Thank you for reading!
Emerarudo's P.O.V.
It wasn't until the smell of chicken that reached my nose that I realized how hungry for a real meal I actually was.
The first week had been tough for me; it was harder to adjust to the normal - rather jungle - life than I thought.
I cried myself to sleep every night and cursed my brother for doing this to all of us.
I put the thoughts of my brother aside and looked around the restaurant instead, it wasn't the best restaurant I've been in but it was good enough for my position right now.
It was small and you had to traditionally sit on the floor. The food wasn't as great as the food back home in the palace but the hunger made me eat it all and even order another meal.
I could totally see my brother who frowned at me whenever I ate a lot and warned me about getting fat but the smile was sad.
I took a deep breath and looked up at a person in front of me, his numbers shone in my head, he had many many years ahead of him, he was going to die happy. I smiled.
Itachi's P.O.V.
I was lying on the grass in the woods outside of the Uchiha compound when I finally remembered. I sat up with a gasp.
I've thought about it in over a week, there was something I had forgotten, I knew it, and now I remembered.
I was supposed to rescue a girl, and I forgot. I muttered curse words, which was unusual or me as I ran out of the village towards the place I found her.
I still remember every single detail about her appearance. I closed my eyes, her beauty was not something you'd forget in the first place, yet I did.
I muttered even more swear words when I approached the tree. She wasn't there, obviously. I looked around, where could she have gone?
I sighed and sat down exactly where she had been sitting a week ago, a week was a long time, she could be anywhere.
I closed my eyes again. Who was she?
Emerarudo's P.O.V.
I thanked the host and stepped out of the restaurant. I had no idea where I was but I knew it was safe here, either no one knew about me or they didn't care. I kept a low profile anyways when I walked around in city.
"Aw, these are so cute, thanks!", I said and smiled to the guy who sold necklaces in the streets. I took the bag and looked around, it has darkened and I suddenly felt weird. Not as many people were in this part if the town so I deicded to go back the same way I came from.
"Ema-chaaaan..".
I stopped immediately. That voice..
I looked into the dark alley, no it couldn't be..
"Ema-chaaaan..", again. It definitely came from the alley and not from inside my head, I decided to just explore what it was, I took a few steps into the alley and looked back, I would have a chance to run out if I had to.
"Deidara?", I yelled.
I frowned; it smelled like urine and garbage. Why the hell would Deidara ever step in into such environment?
It all happened fast, a pale person with a huge tongue appeared in front of me with a smirk and everything went black. The last thing I thought was how stupid I was for thinking Deidara would be waiting for me like this in a dark alley.
It stung in my eyes when I tried to open them, I had no idea where I was and when I finally could open my eyes I looked up in a white ceiling, it was empty except from an annoying yellow bulb. I focused my eyes on a small black dot above me instead, trying to figure out where I was and why I was here.
"Is she awake?" a cold horrifying voice sad.
I automatically shut my eyes tightly.
"Yes, she is", a younger lighter voice said.
I heard footsteps that came closer to me and his rotten breath burned like an asphyxiant as he said "That's it, young lady. Open your eyes".
I opened my eyes slowly and recoiled when I saw his nasty face barely two cm from mine.
"Good", he said and smirked awfully. "You know what to do, Kabuto", he finished and was gone in a puff of smoke.
What?
The young man with grey hair in a ponytail and glasses sat down on a chair next to me.
"What?", I muttered and looked at him with annoyance.
"You better work with us or…", he started.
"Or what?", I interrupted.
He looked at me and smiled, not nicely whatsoever. I shivered.
"We saved your life actually; in return Lord Orochimaru wants you to work for him".
"Lord who", I said even though I knew he talked about the nasty snakelike man.
"You're staying here until further notice", he continued. "Lord Orochimaru comes with more information tomorrow"
He disappeared.
Akatsuki meeting.
'Drip, drip, drip, drip'
Small water drops was dripping from the ceiling of cave to the ground.
It was damp and cold in the huge cave and the members of the Akatsuki waited silently for the leader to start speaking.
All the members were called this time and it wasn't even for a mission that involved any of the tails, they could already tell.
"Welcome", Pain began.
Hidan rolled his eyes. The whole meeting annoyed him already."
"I'm here to inform you that we're going to recruit two new members".
The current members started to mumble quietly but were silenced by Pain who continued.
"They're currently both missing-nins that could be anywhere; we also need to be very careful with how we proceed with these two.
"Who are they?" Kakazu exclaimed impatiently.
"They are son and daughter of the deceased Tsuchikage. Siblings. Deserted their village not many years ago".
"What?", Kisame yelled. "Why must we bring some young brats to Akatsuki for?"
"They both have great abilities that we need, Kisame", Pain said calmly.
Kisame opened his mouth to reply but Pain continued.
"Kisame, Itachi and Sasori. You recruit the boy that is later going to be your partner, Sasori. I, myself will try to find the girl" Pain finished. "You're all dismissed".
