Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, the Akatsuki, or any other amazing ideas Kishimoto-sama has made up. I only bow to his awesomeness *bows*
My head is still spinning when I grasp what Zetsu has said and what has happened.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" I yell, not caring all the odd looks I was getting. "Where the hell am I?!"
"Quite," Hidan hisses slapping his hand over my mouth. "We'll explain once we get out of here," I'm still screaming behind his hand but it's too late. I catch the attention of a red headed important looking man. His eyes get huge and I see him say something but I, among my other list of accomplishments I have yet to complete, am not able to read lips. There's something pointy at my throat and is steadily being pressed into it, drawing blood.
"One more move," Itachi says calmly "And the girl has her throat slit. Let us go and she'll be fine,"
"Kazekage-sama," A man says whispering in the important looking man's ear. "We'll let them get out of range and then send our ANBU after them," He nods.
"Don't let them hurt Nariko-san," He says and I look around.
"Who are they talking about?" I ask pulling myself away from Hidan's hand.
"You, now shut the f*** up and go along with it," He says sounding like he could bite my ear off at any minute. I gulp and nod hesitantly. One of Deidara's hands slips down into a pouch on the side of his hip and pulls it out as his mouth hand starts chewing. I glance to the side and see that the rest of the Akatsuki is at the ready.
A few tense moments past and I feel a lot of eyes on me. Shivering a little, I look around and see that the Kazekage's gaze hasn't left me since I started screaming a few minutes ago.
Deidara's arm goes around my waist as he sets whatever his hand had been chewing on the ground. He pulls me close and puts his hands in a weird position. The thing expands so now I see that it's a bird. He jumps with inhuman strength onto the bird and it stretches its wings out, giving a huge shake that almost throws us back to the ground.
Itachi's eyes turn red and swirl, feeling mesmerized.
"Move," He says in a cold voice and the bird forces its wings down once so that we're flying. I'm too amazed to scream again.
The village bellow us gets smaller and smaller as Deidara takes us higher. Minutes pass until he finds our altitude acceptable and lets the bird start flying straight ahead instead of straight up. He lets go of me and smiles a little.
"This is my art, yeah," He says with a hint of pride in his voice.
"How did you do all this?" I ask, awed.
"Chakra, its all part of being a ninja, un," He adds the second part when he sees me open my mouth to ask what chakra is. I frown a little.
What does he think we are?! My inner yells instantly getting p.o'd at the idea that we would fall for something as childish as being a ninja. Ninjas don't exist!
Neither do guys with mouths on their hands yet here we are riding on a bird made of clay with a guy that has mouths on his hands. I think dryly making my inner even madder.
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?! She yells indignantly.
That you're wrong. This is all real. She claps her hands over her ears childishly and shakes her head.
This isn't possible! Cha! I sigh mentally as the world keeps zooming by. Lowering myself onto my stomach, I look over the side of the bird and watch bellow, picking out specks that I can tell are the rest of the Akatsuki.
Night is starting to reach its long fingers out to engulf the world around me. The sun is setting and I feel drained from what has happened today. Deidara flies the bird in silence for a few more minutes before he speaks up.
"You might want to hold on, yeah, I'm going to be landing soon." I nod and gently weave my fingers into the stiff clay feathers near me. The bird opens its mouth in a silent protest and I sigh.
"Sorry," I mumble and settle for wrapping my arms around Deidara's waist. Blue light-stuff shines from his feet as he sends the bird into a dive, laughing the entire time. A few hellish moments later and we're safely back on the ground. My hair is blown backwards and my glasses are forced up toward the back of my head. Flattening my hair back in vain, I pull my glasses down back over my eyes so I'm not blind.
"Nice," Kisame chuckles under his breath. I'm sure I look like I just got off a rollercoaster and sigh a little. He riffles through his bag and I flinch, thinking that he was finally going to kill me. Instead, he pulls out a hairbrush and a picture. Taking both, I run the brush through my hair with one hand and look at the picture with the other.
The picture has obviously been through a lot. The corners are bent and torn, there are scratches on the page, but one thing in particular catches my eye.
The girl in the picture looks exactly like me, but she isn't wearing glasses and she doesn't have a red streak in her hair. There's also a headband thingy on her forehead with what looks like a fallen-over snail on it.
"That," Kakuzu says taking a seat next to me. "is Nariko Getsu. It's almost funny how much you look alike. She was a beloved Kanoha ninja. Loved by many. But she was weak. Up until the last minute she was still weak. Emotionally and physically,"
"Was?" I ask feeling cold dread curl up into my stomach.
"She was trying to protect the Kyuubi Jinjurkin and we captured her instead of him by accident. Leader-sama had us kill her. She was useless to us. A few of her friends cling to the hope that she's still alive. They have no idea," An evil smirk crawls onto his lips and I shiver.
"Is that why I'm here?" I ask my throat somewhat dry.
"That among other things," He says mysteriously. I shiver again as the smile grows while he looks into the fire, his smile growing bigger.
