Clearer and Brighter
A/N: Hiyas! Enjoy this chappie! :)
"You said what!?" Akira exclaimed. She was surprised for a while then thought about why. Itachi, that hypocrite! Akatsuki wanted her for the jutsu! She decided to play their game then if they want the jutsu, then she'll run away. And hopefully, make it out alive!
"I said that you will join us temporarily. Is that clear, Katou Akira?"
Pein stood up and paced around the cold stony room.
"Konoha and Akatsuki have made a temporary alliance to keep the Katou children away from Orochimaru. The reason is that if he were to get his hands on any one of you, he would be a threat to both of us. The truce lasts until all of you turn fifteen. Katou Natsumi is twelve, Katou Isamu is fourteen and Katou Daisuke is sixteen.
Now, you are nine years old because the portal didn't work as smoothly and we would have to perform another jutsu if you would like to go back to your original age."
Oh, so it wasn't the jutsu…hehe… Akira nodded to show that she would like the jutsu done. Leader-sama continued to talk.
"Good, that would be done after dinner. Itachi had the jutsu performed before so he is now his original age – sixteen. You will always have to be on the move between two safe houses – here and Konoha. Daisuke-kun is here at the moment and Natsumi-chan is at Konoha. Itachi-san says that he knows of another place where you could stay; Isamu-kun is there now. "
Soon, dinner was finished and it was time to perform the jutsu. Konan painted a few kanji on Akira's arms and legs and placed a hand on her head.
"You might want a towel or something…"
She felt something run through her body then blue chakra started to appear around her like a bubble. Her clothes became smaller and a towel was handed to her. Suddenly, her clothes disintegrated and she grasped the towel around her cold body. 'Lucky it's only Konan-san and me in here…' Akira thought. Konan gave her a T-shirt and pants and she quickly dressed in them.
Akira took a glance in the mirror and nothing much had changed from when she was teleported. There was one thing though; her hair was much longer then when she last felt it. Now it went down to her mid-back. She never had long hair before so this was different. And, her bangs were longer – she asked Konan for a knife and cut them back to its original length. She tied her hair up into a ponytail and walked over to the library… I heard Kakuzu talking about it so might as well check it out!
~Five Minutes Later~ Akira's POV
"Gah!" I exclaimed, frustrated that I couldn't find anything. I randomly opened a door. Everything inside was so neat and tidy; unlike my room at home… My eyes widened at the sight of a small picture. It was of Itachi and Sasuke with a cat in Sasuke's hand. Itachi couldn't have been any more than nine years old at the time. I smiled while thinking of the several hours I had spent in her home universe watching all of these fillers of the Uchiha family before the massacre. They were always cute and fluffy and the episodes always ended on a happy note. Well, that was until they reverted back to the actual storyline, then it was all gore and fighting and war.
"What are you doing?"
That snapped me out of my thoughts. I turned around and saw Itachi standing there in the doorway.
"Uhh…"
I had trouble thinking of a good enough reason of why I was looking through his things.
"Um…I was looking for the library,"
Well, that was true…
"Then I opened a random door."
That was true as well…
"Then a KITTY was looking at me and I glared back. So I went over to it and-"
Technically, it was a kitty in a PHOTO! Ha! I'm sneaky with words! And I swear it was looking at me weirdly…like a pedo-kitty… ugh…
"Where's the kitty?" Itachi asked.
I held out the photo and showed him.
"See…! I WAS NOT lying!"
He sighed and took the photo from my hands.
"The library is just straight ahead, follow the hallway to the very end then open the door on the left. Don't enter my room again."
Wow, he was slightly pissed… never seen a pissed Itachi before… I don't think I want to again!
Anyways, when I arrived at the library, I saw a guy that had unruly black hair and wore a black T-shirt. He seemed to be reading a book.
"Excuse me, but who are you?" I asked. I received no response so I poked him repeatedly. In the forehead! Haha that was funny! Thing is, he STILL didn't respond! Oh, he's probably asleep… I rolled him over and a huge puddle of drool was leaking down his chin. Yep, I was right! The book was still open and I took a look through it. Hm…what's tha- gah! I covered my eyes and washed my mind with mind-purifier-soap! Oh, my eyes! I closed the book and the cover read: Icha Icha Paradise – Picture Book Edition. Oh crap…
I decided to shake him awake. "WAKE THE HELL UP!" I exclaimed. He was still asleep. Seriously, I would have thought that he would've woken up by now. What a heavy sleeper… I looked around the huge library. It had so many shelves of books to last an entire lifetime for an avid reader like me. I gawked at a book I saw on another table. The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi was written on the cover. Wasn't that the book Jiraiya wrote? I had a flick through the book and found it extremely interesting. After feeling slightly tired, I got up in a final attempt to wake the guy up. I took out an air horn and honked it. Goodness, I hoped the room had sound-muffling walls!
HOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKK!
The guy finally got up and his eyes darted around looking for something suspicious. I giggled and pointed. Sure, that was impolite, but it was hilarious!
"What? Who's there – show yourself!" he said, pulling out a kunai.
I giggled a bit more and clutched my stomach. "It's just me, doofus!"
"Who are you?" he asked.
"That's the same question I've been asking you for the last, say, I don't know, five minutes?" I answered, putting the air horn away in my pocket, "I'm Katou Akira, by the way."
His face broke out into a grin.
"Baby sis!" he exclaimed, pulling me into a hug. I returned it and laughed a little.
"Let me guess, you're Katou Daisuke-san, aren't you?" I questioned. He nodded.
"Just call me nii-chan," he grinned, letting me go.
We walked back to the bedrooms (Daisuke led the way so i wouldn't get lost again), chatting the entire way. We parted ways to go to bed. I looked around my room. It was slightly bland. I'll probably decorate it later. I laid myself on the futon and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
