P.S. This chapter has a bit more gore than usual. A possible killing of a character. You know. Well Have fun!

The road seemed to stretch in front of Amai endlessly. It resembled a snake in the way it curved and twisted in front of her, the trees above her swayed gently in the breeze. The air was light and balmy, the sun warming the earth pleasantly. It was hard to believe such crimes of humanity could ever be made on a planet like this. Amai, in her times of ageless knowledge, knew that humans were volatile creatures bent on destruction. Maybe the wisdom came from the fact that she wasn't entirely human, or maybe not at all. The few humans left that hoped for peace were few and far in between. The few with genuine kindness, were harder to find than those that were made of evil. Too many wars had been waged between them, nations tearing each other apart.

Humans used one another, hurt one another, hurt themselves... All to be on top, to be in control of something that they could never truly control. In the history of Great Shinobi Wars, there had been three. The total amount of smaller wars was unknown. They were all due to insidious people. Amai had known this all her life. She sought out her own peace and acceptance, yet the bigger part of life was in front of her. Nations sought their own peace and acceptance, thousands of people apart of this cause. Amai felt slightly hypocritical at that moment, thinking of peace and such, while on her way to rip someone's throat out.

She was traveling to the heart of the Land of Sound. To the underground base of a man named Orochimaru. From what Amai had gathered from Pein, Orochimaru was a disease to the organization. She was to infiltrate his lair, and kill everyone inside. She was nervous about what she'd find... And to her task. She struggled to push the fact she'd be killing people down. The monster purred inside her, cooing to her softly.

Oh this will be wonderful.

Absolutely amazing.

Amai dear don't you agree?

We'll show them our power... I'm so hungry. Famished really. You haven't fed me since I had a nibble of the rose. You really should take better care of me.

Your hunger isn't my problem. You leech off of me. Quit acting like you're some damned pet. Amai told it firmly.

She was going to go insane being alone with the beast like that. She wished she'd had some sort of companion. She sighed deeply, feeling even more lonely than before. Thinking Itachi only stirred sorrow in her chest. It also made her body flush with warmth. She wished there was another black and red cloak walking next to her... The bushes rustled in front of her, she stopped and stood in a stance, ready to fight. Suddenly two pale hands reached out and pushed the leaves apart. Amai's heart beat hard. The person stepped out of the bushes with a flourish... As Amai froze him in a block of ice.

"Hidan!" She squeaked and clapped her hands over her mouth.

"Well that was a bit chilly for my taste. Why the hell did you freeze me?" Hidan asked her once she'd thawed him.

"I'm sorry, really, really, sorry Senpai. It was a reflex." She sat on her knees bowing quickly.

Hidan studied her for a moment. She was extremely pretty, and gracious, quick on the draw. He could almost see what made Itachi love her.

"Umm... Senpai? Why were you stalking through the bushes?"

Hidan started,

"I wasn't stalking!-" He closed his eyes and breathed in,

"Look I'm here to help you."

"Did Pein-Sama send you?" She looked doubtful.

"No. I'm not even supposed to be here, I was sent on a mission a week and a half ago, I finished it within a week. I stopped by the cottage over the weekend to talk to Itachi. He wanted me to come with you and make sure you would be alright."

She tilted her head, blinked at him,

"Well alright."

Hidan stood and dusted off his cloak, re positioning the scythe on his back.

"We'd better get a move on, we need to discuss details."

She nodded and jumped up, joining his side they set off. She walked in stride with him and his quick pace. This he was grateful for, as she was keeping in stride with the conversation as well.

"Okay so first of all I want to tell you a little about what you're walking into. Orochimaru's lair."

"Yes, I don't know much about him except that he isn't good for the organization."

Hidan scoffed,

"That's an understatement. The snakey little bastard likes to try and steal our members. Let's see he was an orphan, blah blah, taken in by a guy who said he was a prodigy, blah fucking blah, saw white snake by his parent's grave, blah blah. Long story short he's a body stealer, he has many forms. He used to be part of the Akatsuki, until Itachi joined and he tried to steal his body, for the Sharingan of course. He lost a part of his body and ran off making a fake village, procuring minions and such. He's ruined a lot of stuff for us so the bastard has to die."

"He tried to steal Itachi's body? Intense."

They walked in silence for a while more. Hidan glanced over at her again. He had never been around such a frail girl, and her not to be afraid of him. Of course she was powerful, but not powerful enough to kill and immortal. Unless she buried him beneath the earth. He could tell she was afraid.

"I'm not going in with you." He said suddenly.

"Why not?"

"I have a specific killing style, if Pein sends Zetsu to eat the bodies- what? Don't look at me that way. Anyway if he sends him, they'll know I helped."

"How do you kill?" She asked softly.

"You don't wanna know. The other thing... You need to do this on your own. It's the only way to get used to killing."

"I've killed before..." She murmured.

He narrowed his eyes at her. So she did have some demons.

"When?" He asked lightly. Though Hidan was a dangerous murderer, he knew when to be nice.

