Chapter 1- The end

Chapter 2- Mission accomplished

I sat on the roof of Orochimaru's hideout right outside of Suna. I sighed. It had been about six months since I falsely joined Orochimaru for an Akatsuki mission. About two years since I joined the Akatsuki, and about 4 years since Orochimaru had left me in the desert. "Time to go" I said to myself and ran towards Suna. I found Imanao on his roof, as usual. I sat down besides him. He was my best friend since I was a child, and I would have to say goodbye again. At least he wouldn't think I had died this time. He smiled as I sat down next to him. "Nao" I said, smiling at his new nickname I had made for him two weeks before. "I have to go back to the Akatsuki" I finished with a sigh. I placed my hand on my backpack, which contained Orochimaru's scroll, which contained all of his findings.

"No, no you can't!" Imanao said, sounding very upset. I looked up to see a shocked look on his face.

"I'm sorry. I have to. I don't know if we'll ever see each other again. I just want you to know that you are my best friend, and I'll never forget you." I said, my eyes welling up with tears. I hugged him once, and his body went limp as I knocked him out. It would be easier this way. "I love you. I know you can't hear me, but I love you, even if you don't feel the same" I finished, the tears streaming down my face by now. I ran back to the Akatsuki base and entered of my own free will. Itachi and Kisame were in the main room, and I flashed a grin at them. "Hey guys, anything exciting going on??" I asked. Kisame stared wide eyed at me. Did I really look so different? It had only been six months… though I hadn't had me 'Growth spurt' until 3 months ago…. Itachi didn't look so shocked, though his eyes studied me, running over my new figure. I chuckled a bit. Itachi looked back at my face.

"No, nothing is going on here" he said, his voice as calm and collected as before I had left. I shrugged and headed to Pein's office. I knocked at the door.

"What do you want?" a loud, commanding voice answered from the other side. Pein obviously wasn't expecting me to come back so soon. I opened the door, and Pein looked up, shocked. "I didn't think you'd be back this soon…." He said, his voice trailing off. "Did you finish the mission?" he asked, a bit suspicious by now.

I held out Orochimaru's scrolls. "Got 'em" I said. Surprise crossed Pein's face, and he smiled.

"You never seize to surprise me" he finished, shaking his head slowly. "And you changed so much in the past six months…" he finished, eyeing me again.

"Yeah, Kisame just about eye raped me" I said, giggling a bit, even though Pein looked annoyed now. "Oh! No its fine! What do you expect when you put eight single guys and a taken girl with a dangerous boyfriend into one organization?" I said, chuckling a bit. "But, if you would excuse me, I have to change out of this Orochimaru outfit thingy. He has a horrible taste in clothing" I said, flashing a grin and went to my room to change. I headed to my room, and once there I changed out of my other outfit and put on my quarter sleeve netted shirt first, followed by my sleeveless purple belly shirt and my black Capri pants, leaving my Akatsuki cloak. I didn't really like to wear it around the base. I walked out into the hallways, getting eye raped once again by Hidan, Kakuzu, and Deidara. Bakas.

"Hey, it's nice to see you back" I heard a voice from behind me, and turned around and hugged Zetsu, my Akatsuki partner. "Yeah, you look good enough to eat" his black side added. I got annoyed and activated my Byaku-sharingan, an experiment that Orochimaru had come up with. "Whoa, what is that??" Zetsu asked in awe, and I forgot that they hadn't seen it yet.

"Oh, this is my Byaku-Sharingan. It's exactly what it sounds like! A byakugan and a sharingan! My unnatural Kekkei Genkai." I finished with a smirk. "All right, I just came to give you guys the scrolls real quick. I gotta go check on a friend in Suna. I hope he's not to depressed…." I finished, and then shrugged, heading off to Suna.
