Funny stuff: "Who the hell are you man?!" "I'm the Party-pooper."

My mouth opened in shock. I had just been offered the tenth position in the Akatsuki, the most feared organisation, and all because I killed over 200 ninja's with no sign of regret or scars. "I-I-I'll have to think about this."

Pein smiled evilly. "Take one hour to sort your thoughts."

I nodded and watched him leave, telling Zetsu to keep an eye on me. I sighed and thought aloud to myself. "If I take the position, I'll be disowned to all the people I know, but on the other hand, I'll have nearly unlimited power and protect Konoha from Orochimaru. But Naruto…what would he think of me, his sister? And what about Kakashi? What would he think of me?"

I continued to think like this for over an hour until Pein returned and asked the question again, but with the blue haired woman beside him, drumming her fingers on the back of his high-back leather chair. "So?"

I looked up with a sad face. "I'll do it." It was the worst decision I'd ever made but I knew I would be able to protect Konoha for a while.

"Excellent." Pein stood up and withdrew an intricately designed kunai from his belt. He handed it to me and ordered me to slice my head guard with it. I did so and returned the knife. He then held a small box out to me. I took it bowing and opened the box to reveal a ring with Kūchin written on it. "This was Orochimaru's ring before he betrayed us. He wore it on his left little finger, as you will for now on."

I slipped the ring on my little finger and stood up. "Do I get a cloak too?" I asked.

"Konan, please get Maye some clothes. I need to see someone."

The blue haired ninja, Konan, bowed and smiled at me. "This way." I followed her out the door and towards a small cupboard. She opened it to reveal many Akatsuki cloaks hanging in it. "The cloaks are self-sizing so just choose any of them." I grabbed one and was then led back to my room. "Put it on. Fashion it if you want, but tell me when you're done and we'll find you a mission."

I nodded and waited for her to leave. As she closed the door, I quickly undressed and slid the robe over my arms and buttoned it up.

I cut several parts of the robe and called Konan in. She looked at me up and down and smiled. "Good. Now follow." I did so and walked back into the mini stadium. I sighed and walked to the centre of the room. Tobi, Deidara, Zetsu, Pein, Kisame, Itachi, Hidan and Kakuzu were lined up in front of me; Pein was holding a chest.

"What's happening?" I asked.

"To welcome you into our group, we present you with these kunai's which are unique to your position." He opened the chest and revealed many kunai's with the same design on them. The design was a gold dragon with kunai's rebounding off of it. They were the most dangerously beautiful kunai's I've ever seen. I took the chest gratefully off of him. "Konan. Get the kunai holsters for Maye."

From behind me, Konan bowed and walked over to a set of drawers and withdrew a long retractable belt from the top draw. She hand the belt to me and I quickly placed it over both my shoulders and tied it around my waist (kind of like what you do with ammo belts). The kunai's were magically drawn to the belt and linked themselves in various spots around me. I looked set to kill.

"Now, before we give you a mission, you need to be trained. You are still not as strong as us, but with special training, you will be at our level in no time." I nodded. "Kisame and Itachi will train you first, then Tobi and Deidara."

"Hai." I replied and was led out into a grassy field just outside the Akatsuki temple with Kisame and Itachi.

"Ok, Kisame will help you first with your water Jutsu for the first part of your training, and then I will teach you to cope with the Sharingan world." I smiled slightly and nodded. Then I thought, if this training is going to make me insanely stronger, which means I can protect Konoha better once I leave the Akatsuki…if I ever leave the Akatsuki, that is.

It would be 4 months until I succeed Kisame's training tests; learning nearly all his Jutsu and sword-wielding techniques. And it would be a further 6 months until I could resist torture in Itachi's Sharingan world for 2 weeks. I was a good learner, Itachi had said, but saying it with his boring monotone voice.

Now I had to training with Deidara and Tobi. I didn't have mouths in the palms of my hands, but Deidara taught me the art of explosives using special clay that had already been chewed by him in his spare time. "You need to focus all your Chakra into the palm of your hand and think of the shape you want to make, un."

It was a lot harder than it looked but in the time period of 5 months, I had mastered the exploding clay technique and designed my own explosive which was shaped like a sleeping cat. But it wasn't a cat; it was a fox, dedicated to Naruto. It was my ultimate explosive which I will use for later. And because I was quick to learn Deidara's art, he gave me 2 hip bags full of already chewed clay. "Thank you."

"Not a problem. You respect the art world like Sasori and I did and do, un."

Next was my training with Tobi. Although most of the time we talked, I learnt that Tobi could do one handed Jutsu to become invulnerable to attacks. It was the hardest Jutsu I had ever learnt and it took me 4 months just to learn that one. Once I sort of mastered it, I asked, "Are there any more Jutsu's you can teach me."

Tobi shook his head and said playfully, "I have lots of Jutsu I could show and teach you, but if I taught you them, I wouldn't be special anymore. The others were stupid to teach you the majority of there Jutsu knowledge." He laughed. "My techniques are too advanced for you anyway."

I laughed with him and followed him back inside the temple where we were by Pein and Konan. "Tobi, please leave." Tobi did so and waved good-bye to me. "You need to get some rest too, Maye. Tomorrow I will give you your mission."

I nodded and returned to my bedroom.

Tomorrow came and I walked straight into the mini stadium to receive my mission. Pein was already there with Hidan, immersed in a conversation about God knows what until they spotted me. "Ah, Maye. Your mission is an important one. Just let me find the scroll."

I waited patiently for my mission and bowed when I received it. I unrolled it slightly and gasped. "Are you sure you want to send me on a mission this important?"

"Yes. I have decided it and I do not go back on my word."

I rolled up the scroll and bowed. I had to start my mission immediately so I quickly grabbed my clay pouches and some supplies and quickly left towards my destination.

Yeah, I know, she's evil now...but fear not, stuff will happen!
