Chapter 3

Konan was curios as to why Pein would ask her to baby sit a new member, sure she was a girl and everything, but he knew Konan wasn't the most sociable person. But when she saw Masago Uchiha in Kisame's arms, she got a rush of emotions she couldn't explain. She was a pretty girl, not stunningly beautiful, long blonde hair, common for people of Sunagakure, and she looked to be quite on the short side, she however was unconscious, so she asked Kisame to put her down in her room in which Konan had got a subordinate to renovate earlier.

"Kisame-san, do you know how long Masago-san will be asleep for?" Konan asked.

Kisame absent-mindedly scratched his head "Erm, Itachi said I think anything up to two days, and that was a day ago, so."

"I see, Thank you."

Kisame left the room, Konan looked to the sleeping girl once again, she looked unharmed, which for some reason made Konan happy. She then figured out that she'd probably be hungry when she awakened, so she went to the kitchen to fix up some origini.

Masago was in a strange dream, she was conscious yet, things where not what they seamed, she was in what looked to be Konoha, but it was a few years back, the place was deserted, she turned the corner and gasped. There where bodies, everywhere. She was now scared, she ran back the way she came, only to be greeted by more bodies, she could hear the clash of a kunai, and hear peoples grunts as they fell dead to the floor. She looked around more carefully, and then saw it, the Uchiha fan. This was the massacre. Itachi for some reason has shown her this in her dream, the sky suddenly turned red, and she looked up, then...

Konan had just gotten back to Masago's room when she heard, a small scream, she opened the door and rushed in to see her awake.

"Are you okay Masago-san? I heard you scream."

Masago looked up to a blue haired woman. She nearly thanked Kami their was a woman other than herself in this stupid organisation. "I'm sorry, erm..."

"Oh my name is Konan."

"Konan-san sorry for my scream, I just had a bad dream, thats all... erm, where am I?"

"You're in one of the Akatsuki bases. This is your room. Kisame-san brought you here earlier today." Konan replied

Just before Masago could ask another question a loud growl filled the room, Masago looked down to her stomach and turned red. In which Konan started to laugh.

"haha Masago-san I brought you some origini, I had a feeling you'd be hungry!" Konan said as she looked into her black eyes, eyes of an Uchiha she thought to herself. "I'll leave you to rest tonight, and I'll show you around in the morning, goodnight Masago-san."

"Thank you Konan-san." Masago replied.

The moment Konan left the room Masago wolfed down the origini Konan had left for her, rice had never tasted so good! Then she got a real look around her room. It was big, the bed was a single, with red satin sheets, there was a wooden desk, wardrobes, side tables, and a small sofa, she then noticed another door and got up to investigate and was extremely amazed at what she found, there was a huge on suit bathroom, with a shower, toilet, sink, mirror, but most importantly, a huge round bath which was gold in colour! Suddenly being apart of the Akatsuki didn't seam that bad... for a monstrous killing group... who was she kidding she was selling her soul because of a nice bath.

She then realised two bags where behind the door, and she threw them on the bed, sat down and began to unpack them, inside where her clothes, which she hung up in the wardrobe, there where also a couple of photo frames with pictures of her, her friends and her mother, Shizuka. Masago frowned, she never resented her mother for the truth of her real father, nor did she hold a grudge against him, even though in a way he abandoned her. She was cautious of leaving the photos out, so she put them back in one of the bags and shoved them under her bed.

Masago then looked to her bed, then to the bathroom, now what she really wanted was to drown herself, well not literally, but that bath looked so good, but alas, there was no toiletries, and it would be almost criminal to have a bath like that bare. She looked back to the bed, and although she had been, as what seamed asleep for two days, she was really in that dream world, which she had now come to the conclusion that it was Itachi's doing, and since he would be training her, would she really want to terrorise people in that way? Although she could see it being very useful in information gathering, which was her speciality. She didn't dwell on it any longer, the sleep was calling to her too greatly, she removed her day clothes and changed into pyjamas and fell asleep almost instantly.

Masago awoke to a knocking on her room door, she was stiff all over, she felt like she had slept for ages. She then heard knocking again, she was only in pyjamas and a bit apprehensive to open the door in case of it being a strange male.

"Masago-san, Its Konan, may I come in?"

Masago got up and opened the door for her, "ah, sorry Konan-san, I have only just woken up." she said whist scratching her head.

Konan smiled, "Thats okay, I've brought you some necessities, until you can go out and get some yourself. If you would wash and get dressed, I'd like to show you around the base, and Leader-sama

would like to speak to you." She said whilst handing the younger girl a vanity bag.

"Thank you Konan-san, wait here I will only be ten minutes." She said as Konan sat down on the bed.

Masago grabbed some clothes from her wardrobe and made her way into her bathroom, she looked into the bag Konan gave her and mentally thanked Kami that there was another female in this organisation, because if there wasn't it would have been certainly awkward asking for such lady items from a male.

Masago came out a while later all clean and ready, Konan nodded to the girl as she got up from the bed.

"Ah Masago-san, firstly I shall tell you briefly about the members, not including myself there is nine other members of the Akatsuki, all male. Whilst most are dangerous, I do warn you to not be too forward with Hidan, or Kakazu, they're known to loose their tempers from time to time, and with them being immortal, well, the odds wouldn't be in your favor if they were to pick a fight with you."

She looked at Konan confused, "Immortal?"

