Chapter: 12

Akari was avoiding Tobi in her prison of a room, reading some of the books she ended up taking with no way of returning to the Leaf village that she retrieved them from. Hearing a sudden, harsh knock on the door, she sighed and got up to see who was there to see... "Who are you?" She asks rather uncomfortable with the sudden person visiting her, especially since the only thought that could come to her was that they are murderers and killers.

Akari recognized the orange spiraled mask behind the person in front of her, narrowing her eyes on the boy she spoke, "Tobi... Am I to go on a mission with someone who doesn't care for secrets?" Only for the guy in front to speak, "Damn right you are, or we can just kill you now b**ch." Said the person, but she just looked at him with her silvery eyes and held a single digit to indicate 'one minute' to them before closing the door to gather some supplies; a spare change of clothes, some scrolls she borrowed from leaf for defense and storing items, and a bag to carry anything she finds.

Only to open the door again right before the person in front of the door to knock again, and almost hit her face. "I am not that slow..." she said in a slight monotonous tone, seeing as the man before her had silver hair slicked back to about shoulder length at best, while his appearance seemed more like a teen or young adult compared to Tobi. "Aka-chan? Are you okay?" Tobi speaks in a slightly scared tone, only for me to gaze at tobi watchfully, "What do you mean?" she asks carefully, only for Tobi to grab my hand and pull me to a mirror.

Before the mirror stood a reflection of Akari, who had a small frame and silver eyes present behind strands of light blue hair, but on her forehead hidden slightly by her light hair color was a slight bruise and a little bit of blood. While the rest of her was covered now by the Akatsuki cloak that held the same red clouds and black sky appeal.

"Tobi-cha... Thank you..." Akari spoke softly, staring at herself before lightly licking her fingers to dab at her forehead injury. Until it gotten to a point where she didn't notice it, or gotten too tired of trying to rid of the noticeability to just end up putting up with it. "Okay, lets go." she said, turning to see the gray haired guy with it all slicked back and gave Tobi a slight smile before starting off following the two boys.

Tobi and Akari walked together, while Hidan the silver haired akatsuki member was walking slightly ahead by maybe a foot or two, while also aiming to ignore Tobi mainly, but also trying to flirt with Akari with his cussing slipping in slightly, but she did not really pay attention to it.

Without the trio or mainly Akari knowing some of the other Akatsuki members were watching over how they did and to see if they did well as a team, but would intervene if things gotten dire. Without having all the akatsuki members there, but with a good spy or two to keep an eye on them, and how Akari is with working for them.

Akari, Hidan and Tobi stopped at a forested area nearby a large pool of water, where they are a good distance away from their hide out, but also other villages are not capable of finding them within a hour or two. She sat on the ground against the sturdy trees surrounding them, listening to the limited peace and quiet, until Hidan yelled, "Tobi! Shut the hell up!" While Tobi was seemingly babbling about something she was not paying attention in the least to, until he ran over to her seemingly crying. "Aka-chan... Aka-chan is only friend to Tobi..." Tobi cries to her, while I looked up at Hidan in a look that mainly asked, 'What happened?' to him.

Akari gave a limp hug to Tobi which consisted of Tobi being in the lead of the hug, and herself loosely doing what he did in turn, while waiting for time to pass until they could sneak into a specific area without being noticed. "What place are we checking out?" I mumbled out, to look at Tobi who seemed happy to hug me, while Hidan was not talking to me or looking at me, it seemed. "We are taking information from each village..." Hidan simply said, with a tone that made me nervous to try to ask about. Choosing to shrug it off, Akari looked around for a decent view of some of the villages to know that the Leaf village, and many others not just counting the main five were getting a look over of their information their keeping and may be hiding in their walls.

Akari and her makeshift team slowly arrived at the Leaf village, although she felt uncomfortable and unnerved by the idea of bumping into the Leaf genin group again, only with how things are she may have to fight them and at worst, kill them. Akari thought about the books available in the Leaf village, her face growing pink and warm from some of the tales she was thinking of with a hint of sexual content involved, to a point where she could not stand thinking about it any further unless she was going to actually change her name to 'Aka' in a few seconds.

Arriving at the Leaf village, it was about dusk and she was not willing to get any closer than seeing the gates before actually entering the village, but Tobi and Hidan were rather eager to enter it themselves. "Why don't you two go in, I will wait..." I say quietly, watching the surrounding cautiously. Akari stared dully at her surroundings, her silver eyes feeling lifeless at the surroundings and only seemed to daze out and close like she was weary, or look elsewhere.
