Chapter 11 :

I struggled to breath and began to cough. The air was moist and tasted of moss, stone and death. My eyes slowly opened only to reveal a heart-dropping darkness, but eventually things settled and I could see the stone walls that surrounded me in a circular build.
Along the front of the wall was were a cell wall should have been. I staggered to stand; my legs tingled from the cold and my eyes started to darken. 'I shouldn't have stood so quickly.' I thought to myself, gripping the side of my face.
It was then I realized I was naked. A dark blush tattooed itself onto my cheeks.

"Tamiko?"

No response.

I bit my lip and walked to the open cell doorway. The stone floor's chill surrounded my feet to the point of numbness. My body turned and I registered a staircase only a few feet away. There was nowhere else to go but up, though there was a table near it.

My clothes!

I rushed to them and picked up my shirt. It was spotless and repaired. Even my belt filled with scrolls was there; everything was accounted for. I strapped it on and started up the stairs. That's when I realized I could still use chakra. What sort of twisted mind game is this?

First I come up naked in a cell, Tamiko seemed to be blocked and they hadn't sealed away my chakra.

My legs carried me up the stairs to a wooden door stained of blood and decorated in scratch marks. Chills immediately shot through my spine as I examined them.

"People must have been locked down here." I spoke aloud. Perhaps it was locked now?

I put my hand on a smooth metal bar posing as the door handle and pulled.
Cold shot through me.

What if I was trapped down here?

Then, relief; the door opened smoothly and soundlessly. I tiptoed around it and examined the other side; A long corridor with doors on either side of the walls. It was lovely actually. How could this place go from mansion to dungeon? It made no sense.

The floor was stone with a scarlet carpet, embroidered with gold around it's border in a Celtic design of flowers. Lighting came from the intersection of the wall and floor, sending it's beam of warmth to the stone ceiling and filling the room with a classical and medieval atmosphere, and small, smooth wooden end tabled between every door which had beautifully crafted doilies. Sitting on the white cloth were two magnificent glass vases filled with different colored flowers; each having colored water to match. There were Red, Violet, Orange, Green, Blue, Yellow, Grey and even Black. The weird part about the flowers were the fact it seemed only one color went to each door. For example for one door would have flowers of one color pointing towards it, and the door next to it would have its own colors.

I continued walking down the corridor quietly, marveling in the décor that came from the pathway. I definitely wanted to add something like this to my home.

My movements were silent as I crept down the hall; sneaking past the weird, but beautiful, arrangements of flowers. That is, until I made my way to the violet-surrounded door. A loud crash and curses filled my ears, making me choose to move back to the dungeon. I didn't know who was in there, and I surely didn't want to find out.

I turned to walk off, only to meet with a male's chest. My eyes widened and I froze. I listened to a door open and release a zoo-full of profanities and just before looking up-

"Where do you think you're going?" I recognized the voice.

Itatchi Uchiha.

I began to back away; 'As long as I don't look into his eyes I'll be fine.' I thought to myself. As I turned to make a getaway my face landed into another chest, only, this time was bare. My cheeks stained with a dark pink as the warmth from the man seeped into my cold skin. "Like what you see?" I recognized that voice too; Hidan.

My legs gave out, causing me to land on my arse. "Get away from me." I warned, cursing myself for the slight trembling tone in my words. Hidan was one thing; the Uchiha was another. I could easily encase them both with my birthright, but knowing Itatchi, he would slip through some how.

Both of the males stepped forward- closer to me. "Stop!" I forced.

Hidan cackled his in-humane laugh and smiled. "We aren't going to hurt you." He took another step.

"I said get away from me!" My hands shot into the air. Both male leapt for me; though I had quickly surrounded myself in my trustworthy gem. The Uchiha had stopped in his tracks, while, Hidan smashed face-first into the diamond.

The raven-haired male sighed and looked to the Jashinist. "Well, let's go."

- .

I sat in my crystalline-clear cocoon with one leg bent upwards and the other over it, arms behind my head and snickering. So, apparently I was just meant to be brought to their leader, Pein, and not thrown back in the cell I woke up in. Itatchi tried reasoning with me in his usual calm voice for me to come out and when I refused, made Hidan carry me. When the silver-haired male picked up my encasing with ease, I thickened it and gave it more mass; making my room smaller- though it was worth losing room to watch the male be smashed between me and the floor. Quiet amusing if I do say so myself.

Eventually, me being asleep most of the way, we made it to where Pein's office was supposedly located. That weird guy in the mask, Tobi and Kisame had joined the group. From what I could tell Kisame and Tobi were giving Hidan a hard time- at one point the immortal almost dropped me, resulting with me yelling at him to be careful and to watch it.

"Fucking finally!" Hidan threw me down. Sweat beaded down his forehead and chest as he panted. "I usually fucking enjoy pain, but her fat-ass is too damn much for me to fucking handle." He groaned.

I looked around my new environment; It was a large, spacious office with dark tan carpet and wooden walls. A large show-case sat between two large windows that overviewed the Hidden Rain village, Ame. The showcase was crafted from beautiful wood, but closer inspection made me realize it was made from cargo boxes. It was still beautiful though. Pictures inside were turned to face the back, making the viewer unable to see the photographs in the frames. There was also a leather book inside, but it had no writing and looked worn beyond years. Another thing that caught my eye was a spiral staircase leading up to the roof.

