Chapter 4 ~
I should've woken up with a smile on my face. I should've woken up in my bedroom and realised that all this was a weird dream. This was where I was wrong. I most definitely did NOT wake up with a smile on my face – nightmares shook me like a boat in a storm last night. And, this was all real… That's not bad, but it isn't good either.
By now, I could have been murdered, mutilated, become a test subject, poisoned, genjutsued until I died, taken five kunais in the heart, destroyed by some random rogue ninja or kidnapped. Wait, the last one already happened. May I add that I was kidnapped by an organisation of S-class criminals all armed with an arsenal of weapons and/or jutsu at their hands?
So at the moment, my chances of escaping are extremely slim. But do I even want to escape? I mean, I just found out that I had an older brother that hasn't seen me for at most, eleven years. I don't want to just leave him and also, Akatsuki has made an alliance with Konoha, but that only lasts until I turn fifteen. That is only four years away.
Anyways, back to the present, I woke up and instantly went over to my brother, Daisuke's room. He wasn't there… So, I walked in circles in an attempt to find him until I bumped into Sasori – a grumpy one that is carrying a possibly poisonous vial of poison, I must add – who got pissed so badly.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" I exclaimed.
"Get out of my way, brat," Sasori growled as he…shuffled away.
Looks like a puppet isn't feeling too dandy today… After that rather unpleasant run-in, I decided to run straight ahead to see where that would lead me. Aha! It led me to…
"Akira! What are you doing here! It's dangerous for your mind and innocence!" yelled Konan from behind me.
…an entire room filled with Icha-Icha books… I instantly turned around. Blegh! Who knew the Akatsuki were such perverts! Right now, I'm feeling so sorry for Konan. But then again, she could be a pervert too! Gasp! She's a pervert? I must have said it out loud because she suddenly turned around and frowned.
"What did you say?" she questioned, with an angry tick appearing on the side of her face. Yikes! I gulped and ran off somewhere away from Konan. She followed me through god-knows-where we were at the moment. I ran into someone and I grabbed onto them for dear life.
"Help me! Konan-chan is going to kill someone and that person is me! I'm sorry I called you a pervert!" I yelled into whoever-it-was's shirt.
"Uhh…imouto, you can stop now…" said a familiar voice. I stood back only to see my older brother standing with his hands on his hips.
"Good morning, nii-chan!" I said with a smile. Konan was chuckling behind me.
"Looks like you just forgot what happened didn't you? Don't worry, that was just to mess with you… wait, have I been hanging around Kisame too much?" she gasped and went back to… well don't ask me because I don't know half the place! Heck, I don't even know a quarter of this…hideout thingamabob!
I ended up talking a bit with my bro… okay, it wasn't a bit…
"What's your favourite colour?" I questioned.
"Black," he replied, "What about you?"
"Aquamarine blue, turquoise, sea foam green, lavender purple, sky blue, teal blue—,"
"Gees, I asked for one, not a thousand!" Daisuke exclaimed, "Fine, did you have any crushes?"
"Nope, single all the way!" I grinned, pulling a Rock Lee pose, "You?"
"One, no, there was that one in sixth grade, and the other one in seventh – wait, there were two in that year…and–,"
"Okay, I get it; you've had so many crushes you couldn't count…" I sighed, "Did you go out with any of them?"
"I don't think so… you guys can come out now, just because we can't use chakra, doesn't mean we can't feel it!" he yelled, his head flipping to the direction of the offenders. Kisame and Deidara walked out from behind a pot plant.
"And you too, Hidan!" my brother added.
***Please excuse author as she is not allowed to use swearwords in her household and/or type them either***
The three men were standing there, chuckling.
"Daisuke-san, why didn't you tell us you had crushes? On who?" Kisame snickered. My nii-chan smirked.
"At least I had crushes, who do you have? Yo mama?" My bro and I laughed so much that our stomachs hurt.
Kisame looked ready to murder someone. He took out Samehada and swung it towards us. We ran away from the shinobi – with Daisuke leading of course! He led us into a circular room that I think is probably a bedroom.
Hopefully he won't find us! Please, God of all things anime! Don't let me and my nii-san get killed by a sharky-warky ninja!
"Aha! There are the two brats!"
Humph, a waste of time praying to an anime god…next time I should try Jashin…
"AGHHH! RUNN NII-CHAN!" I yelled out, clawing at the walls. Daisuke pushed a button and a wall of chakra appeared in between us and the shinobi.
"Ha! Didn't you know? Samehada loves chakra!" exclaimed Kisame. This was so childish…
"Seriously! You guys are fighting all because of your stupid 'I have crushes and you don't' kind of thing! And I thought you guys were grown ninja…" I yelled.
"Nah, it's just fun to watch…" said Deidara as he sat down and chomped on some popcorn. [[Did they even have popcorn in those days?]]
"Cool! Popcorn! Yum – can I have some?" I pleaded with puppy-dog eyes.
"Okay! Just don't eat…it…all… what a waste of good popcorn…" sighed Deidara. I contently licked my fingers and gave a 'huh?'
"Alright, what's happening?" Sasori growled, "I'm working and you are disturbing me. So SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU BRATS!"
All of us had an awkward silence moment and stared at each other. Goodness…this was getting on my nerves.
"AWKWARD TURTLE!" I exclaimed, making all of the people in the room look at me weirdly, "What? Someone had to do it!"
Everyone just facepalmed and walked out. My brother and I followed suit and we were called by Zetsu into Leader-sama's office. Itachi as well as Konan were in the room with Leader-sama.
"You two will begin training tomorrow evening. You will go through the basics and will be sent off to Konoha to receive a ranking. Akira, you are at the perfect age to become a genin and Daisuke, you will be put into a chuunin team. Understand?" said Leader-sama.
Daisuke and I nodded and exited the room. My oh-so-nice brother went off into the direction of the Icha-Icha books; leaving me alone…in the hideout…did I say ALONE…yes, I did… So I tried to remember the directions to the library and walked…
Leader-sama's Room ~ 3rd Person POV~
"Itachi-san, do you have any news from Konoha or your hideout about the Katou children?" Leader-sama queried.
"Yes, Natsumi-chan made it to genin level and Isamu-kun is at chuunin level. They are progressing quite well," Itachi stated in a monotone voice.
"Good, do you know of the other two?" said Leader-sama.
"Daisuke-kun has good observation skills and Akira-chan… I have no knowledge on her – except that she was a quick learner in the alternate universe and was of slight high-intelligence," Itachi reported.
In another corner of the room, 'Tobi' was smirking behind his mask. 'Good, they would be of great use when I put my plan into action…' he thought.
