Keida open her eyes slowly, thinking she was hurt. When her eyes are fully open she notices that she is staring up at the starry sky, it was dark and she saw someone's back to her.

"I hope you can forgive me for my actions. I never thought you would be hurting like you are right now. I seen the pain you suffer, my gift of perfection to you was nothing but a burden. Please forgive. I hope you all the best in your training. It should be easier now that you have charka and people who care about you. Wake up little Keida. And see the world with your new self." The man said, he turned to give her a dazzling smile. Keida gasp, it was that man that she met outside her job. Father Time? Keida watched him smile and slowly fade away in a small wind. Keida felt sleepy and closed her eyes once again.


"Keida. Wake up. It's been 3 days." Konan said afraid. Keida hadn't even stir, she remained in the same location, her face is clear of redness and her fever has gone down

"K-Konan?" a shaken voice asked

"Keida!" Konan said, she looked downwards to the once sleeping girl. Konan was taken back, her eyes were a icy blue instead of the sky blue their were before, Keida eyes held something and Konan could feel it. Her charka was growing, unusually.

"What are you doing here Konan?" Keida ask, she then shot up with a panic look, "Oh crap I'm late for work!" Keida nearly screamed, she went for her clothes but Konan grabbed her wrist with confused eyes and a small grin.

"Honey you've been unconscious for about 3 days now." Konan said serious, "What happen?" She asked

"I've been out of for 3 days." Keida said slowly not believing Konan's words

"Keida. What happen?" Konan asked again when she stared into the girl's eyes. She stared back and Konan thought she saw a sliver of silver in her eyes, she heard Keida sigh.


"I gotta feeling that this was on purpose." Pain said to Konan, Konan had stayed with the girl for a full week to make sure she had recovered. He knew that the girl was hiding something but when she didn't even know how to handle the charka emitting through her body and just passed out and it took long for her to recover. He didn't know what to believe, the fact that Konan is mystified by this girl is strange as well. Konan does not cling to girls easily, she killed the last one because she annoyed her constantly but Keida had something that pulled other's in.

"What do you mean?" Konan asked

"This girl wasn't from our world." Pain said staring into Konan's shocked eyes


"I gotta feeling someone's talking about me." Keida said after she sneezed

"Feeling better Keida?" Dojou asked as he handed her Jasmine tea

"Yeah. I never thought having so much charka would hurt me." Keida said, she took a sip of her tea, Dojou sat across from her

"It's the strangest thing yes but nonetheless this is a gift. I can teach you much easier than just taijutsu. With ninjutsu and genjutsu will be a get asset to you on your travel." Dojou said giving her a rare smile. Dojou was like Sasori, only he had a bit more emotions and he wasn't a puppet.

"Will we have enough time to do this before the month ends?" Keida asked

"We could try. Your a fast learner. So maybe you have a chance to master the basics." Dojou said ruffling her hair

"Thanks for helping me Dojou." Keida said with a smile, Dojou keep his blush hidden. Keida had just given him one of the sweetest smiles he's ever receive, if anyone hurt her he will surely kill them for her.

"No problem." He said getting back to work.


"Ever get the feeling that something bad is going to happen?" Tobi asked, he looked around to the Akatsuki and they then saw Konan stiff

"What day is it?" Konan asked quickly

"April 30th." Sasori stated

"Why?" Itachi asked, Konan moved to the door quickly

"Keida's leaving today and I've been feeling anxious all day." Konan said as she sprinted out. If Konan knew anything thing is that if you never listen to your gut then you might lose someone important to you, she lost many people. She wasn't going to lose Keida.


"Damnit!" Keida muttered as she jumped onto a branch, she ran into rouge ninja's and just their luck they were all guys and had taken a quick liking to her. She so far had gotten rid of only one man, thanks to Dojou's training the man is currently trapped underground with his head popped out. Keida is now running for her life from the other 3 men following her. She took a deep breath and felt her left wrist move and then in her hand held the pocket watch.

"Your one fast bitch!" A man dark brown hair said smirking as he was catching up to her, she glupped and hurried off quicker but she still remained unsure of using her kekkei genkai. She clicked the button and notice the same black and white scene in front of her. Keida kept running unsure of how long the effect will last after half an hour of running none stop the color came back and she hid in a small cave she saw. She was glad to have a waterproof bag and she dived into the lake surrounding it she grabbed a kunai knife and held it close, her breathe shaking and her heart beating quickly. She hoped she would survive. No Deidara to catch her from another cliff.


"Your being irrational!" Sasori stated to Konan, she sprinted faster with a determined look on her face

"I know when something is wrong. Especially to someone dear to me. Just shut up." Konan said deadly, Sasori bit his tongue from saying anything he could regret. Kisame, Itachi and himself followed Konan when she ran out.

"I felt it too now that I think about it." Kisame muttered, Sasori shot him a look

"I did." Kisame replied

"Itachi use your Sharigan to find her. It won't be hard, she has a massive amount of charka now." Konan said, her back to the men, she was currently faster and the three kept their distances from her in case she snaps from anger.

