A/N: It's a longer chapter! Yay. Okay but before you read, I have a confession … I suck at writing fight/battle scenes and there is a fight/battle scene or two in this chapter, so gomen, I hope it's at least decent! And a warning for those who may not like swearing, there is a little more swearing in this chapter, but it's not too bad. I don't think there is anything confusing in this chapter either … but I did write it, so maybe it's just me. If you have questions, ask! Um … R&R and flame if you feel the need to.

Disclaimer: For this disclaimer, I am going to get help from a friend of a friend, Itachi my man!
Itachi: I'm not doing it.
Me: Why the hell not. It's not going to hurt; it's only five simple words!
Itachi: No.
Me: Why not?
Itachi: I'm not in this story as much as I want to be.
Me: You have got to be kidding me! You are like the second main character! You will be in it next chapter and the one after that and so on.
Itachi: Yeah, I already know what happens, we get into an-
Me: OKAY! Don't pay any attention to Itachi! I'll say the stupid disclaimer for damn's sake! I do not own Naruto!

"Some say that in order to find out why you lived, one must die." - Naruto Magna

I heard the rain fall and thought it was the perfect weather because I felt as gloomy as it was outside. After that day, I hated rain.

I bolted into the sitting position with a tear coming down my face. That stupid dream, it never left me alone. I had the same dream every night after my dad died for about three months; it was always how he died and it never left out a single detail. The dreams slowly disappeared, but every once in a while I would have the dream and I would wake up crying.

'Kate, I know that the dream is painful, but you need to get your head back on track. You are in Itachi's room right now and he should be coming back any time now.'

'I know.' I said getting up making my way toward the bathroom to take a shower. After my short shower I walked out with the same clothes on and sat on his bed.

'Okay, so if I can't escape and I have no chakra that I can use at the moment, what the hell can I do?'

'You can try to behave yourself. They are Akatsuki you know.'

'Yeah I know, but what are they going to with me? I have no use to them!'

'They may find a use for you. I would behave if I were you. I wouldn't want to make them mad, if you haven't noticed, they are short tempered.'

I was about to answer Tae, but Itachi walked in. I stared at him and he walked closer to me. I raised an eyebrow.

"Follow me."

"Why?" I asked not moving. Itachi glared at me as he now stood in front of me.

"You can come willingly or I can make you, painfully." I said nothing as I stood and glared at him.

"Hn." Was what he said as he started to walk out of the room with me following.

'Tae, do you know where we are going?'

'Yes Kate I do. Make sure you don't show them you have me inside you and that you don't make them mad.'

'What the hell is that supposed to mean and how is that supposed to help me?' I yelled at Tae, but Tae didn't reply. I decided to glare a hole into Itachi's back as we walked. He didn't seem to notice as we walked into a room that looked like … a training room?

"Finally! What took you so long, un?" Deidara asked. Itachi didn't answer as we walked toward Deidara, Kisame, Tobi, and Pein. So this is what Tae was talking about. 'Great.'

"You are here so we can figure out if you have the chakra that Kisame says you do and if you can use it. Once we see if you have power, we can figure out how and why you were summoned here." Pein said.

"Uh- huh, problem. I have never used chakra and I don't even know how to use it, so how in the hell are you guys going to test your guys' theory?" I asked glaring at everyone.

"We'll see about that, un" Deidara said. 'What the hell does that mean!'

'Okay, Kate. You will have to listen and listen well. I have a feeling they, or one of them, are going to attack you to see if you are useful, so you will have to either let me take over and expose us or you can run like hell. If you get into trouble, I will interfere and then we will be known, so be careful.'

"Shit." I said out loud on accident. Kisame started to walk toward me as the other members stood by the wall and watched. I backed away slowly as we walked toward me.

"You can't escape me girly." He started to walk toward me faster and I decided I could either run or get killed; I ran. I turned and ran toward the trees, but not being a ninja, I didn't get far before Kisame was in front of me with a grin on his face.

"Told you." He said as he swung his sword, I ducked and ran, but everywhere I tried to run, he was there. I had nowhere to go. I stopped running and turned around and glared at him.

"How the hell is this fair! You are a S-class criminal and I'm not! I'm not even a fucking ninja!"

"Life is unfair. Now you can either fight back with the chakra I feel in you or you can die and we move on with our mission. Your choice." Kisame said walking toward me again.

'Tae, I can't die and leave my mom alone. I need to fight back. Help me.'

'Alright Kate, I will. I am going to tell you what to do, all you have to do is listen and I will make it work. Close your eyes and concentrate and the warm feeling in your blood.'

I closed my eyes and brought my hand together like ninjas always do when they are doing jutsus. Kisame stopped and the other Akatsuki members stood alert.

"What is she doing? Tobi thought she didn't know how to use chakra." Tobi said uncertainly.

"This is getting interesting, un." Deidara said as Pein and Itachi stayed focused on Kisame and Kate.

'Alright Tae, I can feel something, what next?'

'Continue concentrating on your chakra. In a moment you will be able to see me in you mind.'

I continued to focus when I felt a pull. I opened my eyes to find myself in a dark room in front of a cage about twenty feet wide and tall. That's when I saw Tae; he was beautiful. He looked like a white tiger, but with four tails. His eyes were blue with a black star in them. He stood about eleven feet in the air and was sitting staring at me.

'Well done Kate. I am going to give you a quick over view on chakra and how to use it. With my chakra, you will be able to use your chakra more easily.' Tae explained the hand motions and the breathing and the movements that had to deal with chakra control and he showed me a few jutsus. He also told me that I could use the element of fire and water. A weird mix of elements, but it would come in handy if I ever needed to use them. Afterwards, I opened my eyes and glared at Kisame. He had frozen and so had the other Akatsuki members.

