A/N: I decided to upload this chapter today because I had to get it written down while it was in my head. I understand the 'dark voice' might be confusing to some people but when it's like this its the dark voice inside her head or when it's like this its her own voice. the italic is when she is thinking and its bold when its the other voice. Sowwy it confused you but I just wanted to make it clear from here on. Any other questions just PM me.

Yet again I was swimming in the dark. I was enjoying it too, actually until I heard the unfortunately familiar voices accompanied by a few not so familiar. I opened my eyes woozily. Everything went quiet. I didn't get to observe my surroundings before I was in pain. A burning sensation was on my leg. If I wasn't awake then, I was now. I bit my tongue from yelling out. It was more of a surprised kind of yelp than a painful one.

I turned to look at the perpetrator having to lift my head to see over my chest, and it was a man with blue-tinted skin who smiled at me with pointy white teeth. Before I could question why he did that my view was blocked by the red-head I saw in the forest, "Who are you? What were you doing here? Where are you from?" he said so fast if I wasn't paying attention I would have been able to make out what he said.

It was then I realized I was on some sort of table, tied down with restraints. One on each limb, cold and tightly bound. The table was made out of stone, the only way I knew is the grooves on the rocky surface. Sharp jagged edges poked and prodded at my exposed skin.

"Which one you want me to answer first?" My voice was now softer and a lot more innocent than the one that left my lips earlier. He a little sign of bewilderment flashed in his eyes, then was gone in a blink. "Let's start at, who you are." Another voice stated, I didn't recognize this one so I turned my head to face behind me to view the newcomer. It was another one of the cloaked members but this one had metal piercings covering his face and with this face came wisdom, a wisdom that you can only obtain from living a harsh livelihood for so long. As it was etched on his face and behind his eyes that he knew a lot about life in general.

"I will only ask you one more time. Who are you." The voice walked closer and stood right next to my head now gripping my hair. I was pulled out of my hazy thoughts and saw that he was like a mountain lion ready to attack. "Isn't it rude for you not to introduce yourself to your own company first?" My sharp tongue was in my control now, my voice was now soft and almost sweet. The slightly burnt orange haired man bent towards my some more to look into my eyes, another stare down.

The blue man by my feet took a few steps backwards before chuckling behind his hand. I shifted my gaze to him as of why he would back up and cover his mouth, my eyes narrowing. I found out, the man who stood over me was now strangling me, he sat atop of my form on the table. I didn't flinch, I wasn't scared, I should have been but oddly I wasn't. Only a smirk grew on my lips, I felt him adding more pressure that only gave him an even darker grin.

"hm." Was all he said as he let me go, "The name is Pein but as long as we keep you here you will only recall me as Leader-sama. Kisame take her to a holding cell, have Deidara watch over her for the time being." Pein walked off into the darkly lit room. He stopped for a second, "Oh and call on Tobi and Itachi. I need to have a word with them." Then he was gone.

There was a silence for a few more moments, then the one called Kisame stepped back up to my legs waving his hand over the restraints on my legs and they loosened and eventually unfastened. He did this to the ones on my hands, then forcefully grabbed my shoulder and sat me up pulling me off my stone bed. I didn't resist but I did snort at the shark lie man.

The man took my shoulder in his hand about to lead me out of the room when I spoke up. "Umm Kisame?" my voice was small and quiet. He stopped his actions to look at me. "Yeah?" his face looked irritated. "Where are we?" His facial expression did a 180, he now looked amused. "You'll figure out that soon enough."

He led my down the a cave like hallway, turning several times I kept account of what ways we turned if I needed I get out of here 'left, right, left, left, right ,left, left, right, right, and left again.' We stopped and I looked up wondering how far underground we were. He pulled me forward into a doorway, moans could be heard.

I disregarded the cries and pleas coming from prison cell like structures all around me. There were dozens of them, some empty some, not so empty. He led me the every end of the chamber, "Here, you will be staying in this cell. I made sure to keep you as far from the others as I could." He unlocked the cell with the wave of his hand like he did with the restraints and gently pushed me inside. I nodded to his words.

I didn't try and fight him or anything of the sort but I did ask one more question. "Kisame?" my voice was a little but louder this time due to the clouded noises from the others, "Yeah?" he locked the door and faced me. "What was that thing you burned my leg with?" I stared, trying to peek at my leg without being noticed, close to the ground waiting for a reply. "That's for me to know and you to find out little girl." He laughed and turned around leaving only his echo behind.

'Prick. I'm not that little….am I' I walked back to the farthest corner of my cell against the back wall and sat down. I gazed up at the four coin sizes holes to let in light through the ceiling. I sighed silently to myself.

I took this time to actually observe my body for the first time to see why they had to call me little. I grazed my hands over my body as I observed myself. I was wearing thin dark green pants and a loose-fitting undershirt that was torn, worn out, and ever discolored from age and no shoes. I let my fingers graze my unmarked skin over my thin arms.

'How did I do that? Was that even me? What happened? Why couldn't I control my own body? I mean it is my own body right?' I shook my head now tired of thinking. I pulled up my leg pants seeing if I had any other unexpected surprises, none there. I pulled up my shirt…. Bandages, I was wrapped in bandages from the top of my chest that my to my hip bones, I had no clue what had happened of why they were there. I wasn't going to unwrap them to find out either, I didn't want to know, plus down here with my luck so far it would get infected if it was a wound.

I curled up in a ball and relaxed even with the moaning and groaning going on, in an odd way it soothed me that there was noise. I shifted my weight around till I got comfortable. Yes, it might surprise you that I was very comfortable sitting on rocky ground and leaning against a rock wall. My eyes started to feel heavy, but this time I wasn't feeling sick or dizzy, no, this time I fell asleep.
