Chapter 20

We can't believe we've already posted 19- 20- chapters! We are celebrating because this is the longest a story of ours has ever survived! Usually Crillix gets bored with them and quits, and I just get to busy but for some reason I end up deleting my stories.
Even if we only have about 11 reviews it's enough to keep us going, and hopefully the numbers of reviews will climb as it progresses, because I am dead set on finishing!
If you guys haven't realized, TOA is now part of, and the beginning of, the Time! Saga..!
The name to TOA will be renamed to fit the saga and sequels will come. With sequels there will be new characters, new enemies and a new plot!
The original idea for the sequel was to do a Crossover with Fairy Tail, but we decided against that and if you like the idea of it, don't worry! The Crossover will be added as an ALTERNATE STORY in case you would like to enjoy it! Think of it as this
TOA is splitting into two different stories; One will stay in the Naruverse- that is the ORIGINGAL while the Crossover will be there just for entertainment. Since this is FanFiction after all.
It's up to you whether you would like to continue with the original or have fun and explore the Crossover.

We would like to thank:
Emzy2k11, Diamond Lotus-chan, acetwolf94, and alexma
for reviewing so much.
You four are the main reason we've continued, and your support means a lot to us!

And thanks to all of those that are reading the story!

Spring Break for us is now over, so updates may come slower but we will try our hardest to get it out ASAP.

Until next time, Loveys~

Kage laid on the bed that had come with the room she had been given with her arms behind her head and a leg bent so her knee was pointed upwards. Her smoky grey/blue eyes blinked quickly as she stared off into the pink-tinted ceiling that Cyn had created. Her mind wandered aimlessly in thought about the situation she had gotten herself in. She had helped the Akatsuki capture a person to be killed, killed innocent people at the collection office and practically revived a dangerous S-Class ninja that was wanted throughout the continent. Well, she didn't do those first two things in reality, but she could have stopped it.

Her left arm rose slowly above her and she opened her palm. Kage's eyes scanned over the item between her thumb and index finger intently. She began losing herself once again in her thoughts just by looking at the ring.

Kakuzu had just died, and they pass a belonging of his off so quickly? Well, not his exactly but still. When he and Cyn shared each others past with one another the information of himself not only soaked itself into the pinkette's mind, but also went further and into the ears of the three others as well. Kage knew Kakuzu had been in the organization since Pein had first established the new Akatsuki, and for him to be able to hand over something that a long-timed companion had owned for so long as well was a terrible thought.

She knew a lot about the Akatsuki, more than any of them thought. With her abilities, thanks to her ancestors and family line, she was able to gather information to add on to the old knowledge she had obtained by reading about them after they had first set out for her and attempted capture. What really made her interested in the Akatsuki in the first place was from the fact that her old sensei had given her a warning about them.

The white stone that held a small figurine meaning North gleamed and demanded attention as it caught the lighting perfectly. The blonde smile slightly and maneuvered her middle finger into the dark band.

It was large, though by some magic it began to shrink until it fit her finger perfectly.

Her long, smooth fingers stretched out straightly so she could admire the newest accessory. Her tan skin went well with the dark band and the white stone within complemented her hand, adding a little pop to it. The band itself would camouflage into the black material of her gloves when it was time to put them on again, so only the white and Kanji would be visible, but she could deal with not wearing the fingerless gloves for one night.

Kage honestly hated jewelry; in her opinion large gems set in gold was absolutely hideous when someone wore so much of it and meant when they did, it was an attempt for covering up their matching, hideous personalities. Though, something about this one ring drew her in and made her enjoy its fitting on her.

Kakuzu wasn't really that bad of a guy, so perhaps what was making her feel the slight and very small ting of happiness about now owning his ring was due to the fact he was indeed a powerful shinobi.

She didn't know, and she didn't exactly care.

Her arm fell limp to her side and she sighed deeply. It was going to be at least five days before she could transfer with Cyn or anyone for that matter; unlike those three siblings of hers she had a limit on when she could swap places. Kage rand her slender fingers through her shoulder-length blonde hair and sighed once more. A few dead strands, pale of color, wrapped around her fingers as she combed her fine and glossy locks with her hand, and she made sure the two or three thread-like, pale hairs made it into the small wooden garbage can that was sitting beside her desk.

Kage went back to her bed and laid back down in her previous spot. Her hair was sprawled in all directions and covered her face in random places. She was peaceful here, thanks to the reinforced walls that blocked out sounds from Deidara and Hidan's rooms. Ignore the missing drip, pat, drop of water falling in small circles to a stone floor, cool air and a firm bed- it was just like her cave-home back in the woods of Fire Country.

Her smokey blue eyes opened slowly at the sound of footsteps coming from under the door; she had taken the diamond walling down from that side of the room so she would know when a person was going down the hall. The shadow of feet loomed and stretched into her room, followed by a voice.

"Are you fucking going to eat or what? Konan fucking started dinner when we got back and she's fucking done now. She's not letting us eat until you fucking come."

