Chapter 9: Akatsuki

Uchiha Itachi was always a cold and cruel man and everyone knew it. However it wasn't common to know that he had fallen in love and that he still loved that person. For his love's sake Itachi had killed his clan and joined the Akatsuki. He hadn't seen his love since the night of the Uchiha massacre and wished everyday secretly to see his love just to make sure that she was safe. He could clearly remember her eyes and hair but now her face had become blurry. Every night Itachi dreamed of her but just couldn't get her face to his mind. He only knew that when he saw her he would recognize her. There were only seven people who knew about his love but Itachi was sure that none of them knew her identity; except for Sakura maybe. They had promised to keep it as a secret and they kept their promise but they loved to tease him about how the big bad Itachi had fallen in love and sometimes Itachi wondered if he should just tell everyone since he couldn't take it anymore. But he didn't since he knew that he would do that the leader would use her against Itachi and maybe even kill her. Itachi could take anything and do anything but his mind wouldn't be able to stay calm if he saw her getting hurt. If she was hurt the ancient curse in Uchihas would wake up in him.

After Itachi had joined the Akatsuki he had gotten a mission to train the Flowers. He trained them with Sasori but had a quite different way of teaching. Sasori would make the girls think and plan and Itachi made their powers stronger. It wasn't unusual to see the girls all bruised and bloody after their training. Itachi believed in the girls' powers and his training but he wasn't very fond of the girls. Sure he had a hidden soft spot for Sakura and Melanie but it was only since they were there for him when he first came to the Akatsuki. Melanie had stood up for him in front of her uncle and Sakura had fought with her father. They also knew of his love and teased him more than anyone else. Itachi was sure that if it wasn't for his cold and calm mask he would have killed them. Itachi had been furious when the girls had betrayed the Akatsuki and he had been the one to fight with Sakura since her brother was on a mission. He hadn't been happy about fighting his favorite student but he still did. Their fight had been serious and both of them had said things that hurt each other. Sakura had all bruised and bloody and Itachi was sure that he would have killed her if Melanie and Karin hadn't poofed her away. Sometimes Itachi missed Sakura and Melanie's company but he had learned to move on and wished to fight Sakura again. This time he would make sure that Sakura would die a long and painful death.

Hoshigaki Kisame was a creepy fish. Well that was what Sakura said when she was angry with him. Kisame wasn't handsome or cute so he never had anyone. At least that was what everyone thought. Kisame was Itachi's partner and even though he wasn't big Itachi fan he still had respect for the kid. He was strong and killed his own clan. Nobody in the Akatsuki; except Melanie and Ricardo; knew why Kisame had become a missing ninja. Kisame love to brag but he never spoke of his past. He had come to the Akatsuki willingly unlike Deidara who had been forced by Kisame. Kisame had a huge sword and he loved killing which often lead to a fight with his best friend. Sakura didn't appreciate his way of judging and killing and if they were on he same mission Kisame rarely got anything to do since Sakura only glared at him and ordered someone else do the killing. The biggest reason why Sakura didn't like his killing was that he made his victims suffer from blood loss.

