Disclaimer I own nothing…damn it, well I still own Akatenchii
This first part of this chapter was written by Riley Killer, I take no credit for her truly awesome work
Ch 6
Five days had passed since Akatenchii had set out on her mission, none of her clones had been received all, being destroyed by the Akatsuki, for her all is a matter of waiting now.
In Kirigakure
The small apartment was dimly lit; the shadows created by the candles lit around it flickered becoming darker and lighter as the seconds went by. A small figure sat in mediation in the center of the candle circle, the scents of toasted sugar and vanilla moving through their nostrils as they breathed lightly. Their eyes surrounded by dark circles from never sleeping.
She's been gone for five days now… and no word which isn't like her… the old cunt ain't telling me neither, what's going on god damn it? Their eyes opened, their amber irises lit by the light of the candles, the slight balls of flames reflecting back due to the kekkei genkai deep with in them that was hidden for centuries of fine breeding, they opened their mouth revealing two fangs as they sighed, their pupils narrowing deadly, I should just kill the old hag… Akatenchii would not be happy if I did… hell, I don't think she'd think anything of it really.
The figure slowly looked around the small room, I mean, her and the old bastard are the only ones who know I even exist. They got to their feet, their finger nails slightly curved into claws and their toenails much matching, they how ever were not of any animalistic affinity; they just merely cut their nails that way to form a ragged animal like appearance. Their fangs how ever were most genuine.
A small frown was on their pale lips as they rose above the candles, their short, chin length, boy cut, snow white hair covering their eyes giving them a glowing appearance as they looked around the room, …they keep me in here like some type of animal… how wise they are… the female's shoulders shook in amusement, she slowly let her eyes look over to the wolf mask on the wall, so, if the cat's away, and it's servant hasn't delivered it's position, how long till they send the wolf after it in retrieval? Akatenchii is my only rival in this village… they will know I am the only one who can have even the slight bit of success in retrieving her..
Perhaps she's run away. A cool hissing came into their mind, making the female grin a feral grin, her teeth shining in the light, the animal instinct in them holding some what a point, they reached up and wrapped the slim pony tail that hung from their shaggy hair around their hand, the only groomed thing it seemed on them, Akatenchii run away? She'd no sooner kill herself.
Then perhaps she is dead. The female frowned at this, slowly starting to walk bare feet against the hard wood floor underneath them, their baggy black pants skimming the top of the floor, no, Akatenchii is to valuable for anyone to kill, I've worked with her before, I know how she is, she knows she is a tool and obeys, unlike us who have made it clear we shall not be tamed by any being or force of nature. Her shoulders shook, Akatenchii is a valuable weapon, and she would not be killed. She would be dominated then used.
"So doushite…. Doushite… haven't I been summoned yet…" She frowned and looked up at the ceiling that was dimly lit like the room, this room had no windows, it had no bed; it only had candles, incense, a pillow in the corner with a simple rug underneath it, sectioned off by a line of candles, and the door. She glared at it loathingly, the door was marked with seals to keep her in and fresh air in, to keep her imprisoned till it was time for her to go and do her job.
Claw marks littered the walls as well as bite marks on parts of a shelf that hung out of the wall, simple trinkets on it; this room had driven her insane on more than one occasion. Her arms hung lightly by her side, sleeveless except for the simple white tank top with a black vest over it and red fishnet that hung down, her eyes moved over towards the floor she was on, it was perhaps the only thing that did not match her appearance, it was completely clean except for the candles that were each in a little bowl.
Perhaps they have forgotten about you…. The animal instinct murmured, her eyes narrowed and darted towards the door, silently before they murmured, "No, they wouldn't do that, I to am too valuable… the old man only uses me as a last resort."
Then perhaps there is now someone better. Her eyes narrowed at this thought, and she shook her head, replying, "No, I have killed those besides Akatenchii who are even near remote strength, she is the only one I will listen too, they know she is the only one I give a shit about, there for they would not forget me as I would be more than willing to retrieve her if she wanted to return."
And if she doesn't?
The woman stopped, finding herself at a pause, if her rival didn't want to come back, then… the woman smiled, "I'd have to one up her and kill the ANBU sent to retrieve us both."
Her eyes shut at the thought of blood and screams, she hated these peoples, there were only two people she saw worth listening to, her rival, and the owner of a Sake booth she visited after every mission. Booze was a comfort to her that she could afford, one that dulled the mind enough to allow her to fall into a semi sleep state. Never once had she slept, therefore she was always awake, alert, and on guard, she was the perfect predator, her rest involved sitting down, eating, drinking, then allowing it to digest before moving on.
She pulled her lips back into a low growl, her fist coming back and colliding hard with the wall beside her, her eyes shut, Where Is SHE THEN? Why has no one come by my domain with in the past 24 hours, what the hell is going on? I NEED INFORMATION GOD DAMN IT AND I NEED IT NOW!
