Chapter 4

Yuuki woke up at 4 am. Ate breakfast, took a shower...etc, after dressing in her usual outfit () she walked to the gates of the village and waited for 5 min for Mizuki to get there.

"You ready to go Yuuki?" "Hai, I am" "Ok then lets go."

The guards opened the gates and the 2 woman speed outside. They traveled without a sound, and in sync, for the trained together a lot, to kill time mostly. Yuuki and Mizuki were the top ninja's in the village, in fact Yuuki was nominated for the Kage title, but she refused, since she had her clan to lead and many responsibilities, plus she felt that Mizuki was best suited for it.

After 3 hours of traveling the came upon the meeting site. It was a beautiful lake with a waterfall, and wildflowers growing all around. "So, when do you think they'll show up?" "Probably 4 more hours, Pein is sending his partner to greet us and take you to the base...but I doubt they expect us to get her in only 3 hours since for most its a 7 hr trip." "ah ok, well in that case, wanna go for a swim?" "HELL YEAH!" yelled Mizuki. Yuuki laughed as she watched her friend run and jump into the calm lake, before she too ran and jumped in screaming.

After swimming for a bit, they decided to train on the water's surface, then sat relaxing from their workout in the cool water. They got out, ate an early lunch as they dried off.

"Its always fun when your early." said Yuuki with a laugh. "I'd have to agree with you, that is if the meeting place is this nice." "Yea, and it looks like the akatsuki member has arrived."

"Hm, then lets get ready to meet them." said Mizuki with a mischievous glint. Which Yuuki then copied. "yes lets"

Konan, walked through the trees, she was about a mile away. 'I bet when I get there, i'll have to wait awhile....oh well.' she thought

Mizuki and Yuuki were watching Konan walk. Using sign language they talked to each other quietly....once in awhile using hand signs to tell where they were going to next while following the Akatsuki member.

"hmm, so its a woman, im guessing, Konan, shes Pein's partner, there arent too many woman in the group. So its easy to tell." Yuuki told her companion.

"Yea but now they will have 2, I bet konan will appreciate not being the only woman there, well, the only real woman, those girly boys dont count." replied Mizuki

"yea, oh how much fun we could have teasing those guys, I wish you could come too Mizuki."

"haha me too, it would be fun, and the village wont be the same, Waa whos gonna go on those insane shopping sprees with me?"

"im sure you'll find someone, hey you could take Hitomi once in awhile, she loves shopping, about as much as you."

"YAY! That will be fun, it'd be like having a little sis, thanks Yuuki."

"no problem just dont spoil her too much."

"I'll try not to."

"Well shes finally almost there, ready to go for it?"

"oh yes.....very ready" Mizuki replied with a wicked grin.

"then lets do it"

you take the right, ill take the left, you know the rest....ready?

Yes

3 2 1....GO!

When Konan reached the clearing and saw no one there, she relaxed and decided to wait for them...until suddenly she was attacked by kunai, which she dodged by blowing away with her paper.

When she got back together, she noticed that the kunai were lined up perfectly with each other. 'who ever they are they are in sync with their skills. And I cant sense them at all.' she thought

"I think its time we show ourselves now."

"Yup, that was fun, did you see her face! She knows she's outmatched."

Suddenly Konan saw 2 woman appear where the kunai landed. "You finally decided to show up eh? We've been waiting for 4 hrs, how long did you think it would take us?" Yuuki said

"I assume you are the ones Pein said would meet me here correct?"

"Hai, im the Kage of the Moon Village, this is Yuuki, my friend, and the best ninja our village has."

"I can tell you both are excellent, Pein has made the right choice, forgive me for doubting your abilities, I should have realized that Pein made the choice based on your skill, not the alliance. No wonder you where here before the time it usually takes."

"Its ok, may we go now, or is there something I need to do or know?" asked Yuuki

"You passed the skill test, without even having me ask. The only thing is the cloak and ring you must have. Here." She handed Yuuki an akatsuki cloak and ring

"It matched your outfit Yuuki." Mizuki laughed. "Its meant to be"

"hahaha funny.....thank you Konan"

"Your welcome, now we may go."

"Very well, ill cya later Mizuki, dont forget me"

"You dont forget me either...haha...im gonna miss our escapades. The village wont be the same."

"Me too, hey dont become a old hag Kage when I get back I expect you to be your mischievous self."

"haha ill try...cya Yuuki"

"cya"

Konan waited for them to say their farewells, then when Yuuki nodded to her, she started off, Yuuki following close behind.

Mizuki stared after her friend 'dont change too much Yuuki....and be careful.' She turned and headed back to the village.
