The Kitten Of The Akatsuki

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THE AKATSUKI. I only own Iachi. :D And if I did own the Akatsuki…there'd be chaos. =w=

Regular Character talk

Neoki talking

LAST TIME:

"Wh…who are you?" she hissed. Pein stood up and walked over to her. "We are the Akatsuki…" he stated simply, crossing his arms and glaring at her with his swirly eyes. She glared back at him with her deep sea-blue eyes and could feel his eyes hardening at first, and then softening slowly. "What's your name?" he asked in calm voice.

"My name is Iachi…" she whispered softly, making the boys look up at her soft velvet voice, surprised with how she sounded. This was going to be one hell of a party in the future.

It had been a few days since the Akatsuki had rescued her from her days in a box, as a kitten, and she had thanked them greatly, but apparently, their leader, Pein, had taken one look at her and retreated to his room, making her stay. She sighed as she sat on an old bed in a forgotten room at the way back of the base, swinging her feet softly as she stared at the blank, black walls. 'So…I turn up here after having that…thing implanted in me…after I turn into a fucking cat for heaven's sake!' she thought angrily. A dark voice chuckled deep within her.

"Well well…restless, aren't we, little human?" a voice asked. Iachi stiffened, she had been hearing that voice since they had implanted that…THING…into her. "Stop calling me a thing!" the voice hissed angrily. Iachi gasped and flew forward, landing on the floor as she panicked. "Wh…who are you?! Why can you hear my thoughts?" she called out. "I'm the…THING…you keep talking about," the voice answered simply. "Why are you in my head? Get out!" she growled, digging her hands into her hair and tugging violently, hurting herself. The voice growled in pain as well. "Stupid human! What hurts you hurts me!" it hissed violently, making Iachi's head pound from the harshness of the voice.

"First off…who and what are you?" Iachi asked, giving up and sitting on the creaky bed once more. "My name is Neoki…I am the forgotten twelve-tailed bijuu, I was running free until you showed up and drew me to you, making the stupid Shinobi seal me inside of you," the voice growled as it replayed the memory, making Iachi see it too. "Neoki huh…?" Iachi repeated, fumbling with her shirt in an attempt to amuse herself. "And what is your name, human? If I'm going to be stuck with a pitiful being, I ought to know their name," Neoki huffed loudly, making Iachi glare at the wall. This…bijuu made her so angry for some reason. "My name is Iachi," she growled out. "Iachi…not a very common name, I kinda like it," Neoki smirked, and inside Iachi's mind, she could see flashy cat teeth that were larger than anything she had seen. "Why am I here?" she asked. "How the hell should I know human? I was knocked unconscious until a little while ago." Neoki admitted. Iachi blinked. A demon unconscious? Now that was a funny thought.

"Well…you stopped trying to talk to me when I became a cat…" Iachi blinked coherently, trying to figure out what was going on so far. Suddenly, a knock on her door startled her and she jumped, her back against the wall. "W…what?!" she growled. The door opened to reveal a blonde, girlish looking guy. "Leader-sama wants to see you, un," he said simply, slamming the door back and walking back out. Iachi cursed the heavens, making Neoki cackle in her head. "Feisty little human…I'm going to like you," she became silent after that.

Iachi walked out of her room and saw the blonde waiting patiently for her. Her cat ears suddenly retracted into her head and her tail back into her butt as she got nervous around the man. "Using chakra to conceal your parts, hm?" he smirked and started walking. Iachi growled and easily kept pace with him, glaring daggers at the ground. "Deidara," the man suddenly said after a few seconds of fast-paced walking. "What?" Iachi looked up and saw blue eyes. "I'm Deidara, un," he said again, smirking and walking again, leaving Iachi there, staring at his back dumbfounded, and soon pursuing his disappearing silhouette.

Arriving upon Pein's room, Deidara knocked on it gently, hearing a gruff reply that Iachi couldn't make out through the steel door. Deidara opened it and bowed to Pein, who was sitting behind his desk with an expressionless face. "I was wondering when you were going to get here Deidara," he growled. Deidara smirked. "I was listening to this girl argue with herself, quite amusing, un." Iachi's mouth flew open. He was listening to her?! What a freak! She glared at him and made him smirk once more, he sure liked to smirk. Pein dismissed the blonde and stared at Iachi, who stepped back a bit.

"I had no idea you had a demon inside you, Iachi…" he dragged her name along every syllable, smiling evilly. Iachi gasped softly and slinked away. Pein was suddenly up and grabbed her arm, pushing her against the wall with great force. She got the breath knocked out of her, and felt Pein's rough grip as he grabbed her chin and making her look up at him. "I've never even heard of a twelve-tailed bijuu…yours must be…special?" he whispered harshly. Iachi cowered in his arms and whimpered softly. "I didn't want it inside me…" she whispered softly, making Pein release her chin.

"Nobody ever wants a demon inside them…" he countered, glaring at her. "You do know what the Akatsuki is, don't you?" he crossed his arms. Iachi pressed back up against the wall and sighed. "You hunt jinchurriki, right?" she asked, staring at him sadly. Pein nodded and turned his back to her so that he could stare out a window in his room. "Your bijuu is very odd though…I can't locate anything on it, and there are no similarities between Nekomata and your bijuu…" "Neoki…" Iachi said suddenly. Pein turned to her. "What?" "Her name is Neoki…she told me to tell you that," she repeated. Pein's eyes widened. This was brand new for him!

"You can talk with your bijuu?" he stepped forward to meet Iachi again. "Uh…yeah…I can…" Iachi felt herself stiffen. "So that means…she can take over your body as well…right?" he seemed real interested now. Inside Iachi's head, Neoki scoffed. "This human is getting on my nerves," she growled. Iachi flinched once again at the harshness of Neoki's growl. Pein blinked. "Did Neoki talk to you? Tell me what it said!" he gripped her shoulders tightly. "She…she said that you were getting on her nerves…" Iachi answered. Pein's eye twitched and he pulled away. "A feisty bijuu eh? I don't think we'll be able to extract this anytime soon…" he thought out loud. 'Extract?' Iachi thought, relaxing a bit now that Pein was back behind his desk. 'Maybe I should try and get out…maybe I can run to the next village…' she thought. "Not a good idea, human. That human has other humans around to help him make sure you stay," Neoki said in her mind, making Iachi sigh.

"Well…if that's all you need from me Leader-sama…" she bowed and walked out of the room, hearing a gruff reply that she couldn't make out. She began to sprint down the hall back to her room, back to where she could be at least somewhat safe from these weird men that made her stay, that were interested in the thing inside her. She threw open the door and slammed it shut, locking it, and flopping onto her bed, burying her face into the pillow and smelling in its stale smell. How was she going to get through this? She honestly didn't know.

A/N: Ah, sorry for the wait, I've been busy with There Is No Spoon, lots of people like it, lol. I'm not sure where I'm going with this story, I forgot my original idea a while ago, and I'm just trying to keep the characters in character at this point, hopefully a plot will come to mind that'll make this story more eventful. _