"I killed my mother when I was young. Not on purpose... I got mad and just- She was touching me."

"I see. I won't press it any further."

"Thank you." She whispered.

"We're almost there. The only thing I'm helping you do is get in, and I'll be in your ear the entire time. Telling you where to go, and all you have to do is call if your in danger and I'll be there."

He reached into his pack and produced a microphone for her. She fumbled with it for a moment then positioned it and straightened her back. Her skin was unusually pale. Hidan knew deep down she had killed more than her mother, there was no doubt.

Alright, Amai can you hear me? Hidan's voice was in Amai's ear.

Yes, tell me what to do.

Good. Go through the entrance, quietly. They may not detect you yet... The second you enter someone has to be alerted so stay on guard. And remember to act like a girl that just got lost.

Copy.

The building she was entering was similar to a shrine. It's high concrete walls began to envelop her as she followed the path. The doors were closed. Immediately she felt the presence was heavy, almost choking her. The large clapping of thunder behind her gave her a small hope. Maybe they would be generous and off guard, maybe even take her farther into the lair. She'd left her cloak with Hidan. The monster was bubbly with excitement. At the moment she put her hand on the large door, she made a decision.

The place she entered resembled her own hideout slightly. Something was extremely unsettling. It wasn't that it was dark, the Akatsuki Base was dark... But the dark here seemed to be unnatural, intentional. As if someone wanted her to see it this way. She walked slowly, swallowing loudly to make sure someone heard her.

"My, my I see we have a guest." An amused voice spoke from the darkness.

The sound of something striking and suddenly the hall she was in filled with a dim light. A man stood before her. He was not much taller than she was, and had longish silver hair tied back. A pair of glasses sat on his nose.

"What is a pretty little lady like yourself doing a strange building like this?"

"It's going to rain soon... and- I got lost." She said and dipped her head.

"Well I'm certain we can accommodate you until then." He said kindly. His dark eyes were staring her down.

Crossing the room he grabbed her wrist and began to lead her to a corridor.

Now! She yelled at the beast. Cutting off two of her chakras, laughter erupted from her mouth.

The man looked down at her questioningly. He screamed and tried to release his grip, but she turned and grabbed him.

"You're not getting away." The voice that came from her mouth wasn't hers.

I have visual. Hidan told the other microphone he had with him, this was where Pein was listening. He was waiting at his desk back at the hideout in secrecy from Obito. Hidan knew he was hoping that his Angel wouldn't need help, that Pein was right about her.

Lovely. I want news as soon as she is finished. Then you are to head home and separate early.

Yes Master Pein.

Hidan looked back to the scene in front of him. He was using a Jutsu to spy. Kabuto had been the first to greet the girl, and Hidan now saw he was dragging her down in the corridor, underground. Things changed quickly. Amai's demeanor shifted from defensive to offensive. She threw her head back and laughed wildly. Kabuto glanced down at her, his eyes widening. Frantically he tried pulling away, but Amai flipped her place so that she was hugging him around the waist tightly.

"You aren't getting away." She said in a voice that did not belong to her.

"Here we go..." Hidan whispered.

Kabuto was thrashing around, his mouth wide. But no screams came, only a choking sound. His body began to grow limp. Right before Hidan's eyes Kabuto withered and aged. She threw him aside and smiled devilishly. The sound of pounding feet echoed around the halls growing toward her. To his surprise, giant, red tipped claws grew from her fingers. She took off running in the direction of the footsteps.

The way she ran made her look nothing short of a savage. Her long curled hair had become ruffled, and the claws that adorned her hand scraped the ground only slightly when she ran. The first lead of attackers came into view, they were all wearing the same robes. Amai let out a scream and leaped in the air hitting one, and pinning him on the ground. Slitting his throat, she jumped to her feet and grabbed another one by his head, and smashed it into the wall. The two others that were with them were mid-jutsu when Amai leaped on both at the same time and ripped the flesh from their throats out. She shook the blood on her claws off, and it splattered against the wall. Stopping, Hidan watched her sniff the air with satisfaction. If her were anyone else he would have been horrified but he was vastly impressed.

She ran again, stopping in every doorway to check for someone inside. To the monster's dismay, there weren't many people around. That wasn't uncommon, for this was the main base of Orochimaru. Most of his minions lived in the village nearby. It was one he created so that he may house his followers. There were few guards in his lair, and most of those contained within were experiments.

Amai ran down the hallway, deeper into the hideout. He knew she was there even before she swung into his room. He could smell the carnage down the hall, and he'd heard the commotion of the guards. Orochimaru would be sleeping at this time, so he had no knowledge of her presence. But Kabuto had and he'd paid with his life.

The girl entered his room. Sasuke had been prepared for her, but he froze when she came into view. She was a short girl, with extremely pale skin, yellow eyes, and long lilac colored curls. She was wonderfully beautiful. He had been surrounded and chased by many girls his entire life, but he'd never had one make him stop and stare. He barely noticed the long black and red claws that rested by her side. Not quite relaxing, not quite fight-ready.

