Chapter Thirteen
Anger boils through his skin. He has never been as mad in his life. Gay? He is not gay. Yet, as he walks down the dark hall, he tells himself that. The leader of Akatsuki, Pein, is a man of demands. He is NOT a man of pink tea parties.
Sakura…it fits her well, Pein finds himself thinking.
He opens a door and enters a large, black and red, room. The double bed in the middle is his and Konan's bed. He collapse on it and places his head in his hands with a sigh.
The door opens again and Konan walks up to him. Her hair is pulled up now and the green scales shine in the light. Pein, in his pink glory, meets her gaze.
"Pein, I have a question." She says instantly as she sits down next to him.
"What?" he replies, his tone rough, and he lays back.
"How long are we going to be cursed?" she asks and he answers, "That is something we will talk about with Haruno-san."
"You really think she can break the curse?" Konan asks and he sits up with a growl, "She should be able to. I mean, the Fifth Hokage trained her!"
"She killed Sasori, who happens to be alive now, but she beat him in a battle." The blue-haired woman reminds him.
Pein stands up and walks around the edge of the room. With his hands folded behind him, his eyes narrowed, and his pink skin shining…well, let's say that he looks like a walking Christmas decoration. A tall, red-haired, ornament that screams Murder and I'm God in the same sentence.
Konan's eyes follow his movements with ease, but her mind is else where. She's worried, even if she doesn't show it, but there is so much more for her to be scared of. She's scared for her new family, for Pein, and even for the unwilling ninja with pink hair.
"SAKURA!!!" a scream fills the Hidden Village of Konoha. A hyperactive ninja, one with bright blond hair, storms the streets. Following him is Gaara, angered that the blond isn't holding still, and even madder because he woke him from his meditation.
"Naruto, you damn bastard, get the fuck BACK HERE!!!" the redhead roars as he leaps onto the next roof, but falling when a man in green slams into his side.
"Gaara-kun, spar with me!" Rock Lee orders, the man in tights, as he gives that creepy grin of his.
"No." is all the Kazakage says as he stands up and leaps after Naruto.
Yet, deeper in Konoha, another scream rages. If you look towards the Hokage Tower you will see one window shatter. Then that is followed by Tsunade throwing Jiraiya out the window in an angry rage.
You can see Kakashi hugging a bulletin board that has his favorite book on it. Ino can be found screaming and yelling at Shikamaru and Hinata stalking Naruto. You can also find Neji and Tenten {is her name spaced as Ten Ten or is it Tenten?} eating pears under a tree in the middle of the woods.
Kiba and Shino are working on combos. Choji is eating. Sai is drawing on top of the Hokage Mountain Heads. Naruto is running around town like a moron. Gaara is chasing after him who has Lee chasing him.
Is everyone in this village insane, or am I the only insane one? Temari, the sister of Gaara, finds herself asking no one in her own mind.
"Yep, I'm the sane one." She says out loud as she turns and walks off.
Deep in the woods, farther off then any ninja dares go in the Forbidden Swamps, is a village. This village, known as the Hidden Village of Curses, a ceremony takes place. Loud voices sing into the wind, an unknown language even to the world.
An old woman stands in the center of a circle. People surround her, the figures flickering in the shadows. Her long hair, wispy and violet, is slowly changing in appearance.
Her skin turns smooth, her eyes are removed from the dead-like film that they once had, and he teeth turn white. Her curves fill out, her clothes fit her better, and her skin turns a light brown. Finally she looks at everyone and smiles.
Then the crowd cheers.
"Lady Jadoku!"
"Lady Jadoku!"
"Lady Jadoku!"
She raises one hand, a signal, and she smiles. The crowd becomes still, silent, and they watch her with joyous eyes. She then says, "It is a pleasure to return. There is so much to do, but there is hardly anytime to do it. I have heard that a ninja lord under Orochimaru wishes to make an alliance with me."
"Yes, milady, I do." A voice carries over the crowd and Lady Jadoku turns to see him, a man with oil black hair, walking towards her.
"I see." Her voice softens, her eyes cautious, but then she smiles.
"This is a surprise. I am…glade to see that I have allies in a time of need." Lady Jadoku replies as she flips her elbow length violet hair over her shoulder.
"It's a pleasure."
"The pleasure is all mine." The woman says with a grin spreading across her face.

Wa-la! I have done it! Now the true story is on the way! So, what do you think of my OC character? Lady Jadoku can stand for Snake Venom or Snake Toxin.
She was in the plot before I could do anything about it. I thank you for all the ideas, the ones that were offered when I read it, and I will take them into consideration.
Now, I have a question for you all. Should Sasuke enter the story? I really don't know since Sakura, in the manga and anime, was in love with him. I mean, come on, there is going to be love conflicts in the Akatsuki! This chapter, so far is the shortest. Talk to ya later.
