Chapter 3: Akatsuki

Three years later I'm walking with Kakashi to see Jariya-sensei and report to the Hokage about the last mission. Kakashi and I are so advanced in ninjutsu that we are already serving S-ranked missions. Suddenly Kakashi falls to the ground and a figure clothed in a black cloak with red clouds on it and a straw hat grabs me. Kakashi, paralyzed by a jutsu, screams and tries to break free. I'm out under the same jutsu so I can't escape. Kakashi's voice grows softer and softer until I can't hear him anymore. And one things for certain.

I've been kidnapped.

I'm carried for a few kilometers before I break down crying. The figure turns his head to where I can see it. Ah hell, what is this creature?

"Shut up. We can't have sniveling people," a deadly sounded voice barked.

This man looked like a damn shark. How was he out of water if he was a fish person?

"Who are you?" I forced my tears back.

He smirked, "Just call me Kisame."

Kisame, fitting name. I kept quiet the rest of the time. Kisame kept chuckling every five minutes until I slapped him with difficulty since my hands were bound, finally free of his jutsu.

"Shut up will ya?" he immediately put me in the jutsu again to stop me from running away. Like I really could when he had also bound my feet.

"There. Your new home," he landed finally in a huge cave. Ten other figures were standing around. An orange haired one stepped forward.

"Uchiha Azelea, welcome to the Akatsuki," he held up a robe identical to the others.

"Akatsuki?" I asked after being free from my binds and that jutsu.

"Our organization," a blue haired female held out black clothes.

"What makes you think I'm joining?" I hissed.

"Because if you don't, Pain here will kill your precious Kakashi," Kisame chuckled.

I froze. Kill Kakashi? I turned to Pain and solemnly nodded. He took out a kunai and stepped up to me. In one fluid motion he scratched a single line over my Konoha headband. I felt a tear drip down my face and Pain wiping it away.

"Good, she feels pain. She will be an asset," he stepped away.

The blue haired woman, named Konan, led me to a secluded spot and had me strip down and change my clothing.

"Why am I here?" I asked as she gave me a ring, necklace and painted my nails black.

"We need your immense amount of chakra," she stood up when she finished, "Nagato needs your immense chakra."

She left me alone and I looked to the cloak. The red clouds reminded me of blood. I sighed and slipped it on. I retrieved my Uchiha necklace from my old clothes and clasped it on, hiding it from view. As I walked away from my ninja clothes, it felt like a part of me was ripped away. In a way, it had been ripped away. My life as a Konoha ninja, though short, was over.

"You look pretty sexy," a male voice said from the shadows.

I whipped out a kunai, "Who's there?"

A young male stepped out of the shadows. He had long black hair and wore similar clothes, his cloak just had a hood, and it looked as if he had armor underneath the cloak.

"My name is Uchiha Madara. I am the founder if the Akatsuki," he smiled.

"Why am I here?" I quipped.

"Because Nagato, our mastermind planner, needs your chakra. In order to have peace in this shinobi world, we need to have your chakra," he picked up a piece of my hair.

I backed up and turned away. Tears started streaming down my face.

"Kakashi-koibito, Itachi, oka-san, oto-san, Sasuke...," I fell to the ground.

"I know forcing you into the Akatsuki is hard. But it's for a better cause," he laid a hand on my shoulder, "You're only sixteen."

"Sasuke is still so little, he won't remember me," I started crying harder.

"And what's worse, he's in the village with the Kyuubi Jinchuriki," Madara shuddered, "We need to capture and bind the fox spirit. Which is why we need your chakra."

"What has Naruto done to you?" I flared. The little boy, whom I cared for once in a while, a target of these evil people? He was innocent. He couldn't help that his father, to save Konoha, sealed the Kyuubi inside him.

"We are sealing the tailed beasts to save the world," Madara jerked his head to the left, "Yes, Pain?"

An orange haired female came into view, "The Akastuki needs a meeting concerning Azelea."

Madara nodded and took my hand, "Come, sister."

"I'm not your sister! Just because we are Uchiha does not mean I am your sister!" I whipped my hand away, stood up, and marched off to where the other members were.
