[SASUKE POV]
I watched steadily at the two figures under the tree.
Hopefully, they haven't sensed me yet.
I immediately ran back to the laboratory, eager to give my report.
I walked into the dark room, Sakon following behind.
"I found her." I announced.
I felt Orochimaru smile in the darkness.
"So..?" he asked, motioning me to continue.
"She appears to be joining the Akatsuki. Last time I saw her, she was with that orange-haired bastard," I growled.
"Pein, huh..." Orochimaru whispered.
I heard a shuffle.
"Organize a plan with Team Hebi to get her back. I will join you," he commanded.
I nodded and we stormed out of the room.
This will be the most exciting mission ever.
[PEIN POV]
After about an hour, I finally convinced Aki to go back and train.
I was pretty surprised when Sasori offered to train her, instead of Itachi.
Of course, Deidara wasn't too happy about that.
I went to my room.
I flipped through the charts I kept on a folder.
I raised my eyebrow as I glanced upon Aki's name.
"She's progressing quite well, isn't she?" a voice noted.
"Itachi," I said.
He was right.
Aki was progressing faster than anyone else.
"What do you plan to do with her?" Itachi asked.
"Good question," I smirked.
Itachi might be a bit sensitive, now that he feels as a brother to Aki.
I didn't honestly know what to say.
Pein, you're in a heap of trouble right now.
This one's short too. The next one will be.. IDon'tKnow. ;) Take it as a sort of teaser that the next chapter will be quite... tragic. NO MORE HINTS! :P Reviews, please? :))
