Taylor's POV
'Damn fuckin' Uchiha's!'
If you woke up with a head splitting migraine, courtesy of the one and only Itachi Uchiha, you'd be thinking this too.
"Hmm. Seems you finally decided to wake up, girl."
I whipped my head around and met eye to eye with no other than Akasuna no Sasori.
"AHHH!" I screamed fumbling away from the puppet and right onto the cold stone floor. The room was pretty small and it seemed like everything was made of rock besides the bed, and the lamp and table beside it.
"It's the ghost of Pinocchio!"
Sasori simply arched an eyebrow and leaned over the bed to look at me.
"It's seems the brat wasn't lying." He said sounding slightly amused. "You really do seem to know everything."
I hopped off the floor and as quick as possible flung the door to the room open, dashing down the hall away from him.
"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME YOU DERANGED PUPPET!"
Normal POV
Sasori watched as the girl fled from the room, an amused smirk plastered on his face.
'This girl is going to be very troublesome,'He thought, remembering what had happened when she first arrived.
…
"Tobi's back everyone!" Tobi screamed, his voice echoing throughout the base.
'Hmm, seems both the brat's are back,' Sasori thought to himself as he stood up to go and greet the two.
He walked out into the hall, surprised when he found Itachi was exiting his room as well. They both acknowledged each other's presence with a nod and continued down the corridor silently.
"AHHH! THE FUCK!" They both heard Hidan cry. That pushed them to walk at a quicker pace.
'What the…,' Sasori thought as he entered the main area, only to find Hidan clutching his bloody nose and a girl laughing at his misfourtion. The girl looked to be in her mid teens and had brown eyes and blonde hair.
"What's going on in here?" He found himself questioning aloud. How could such petite girl with barley any chakra could kick an S-class criminal in the face is what he really wanted to know.
The teen immediately stopped laughing as she saw them but didn't quite seem scared.
Itachi, seeing this girl as a potential threat, which she was, used his Sharingan to knock her out just as Tobi and Deidara entered the room.
"Taylor-chan!" Tobi called just as the girl pasted out, hitting the cave floor with a thump.
"What happened to you?" Sasori questioned seeing his partner limp into the room.
"Nothing," Deidara grunted in reply, but Sasori could tell by the way he was glaring at the girl that something had definitely happened.
"Tobi…who is this?" Itachi asked, Sharingan still spinning widely. He wasn't taking any chances.
"Taylor-chan," the masked man answered, cradling the girl in his arms.
Before any of them could ask another question Tobi was gone, the girl disappearing with him.
"I'm going to see Pein-sama, un." Deidara said turning back towards the hall. "Is he in?"
"Yes," the red head replied. Deidara grunted a thanks and left.
They would all find out why she was here in a meeting later on.

Taylor POV
After running for about 3 minutes I ended up back where I first passed out. The room looked exactly the same as I remembered it but this time it held two people, not one.
"HEY!" I screamed, startling them. However as soon as I did 5 wires shot out and wrapped around my limb's, hoisting me into the air.
"D-damn," I laughed, struggling for air. Oh, did I mention that the fifth wire was strangling me? WELL IT WAS.
"W-we meet a-again, Hidan," I choked, looking down at the smirking Jashinist. He was eyeing me with a sadistic sneer, looking very pleased with the situation.
"Bitch," he spat in acknowledgement.
I turned to the second person with him. "Kakuzu."
The ropes around me got tighter and blotches of darkness started to fill my vision.
"Kakuzu put her down," said a calm and stern female voice. Kakuzu grunted but obliged, retracting his wires and letting me drop onto the floor.
As soon as I got my breath back-
"YOU DAMN OLD MAN!" I shouted, pointing an accusing finger at Kakuzu. "HOW DARE YOU TRY TO STRANGLE ME WITH YOUR RAPE TENTICALS!"
Hidan broke down laughing at that, even if I was the one who had said it, and Kakuzu narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"I dare you to say that again," he threatened. I opened my mouth to make my smart ass reply, but another voice cut in.
"Taylor-san," Konan questioned helping me up. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, thanks," I replied, rubbing my neck sheepishly. She was so polite compared to the others.
"TAYLOR-CHAN!" A blur of orange ran up and tackled me before I even had a chance to move. Blinking in surprise I stared down at the man who had me pinning back to the floor.
"T-Tobi," I said, startled from the sudden impact.
"Tobi was so worried!" he shouted into my ear. "Taylor-chan has been sleeping for four days!"
"WHAT!" I screamed, loud enough to make even Naruto deaf.
'Itachi Uchiha, PREPARE TO DIE!'
