Violated. Defiled. Infracted. Amai felt all of this. She hugged her knees as she sat on her bed, now locked in her prison once again.

Why me? She asked herself.

She was deep in thought, why had they chosen her? Why had they been willing to break her wings, put her in pain, and violate her dignity, if they wanted her to work by their side?

Yet her own life had been violated long ago... She remembered the faces of everyone around her, when they had seen what she was.

"Evil..."

"Ungodly creature."

"Doesn't deserve a life."

These were the things that they had whispered about her. Did they not see her for who she was? Why did they not realize they were scarring her? She didn't have to have mercy on anyone. Alas she did.

I just want to be loved... she recalled. A feeling that was still true today. A knock came at her door and she wondered who it could be in the late hours of the night. Of course she couldn't open the door herself, so she waited unitl she heard the click of the locks. A man stood, in the same cloak, a twisted orange mask, dark hair was spiked over the mask. He held a red rose in his hand, of abnormal size.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"Tobi. And you are Amai right?" he asked, sounding slightly nervous. His voice was not serious in the least, which relaxed her tremendously. She nodded.

"Yay I got it right! Hi I'm Tobi!" he trilled like a child. Amai couldn't supress the smile pulling at the corners of her mouth.

"Hello Tobi. Can I help you with something?"

"Actually yes!" he sounded quite happy,

'You see, I have this rose for you. It isn't from me though! My Deidara-Senpai got it for you!"

"That pervert?" She sneered.

"Wait! You see it's an 'I'm so sorry gift!'" he said almost too eager. Amai was skeptic.

"You see, Deidara-Senpai isn't used to modesty, we're all very open. To anything. So it was in turn an accident on his part, he didn't think you might not be used to a man seeing you naked."

"Why didn't he come give me the damn rose himself?"

"Pein-Sama has him in the medic room. I promise. Please take it." he begged.

Amai sat for a moment soaking this all in. It was so hard for her to hate anyone that didn't hate her. So maybe she'd forgive him just this once. She sighed and reached out for the rose. Tobi's eyes lit up like fire.

"Amai-Senpai! Thank you, thank you!" he said rushing over and pulling her into a tight hug. He laid the rose on her bedspread and exited.

She pinched the bridge of her nose and glanced over at the rose. Picking it up she was careful not to disturb it's beauty. Delicate beauty. Then inhaled it's scent softly. It was beautiful, she could not deny this. Nor could she deny Deidara's apology, she could feel it intwined with it's every fiber. Pushing past the inner blocks she inhaled deeper. Past the trails of blood from her past that screamed at her to turn away. Amai Inhaled it's very essence. Dropping the black, stiff rose next to her, she burried her face in her hands and cried.

You know what you are... You don't need to hide it from yourself. her inner cooed, trying to stop the flow of tears. She hated crying but knew no other way to let the emotions she kept locked inside out.

But you must do all that you can to hide it from... Them.

They cannot know.

You can still honor him. Without chakra you can preserve it.

She picked up the rose with a light hand, and hung it upside down on her canopy. Turning away she snuggled under the blankets on her bed. Having no wish to go home, she let herself settle here. It would be her new home and she needed to embrace this. Besides... It was better than where she was before. But her father... He would have to manage. She dared not to think about him. And soon she drifted off to sleep.

Pein gazed at the oak of his desk, fingers pressed to his lips. He was deep in thought, about the little kunoichi he'd found. She would be an imense asset, once he could figure out what her true power was. His thoughts drifted to Deidara's ribs, the kunoichi had reached in to his chest, and snapped his ribs. With no intent to kill, she was surely trying to hurt him enough to get away.

Turning he saw Itachi standing in the doorway to his office.

"Yes. Come in." He said.

"Where's Deidara?"

"He's finishing up in the medic room and coming here."

Itachi nodded. They stood like this in akward silence, it was almost custom to them. Soon the sound of footsteps echoed close to the office and Deidara stepped through the door with a flourish.

"Well Karin managed to heal my ribs!" he said excited.

"Is she off?" Pein asked.

"Yep. She'll be back when we send for her."