Kisame was one of the early members of the Akatsuki and the leader trusted him greatly. He was also one of the people who knew about Itachi's love. It had made him think about his loyalty to the Akatsuki when he was asked to keep it as a secret. The only reason why kept it was Sakura. The girl had begged him and had even promised that she would make sure that he would get many assassination missions if he kept the secret. That and the fact that Melanie promised to try her new jutsu on him if he said a word. So Kisame didn't join on teasing Itachi of his love and he greatly loathed the girl who had Itachi's heart. There was someone else who Kisame also loathed. That person was Damien. He didn't like the man since he often said hurtful words to Sakura who was his best friend even though he rarely showed it. Kisame didn't deny that Damien's words made Sakura train harder and helped her with her training at times but he had also seen Sakura holding a picture of her family and crying. He didn't know where Sakura had gotten the picture but suspected that Melanie had something to do with it. Kisame wasn't very happy with the Akatsuki princess. He thought her as a little sly girl who thought that she knew everything so it brought Kisame great pleasure to keep something from her. Sure Melanie had her moments but usually they fought. Melanie knew about Kisame's loyalty to her uncle and thought him as another cold-blooded murderer. Kisame had probably only two friends. They were Sakura and Deidara. Sure he and Deidara fought often and almost never agreed on anything but he was the only who he could talk with about the Flowers since it was a quite touchy subject with others. Kisame fought often with water and he was skillful fighter. He hadn't taken the true test to the Akatsuki but it was because Melanie only looked at him and said that he looked scary. It had been quite easy to hurt and scare Melanie during their first year but after that Melanie learned few tricks and was able to close her heart. Sometimes Kisame missed the sweet innocent girl who he had first met and who often hid behind Deidara when he was brought to the Akatsuki.

Deidarawas a cute guy with an interesting sense of humor. After his master and role model Sasori had been killed he had to take care of Tobi who was his master's weird student. Deidara didn't enjoy his time with the Akatsuki since he was forcefully brought there. The only times when he was at least somehow happy were when he got to show his art or when he found out something funny about Itachi, Melanie, Sakura or Karin. Deidara had had a criminal career before he came to the Akatsuki even though he was just seven years old. He loved blowing something up and he called it art. His best friend called it disaster. Melanie loved Deidara like he was her brother but at times it looked like she was willing to kill him. It wouldn't have been that easy. Many underestimated Deidara and though he wasn't great at Taijutsu he did know how fight especially from the long distance. Since his opponents underestimated him Deidara often played with them before he killed them. Deidara had often argued with Sasori about his way of fighting and Sasori always complained that he took way too long and that he hated waiting. Deidara had learned to respect his master and he knew that even though Sasori appeared cold to everyone else Deidara knew him better. He knew that Sasori cared for his student Tobi and the Flowers, that Sasori sometimes took excellent care of his puppets and that he treated his puppets like his children. Deidara also knew that Sasori wasn't too fond of Itachi or Kisame and that Sasori had been Rin's helper when she was injured so badly that she wasn't allowed to missions anymore. Deidara saw Rin as his big sister who took care of him and often scolded.

When the subject of the Flowers came up Deidara remember each one of them clearly. He remembered how Kagome loved to draw and wear skirts. She often smiled and was the most responsible of the Flowers. She acted like the big sister to the others. He remembered Rukia's frown. She rarely smiled and if she did she usually gave a little smile. Rukia also wore skirts but when she did she didn't look like lady like Kagome did she looked like a country girl. Then he smiled as he remembered the younger Flowers. There was Karin who was a tomboy and sporty. She rarely wore anything girly and if she did it was because Rukia had forced her to. Karin was quiet but she sure knew how to hit someone. Deidara could still remember the punch she had given him when they fought to leave the Akatsuki. Then there was Sakura. She was delicate but Deidara knew better than annoy her because she had a scary temper. At first Deidara hadn't liked Sakura very much but when he saw her teasing Itachi he started to like her. Sakura was Deidara's partner in teasing Itachi. And lastly there was his best friend. Melanie was quiet but when she was uncomfortable she put a smiling and happy face on. She was like his annoying little sister since she always knew everything and it was difficult to surprise her. She often smirked to him when he tried it. Deidara missed the Flowers dearly since they were the only ones who knew the feeling of being forced to be with the Akatsuki.

