Akatsuki's Miko


Chapter seven


Hello again, and welcome to chapter seven, stuff will happen, things will be revealed, I… will just get on with it.

In this Chapter: Kagome meets more of the Akatsuki, they set off to find the Gobi no Inu.

I do not own Naruto, I am hoping that after all these disclaimers you have gotten the picture.


Kagome reached the top of the staircase and stopped, there was a temple-like building, built in the traditional Japanese style, and she couldn't see Deidara anywhere. She turned back to look for Itachi and she saw him come up the stairs behind her.

"Deidara is packing for the mission, I'll help you find Konan, she should have some clothes that will fit you." He said, walking past her, Kagome stayed where she was and he stopped and turned back to her, "Come on." He said, motioning for her to follow.

Kagome followed the ninja into the complex, making sure to stay right behind him and not get lost in the strange new place. Eventually she was led to a small wing of the complex and was left there with Konan, a nice blue-haired woman with a passion for origami, the folded paper artworks were all over the place.

"I think I have some clothes that are about your size and probably some sandals too…" she looked at Kagome thoughtfully and the Miko noticed that she had a piercing right under he lips, then the blue haired woman turned around and left the room, "stay right there." She said.

Konan came back a few minutes later with some dark sandals and a bundle of other clothes. "Here these should fit."

So Kagome changed clothes from her Miko's uniform to a pair of dark pants with her white gi and some dark sandals. Konan handed her what appeared to be the Akatsuki's signature cloak, all of the members she had met so far were wearing it, and she put it on. The cloak was very warm and she was happy to finally be free of the constant shivers that had plagued her because of the cold air.

Konan waited for her to put the rest of the dark clothing in her pack, sacrificing her Miko's uniforms for the warmer and more useful clothing, before returning her to Itachi and Deidara.

"Come on, we're leaving, un."

And so the trio began the trek back down the staircase, Itachi looking apathetic, Deidara looking excited to finally be off and Kagome thanking Kami that Konan had given her better sandals that the ones she had been wearing.


Konan stood in the courtyard watching as the three left, behind her Pein stepped out of the shadows.

"So," he began, "What do you think of her?"

Konan turned to the orange haired man,

"I think she'll do fine, I can tell she is quite taken with us, I can also tell that there are wounds on her heart."

Pein's interest was piqued, "How so?"

"Because there are scars on her body that could only have been delivered it the one who gave them had been embracing her when he attacked."

Pein smiled, "A wounded heart will make her easier for us to use, her heart will be blinded to the truth out of a will not to feel hurt again, and by that time it will be too late for her to stop us, if she decides to stop us. The sending of those two with her should expedite the mission."

Konan nodded, and then she smirked at Pein, "Did you really send both of them to make things go faster or did you send Deidara to capture her heart and Itachi to make sure he didn't overstep himself?"

"Both." Pein answered truthfully.
