Ahh finally going to update. Now, first of all I really have to say this but everyone is MAJOR OOC, you hear?! XD so don't complain to me if everyone's all weird acting…trust me they will be. I don't own Naruto, but I do own Aki! :D Enjoy!

"Wake up," I heard a voice ask me. I opened my eyes and screamed.

"Where am I? Who are you? WHO AM I?" I was so confused. What was my name again? My name is, my name is…my name is…

"Aki, are you okay?" A blond haired guy with his hair up in a ponytail asked me. He was keeping me in a black cloak, the snow on the ground cold. I was shivering and he pulled me closer. "Aki?"

"Aki? Who's that?" Something about that name reminded me of something.

"Itachi, you hit her head too hard! She can't remember ANYTHING!" What? I got hit on the head? When? Who are these people anyways?

"Tell me…what's going on?" I poked the blond who was hoarding me in his cloak. "Please?"

"Itachi? Should we?" I looked, removed part of the blonde's cloak that was obstructing my view. And I saw a guy with red eyes.

"EEEEP!" And I hid back in the cloak. "Scary guy with red eyes." The blond laughed.

"At least she didn't see Kisame." A what? I looked out of the cloak again. I was twitching, but I was able to look at the man with red eyes. I looked to his side. A guy with a face that reminded me of fishes stood there.

"YEEEEK!!" I hid again. "Fish face guy scares me moreeee!" I screamed.

"See Kisame, someone agrees with the rest of us," the blond said. I was still screaming.

"Shut her up!" I heard. I didn't want to get killed by these scary people, I quieted myself down.

"What's your name?" I whispered to the guy cloaking me.

"Deidara. Your name is Aki, 12 years old, and an orphan. We're taking care of you because your parents died," Deidara said. My parents…died? I started crying.

"My parents are dead and I didn't even know them!?" I whimpered. Deidara rubbed my head but drew back quickly. "What's wrong?" I asked between sobs.

"Nothing. It's just that, they died on a mission to the Sand Village." Deidara said. 'Lies, all lies. We have to make a fake identity for her.' Deidara thought. 'Her chakra…it's so strong. My hand yearns to feed off of it.' (does it feed on chakra o.o)

I stopped crying now. I don't remember anything. Not even my parents. How can that be? And now I only figure out who I am from a guy I don't even remember I know? Heh…I MUST be going crazy. My head hurt so much I rested it in my hands and heard a metal clink. Huh?

"What's this?" I said, removing the head protector. "Deidara-chan, what's this?" I asked him. He looked down.

"That's your village symbol, the Leaf. Oh, that reminds me," he took out a sharp knife like object and I withdrew a bit, "Don't worry, here, give me the headband," I gave it to him and he scratched a line across it. "There, put it back on."

I did as I was told, putting the headband back on. "What was that line for, Deidara-chan?"

"It means you're part of the 'family' now. Come on, let's get you a jacket."

I did feel very, VERY cold, I got up. "Stay in the cloak, or you're going to freeze to death. Literally." I blinked, I don't want to freeze. That'd just be too horrid.

My memory was all I could think of as they led he led me somewhere. My memory…how? How is it possible? To lose it all? The memories I created for the last 12 years. How? I looked at the sky. Birds…free as ever. That sparked my memory. Father! I flinched a bit, Deidara looking at me. I continued walking, looking at the sky. Father..I do not remember your face. I do not remember you name. I just know, birds, you always related to them.

"Itachi…" Deidara murmured.

"Excuse me, what?" I said, interrupted from my thoughts.

"The red eyed man is Uchiha Itachi. The fish face is Kisame," he informed. Uchiha? Uchiha…That name, it sounded so familiar.

"Ucheeha Itameh and Kisachee?" I said confused.

"Uchiha ItaCHI and KisaME. Ok?"

"Ucheeha Itacheee and Kisameh, right?" I said after slapping my forehead.

"Yes."

"Ok." It stayed silent for awhile after that. I looked back at the sky. Where am I? I am Aki and I'm 12, my parent's are dead and so I'm an orphan, is all I know. Who are my parents? Who are these guys? Where's the Leaf Village? Why am I asking myself all these questions when I already know that I cannot answer them? I honestly do not know! So let's get back to reality shall we?

"Aki!"

"Huh, wha?" I said, confused but back in reality.

"We were losing you," Deidara said. Losing me? What the hell does he mean by that?

"What do you mean?"

"You were hypnotizing yourself and falling asleep." I can do that? No wonder it felt so dreamy looking up at the sky. I wonder what else I can do.

We were nearing a building out in the middle of nowhere. Does anyone even know this place is here? Besides these people?

"This is our headquarters, do not dare tell anyone about it," the one known as Uchiha Itachi stated, not looking at me. I'm starting to hate that guy, so self-centered sheesh. And that other guy, well not really guy but…SHARK MAN. Yup. What was up with that large thing all wrapped up on his back? It was close enough to reach, my hand instinctively went out to touch it, a centimeter away…

"Don't touch that!" Deidara said snatching my arm. Then to my own hearing, well, I think it was my own, he whispered, "You're going to die like that little girl." I gulped and stared at the object. His hands drew back from my arms quickly yet again. It made me wonder what was wrong with that.

