(Sorry for misspelling Deidara's name, was thinking it was spelled sort of like that but not sure)

Chapter: 09

Akari Zenmoto's Pov,

'Dancing in the spring where flower petals fluttered in the wind, only for the sky to grow dark with an ominous touch of what may come. I watched the sky turn dark and gradually more ominous, but never turned away from how everything was stirring up. The wind gradually growing in strength and blowing her light blue hair back behind her, whipping the light blue mid-back length hair behind like unfurling a colorful whip. The darkness turned to be overwhelming and engulfed the light and beautiful scenery before me, making it chilling then for something more so came to view for me, what seemed like eyes staring at her of all colors and dojutsues.'

I woke up after what felt like hours, but to being in a soft bed feeling my body heated up and shivering from the strange and disturbing nightmare. Looking about my surroundings, I saw Kabuto and the same individual that was watching me in the previous room, how he was partly black and other half white. I was still wondering, 'How is he that way? or made that way?' But, looked back towards Kabuto who seemed to be analyzing me.

"Akari, Orochimaru and the Akatsuki leader Pein will see you." Kabuto spoke nonchalantly, almost like he was reading a medical log book to a stranger. I only looked at the fellows in the room, feeling the urge to say 'Get out so I can get dressed' but, the black and white guy seemed to have realized and spoken in a weird tone.

"Do not worry about it, miss Akari... Just get dressed B**ch." The both sides of the strange black and white said, making heat rise to my cheeks rather quickly. When I got out of bed and looked around, I saw that I was dressed in a tight fitting, dress that revealed nearly every curve or non-curvy part of me. I blushed as I slid my hands over my flat chest, down to my hips which were not very curvy either.

"Where is the Akatsuki Leader and Orochimaru?" I ask quietly, only to hear what seemed like footsteps towards me then a heavy, warm breathe before the words 'Follow me' were spoken. Which I simply nodded and followed the retreating individual I saw headed towards the door, but the room I was in looked similar to Orochimaru's room for me, but only difference was there were no window available to see outside.

I followed the black and white individual, a part of me wanted to ask him questions and find out what he is, but I was also scared of him for how he appeared and what his occupation is, as a 'Ninja'. But, I was in able to really question or really think it over very long, before bumping into the fellow black and white individual before a door.

"oww..." I murmur, rubbing my head slightly but looked up at what obstacle stood before the guy. The door was plain and the only obvious designs on it was a name carved on it, 'Pein' and the idea that the door itself was some kind of wood material. I looked at it carefully, while the black and white man knocked the door and opened it slightly to say something, before opening it all the way for me to follow behind.

I saw Orochimaru there along with a fellow having the similar bright hair Naruto had, and metallic objects running down the center of his face who I figure is Pein after seeing the door's name carved in, and Kabuto calling him the leader of this other group. "Akari, your here... Zetsu, you may go." Said the leader figure, Pein, only for me to watch the strange plant-like being, called 'Zetsu' who quietly left.

'I found out one thing by just listening in on their conversation openly, maybe I can escape this soon...' I thought, but turned my gaze towards Pein who was talking to Orochimaru. I could only see that Orochimaru was not in a pleasant mood from the situation going at hand, but did not lose his temper towards the leader for the moment.

"Akari... You will stay here with this group, but I will join your group again." Orochimaru states simply with clenched hands at his sides, then walked away swiftly. I did not understand the problem going on for either group, but I felt scared to ask.

"I am Pein, but call me Leader. Akari Zenmoto, your not a ninja, so your uses will be utterly pointless, at this point..." Pein said simply, but walked around me carefully, "I will look into what you can do." Then pushed me out the door into Zetsu, who I guess was waiting for his next set of orders. "Zetsu, watch that girl and see to that she stays out of trouble." Pein states, then closes the doors quickly after.

Looking up at the man, Zetsu, who seemed to wear a similar attire to the other members of his group. I stepped away, and slowly walked down the hallway to a spacious room, which appeared to be a semi-large living room area, where most of the group is; Zetsu following Akari into the room, Itachi Uchiha reading, Kakuzu and Hidan arguing about something, also Deidre and Sasori arguing over art, while Tobi ran around.

I looked around and slowly walked to itachi, took his book and started reading it in a corner of the room, also feeling like there is a glare aimed towards me, but I was not paying much attention to the feeling because I either got lost in the story or fell into a nightmare-ish sleep that takes over my attention entirely.

'The temple of Zenmoto stood clear in the wintery cold, the snow laid down before it, and some of the snowflakes slowly drifting in the air around it like a beautiful dream like home. The whole view seemed like the temple was floating on water as clear as ice, but it did not last as that dream-like beauty and slowly turned into a temple lit up like a lantern in the center gradually outwards and turning to ash and decay, while the beings within were killed slowly and truly scary, if not painful.'

I looked around a bit dazed by the memory, but shrugged off for the better off dream-like image of the temple being in it's lovely state in the snow, instead of being lit up like a lantern. Looking around, I saw a guy with dark eyes and long blue hair like Sasuke Uchiha, but longer looking down at me and had a hitai ate head band of the leaf slashed over his forehead too.

"Who are you? I want my book back." The fellow akatsuki member said, only for me to look down at the book and see there are teardrops noticeably on the page that I had it on. I slowly gave back the book, not sure what to say as an excuse for the tear drops on the page that dissolved there. 'Sae-San... why were you there? You did not need to know who I was or what I was doing.' I thought to myself, but quickly rubbed my eyes with my hands before any tears become visible.

I looked around, only to see a person that seemed to be a female girl with blue locks and a flower in her hair, but the rest was like anyone else's attire being a black cloak with red clouds along the whole outfit. She did not seem to notice me, or care if I was there but looked bored about what was going on. I looked at the boys, being Tobi bugging deidara, while deidara argued with Sasori over art with determinedly.

"Okay, boys, we need to play something to mix things up. It can't be arguing or fighting!" The female akatsuki member said, who is known as Konan, but was easily ignored by louder arguments taking over the space. I waited, watching the situation, until the female akatsuki pulled me by the wrist and said aloud "We all are going to play a game, and anyone who disagrees will deal with me." she said threateningly, while Hidan seemed fine with it as long as there were plenty of girls, and Hidan did not mind as long as paid a decent amount, but the others were questioning on arguing or trying to fight for their freedom to not play.