"Thank you for bringing her here. Dismissed." The bones in my neck popped as I turned my head towards the voice. My eyes locked in with the leader of the Akatsuki.

Pein.

I listened to the footsteps of the other four males as they left, leaving me in here alone with Pein. Why did I leave the dungeon?

"It is good timing you came. Otherwise we would have thought you had died and locked the door." He said softly.

Oh. Well good thing I left the dungeon.

"I suppose you have questions?" He asked.

"What did you do to Tamiko?" I blurted.

He seemed to have been looking through me, studying my movements. I stood with ease; manipulating the diamond to move as I did and thinning it out slightly.

"I wish for you to join the Akatsuki." Ignoring my question and stating his words with a slight demand. "I understand the girl Deidara was going to kill was of importance of you, and he negotiated her life for your cooperation."

I clenched my jaw. "What makes you think I'll actually help with whatever you want? Hm?"

Pein sighed and rested his chin on his hands. "For the same reason you allowed yourself capture; The girl's name is Mioko, correct? Well, according to Deidara, he has implanted a small clay bomb in your friend's lungs- much to small to be detected and, for now, on what I'd call standby." He watched me with a slight intensity. Pein was showing who was obviously dominate here. "If you refuse and go against my orders- Deidara would not hesitate to see a piece of 'Artwork'."

Fear shot through me then. "He's out of his range."

"Of course he will be. Though I have very watchful eyes, Kage, and Deidara will be transported to her area the moment you cross us, thus allowing him to detonate the bomb." He explained.

I bit my lip, eyes softening. Why were they doing this? "Why me?"

He sat back in his seat for a moment, then stood and walked around his desk. "You have the power to see into the future, the power of great medical jutsus and the power of Matatabi. You are a very important person- seeked out by every ninja village at battle time. You, Kage, are going to help us build the perfect, peaceful world, and if you refuse to do so, I will take away everything you love. Including your sister."

How did he know?

"She isn't as strong as you; not capable of foreseeing or any medical ninjutsu and her power is on a much lower scale than you." He turned to face me fully. "She can't hide her chakra as well as you can; Only able to deceive those with normal eyes. She doesn't even know you are her sister, Kage."

"We were separated when she was only two years old!" I shouted at him. "Of course she wouldn't remember her real family!"

Pein nodded. "The family she learned to love and grew with was also destroyed by Oorochimaru. The Hidden Tree Village. The only useful trait she has now is the Ivory style. It would be a shame to have to put the only ninja left that knows this technique down."

My knuckles were white. I couldn't let them do that to her. My little sister… after all these years she was okay and doing well? A defeated sigh escaped my lips. "Fine, but I'm not going to be walking around without a henge."

"Fine. Your room is already prepared and a cloak will be in there. You must wear it."

"What about Tamiko?"

"He isn't fully sealed." Pein sat back in his chair. "You still have the ability to do a full-body takeover, the only thing that is sealed is his mouth, and you are unable to talk to him. Dismissed."

The door opened and walked in a female; Blue hair..- Konan! She smiled softly to me and motioned me to follow her. That lifted my spirit slightly, seeing another girl here. I manipulated my diamond to morph as I walked. I'll be damned if I allow those guys to touch me. Making a small path that surrounded me fully as I walked and as I lifted my foot, the unneeded space behind me closed.

- .

I had a room between the ignorant Jashinist and Artistic Terrorist. Wonderful. Once I was in the room alone, I dispelled my cocoon and looked at the furniture provided.

A simple bed, desk, and a closet.

My eyes shifted over the neatly-made bed; sitting on it was the cloak Pein talked about.
I was reluctant, but soon found myself holding onto the black article, decorated with red and white-bordered clouds.

If I was going to work for the Akatsuki, to keep my sister alive, I wasn't going to allow anything to happen to her.

My arms slipped into the cloak as it consumed my body.

I cleared my mind and activated my other side. Devoted of all emotions such as happiness and joy. As this persona took over, my soft blonde hair turned an almost white shade of pink; long and flowing down to the middle of my back. My bangs hung down to my face, though only covered my left eye, skin going from a dark tan to a milky cream. The Kanji for Sin tainted creamy skin at the base of my neck on the right side. Those eyes. The right one was a bright yellow- feral and empty, while the covered left was an endless darkness of black. The pupil was white and surrounding it were seven, small colored specks of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and a deep pink.
The Akatsuki cloak fit my small body loosely, and the Kanji for Obedience and Sister burned themselves into a red print cloud that was sewn in her chest area.

This person- this, persona…was a result of Tailed-Beast chakra and I mixing.

As long as I was in the Akatsuki, I wouldn't be Kage.

"My name is Cyn."

Authors note: (Silver) AHHH! I know, huh? MINDFUCKED? Well, you should be! Because things are about to get TWISTED!

Her name is Pronounced as SIN, by the way, and she isn't the only one! Things should clear up soon. c:
