"Sorry Sasuke, maybe next time…" he spoke quietly but coldly before a flock of crows appeared and surrounded him and Kisame, transporting the pair and the girl to the hideout. "Damnit."
That morning wasn't a good one for the Hokage or Team 7 when they found out Ren's disappearance. "What happened to the guard last night?" Tsunade asks Ibiki, the man in charge of Ren's security. "I just spoke with them and they said that they didn't hear or noticed anything last night. I strongly believe we're dealing with a much stronger girl than we thought," the man answered. "Actually I don't think she left on her own," Tsunade adds. "What do you mean Lady Tsunade?" Sakura asks. "I will bet on it that Ren had help…from the Akatsuki." The woman bit her lip out of anger, imagining a class-S criminal like the Akatsuki sneaking around in her village last night. "What do you think Kakashi?" she asks. "I agree with you. They're probably taking her to this…Pein guy." "Then we've got to get her back!" Naruto yells fiercely. The Hokage shook her head and let out a quiet but firm, "No." "B-But why Lady Tsunade?" Sakura asks. "They'll expect a team to come after them which means there's a good possibility that they can ambush you. I don't want anyone killed. We're dealing with the Akatsuki after all. No one is allowed to go after the girl, is that understood…Kakashi?" the woman asks with a warning look toward the older Jounin. "Yes ma'am," the copy ninja merely responded.
Itachi and Kisame traveled to Pein's main hideout in the Hidden Rain village and brought Ren back to Pein and Konan. Itachi was hesitant at first to hand the sleeping witch over to her master but he relented. Pein takes the girl and says, "Good work. You two can rest up before heading out again. The preparations are almost ready." "Preparations?" Kisame questions. "I've had plans for Ren for a long time. It's almost time for all her training to pay off." Itachi's eyes narrowed accusingly. He didn't like the sound of this. "Master Pein, you should come out of the rain. You'll get Ren sick," Konan speaks as she joins the men outside in the rainstorm. "She'll wake up soon. Go draw her a bath, Konan." "Yes sir." The four members retreated inside the hideout. Pein took the girl to a spare room until she wakes up while Kisame and Itachi hid out somewhere else.
She felt something hovering over her. You know, the feeling that someone is watching you sleep and it's eating at you. But it wasn't annoying, instead; she welcomed it. A hand reaches out to her and caressed her pale cheek. She leans against that callused hand she has grown to love, despite what that hand has done. The hand trails down to her neck and it sent shivers down her spine. Her mouth opens slightly to let out a quieted moan. Another hand holds her hips and slowly falls to her thighs. Ren sighs from the sensuous touch. Then, something at the back of her head snapped her wide awake and she jerks up. Gasping for air, Ren looked around her surroundings. She recognized the room as one of the spare rooms she would stay in with Master Pein. Ren lied back down and sighed. She was home. The door opened and Ren saw Konan enter. "Good. You're awake. I've made a hot bath for you." "That would be great. Thank you Lady Konan." The girl followed her sub-teacher to the washroom and slips into the elongated tub. Konan was about to brush her student's hair but Ren held up a hand. "Can I be alone?" Konan stared at the girl briefly before nodding. "I'll let Master Pein know you're awake." Once Konan slipped out of the washroom, Ren sinks deeper into the water. Everything but her head was submerged in the warm water. The multiple emotions bombard her again. Depression is winning…Now that she was alone, Ren could cry all she wanted. The tears came out easily and streamed down her warm cheeks. She didn't know that a certain someone stood outside the washroom, listening to the echoing sounds of her sobs. Each little sob slowly broke a piece of the heart he didn't realize he possessed. He had to force himself to walk away from the room. He didn't want to be accused of being a masochist.

After hours of crying and trying to clean up, Ren leaves the washroom in nothing but a cotton robe. She went back to the room she woke up in and locked up the door so she could be alone a little longer. She presses her back against the door and slides down on the floor. Surprisingly she has more tears to shed as they quietly slip out. "You look so innocent when you cry." Ren gasps as she looks up to see Itachi-without his Akatsuki robe- standing over her. She quickly gets up on her feet and tried to wipe her tears away. "Itachi-sama, I didn't see you." "I wish you wouldn't call me that…" "Huh? But I've always called you Itachi-sama." "I don't like it anymore." He takes her hands away from her face and cups it with his hands so she would look at him directly. "I've never seen you like this Ren. Does it hurt that much to leave them?" She tried to look away but Itachi held her firmly. Her eyes slanted away to the right. "Look at me and answer me Ren." She obeyed and she damned herself because the tears were coming out again. "Yes…I've never felt so…ashamed and guilty…and mortified." The Uchiha closed his eyes to reflect this revelation. He takes her in his arms and holds her close to him. His head hangs close to her ear. "This is the burden of the betrayer. If you don't divide the weight, it'll slowly eat you away." Ren's hands were already clinging onto the back of his shirt and her head pressed against his chest. "What are you saying?" she whispers. "I've been bewitched by a child the moment I first met her. She looked at me with bright blue eyes and smiled at me, as if I wasn't a Class-S criminal but a simple man. Every time I would leave, she would wait for my return, as if I meant something important to her. Now, I wish she would share her weight and burdens like I did with her…" Ren slowly looks up at the man she has loved all of the years she has served the Akatsuki. His raven black eyes bore into her and her hand reaches out to his cheek. "Itachi-sama…" "I want you to call me Itachi. I want to be your equal." "Itachi, everything I have worked for is to hope that I would be noticed in your eyes." The hand now falls to his chest where his heart beats rhythmically. "Please give me your burden," he murmurs. Ren nods and slowly strips herself from her bathrobe. Itachi licks her up to her breasts where he begins to suck on them. A small moan escapes from her mouth. Itachi bites Ren a little too hard and she moans even louder. Itachi begins to rub on Ren's nipples as they slowly turn hard. They both lay back down in bed. Itachi places himself in between her legs and entered inside the girl. Tears roll from her cheeks but she ignores them as she held onto her love for dear life. Ren knew she was almost at her climax and didn't want anyone to hear so she bit hard into Itachi's shoulders to muffle the scream…
Again, Ren finds herself in the white forest and running away from the winged lion. "Master Pein!" In that instant, the glass dragon came before her but this time it coiled its body around her protectively. The lion had stopped and it roared in protest at the dragon. Ren falls to her knees in exhaustion. The glass dragon lowers its head to her and nudged her gently. "Ren, in order for me to grant you my power, you must throw away all your attachments. You must have nothing and you will become nothing. Clean and pure." "But…what about my uncle? And Itachi-sama!?" "Let them go Ren. Detach yourself from this world and become an extension of God." Ren, now as her present self, looked down at her feet, deciding her choice. She finally looks up at the dragon with blank eyes. "Then lend me your power…so that I can obliterate my enemies who stand in my master's way." The dragon's Rinnegan eyes glowed a pale violet shade. "Very well." Ren was suddenly enveloped in white light and woke up with a fierce jerk of her body, feeling as if she has left behind her old self and was born into a body so foreign that it almost frightens her.
