A/N: Okay, I might've just figured out what the Juubi is. Nobody ever explained it in the manga, but I think I've figured it out. Maybe. I could be wrong.

Also, just to clarify:

Dein is the body of Pein who looks a bit like Deidara, and used animal summons. Also known as the first Animal realm.

Kein is the one with the longest hair, and I think that it was Human Realm.

Fein is the female body, and the other Animal Realm.


"I don't understand how she could have the Juubi inside of her. The Juubi was destroyed, and turned into nine different tailed beasts. Besides that, we have the Juubi's actual body in our possession… How can this be?" Madara said.

"She could be lying." Konan suggested. "That wouldn't be anything new."

"That's true… But, perhaps it is the tenth tail. The actual tail, I mean. The nine tailed beasts each give him their power, and one of their tails… this is the tenth and final tail." Pein suggested.

"Yes, that could be it… But, before we can seal the Juubi, we have to seal the other nine beasts. But, we'll deal with that in the morning… It's late right now. I'll get Deidara to feed her, go to bed."

"Right."


"I don't understand why we have to feed her, un…"

"Senpai, we just have to bring down a plate of food… What's so bad about it?" Tobi asked.

"I was busy."

"Doing what?"

"Sleeping! It's late, un! And why the hell does the camera guy have to come with us?! We're not even filming an episode right now!"

"Senpai, we're ninjas. We're supposed to be ready for anything at any given moment. And the camera man is named Carl. Be nice to him. Plus, he's taping some extra stuff to go under 'bonus scenes' in the DVD!"

"I know that, but couldn't we just make her wait until breakfast? And since when do you know the camera man's name? Also, when did we decide to make a DVD?"

Tobi didn't answer Deidara's questions, and the three of them walked to Rei's room in silence. When they opened the door, Rei was sitting in the corner, trying to look as cute and pitiful as humanly possible.

"Here's your dinner."

Rei took her food, and hopefully up at Deidara.

"Can you let me out of here?" She squeaked.

"Um… No. What kind of stupid question is that?"

"I just… I don't like it here."

"You're not supposed to like it here, you're a prisoner."

"Your leader is a monster…"

"That's… off-topic. And yeah, most people would say that. Join the club."

"Really? I like your leader." Carl said.

"Yay, Carl!" Tobi yelled, holding out his hand for a high-five.

"He's a horrible human being! He deserves to die! I hope Konan kills him!"

"Konan? Kill Leader-sama? I don't think that would happen." Tobi said.

"Why is she so afraid of him? Konan was so strong when we were kids… what happened to her?"

"She's still strong, and Leader-sama is the last thing she'd be afraid of…" Deidara told Rei.

"Senpai, let's go. Tobi is tired."

Sadly, Deidara and Tobi were not going to sleep in their own beds anytime soon. Rei jumped up, and pulled Deidara into a kiss, which was completely uncalled for. Carl was amused by this, and made sure to zoom in on it.

"WHAT THE HELL, UN?!" Deidara screamed, shoving her away. Deidara and Tobi were so busy being mentally scarred that they didn't notice Rei run out the door, and lock them inside.

"S-Senpai! She locked the door!"

"Move, I'll blow it down!"

"Senpai, this door is unbreakable! Don't you remember? It was supposed to hold really tough prisoners!"

"Damn it!"

"Hey, she left her dinner here!" Carl said.


Meanwhile, the rest of Akatsuki was having a much better evening.

"That meeting took a lot longer than I expected." Konan muttered.

"It's over now, but we have a lot of work to do in the morning. Go to sleep."

"And where exactly are they going?" She asked, watching three of his other bodies walk outside.

"I might as well get some of it done now."

So, she watched Kein and Dein follow Fein outside, and then headed over to her own room.

"Only three of you are going?"

"Only three are needed right now." He told her.

Pein followed her into her room and shut the door, leaving it almost pitch black. Konan ran her hand along the wall to find the light switch, but instead found another hand.

"Leave them off."

"Nagato, I thought you were busy." Konan said, running her hand up his arm.

"That's why it's nice to have a bunch of other bodies. Multitasking is easier."

That was certainly true. With so many puppets off doing his dirty work, Nagato was free to do what he pleased. Tonight, Konan happened to be on the top of his list. Pein remained simply as a guard, making sure that nobody would be interrupting them.


"Aaaahhh… Jashin…"

Rei –who had no idea how to navigate the endless hallways and stairwells of the Akatsuki base – accidentally stumbled upon Hidan, who was in the middle of one of his sacrifices.

"O-oh my god! Are you okay?!" She yelled, running up to him.

"W-what? Hey, get the hell out of here, I'm busy!"

"Don't worry, I'll get this thing out of you!" Rei offered, pulling the stake out of Hidan's chest.

"What do you think you're doing?! I was in the middle of praising Lord Jashin! You've ruined the ritual!"

"Huh?"

"I'm going to kill you, little bitch!" Hidan yelled, pushing himself up. Rei turned around and took off, trying to find a hiding spot.


"Deidara, how long could it possibly take to drop off a plate of food?!" Sasori asked, talking to nobody but himself. The puppet master recalled that Deidara had been off to feed Rei quite a while ago. So, he had decided to go and find out what was taking so long. When he discovered that the door had been locked, he realized that maybe Rei was smarter than she looked.

"Sasori no Danna, where's Rei!?" Deidara yelled, pushing the door open as soon as Sasori had unlocked it.

"I don't know. Why, did she get out?"

"She tricked me, and locked us in here!"

"Us?"

"Hi, there." Carl said, waving to Sasori.

"Ah, Sasori! Thanks for letting us out!" Tobi giggled, prancing out the door.

"OH MY GOD! HELP ME!"

Sasori, Deidara, Tobi and Carl watched as Rei ran by, with Hidan close behind her, screaming about how he was going to kill her.

"Found her." Sasori said.

Everybody ran after Rei, who now had a nice little group of homicidal maniacs following her. After a few more minutes of running aimlessly around the base, Rei happened to find a door that was clearly labeled 'KONAN'. Rei pounded on the door, hoping to be let inside.

"Konan, let me in! They're going to kill me!"


"N-Nagato… The door."

"It's locked, don't worry about it."

Pein also happened to be leaning against the door, just in case the it happened to open. Rei screamed one last time before two gigantic blades came flying into Konan's door. It happened to be the top of Hidan's scythe, which –sadly– had missed Rei, and hit Pein. Hidan pulled his scythe back, only to pull the door away with it. Deidara pushed Rei into the room, and tackled her, while Hidan used his scythe to pin Rei down by her shirt.

"Hah! Got you now, Rei! We're going to lock you up again, and then you're not coming out until we kill you, un!"

"Um… S-Senpai?"

"What, Tobi?!"

Deidara and Hidan looked where Tobi was pointing, and immediately felt very awkward. Nagato and Konan were standing a few feet away, and looked as if they had been busy.

"Um… Hi, Leader-sama… Konan."

"Hey, Leader-sama! Gettin' lucky tonight, huh?" Hidan laughed.

"GET OUT!" Nagato screamed.

"Alright, alright, we're going…. Sheesh." Hidan muttered.

"W-what the hell are you doing to my sister?!" Rei asked.

"What does it look like I'm doing to your 'sister'?" Nagato growled.

"Get off of her!"

"You know, whatever you're thinking, I can assure you that this is completely consensual."

"Liar!"

"It's always consensual if they're unconscious." Hidan said.

"…What?"

"Or sacrificed."

"Get your filthy hands off of her, or I'll kill you!" Rei screamed.

"You? Kill me? Kill a god?" Nagato asked.

Rei somehow managed to push Deidara off, and pull herself out from under Hidan's scythe. Her eyes changed from the strange color that they usually were, into the Sharingan in her left eye, and the Rinnegan in the other.

"The Sharingan? And the Rinnegan? What?" Konan asked.

"I… said… get off." Rei growled.

However, Madara wasn't going to let Rei hurt anybody at the moment, because that would cost them a lot of time. He grabbed her, and pinched a nerve in the neck, causing her to pass out almost immediately.

"Tobi will take her back to the holding chamber!"

So, everyone left the room, leaving Konan and Nagato alone again. However, since the door had been ripped right off the wall, the two of them decided to go to Nagato's room, where he posted Preta and Naraka path at his door to make sure that they wouldn't be interrupted again.

"Her eyes…" Konan whispered, struggling to keep her thoughts straight.

"Deal with it tomorrow." Nagato told her.


The next day:

"I assume you had fun last night, didn't you?" Madara asked. Nagato ignored his question, and followed him down to Rei's holding chamber.

"How is it possible that she has the Rinnegan and the Sharingan?"

"She might've had one when she was born, and stolen the other later." Madara suggested.

"True…"


When Konan woke up, she discovered that Nagato had already left to take care of other things. This wasn't exactly anything new, so she simply got out of bed, and headed for the bathroom. She took a shower, and got dressed. While she was putting the flower back in her hair, the door flew open.

"Deidara?! Haven't you learned to knock yet?!"

Deidara ignored her, and slammed the door closed behind him. After locking it, he ran up to Konan, and grabbed the collar of her cloak.

"They're after me, un!"

"Who?"

"They're all after me! Every single one! They're crazy! I'm going to die at this rate!"

"Deidara, what are you talking about?"

"Itachi, Hidan, Sasori, Tobi, Zetsu, Kisame, even Leader-sama… All of them! Except Carl… Carl isn't after me."

"What do you mean they're 'after you'?"

"Come on out, blondie! I've got a surprise for you!" Hidan laughed from outside.

"Hear him?!"

"Hidan? That's what you're afraid of? Hidan? Really?"

"Don't let him hurt me!" Deidara wailed, falling to his knees.

"What the hell is wrong with you, Deidara? Why aren't you out there kicking his ass? This isn't normal, you're usually so… capable."

"I don't want to die, un!" Deidara sobbed, tears suddenly falling down his face.

"Are you crying? You can't be; that's not normal."

"Just… get me out of here, un!"


A/N: Dun-Dun-Dun! Next chapter will be the last 'Rei' chapter, I think. But, this was fun to write, and it certainly put some life back in my OTP.