Inuzuka Rin was a patient and sweet woman who was a medicnin in the Akatsuki. No one; except Deidara; saw her as an important member but Rin was the only one of the Akatsuki members who knew anything about medicine and she was intelligent. Her role in the Akatsuki seemed unimportant but none of the others would have survived without her. She cooked for them, cleaned the base (this was necessary since the leader had an obsession of keeping it clean; each one of the members should clean it on their turn but never did) and healed them if needed. She came from the Inuzuka clan and she had been an excellent genin when she was in the same team as Uchiha Obito and Hatake Kakashi. She had been so relaxed and easygoing that time. Now she had to make sure that no one knew how much she knew about the Flowers. Because of her clan she had a friend. She was a wolf instead of being dog. The members of her clan had been surprised to see her with a wolf but since Rin had loved the wolf so much they got used to it. She was called Shinju. Shinju was still with Rin but since she didn't like the base she lived in the woods near.

Only Rukia knew why Rin had joined the Akatsuki. Even the leader or Melanie didn't know. Melanie suspected that it had something to do with Konoha. She knew that Rin's teammate Obito had died and after that she had come to her uncle. Melanie respected Rin. She had been almost killed and now she was blind. It wasn't easy for Rin but now she was used to it. Deidara helped her as often as he could but still Rin felt herself lonely. She found herself missing her other teammate Kakashi and often spoke to herself like she was talking to Kakashi. Rin had had a tiny crush on Kakashi when she was a genin and she had been the one to move Obito's eye to Kakashi. After that something happened that made Rin betray her village and clan. No one knew what and Rin attempted to keep it like that. Only thing she knew about her family was that everyone thought that she was dead. Even though her body was never found they still though that Rin was dead and that hurt. Did they think that she was so weak that she couldn't defend herself? Yeah right; she was trained by the Hokage himself and she certainly knew how to trick people. Often Obito had been her victim. Rin hoped that if she ever returned to Konoha there would be someone to welcome her back and introduce her to everyone.

Warten Ricardo was handsome but that was the only good quality in him. He was cruel, mean and a bastard. Sometimes he showed some human in him but there were really rare. Ricardo had killed his own brother and sister-in-law on their 10th anniversary. Everything had gone smoothly but then Melanie saw him. She had screamed and ran to her parents but when they didn't wake up she glared at him. Ricardo had only smirked and taken the girl with them. Then they had left to a new dimension where no one knew anything about them. Ricardo looked for a place that was hidden and big. He found a cave which led to tunnels which led to a big cave underneath the original cave. There were also other smaller cave and now they called them rooms. Ricardo had put immediately a spell around the cave. The spell only let the Akatsuki members enter. After that he and Melanie decorated the caves and panted all the walls black. Then on one day Ricardo started looking for other people like him. The first one was Orochimaru and after him came Kisame. Ricardo knew that his niece didn't enjoy their company but he could careless. Melanie was just a little girl who could do nothing. But he was proved wrong. One day he brought a tortured child to the room where Melanie was. Melanie's eyes got wide and she ran to them. Ricardo threw her to the floor and continued with torturing the child. Suddenly there was a powerful aura around Melanie. She got up, glared at him and then waved her hand. After the wave Ricardo flew to the wall and Melanie calmly went to the child. The child was called Tobi.

Now Ricardo had a great plan which would give him more power than he had ever imagined and he wouldn't let his niece ruin it for him. His plan was working fabulously since none of the Flowers knew about it. Only two months and he would show to this world what it meant to be in the Akatsuki. If and when his plan was done there would be no one who could challenge him.

Hidan had been mean to the Flowers. He didn't understand how any girl could do anything good for the organization since they were useless and weak. He had only taken Karin with him since she had been so amusing. He loved her reactions when he played with her. Their playtimes were rare since the princess didn't actually like that he almost killed her friend. Hidan was quite good-looking at least from woman's point of view but Karin often teased him by claming that the women who said that he was handsome had either never seen a good looking man or they were blind; neither opinion pleased Hidan and he often searched for a woman to say that he was handsome after Karin's teasing. Karin and Hidan really didn't get along but they survived if they had a mission to accomplish. Maybe Hidan didn't want to murder Karin but there was someone who Hidan was extremely willing to kill. That someone was Rukia who had once kicked his ass. Hidan rarely admitted it since he was sure that Rukia had cheated. Rukia's situation wasn't getting any better since she was good friends with Rin who Hidan saw as a weak, useless and annoying woman who couldn't even make good food which wasn't true since Rin was an excellent cook.

