I woke up to the sound of someone running into something outside. I quickly got out of bed and, while fingering a kunai, walked over to the door cautiously. I placed my head to the closed door and listened to see where the person was. Heavy footsteps came down the hallway near me. When I felt that they were near enough, I threw open the door and held the kunai at the ready.
Guess who I ran into? If you guessed it right than you would have had to guess Pein. He looked at me slightly amused. I looked over at the clock. It read 6:04am! Who gets up then right after a party? Yes, apparently him! When I looked back at him, I saw him eying me still amused.
"What?" I snapped and he motioned to me. I then looked at what I was wearing. I had on a baby-blue tank top and pale-blue pajama pants that had mini Uchiha symbols on it. I blushed immediately by my chose of sleepwear. "What? Itachi has a pair just like them, except in black." The leader chuckled and ruffled my hair as he walked past. I grunted my displeasure but went back into my room none the less.
I sat at my desk making profiles on the Akatsuki members that I would hide in the desk. Today Itachi was going to take me to the store to get me clothes and other necessities I already had but he was going to take whether I protested or not. I could always embarrass him by dragging to the women's underwear section, browse for a few minutes, before leaving with nothing. Nah, I'll just get more clothes because I would stand out in my others. I could also use a new CD to listen to. It depends what he'll let me get.
I finished the entire Akatsuki's profiles and looked at the clock. 7:26 in the morning and I still had to wait for at least another hour until the fight with Itachi took me shopping. I wandered out of my room and made my way to the kitchen. Konan and Pein were the only ones in there.
Konan was making breakfast of bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches. Pein was reading the paper with a cup a coffee in his hand that read "Don't interrupt me until this is empty." I couldn't help but chuckle at the mug in his hand as I went up to Konan.
"Need help with breakfast?" I asked her. She nodded and motioned to the eggs on another pan. I began to scramble them as she flipped over bacon and put bread into the toaster. I sprinkled cheese on the eggs and dished them onto toast already set out when Konan would put the bacon on them and the other piece of bread.
Itachi and Kisame wandered into the room following their noses. Itachi was still half asleep like every other Uchiha man when they wake up to the smell of food. Hidan followed shortly, grumpy and mumbling something about "The damn miser stealing the blankets last night" and such. Kakuzu and Sasori entered next with Sasori supporting his blonde boyfriend who was asleep again.
"Nice pajamas Bailey," Sasori mocked. I blushed and stuck my tongue out at him. He chuckled and placed Deidara into a chair before sitting next to him. Deidara's head connected with the table, affectively waking the blue-eyed "beauty."
"Bumblebee Tuna!" he shouted raising his head. The whole room burst out laughing. Seriously? What was he dreaming about? The commotion ended and breakfast was served. It wasn't until Kisame was done with his sandwich did he notice that Itachi was wearing the same thing as me except in black.
"Do you two have the same pajamas or something," he motioned to me and Itachi. We looked down at what we were wearing and then at each other and smirked.
"Yes, he has a red nightgown with the words Daddy's Devil on it," I spoke with sarcasm. "What do you think smart ass?"
"Do you seriously still have those?" Itachi asked from across the table. I shook my head.
"I got rid of it when I was six. It didn't fit anymore," I answered. Hidan started laughing before we all shot him a look like WTF. He stopped and looked around at us.
"What? I was wondering who would have something with that on it?" he smirked, holding back laughter.
"I was three and an evil child then. Otou-san saw it and thought of me. Got it that Christmas," I answered leaning back in my chair. "Oka-san never let him live that down. Guess what she got me?" By now Itachi was smirking in amusement and everyone was staring at me ready. "She got me a shirt that said Mommy's Angel," I laughed.
Breakfast was over and everyone began to split their separate ways. I went back into my room and turned my radio on to a low volume. I flipped through the stations trying to find something interesting. Classical, news, more news, oh a rock station. I left it on that but they interrupted it.
"Excuse this interruption, but yesterday Bailey Uchiha Hyuga left the Village Hidden in the Leaves, blowing up part of the south wall in the process. Anyone who finds this criminal, bring her back to the village dead or alive. We will now resume your normal radio station," a voice appeared over the radio. I smirked. Tsunade made it look like I went south when really I went east.
I pulled out my Bingo Book and looked it over. It was the most recent, given to me by Tsunade the day before I left. I wouldn't appear until next month's book. Tsunade had also given me an order to kill off as many of the people in this book as possible while still undercover.
"Bailey!" someone's voice said as they banged on my door. "Get ready. We're going shopping in a bit." Footsteps echoed down the hallway. I went into my bathroom, thankfully that was provided with the room. They said that all of their rooms had a bathroom and I was lucky enough that I didn't have to share mine. I took a quick shower before I quickly changed into a blood red short-sleeved shirt and black ninja pants. I threw a black cloak on and buttoned the first button letting my outfit be seen.
