“Look, I don't have time for this, can we get going now?” You sighed to yourself after what Deidara had to go through to get you to cooperate. He gave you a deadly glare. “For what?!” “I'll explain on the way, now come on!!” You stuffed his head back in your shirt, and started to head back to the hideout. You stopped again, to see that his body wasn't following. Just standing there, blissfully unaware of what was going on. Your eyes grew wide with irritation. “WOULD YOU MOVE YOUR ASS, NUMBNUTS!!! LET'S GO!!” You yelled. It was a little shaken at first, but then kept your pace while following you. On the way back, you explained why you took the headless/bodyless jerk in the first place. There were some times where you'd have to put him in check for his attacks at you. That you enjoyed very much. Other times, you felt weirded-out when he slept. He would snore loudly, while drooling on your shirt, which you knew for a fact you would wash off as soon as possible. You had fun playing with his body as well! You both would skip with each other for a few minutes, hop on one leg, you know, the usual things to do when you're out on a mission.
Many hours later, the three of you finally reach the base. You all went inside, receiving awkward stares from all of the members in the room. “Uh… I made it back. I got this--” you held Hidan's head in the air shaking it a little. “Ooh! Is this a game? Hey! Hey! Toss it over here!” Tobi flailed his arms in the air. You laughed at your silly comrade, and threw Hidan's head swiftly. Bits of blood were splattered on the ground. As soon as he left from your grasp, he started his rampage of cursing. Tobi caught the man's head while it was upside down. “Name! I'm gonna toss you a curve ball, alright?!” He spun around, and tossed Hidan's head back to you. Tobi threw it too high! His head flew past yours, and into someone else's grip. “Aha! Nice catch Kakuzu-san!!!” “Hm?” you look above where Hidan's head was thrown and see `the guy from the bath house.' You gave a worried laugh. “Eheheh…uh, hey! Mr… Stitches!! You're playing, too?” Kakuzu cracked his knuckles, and punched you upside the head. “Owww!!!” “Ignorant kid... You are late. Nightfall came three hours ago.” Your heart stopped. The room was mute, other than Hidan's head snickering in the background. “B-b-but I'm still here, right? And... and he's back in one piece!” You pointed to Hidan's body. He gave you a wave and two thumbs up. “Doesn't that count for anything?”
“No.”
“Oh man….”
You shut your eyes hoping for the worst.
“But… since it was your first mission, I suppose he could let it go.” The leader corresponded.
You looked up at Kakuzu with uncertainty. “…Fine. Next time you won't be so lucky.”
You wanted to thank him for sparing you, but merely bowed your head in respect towards him, and the leader. “Now that that's settled, I need you to come with me, name.” Leader said. “Kakuzu, see that Hidan is patched up by tomorrow.” “Ah, fuck…” He growled. “Thank you, karma!” you whispered, following the leader.
The leader took you by the hand, and the two of you vanished. You ended up in a room that was vacant and dark. Bits of red would show up in your vision.
“I have to give you credit for bringing Hidan back. I was certain he was dead by now…” You squint your eyes, and see the leader's figure a few feet in front of you, now noticing the many piercings on his face. “W-w-ell, uh… th-thank you? I-It was no big deal…” You stuttered.
“However…” His tone of voice went lower.
“You being late like that, it isn't accepted here. If something has to be done, finish it without any question. Your future missions will be even more difficult, so don't get used to being `lucky' all the time.” “What do you mean?” “I believe that you might be a worthy candidate to join the Akatsuki.” Your face went into complete shock. “Me? How?” “Your knowledge of certain villages, for one. You're also quite flexible with some other members as well… your strength: exceptional…could use a bit more work…. you're more like a diamond in the rough... ” Your face grew warm for a few seconds. “Well, yeah, but…. I don't think--- d-did you just call me a woman?” He chuckled darkly. “I'll consider you staying with us for a few days, and we'll see where it goes from there...” You walked away from him, clutching your right arm.
“Yeah, that's great and all, but honestly…. I don't want to be here. This isn't what I plan on doing for the rest of my life.” You flashed your wounded torso, thanks to Zetsu. “I appreciate the praise, though.”
There was silence.
“…”
In a blink of an eye, his fist connects to your face. Leaving you dumbfounded. Various colors filled your eyes, and you black-out from the blow.
The next day, you wake up, to feel cold metal wrapped around your neck, to the bottom of your ankles. You felt very dizzy and confused. “Nnnggh… w-w-where… am I…” You look down to the ground, and noticed that you were floating in the air. You also discovered cut up corpses lying on the blood splattered floor. Looking at them made you feel queasy. “What the-” You threw up a little bit in your mouth, and swallowed shakily. “What the hell is this…!” You tried to break free from the metal's clutches, prying it open with the sides of your upper arms. Instead, you ended up having some of your flesh sliced open.
“You're awake.”
“I can see that, now get me down, please.” Blood dripped from your arms, to your fingertips, to the floor. You look around to see where the voice came from. A person with dark red hair was sitting at his desk, watching you with seductive eyes. He smiled slightly. “I cannot.”
“Why?!”
“I'm supposed to make sure you won't do anything foolish again, like that right there.” He pointed to the left side of his cheek, letting you know he was aware of what happened to you. You turn away from him gritting your teeth. You wanted to cover up your wounded face badly, but your hands remained tightly at its sides. You cursed under your breath.
“After leader left you here, I considered doing something that would benefit both of us.” He started. You turn your gaze towards him. “What …” Then, for some reason, you started to suspect something. Bodies on the ground… this, `thing' keeping you tied up…wait, is that… a puppet?! It even resembled a person somewhat, kneeled on the ground, but the tail on it gave it a demonic appearance. Weapons, blades, poisons. If you didn't know any better, you'd say he was going to turn you into a puppet! Your heart beat grew faster with fear. “Y-you wouldn't….” You stammered. He looked at you and nodded. “Yes, I would. I think dual blades would best suit you...” He was now standing by your `levitating' form. The tail holding you up slowly lowered to his height, so he could get a closer look at you. “Truthfully, I believe that you are quite… beautiful…” You got a closer look of him as well, hoping that he'd free you. You admitted to yourself that he was pretty handsome. He would seem like the `twisted seducer' out of the Akatsuki. His hand reached out to touch your swollen cheek. “Shame, that I could care less of what happens to you…” Your eyes widened, not believing a word he just said. Today was the day you'd die. Die, and become a puppet/weapon. You were about to scream, when a small knife was closing in on your face….
“OI!! SASORI NO DANNA!!!”