Perhaps she is not in trouble; she had just merely decided you are not worth visiting any more. The woman flinched at this, eyes softening slightly behind their lids before they opened, Deshii, Akatenchii was the only link to the outside world that she had, the only one she wouldn't attack if they came in with out permission and disturbed her, she was the only one that was like her, only different, tamed, obedient.
Deshii, Akatenchii was the only one she could safely call 'friend.' If that were the case, if she had indeed stopped seeing her because she thought her unworthy of her time….
I'll kill her. The woman hissed angrily.
She let her fist fall to her side, eyes shut again before muttering lowly, "Where are ya Aka-Ten-Ba?" Using her little nickname that got on the younger woman's nerves, "I need ya here…" She had no news of a mission, so she could not safely presume there was none, perhaps she was on one though, and forgot to tell her, that had happened before, so maybe this time…
Her eyes narrowed hearing the sound of foot steps against the floor, she stood facing the door, darting to the center of the circle of candles, she watched as seals glowed and the door knob turned, her shoulders tensed, waiting quietly as the door slowly opened, a man stood in front of her, his clothing that of a typical ANBU, he froze seeing her glare, her body launching forward as her hand coming forth and stabbing into the eyes of his mask, blood gushed forth immediately, she wasted no time throwing his body to the side as he screamed in pain, shrieking, "WHERE. IS. SHE!"

Akatenchii opened her eyes blinking for a moment as sunlight flooded her senses; she was on someone's shoulder bouncing slightly as he jumped. The past five days had been long and they gotten out of the country and across the sea now, she knew the further she got from the border the more her chance of being rescued diminished, although by now she had decided that there was only one person who had any chance against these people her Nee-San Kira, Ookami.
Hidan jumped silently carrying Akatenchii on his shoulder, they had decided to leave her bound as it was a pain in the ass to catch her and two days ago they had tried to un bind her to give her the option to walk on her own, they had to re-catch her when she decided to run for it, knocking Tobi, and Deidara out and cutting up him up before Zetsu came out of the ground and grabbed her legs yanking her down till she was up to her neck in the earth and could not move.
Akatenchii stared down the back of the person she was on, she could tell that it was Hidan because of the scythe, she rested her chin on his back and sighed, she was bored, covered in dirt, and blood; it was like her genin days all over again…. The easy ones anyways.
Deidara looked at Akatenchii as she stared down Hidan's back "Hey look who is awake." He muttered. "Akatenchii yeah." He continued making her look up at him.
"What do you want tranny?" Her voice was empty.
Deidara's eyes narrowed "You had better watch your tongue yeah." He warned then added "what is under your cloak?"
"Clothes…why?" She had started to become suspicious, whenever one of them ask a question pertaining to her weapons, bag, and or garments it usually meant she was about to lose something.
"Well your usual answer to everything is nothing." Deidara chuckled.
"Why would I say nothing when it is not true?" She asked, the shoulder digging into her stomach was becoming uncomfortable.
"It is your typical answer, so it made me wonder if you had anything but pants below your cloak yeah." Deidara smirked at the thought.
Akatenchii shook her head these men were rude, in the past few days she had almost gotten free and would have if she hadn't been grabbed by Zetsu.
She should have killed Deidara and Tobi when she had the chance she knew this now, but her goal was escape not death, and the wounds she inflicted on Hidan should have killed him, but they didn't and in her moment of pausing she was drug into the ground by the over sized lawn gnome.
"So are you actually going to stay awake or are you going to get your ass beaten today again?" Hidan asked dropping from the tree.
Akatenchii blinked and turned her head towards. "I have intentions of staying awake." She muttered.
"You being such a valuable tool, I am surprised that your Mizukage has not sent anyone after your ass yet." He laughed; Zetsu had destroyed her water clones and set traps so that even if there was an attempt at a rescue, it would not be successful.
"One would think that there is something wrong considering it has been five days, but they may not even find anything suspicious for up to a month." Akatenchii stated blankly.
"A month huh? I would say you are royally fucked then." Hidan sneered, if that was the case the Mist would be out of their precious Anbu.
"I suppose you could say I am fucked." She smirked, or I could say you are fucked, as you will soon have something worse than the devil trailing you.
"You don't seem bothered by the thought." He stated, they had one day before they reached the border of the country.
"Well outside of you people, I can count on one hand how many people know I exist." She looked down his back again resting her chin on his shoulder blade.
"Who the fuck are they?" His voice made her blink, he was demanding but she would dignify him with an answer.
"Not that it matters, but to answer your question, they are my Nee-San, the Mizukage, my weapon crafter, and sponsor, that is it." She stated.
"Well it would seem that you are fucked." Hidan stated. "But you are an Anbu."
