"Hoshi!!" Yelled Akari as she ran up to me with Hajime, Hinagiku, Deidara, and Pein close behind.

"Are you o.k., big sis!?" Asked Hinagiku.

"Well, let's see, I have a katana going through my torso. I'm doing fantastic!" I yelled being sarcastic. Pein walked up to me.

"You are in sooo much trouble when we get home," He said. "But first we have to find a way to get that katana out without killing you."

"Why don't you just yank it out?" Asked Hinagiku grabbing the katana.

"Hinagiku! Don't pull it ou-" Before Pein finished his sentence, Hinagiku had yanked the katana out of my body. I screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

"Hinagiku!! What the hell did you do, un!?" Yelled Deidara. I weakly put my hand in front of my face, it was covered in blood. I could feel myself getting weaker and the pool of blood was getting bigger.

"Aren't you supposed to be a medical ninja?! Shouldn't you have known not to yank the katana out?!" Hajime criticized Hinagiku. Hinagiku's answer was drowned out by Akari.

"Aaaaahhhhgg!" Yelled Akari. "Sasuke's dead!"

I smirked before I passed out.

I woke up in my bed. I put a hand to my stomach and felt bandages. "I'm alive?" I whispered to myself.

"So, you're awake?" Asked Pein walking up to me and sitting at my side.

"Just barely," I said. "My stomach hurts like hell."

"You're lucky to even be alive," Said Pein pushing my bangs away from my face. "You'll have to stay in bed for a couple days until you've healed."

I groaned. "This sucks." I whined.

"That's what you get for going off trying to kill someone without my permssion." Said Pein. (What a loving father. *rolls eyes*)

"Pein, I've wanted to kill him for a long time, it was worth it." I said.

"Why don't you ever call me 'dad'?" He asked.

"It just doesn't feel right." I said. There was a knock on the door. Pein opened the door and saw Kisame on the other side.

"Hidan and Kakuzu would like to speak to you, Leader-sama." He said.

"Very well." Said Pein walking out of the room. Kisame walked into my room and sat in a chair next to my bed.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah, Pein said I have to stay in bed until I heal though." I said.

"Well, as long as you're alright, you should have seen Deidara, he was crying so hard the night we brought you back unconscious. Your whole body was covered in your blood." Said Kisame.

"You make it sound worse than it really was." I said.

"How would you know, you were the one who was unconscious." He said.

"That's true." I said.

Akari's P.O.V.

Hidan and Kakuzu went on a mission but I forgot what their mission was. I went to bed and slept on it.

Next morning I remembered what was going to happen. Asuma-sensei was going to get killed! I rushed out the door and tried to find them before it's too late!

*Flash back*

"This sucks! I can't do this!" I yelled.

Asuma laughed. "It takes practice." He said. He took his little knife thingies from me and showed me how to use them, again.

It took me a while but I finally did it! "Well done, Akari," He said. "Let's get something to eat for all your hard work." We went to a small restaurant and ate. "You're something special, Akari." Said Asuma.

"How?" I asked.

"You work hard and rarely ever give up. It takes a lot for someone to do what you do." He said.

"Thanks!" I said.

"By the way, Happy Birthday." He said.

"How did you know it's my birthday!?" I asked.

"Hoshi told me." He said taking out a small present from his bag.

I opened it and inside was a small jewelery box. "It may not be your thing," said Asuma. "But when you open it, it plays the most beautiful song." I opened it and it did play a beautiful song. It was so soothing, so soft.

"Thank you, Asuma-sensei, this means so much to me." I said.

*End Flash back*

A tear rolled down my cheek. I found Hidan and Kakuzu just as they were about to kill Asuma. "Stop!" I yelled, but it was to late, Hidan had already sliced Asuma with his scyth.

I ran to Asuma and held him in my arms. He was still alive... barely. Asuma looked up at me with sunken eyes.

He reached into his pocket and put a small box in my hand. "I knew I would see you again, so I got you something for the birthdays I missed," he said. "It's something to put in the little jewelery box I gave you..."

His body grew limp in my arms. "Asuma-sensei?" He didn't reply. I opened the box and took out a small ring with a clear blue dimond. I started crying.

Shikamaru took a cigarette and lit it. "Shikamau! What the hell are you doing!" I yelled.

He ignored me and glared at Hidan. "I'm going to kill you!" He said.

"Shikamaru, if you even try, I will hurt you!" I said putting Asuma's dead body on the ground.

"Why!? Are you on their side or something!?" He yelled.

"That's just it. I AM on their side," I said. "I'm an Akatsuki member." Shikamaru's eyes widened.

"Alright, I get it. You're shocked that I'm part of the Akatsuki." I said rolling my eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me before!?" Yelled Shikamaru. "And on top of that, why do you keep helping us!?"

"Yeah Akari, why do you keep fucking helping them!?" Yelled Hidan.

"Shut the fuck up Hidan!I'm in the middle of a very emotional conversation!" I yelled at him.

"I'm still waiting for an answer!" Said Shikamaru.

I sighed. "I can't just let my friends die so I try and help them, no matter whose side I'm on!" I said feeling my face redden with frustration, sadness and anger.

"Whatever," said Shikamaru turning his back on me. "Just get out of here." I felt the complete pain and agony of rejection at that moment. It's like his words pierced my body with hundreds of swords. Even in my original world, I've neve felt so much pain in one sentence.

I started to walk away with Hidan and Kakuzu. I took one last look at Shikamaru. He was staring at Asuma's dead body. "I'm sorry..." I whispered as I turned around and started to walk again.

Once I got back to the base, I grabbed my katana and started towards the door. "Akari, are you alright?" Asked Hajime from behind me, her voice filled with concern.

"Wha-, oh, y-yeah, I'm alright." I said putting on a fake smile.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yes, I'm fine!" I said still smiling. Hajime nodded and walked to her room.

I walked outside and went to the small lake I go to quite often. An ominous cloud cast over the lake giving it an eerie feeling. I felt terrible. I didn't know what to do. I knew I wasn't totally sane at that moment because I was about to kill myself with my katana.


OMG!!!! what's going to happen!!!0.o