Because of his difficult character Hidan didn't get along with others in the Akatsuki except Ricardo and Kakuzu and even with them he got along just because he didn't want to be completely alone. That was his weakness; Hidan could take any injury and insult but genjutsus about his father and brother abounding him were something that he couldn't take. In the Akatsuki Kakuzu was his only friend but he had another friend when he was younger. His friend was surprisingly a girl but different from everyone else. She was strong, witty and sarcastic. She had died in an attack which was made by group of women which was why Hidan hated women so strongly. While Kakuzu was his best friend Hidan respected Ricardo like he was his father or uncle. Hidan knew better than tell everything to his leader but he often gave him hints of things that he wanted to know. Ricardo often reminded him of his language since Hidan cursed loudly and much. And he didn't think that it was well-mannered. Ricardo had been very strict of the manners when his niece lived with the Akatsuki and that was one of the reasons why Hidan didn't like Melanie. Hidan was on Ricardo and Kakuzu's side in the Akatsuki but his main enemy was Damien. Hidan didn't like Damien at all since he had brought Sakura with him. Hidan would always remember that Sakura had looked at him and asked from her brother if Hidan was an ideal man and Damien had looked at him and said that if his little sister would have anything to do with a man like him Damien would kill the man and make sure that Sakura would grow old alone.

Even though Hidan respected Ricardo it didn't mean that he didn't have his own business and missions. Hidan was extremely interested in the history of the Bijuus and he knew that the leader didn't want anyone to read too much about them since it could make them lose their cool. Hidan however had disagreed and he read a lot about the Bijuus. He had learned many things that made his missions and fighting easier. Expect for Melanie, Sakura and Ricardo Hidan probably knew the most about the Bijuus. He had a reason for his research but no one knew what. Hidan often showed off his skills so he was easy to defeat if you knew anything about him.

Kakuzuwas mysterious. That was all that the Flowers knew about him. None of them had ever seen his face and since they didn't know how he looked like they couldn't go asking questions about him. Ricardo knew him and his secrets but no one else knew anything about him. Not even his partner Hidan knew his secrets. Kakuzu often used genjutsu since he didn't want to reveal his fighting style. Once he had fought seriously and let's just say that his opponent didn't look like anything on earth. Kakuzu often did different dimension missions, which was why he was never in the base. He was excellent in gathering information. No one would notice Kakuzu in the same room if he didn't say something and sometimes not even then. That got sometimes to Kakuzu's nerves and the world lost few people if he got angry.

Kakuzu had brought Rukia from one of his missions. On that mission he was supposed to find a key to the heavenly door of the Soul Society. He had done some research and found a family that was supposed to have it. There were five people in the family; a beautiful woman, who had three children (two girls and one boy) and her brother. The family was really close and fun-loving so Kakuzu wasn't sure how to kill them and make it look like an accident. Soon Kakuzu found a chance. The uncle went often to bars to find a woman for himself and that was his weakness. Kakuzu first hired a woman to make him to fall in love with her and then put some poison in to the drinks of the woman and the man. The man's sister was devastated so she almost killed herself but her daughters begged her not to. The family continued on living normally but now Kakuzu noticed how the youngest daughter (who was older than her brother) was starting to see things and mutter something about being crazy. Soon Kakuzu killed the mother and the brother but the girls managed to disappear. Kakuzu went back to the base but Ricardo sent him back since he left some evidence back. Ricardo never spoke about their victims like they were humans. Kakuzu returned to the familiar dimension and looked for the girls. He found the older girl soon but he didn't kill her since she was so fragile and beautiful. That was when Kakuzu found his weakness. When the younger sister found them he killed them together. Then something terrible happened. Kakuzu got sucked into the Soul Society. He saw the younger girl smirking and looking happy. It was like she knew what was happening. Kakuzu saw the portal behind him closing and knew that if he didn't go through it he would die. He quickly made a decision and took the girl with him. The girl's was surprised and when they came to the base she looked at him and told him that her name was Rukia. Kakuzu and Rukia often got into fight about Rukia's sister but Kakuzu didn't miss her or anyone else from the Flowers.