The monster had been jolted back into Amai when, she'd ran into the room that contained the tall boy. The moment she looked at him, the monster recoiled inside of her and she stopped. The only thing she could do was stare, and if he'd been mobile he could have easily killed her. But neither moved. Amai studied him in the dim light. He was a few inches taller than she was, the outfit he wore exposing his bare chest. Obsidian eyes stared her back, black spiked hair hung in his eyes.

Uchiha...

"Who the hell are you?!" She screamed at him.

He looked puzzled,

"Who are you?" His voice was deep and yet surprisingly calm.

"I asked first!" She hissed.

He looked at her through narrow eyes,

"Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha." He said.

"I-Itachi..." She whispered.

"Did you say my brother's name? So you know him?"

"Itachi... Is your brother?"

Sasuke's eyes slanted her way again, the way Itachi's did. There was no doubt left that this was Itachi's brother.

"Now you answer my question. Who are you?" Sasuke demanded.

Amai looked at him and let out a low sound, barely audible.

"Amai Murasaki-" She craned her neck and pointed at the headband tied around her neck,

"An S-Rank missing nin."

"So that's how you know my brother..."

They stood staring at each other for what seemed like an eternity.

"How important are you to my brother?" He asked suddenly.

Amai narrowed her eyes at him, why would he care? He slowly began to cross the room, to meet her. She backed away, but kept her eyes locked on his.

"You're in the Akatsuki aren't you? Along with my brother. I'll admit it, I'm surprised you're that pretty." His voice was dripping with something sinister.

"What are you talking about?" She asked, her heart was beating hard. She was trying to call the beast forward but was having no response. It was as if she'd been locked behind some sort of door. She hit a wall, he was upon her then. He was gazing at her seductively. This was where she realized he was nothing like his brother, he was evil, and selfish. She felt the tips of his fingers were brushing her skin gently, curling up her jaw to her cheek. Leaning in he whispered,

"He loves you. So very much doesn't he?"

She stood frozen... Wondering which way this situation would go.

"I would absolutely hate it if I didn't introduce myself to you properly before letting you go back to my brother. What kind of host would I be?" He laughed lightly in her ear.

His hand trailed up her neck to the other ear. Her eyes widened. Mouth opening to scream for Hidan, when he ripped everything away from her body and threw it across the room. The words died in her mouth. The monster banged on the invisible door within her, angry. Sasuke's hand found her neck and he grabbed hold of it tightly.

"Such power within you... If I hadn't sealed it off the moment you walked in the room I probably wouldn't stand a chance."

Amai was choking. Sasuke picked her up by her throat and threw her. She flew across the room and hit the other wall, hard. She knew what he was talking about then, there was no chakra whatsoever flowing inside of her body. Amai Murasaki was helpless. To make things worse, Hidan couldn't help her.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to kill you... Yet. Not today little one. I'm just going to give my brother a message through you."

Tears flowed down her cheeks. He placed his hands on her wrists and threw her on the bed. She hit and tried crawling to the other side of the bed, to escape. He yanked her back down by her ankles. He was staring down at her then, the same red gaze Itachi had. She became hysterical, breathing quickly.

"Hidan!" She screamed.

Sasuke's hands were creeping all around her body.

"No! Hidan! Hidan! Help me!"

"Hidan?" He stopped and looked at her puzzled.

Amai was trembling and hated herself all the more for it. As she had grown older she lost what made her weak. Vulnerability. That was because of the power running through her veins. The two kinds of power in her body. One that was evil and had been sealed in her at birth. The other was the divine power, the good power, which was apart of Amai as a whole. The good power was much stronger, she could feel it in her blood. And she could now as she stared at Itachi's brother. Letting hatred course through her body, she could sense both of her powers rising up inside of her.

Sasuke looked at her strangely, and began to back away. Amai knew why. The glowing red chakra on her hands. She rose off the bed and approached him, the chakra was a deeper red now. Like blood. It was the same chakra Deidara had seen, before she'd snapped his ribs. Sasuke ready to defend himself, but Amai moved first. She drew her arm back as if she were going to hit him. Instead she went to his chest and felt the familiar sensation of entering it. Her hand clasped tightly on his heart. She smiled at him unkindly,

"You idiot Sasuke. You don't mess with Itachi's soulmate." She pulled back, his heart in her hand.

Throwing it to the ground she watched him fall. The blood collecting around his body. She shook her hand, spattering his face with blood.

"My my. Look at all the carnage you've caused." A snake-like voice chimed behind her.

Slowly she turned around.

Pein-Sama? Hidan spoke quietly, hidden among the trees.

Yes?

You've got yourself one hell of an assassin here.

Good.

I would however teach her how not to make such a mess. And to not slash throats because that causes blood to spray.

Pein's laughter was light,

That is no trouble. Mainly I was hoping she'd take down a lot of people at once. We'll get to the rest later. Did any interesting people get killed?

Hidan thought for a moment as to if he should say something...

Sasuke Uchiha is dead.
