Howdy!! I've missed all of you. Well... not really due to the fact that I don't really know any of you. (Sweat drop) I would like to thank Suezanne, Twi Tsi, and TwilightFreak Number 1, which I'm pretty sure used to be MikaTheCatHanyo. If I'm wrong correct me in the review. I love the name by the way. Me lurvs the Cullens. And Jacob. And the wolves.
Gaara-Wolves? Cullens?
K- Yeah! The wolf pack and a family of vampires. Awesome book. One of my favorites!!
Dei-But I thought we were your favorite book. un.
K-You guys are a manga! You're different silly.
Disclaimer. I don't own Naruto!! If I did I could die happy.
Just a heads up. This is a filler chapter. I was originally planning a time skip, but since I have no intention of a sequel I wanted to add a bit to the story. It's still kinda in fast forward mode but I still added WAAAAAAY more detail then there would have been originally.

The next few weeks were mildly enjoyable. She slowly learned the benefits of the spider. She climbed all over the walls and ceilings, hanging upside down and jumping on unsuspecting members. Learning how to set traps was amusing as well. She set down traps in random hallways. The first time she caught Hidan. The second, Deidara. In response Hidan cursed her out. She didn't let him out until he shut up. Deidara however, merely called her a nuisance. She laughed and actually agreed. Sasori also helped her make her threads more useful. He taught her to use them as chakra strings. She didn't make a very good puppeteer, but it helped with trapping opponents and controlling kunai. She wasn't able to beat Sasori either, but he hasn't been able to beat her anymore. After a while, it always ended in a draw.
The next animal she recieved was a fish. A small shark to be precise. After that she did a lot of training in the water. Due to the fish she could breathe underwater. It felt strange not to breathe normally though. She also swam far better. A small amount of webbing formed on her hands and feet. Tobi told her, that when she used it with her other power, she looked like a sea monster.
The next one was a dog. It wandered around the base for a few days before she finally caught it. It was a beautiful dog that resembled a mix of a German Shepard and a bloodhound. After she finally caught it she found that it increased her sense of smell. The next few days she went exploring on her nose, memorizing scent. She made sure to remember the smell of each of the members, although, she was stared at for randomly smelling the members. When they asked her what she was doing, she simply told them that she was training. This just confused them. All of them, except Tobi of course. Like always he was there helping and keeping her company.
A few weeks later she received the next one. A crow. A beautiful black crow. Unfortunately for her or rather, for the Akatsuki, it didn't want to come quietly. As soon as Mika obtained it, it took over. Sprouting two large black feathery wings she took off into the sky. It took them over a day to get her down. After, when she had learned how to control it properly, she would irritate Deidara until he let Tobi use one of his clay birds to fly with her. She made sure it wasn't the exploding type.
After training for a few more weeks, her genjustu and ninjutsu skills had increased. She still preferred her animals though. Eventually, Leader began sending her on missions. Most were random assassinations. They didn't matter. They were always simple. Others were errand's for Leader. He was known as the "God" of the rain village, so there were things to be done. Once, her and Tobi were sent to find a jinchurriki. The person had a demon inside of them and was supposedly very powerful. She expected it to be hard, but the mission was extremely easy. The girl in question was an outcast. Her whole town hated her. When we came and took her, she almost seemed, happy.
The good thing about the missions was that she got a chance to get out of the base and explore. This meant more opportunity to find an animal. One found on a mission was a chameleon. She could changed her skin color, and the color of her clothes to match her surroundings. This one made life enjoyable. She was able to jump from nowhere and surprise random members. She had to wary of who she did it to though. Deidara and Hidan were fun, but if she bothered members such as Itachi, she was likely to face the Mangekyo Sharingan. That was one thing she didn't want to happen again.
One day stood out amoung all the others. One day, after training, she met with Tobi and decided to ask what had been on her mind for a long time. She had been there for almost a year and a half, and still hadn't asked.
"Um Tobi?"
"Yes Mika-chan?"
"What do you look like?"
"Tobi looks like Tobi."
Mika smiled. "Well what does your face look like?"
"Tobi's face?"
"Yeah."
"Would you like to see?" There was an odd change in his voice. The childishness was gone.
"Um... yeah..."
"Alright, But it's between you and me. Promise?" She nodded.
