A/N: Here it is CHAPTER 4! I am watching CSI while doing this, awesome show, but eh. A bit more going on in this chapter, possibly a cliff, depends on how I edit it while typing.

Disclaimer: I do not, in any way shape or form, own Naruto or the Naruto characters. That honor is bestowed upon the genius that Misashi Kishimoto. I only own Tenshi. ENJOY!

The two puppeteers made their way down the hall, talking lightly. They stopped at Sasori's door, which was the closest. Both stood for a few more moments, finishing their conversation.

"Well goodnight, Sasori-San." Tenshi said smiling.

"Goodnight." Sasori replied, and he opened the door, as Tenshi began turning away. As soon as the door was opened, a tall shadowy rain-bow colored figure became visible.

"Sasori, I've been waiting for you." The figure said, making Tenshi stop and turn back around. "Bring your friend with you, Sasori." The puppeteer entered, followed by a confused looking ravenette. "Orochimaru told me you that you were on a date. Might I inquire why? Especially when you're on a mission." The figure said in an icy tone that could've killed. His voice absolutely frightened Tenshi, and she went a little pale. However she recovered, and choked down her fear.

"Hey! I don't know why tongue boy was gossiping! But it wasn't a date." she said annoyed, and stifled the urge to cower at the look sent to her.

"It wasn't?"

"N-no… it was j-just two friends g-grabbing a dango…" Tenshi trailed, looking down at her feet.

"Friend… Sasori?" The shadow asked, quirking a brow.

"Her parents and I grew up together. We were catching up, that's all." Replied the ex Suna-nin, as the figure nodded. "I apologize for making you wait Pein-Sama. It will not happen again." Sasori said, bowing respectfully. Pein turned and saw Tenshi, and Orochimaru having a stare down. The young kunoichi was winning, much to Pein's amusement.

"You, how much do you know?" Pein asked, looking pointedly at Tenshi. "I can't have our information becoming known to the hidden villages."

"Hmm? Oh well not much really. Just that there is an organization with at least five members. And that all of you wear strange hats, and cloaks, but that's it." She said truthfully, looking Pein straight in the eye, fear gone, replaced by annoyance. "And for the record, my name's Tenshi."

"Very well, Tenshi, keep that information to your self." Tenshi nodded, and smiled warmly. Pein looked at her appraisingly, and nodded. "How are your feelings towards your village?" the teen frowned.

"They could stand to be more… pleasant. Why do you ask?"

"You seem genuine, and trustworthy. I was contemplating asking you to become an informant." Pein answered honestly, wanting to watch her reaction, which was shock.

"Well that's random. Well… I suppose I could, I mean my village and I aren't really on good terms. And I don't really care if I betray them…" Tenshi said more to herself, as she thought over the offer. Pein, Sasori, Orochimaru all watched her with interest, as her expressions changed from shock, to thoughtfulness, to affirmation. "Ok, I'll do it."

"Good to here. You will alert me when anything you think would interest us happens." Tenshi nodded. "And keep this whole thing a secret if you would." Tenshi stood up straight, feet shoulders width apart, and gave a toothy grin while saluting.

"Sir, yes, sir!" Pein gave her a look that could have chilled fire. "Don't worry, my lips are sealed." Tenshi said and gave a friendly smile.

"For your sake, I hope they are young lady." The shadowy man threatened subtly. Tenshi frowned somewhat and gave him a 'are you serious?' look.

"I have a name you know… and I don't appreciate being threatened, as tongue boy here found out first hand." The ravenette said.

"Am I to assume, you cut off Orochimaru's tongue?" Pein asked, incredulously.

"Yep, the bastard's lucky I didn't pull out my kugutsu on him. He would have been fillet of snake if I had." Tenshi said, and sent the Sannin a glare that could rival an Uchiha's. Pein looked impressed.

"Well, I better get back to my room; I have to be back tomorrow afternoon. And Sabaku-Sama won't like it if I'm late." With that she bowed. "Good night tongue boy, shadow dude, Sasori-San." She hugged Sasori quickly and left to her room.

"Shadow dude?" Pein asked chuckling. Sasori was staring at the door. "Sasori, keep and eye on her, she will be of use, but she is far too trusting."

"The curse of being a Toshiba…" Sasori muttered shaking his head. Pein's shadow disappeared, and Orochimaru gave the ex Suna-nin an 'all-knowing-smile'. "What?"

"Nothing," answered the snake man. "Nothing at all…"

Tenshi was already awake and preparing to leave, when she heard a knock on the door. Standing up, the young ravenette walked over to the door, and looked through the small peep hole that was built into it. She saw that it was Sasori and 'tongue boy'.

"Sasori-san, good morning. What's up?" Tenshi asked smiling warmly to her new friend.

"I came to give you this." He said holding a small foot long snake.

"A snake?" the teen asked.

"To send messages to the Akatsuki. Leader-Sama wanted you to have a way to contact us, and I thought this would be a good idea. You can give her a message, and she'll disappear and reappear with replies, and messages of our own." The elder puppeteer stated, handing Tenshi the small reptile. Tenshi gave and 'Oh' and took the snake. It was a beautiful, deep shade of violet. And its eyes were white, making it look even more exotic. The creature slithered up her arm, and gently coiled itself around her neck like a necklace, at which it proceeded to nuzzle Tenshi's cheek affectionately.

"It would seem she's taken a liking to you." Orochimaru said from behind Sasori. "Her name is Yuuki, by the way." The Sannin added.

"Yuuki… that's such a pretty name." the ravenette replied, nuzzling the small snake back. "Well, thank you, and say 'Hi' to that leader of yours. I'll see you later." She picked up her bag, and exited the room. Tenshi planted a small kiss on Sasori's cheek, and disappeared.

"What a strange girl…" Sasori commented absently, Orochimaru just smirked.

Tenshi walked up to the gate, on the north side of Sunagakure. There were two guards standing near the entrance, and Tenshi nodded to them as she walked over.

"Tenshi! Hey what's up, how'd your mission go?" asked one of the Jonin as said ravenette, stopped to sign a paper, saying she had entered the village.

"Not much, and the mission was… interesting."

"Interesting how?" said the other Jonin, putting away the papers.

"Oh you know same old, same old really. I just met a few people, nothing spectacular. I mean, Shinobi meet interesting people on missions all the time." She said, waving it off. "Well see you guys later!" With that young kunoichi walked off, into the village, and headed towards the Kage tower to report to the fourth Kazekage.

5 Months Later

"Tenshi, I have a mission for you." The Kazekage stated, turning to face the girl. "Only you can do this." The puppeteer looked at him quizzically. "I want you to assassinate Gaara." Tenshi gasped, and stared at the man in utter shock. Gaara, who was standing outside the door purely by chance, stiffened.

"YOU WANT ME TO WHAT!" she screamed, enraged.

"You're the only one who can get close enough to do it." Sabaku reasoned. He was then thrown against a wall, with a very pissed off kunoichi crushing his throat.

"I won't! I WON"T KILL GAA-KUN!" the ravenette hissed menacingly.

"Either you… do it… or get kicked out…. For….T-treason!" the Kazekage gasped. Tenshi stiffened, and dropped the man on the ground.

"Fine then." With that, Tenshi exited the room, only to look in horror as she saw Gaara standing behind the door. "Gaara…" she whispered, dropping to her knees as she started to cry. "I'm so sorry."

"Why are you sorry Tenshi O Kaa-san?" Gaara asked, giving a small, reassuring smile. Sobbing, she pulled the eight year old into her arms and hugged him tightly.

"I'm so sorry Gaara… I have to… I have to…"