Pein nodded and sat back in his chair. He sighed closing his eyes for a moment. When he opened them Deidara, and Itachi, were looking at him.

"I should have briefed you on what you two had to do today."

This surprised them both.

"I should start at the beginning. A long time ago when I was but eighteen I ran across a woman. She was probably the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes upon, well she was before I met Amai. She had something I wanted, and I had full plans on taking it. I didn't know... she had wings... and pulled my soul from my body, and almost ate it. I barely escaped with my life. Her Chakra blazed in ammounts I had never seen before, it poured from her. My soul was so easily slipped from me."

"So? Is that what Amai does? Because she never once tried stealing my soul." Deidara said, Itachi nodded in agreement.

"I don't know what she can do. Anyways. I couldn't stop thinking about it. So I researched it. Within this time, I found of a creature they call a succubus, a seductive female demon. They lure men into bed and sleep with them, then put the seed of the man into a woman, producing spawn. A human, with the chakra of an otherworldly creature. I'm not saying that's what Amai is... but we'll find that out soon enough."

"What is her asset to this organization?"

"Her sheer power. She is indeed something we need if we hope to capture all the Tailed Beasts and to rule the world. Besides losing members is a terrible fall to us, we need another to replace one lost." Pein said.

"Tomorrow Deidara and Tobi will be going to her village to find out if anyone misses her. Dress casually. No need to attract attention. And Itachi... Tomorrow your job is to take care of her, and get into her mind. Look at her memories and see her powers. Now you are dismissed." he said turning.

"Yes Pein-Sama." They both said in unison, and were gone.

"Ugh... I am so going to bed..." Deidara said.

"I am too..." Itachi said.

"But someone should check on Amai at times during the night. I'll take first." Deidara said. Itachi was relieved, he was extremely tired and sore. He stopped at his door and bid Deidara a good night.

Deidara was walking down to the last door on the left in the hallway. His room wasn't far off. Just on the right even farther down the hall. He rapped lightly on Amai's door. When he got no response he unlocked the door and stepped in. The light had been left on and Amai was cuddling under the blankets, her breathing suggested she was asleep.

I should turn her light off... He thought. Walking lightly he approached the bedside table that held her lamp. Glancing down at her face he froze. She was absoluetly gorgeous. Before he hadn't had time to study her face. Her features were sharp and tight, her lips wonderfully full. The eyelashes on her eyes cast shadows on her pleasant cheeks. Slightly pink from sleep. Catching his breath she moved, her breasts popping from the top of her nightgown.

He really wished at that moment that he'd paid attention to her when he'd walked in on her. Her skin was blossomy pale, it reminded him of peach blossoms. Swallowing hard he fought the urge to touch her. He wanted to caress her soft shimmery skin. Wanted to get to know her, wanted to protect her. To claim her. He shook his head quickly. No nonsense like that. Instead he tore his gaze away and looked to the black catching his eye. The blood red rose he had given her earlier, hung upside down on her bed curtain, charred and black. It was already dead.

How in the fuck? How does that happen in two hours?!

Looking down at her one last time, his heart beat hard. He shut of the light and left her room.

"Tobi please stop bouncing. Tobi. Tobi!" Deidara snapped at Tobi who was clearly over excited for their mission.

"Oh Deidara-Senpai I'm sorry! I'm just so excited! Master Pein hasn't given us a mission in a long, long time."

Deidara sighed, feeling slightly terrible,

"I know I just don't see the point in bouncing around. And why don't you take off that mask?"

Tobi touched the mask lightly with his fingertips.

"Do I have to Senpai?"

"I would. If you need to use your sharingan, you'll be able to do that easier without it." Deidara said softly.

"Oh fine Senpai, if you say so!" He giggled, flipping the mask off. He pinned it to his waist and skipped ahead.

Deidara could never seem to get over how Tobi looked without his mask. Any woman would want him, he was so good looking. He had genes familiar, yet unfamiliar. It always made him wonder who he knew that looked like Tobi. Sighing Deidara's thoughts drifted back to last night, right before he went to sleep. Of Amai...