Damienwas oldest Jin alive. He had killed his clan for a reason that was unclear to everyone who hadn't been there that night. Damien loved his little sister dearly and tried his best to train her to be a good kunoichi. Damien was handsome and many girls dreamed about him but no one got close to him. He had built walls around him and he had only let Sakura and Melanie in. Sakura was the closest person to him and that was why no one understood why he had killed his family. Because unlike Itachi who had killed his clan for power Damien had always been free to do whatever he wished to do.

Sakura and Damien were so close when they were children that Sakura had said that she wouldn't get married since she already had her brother as Prince Charming. Damien had been proud of himself since his adorable sister thought that he was better than anyone else. Damien was protective of his sister and didn't believe that there was anyone in the world that was good enough for her. Damien had only brought Sakura to the Akatsuki so she could learn to protect herself and fight for what she believed. Damien didn't agree with Itachi, Sasori or Ricardo about the Flowers's training. However he didn't say anything since Sasori and Ricardo were older than him and Itachi, who was about the same age as him, had powers that he didn't known enough about. Damien couldn't protect his sister from the Akatsuki because he was on missions that were given to him by Ricardo. That was why he hadn't known about the injuries that she got from the training. If he knew he would have probably killed Sasori for hurting her. Damien had been keeping a close eye on Sakura. He knew about her crush on Uchiha Sasuke and he wasn't happy about it. From Damien's point of view Sasuke didn't deserve his sister after leaving her and making her cry. It was quite sure that Damien would kill Sasuke if he met him.

Damien was a loner and that was why he didn't have many friends in the Akatsuki. His partner was Bloody Angel but not even he knew who she was. Damien respected the people in the Akatsuki since they were older than him. He was only 22 years old and knew way too much about life. Damien had seen many things during his missions but he had never visited another dimension. That was because he didn't want to be too far away from Sakura since she could easily get herself into trouble like when she was living with the Akatsuki. She had gone to the near village and she had been arrested for murder. It was quite funny since the man who she was supposedly murdered was alive and well and since Sakura had never killed anyone. That was different now. Damien hadn't protested when he heard that his sister would do an assassination. Damien thought that it would prepare her for life, which was a dangerous place. Damien had never fallen in love but his sister and her friends were always looking for someone. Maybe in the future they would find someone and then take her away from him for revenge. Damien was an excellent fighter and he loved taijutsu.

Tobiwas stupid. Well that was what everyone thought at first when they saw him and heard him to talk about himself like he was another person. Tobi adored his danna who was Deidara. Tobi had lived his whole life with the Akatsuki since Sasori had taken him with him when he left to the Akatsuki. Tobi had seen Sasori as his older brother and he would always remember how Sasori tried to teach him some manners. He learned some manners but he only used them in battles. At least when he had a chance to since usually people just attacked without thinking.

Tobi came from a noble family but he lost his memory when Sasori killed his whole family. Only Sasori had known who Tobi really was and Ricardo suspected that he had told the secret to the Flowers but he wasn't sure. Tobi wore a mask and no one knew what looked like. He had always had the mask, which was made by Sasori to keep his identity safe. However Itachi and some other people had seen him with a Sharigan. Itachi was quite sure that Tobi couldn't be an Uchiha so he was curious why Tobi had the Sharigan. Karin knew and was proud to know so accidentally she told the secret to Sakura and Melanie, which lead to a huge fight between Tobi and Karin. Tobi found out that he could no longer trust everyone in the Akatsuki. Tobi had even two friends in the Akatsuki. They were Rin and Deidara. They had always been there for him and had always been honest. The Flowers Tobi saw as sisters but something made him like Karin more than the others. Once he had asked Melanie about it who had smiled cutely and said something about a crush. Even though Tobi knew better than admit it, but he had been a part in the Flowers's plan to escape. No one knew it of course since Karin had asked him to keep it as a secret. Now Tobi was waiting for his sisters to meet them again.

