I pushed down harder, causing a pained shout from the tan ninja. "Try me."

Kakashi seemed to lose his nerve. I could tell he was wheighing his options. He looked from Iruka and I, then to Kisame, and back. He heaived a frustrated sigh and raised his hands in surrender. He looked me in the eye. "Fine. I give up. I'll give up if you let Iruka go."

I thought about his offer. There where one thing that came to mind that could go wrong. I could let Iruka go and he and Kakashi could attack us. I glanced a Kisame. At least I could stop that from happening. I motioned for him to restrain the gray haired ninja. The blue man nodded and grabed him.

A sudden idea sparked in my head. I could just kill them both. That'd make my job even easier. I grined around Ikura's arm, blood seeping from between my jaws. Kakashi looked at me fearfuly.

I moved so fast that no one had time to react. I quickly let go of Ikura's arm and snaped his neck. Moving to Kakashi, I had his neck in my jaws and claws digging into his sholders. The mans eyes glazed over as he breathed a shuddering breath.

I dropped his now limp body and shifted back to human form. Licking the blood from around my mouth, I turned to Kisame.

Kisame looked shocked. "If you, a six-teen year old girl, can cause that much dameage, I'm sure glad your on my side." he said as he tossed me the ring, as he promised.

I slid it onto my ring finger and admired it. Grinning a bloody grin, I looked at Kisame, makeing him shudder. "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Yea. Ok." he muttered, turning on his hell and moving off into the forest.

I followed swiftly behind him. I was extreamly happy. I wonder what the others would think of me?


The Akatsuki hideout was a large cave far into the woods. Kisame lead me inside...strait to a dead end.

"Ummm...Kisame?" I asked.

"Yes?"

"Where is the door?!" I shouted, makeing the walls rattle.

Kisame moved a large rock reviling a stair case leading down. "Hold your horses, kid."

I started down the stairs and Kisame followed, closing the entrance as he did. We walked in silence.

We reached a door. "Ok. As soon as we get there, I have to report to Leader. You can do what you want, just stay out of the celler and Diedara's room..." said the shark man.

I nodded and he let me in and walked off in some random direction. I looked around the room. It was like your average living room, though the walls where rock and nothing matched. I sighed inwardly. They really needed a womans touch. The couch was orange, the love-seat was deep green, one chair was red, and the other was, dare I say it, neon pink. There was a opening that lead to the kitchen and two hall ways, one to the left and one right.

I walked over and looked in the kitchen. At least everything here matched.

There was a loud shout and I found myself on the floor being hugged by none other than Tobi. The kid-like man was extremly hyper today. He talked so fast that I didn't even hear what he said.

"Umm...hi?" I countered.

He continued to chatter at speeds not humanly possible.

"TOBI, ENOUGH!" Shouted a rough sounding voice.

The weight on my back dissapeared as Tobi got up. I got up as well and bushed off my uniform, looking to the one who shouted.

It was Zetzu. I glanced at the large plant around his head. When he looked at me I turned my sites to the ground. He walked away barking a command at Tobi that I ignored.

Tobi walked up to me and gave me a much more gental hug. "Nice to meet you! I'm Tobi!" He said much slower.

I hugged him back. "Nice to meet you too, Tobi! I'm Kayla! The newest member of the Akatsuki." I said proudly. I had quickly grown attched to the masked man.

He giggled and lead me down the left hallway. "I'll show you where your room is. Ok, Kayla-chan?"

I smiled. "Ok!" I liked how nice he was. I had a feeling we were going to be great friends.


My room was fairly simple. The walls where still rock and I had one light fixed into the ceilling. My bed was wooden and had a black blanket with a Akatsuki cloud sewn onto it. There was also a ebony night stand, desk, and wordrobe near the back of the room.

I sighed and layed down face first on the bed. Now that there were no missions, I was board out of my mind. There was a loud knock on my door. I jumped up and answered it. Tobi was standing there and he seemed giddy, bouncing up and down on his toes. "Guess what, Kayla-chan! We get to go on a misson together!"

That brightened my day. "When?"

"Tomarrow. Can I come in?"

"Sure." I moved away from the door to allow him to enter.

He sat on my bed and I sat beside him. "Sooo..." I started, swinging my legs. "What's the mission?"

"A rescue."

"Who are we rescuin'?" I asked.

"Some friends."

I pried for a better answer, but Tobi seemed tightlipped. I gave up after the dozenth try and we chatted about other things. Befor I knew it I had fallen asleep leaning on Tobi's sholder.


The next morning I woke up tucked in my bead, still in my uniform. I got up and streatched, cracking my back in the process.

I walked to the kitchen, mumbling about how I hated mornings. Once there, I browsed through the cabnets tring to locate the cereal. After two empty cabnets, a box of gold fish landing on my head, and a very large spider, I managed to find the Cookie Crisp. Grabing the jug of milk, a bowl, and a spoon, I sat down and started eating.

A few minutes later, Kisame and Tobi entered the kitchen. Kisame muttered a lazy 'Good morning, kid.' and Tobi aready had lots of energy, for he was jumping around the room saying 'Good morning, Kayla-chan!' very loudly.

Zetzu wandered in for a moment and then leaft again, rambling on about how younger people shouldn't be here.

I took him to be an anti-social person with a weird personality and he really didn't seem to like me much.

Something hit me on the side of the head. Hard. I reached up and felt a fork sticking out of the side of my head. I sighed and the others staired. Being immortal had its adavanteges.

"Umm..Kayla-chan?" Tobi studdered.

Kisame pointed to the fork. "You might want to get that fixed..."

I yanked it out and blood squirted out of the wound. "Who threw that damn fork."

Tobi timidly raised his hand. "S-sorry, Kayla-chan. Are you going to die?"

"I most certanly am not! I'm immortal!" I huffed.

Befor eather could answer. Zetzu came back in. "Kayla, Tobi, get going your mission starts now."
