Itia looked around her room. Her face was blank and unreadable. The walls were all black. The comforter on her was dark purple and the pillows were black. There was a white clock and matching lamp on a cherry wood nightstand that was next to the bed. There was a cherry wood bookcase to the left of the door. There were three doors. The one they were standing in, one that was closed, and one that was slightly cracked open. She suddenly grinned. "Do you have some white paint?"
"Yeah." She went off and came back with a can of white paint. Itia dipped a small paintbrush into it and went to work on the walls. A few minutes later, they were covered in little white stars. "Pretty."
"Thank you." There was rumbling.
"We're home!" A man yelled out.
"Pein wants everyone in the living room!" She yelled loudly. "C'mon."
"Can I change?"
"Yeah. Your stuff is in your closet. There's your bathroom." She pointed to the cracked open door. Itia looked through her closet. Everything WAS here. She took out her usual outfit and pulled it on. A black miniskirt, a black halter top that ended halfway to her navel, and black high heeled boots. The fishnet on the seventeen year old's legs felt good against her skin. She went to the bathroom and put her hair up in the usual high pony tail. The girl fixed her eyeliner and mascara and applied her black lipstick. She trotted out and met Konan outside her door.
"Oh. Hold on." Itia put a hand on the wall. Her hand glowed. "On mei no kor gokai..." The wall cracked and a small box fell from the ceiling. She caught it and flipped the box open. She smiled and pulled a necklace out. It had a bottle at the end with a piece in it. She put it on and reached back in the box. In her hand was a Leaf village headband. She tied it around her waist and closed the box, sadly looking at a picture of two children wrapped in a hug. She stood and dropped the box into the crack in the ground. It threaded together, closing within seconds.
"Better?" She asked.
"Yeah." Itia followed the blue haired woman to a door. There was excited conversation. Konan pushed the girl through and she stood in the middle of a living room. Everyone gasped and blush flooded the teen's cheeks.
"You look exactly lik-" The door behind her opened and a man stepped. Itia turned and the two teens' eyes met at the same time. Silence engulfed the room. The two sets of eyes widened. You could have heard a pin drop. Itia trembled her knees almost giving out. The two suddenly yelled out the others' nickname as they lunged for each other. They crashed in a hug, the female crying.
"I'll kill him if he did anything to you, got it?" Itia nodded, her face buried into his chest. A fox puppy wound itself between the two, wanting to comfort her master.
"Can someone explain this?" A blue skinned man asked, as confused as the others. An auburn haired man with a ton of piercings walked in.
"I can." He looked at the smaller twin. "You may want to sit down, Itia." The girl did as she was told and practically fell onto the couch. Her twin sat next to her and she rested her head on his shoulder. Karii jumped into the teen's lap and fell asleep. "This is Itia." The girl gave a little wave, still dazed. "This is Kisame, your brother's partner. That's Kakuzu, that's Zetsu, and that's Tobi. He's Rikkari. This is the Akatsuki." He said with a gentle smile. "I'm sure you know Sasori and Deidara already, considering they're the ones that brought you here." Itia nodded. "Good. As you all can tell, Itia is Itachi's twin."
"How was she with Orochimaru, un?" Both teens shivered at the name. Pein looked at the female on the couch.
"Do you remember?" He asked kindly.
"Y-yeah."
"Do you want to tell them?"
"Might as well. When I was ten, he snuck into the Leaf. It was twelve-twenty at night. My window was open and the creep just snuck in. I screamed and Itachi burst in. The bastard just kidnapped me. I still remember what he said." She looked down at the fox in her lap. "He said, 'Now I have one of my own.'" The teen felt like throwing something. "You don't forget crap like that." Silence. "Why did you create this group?"
"We want world peace. Do you know what a jinchurriki is?"
"Yeah. Kabuto told me."
"Well, we're collecting them to create the ultimate weapon."
"Sounds interesting. I'm in." Pein smiled and threw her a ring. She caught it. It read, 'Feline'.
"Wear it. I'll explain later. Itachi, her headband." Itachi nodded and took his twin's headband as Pein left. He sliced through the leaf symbol and put it in her lap. Itia drifted to sleep as excited chatter started up.