"Well, would you look at that, you have chakra. Now this is going to get interesting." Kisame said running at me. I didn't move until he was close to me. I disappeared, no, I puffed into crows. The Akatsuki members now were walking toward Kisame.

"Well, well, would you look at that. The brat has skill." Kisame said. I heard them from up a tree about two yards to their left.

"What are we going to do Leader-sama, un?" Deidara asked.

"Go get her Itachi." Pein said and Itachi puffed. The next thing I knew I felt his chakra behind me. I spun around to glare at him and he glared back. I didn't move as he walked toward me.

"Like hell I am going back there." I said crossing my arms.

"You have lied. You know how to use chakra and the chakra you have is that of a jinchuuriki. You will go back there." Itachi said as he stopped in front of me. I glared and looked up at him. I turned around and walked toward the middle of the room where the other Akatsuki members were deciding that I didn't want him to use his Mangekyo Sharingan on me again.

'Ha, Itachi you know nothing, but I have a bad feeling about this.'

"Explain yourself." Said Pein looking pissed.

"I don't know what to tell you, honestly. I didn't know how to use chakra, then suddenly I did. I'm as confused as you guys are." I said looking around at them. By the looks on their faces, they didn't believe me.

"Tobi thinks that she's lying to us. Tobi felt a looooottt of chakra radiating off of her … like a jinchuuriki." Tobi said looking at me. 'I'm going to kill you Madara!'

"Tobi has a point. Her chakra level was pretty strong and Samehada was intrigued by it. She's not telling us something." Kisame said.

"I say we attack her and see if she can handle it, un."

"Enough. Deidara, take her to the interrogation room. The rest of you have things to do. Itachi, wait a minute." Pein said. Deidara started to walk toward me and I glared. 'Shit, more torture.'

"Follow me, yeah." Deidara said as he led me out of the room.

'Tae, I have a bad feeling about this.'

'Kate, I know Itachi and Pein have figured it out. The only way to survive this is to help them.'

'Excuse me? Help a criminal organization take over the world was not what I planned on!'

'I know, but do you want them to take me out of you and you die or do you want to go take your Chemistry test and see you mom and friends again? It's the only way. Now, I'm guessing that Itachi is going to interrogate you again, so be strong and don't fight back if you can help it.'

'Easy for you to say! I want the hell out of here… fine, I'll do what I can to make it out of here.'

I continued to follow Deidara until we cam upon a door that was wood and very old looking. Deidara opened the door and led me inside. It was completely dark. I turned around to say what the hell to Deidara, but he closed the door, leaving me in darkness. 'Great.' I stayed still looking around me hoping my eyes would adjust; they didn't.

"Is anyone there! This is getting annoying!" I yelled to the darkness hoping that someone was coming. I was about to yell again, then I heard a noise to my right. I turned to look, but I couldn't see anything. 'Okay…' Then the sound was behind me, but nothing was there.

"What the hell? If you have questions, then ask them and stop trying to fucking scare me!" I yelled. I heard the noise again, but this time it was right next to me. I turned to see purple eyes. 'Shit.' The next thing I knew, my back was against the wall and a kunai was to my throat.

"Now, I will ask you some questions and you will answer them honestly." Pein said. I couldn't speak even if I wanted to; the kunai was pressed too hard, so I merely nodded.

"Good, now, where did your chakra come from?"

'Tae?'

'Tell him.'

"His name is Tae and he's a jinchuuriki."

"And you didn't tell us before now?"

"I didn't know about him until after I talked to you and even if I did know, I know what you would, can, do to me and thus, me dying."

"What type of elements can you use?"

"Fire."

"And?"

"Water."

"Really? That's interesting. Now, how did you just now figure out that you have a jinchuuriki inside you?"

"I don't know."

"Not good enough." Pein threw me into the wall across from us and then pulled me up by my neck and put a kunai in my left shoulder. 'Ouch.'

"Now, the truth."

"I DON'T KNOW. I always felt something in me, but I never could use chakra. I don't know why I can use chakra now, I really don't."

"Where are you from?"

'Should I tell him? Or at least lie a little.'

'Tell him, but not everything. Improvise a bit.'

"I'm not from here. I'm from a different … country. The village I live in doesn't have ninjas nor do people even talk about them."

"And where is you village located?"

"Why would I tell you? For all I know, you'll raid it and kill everyone I know!" My shoulder got stabbed again.

"Tell me."

"Kanagawa, it's in the Lighting Country."

"Very well, you will stay with Itachi until we extract the jinchuuriki from you." Pein said as he let go of me; I slid to the ground holding my shoulder. Pein started to walk out.

'Great, I'm going to die!' I thought as Itachi came inside the dark room. I slowly got up and walked toward Itachi. I followed him to his room and I collapsed on his bed. 'Ow.'

"Sit up." 'Huh?' I looked at him and saw bandages. I slowly sat up and she wrapped my shoulder.

"Why the hell do you care about a little wound if I'm going to die anyway?" I asked glaring at him. He glared back and finished wrapping my shoulder without answering.

"You know, you aren't a monster for what you did." I said standing up and walking to look out his window. It was winter where they were and the trees were covered in snow, it was a lovely site to see.

That was a pretty long-ish chapter, ne? I hope so! I felt like uploading another chapter because I am soo bored, I just might upload another chapter because I am bored to death. I hope it's good so far! Um...yeah. R&R and flame if you really feel like it, I won't stop you. Sayonara readers ^_^
