*Miko's POV*
It has been over a week since the Akatsuki moved into the White Lotus Society and I was getting edgy.
"Black Dragon Priestess!" a voice called in my ear "Get up; there is a riot at the door."
I woke up from my afternoon nap in the garden; the Mistress was standing above me. Slowly I stood up and followed her to the gate to see a bunch of men trying to get in and calling my name.
"Gentlemen," I said calming them down "Please, there is no reason to create a riot. You all know that you need an invitation to get into this Geisha house, but I am only here visiting and will not take any customers."
The men groaned and mumbled as they left the gate but two men, one with long white hair and the other with grey hair, entered using their invitations.
"Master Jiraiya, Kakashi Hatake," Mistress greeted them "It is a pleasure to see you here."
"I hope you don't mind, but I have brought my team along with us," the grey haired one spoke.
"That won't be a problem Kakashi," Mistress informed him "Please introduce your team."
"This is Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke," he pointed to the girl, then the blond boy and lastly the raven haired boy.
Sasuke must have sensed something since he went from uncaring to attentive, without warning he ran off in the direction of the Akatsuki. Just looking at him I knew he was trouble.
"Black Dragon Priestess," Mistress's voice told me to go catch him.
"Yes Mistress," I bowed and ran after Sasuke.
I caught up with him quickly, he already opened the door to the Akatsuki's room but I closed it before he could actually see what was inside. He was fast, but I took pride in being faster.
"It would be wise not to run off, you could easily get lost," I warned him my voice soft and sweet "Let me take you back to the others."
Sasuke quietly followed me back to his team; I could feel the cold stare he gave me. I smirked to myself thinking that things were soon to become very interesting. His team was still at the gate when we arrived.
"Sasuke," Sakura jumped onto him as he tried to pull away.
"Where did you run off to?" Naruto asked.
"None of your business," Sasuke replied coldly keeping his eyes on me.
"Thank you for bringing Sasuke back," Kakashi said.
I bowed slightly; Jiraiya was paying little attention to what was being said he cared more about the Geisha around him. He was going to be an easy target, the kids were a bit of a kink in the plan though.
"Gentlemen, and lady," Mistress informed "The Geisha who will be staying with you are Fuyuko, Rika, Tora, Tsukiko and Black Dragon Priestess."
I was about to leave until she called my name, I was shocked but listened to her speak. She's going back on what she has said earlier, Mistress has never gone back on her word unless it benefited the entire society. I wondered what she had planned for me and the society.
"One Geisha per guest. I would like Tsukiko with Master Jiraiya, Fuyuko with Kakashi, Rika to be with Naruto, Tora will be with Sakura," as Mistress spoke the Geisha went to who they were assigned "Finally Sasuke will have the pleasure of our most skilled Geisha, Black Dragon Priestess. First I wish to speak with her, if any of you have a problem speak with your Geisha and we will try to fix it immediately."
Mistress left and I followed, she took me to the Akatsuki's room and that's when I started to loose my calm demeanor. With good reason too, I didn't care if the Akatsuki were circling us.
"Why did you drag me into this?" I yelled at her "You've already said I'm not part of this society!"
"You have already had the pleasure of socializing with Sasuke," she replied calmly "I have also mentioned that you are the most talented Geisha, it is the truth. If that comment doesn't attract Jiraiya or Kakashi I don't know what will."
"I kill them my way?" I asked calming down a little.
"If you must," she sighed.
"Are they here?" Pein asked.
"Yes and Kakashi brought his team; Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke," she answered him.
I saw Itachi flinch when Sasuke's name was mentioned. He must know the kid and it peaked my curiosity.
"Naruto is the one we're after," Itachi spoke up "If Sasuke is here, he'll be a slight challenge to our mission."
"I've noticed," I said "He ran away and almost found you guys out."
"You know your target, now go back to the others," Mistress said "If you need to talk to the Akatsuki then send them a message, and gentlemen if you need to speak to your team mate then send a Geisha with a note to her. It would be wise if you are not seen."
I left to go find the new guests; they were in the entertainment room. Before entering I stayed outside to listen to their conversation.
"Sasuke, I want you to keep an eye on Black Dragon Priestess," Kakashi informed "I believe she holds many secrets that could benefit us."
"Yes sir," Sasuke replied dully.
"If you want Kakashi, I'll be glad to take her off of the kids' hands," Jiraiya said.
"What is so special about Black Dragon Priestess?" Fuyuko asked annoyed.
"She's mesmerizing," Jiraiya replied "She shows skin, which I love, she looks dangerous and mysterious and she's also drop dead gorgeous. I love her."
"But she's…" Fuyuko started to argue.
"Standing right here," I replied standing in the doorway with my arms crossed.
"Black Dragon, your back," Fuyuko was surprised.
"You were talking behind my back again," I smiled deceptively "You know better than to do that Fuyuko."
"Yes Black Dragon," she bowed low, her voice was icy and full of sarcasm.
"Excuse me, did you say something?"
"M-my apologies Black Dragon," she stammered surprised at my calmness "If you don't mind me asking, what did Mistress want to speak to you about?"
"That is not for the ears of our guests," I turned my attention to them "Do you gentlemen have any requests of what to do?"
"I want to go to the hot springs with all the pretty ladies," Jiraiya said getting a nose bleed at the very thought.
"I want to train!" Naruto exclaimed jumping up.
"That sounds like an excellent idea Naruto, I'll join you," Kakashi also stood up.
"I'm staying with Sasuke," Sakura grabbed his arm with a large smile.
Sasuke groaned as everyone else left with their Geisha to their destination. He went outside with Sakura still attached to his arm. Tora and I stayed behind them keeping a close watch.
"Naruto is the target our other guests are after," I whispered to her.
"That brat?" she asked surprised a little too loudly.
"What are you two whispering about?" Sasuke looked back at us glaring.
"Nothing," I smiled sweetly.
Sasuke continued to glare at me as I walked by taking them to the garden to relax. He was suspicious, Itachi was right about him being trouble.
"I have an idea," Tora clapped her hands together "Why don't we relax in this peaceful garden as Black Dragon plays her flute for us."
"But I haven't played in a long time," I told her.
"Please," Sakura begged "It would be so romantic."
"Very well," I agreed smiling at her.
I pulled out my flute, took a deep breathe and started playing. As I played I forced Sasuke to look straight into my eyes. When the song finished Sasuke would be under my spell, totally under my control. At the same time I was passing a message to the Geisha with my flute, a special trick I learnt while at the White Lotus Society.
*Rika's POV*
"Hey Rika, do you hear that?" Fuyuko asked.
"That's Black Dragon's flute," I stood there listening then whispered to her "The Akatsuki want Naruto."
"That brat?" she looked at me in surprise and disgust "What else is she saying?"
"We strike tonight and if we fail then she'll finish them herself," I said a moment later.