I walked out with my hair now in black ringlets. "What's with the cloak?" Kisame said sitting on the couch with a soda in his hand.
"It's raining," I answered plainly.
"It's always raining. You'll have to get used to that, you know Bailey-chan," he replied. I growled my displeasure but he just laughed at me.
"I happen to love the rain. It's…" I paused trying to find the right word, "Refreshing." He smirked, shaking his head before moving his attention back to the show he was watching. Itachi came out of his room wearing his Akatsuki uniform as per usual.
"Ready?" he asked simply. I nodded and threw the hood onto my head. We walked out of the base and he teleported us to Amegakure. He did it `because I'd never been there.
I looked around the village. Towers and places all seemed to be made out of a metallic substance as the rain panged down on the roofs. What surprised me the most, was that countless people were actually outside shopping. We walked into a clothing store not far from the entrance.
"Hello Itachi-san, what are you here for today," a man at the counter of the store said to him. "Oh, who is this young woman with you? I thought you were gay Itachi-san." The man rambled further as a deep blush spread its way onto Itachi's cheeks.
"I'm Bailey, sir. I'm Itachi's Imouto. He's going to be watching me for a while," I replied shaking his hand.
"Oh, my apologies Itachi-san, I didn't know." Itachi grunted and showed me farther into the store.
We shopped around in there for a while. I got a couple new shirts and pants. Part way into our shopping, Konan had stopped by and insisted I got a kimono that matched the Akatsuki's for the times the Amegakure held festivals, when it was not raining. So, I also got a simple black kimono with a red obi and a red flower pattern up the right side of the kimono.
The next store we stopped at was the ice cream parlor. Itachi left Konan and me there while he went to the weapons store. I got a cone with chocolate ice cream with brownie bits and caramel dripped on top. Konan got a bowl of cookie dough and ordered a couple tubs to be brought home for the Akatsuki.
Itachi met up with us at a convenient store where I got extra toiletries and Konan got things the rest of them needed. She said that she felt like their maid, and I answered that she was better than a maid because she could talk back and beat them up while a maid can't.
Itachi had gotten extra shuriken, kunai, and senbon along with a brand new katana for me. He said he wanted to teach me how to use one as to heighten my combat skills. He also said Kisame would help or else. I don't know what or else means, but I know I probably won't want to be in his place if he refuses.
"Anything else you want before we head back to the base?" Nii-san asked. I smirked to Konan. We planed on freaking him out to think I was such a girly-girl.
"Ooh, can I get earrings, necklaces, bracelets, make-up," I stopped when I saw his horrified face, "And my katana to chop that guys head off." I motioned to a guy that was currently sneaking up behind me. The man immediately ran away. "Ok, but seriously, can I get a CD or a book or something to keep me occupied before my first mission." He ruffled my hair and set off to a book store. What is with people and doing that?
In the end, I ended up get a few scrolls on Fuuinjustu, some on Taijutsu Kata, and some on sword skills. I got a few novels for pure entertainment along with a couple CDs. I knew I would somehow get hurt during my fight with Pein, so while I'm bedridden I now have something to do.
When we got back to the base, it was time for the fight. We walked yet again to the outside training grounds and Pein and I took up fighting positions on opposite ends of the field. I chose my Byakugan stance while he chose some other stance. Konan held up her hand and dropped it. The battle began.
I jumped into the trees for cover, making sure to mask my chakra as well as possible. Pein still stood in the center of the clearing scanning with his Rinnegan. I growled inwardly. I would never get close enough to him without him knowing…unless. I moved underground and before I shot up, I made sure I could quickly use a Jyuken. I shot up and put chakra into my palm, getting a quick blow to his arms before he kicked me in the jaw. I flipped back out of reach, recovering from the blow.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu," I slammed my hand on the ground and Pakkun appeared. "He's our enemy." I told him. He nodded and took off running according to my plan given to him by my code word.
I jumped into the air, twirling as I did so, and showered him with weapons. He used his Chibaku Tensei to deflect them all and Pakkun during that time came up and bit his neck. I ran at him while he was distracted. I hit him with a Jyuken in his leg and stuck a senbon in his neck. He pushed us both off him. Damn, I was a fraction off. I activated my Mangekyou Sharingan and began to form chakra into my palm for my Katon: Gōen Rasengan.
He was favoring his right leg and his right arm lay loosely on his side. Pakkun nodded to me and disappeared. In his place stood Bull. I winked at him and he allowed me to get on his back. I rode him into the clearing. The looked that flashed through Pein's eyes looked like he was thinking, "It evolved!" He must have been watching too much Pokemon or something.