Tobi was powerful and it had been seen when Kisame insulted his clan. He had almost killed Kisame but Itachi had interfered. However after that fight Tobi had fainted and he didn't remember anything about the fight. Still Tobi was afraid of Itachi, Damien and Ricardo but he hated Zetsu. Zetsu had always been so know-it-all and that made Tobi's blood boil. Who did he think he was to tell him what to do? Tobi was quiet and didn't voice his opinions often but when he did he was polite and often made everyone believe in his words. He got that from Sakura who had amazing talent in making people do what she wanted. With Hidan and Kakuzu Tobi was careful, the Flowers hadn't trusted in them and neither had Sasori. Also Deidara was always staying away from them. Tobi was an excellent fighter and teacher in ninjutsu. With his Sharigan he learned new jutsus everyday. Tobi hadn't taught anything to the Flowers since he had been so young when they still lived with the Akatsuki. Now Tobi was about 17 years old and couldn't wait to show off his abilities. He just wished that the day would come soon and that he could soon learn the truth about his family.

Orochimaruwas now dead. Uchiha Sasuke had killed him when he tried to get his body. No one would miss him that's for sure. Well maybe Kabuto would miss him but not even his so-called friends in the Akatsuki would care less. Orochimaru had known Ricardo since they were children. He had been with the Akatsuki since the beginning. Orochimaru's biggest mission was to kill a man who could see the future in his dreams. Ricardo had said that the man would destroy their plans and Orochimaru knew that Ricardo had killed his own brother to achieve his goal. Orochimaru didn't want to find out what he would do to him if he was in the way. So Orochimaru went to a different dimension and searched for the man. When he finally found him he found out that the man had a family. He had a wife, a daughter, a son, a mother and a father. Orochimaru knew that this mission had just turned out to be a difficult one. Orochimaru started with the man's parents. He changed their memories so that they thought that they had another son who had moved to America. After that jutsu he appeared to the man's house claiming that he was the long lost brother. He had seen the suspicious glances from the daughter but no one else noticed the difference. So after a week Orochimaru decided to kill the man. He walked towards the man's room but the man's mother came in his way. He killed the woman without caring about her whimpers and questions. He didn't care if the woman had been his mother for a week, no one would stand in his way on his mission. Finally Orochimaru made it to the man's bedroom. He saw the man sleeping with his wife and they looked so happy. Orochimaru narrowed his and did something that could be called weak. He made a genjutsu which made the woman believe that her husband had died because of a rare sickness. Orochimaru was outside the house when the daughter asked him why he did it. Orochimaru turned to the girl and realized that she had seen him killing her father. Orochimaru simply took the girls arm and took her with him to the Akatsuki. That was how Kagome got to the Akatsuki.

Orochimaru's biggest dream was to be immortal. He left the Akatsuki since he had a fight with Ricardo about immortality. Ricardo believed in one life and that was why he didn't want to study the life after this life. Ricardo had told Orochimaru that he wouldn't approve his researches, which lead to Orochimaru's betrayal. Orochimaru took Kabuto with him and was about to take Kagome but Ricardo had seen this coming and had send Kagome for a mission. Orochimaru went to Sound where he became the Kage of the Sound. People were afraid of him and that was why they followed him. Orochimaru learned to change bodies and he did a contract with snakes. Orochimaru was a powerful person but he was afraid of Itachi and his eyes because they made him remember his first love who now hated him. Orochimaru trained Sasuke after putting on him his curse mark, which lead to Sasuke's will to get stronger.

