"Ow." The girl said. Oki, Rikou, and Bakuhatsu were the only ones that were at HQ that were in the same room as Max. Mr. Yuugure and Jakutai were near by to wait for Kate and see if anyone followed her.
"The girl is finally up, un." Bakuhatsu said putting down his remotes. Rikou got up and walked toward the girl.
"Who are you! Back off or I'll … I'll sing! You don't want me to, let me warn you!" Max said as Rikou got closer. He stopped when he was about two feet away from her.
"You will not be harmed if you cooperate."
"Cooperate with what?" Max asked.
"You are bait, un." Bakuhatsu said also walking over Max. Max's eyes got huge and she looked at Rikou, Oki, and finally at Bakuhatsu.
"No way. You … and you … and no fricking way." Max started to say. Rikou and everyone just looked at her like she was crazy.
"She has some serious problems." Oki said standing up from his computer.
"Thank you captain obvious. I already knew that. But I thought that a fish would know that he was a freak of nature too." She said with a smirk.
"Did she just … say …?" Bakuhatsu asked, but couldn't make out everything that he wanted to say.
"You know Barbie, I thought that someone who could make bombs with their mouths would be smart enough too, but I guess the only one who is sort of smart here is the guy who hates to be a real boy. But I guess that you can't expect everyone to be smart, huh?" Max said looking around to room. The Akatsuki froze. She actually knew who they were. After that had sunk in, they realized what she had said.
"I am a SHARK, not a fish!"
"I am not a Barbie!"
"Being a puppet is not a bad thing."
"You're right Kisame, you aren't a fish, you are a jerk who betrays his partner, his friend! And my bad, you aren't a Barbie, you are a guy who doesn't know if he wants to be a guy or not and has speaking problems. And no I guess there isn't really anything wrong with being a puppet, but being human is pretty bad ass." Max said looking at the stunned faces of the Akatsuki. I mean, what were they supposed to say to a girl who just told them off like it was nothing? Kisame just turned his back and sat at his computer.
"How do you know who we are anyway, un?"
"Kate told me, duh!"
"Whatever, you aren't going to be are problem long anyway." Sasori said as he went back to sit on the couch.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Max asked.
"Kate is coming for you ad then you are free to go, unless you cause more trouble than you already are." Sasori said.
"And I do not have a speech impediment, yeah!" Deidara said.
"Wait, is that you saying you do or you don't have the impediment?"
"No, yeah!" Max just looked at him as he got angrier until he just walked away leaving Max smirking behind him. Sasori ignored her and Deidara got back to his remotes. Kisame just looked at his computer screen, not typing. He was obviously thinking about what Max had said. All was quiet until the Akatsuki heard Max talk.
"You guys … he's staring at me!"
"Who is?" Sasori asked.
"Bob."
"Who's Bob?"
"The crack in that wall..." Max said as she looked scared. The Akatsuki just looked at her like she was crazy … again.
"What? He is being mean to me!" Max said looking at the Akatsuki. The all shook their heads and ignored her. Max stayed quiet for about ten minutes before she couldn't take it anymore.
"Hey, betrayer! I have a question for you!" Max said to Kisame, who looked up with a glare.
"What." He spat at. He did not like that nickname.
"Why did you do it?"
"Do what?"
"Betray Itachi." Kisame got up from his computer and walked toward Max.
"Hey, don't get too close or I will bite your finger!" Max warned. But Kisame paid no heed to the girl. He did not stop walking until he was next to her ear so the other members could not hear him.
"I did not betray him."
"Really? Then why are you here with Pein and are about to kill Kate and Itachi? You know that Itachi has feelings for Kate, so why?"
"Some things are better left unsaid until the moment they are happening." With that, Kisame went back to his computer and began to type, leaving Max even more befuddled.
'Only a matter of time. Soon everything will be set and the people who need to die will." Kisame thought as he continued to type to the overseas allies that Pein had created with Kabuto. Why they had kept up with calling each other their 'other' names? He had no clue, but no that the end was almost here, it was time to put an end to their façade.
"Have you figured out Ryo's book?" Pein asked Kabuto.
"Yes."
"Good. Kate should arrive soon and then Itachi will come. It is the perfect spot to start a war, no?" Pein said as he stood outside of the warehouse with Kabuto.
'Good once Kate and Itachi get here, I can get rid of Kabuto.' Thought Pein.
"You have written everything down on scrolls?" Pein asked.
"Yes, they are hidden under my bed. But you will not need them, I can read Ryo's book without the notes I took." Kabuto said. Pein just nodded.