"Hai." Itachi said, he used his eyes and saw a slight trail leading down and about another 3 following it. Konan had been right. The girl was being followed.

"We need to hurry." Konan said after looking at the Uchiha's face.


"Come on girly!" A man with an ugly scar yelled to Keida

"Just leave me alone!" She spat, she was weak. Despite her training she was weak, she was no expert at using charka or her kekkei genkai.

"Grab her." The man with blue circles on his cheeks demanded, the two went in for her and she took a deep breathe, she felt the world slowing in her mind and saw them coming at her like they were walking not charging. She grabbed a kunai and threw it at the man's ankle and then a rock at the other man's head. She went for another kunai but she felt her world speeding up, she threw the kunai at the man's thigh and ran off quickly hoping to avoid them for awhile. She felt the sweat down on her forehead and her hands, she felt her heart beating ever so quickly as well as having every muscle in her body cry out in pain.

"Can't get away that easy!" One of them yelled, Keida felt her eyes brim over with tears and tried to put charka into her feet to make her go faster. She didn't anticipate how much it would take her to speed off a branch without breaking it, she felt her falling off the branch, she got hit with a couple of branches and got slammed on her back by a huge branch, she fell down hurling to the ground at such speed.

"Bye~" She whispered as she closed her eyes waiting for the impact.


"Just made it." Kisame said holding an unconscious Keida, she was bleeding and had a couple of bruises

"W-Who are you?" A man yelled with blue circles on his face, Itachi went behind him and bent to his ear

"The Akatsuki." Itachi said, he saw the three men freeze

"And you just upset the Angel of the Village. Konan." Sasori said giving a deadly smirk, they looked towards the blue haired woman. The man with a scar started pleading for his life apologizing for his action and to spare his life. The others looked confused and chuckled at the woman.

"What damage can she do?" A man said with half his face bandaged

"More than you now." Konan said dangerously deadly. She glared at them, Kisame winced at her glare, he watched her create paper wings from her skin. They were going to die and he knew that.

"W-wait! Y-You're-" they said

"Die." She whispered as she sliced them, she slit one man throat and covered them all with sheets of paper but anyone who was ever trapped in those knew that they would die. Screams were heard for miles.


"Kisame?" Keida asked as she saw the blue man, she sat up from a bed, she looked around and noticed the room was white and her in a small white gown. She covered herself with a blanket feeling cold but winced because she was sore and her back was probably scratched up well.

"Are you okay?" Kisame asked walking towards her, he didn't know much medical jutsu but his healing was a bit decent. He sat next to her on the bed.

"Yeah just sore. What happen?" Keida asked holding her head, she felt a bandage covering it

"You got yourself in just a tussle." Kisame said, "You fell and lost consciousness. I caught you while Konan got rid of the others. Itachi kept look out while Sasori tried to heal you." Kisame said, Keida felt her face flush a bit. Kisame lifted his hand over her forehead and leaned in. "Are you catching a fever?" He asked

"No." Keida said, she felt embarrassed, not by being saved but why would they? She barely knows them. She understood Konan but even she didn't realize how much of an impact she had on her. Keida was unsure on how she felt, she was grateful and happy to be alive but what would happen to her now?

"Keida!" Konan yelled happily, she grabbed Keida and held her, Keida felt her tears she'd been holding back slowly fall from her face.

"K-Konan!" She sobbed out, Konan rubbed her back softly knowing it was sore and she comfort her. She smiled and held her close, she felt Keida's tears wet her cloak. Kisame watched this happy girl cry, he felt his heart tighten, if Konan hadn't have killed them first he would have. And he would have made it damn slow and painful. Kisame thought it would be best to leave them be, he left the room and walked into the living room. He saw everyone there, even Pain.

"How is Keida-chan?" Tobi asked quietly, that was the first

"Fine. A bit shaken up but she'll be on bed rest for a while. She's pretty injured." Kisame explained

"Can we see her, un?" Deidara asked wanting to check in on the blue eyed girl he last remembered

"Right now no. She's with Konan, so maybe in an hour or so." Kisame said

"What are we going to do with the girl Leader-sama?" Kakuzu asked, everyone was silent for his response. Pain sighed knowing what he had to do but he still didn't know.

"She will be our newest member." Pain said, everyone's eyes widen

"What but she's-" Itachi started

"What I say is final." Pain said as he left the room. Konan had gotten to him but he also knew that this girl was special.


"What?" Keida said staring at Pain

"You will be the newest member. You will be trained and you will also be the cook for us so make no mistake we will be keeping you under wraps." Pain said

"T-Thank you. I, um, don't know what to say." Keida said slowly, Pain rose his brow at this and was going to ask before the door slammed open

"Keida!(un)" Deidara and Tobi announced, they ran to her. Tobi hugged her but she nearly screamed at her pained back, Deidara said her sharp intake of breathe and pulled Tobi off her and punched his head calling him an idiot. Keida smiled but stared at the scene, she could feel the the others were outside. Their pride wouldn't let them come in. Keida grinned.

"I got a feeling that my life is going to change forever." Keida whispered