He brushed the tip of her picture in his pocket. Maybe he would keep it when the mission was over, if no one asked for it. He wanted to paint her. As they darted through the trees and made their way to the Village Hidden in the Waterfall, Deidara contemplated this more and more. He could give it to her as a gift, or keep it all for himself. Maybe he should paint two... or four. He shook his head sharply again. He'd paint one and give it to her as a gift. Another appology gift. He stopped on a tree branch and glanced down at the village.

"It's time Tobi."

"Yes Senpai. My name is Khota Senri, and you are Eita Daichi. We are shinobi from the Leaf Village looking for Amai." he recited.

"Good. Don't worry though, I'll do most of the talking."

The Village Hidden in the Waterfall was beautiful. Deidara could hear the crash of the water, and smell the water lillies. He however, was not here to enjoy it, for he had a mission. Walking to a vendor selling fabrics, Deidara pulled the picture out of his pocket.

"Excuse me sir. Have you seen this girl? We are shinobi from the Hidden Leaf Village and we need to speak to her."

The older man glanced up warily, and looked at the picture. His eyes widened.

"What business might you have with this girl?"

"We aren't allowed to share." Tobi said. His voice was completely deep and different.

"I'm a friend of her father's. She didn't come home yesterday night. He's really worried."

"What can you tell me about her?"

"I can't tell you anything sorry. Go ask her father. He lives in the house closest to the waterfall. Be careful though, he's greiving his loss."

Deidara couldn't tell if the man was sad for Amai's leaving or if he was relived. They hiked up to the house the man had said and knocked on the door. A large man, the size of a wall opened it. His hair was black, eyes dark, with circles underneath them.

"Can I help you?" he asked. His voice told them he'd been crying.

"Um yes. I am Eita Daichi and this is my partner Khota Senri, we are shinobi from the Leaf Village looking for your daughter Amai."

The man narrowed his eyes,

"What would you need with my daughter?"

"Would you mind if we came in and explained?"

"Please." he said. Stepping inside to let the two strangers in.

"Go ahead and sit there. Do you want some tea?" his voice was straining kindness.

"No thank you."

"Aw but Senpa-" Tobi began before Deidara slapped a hand over his mouth. He took a breath and waited for the man to seat himself across from them. They had been given a story to tell, that she had gotten into some trouble with a boy from "their" village and the boy was now dead. They weren't exactly blaming her, they just needed to talk to her.

"So you see... If we could just have a moment of her time we could sort out everything and be done with it."

"I believe you... but my daughter didn't come home last night."

"Did she run away?" Deidara said in fake-disbelief.

"No... she would never leave without telling me. She's always so eager to come home. I really miss her."

"Well we're looking for her too. So don't worry. We're bound to find her soon."

The man's eyes lit up and a shock of hope ran across his face.

Uh-oh. Here it comes.

"Will you please tell her to come home? Tell her that I love her and I really miss her? In fact- here I've written a letter to her. Please give it to her." he said handing Deidara an envelope. Deidara sighed and nodded. It was all he could do.

"Thank you for your time. And come back when you want." Amai's father said. They had lightened his mood.

"Well we did good huh Senpai? Can we get tea now?"

"Oh I suppose so."

Amai squirmed under the pressure of her chakra. Most of it was rushing to her wings to repair the damage. But it also assesed the damage done to her abdomen. She had endured the painful yet relieving feeling for almost ten minutes. By which time Pein would snap the feather back on, her wings would go back into her body.

"I'm doing it now." He said. The feeling of chakra pouring into her body all at once knocked the breath from her lungs. Usually she did it herself, but slowly. Handing her some pain killers he waved her away.

This is already making my back sore. She thought.

"We aren't done yet Little Angel. You and I have some business to attend to." Itachi told her flatly in her room.

"Okay." she nodded. He closed the door and turned to her.

"I need you to lie on the bed for me."

"What?!"

"Lie down. If you don't comply I will knock you cold. I promise."

Her heart beat hard and red rose to her face. She moved to the bed and got onto it slowly, never looking at him.

"D-do you want me to take this off?" she asked trembling, tugging at the yukata she wore.

"No, I can do it with it on."

So he's that kind of guy!

