When Hyozan woke up he found himself in a strange, dark place he never saw before. He quickly realized he was tied up to a chair and that someone was watching him.

His stomach was aching, his throat was dry. He coughed and his cyan eyes widened as he saw on his pants something that looked like blood. He couldn't really make out what it was. Too dark.

The room was invaded by a deadly silence, he started breathing heavily. Where was he? Why was he there? He was definitely freaking out.

His eyes were just adjusting to the darkness when a bright light hit him. He blinked and looked at the men in front of him.

They were the same chaps from before. The pale one with the grey hair was smiling.

-You finally woke up, uh? -, the albino man grinned. The other man was as still as statue, it was creeping Hyozan out.

The teal-haired boy didn't answer, he just kept breathing.

His captor raised an eyebrow.

-Why aren't you talking, you little shit? –

-W-who are you? -, the boy coughed.

-We are the Akatsuki, idiot. My name's Hidan and that stick in the mud over there is Kakuzu-, said the albino nonchalantly while untying the rope that kept the boy attached to the chair.

Hyozan quickly got up, he was nervous, confused and angry. He looked up at Hidan, who, he just realized, was much taller than him.

-Where am I? -, he tried to fake out his fear, failing.

-To the Akatsuki's base, dumbass-, the man in front him said as if it was obvious.

The boy's finger's suddenly turned into sharp ice. The albino didn't seem surprised when Hyozan ran towards him and tried to attack him. The boy's attacks were all dodged. Soon Hidan stopped and the teal-haired boy saw a red scythe with three blades flying towards him. Its blade scratched his face while he was trying to dodge it.

His captor took the weapon in his hand and licked the spot of blood on the blade. His skin turned black and white marking appeared on his skin, exactly where his bones were. Suddenly the man stabbed his chest and drew a weird symbol around him with his blood.

- Jujutsu: Shiji Hyōketsu -

Hyozan looked at the man in confusion. Suddenly he felt a throbbing pain in his stomach, he kneeled down on the ground in pain, blood pooling under his shirt. He looked up at Hidan.

The man took a stake out of his stomach. He was laughing maniacally. It was scary.

-Don't kill the boy-, the voice of the man with the headscarf surprised both Hyozan and Hidan.

The albino nodded with an annoyed expression and reluctantly stepped out of the circle. Hyozan fell on the ground and passed out for the second time in one day.

The teal-haired nukenin woke up. He was on a bed in a well-lighted room, a woman with blue hair, orange eyes and pale skin was sitting next to him. Her face was expressionless, she was wearing the same robe Hidan and Kakuzu were wearing. She was also part of the Akatsuki, Hyozan assumed.

-You're awake-, her voice was calm and her glare pierced through the boy's bones.

Hyozan sat up, his stomach was aching and covered in bandages. The woman handed him a glass of water. The nukenin stared at the transparent liquid.

-Drink it-, he did as he was told.

-You'll recover in a few days, don't worry-, said the woman calmly.

-Why am I here? What do you want from me? –, breathing hurt.

-Save the questions for when you'll heal completely-

Hyozan was torn between two parts of his brain. A part of him wanted to run away, but another part of him, probably the wiser one, told him to stay where he was. He had nowhere else to go and in the Akatsuki, even though it probably was a criminal organization or something like that, he would've found safety.

-I see you're confused, Hyozan, but here you'll find a place to stay-, the boy swallowed hard, how did she know his name? Was she reading his mind?

-I forgot to tell you, my name is Konan. Welcome to the Akatsuki, kid-, said the blue-haired woman before leaving the room.

Hyozan was now alone with his thoughts, that were now agreeing on one thing: he had no other choice. He had to join the Akatsuki, it wouldn't have been so bad from that point on. At least he hoped.
