AUTHOR'S NOTE: I had a few technical issues with my laptop, but after two hours of being on the phone with tech support and three hours of resetting my laptop, it's good . Also, I'm thinking of writing another story that'll be updated like this one. And please, please, please do my poll or review my story for some ideas or encouragement… I do not own any of Masashi Kishimoto's characters, just my OC and any other characters I will create through this story. So, please enjoy.
CHAPTER 6
(PEIN POV)
The young woman and her brother have been at the Akatsuki base for two weeks now. They've been confined to their room; except for the trip through the village Konan accompanied them on.
I was doing some paperwork for the organization, and planning our meeting for today when 'Tobi' appeared.
"Yes, Madara?", I asked without looking up.
"It is time", came his deep reply.
"For..?", I questioned.
"For the girl to join our meeting for today", came his swift reply.
I furrowed my brows, "Are you sure she's ready?".
"She will be whether she wants to or not", came his answer before he teleported from my office.
With a sigh, I summoned Konan.
"Yes, Nagato?".
"Bring the girl to the meeting after everyone else is present".
"Are you sure?", she questioned.
"It wasn't my demand, Konan".
(KONAN POV)
All of the other members were at the meeting when Pein gave me a look to go get Haley. I honestly didn't want her to have to be amongst some of the rougher characters of the Akatsuki. She was too kind. Eventually, I made it to the hallway her and Nathan's room was located.
With a sigh, I knocked on the door.
"Konan?", came her reply.
I entered slowly. She smiled at me, I didn't smile back.
She looked at me with the silent question of 'what is it?'.
"You've been requested to be present at today's meeting", I bluntly told her.
She took a deep breath, and stood up from the bed.
"Nathan, I want you to be good while I'm gone for a little bit", she directed to her brother.
He didn't take too well to that.
He jumped off the bed and latched himself to her.
"I don't want you to go, sissy. Those other people are scary", his words were muffled into Haley's shoulder.
She sat him onto the bed, and kissed his forehead.
"Everything is going to be okay, and if it's not okay…".
"It's not the end", he finished.
With a smile and another kiss, she followed me out of the room and through the halls.
(HALEY POV)
I was nervous.
Scratch that.
I was terrified.
I know I had been around Konan, but she was different.
She was human.
I tried to relax myself so I didn't look at petrified as I felt.
By the time Konan had stopped in front of two heavy set doors, I was calm.
When she opened the door, my calmness started to dissipate when all eyes were on me.
The room held a large table that was big enough to fit ten. The man who called himself a 'god' sat at the head of the table. On the left going down from him was a tan man with a mask and Christmas-colored eyes, a silver-haired man with pink eyes, a red-head, and a guy with super long blond hair. On the right going down was an empty seat (which I thought to be Konan's), a man wearing an orange mask, a giant with blue skin who was there when I was abducted, as was the man next to him…Itachi.
"Thank you Konan", Pein directed to my blue-haired friend.
She moved from my side and made her way to the empty seat by him. His eyes went to me, "Please, sit".
The only other empty seat was beside the raven-haired man. I calmly walked to the chair and sat.
"Now that we're all here, let's begin", came Pein's commanding voice.
"We've all noticed our new guests. They will be staying here permanently. She is joining".
"What?", slipped through my lips.
All eyes were back on me. I stood up from my seat, "Look, I'm sorry, but you've got the wrong person from the WRONG DIMENSION. I am not interested in being or exposing my brother to some weird cult. So if you'll excuse me…I am leaving", I ranted.
When I turned towards the door, a venus flytrap came up from the floor.
I don't know what happened, but he flew to and hit the ceiling. Hard.
Collective gasps were heard from the room, plus cursing from one particular person.
I looked at the ground, a slab of earth wasn't flat on the ground like it was supposed to be. So, I did the only logical thing I could think of.
I ran.