Bloody Angelwas a new member in the Akatsuki. She had Orochimaru's ring, which lead to Ricardo's approval since they had to be an exact number of members. He knew that Orochimaru had been killed but he didn't know if he was killed by Uchiha Sasuke or not. No one in the Akatsuki had seen Bloody Angel but they had caught glimpses of her. They knew that she was always covered in blood when she came from her missions which had led to her nickname. Deidara was the only one who had seen her face and it was covered by the mask but Deidara had said that her eyes had been bloody red and that he didn't want to see them ever again. Ricardo often treated her coldly, which was odd to the other members since Ricardo often tried to make them feel like home because he didn't want them to leave the organization. It didn't work since Ricardo just wasn't so good at doing anything like that. The Akatsuki members were in Akatsuki each for his or hers own reason.

When Bloody Angel went to missions she often took Damien with her. No one, not even Ricardo, knew why but they believed it was because Damien had been the first one to call her an Akatsuki member. Bloody Angel wasn't popular among the other Akatsuki members but she had a special gift with water which was why she couldn't stand Itachi who often used fire just like every Uchiha. Bloody Angel had a difficult nature which was why she hadn't clicked with anyone else but Damien. You couldn't call Damien and Bloody Angel friends since they often fought verbally and not. When they were on missions Bloody Angel often killed their opponents easily and terribly while Damien watched from beside and sometimes he killed the "victim" before she got too far. This often led to battles that no one knew how they ended.

Bloody Angel didn't prefer Taijutsu, ninjutsu or genjutsu. She used her family's techniques that made her opponents bleed and scream. Ricardo believed that it was somehow similar to Sharigan and Bloody Angel wasn't about to make him believe otherwise. She carried around guns but no one, maybe except Rin, who knew more about Bloody Angel than she would have preferred, where they had come from. She took good care of them and often said that even if everything in her life betrayed her, her guns would be always there with her. To that Damien rolled his eyes and reminded her that someday someone would take away her guns and then she would be perfectly unprotected to which Bloody Angel responded by saying that surely he would protect his partner and winked making Deidara who heard it puke. Bloody Angel wasn't girly woman and that was why Damien accepted her so easily. Sakura, Karin or Melanie hadn't met her and Bloody Angel hadn't heard of them. It was a rule in Akatsuki not to speak about Flowers to those who haven't met them. Damien knew that none of the girls would accept Bloody Angel and that was why he would make sure that they would never hear anything about her even if it meant killing people. Bloody Angel knew that Damien sometimes killed people who knew about her but she never bothered to find out why.

Zetsuwasn't very popular character in Akatsuki. Sometimes he got along with Kakuzu and Hidan and sometimes not. Deidara, Tobi, Itachi and Kisame refused to have anything to do with him and if he got too near him he would either get blown up, burned or otherwise injured. Zetsu was only loyal to Ricardo and he got along with Bloody Angel. With Damien Zetsu had a difficult relationship, usually Damien ignored him and let the others do what they wanted with him. But sometimes Damien sent Zetsu to keep an eye on Sasuke Uchiha. Zetsu didn't know why but he reported everything Ricardo and often left something out that had to do with Sakura. Zetsu knew that Damien kept an eye on Uchiha because he was dangerous and had hurt his little sister so Zetsu didn't see harm in helping him. Like everyone in the base he really didn't know or care about Rin but he was interested in her sight. It seemed like she could see but their leader had said that she was blind. Zetsu vowed to reveal this mystery and it had become an obsession to him.