"I promise." As if internally debating if he should or not, he slowly reached up. Then hesitating only once more, he pulled off the mask. Underneath lie a face that looked nothing like she thought. Instead of the childish happy face that she expected, she was met with a face of pure maturity and seriousness. He was much older than anyone would have guessed. What shocked her the mot though, was the eyes. The Sharingan was blazing brightly at her. The shock was evident on her face. When he saw it, he chuckled. His laugh wasn't the silly laugh she was used to. The only word she could use was that his laugh had gotten... darker.
"Uchiha?"
"Yes. You are correct. No one else is to know though." Then smiling, he kissed her on the head. Almost like a parent would do to their child. Although it was meant as a sign of friendship and comfort, it only reminded her how no one cared.
"Gaara did."
"Yes but he's not here anymore."
A single tear slid down her face at the memory. She stopped herself before anymore could fall. Tobi still noticed though.
"Are you alright Mika?"
She considered telling him but decided against it. If any of the other members found out, it could be used against her. "Nothing. It's nothing Tobi."
He nodded. Then he began to pull the mask back on. "Just remember Mika," He finished putting the mask on. "This is between you and me." His voice returned to normal. "Does Mika-chan want to go play a trick on Deidara-senpai?"
She smiled softly. "Of course Tobi." Then, forgetting all her trouble, she ran into the base.
End time skip. (I'm going back to normal time. Woot! This is after the time skip people. Right when shippuden is supposed to start.)
It had been nearly two years since she joined the Akatsuki. Everyday she would wake up and spend time with Tobi. Each day he would make her food. She would always offer to share, but he insisted that she ate. It was then, despite the fact that he acted like he was five, he seemed like a parent. She always thought it was odd, but it was true. Most days she would train after eating, but on some days she didn't have today. Today however, she did. Meeting Kisame at a nearby lake she decided to train underwater. She knew it wouldn't be used often, but if she ever fought someone like him, it would be pretty helpful. Using the chameleon, fish, and bear, she took on Kisame. He can't see her and she is able to strike him without him being able to block. She beats him. After the fight she's told by Tobi that she's been summoned to Leader's office. Arriving. she is invited in by Konan.
"You have a new mission. You are going to Sunagakure with Deidara." She made a face at Deidara's name, but it was ignored. "You are to go the the village and capture the Kazekage. Sasori has man stationed there, but I need him here. You are leaving tomorrow morning. I want you to talk to him before you leave. Understood?"
"Yup."
"Find Deidara and inform him as well. Dismissed."
Walking down the hall, she passes the living room. Deidara was sitting on the couch, his hands behind his head and his eyes closed. She smirked. "Excuse me miss?"
He opened his eyes and looked up. "What the hell do you what. un."
She looked at him innocently. "Oh nothing. Leader just says we have a mission tomorrow."
"Whatever. Just go away. Un."
"Are you sure you'll be ready in time ma'am?"
"Get lost!" Pulling a kunai out, he threw it at her. Giggling she danced out of the way. She did things like this often. In between missions she did the best she could to irritate the members. Deidara especially. She didn't hate him completely, just disliked him. It just happened to be amusing to watch his reaction. As she walked back to her room, she felt the familiar pull of energy.
"Sweet!" Darting out the base, it takes a few minutes to find the source. On the ground, is a small turtle. She picks it up. The energy fills her. As it fades she feels a kunai against her throat.
"Use me." The new addition speaks.
"Fine." A small shell-like barrier formed around her body, separating her and the kunai. Almost like a small shield. "Dog." She smelled the air. The realized that it was a familiar scent.
"You know? You're an ass Itachi."
"It's not my fault if you dropped your guard. I was merely proving a point."
"Yeah whatever. I know. I'm too weak. Can you leave?" Smirking at her, he left. "Stupid Uchiha. Now anyway, care to tell me what you do?"
"Well like you saw, you basically get a shield. Or a shell if you wish. Be careful though. It will stop projectiles, but if you get hit hard enough, You'll still get hurt."
"Got it."She entered the base and walked back to her room. She sat down on her bed and sighed. She had never wanted to be here, but it felt now like she belonged. It was her home now. "I guess I'm losing it."
"Possibly."
"Shut it."

That took a while. Ick. I'm sorry that was such an odd chappie. I just wanted to add stuff to the time skip. Anyway. Who can guess what happens when she goes to Suna? You get a cookie if you can guess right. It's kinda obvious anyway.
Gaara- Can I guess?
K- Nope. You already know.
Gaara- I do?
K- Yup! I want reviews people!!
