HEY!
I'm almost at 1,000 views, and that's awesome! I love you guys, seriously. You make me happy. Thank you to everyone who has read, reviewed and favorited this. You are the best. Okay, on with the story!
"Well it's about fucking time, bitch! You're coming with us! Kakazu, help me grab this bitch." The silver-haired Akatsuki member yelled. Okay, this dude needs to take a serious chill pill. And he completely over-uses swear words. And bitch? Is that the best he could call me? I've been called worse, honest to Kami.
"There's no fucking way I'd come with you. What did you do to Kakashi?" I growled back, unsheathing my unnamed kunai-sword from my back.
"Relax, bitch. He's only knocked out. Now come with us!" He continued to yell. Oh that's it. Nobody just goes around calling me a bitch for no reason. I mean I haven't even done anything. It's completely unreasonable.
"Fuck you! I'd rather burn myself alive." I bit back, transporting myself behind him, taking a slash at his back.
He dodged, although it was close. He picked up his scythe and swung it at me recklessly. Does this guy even know how to use the scythe properly?
Using my kunai-knife, I blocked his scythe from piercing me. The asshole then pulled the chain connecting the scythe, making it fly back to him. instead of being annoyed which I thought he would be, his crazy-ass laughter broke out.
"Haha! You're pretty good, bitch. But I'm not allowed to kill ya. I'd be fucking killed myself, if I was to kill you. It's not like I can die though, ahaha!" Okay, I've reached a conclusion. This guy is fucking mental. Loopy. Fucked up in the head. Whatever.
Glaring at him, I realised what he had said. They don't want me dead? What do they want then? I thought, confusedly.
"What do you want with me?" I asked, my voice cold and harsh. The silver-haired bastard just raised his eyes, unaffected by my glare which would normally have several Jounin skilled shinobi running for the hills.
"Me?" He replied, taking another swing, this time to my abdomen. "I don't want anything with ya. It's Leader-sama who wants ya. He thinks you'd be a worthy member to our organisation. Stupid if ya ask me, you're just a girl."
Oh that was fucking it. This asshole is so getting pummelled. I wove familiar handsigns, preparing to take this absolute douche-bag down.
"Well you can go back to your damn 'Leader-sama' and tell him thanks, but no fucking thank you! Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" I blew out a large, hot fireball, destroying half of the café. Damn it, it was cozy in here.
Smoke engulfed half of the building, making me unable to see whether my jutsu had been able to make him back off a little. I wouldn't have thought that it would have taken down the crazy Akatsuki member, but at least it sent a clear, precise message.
I heard coughing, and yelling. A profanity of swear words make its way out of crazy-baka's mouth. I could tell he was laying on the floor. I smirked, at least it got him, if only slightly.
"You're troublesome. Leader-sama's going to be pissed." A gruff voice was heard from behind me. I widened my eyebrows, briefly recalling Crazy yell at 'someone' earlier on. Before I had time to retaliate, or even turn around, an accurate blow to the back of my neck had me falling into unconsciousness before I even had time to recall what had happened.
"She's weak." Was the last comment I had heard, before everything had truly went black.
It was silent. Not even the scuttling of mice, or the tweeting of birds were heard. Complete, utter silence. That's how I like waking up, and I would have appreciated the silence if it wasn't for my head killing me, and the fact that I think I may have been kidnapped.
Trying to keep my breathing slow, as if I was asleep, I tried extending my hearing, trying to hear even the faintest of voices. Nothing.
Opening one of my eyes slowly, I took the time to examine the unfamiliar room I was currently taking refuge in. It was dull. The walls were just plain white, and the floor was stone. It was light although there were no windows. Opening the other eye to extend my vision, I realised there was nothing else in this room except the bed I was laying in, and a small night stand - on it perched a small glass of water.
Feeling as though it was safe to sit, and then stand up, I did so slowly, making sure it didn't hurt my head hurt any more than it already did. Wiping my eyes and pushing the dull crimson strands of hair out of the way, I realised I was completely alone. There was nobody.
I frowned, thinking if it was such a good idea keeping a prisoner alone in a bedroom. The door was opposite to the bed. I debated opening it, moving my arm forward to grasp the door handle before stopping mid way and letting it slump back down again. Was this such a good idea? Would it get me killed? Did I even care?
