At night…..

Miiri heard chains clinking in the middle of the night, "What the…?" , Miiri opened her eyes, Itachi was undoing the chains. She remembered their proposal.

After a moment, the chains came fell down with a small yelp, and landed on Itachi's chest. Hmmm…this is…weird. But, Itachi's comfy!

Miiri didn't try to move at all, she just stayed there.

Eventually, after maybe five minutes, Itachi stepped back. Bump! "Ow…," Miiri picked herself off the ground. "This ground sucks," Itachi pulled Miiri up and led her to a bedroll.

"Lie down," he said. Miiri did as instructed and laid down in the bedroll. She shifted a little bit, unsure of what to think of this. However, she was grateful not to be chained to the cold wall.

Miiri turned over and closed her eyes. Suddenly, she felt someone get into the roll with her, right behind her. Her eyes opened and she turned her head, fearing the worst, she beholded the figure right behind her, Oh, it's only Itachi….WAIT! ONLY Itachi? WTF?!

Miiri decided it best not to complain, and just try to fall asleep. Not long after Itachi climbed into the roll with her, he moved closer to her. Miiri blushed at this, but didn't say anything.

At what happened next, Miiri was about ready to slap Itachi, but she didn't. Itachi just wrapped his arms around her, his hands were warm.

Miiri was starting to feel somewhat uncomfortable, but Itachi did nothing else, so Miiri relaxed. After a while, she actually felt very comfortable in the criminal's arms, he was warm.

Eventually, Miiri fell asleep.

"Wake up," Miiri knew that voice was Itachi, needing to tie her up, for the third time.

She lifted herself up out of the bedroll and met Itachi's gaze. He seemed fairly happy this morning.

He led her back to the wall and clanked the chains back onto her.

"Does Kisame always sleep this late?", Miiri, strangely enough, liked to ask odd questions.

"It's five-thirty in the morning….", Itachi seemed to be confused.

"I know,"

"………"

"?"

……

After a while Kisame woke up and they were ready to set off.

"Okay, can I walk this time?" , Miiri did not want to be slinged over someone's shoulder nodded and they started walking to their destination.

They walked for about two hours until they reached a large stood in awe, "Do you guys live here?!"

Itachi grabbed her hand and tugged her into the house.

"Hi, Itachi-san and Kisame-san, un!", a blonde girl with long hair and green eyes like Miiri came bouncing down the also wore an Akatsuki cloak .

"Ooooooh, who'd you bring this time, un?", she asked, noticing Miiri.

"Someone. Where's the leader?", Itachi apparently didn't want to talk.

"He's…somewhere here, un…. Also, I'm a guy and my name's Deidara, Tiny, un."

So, he's a guy? And apparently my name is…Tiny now? , Miiri just stood.

"Oh, wanna see something cool, un?", Deidara suddenly made a clay spider appear. Miiri started to whimper.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Deidara," Itachi said.

"Nonesense, un!" Deidara made the spider climb up onto Miiri, her leg, then her face. Miiri was shaking now.

"Ne, ne, ne….." Miiri was whimpering, as the spider just stood on her face.

"Cool, huh, un?"

Miiri was starting to open her mouth, letting out a large earsplitting scream, which leaded to her running around in a circle, "SPIDERSPIDERSPIDERSPIDER!!!! GET IT OFF ME!!!!!!!!!"

Deidara dismissed the spider, Miiri rocking back and forth in a corner, "Miiri, get up," Itachi grabbed her by her collar and led her to a room that had a hardwood floor, a large black screened thing, and a man that had no color in his skin, only pure black.

"Leader," Itachi said, making the man turn around.

"What, Itachi?"

"We want this girl to join, she knocked out Kisame."

"Hmm…interesting…." The man went closer to Miiri, "Is that true?"

Miiri stayed silent for a while, "…… Yes…but, I got no idea what's going on………."

"Itachi wants you to join our rather unique organization, girl."

"Okay…."

Itachi spoke up again, "She also has relations to the Kyuubi and several other important people,"

"Very interesting," The black man seemed rather interested now, "Sure, she can join, just have her work with you guys. I'm in the middle of something now,"

Itachi patted her on the back, "Wha…what just happened?", she stuttered.

"You just joined the Akatsuki, Tiny," Kisame answwered.

"Oh…."

Itachi then told her, "Stay right here, I'll get everyone else so they can meet you."

"Itachi, what'd you call us for this time?", a man with white hair slung back asked, pretty annoyed.

"Yeah, Itachi, if it's to see your new-colored nail polish….", another person remarked, this time a man with bright red hair and brown eyes.

There were several other odd characters until Itachi announced, "This is, Miiri, she's an Akatsuki now, say hi."

Some people stood shocked (in a good way), and then muttered hi.

"Why are they all staring at me like that?", Miiri whispered to Itachi.

"Nevermind that," he replied.

Suddenly, a venus fly trap- looking person stood up, his face was painted black on one side and white on the other, "Hi, my name's ….Zettsu…. X___X", he sat back down.

"Are you a plant?!", Miiri asked, shocked.

"………"

O.o

The others introduced themselves with slight trouble, aside from Deidara and the man with white hair who was named, Hidan.

Miiri was shaking a bit at the shocking , Kisame seemed to have dissapeared somewhere.

"Er….Okay, um…could someone give her some black or purple nailpolish and a cloak?", Itachi asked.

"I'll do it!", Deidara ran to his room and was back in a flash, "Here," he told Miiri, shoving a few containers of black nail polish, a cloak, and a purle, half-fishnetted shirt into her hands.

Miiri's expression changed into a wide grin.

"Right….Anyway, I guess you could stay in my room," Itachi told nodded, somewhat pleased.

"I'll explain other things later, but right now, go get dressed."

Miiri nodded, "Could I have some scissors, though?" Deidara got Miiri a pair of rather large scissors, and she thanked him, disapearing into the room.
