Four Years... Can you believe it? Four years has passed since I was first reunited with big brother Itachi. I have only gotten to him once every three to seven weeks, due to his constant missions. We did have enough time to discuss Kurai though. If it wasn't apparent, Kurai is the demon whose soul and chakra (made of madness) is linked to my own. His chakra works as an enhancer for both mine when combined and my healing ability. Even though Kurai is a demon, he isn't as evil as you would think. He's more of a... delinquent, or a troublemaker even, than a evil being. I like the psychopath, but Itachi on the other hand, isn't too fond of him. Well, it really doesn't matter whether he likes my demon or not, he's a part of me. That and he has some really fun Ideas.

In the last years, I have stayed with the Akatsuki. Yes, The Akatsuki. For S-Rank criminal aren't as bad as you think, I've met them all. Once you get to know them, you realize there is something wrong with them and come to terms with it.

For example, Deidara and Sasori. They argue about whether "Art is Eternal!" or "Art is a bang, un!" You get used to almost getting blown up during those fights. For the most part, the people here like me. Well, with the exception of Leader and Kakuzu. Leader doesn't like that Konan happens to coddle me little too much, but I can't blame her. I am the only other girl here.

I am classified as the Akatsuki's messenger in the Bingo Books under the name Chiharu. There is no picture of me, nor any other information except my gender. The bounty on my head does not compare to those of the Akatsuki.

Speaking of Chiharu... Everyone else,other than Itachi, doesn't know that I am Ichigo Uchiha. Deidara does have some suspicion, seeing that I have the features of an Uchiha, but he doesn't have any concrete proof.

The person I have gotten closest with in the last four years would be Hidan. Yeah, he may be a annoying psychotic reckless annoying asshole but... No, there's no but. I like him that way, his personality is quite amusing. That and I can get him to do things for me. Hehe...

Another person who I'm getting along with pretty well is Kakuzu. This man ,just like the world, runs on money. When I need something to get done I usually rely on Hidan and Kakuzu.

Like Hidan, I have a mood to kill. Though, mine is more constant and intense, like when an alcoholic has gone a while without alcohol. I know that's it's a problem, but the feeling of being soaked in another's blood is absolutely magnificent. Especially the thrill of the fight before. Itachi doesn't like it when I come back with blood soaked clothing. Quite frankly, I find it funny. The expression of disgust on his face as he sees me soaked in red. Haha!

Despite being the Akatsuki's messenger, I'm also sent on missions. Assassinations, bounties, collecting information, etc. Fun stuff, right? They generally aren't long missions. Konan doesn't like me being gone for long. I don't get to go on the cool missions like obtaining the tailed beast...

I haven't talked about my brother Sasuke, have I? I haven't seen Sasuke since... Orochimaru's hide out. Oh, that's right! I found out Orochimaru was an Akatsuki member. I couldn't believe it! It took a while to find out. They still believe that Orochimaru tried something on me, so they try not to talk about him in front of me. Idiots.

Well, it's not too nice to call them idiots. They did train me after all. Itachi helped with most of my chakra based training. He helped me strengthen my jutsus. Well, the jutsus that Kakashi had taught me. Hidan, with a little persuasion, helps me train with weapons. I personally prefer the katana. I usually keep it strapped at my side. Konan, she taught me how to deal with the boys and other girl things. I'm grateful to have had her by my side.

Now, the last couple of months, the Akatsuki have been planning something big. Really big. Remember when I mentioned the obtaining tailed beast earlier? Well, there is a mission coming up and this time I get to help. We're going to capture the Kazekage. The Kazekage. I wonder how he'll fight... Can he take the whole Akatsuki?

Doesn't it sound like fun?