I leapt off of Bull's back and as Bull rammed him, I sent the Rasengan into his chest. It burst as I leapt away and he was thrown into flames. I used that as my opportunity to throw him into a Genjutsu. I made the Genjutsu slightly different than what was really happening. He probably would barely tell the difference. In it, I would send all of Kakashi's nin-dogs to at him.
I stepped back and watched him attack himself trying to get the Genjutsu dogs off of him. He would randomly hit himself. I couldn't help but smirk. While I he was caught, I went in to hit him Jyuken to the heart. At the last second he got out and went to hit me with a punch, when I doubled over in pain. Pain went through my head and I let out a scream before everything was dark.
(Pein's POV)
Damn, she caught me in a Genjutsu. I quickly canceled it to see her running straight at me with a Jyuken. I went to punch because I couldn't kick her without falling over. I was about to hit her when her eyes glazed over and turned a solid yellow. A ear-piercing scream escaped her lips and then my fist connected with the side of her face.
"The match is over!" I yelled out. She flew back into a tree and another scream pierced the air. I fell exhausted. That was one of the best fights in a long time.
"What did you do to her pain-in-the-ass?" Hidan yelled running past me and to her. Itachi also ran past and she again let out a scream before a roar came from her throat. Hidan stopped mid-step.
I looked over to her again. Seeping from her was a strange orange chakra like one of a Jinchuuriki. Which one does she have? It's not the Kyubi, the Nibi or the Ichibi. We only need the Hachibi, the Sanbi, and the Rokubi aside from those and plus the Sanbi is wild.
"Damn it, why did this have to happen now," I heard Itachi mumble as he wove hand-signs. As he did so, a seal appeared on her head with the kanji of peace(平和)
on it. Peace? What kind of Bijuu was it? I examined the seal used again. It was a strong seal but it felt like it wasn't needed. Itachi slammed his hand through the cloak of chakra, burning his hand, and onto Bailey's forehead where the seal was. The chakra began to retract and she let out one more scream and a audible crack was heard. Itachi picked her up as she lay unmoving on the ground.
"What was that?" Hidan mumbled scared. He slowly backed away from Itachi and into Kakuzu that hugged the trembling masochist. Weird, the miser usually isn't one for public displays of affection. I groaned again as a wave of pain swept over me from the burns she gave me.
"He'll have to explain later, right now we need to get Pein and Bailey to the hospital," Konan ordered. Zetsu came over and help me get to my feet and began to help me walk. We all teleported to the gate of my village and the villagers stared in shock. I heard people whisper, "What happened to our God?" or "Who's that girl Itachi-san is carrying?" and one person even said "I hope Bailey is alright. She was such a nice girl." Seems she's already becoming known around here, eh?
Zetsu helped me to the small hospital where, they immediately rushed me onto a stretcher. "Stop, work with her first," I ordered them. My only injuries were the closed chakra points and the burn. She must of broken a few bones from the crack we heard.
Itachi forced them to let him come with saying that if it acted up, he could stop it. Although he appeared momentarily later. His face was sheet pale. They rolled me into a room and healed me up in no time.
"What did you see Itachi-san? Saw your little sister naked or something?" Kisame joked. Itachi shook his head still sheet white. He struggled to find the words.
"I saw the positions her bones were in," he stated taking a seat.
"What was wrong with them?" Konan pressed. He paled even more and I didn't think that was humanly possible.
"They were twisted, not bent, not broken or chipped, but twisted," he answered as he started shaking. "Some were even broken. I don't know what could have caused that." He tried to explain further but Kisame pulled him to his chest. Twisted?
After Itachi calmed down, I decided to press him on what happened early. "What happened to her early? Is she a Jinchuuriki or something?" I asked trying to sit up in the bed I was placed in. Zetsu helped me.
Itachi looked to the ground. "Yes, she is. I know we're not supposed to bring them into the Akatsuki, but now that we're getting closer to the goal, I found it fit that she was nearby in case something wrong happened," Itachi rambled.
"What can she do about Jinchuuriki? Which one is she?" I demanded.
"The Junibi no Ookami is the only thing that can stop a raging demon. It was sealed in her shortly after her birth. It was given to Konoha as a peace treaty by a nation. I don't know which, but it's a powerful one in hiding, was all I was told," he explained. "She was the child born during the time. It was given to the Uchihas also to stop their act of defection. They threatened to defect to a different land if we weren't moved. Instead the demon was given to them."
The longest I had ever heard Itachi speak with stopping. It would make sense but why were the Uchiha's killed then? I nodded signaling for Itachi that he was good, but I had one more question. "Then, why is it causing her so much pain?"
"The seal must have been tampered with since it was placed. Who knows when it could have happened," Itachi answered. Before I could ask another question, Konan shooed everyone out and demanded I rest. I didn't want to get her angry so I did what I was told.