Finally at the bottom of the building, I had never realized how large it was. Maybe two or three stories high, from afar it looked like a little hut. We stepped in, the warm air blasted to my face and warmed me up immediately. I tried to get Deidara to release me, but his hold wouldn't loosen.

"Let me go," I said running forward in my place, not making it anywhere.

"No, we can't have you running around or else we'd get in trouble," he stated, his hands clutched into fists as he held me tighter so I wouldn't get loose. "Eugh, Itachi, you hold her!" he pushed me hard, but somewhat gently, to Itachi. The way he sounded, it was as if something disgusted him or something. Itachi immediately grabbed me and held me in place.

"You struggle, you die," he just said. Eh..Meanie. You don't have to be so straight forward with an innocent 12 year old, you're going to damage the way my mind will think. Then I'm going to have problems in my life because of that way my mind thinks. I sighed and stood silently and looked around. A room, a large table in the middle of the room with lots of papers on it and had many chairs circled around it. A set of stairs in the corner, leading to who knows where. A clock ticked slowly on the wall, tick tick tick tick. There were plants around the place and a few couches here and there. Like a living room, the only thing standing out was the table...and a very large plant.

"Itachi," I began, he looked at me, "can I touch that plant? It looks..weird." Shark man let out a small chuckle and Itachi let go of me. Deidara just stayed silent and walked to a chair and watched me. I felt like a science experiment, being observed and watched every single second.

I stepped to the plant and reached for it's huge leaf. The second I touched it, a voice called out to me.

"WHO IS THIS GIRL? TRYING TO TOUCH ME LIKE THAT!!??" I screamed once the plant opened, revealing the source of the voice. A man's head popped in the center of the leaves, well, I think it was a man. Half of his face was black and the other was white. I snickered silently in my head.

"S-sorry Mr. plant man sir," I stuttered, terrified. Kisame and Itachi were snickering, I could hear that. Deidara was silent, I wonder why, was he even still there?

"Whatever kid, just don't touch me again," he stated, this is very awkward. My screaming ceased, replaced by more curiosity.

"What's your name?" I asked him, curious. He eyed me, scary people these men are.

"Zetsu, no plant man, no Mr. plant man, no…" blahblahblahblahblahblahah, I droned out his voice in my mind. So strict, jeez, he could at least lighten up and let someone at least call him some type of nickname. "Got it?"

"Yeah," I said, thinking. Heh, I haven't even heard half of all of those names. I bet I'm going to mess up and call him something someday. I turned around towards the trio, while 'plant man' went somewhere more peaceful. Itachi was staring at the ceiling, Kisame was feeding the fish in the fishtank in the corner of the room, Deidara…wait, how'd that fishtank get there? Oh, well, no need to ask, I bet shark man just poofed it out of nowhere. Deidara was nowhere to be found? I looked at where he was sitting earlier, nope, not there.

I looked at the ceiling, what the heck is Itachi staring at? Deidara suddenly came down from the stairs that second, and I ran over to him.

"Who's is that?" I said, pointing at the black cloak around his arm. Wait, didn't they say they were going to give me one? I don't even get the point of wearing those things, but they are quite warm.

"Yours," Deidara said putting it over my shoulders and I slid my arms through the sleeves. It did feel warm, I hugged myself. My own cloak thingy for this weird organization. That's what I figured so far. They were an organization, who's headquarters were top secret and in the middle of nowhere, who's organization wears black coats with red clouds, and that their group was filled with a bunch of weirdos and if not weirdos, then they just act weird. Such, from what I know, like Deidara.

He was holding on to a piece of paper in his other hand. "They're out on business," he said, clutching the paper, merely crumpling it.

"So we came all this way just to have them ditch us in the end?" Kisame said. What are these men talking about?

"Basically, yea," Deidara replied, tossing the paper to Itachi, who caught it in a flash. He read through it and looked at us all.

"We have to BABYSIT her?" I pouted to myself, babysit? Babysit wasn't the right word, it should be watch over me. Itachi has a serious problem with kids; I wonder if he had any siblings, jeez do I feel sorry for them.

My arms hung at my side, the sleeves a little bit longer than I had expected. My mouth was hidden beneath a part of the coat I had used to hide my pout, but now I put it back to normal.

A few minutes passed with me sitting on the couch, Itachi walking about, Deidara sitting next to me, and Kisame was upstairs I believe. And Zucchini was somewhere, I have no clue where. Yes, that's a better name for Zetsu, Zucchini. Zucchini is so much more fun to say.

This chapter doesn't make sense in some places, I know XD. Don't you agree we should all call Zetsu Zucchini from now on?!? XD This story sucks so far, Kasumi I don't care what you say because it sucks lol. Oh, and by the way this is like in some way, before Shippuuden. So, I dubbed Deidara somehow 15 or 16 while Aki is 12 here still. I don't know really XD, but that was sort of the age range I was thinking. I didn't want Deidara to seem like some blonde pedo out to get little girls. R&R please.