No. I didn't really care much, to be honest. I'm lucky I've survived this long. Most people aren't as lucky. Even though I am alive, I might not be for much longer. Yet I'm not just going to sit here until they come and kill me off, I'm going to go down fighting.
And that means an adventure.
I almost grinned at the thought of adventuring around the Akatsuki base. That was where I was, wasn't it? Ugh, it doesn't even matter. My head hurts, give me a break.
The floor was cold, and I was bare footed. I quietly padded across the cold, stone floor before gently opening the door to prevent it from squeaking.
Outside the door, I was expecting a dark, miserable cave with cobwebs, and scary, scary people giving me glares which could kill.
And I wasn't disappointed, I guess.
It looked as though someone had tried to build a corridor, but had failed miserably. The walls were wonky and the ceiling looked like it would collapse just looking at it. I deduced that it actually was a cave, due to the colour of the walls and the ceiling. They were a deep blue, almost black. And not the pretty kind, the 'I'm hiding a monster' kind of blue/black, if you get me.
There were no people though. It was completely deserted. I almost groaned, annoyed at the thought of not being able to yell at somebody which I was so desperately aching for. Walking down the corridor, my footsteps echoed through it, even though I wasn't wearing shoes. I didn't understand this place. It was cold, dark and creepy. Just like the people who inhabited said cave.
After a few long seconds of walking I came across a door. It was old and wooden, and had obviously been there for a long time. It also looked as if termites had eaten away at the wood for a long time. So all in all, it was a pretty shitty door. But I liked old things, so it looked kind of cool to me.
Pushing the door open gently, I could finally hear voices. It sounded as if someone was arguing. With who though, I wasn't sure. I raised my eyebrow and peaked my head around the door.
...Okay. Let's not do that again.
Pulling my head back I blinked once, twice, then a third time, recalling what I had just seen.
He was half black and half white, and looked like a venus fly trap. Was he having an argument with... himself. Yeah, I seriously had my doubts about this place. Like my survival, for example. My sanity would be another good one.
"Oh look, company." I could hear the plant like thing say to ...himself.
Damn, I had been spotted. Well, it's been a good life. Well it hasn't. Well sort of. It's had its ups and downs.
The plant-man opened the door up this time, spotting me and looking at me curiously.
"And who are you?" He asked 'politely.' Oh damn, so dead. I raised my hand towards my back to grasp my kunai-sword until I realised that the space was empty. Someone had taken my kunai-sword. And I was pissed.
"Me? Oh nobody, just somebody who got fucking kidnapped by some crazy guy and taken here against my will." I replied, harshly. Whoever took my sword is going to die.
"Kitamura Kira, am I right? I should probably take you to Leader-sama and let him know you're awake." I blinked. He knew my name? Ugh, creepy. Hang on a second. What?
"Wait, so you're not going to kill me?" I asked, completely baffled. The plant-man shook his head.
"No. We're under orders from Leader-sama. Although we could just eat you now." Another voice from the same body spoke. I've been here what 10 minutes and things just aren't surprising me any more.
"Aha yeah, I don't think so. Take me to your leader then." I've always wanted to say that. Take me to your leader! As if I was an important hero from some terrible cliché story.
"Follow me." His polite voice was back. We walked down that creepy hallway again, until reaching another passageway, this time with a double door which was much more modern-looking. It was still wooden, but it had none of that worn away shit like the other door did.
The plant fellow pushed the door open and walked in, me closely behind. Inside the room, there was so much noise going on that I wondered how I hadn't heard it when I woke up.
The room was spacious, even with the room occupied with several Akatsuki members. There was a poor excuse for a kitchen on the far left, accompanied with a table. There wasn't anywhere to particularly sit, except a few chairs around the table, and some that you'd find in some dying granny's house placed next to the fireplace on the far right. The fireplace was admittedly fancy, with carved wood around the outside, and a roaring fire, not really doing much to heat the 'cave'.
As I walked slowly behind the plant man, it quietened down slightly. The noise I figured were voices of various Akatsuki members. Looking left then right, I realized that I've never been in a room with stranger people. One was actually blue, and was vaguely familiar from the bingo book. Others just looked scary. I saw the silver haired crazy guy which attacked me before back in the dango café and he grinned weirdly at me, which actually looked more evil than anything.