"Tobi, get off her," Konan said while gently prying Tobi off of me.
"Gomen, Konan-san," he apologized. He stood and bowed to her deeply. "Tobi was just excited to see Taylor-chan."
Once again Konan offered me a hand. I took it with a smile and she helped me back up.
"Pein-sama wishes to see you," she explained, then turned to the other occupant's of the room. "All of you."
Neither Hidan nor Kakuzu looked pleased at this, but willingly followed Konan. I trailed behind all of them, knowing that trying to run probably wasn't a good idea at the moment…or ever.
…
The five of us stopped in front of a large door, which surprisingly enough, opened on its own. Honestly, stop making entrances so fricking huge that you can't even open them without using some jutsu.
"Come on," Konan said nudging me inside the large room. In the center of the space was a long table, with various members of the Akatsuki placed on either side. The room was cold and it gave me chills. This was definitely the creepiest meeting place I had ever been in.
At the farthest end of the table I could see a figure shrouded by shadows. I figured that it was Pein. He was always creepin' in dark places.
On his left side was Itachi. The Sharingan wielder had his arms crossed and his face showed as much emotion as a rock, which was none. Beside Itachi was Kisame. The sharks beady eyes turned to us as soon as we entered the room and his sharp teeth could be seen as his mouth stretched into a wide grin. On the other side of Kisame was none other than the blonde that had decided to bring her here as a captive. His showing blue eye held little amusement; he actually seemed quite bored with the entire thing. I'm pretty sure that Deidara was just wishing for my death so that this whole thing could be over with. Sasori sat next to his partner, looking to be just as excited as Itachi about their current situation.
Konan flanked Pein's other side. Her bright orange eyes still lingered on me as I stood opposite to the leader from across the long table. To the females left was an empty seat but to the left of the empty seat was Tobi. The energetic member bounced in his chair happily, humming a tune to himself. On Tobi's other side was Kakuzu. The money loving miser's attention was on the stack of cash in his hands as he counted it over and over without another care in the world. Hidan occupied the last seat on the right side of the table. The Jashinist had his head leaned into his palm, which was supported by his arm that was set on the table. He looked incredible bored and was mumbling something about how he'd much rather be sacrificing heathens to Jashin.
I blinked when I only counted 9 Akatsuki in total gathered around the table.
"Where's Zetsu?" I questioned, gaining the attention of all the present members. In an instant, Zetsu materialized from the ground and took his seat between Konan and Tobi.
"Ah, there he is."
Another wave of chills made there way up my spine as a thick tension filled the room. I noticed that at this point all the Akatsuki had stopped what they were previously doing. Shit was getting serious.
"Taylor-san," Pein's cold voice rang out. "It has come to my attention that you possess valuable information concerning this organization. Is that correct?"
I nodded despite the feeling of fear in my gut. Pein Rinnegan eyes felt as if they were boring into my soul. I didn't dare do anything stupid.
"Are you the only person who possesses this kind of information?"
"No."
He raised an eyebrow and I rambled on without thinking.
"My friend's Lauren and Tess know just as much or maybe even more…shit," I cursed, realizing I wasn't supposed to say that.
"Oh," he questioned. His eyebrow raised a millimeter. "And where are these friend's of yours?"
I laughed, almost sourly. "How the hell would I know?"
"What do you mean?" he barked. If it wasn't for deathly aurora that surrounded him I would've rolled my eyes.
"I mean I don't know," I replied, "I can't even remember how I got here."
A flash of confusion shot into the other 9 members eyes but they chose not to say anything.
Pein quietly sighed and leaned back in his chair. He crossed his arms and locked his ringed purple eyes back on mine
"It's decided. Before we begin the interrogation-"
I felt my heart skip a beat. Interrogation?
"-we shall find the other two first."
My heart nearly pounded through my chest. My two best friends were now in trouble because of my big mouth!
'God fucking dammit!'
"All missions are postponed until further notice. First priority is to capture and retrieve these two girls. Understood?"
"Hai!"
"Good," Pein nodded. His eyes circled around the table. "Tobi and Zetsu, head to Earth. Hidan and Kakuzu, head to Lightning. Itachi and Kisame, head to Wind. And Sasori and Deidara, you two will travel to Fire. If any of you locate either 'Lauren' or 'Tess' notify the others immediately. You all are to depart within the hour. The meeting is adjourned."
The Akatsuki member's all vanished from the room, leaving me standing there, stunned. My knees felt weak and I finally felt as if I could breathe again. I felt as if I wanted to smack my head into a wall…
'Lauren and Tess… just please be safe…'
