The two walked silently through the hallways, slowly approaching the main room. Neither of them talked, nor did they need to. They just walked, turning every so often. Finally they stopped in front of a large door. They stood there for a while, silently conversing, contemplating. The door, almost like it was tired of waiting, slowly slid open. Allowing the two to enter.
Inside everything was perfectly still. Most of the Akatsuki was seated on the numerous couches and chairs that littered the room. The two groups regarded each other with a sense of indecision. Suddenly someone launched a fireball jutsu at the two figures in the doorway. They jumped out of the way easily, landing a few steps away. The blue-eyed one grabbed onto a handle on her back, but the other stopped her.
"Now's not the time." She said firmly. Reluctantly the she lowered her hand.
"We mean no harm. We would just like to talk to your leader. Please take us to him." The first one said, showing her palms as a sign a peace. Zetsu and Itachi stood up. They escorted them to a door, no different from the others and knocked.
"What?" Came the call from the other side.
"We have guests. They would like to speak with you." Announced Zetsu.
" Grumble Well let them in." Zetsu opened the door and motioned for the girls to enter. They walked in and sat down. Zetsu walked up to the leader and whispered something in his ear.
"Oh, really? How interesting." He mumbled. "Ok, you can go." Zetsu and Itachi left the room and the leader turned to them. The one with blue eyes was, indeed, in her teens. She had medium blue-green hair, to match. She was wearing a torn v-neck t-shirt with a tubetop underneath and blue pants that flared out at the end. The other had long brown hair with red highlights, along with fiery red eyes. She was wearing a ripped double-layer tubetop with a ripped skirt that angled diagonally. She also had orangey-red cat ears and tail. What an odd pair.
"Would either of you like to tell me who you are and why you're here?" The pair glanced at each other.
"I'm Ryuko." Started the blue haired girl.
"And I'm Hitori." Continued the other.
"And we would like to become apprentices of the Akatsuki!" They both concluded.
The leader was taken aback by this last phrase. Nobody ever wanted to be an apprentice to an organization of criminals. He thought about it for a while. He need to make sure they were strong enough, and that they were serious. He came to a conclusion.
"We'll apprentice you if you can defeat one of our members."
"You will find that your guard has been knocked unconscious, by Ryuko's doing. When he wakes, he will tell you himself." This statement was like a blow to the Leader. It' took a lot to defeat Deidara. Just who were these girls?
"I will confirm that. If it is true you can settle down immediately." He stood up and walked out, the girls following his example. He called to Zetsu and talked to him. Zetsu nodded and disappeared. A few minutes later he returned. He whispered to the leader, who nodded.
"Ok, please notify the others." He said, then turning to the girls. "Let's get you a room."
