Disclaimer I own nothing, but Akatenchii, Riley Killer owns Okami.

Thanks again to Riley Killer for fixing my fuck ups and helping me out in general.

Ch 10

Deidara looked down as the rock came into view; he made his art land next to it. He held Akatenchii as he jumped off of the bird.

Akatenchii looked at the sky as she was carried. This is getting very annoying. Her inner voice was not pleased that she was being carried again. As much as I may not like it I do not have a choice in the matter right now so stop whining.

She came back to reality when she heard an explosion and felt herself being carried again.

Deidara entered the head quarters holding the woman to him, he heard the entrance close behind him.

"Deidara-san, take her to leader and see what he wants done with her." A voice caught Akatenchii's attention; she turned her head towards the direction of the sound, scrolling her eyes up the length of the tall figure. It's a Giant. Her inner voice snickered.

"Where is he at Kisame?" Deidara asked.

"His office." Kisame stated looking down at the woman in Deidara's arms, before turning and leaving.

Deidara started walking down a hall of the cave. "I should advise you not to stare or speak out of turn with leader." He stated as he came to a door.

Akatenchii looked at the door. "Come in Deidara." Was all she heard before Deidara opened the door and walked in.

All of the men who aided in her capture were in the room along with her belongings and a woman with blue hair.

"Usuba Akatenchii." A voice drew her attention upwards, she found herself looking at a man who was just a little taller than her, he had multiple piercings on his face, and startling orange eyes. Rinngan eyes. Her inner voice had fascination to it,she found herself unable to break eye contact.

"What are you staring at?" The cold voice made her blink. "Nothing." She muttered still looking him in the eyes.

"Well if it is nothing then stop staring." He looked at Deidara. "Deidara you can put her down she isn't going anywhere." His voice was icy cold.

"Yes leader." Deidara muttered letting Akatenchii's feet touch the ground before he released her.

"So you are Akatenchii." Leader muttered walking up to her slowly. "From what I have been told you were quite the hand full."

Akatenchii blinked. Hand full oh boy you have no idea just what we are. Her inner voice chuckled.

"From what I have heard you have never failed a mission till now… is that true?" His eyes narrowed on her.

"I suppose you could say that." She tilted her head to where her hair slide covering half of her face.

"You have a body count over 500 and in one night you took out a unit of 60 shinobi from Konoha." He brushed the hair out of her eyes. "You have even assassinated the leaders from the former Whirlpool country, Tea country, and the Wave country."

"Yes I assassinated them, what is your point?" Akatenchii asked watching anger flash in his eyes.

Okami watched this interrogation from the hall, her pony tail swishing silently as she shook her head leaning against a rock, her eyes narrowing for a moment as she watched behind her mask, then felt the rock shake, she stilled, staring as it began to fall away, Fuck.

Fool, move away now! Her feet moved silently against the ground as she darted out of the hall way into a room then into another hallway. Eyes narrowed hearing the rock crash.

"Pein." The blue haired woman was looking at the overly pierced man in front of Akatenchii as her attention was out the door.

"Go check it out Konan." Pein muttered watching as Konan left the room.

Okami fought back a low growl as she quickly put distance between her and the room, she needed to be able to hear what the hell was going on, but she couldn't do that if they were patrolling. Glancing up, she spotted crevices in the rocks of the cave, her feet launched her up, hefting herself onto the slight over throw of a rock that led to a rather nice inner cave, she slowly began to army crawl into the darkness, settling herself and hiding from view, hearing the foot steps come and drift away. She glanced around for a moment, I will stay here till they stop for the night.

"As I was saying you are very skilled." Pein looked into the bored face of the assassin before him.

"Yes I know what I have done now what do you want?" Akatenchii inquired looking into Pein's eyes.

Pein tensed his hand in annoyance. "I want you to join my organization, join Akatsuki."

Akatenchii blinked. "Join Akatsuki, that is what you want from me." She breathed out. The worst he can do if you say no is kill you. Her inner voice was actually serious. I know and if he does that he will inevitably have Okami-Nee-san after him. She closed her eyes deep in thought.

That don't bode well for him, and this don't bode well for you. This was bad and she knew it she was in the beast lair and there was currently no way out, but she did not want to be part of this organization.

"Well… what do you say?" Pein asked unaware of her internal conversation.

"No." Akatenchii stated opening her eyes looking into the now angry eyes.

"No." Pein repeated in a cold angry tone her single word.

"That is right no I may be a tool but I have a free will." She looked into his dangerous eyes.

"You say you are a tool, well once the Mizukage is done with you because you have outlived your usefulness he will dispose of you and your talents." Pein stated calmly.

"That is his choice, as I do not exist it does not matter." Akatenchii breathed calmly.

Pein clenched his jaw in anger. "Akatsuki is going to rule the world; we need talents like yours'."

"Seek them else where." Akatenchii closed her eyes. I think you are pissing him off. Her inner voice was amused. No really.

"If you do not join you will not go back to your village, as it will do me no good to send you back there." Pein gripped Akatenchii's chin, watching her open her eyes.

"Very well, I still say no." She murmured feeling his grip tighten on her chin.

"You are a fool; the members will have full access to you whenever they want, for whatever reason." Pein looked into her eyes. No fear, no indecision, just and empty night sky. I will have her join, either she will be willing or she will be forced but she will join.

"Alright." Pein looked behind him at the men. "Do with her as you please just get her out of here." He ordered. "Do not kill her… any of you."

Zetsu smirked and walked over to Pein and Akatenchii, he put his arm around Akatenchii's stomach pulling her into him in one harsh movement.

Hey look it's your friend the Garden gnome again. The voice giggled. Shut up. Akatenchii let out a slow breath as she felt herself being carried again. Aw but I don't want to shut up and you know you don't want me to shut up. The voice was sort of chiding. Oh believe me I do. Akatenchii grunted as she was dropped onto a cold hard surface.

"You always seem distracted Akatenchii." Zetsu murmured looking down at the Anbu who was now lying on the floor at his feet.

"I suppose." She muttered. Garden Gnome, hey you're all alone in a room with a Garden Gnome…aren't you lucky. The voice chuckled.

"You suppose, you are even a little distracted right now, what kind of shinobi are you?" He tilted his head.

"The kind that if I wasn't tied up could easily kill you." She muttered looking up as a dark look crossed Zetsu's face and he started laughing.

"You are in no place to kill anyone even if you do get untied, and in the situation you are in I would watch your threats." He warned.

"They are not threats Zetsu, I am not stupid, what I said was simply a fact." Akatenchii stated.

"Even if it is a fact I would watch what I say if I were you." He warned. "Others will not take your statements so simply." He turned and left the room.

Well your alone in a room what are you going to do next? The voice had very gaudy sarcasm. Akatenchii started working at her hands, they were small and she could dislocate her bones easily. "I'm gonna get my hands free." She muttered softly.

She popped her shoulder blades out of place and brought her hands up and over her head popping her bones back in place. This is easier. She started working on her hands first by dislocating her thumb and starting to pull, after about 15 minutes she sighed. This could take a while.