It was her partner of course. The title made her smile fade instantly, and when she was about to object to going to dinner her stomach let out a small grumble. "Yeah, yeah." Kage sat up first then stood. She walked to the door and opened it, meeting with a bare-chested Hidan. Her expression became bored and her eyes filled with annoyance; Oh how she was already use to this. "Go put on a shirt."

"That's another fucking reason I came up here." He turned and walked further down the hallway, stopping at his door and entering. Kage waited for him to reappear before the two began to make their way downstairs to meet with the others.

Once they were in the kitchen Hidan lead her to the dinning room, which had been redecorated. The walls were lined with wooden oak which had a glossy finish and elegant paintings varied from armored warriors to flowers hung spaciously. The room was large, and within the middle a carved glass table that had water between the two main slabs and what seemed to be small fish swimming around in mini coral reefs that embroidered the rectangular masterpiece. The chairs where glass as well, and had cushions of matching colors of the flowers upstairs.

It was then Kage became clear who was in what room, besides Hidan, Deidara, Sasori and Kakuzu.

Kisame – Blue
Itatchi – Black
Diedara – Yellow
Tobi – Orange
Hidan – Violet

Then there were two empty cushions colored red and grey that where the closest to the door, placed right across from each; other.; plates set as if waiting for the people that would never come.

Hidan walked along the side and sat at the very end. Kage noticed two other empty seats; green and white.

"If you're wondering where you sit, it's the white chair." Kisame said pointing directly opposite of Hidan at the very end of the table, and next to Itatchi. Kage nodded slowly and walked to her designated seat, then sitting on the beautifully white cushion. "The room is amazing." She spoke in a whisper as her eyes lifted to view the glass shards that hung, and practically made up, only an inch from the ceiling. Though reflected the light from a single, small source that was embedded into the ceiling in the center of the room.

"Did you honestly believe with a woman around it would be sloppy and less than what it is?" Itatchi moved his eyes to her, though continued to face forward.

None of them were wearing their Akatsuki cloaks, so it confirmed to the blonde that they only wore them out, and it was a relief that it wasn't a 24/7 thing.

"Nice outfit, Un." Deidara snickered at the only girl sitting at the table.

Tobi put a hand to what would be his mouth and laughed childishly. "Kage-chan looks so revealing!"

"It was the only clean thing to wear." The girl growled in her defense and clenched her fists. "After dinner I plan on going shopping for something more appropriate."

Her breasts threatened to break through the tiny, tight shirt. Her stomach was fully reaveals, and only thanks to the tie that covered her cleavage. Her breasts were also being pushed up by the pink vest and it seemed like it would rip from the amount of strain if she moved wrong. The pink miniskirt seemed like something that would be used as extra fabric on panties, which the black-and-white-striped shorts underneath fit the role as such perfectly. The sleeves had been rolled up past her elbows with force due to the shortness; force from being so unbelievably tight and having a death-grip on her arms.

"Why didn't you just wear what you came in?" Kisame asked while picking at a dish of pork and putting a few on his plate, which was already decorated and filled with rice and other various meats.

Kage watched the men begin to pick out what they wanted and begin eating, happy to have small conversation that didn't revolve around Kakuzu's death. "They were really dirty." She said simply. "Plus there was blood all over them from when I stitched Hidan back together."

The shark influenced man nodded, chewing a slice of pork he had filled with rice and rolled together.

"When did you fucking learn how to do that shit? I feel better than I did when I was a fucking kid." The Jashinist asked in a tone Kage enjoyed. It wasn't yelling, like she had been hearing since she dug him up, loud or overbearing. It was a nice indoor voice that was nice to her ears, besides all of the cursing he had to place in his words.

"Aren't you guys supposed to know a lot about me?" She perked a blonde eyebrow, earning a slight growl from the silver haired male. She sighed and waved at, him; telling him to hush and cease the noise. "About two years after my village was destroyed. I was seven when that happened, so I guess I learned around nine-ish." She then wavered her hand.

"Well what all can you fucking do?" He asked after swallowing a large amount of rice that had been drowning in sauce and bits of beef.

Kage gave him a set suspicious-filled eyes. "You really don't know?"

"I know you have a fucking Kekkei Genkai, can see the damn future and know a lot about fucking Medical Ninjutsu."

"That's about it." She smiled happily. "Other than that I use Wind, Fire and Earth styles, which, as some say, practically make up the Diamond Technique. In reality though it seems I'm the only one with this Kekkei Genkai."

"You should feel special then, Hm." Deidara said with a mouthful of rice, pointing his chopsticks at the girl down the table. He took a sip of his water and continued. "No one else can use the style, so you're as rare as the diamond itself, Yeah?"

"I guess." She smiled awkwardly. Her smoky blue eyes looked around a bit before more conversation was brought up. "Where do Konan and Pein eat?"

"Pein eats in his office and Konan usually with him." Itatchi informed. He glanced down at the woman beside him, seeing she hadn't been eating herself when Kisame and Hidan were reaching for more. "You aren't going to eat?"