"If you aren't at least going to act like you want it then knock me out! I will not give my body to someone who won't app-" she stopped. He was staring at her, eyebrows cocked.

"What do you think I'm asking for? I just want you to lie flat on the bed."

"Oh..." She was so embarassed. Nearly diving upon the pillows she wanted to disappear. She heard his footsteps approaching her.

"Look at me kunoichi." he murmured. She opened her eyes to meet his. A beautiful red spread before her, heavily framed with dark lashes.

"No go under." He whispered. She soon drifted off into blackness.

Itachi was confused... He couldn't seem to make any sense of what was spread before him.

Amai Murasaki, age seventeen, height 5'3'', weight 117. Birth village: Village Hidden in the Stars. Biological parents: Kimmimaro Murasaki, and Sayaka Murasaki. Both from the Hidden Stars Village. By age three she was brought to the Waterfall Village. It seems she barely knew this... For moving there was her first memory.

Itachi began to filter through her memories. Her life was full of happiness and content. The love her parents gave her was more than she could ask for. Her father taught her the ways of the shinobi, and taught her to fight. He made sure she could hold her own. Though Amai knew of something running deep in her like an ocean. It was her chakra. Her parents knew of this and feared it. They had no idea why she had this, or where it came from. Only that they couldn't let it out.

Itachi then came to a hault. He saw that some of her memories were blurry.

She's supressed some of them. I can't get past them to see anything else either... I am forced to stop.

He sighed, sitting back. Slightly annoyed, he pushed the locks of hair that had fallen back. She was breathing peacfully, eyes almost closed. A glint of yellow shown through the eyelashes that were so dark and heavy. Itachi stared. He'd never seen a creature so beautiful in all his life. The feeling he felt stirring in his chest confirmed that. He pushed the shock of lilac hair falling in her face away. Her skin was like flowers. Turning away he walked out to report his findings and figure out a solution to this problem.

Waking up was somehow painful for Amai. Her head and back throbbed making everything ache. Reaching for the bottle of pain killers on the table beside her, she grabbed the glass of water that had been placed next to her. What had Itachi done to her? Whatever it was she was so drained, she could barely think straight. A light knock came at her door.

"Come in." she said softly. Deidara was carrying another tray of food. This time it was a large bowl of rice with fish.

"Hungry?" he asked. His voice was unusually kind and he looked strange.

"Yes. Are you okay Deidara-San?" she asked. He nodded. Almost too eagerly. Placing the tray in front of her he turned to walk out.

"No- I mean, wait, are you busy now?" She asked suddenly in need of companionship.

"I'm free."

"Will you sit with me please? I need someone to talk to. I'm tired of being isolated." she murmured. He nodded and sat on the edge of her bed.

"So where are you from?" she asked him.

His light smile made her heart jump for some reason.

"Hidden Rock Village." he said cleanly. They sat in silence. Deidara couldn't take any more of it. It was almost torture, for he wanted to hear that lovely voice she posessed.

"Why do you like this place so much?" she asked him suddenly. He was taken aback by this.

"Like it? Well I like it because it's a chance for me."

"What kind of chance?" She asked.

"It's a chance I never would have had if Itachi had never showed me I had it. I can be something now. I can rule things. That is our goal here. To rule the world."

"Don't you miss your home village? Your family?"

"I miss my little sister. That is really all."

"I miss my mom... and my dad." she muttered to her rice. Suddenly his hand was on hers. Her head shot up. The look in his eyes was something she'd never seen before.

"It will be okay. I'll be your friend." He smiled.

"Thank you."

"Um... If it's okay... I want to get to know you better." he said. She looked up at him and narrowed her eyes. Was he playing with her? She didn't know. For some reason however she agreed.

"When you're done I get to take you to the bathroom to shower. Hehe." He said.

"As I guessed." She said and ate the rest of her fish and rice.

"Do you guys bathe together here?"

"Um sometimes yes. If we need to go somewhere or we have to stick to a schedual, I'll often meet Itachi in the bathroom yes."

"I guess I'll have to get used to it." she blew out a puff of air.

"Though, I've alredy been violated." she added.

