The Akatsuki helped Chisato get into the wheelchair, and she began to learn how to navigate it.
– "This is necessary before you meet the rest of us, and our boss". – Said Konan.
Chisato felt like she wanted to vomit. When she was sitting in that thing, it was like she was sitting in a coffin, even if it had wheels.
How do those cretins expect her to move around in this?
Chisato tried her best to keep being her usual calm self, but every second it became more and more impossible.
Still, despite all the pain, Chisato continued pushing her wheelchair around, and biting her lip. All this was so fast and so shocking, but Chisato held her composure.
Konan looked at this woman with interest and even gave her a slight smile. Suddenly, she put her hand on the wheelchair and began pushing it, instead of Chisato.
– "Hm? Hey Konan, what are you doing?" – Chisato asked.
– "Helping up. Well done, Chidori-san, I think you are ready to meet everyone".
Chisato lowered her head, and looked at her boneless legs.
Why her? And what about her family, left in Konoha?
She has no future - she is a dead weight now… What does her family benefits from a useless, half-dead corpse such as herself?
When they came downstairs, Chisato noticed that all the Akatsuki she saw in the room, were all waiting for her.
– "Welcome, Chisato Chidori". – Konan repeated her greetings. – "Let me introduce all of us".
Chisato chuckled.
– "Your organization is smaller than I expected".
A red head young man, who looked like he was literally Chisato's male clone, smugly smiled.
– "Thank you for the compliment". – The man looked calm and collected.
Konan glanced at Chisato, but continued. She began pointing fingers on each of the Akatsuki members.
– "I'm Konan, this is: Sasori, Hidan, Kakuzu, Kisame, Zetsu… Wait, where is Deidara and-"
- "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"
Before Konan could finish, a loud scream crossed the whole house. Everyone immediately turned their heads and ran to the direction of the scream, leaving Chisato and Konan in slight confusion.
Dumbfounded Chisato simply began moving her wheelchair, not thinking about anything. Konan noticed and helped, and both reached the room with everyone else.
Kisame slammed the door open, and Chisato with everyone else, saw a weird picture:
In the center of some half-basement room, there was standing a short girl with long beautiful blonde hair. The girl was holding a big sheet of paper, and was screaming at some already terrified man, who was even covering himself with his hands.
– "YOU IDIOT! HOW HARD IS IT TO UNDERSTAND MY MASTERPIECE?! LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE – YOU TRASHED THE WHOLE IDEA OF MY DESIGN! IS IT SO HARD TO LOOK ON THE FREAKING PAPER?! AND THIS IS MY GIFT TO THE NEW MEMBER!"
– "D... Deidara-same, this request was really hard to do... I did the best I could"... – The man said in trembling voice.
Those dumb screams made Chisato raise her eyebrow. The blonde girl would have kept harassing that poor guy, but suddenly, Sasori stepped in, and separated the girl from the man.
– "Hey Deidara, stop being an embarrassment. You are making a fool out of yourself, right in front of Chisato-san herself".
Sasori nodded to the frightened man, and he immediately ran out of the room.
– "You scared that poor bastard, Deidara". – Kisame laughed a bit sadistically.
The blonde girl turned and saw Chisato. She immediately got red and covered something that was laying behind.
– "M-Master Sasori… Look how that dumbass trashed my work. How can I give it out to her in this condition?" – The girl began stuttering when talking to Sasori.
Everyone grabbed their foreheads, and Kakuzu even muttered under his breath: "ugh, that idiot chicken will always be a clown".
Chisato waved, and the blonde waved back. Suddenly, Konan cut in the front line, and pointed at her.
– "Oh sorry, some of our members were absent when the introduction was made. Chidori-san – meet Deidara. He is our youngest, but also one of the most powerful here".
Chisato raised her eyebrow. He? That person was guy?
– "Wait… You are not a girl?" – She said calmly, but with surprise in her tone.
With those words, Hidan burst out laughing hysterically, and everyone tried their best to not follow his example. Deidara became red as a tomato, his eyes wided.
– "Wh… HOW CAN YOU THINK THAT?!"
Chisato only sarcastically chuckled.
– "Well sorry, confusion".
Konan rolled her eyes and stepped in. She looked at him, and then hit Deidara right in the forehead.
– "Ugh, you can't even be serious for one time?" – Konan asked Deidara, who already had steam coming out of his ears.
They began arguing, all while Chisato looked at all this, and she had absolutely no idea what was happening around her. Who the hell was who, and what to do…
And while she was thinking, suddenly, a door opened from behind.
– "Hello, Konan? Sorry, got late with training. Heard you all, decided to join you here". – Chisato heard a deep calm voice.
"Hm? Another Akatsuki?"– Chisato thought and turned her head. And then, the world around her had stopped.
Uchiha. Itachi.
Chisato's eyes wided, and she begun breathing heavily, with breaks. Her heart was racing, she even grabbed her chest, at least to not fall out of the wheelchair.
Her head began spinning. The memories Chisato tried to bury so bad were coming back…
"Get up! Get up please! …mi!"
"Please… Don't leave us!"
"Itachi! Sasuke!"
"I… Itachi… He cut all… I saw… No…"
Konan began shaking Chisato, and even gave her a slight slap, and she snapped out of it. Firstly, the view around was blurry, but it stopped after a couple of seconds.
Her vision then focused on Itachi's face. Itachi looked right at Chisato – he clearly recognized her. His eyes were empty – no signs of regret.
Chisato must have been looked desperate at that moment, because all of the Akatsuki's looks were fixed on her.
How? How was that possible?! Why it had to be Itachi Uchiha of all people that are here?!
– "Long time no see, Chisato".– Itachi said, not turning his eyes away from her.
– "Itachi".
– "Oh yeah, he told us that you knew each other". – Said Kisame, not noticing that Chisato was continuously looking at Itachi, with pure hatred in her eyes.
Chisato was drilling Itachi's forehead, but he wasn't moving, nor reacting to her. Then, she clenched her firsts tightly, and quickly raised her head.
No one around had time to react, and in a split second, Chisato casted an extremely strong and deadly Wind Jutsu, that was aiming right at Itachi.
– "Itachi Uchiha! You are dead!"