"Excuse me. Move it." The plant man spoke, trying to get passed the Akatsuki members and to the door the opposite side of the room, grabbing my wrist and dragging me along with him.
"This is Leader-sama's office. Knock and go in there. He'll tell you everything you need to know." Plant-san said politely. I didn't need to be told twice. The stares of the other members were burning holes through my skull. I quickly knocked twice on the door, and entered, glad to be out of sight.
The room I had just entered was darker and colder than the one I had originally woken up in. Directly in front of me sat a small, messy desk, stacks and stacks of paperwork towering higher than me slumped on it. Bits of paper even littered the floor. Behind the desk was a chair. An occupied chair. A chair occupied by an Akatsuki member. The leader, I'm guessing. He had bright, ginger hair and ringed purple eyes. Piercings covered his nose, ears and two under his lips. He was wearing the Akatsuki robe.
Behind him, was a woman. She was very pretty, with lovely blue hair, and deep orange coloured eyes. A small origami flower was sat in her hair. She too had a piercing, but only one. Like the ginger, she was also sporting an Akatsuki cloak, wearing it proudly on her back.
"You've finally awoken. Tell me your name." The ginger spoke deeply, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.
"Kitamura Kira." I spoke, a lot stronger and braver than I actually was. I don't even know why he's asking my name. He should know it anyway.
"Welcome. I am Pein, but you'll call me Leader-sama. You work for us now." Pein said, his ringed eyes boring into my violet ones.
Uh, what. No, I don't think so buddy. I could never sell the Leaf village out like that. Ever.
"No way. I am completely loyal to the Leaf village. I'd rather die than join this damn organisation!" My voice got louder and louder, until I was fully yelling at Pein. He looked completely unaffected by my outburst.
"You'd rather die, hm? That would be a true shame, your skills as a shinobi are remarkable. You should feel honoured that Hidan and Kakazu even bothered to collect you, they're usually so against travelling around. I originally had plans for two of my other members to collect you, but something came up, and so I had to send out others."
What's he doing? He's speaking to me as if I was a member of this organisation already. His low voice already made his tone sound scary, but there was no true killer intent behind it.
"I've told you, no." I wasn't going to change my mind.
"Very well. Konan. Kill her." His voice turned cold, and his eyes shifted to his left, where the blue haired Akatsuki member was standing. She nodded, paper shuriken appearing in her hands. My eyes widened slightly.
These people were way out of my league. And dangerous. Really really dangerous. The thought of my life coming to an end by this organisation brought a frown to my face. What, I was just going to be killed off like some animal who's no longer any use to them? I'd fight, but my chance of survival is probably slim to none.
I could stay here, alive. I mean, I wasn't afraid of death, but I could stay with the Akatsuki for a while. I could gather information about them, gain their trust, and contact the Hokage whenever I next had the chance. Yes, I'd do that. It's do or die here. And I couldn't be killed yet, anyway. I still had asses to kick.
Konan approached me, flicking her paper shuriken at me with a simple flick of her wrists. As if by instinct, I moved my body to the right, by taking a single step, avoiding the oncoming shuriken altogether. She didn't look very surprised that I had avoided them. I guess this isn't the first time that they've tried to persuade somebody to join by attempted murder.
"Eh, hang on a minute! You never said death was involved! I'll join, alright? Just stop flinging sharp objects at me, okay? I don't appreciate that." I grumbled out, straightening myself up, trailing my hands through my messy hair. I think I should just chop it all off honestly, it would be less of a burden that way.
Pein glanced at Konan, then back at me. He nodded, pleased with my decision. Well it wasn't like I really had much of a choice. I thought, grumpily.
"Excellent. Konan, provide her with the necessary uniform and take her to meet the other members. I'll decide what team you can be on once I've grasped your abilities a little better. We shall meet again tomorrow, where you will fight another member. Until then, Kitamura Kira." Pein talked to me not with kindness, but authority. As much as I hated saying this, he was a good leader. If only he wasn't an Akatsuki member.
Konan walked towards the door behind me, suggesting for me to follow. I sighed inwardly and followed her footsteps, turning away from Pein and walking away.
