun while you are not engaged..." he continued but was interrupted by her foot kicking his face, 'Should have warned him she is patient with everything else but men that do not get the message, I've seen it first hand,' I thought remembering our academy days.
*FLASHBACK*
"Hey Tora, how about you come tutor us sometime?" our classmate Gankona Haruno asked Tora with a smirk with his friend Sumāto Yamanaka. "Just pay attention in class and you will learn," she said and continued walking, "Come on Tora, you're the smartest and prettiest girl in the class help us out," Sumāto said. "Sorry Sumāto but I have to concentrate and improve if I can do even better," she said and continued walking, "You do not want to help because you just wish Itachi will consider you more than a rival that you beat every time and think getting even stronger will make him take that step, but we all know he will not. Come on Tora you should just give up on him, he may be a prodigy but he has no idea about love. He will never give you what you want most from him, he is useless at that," Gankona said, "Shut up Baka!" Tora exclaimed as she turned around and kicked him through a tree. "I do not give a crap what you think of Itachi, he is still my friend and I do not appreciate the way you are speaking about him. Leave him out of trying to convince me to help," she said and turned to walk away, "Oh and Sumāto here's a notebook with steps on how to understand the work we have. I already memorized it," she said throwing him her notebook; I smiled from the tree I was on as I watched the scene in front of me.
*END OF FLASBACK*
'Gankona was right I had no idea of love, I was so stupid back then,' I thought, "Yes you were, nice flashback," Tora mentally said to me with a wink, "Aim to please, beautiful," I replied with a smirk which earned her sticking out her tongue and making a cute funny face.
Pain's P.O.V
'The only reason we brought in Hidan was because he is immortal and will therefore not be killed by Kakuzu, he was not brought in to flirt with our female members. I have the perfect way to teach him a lesson and how to test our soon to be new members,' I thought as I called a meeting with the Akatsuki. When all nine of us were in the meeting room I opened the meeting, "I suggest that these kids and Tora join the Akatsuki," I stated, "It is a good idea many of them are highly skilled but we will have to test these abilities, I think against our newest Akatsuki member, Hidan," Sasori said annoyed at Hidan for flirting with Deidara before the meeting. "I agree but I would like to test Tora," Itachi said, "Why do you want to face her and not let me?" Hidan asked clearly annoyed that he had to fight with a bunch of kids and not any girls. "I need to fight her because she was at my level the last time we fought so I need to know who has gotten stronger," Itachi explained, "Fine you may test Tora," I said to him. "All who agree with our plan?" I asked as only Hidan refused, the rest were in agreement. "Good, I will inform them," I said as I ended the meeting and went to the children, "Would you like to join our organisation?" I asked watching Alex while the rest of the children agreed excitedly jumping at the opportunity. "Alex, we can improve our skills if we stay," Shujin said, "They seem trustworthy, even though they are criminals," Mizushi-jin added, "Please Alex," Amara, Hinata and Hyō said with meows of agreement from Hyō and Neko's ninja cats. "Well Alex, it seems they make a good argument, so?" Neko said with her blue-green cat eyes never left his red eyes, he let out a sigh and smiled at her, "Alright guys," he said looking at his friends wearily and turned to me showing no sign of emotion, "We will join your organisation," he stated monotonously. "Good, you must rest for tomorrow you will have to defeat our newest member to see what rank you are. The girls can stay with Tora in the guest room, if they want, and the boys can choose where they want to sleep," I said and went to Tora as they continued chatting, "Do you want to join the Akatsuki?" I asked her as she mentally weighed the options. "Okay, but on one condition," she said, "What condition?" I asked her, "I never do a mission in the leaf village that will damage or leak intelligence on the village," she said seriously. "Agreed," I said and turned to leave, "Rest in the guest room, tomorrow you have to fight Itachi," I added.