"ah Yes well, Hidan you see is a Jashinist, its a brutal religion, and by sacrificing humans their god Jashin turns his followers immortal. Kakazu on the other hand is just an extremely strong man, and when paired with Hidan, he is as good as immortal, especially with his medical ninjutsu, ah, he is also acting as the Akatsuki medic along side myself, although my knowledge is not as great at his."

She nodded slowly understanding, but mental noted not to get hurt bad, so Konan can heal her, not some old man immortal. Konan then spoke up again.

"There is also, Itachi-san and Kisame-san, you have already met them, don't ask me why he is blue, I'm not sure myself..." Konan said as a big smile spread across both your faces. "Deidara and Sasori-san are also a pair, Deidara is maybe only a couple years older than yourself, he is an artist he believes, he was a terrorist bomber from Iwagakure. And his Danna Sasori-san was"

"From Suna? I have been told about him back there... He's a extremely strong puppet welder." Masago said before Konan could.

"Yes, well since I don't have to explain him to you there is only two more members, Leader-sama, who you must obey without question, and a subordinate named Tobi, be warned, his personality may shock you... and he never shows his face, only wears a mask that resembles a pumpkin." Konan said whilst walking over to your door and opening it to be greeted with a long cylinder tunnel, you both walked down there and got to another door, which opened to a circular room with a long rectangle table with twelve chairs all around it, the room looked like a meeting room, but what was even more strange was the 14 doors just like the one she's just come out of all around, and then in between two doors was a stone wall with a red seal.

"The rooms are bedrooms all around, except for the two next to the entrance, that's the wall with the seal those rooms are the kitchen, and the lounge, but people mainly stay to themselves here. The room opposite the entrance is Leader-sama's quarters, there is his office and behind that his sleeping room, other than that, that is all there is here." Konan said.

Suddenly the room door next to yours opened and out came a pumpkin man and a blonde girl? No... Konan-san said that we where the only girls in this organisation.

"Tobi! Get out of my room un! Before I blow you up yeah!" The blonde man said.

Oh he is a boy... deep voice... weirdo.

"ah ah no Deidara-senpai! Tobi is a good bo- oh hello!" This Pumpkin boy aka Tobi said to you whilst walking over to you. "Konan-sama is this the new member? The Uchiha?"

"...Yes Tobi this is Masago... Don't you have things to do? Go make yourself useful!" Konan ordered, Tobi said a hyper goodbye to a wide eyed Masago and ran off.

"ugh un! Another Uchiha?" Deidara said with a hateful tone.

Konan shot Deidara a displeased look, "Masago will most likely be going on missions with you and Sasori-san in the future, don't be difficult Deidara." Konan stated.

"heh okay, are you going to the kitchen? That is where everyone bar Leader is, yeah." Deidara said as he walked towards the kitchen and Masago and Konan followed, until Konan's ring started to glow and she excused herself from you two to go to the Leaders office.

"eh, so Uchiha, what do you think of art un?" Deidara asked.

She cocked an eyebrow, "Art, well... to me, I think paintings are tedious... you've seen one and you've seen them all right?" Masago replied truthfully

Deidara stopped in his tracks, "I totally agree un! I think art is a fleeting moment of beauty, one that

is an explosion! Like my exploding clay!" Deidara exclaimed

"Like a firework..." Masago said.

Deidara looked confused, but then continued walking, and got to the kitchen door put his hand on the handle and then spoke, "For an Uchiha... You're not that bad, yeah." then opened the door and walked into the kitchen with her close behind. She didn't have time to register what the blonde had said because a white haired shirtless man interrupted her thoughts.

"Oh my Jashin! Look, it is the blonde twins! Haha, Deidara is this your girly friend ha!" The man shouted. Which earned the other three men in the room to all look at the pair.

Kisame then spoke up "Hidan-san the girl is our new member, Masago Uchiha!"

"ohh! Awesome, hey pretty lady do you have a boyfriend? Its not lady boy there is it? I can show you what a real man is like!" Hidan exclaimed with a stupid grin on his face.

"Hidan you idiot! Shut up would you." The man said next to him.

"Kakazu you old git! You shut up!" Hidan retorted

"What did you call me, runt? Lets test your immortal theory out right now." Kakazu challenged him as Hidan grabbed his scythe, but suddenly their rings started to glow.

"urg damn! Leader bloody wants us, come on you old git." Hidan said as he walked out the room. Followed shortly by Kakazu.

Masago had the most confused look on her face at this point, what children, she thought.

"eh Masago-chan! Please excuse the zombie twins, they're most annoying at their best behaviour." Kisame said.

Masago nodded to Kisame, as Deidara walked over to the fridge, whislt glaring at Itachi.

Konan came up behind her with a very short, fat, puppet like thing. That Must be Sasori-sama she thought.

"Masago-san, this is Sasori-san." Konan nodded towards him.

"Sasori-sama." said Masago as she nodded her head towards him.

Sasori nodded his head back in response, then spoke out to Deidara, "Brat, I need your assistance with a scroll, come with me now."

Surprisingly to Masago, Deidara said nothing and followed Sasori out without any smart remarks.

"Masago, You've met everyone now, Leader-sama would like to see you now." Konan said as she left the room.

"Good-luck kid!" Kisame shouted as you left the room with her.

Masago Uchiha will finally come face to face with the man who ordered her to the Akatsuki.