Kage was startled by the question and flinched slightly; her blush creeping and dusting her cheeks in a dark pink/red that covered all of her cheeks and nose. Her two index fingers poked together in her lap and her awkward smile stayed. "I don't eat before other people." She then looked to her fingers when the three males around her raised quizzical brows. "When I was being raised everyone would wait for me to have my fill before they ate. When the village was burned down, I don't know, I just always ate last." She then raised her head, showing her smile was now genuine and meaningful. "Even when I had guests I wouldn't eat until they were full and happy."

"Fucking weird." Hidan finished off his second plate after swallowing a mouthful of chicken and took a sip of his water.

Itatchi nodded in understanding at her explanation. "Perhaps you just don't like eating in front of others. Being brought up as royalty and a first priority, and having people wait for you most likely made you uneasy."

"It did." She confirmed. "Plus I would rather have my friends full and happy and me go without instead of being half-starved."

"So we're your friends now, Yeah?" Deidara stood holding his plate with a raised brow and finishing off his glass of water.

Kage froze in shock from the sudden question. All eyes were on her now and waiting for an answer. "I guess." Her voice was sheepish and full of shyness. "I mean, you're all being nice to me besides when Hidan is in his moods." A nervous chuckle escaped her lips.

Kisame smiled a toothy grin and joined in with her laughter. "Well all right! We aren't always savage killers after all."

"I know." She nodded.

Tobi flew from behind Itatchi at the girl with arms outstretched. "Tobi has a new friend!"

Kage's expression changed from shy to one of pure horror. Out of reaction and sudden extinct, her eyes were shut as tightly as they possibly could, her arms were thrown in front of her and when his body came into contact with her own, he was encased with her birthright.

Kisame reached out to catch the heavy Tobi-filled stone, though it never made contact with the glass and stayed within the air. Kage opened her eyes and screamed at the sight of the masked man being inches away from her face, resulting with her flipping from her chair. Her head made contact with the sharp edge of the glass table; the force making her turn midair and land on her front. A small trail of blood began trickling down the back of her head and started to build into a small pool. Kage laid unconscious, hair beginning to stick together from the blood, under the upturned chair and because she was unable to control the diamond, it began falling.

"Duck!" The blue-skinned man warned, making contact with the heavy stone before it could hit the table. Itatchi did as was called and moved out of the way just as the body was pushed.

Deidara dropped his plate onto the glass and looked over at the girl, as did the others. "She's got a big butt, Un." He pointed with a neutral expression. It was true, and the other's all couldn't help but look at her arse and confirm his observation themselves; which, from the small clothing, was slightly showing.

Hidan nodded and smirked slightly. "Nice damn curves to."

"That was random." Kisame scratched his head. "The most eventful thing at dinner since Sasori made Deidara into a puppet and forced him to act like a dog." He smirked at the memory of the redhead controlling the blonde and making him walk on all fours when he was being a nuisance. "What do we do now? We know some of what she's capable of. What if she wakes up all of a sudden and thinks we are going to hurt her?"

"Someone take her to her room and clean up her headwound." Itatchi stood, taking control of the situation they were forced into and started to walk away while looking at his partner. "Bring Tobi to the back, I'll go tell Konan about all of this."

"Always dodging the fucking work." Hidan muttered as the two disappeared with the masked-man-filled gem, leaving him and the terrorist to tend to the girl.

Deidara snickered and held his hands in front of him while making a grabbing motion. "I've been wanting to see how soft those are since we met her, Hm."

"I'll fucking laugh if she wakes up and kicks your sorry ass the entire fucking way to hell and back." Hidan crossed his arms, holding a frown.

The blonde male gently rolled the girl over and placed his hand on the large mound on her chest.. He waited for a moment, then squeezed softly and smirked. "This girl's got it all, Un." His hand then ran down her body to her skirt line. "You think she's a virgin, Yeah?"

Before he could press his hand any further, it became heavy and started looking how Tobi currently was. Deidara jumped away from the girls body and tried prying it off, jaw clenched tightly. Hidan howled with laughter at the sight and held his sides. "She's fucking knocked out and still has a fucking defense system!" He then pointed at the diamond that continued to grow along the bombers arm. "The fucking best part is that it's not even the Bitch's doing! Mini Bitch did it!"

The blonde smirked when the pink diamond stopped at his shoulder. He was slumped over to the right slightly from the weight, but it seemed her didn't mind it all that much. "Totally worth it, Un." He then looked to the girl. Her hips poked from her flat stomach, the skirt unable to even touch her skin and practically teased him to be touched. "I'd fuck her; virgin or not, Hm."

"You won't when she fucking rips your damn dick off." Hidan moved beside his partner and hoisted her into his arms bridal style. He groaned out of displeasure; her body, revealing and smooth to the touch, was making him want to take her as well. No wonder she wears such covering clothing! It seemed like any man that looked at her body, even just a little, or touched her would fall under her erotic spell.

Hidan's breath grew hot at the thoughts that danced around in his mind. There was no way she was in face a virgin, but he didn't really care about that. His legs carried them up the stairs and down the hall, and once he was at her room, opened it and simply, gently placed her on her bed.

Maybe if he started being nice to her, she would repay him in physical actions. A small smirk spread across his lips as more thoughts of the girl and himself spread through his mind.

Yeah, that would be nice.