"Almost there Max, hang in there. Kami, I hope they don't kill you because you are going to annoy them to death!" I was almost there and I still didn't know what I was going to do. I felt bad lying to Itachi, but what would I have said? I was at a stoplight when Itachi called me.
"Hey, do you need something?" I asked. He didn't reply.
"Hello? Nyan are you…"
"Liar." Itachi said behind me. I screamed and looked in my back seat. 'When the hell had he gotten back there?'
"How did you…"
"I knew you were up to something, so I followed you outside and when you dropped your keys I made it to your car and snuck in. Now, what's up with Max?" Itachi asked as stayed in the back seat. I sighed.
"Pein. He took her to get to me. And I'm guessing that he was going to use me to get to you. I don't know why he would want to get us separately though." I started to drive as the light turned green. I looked at Itachi briefly and saw anger in his features.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because he said he would kill Max! I couldn't take that risk!"
"You chose to save one person instead of potentially saving more than just Max's life?"
"What is up with you and Tae? He said the same thing, but she is my friend! I'm sorry, but I can't lose another person!" I said dropping the conversation. I turned onto to road that lead to the abandoned warehouse and then I got nervous.
"Stay here. They don't know you are here. If anything happens or if you hear anything, then you can come." I said getting out of the car. I saw Pein and … Kabuto?
"My dear, it's lovely to see you again. Kate, meet Kabuto. Kabuto, this is Kate."
"It's too bad we have to meet under these circumstances." Kabuto said bringing out a gun. I tensed and stopped walking toward them. Pein instead walked toward me also taking out a gun.
"Now, let's go release your friend." Pein said pushing me forward. I glared, but had yet said anything. We walked inside the warehouse and up a flight of stairs to a large room. There was a table with multiple bombs lying on it and remotes next to them. There was also a computer with Kisame sitting down typing. There was a large couch that was old with a small table on it with floor plans to something and to my left was a room with the door shut. Sasori, Deidara, Kisame, and Max all looked at the door as we came in.
"Well, well, she actually came, un." Deidara said sitting next to Sasori who was looking at us too.
"Kate! What are you doing here! You weren't supposed to come!" Max yelled at me. I just looked at her.
"Hey, what friend would I be if I didn't let you live your dream of meeting Nyantaro?" I said smiling. Pein pushed me into the room and next to Max. He walked behind her and undid her ties. She stood up and rubbed her wrists.
"You are free to leave, but if you tell anyone about this, you will die. Painfully." Pein said walking toward me.
"Kisame, help her out." 'And dispose of her too.' Pein told Kisame and of course, he knew what Pein meant.
"Move." Kisame said. I watched as Max glared at him and then looked at me.
"Be careful."
"You too Max." Then she was gone. That was when I got thrown into a wall. 'What the fuck was that!'
"Now, let's see. You made me lose an organization, good members, and I have no chakra. I think that means that you should die."
"Hey, the whole chakra part was your fault. You didn't have to come to my dimension." I said standing up holding my head. It hurt, badly! Pein walked toward me with anger in his eyes.
"Pein. We have other matters to contend with." Sasori told him. Pein stopped walking toward me and looked over his shoulder at Kabuto.
"Get the book." 'What book?' Pein pushed me into the chair that Max was in and had Deidara watch me.
"Now, call Itachi." Pein said putting the gun in my face. I glared and took out my phone.
"Itachi, we have a problem…" Pein took my phone away from me.
"Kate? Are you…"
"Hello Itachi. How has your life been?"
"Pein." Itachi said with malice.
"Now, there is no reason for you to talk to me like that."
"Let Kate go."
"Now, why would I do that when I can use her to get to you? No, I think it will be more fun to see you come to her rescue. I think that will be very entertaining, don't you think?" Pein said with a smirk, I glared and tried to get up to punch him, but Deidara held me down, resulting in a glare that would impress Itachi.
"Fine, where are you?"
"The abandoned warehouse on Seventh Street, but you know that already don't you? Since you came with Kate." I felt like a huge bomb was just thrown at me. How did he find out? There was no way that he could possibly have known
"I bet you're wondering how I found out? Little Kate here wasn't too discreet in hiding her words that she said to you before she stepped out of the car." Pein finished. 'Damn.' I thought.
"I'll be right up."
"No, Kisame is escorting Max out, you will wait for him and then you will come up with him. If you do not follow these rules, Kate will die." Pein said as he hung up. Just then Kabuto came in the room with, no! 'That can't be! How?'
It's getting intense! I wonder what's going to happen! Well I already know and most of you know since this was up for a while, then taken down...soo, yeah. So this is the last chapter I am uploading today ^-^ You know, to keep the suspense up and stuff. Ummmmm ... yeah, so please R&R&F is you don't mind! Sayonara! For now!