"Violated? Do you mean the body inspection?"

"Yeah."

He laughed lightly.

"It's not meant as a violation Amai. I got it too when I first got here."

She started at that. Thinking of his lean body being probed by Pein's long fingers scared her. Shaking her head she let him know she was ready to go.

Two Days Prior

Amai spent most of her time near a small river, runoff the waterfall created. She liked to train there. This was the only place that could give her the peace she needed. No one there to stare her down with unforgiving eyes. She clutched a small waterlilly in her hands, playing with it's waxy delicate petals. No one gave her much attention here, didn't bother her. She was deep in thought when she felt the atmosphere around her change. Everything was quiet... Much too quiet, even the creek seemed mute. Someone was here, blocking the area behind her like a wall. Freezing she reached out with her chakra, tentatively. She could sense nothing different, but her body was completely aware of the stranger. Maybe that was her second chakra but she knew, there was someone there.

Two fingers were suddenly on the spots in between her shoulder blades, hitting the chakra spots painfully hard. The power of the chakra made her wings explode from her body. This put her face first in the water. Pushing up to rest on her elbows she made herself think clearly, ignore the pain, and think. She got to her feet and looked at her surroundings. There in the disance stood a very tall figure, cloaked in black, red clouds swirled about the cloak. His face was beautifully constructed, onyx eyes, masculine features, his skin was like white porcelain.

Danger, react now. The inner part of her thought warily. It was fighting to bring her to her senses. The other part of her needed to awaken.

"Who are you?" she asked. Her voice was very dominant and calm. When he didn't answer she smirked.

"What do you want?"

His finger pointed to her and then things erupted. A blur of black and the stranger was two feet away from her, forming hand signs.

"Fire Style; Fire Ball Jutsu!" he said. Amai rolled away quickly,

"Water Style; Raging Waves Jutsu." She said and with it released an immense amount of chakra. The giant gush of water colided with the fire and exploded. Flying back the nin ran toward her with a large katana, she readied herself. As he came near her she took flight,

"Ice Style... Black Dragon Outburst Snowstorm." She said. The large black ice dragon rose from the ground, and shot toward the man on the ground. His body was ravaged by the dragon. Amai took her chance... She contemplated where he was through the ice, and dove. She was going to use her chakra to rip his heart out. Her hand glowed the color of blood, a unique chakra, as she approached his chest. Making contact with his chest, she felt her hand begin to slide in...

A hand on her ankle pulled her away from him and whipped her back into the river. She glanced up to see another shinobi clad in black and red. This one was a blonde, with a shock of hair blocking one of his eyes. The other was blue. He rode on a large white bird made from clay.

"Well hello there. It's my turn to have some fun." he said. She narrowed her eyes at him.

"What makes you think this'll be fun blondie?" she asked. He snickered. His hands reached behind him. Then crushing something in each of them, he smirked,

"We'll see then."

She flew higher than him and threw needles made of ice in his direction. He dodged them almost easily. He rode up toward her and tossed what looked like small clay birds.

"Water Style; Water Dragon Jutsu!" she said quickly. The dragon and the birds hit each other creating a large explosion that knocked Amai back. At some point smoke had been created. Peering through it Amai was sure the guy was dead. Both of them had to be... This was good, her inner didn't need to come out! She did it on her own.

A click sounded at her ears, she glanced over to see clay spiders on her wings. She had only enough time to widen her eyes before they exploded. Wings snapped, and burned, she fell to the ground. The blonde and the guy with the black hair waited for her. She hit the ground with a hard thud. The breath being knocked from her lungs she forced herself to her feet. Pushing chakra to her lungs she was able to breathe, a most wonderful feeling. Anger welled up in her. She looked up at them. The blonde is the one she saw first. Chakra glowed red on her hands. Soon she was upon him, hands reaching into his chest. The feeling of sliding past his sternum, her hands found his ribcage. Grabbing two she snapped them completely.

He screamed in pain and pushed her back. Amai hit the ground again. But scrambled to her feet and ran off into the forest as fast as her legs could carry her. With the help of chakra of course. Her hand dripped with blood.