"Oh, and Kira?" I turned back to look at the orange-haired Akatsuki leader.
"If you contact a member of you're village, or inform anybody about us, then we will not hesitate to kill you. So try not to die tomorrow, okay?"
I gave a fake, almost sarcastic smile and nodded, silently fuming in my head. It was almost as if he knew what I was planning to do. No faith, no faith in me whatsoever. Why was I even brought here? I don't belong here, damn it.
Following Konan out the door, we walked back into the spacious room, with all those Akatsuki members in it. I had a feeling Konan was going to introduce me to everybody present, which was the exact opposite of what I wanted. But then again, the exact opposite of what I wanted included being hundreds of miles away, laying in Kakashi's comfy bed in Konoha.
Before Konan even had time to introduce me, the silver haired bastard who had originally captured me casually walked over to me, an arrogant grin on his face.
"Hey, bitch! It seems that the boss didn't kill you off. Does that mean you're part of the Akatsuki now?" He asked eyebrow raised at me.
There was no use in even commenting in the fact that he called me a bitch, or the fact that he was the one who kidnapped me, but if he makes a habit of it, I will hurt this annoying bastard.
I sighed openly this time, deflating my shoulders as much as I can with my guard still up. I nodded silently crossing my arms over my chest almost defensively.
He looked between me and Konan. "That means that there's now two bitches in the Akatsuki! Damn, this place is going to become a joke if we let any more join, I mean-" He didn't get to finish, my fist had already reached his stomach. Even without using any of my chakra for the punch, it still knocked the wind out of him as he flew back a couple of feet and onto the floor.
Roaring laughter reached my ears, courtesy of the other Akatsuki members. I could hear him spluttering nonsense from the floor, cursing me and something about some God.
"That was for kidnapping me. And for calling me a bitch." I spoke, almost apathetically. I was surprised how lifeless my voice actually sounded. I knew that my voice was only like this because I was in the presence of other Akatsuki members, and sounding as scary as they looked was an almost defence mechanism.
"Damn, you! Bitch! I'll get you back, you can count on it that Jashin will have another sacrifice-" I stopped listening to him at this point, turning back to Konan, nodding. Amusement was clear in her eyes, and she chuckled lowly and motioned for me to follow her again.
I followed her into a different room than I had been in originally. It went in the opposite direction, and was at the end of a long, thin hallway. Konan directed me into the room, and as I walked in, she closed the door behind me. She immediately went to the closet which was in the corner of the room. Opening it, there was a long, dark Akatsuki cloak.
"This is what you shall wear from now on, and I'll provide you with an Akatsuki ring tomorrow, after you've been tested on your abilities, is that okay?" Konan said. Her voice was softer than what I had thought it would be. She spoke with no malice in her voice, and it was almost polite.
I nodded. "Thanks, I guess." She just nodded back, giving me a small smile.
"It's late. You should sleep for today, I'll introduce you to the members tomorrow. I'm sure it's been a long day for you. Goodnight." Konan smiled politely at me and turned for the door, leaving and closing it behind her.
I sighed. Again. Well what am I supposed to do now? I laid on the bed, closing my eyes. I'm going to need new clothes, that's for sure. I can't be in Akatsuki whilst wearing the official Konoha attire. I'll ask Konan about it tomorrow. I also remembered my headband. Slowly, I sat up and undid the knot, tying it to my neck. It came loose, and slowly fell off into my lap. I stared at it, hoping it could give me the answers I so desperately searched for.
I can't keep it. But then again, I couldn't just dump it. Placing it on the counter next to my bed, I decided I should deal with it all tomorrow. For now, I should just sleep and focus on gaining enough strength for tomorrow.
And without combing my hair, without finding something comfy to wear or even brushing my teeth, I just laid back, closed my eyes, and slept.
I think I overuse my commas a little, idk. To apologise for the lateness, I made another chapter. Yeah. So I first planned to have Itachi and Kisame capture her, but I changed it to Hidan and Kakazu, because I don't think Kira and Itachi's meeting should be too soon. But ya, I'm making my other chapter now, so it should be up before the end of the night, or maybe another day if I'm lazy. I promise I won't delay it for so long like I have been doing.
Peace~ C:
