I look between all of them. Ok now that's just plain odd...I can see clearly and i can detect every movement around me. I again glance around at all of them this time with questioning. Well i was questioning two things.
One: What just happened?
I'm serious! I have no idea what just happened. One minute Madara is about to kill me. Then I'm standing in front of the other Akatsuki people. Last time i checked that wasn't normal!
Itachi seemed to have caught my confusion and asked, "You don't remeber what happened do you?" Everyone, excluding me who nodded, looked at Itachi questioningly. Itachi doesn't say anything as he kept eye contact with me. I no longer found his red contacts creepy since i guess i've gotten used to them. Though i still found it odd that these people seemed to wear them 24/7.
"Is that true," Pein asks looking back at me. Once again i nod. He sighs and turns me around. I look and see that my sisters were just as Madara had left them. Then my eyes caught what Pein wanted me to see. Around the clearing were marks of blood that led to where I was standing. Destroyed trees, as in uprooted and slashed, and upturned dirt, like someone had been in a scrap, followed the path.
"Who.." I was cut off by Pein, who still hasn't let go of me much to my disliking, "You did this." I turn and look at him to see if he was serious. And of course he was. I start to shake my head as i stepped back. I look down at my hands and found them slightly battered and they had spots of crimson red on them that i gathered was blood. I shook them quickly trying to get the substance off. When it didn't, I turn and wipe it on the closet person, which happened to be Pein. Hey i didn't want it on my clothing though i'm sure it already was.
I see his eyes flash with annoyance but at this point i didn't care. And it goes along with my second question.
Why was everyone looking at me weirdly?
I had half a mind i would comment on how staring was rude, but I don't think i'm in the position to say anything figuring that i just wiped blood on the leader of the Akatsuki. So instead i just continue to questioning stare between the members, hoping that someone would catch my question.
Well someone that i never thought would catch it, did. Kakuzu, who now i notice is standing to my right beside Pein, says, "Does someone have a mirror?" Suddenly this tail looking thing is in front of me and i follow with my eyes to see that it's coming from Sasori's stomach. My first reaction is to quickly back up from it because it was small and sharp, but what looked back in the small reflection took me by surprise.
"Holy crap when did i get these contacts?"
My eyes were as red as Madara's and Itachi's, but along with it they had rings that went across my eyes, like Pein's. It's like they're combined. I look up to more odd stares directed at me. It took me all of two seconds to realize that i had said that out loud. The weird tail thing is retracted back to Sasori and it disappears underneath his cloak.
No one says anything. What do i expect? A friendly chat with them since we all get along so swimmingly...i need to get away from this world...
"Pay," Pein finally starts, "do you honestly think that all these things, the walking on water, our eyes, Sasori's chakra strings, Kisame's and Zetu's obvious differences, and this world...is all fake? That they're only effects and we're only actors trying to fool you?" I look at him and nod slightly. There were sighs around the members. And soon i get what i wanted, but now regret, before..a conversation.
"Pay you felt the real effects of my strings when i controled you."
From Sasori.
"You saw my eyes change from normal to back right before you."
Itachi states, careful to leave out the other one.
"You've seen me sink into the ground. Idiot that should be proof enough!"
Guess who that one was.
Finally i got tired of it. I put up my hands and they all stop. Once i got their attention, and a well needed adrenaline boost, i spoke, "Let me clarify. When you brought me here you left a lot of things out. You tried to make me believe that I was crazy, tried obviously to hide something, and in the end you're trying to convince me that this was all real? I'm not stupid! I've known for some time now that this is all real...it's just unnatural and lets face it! I can't adapt to something i was thrown into that you all have been living with your whole lives."
Aha! I won with my logic!
The only reason i say this is because everyone looked either away from me or at the ground. I turn so that my back is to them. "You said before that the original plan was to send us on all our seperate ways, am i right?" When i got no answer i turn to look back at them. Pein nodded. I turned back around, making sure i didn't look across the clearing directly, and started walking away.
I was suddenly grabbed by a pair of arms and everything went black.