Zetsu had an ability to blend in trees, walls, anything and it made easy for him to listen to conversations. Zetsu didn't really have a partner but if he was paired with someone it was Kakuzu since both of them were good in finding information. Since Zetsu looked like a plant he didn't stay in the base long. He preferred being outside and went inside only if the leader had something to say to him. Zetsu had been a great enemy of Sasori since he had once broken one of Sasori's puppets making the man so angry that the leader himself had to come between them. After that Zetsu had kept his distance from Sasori since he knew that the man had not forgiven or forgotten him and when he would have a chance he would make Zetsu pay. Unfortunately Sasori never had that man but he had passed the duty to Sakura and given her the most dangerous and poisonous poison he had and told her to kill Zetsu with that. Zetsu hadn't seen this accident because of the smoke that there was after the fight. Sasori had died with small smile since he knew that he would get his revenge.

Zetsu was a know-it-all and a very private person. He didn't speak about his past or how he had ended up with body of a plant and two heads. Everyone in the Akatsuki had gotten used to it but it didn't mean that they weren't curious about him. What the Flowers knew about Zetsu's past was that he kept his left arm hidden all the time because of the tattoo in it. They didn't know what the tattoo meant but it meant something since it had words in it and it seemed like a riddle which made Melanie frown when she hadn't had a chance to see it since she loved riddles. Zetsu also disappeared when there was storm and used in his battles lightening and rain. His favorite attack was Lighting Rain which made the opponent first wet and then a lightning stroke him/her. Zetsu had only fought few fight while in Akatsuki but during those fights he had proved himself worth of Akatsuki.

Sasoriwas the adored sensei of the Flowers. He was now dead since Sakura and his grandmother killed him but he had been a very good friend of Sakura and Karin. Melanie and he hadn't got along since Melanie was always late and she didn't understand art like Sasori did. When Deidara and Sasori had been fighting Melanie took automatically Deidara's side as Karin was with Sasori. Their fights often got dirty and Sasori was reminded that the Flowers weren't so delicate as they seemed to be. Karin was good with sharp things which led to cuts, Sakura liked to hit and throw bunches which led to bruises and Melanie just loved to try her new jutsus on her "lovely" sensei. Still Sasori knew how to defend himself and the girls' trainings often ended with girls bleeding more than their sensei. Sasori was the sense of all five girls but Kagome and Rukia weren't training as often as Melanie, Karin and Sakura so Sasori didn't know them as well as he knew the younger ones. Sasori was the only one in Akatsuki who knew how excellent Sakura was in genjutsus, how Karin was the best in taijutsu and how Melanie got her ideas to her ninjutsus. He knew their strongest points and he knew their weakest points. Karin had no idea how to do a genjutsu and with ninjutsu she had her problems, Melanie knew how to defend herself but there was nothing more he could say about her abilities in taijutsu and then Sakura who knew how to hit and kick but always didn't understand to ninjutsus even thought she was intelligent. This was why Sasori had started training them as a team. Karin was the fighter, Sakura was the healer and Melanie did the plans. Together they were excellent team.

Sasori was partners with Deidara and saw him as his only friend. Deidara was younger than him and disrespectful but Sasori found it fascinating how he blew up towns and played with his opponents. Of course Sasori had never admitted it to him and he hadn't enjoyed the fact that Deidara's actions took so much time. Sasori knew his students well which was why he wasn't far too long away from them. He was the only one who had at least some control over them. When the Flowers were kept inside far too long they got bored and started vandalizing the Akatsuki's plans. Sasori knew that Deidara liked it and often lectured him about it. Sasori had respected Ricardo but when he found out what he had done to Tobi the respect flew out of window. Sasori had taken Tobi with him and he had specially told Ricardo that the boy was to be treated well but Ricardo had hurt him and after that Sasori had kept Tobi far away from Ricardo. Sasori had known that Ricardo thought that he had told the Flowers about Tobi but he hadn't encouraged the fact since the only one, now when Sasori was dead, who knew about Tobi would be in great danger if he/she was found out. Sasori hadn't been angry with Sakura when she killed him. In fact he had been proud of her and the others.
