Yes! Chapter three, I'm seriously needing a life. I'm so bored lately and the reason is for that is because I'm getting kicked off of the computer(or just loosing interest in it) and I'm not thinking of anything reasonable to draw lately. So be happy for my sister's hard ass and my artist block…well if you like my stories at least.

Oh, and I went over my last two chapters. Good god I made a HUGE mistake! Haha, if you people would read it you would've told me sooner, but oh well. I'm used to just reading my own stories. Thanks though.

Chapter three

The time I left, no, escaped from The Hidden Leaves I felt so much lift off me. I could breathe better and even noticed my movement was much faster. It was like I was born again. Starting a new life. Well I was, and in a matter of years I was going to bring Sasuke with me. He will feel the same relief soon. I promised him.

I kept as far as I could from my ex-village. Trying to keep as much distance away from them, luckily no one found me. For the past two or so years I have been a Missin Nin. And enjoying it as if it was heaven. I could do what I wanted with no 'whatever"Kage telling me to go on stupid missions or people crowding around me telling me or wanting to know about the sudden killing. This was peaceful and easy, my life was completely better!

I had a nice job and a wonderful apartment. It was simple but modern, it kept me happy while I was home.

Thankfully the village I was now in had very few people in it, but it was enormous. No ninjas, not even a Kage, I was relieved. I didn't have to change my appearance, unless I saw ninja's from the Hidden Leaves, then I'd change my form complete and mask my chakra. But still, no suspicious people come to me or anything. I barely even spoke at all, I really didn't mind though.

I had a few days before I went to see Sasuke again. Since he went after Orochimaru we had to change are meetings around slightly. I continued to meet him, of course, but it was much more difficult because Orochimaru liked to move so damn much! But I dealt with it and sucked it up.

I threw down my jacket and continued to talk to myself inwardly. I had finished training for the day and was heading to get more food supplies. Hopefully I won't have to stay out too long. I really wanted to sleep. I had work tomorrow.

Without thinking much of it I started walking into my room and threw off my worn clothes, I just had to get these bloody clothes off and clean myself. I was still bleeding from my forearm and knees. I had practiced until I bleed. I was seeming to do that lately.

I sighed and rinsed off my raw skin and cleaned out the dirt. I looked around my bathroom searching for some wraps.

When finished bandaging myself and dressing I swiftly took my coat and paced down my buildings' stairs.

Shopping was easy and quick, I had gotten everything I had written on my list and was now heading back to my apartment. The bags were cutting off my blood flow in my fingers so I stopped for a second to readjust them in my hands.

Before I could even start walking again I felt something come at me. My senses peeked and I snapped up my head, then darting my eyes towards the object.

The next thing I knew I had my entire body tense, adrenaline flowing rapidity throughout my body. My heart was thumping oddly and my breath was at a halt.

My bags that were in my left hand was now on the ground, milk flowing out on the ground freely and fruits rolling around the ground at my feet.

My eyes were suddenly alert and sharp. I smelt blood, my own blood. It was from my hand.

I stopped there, and searched the area. Nothing suspicious, not even any Chakra. I growled angrily and looked at the heavy object in my hand.

It was a Kunai with a note on it, I felt my body twitch with surprise and shock. All I could think of at the moment was:

Ohh shit! Shit, shit, shiit!

I looked around the area again before I started to pick up my food, then shoved my bloody hand in my pocket. Now I had to go get half of my supplies again! I whined to myself. I had to get more bandages too. I took in a sharp breath then I started back to the market to retrieve the fresh food I needed, again.

LINE

The apartment was quiet and clean, nothing was out of place, that I could see at least. Fully scanning the rooms and searching for type of other note of some kind I had noticed nothing, or no one else has been here but me. I could only smell my scent and I didn't sense anything but my own chakra here.

I rushed over to my counter, forgetting to take off my jacket and shoes. I pulled out the Kunai with the notice still tightly tied to it.

It was pretty sad no one noticed the deadly weapon flying through the crowd. No one even flinched or screamed. It could tell you that these people really didn't pay much attention to their surroundings.

I stared at the Kunai and smelt something. I couldn't make out what it was but it seemed so…well I didn't really know. I just felt alert to this scent, or, or…drawn to it. Even if I touched it I could vividly see the owner of this Kunai hold it his or her self. Then, something clicked in my head.

Maybe it was my killer! Itachi? Wasn't he in the Akatsuki now?

I shook my head and untied the string around the note. I dropped the Kunai and started to read.

Ai,

It's a pleasure to finally meet you, or as I should say watch you.

I rolled my eyes, this person likes to joke.

It's sad to say though you can't see me, and I hope to keep it that way for a while. Until I think it's the write time. And yes, I suppose you're wondering who I am and why you're so important that I had to keep my identity secret to you. Well, it's because I have been told from my leader that he would like you to become an ally to the Akatsuki. We all know you're a Missin Nin and we've been watching you for the past few months. And lucky for me I've been the one that's done most of the surveillance. I have enjoyed watching you, it was been very amusing for me, I hope you don't mind. Oh, don't fret now, I turned away when you were changing and what not. I may be a Akatsuki member but I have manners. I will send to you another time, rest well love.

