Chp 1: Caught in the Act

A young women, around the age of 18, was kneeling front of an old man with a bunch of bandages around him. It after the third Hokage had died.

"Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame have just left Konoha," the man spoke. They were in a very dark room which seemed to be underground.

"You are to follow then and report on activity about Akatsuki. This is a very important mission we need to find more details about Akatsuki. Do not fail me. Dismissed," He commanded.

"Yes Danzo-sama." The young red-ish brown haired with blue eyes left in a puff of smoke. Reappearing outside in the sun, she started leaping tree to tree; she quietly tried to locate the duo. Once found she followed them. Days passed with nothing unusual happening. Finally it seemed like they were being called by someone to go somewhere. So she followed.

She couldn't help but feel something strange. They were both two very powerful and strong S-rank ninja. It's been a number of days, and those two ninja's haven't the slightest clue they were being follow. Kitsune was good, but not that good. After hours they stopped.

Suddenly, out of now where, an underground cave like entrance appeared. The blue man and Uchiha went inside while Kitsune went down to get a better view. Another with the same coat soon appeared. It was a big puppet like thing.

"You've been followed" the puppet said, though the little hiding spy could not hear a thing.

"We know," the Uchiha replied with no emotion, "We were told to bring her here without making her suspicious."

"I'll get this brat to the leader… I've been bored waiting for you guys all day…" the puppet man said. He moved outside and his jaw opened. Needles dripping with purple liquid destroyed a bush about 10 meters away. Slowly and cautiously, he walked towards the poisoned bush. To his disappointment, there was no one there.

"Ugh…. She's fast…" He then looked down to see drops of blood, "but not fast enough."

i'That was close… how did they even find me? Damn it… my arm is killing me…'/i Kitsune was leaning against a tree, about 50 meters away from the bush she was hiding in. i'must be poison… damn it… I can't stand anymore…/i' Her eye lids grew heavy, she started breathing fast, she just couldn't take it anymore. Last thing remembered was the sky moving further away from her and the ground on her back.

x-o-x-o-x-o-x-o

The poor failed spy had her ankles and wrists tied while she was unconscious on the dark, rocky floor by none other than the Uchiha.

"Itachi-san, why do you think the leader wants her alive?" The blue man asked.

"To use her. The unique ANBU symbol on her arms means she's from root" Itachi squatted next to the fox girl and turned on his sharingan, "which means that she's a very well trained spy."

"Get up," Itachi grabbed her neck. Due to lack of air, she did wake up. As soon as she woke up, her eyes were caught by his sharingan. The Uchiha was controlling everything the fox did, just to make sure she wouldn't escape. Kisame flung him over his sword. They walked along the dark corridors until they entered another room where the puppet was. Itachi threw the spy onto the floor, awakening her from her genjutsu.

Soon a young blue headed women and a man with piercings walked in.

"Itachi, Kisame and Sasori, go and meet this bomber at the outskirts of Iwa village. Recruit him for Sasori's partner," The pierced man gave Kisame a photo of a blonde man. All three walked out the door. "tsk… I hope this brat won't be annoying…" Sasori muttered under his breath while he left.

"why did you keep me alive?" She asked bravely while trying to sit up recollecting her thoughts.

Pein stared at her. "I am wondering that too." Kitsune was pretty surprised by his answer. At that moment another man appeared with a hood so Kitsune couldn't see his face. He wasn't wearing the same clothes as the other akatsuki members.

"Pein…" The blue haired girl whispered.

"So Madara, would you explain?" Pein asked.

"We could use her," The mysterious man simply stated.

"Like hell I'd help you!" Kitsune spat. Pein moved his hand which sent Kitsune flying into the wall.

"ku-!" Kitsune grunted.

"tsk… watch your tone girl. You're lucky to be alive."

"Leave us," the hooded man walked over towards the chained girl while the others left. They were the only two in the dark, damp room.

"I am not requesting you to join us. It's an order. Or you will suffer a fate worse than death."

"hah. Worse than working for you?," Kitsune sneered. Madara grabbed her neck, chocking her. He took off his hood to reveal an orange mask with one hole on the right side. Kitsune saw something red shimmering through the hole.

i'Im… Impossible… Uchiha… Uchiha Madara?'/i A slight hint of fear hit her.

"I-I refuse to help you." Madara threw her across the room. She hit the other wall and fell to the floor.

"there's no point in fighting back."

"Th-there's no point in using me…" she tried to breath out, "my loyalties are with Danzo-sama." Madara looked at her with disgust behind his mask. Now she has loyalties?

"wh-why do you even need me!" Kitsune started coughing. Madara slowly walked up to her. She was just glaring at him, fighting, not standing down. Madara took a mental note of that. He squatted down and grabbed her shirt.

Her eyes… as blue as Kameyo's. Why was he so mad? Why didn't he just kill her? If by any chance she has his blood, he should kill her, right? He managed to cool down. He wanted to use the Hokkyoku ability since it was close to extinction. No wonder Danzo took her in. It would help him with his plan to rule the world.

Kitsune tried to kick him away. He chuckled. She was like Kameyo yet so different. He wanted to kill her, but in the grand scheme of things he could use her abilities first.

"why are you so loyal to danzo?" Madara asked.

"why do you give a crap?" He had to admit, she is a brave little girl. Kitsune felt a large stinging feeling across her cheek.

"You'd think in a position you're in you'd be smarter than that."

"then kill me." She gave a small smirk. He needed her, she wouldn't kill her.

"fine." Kitsune wide eyed at the man in surprise. "kukuku… don't worry, you'll see me again soon…" With that said, he stabbed her with a syringe in the neck.

"tsk… if I did join I'd die anyway…" Kitsune couldn't see the man's face, but she could tell he was confused. "Danzo-sama isn't stupid. He put some sort of tracker that allows him to see if I'm alive or not. He was probably wondering how long it would take till you'd kill me," Kitsune grinned.

i'she has a very odd personality…'/i "Then… I guess I'll have to kill you."