"Yeah I am an Anbu." She stated. "Why does it matter?"
"Don't the other Anbu know about you?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Actually no, to them I am a story, I am only sent on solo missions since my Nee-San got put in solitary." She stated "And I am usually sent in after everything has gone to hell and they need the job fixed and cleaned up."
"You are the last resort?" Deidara ask causing her to look up at him.
"Well my Nee-San is the true last resort, if I fail or I am already on another mission." She stated tilting her head to the side.
"Your older sister?" Hidan asked. "You have a sister?"
"Kira, Ookami Nee-San is three years older than me, she is the closest thing I have ever had to a friend and we have declared that we are each others family." Akatenchii explained.
"So she isn't your sister." Deidara stated.
"She is not my sister by blood, but she has taken care of me since I was a child and taught me everything I know." She murmured.
"So you two have a bond like sisters." Tobi stated walking around from the other side of Hidan.
"I suppose you can say that, she and I are rivals and friends, we are the only ones who could kill each other, but we won't." She looked at Tobi. "I suppose it doesn't matter but if they send anyone after me, they will send her."
Hidan stopped and looked at the woman on his shoulder. "You say that like they won't send anyone else." He stated.
"Well she only works with me; if they send her with other Anbu she will kill them the instant they get in her way, she is the wolf, she will not fail, so when she gets here unless I stop her, you guys are fucked." She stated closing her eyes and laying her chin against his shoulder blade again.
Zetsu looked at Akatenchii. "She sounds like a monster." He chuckled. "Maybe Leader-sama should hear about her, she could prove useful, or she could die because you are stubborn." He smirked and disappeared into the ground.
"You will not be able to kill her, or capture her and as soon as she sees me, you will bring forth her rage." She stated, opening her eyes as they started jumping again.
Back in Kirigakure
Her eyes glowed behind her mask she had slipped on as the door opened; she stood over the body for a moment before slowly looking to the left at the man with a hat on, the kanji on the hat read 'Mizukage.' She stared glaring at her from underneath the hat, the old eyes boring into her before she turned to him, her hair brushing the forehead of her mask, before she hissed, "Where is Aka-Ten-Ba? What the Hell is Going ON?" The woman let a snarl slip onto her face, her disrespect disgusted her, but no matter how many times she had beaten her it was never extinguished from her fire like temper.
She took a calming breath, the animal in front of her staring at her with killing intent, she was the only thing that unnerved her, Akatenchii and herself had been brought up together, trained together, beaten together, and while Akatenchii learned, this THING became an animal, obedient to no one but who they chose, sadly, she was the last resort, the only choice. She opened her mouth, knowing the wave of fury that was to come.
"Deshii, Akatenchii, has been abducted on an informant mission by the Akatsuki."
She watched the being in front of her tense, the man beside them now dead, the blood pooling around him, slowly they lifted their mask, staring at him, her pale skin glowed in the fluorescent lights, her black outline around her eyes making them always seem to contrast the rest of her face, the single black mark above her right ear that moved across her face till stopping under her left eye at a point making her eyes all the more noticeable.
"Abducted?" She repeated. He slowly nodded, shifting in his robes. "Are you serious? How the FUCK did that happen? Akatenchii is not an amateur, so this better not be some joke bitch!" The Mizukage pulled her lips back into a snarl, her hands clenching into fists as she hissed, "Do you think I have not tried other options? You Know What You Are!"
The woman was silent for a moment, eyes narrowing before she murmured in a dull voice, "Know what I am? Yes, I suppose to Do. I also know you're an Old Hag, and Akatenchii is my friend, so…what is it I have to do?"
The Mizukage sighed, eyes half lidded, of course, if it had to do with the beast's precious 'Aka-Ten-Ba' she would obey, she'd give her life, she scoffed, she was the only one Akatenchii allowed in. She glared before murmuring, "You are to leave the village, retrieve Akatenchii, and then get her back here safely." She turned to leave.
"I want my baby." Her voice was a soft purr, soft, but deadly, "And I want it before I leave." She turned on her heel, snarling to her, "Are you insane, do you think we would give you something like that after last time?" She marched forward and slammed the small woman against the wall, her mask still up, her eyes narrowing, "You killed 10 of my finest ANBU, you slaughtered them with out mercy, and what for! A Candy Bar?"
"I Was On My Period Cunt!" She shrieked, "And I NEEDED CHOCOLATE! It's NOT MY FAULT YOUR FUCKING ANBU CAN'T HANDLE A BIT OF MY BAB-" She was cut off by a kunai slamming into her shoulder, her eyes narrowing as she backed away, yanking it out. She stood silently as she hissed, "Get out of the village, and do your job, Wench." Before leaving.
She stared after her then down at the blood on her shoulder glaring, we should kill her.