I was beyond pissed. I was entirely ashamed of myself that I couldn't notice a simple Akatsuki member! How could I have missed him? I would train with the Hokage and I would be able to notice his Chakra! He be as good as the Akatsuki.

I cringed and threw down the note. Kicking the Kunai out of my way and heading towards the kitchen window. I threw it open and popped out my head. from the third story I should be able to get a good look around this place…

But, I still don't sense anything!

Unbelievable, this was insane! Where should I go? Would they turn me in if I don't accept, or if they change their mind about me? Damn it no, calm down Ai. Think and breathe.

So this is a Akatsuki member for sure, most lightly a male. His personality is difficult to pick out just from one little note, so I'll have to wait for more notes to come in before I can take the information I know then do my research. Or can I start on my research now? No no, I'll wait. I need to take my time on this and see what they want with me. However, I would still need to know all I can about the members if they didn't want me anymore. So just a little research would do, nothing hardcore.

I cleared my through as I pulled back from the window frame, keeping the window open; just in case he wanted to send another note.

So much suddenly coming at me, and I had two more days before I went to see Sasuke in the village of the Night. Orochimaru let me see Sasuke whenever I wanted, so I had nothing against him. Unless Sasuke didn't tell him about our meetings. Oh joy, I may have another problem starting to bubble in my hands.

I mad a few mental notes to make sure I wouldn't get easily captured by the Akatsuki: Save up on food, no shopping for a while until I know for at least five days I haven't gotten a note, then I could go out and restock on supplies. No going out for dinner or the training grounds. Yes, do it meant I couldn't leave my apartment at all, expect for the meetings with Sasuke.

For the pass few hours I didn't move from my seat in my kitchen chair. I felt so revealed, so naked almost. I just wasn't used to people watching me, for years I've been in a rock, doing my own thing, until now. The Akatsuki wanted me, or that's what they're thinking about…Hold on!

Wait, now that I'm thinking about it, what would they want with me? I have no special Kekkei Genkai, or some fantastic Genjutsu. Yes, I was working on mastering the Ninjutsu I do have but it's just…one that isn't finished. I still have so much more work on it, at least I think. But still, I had one good Ninjutsu/Genjutsu and I was excellent with Taijutsu. What would they possible want with me?

I promised myself I would ask the next time the Akatsuki member sent me a note. Although, I didn't have enough patients to wait for the next time he would contact me…

I quickly jumped from my chair and stumbled over to my living room. I turned to my desk and searched for a pen and paper. When I finished with my note I threw down the pen and hurried into my bed room, then I shot back to my window. I took my Kunai and hastily stabbed it into the wooden part of my window. I looked around and scanned the area.

"Maybe you'll be able to see this Akatsuki-san." I didn't really know his name, so I settled with that, I know he wouldn't mind.

I already knew that he wouldn't want me knowing his identity yet, so I told myself to pull away from the window and preoccupy myself. So I told myself to go shower, even though I had earlier before I did so. Trying to take as much time as I could.

I was just stepping out of my bathroom to get my clothes, until I heard a thick dink dink. I shot my eyes over to my bedroom door and dropped my clothes. I quickly made my way to the window, while trying not to slip. I was still dripping from my shower.

I felt my body thump roughly when I saw the Akatsuki cloak. But it was only seconds, and I was too interested in the cloak before I let my eyes flicker up to the face. But he had already disappeared. I felt my face burn with anger.

I shoved my head out the window again and screamed.

"You ass hole, just at least tell me which one you are or something!" I could have sworn I heard a even laugh. I ran a hand through my dripping hair and took the Kunai.

I didn't hesitate to pull off the note and read it.

No, you won't know that answer until we figure that out ourselves. And I must apologize, I got a brief glance of you while you were retrieving your clothes, but I promise it will not happen again. I must be more careful, shouldn't I?

I also promise to tell you exactly what we will do with you when we know the answer ourselves so rest well, Love.

I felt a faint blush rush to my face before sighed and began walking back to my bedroom. I think I may have been more embarrassed if I knew who he was. But at this moment, I didn't really care if he saw me nude. I just wanted to know who was actually watching me and what they wanted with me.

Within minutes, I began to ponder if I actually wanted to join the Akatsuki or not. I had answered that question easily. No. Sasuke would be so hurt, because of his brother. He would probably think I had left him. And also the fact that I would be following orders of someone, again.

I continued to brainstorm on anything else that popped in my head, slowly drifting away from the Akatsuki subject, and heading to Sasuke I had started to pack.

"Food, weapons, clothes, and medical items." I think I was set, but I also needed my sleeping bag, I think that was in my storage room. But again, just before I could start towards my living room I heard another dink. But this one was much more louder. I knitted my brows together and started to the window.

"What th-" I was cut off but a hand waving at me, then disappearing.

Good god, what does he want with me…or have they already came to a conclusion?!

I swallowed and slowly moved my hand to the Kunai on the wooden frame while trying to calm my racing blood.
