You are out training in the forest one day when someone sneaks up from behind you and puts you in a choke hold!

You struggle, trying to free yourself from their grip, but it only tightens.

"W-what do you want?! Who are you!?" you manage to get out as you continue struggling. The person doesn't reply. Instead, they pull you towards them. Their voice is low and raspy.

"You don't need to know," they say, their breath fanning your face, the tall trees reaching for the sky, and the wind blowing the leaves in all directions. You smell the stench of smoke and alcohol, indicating that the person holding you is either drunk, or barely drunk.

'I can use this to my advantage!' you think. 'But then again...' Your thoughts are interrupted by a pain-filled groan. The person's grip on you eases, allowing you to slip out of their grasp. You turn around and get into a fighting stance, only to be completely shocked by the scene before you.

You are faced with none other than Kisame, in the fighting stance, but slightly wobbled. 'Probably had too much sake,' you think. He comes at you with a punch, but you easily dodge and trip him. He falls face down on the ground, mumbling something incomprehensible. You laugh and run away before he gets up.

It's been around 10 minutes since you left Kisame, and you continue your training a mile farther into the forest. Just as you're practicing your new jutsu on a helpless squirrel, someone ELSE comes up behind you and grabs you in a tight hold. "Come with me," he says. The voice is soft and smooth, and it's obviously someone different this time.

'Greaaat,' you think as you walk backwards, following him. You start to think of a plan to escape his grip, but then you're hit sharply in the back of the neck. You stumble forward and take a look back, only to see Itachi standing there as you fall into the welcoming arms of unconsciousness.

Itachi watches as you start falling and quickly catches you with ease. His crimson eyes turn to see that Kisame is mere feet from him, swaying from side to side.

"Hah! We caught her!" he says in a drunken manner, holding one hand up in satisfaction at their 'teamwork.' Itachi just stares at Kisame unemotionally.

"Let's go," says Itachi, his voice cold. Itachi turns from him, carrying you on his shoulder and walking to the Akatsuki base.

"Right," replies Kisame as he falls face first into the dirt. He lifts his head up but Itachi is already out of site.

Your eyes slowly open to see a gray ceiling above you. You're lying down on some sort of cot. You slowly come to the realization that you had been kidnapped by Itachi.

Suddenly, the door opens, and the one you were thinking of right then walks in.

"Why did you kidnap me?!" you yell, jumping up.

Itachi looks at you blankly. It seems like forever before he replies. "Leader wants your powers."

You look at him with disbelief. "My powers? Are you sure you didn't get me mixed up with some great, powerful ninja?"

Itachi keeps that emotionless expression on his face as he says, "Even if I did, it doesn't matter." He swiftly walks over to you, coming inches away from your face, as he continues. "I want you for different reasons anyway."

You just look up at Itachi in shock and horror. You open and close your mouth for a few moments before anything comes out.

"F-for different r-reasons..?" you repeat as a question as you continue to look at him in shock. He looks at you with his deep, crimson eyes for a long time, staying silent.

"Yes," is his cool reply, as he grabs your wrists and closes the gap between you two in a possessive kiss. You gasp at the contact, giving him access to your mouth. He thrusts his tongue in your craven, memorizing every detail. Your eyes widen and you try to push him away from you, but he has a strong grip on your hands. Tears brim your eyelashes as he continues to kiss you. They fall down your cheeks and he lets go of you and backs away. Turning, he walks away, leaving you in total shock at what just happened. He closes the door and locks it, leaving you to just stare at it with tearful eyes, hoping that that was all he is going to do.

You just sit back down on the bed, in total shock, tears falling down your cheeks. Who knew the infamous Itachi could be so... so...

You fall down on your back, thinking about what just happened. How does Itachi even know you?! You sigh.

Hours pass before the door opens again. This time, though, it's Kisame. "Leader-sama wants to talk to you," he says. "Now!"

You start getting a little scared, still jumpy from what happened earlier. You follow Kisame closely, and you can smell that he is still drunk, perhaps even more than before. As you pass through hallways filled with doors, you wonder how huge the Akatsuki hideout is.

Minutes later, you pass what looks like the exit. Taking one more glance at Kisame, who is swaying slightly in front of you, you bolt for the door and escape to freedom. When you are already yards outside the hideout, you hear a "Hey!" come from back inside. You chuckle to yourself, having outsmarted him again.

You're running as fast as you can, afraid of patrols walking around outside. You've gotten quite a ways away when you're tripped into a huge mud puddle, getting it all over your outfit. You look around for the stick or whatever your foot caught on, only to see someone clad in the Akatsuki cloak.

"Well, look who escaped, yeah."

You look up to see a blond male looking down at you. Getting to your knees, you wipe some mud off your face so you can see better, but are stopped when said male grabs your arm roughly and pulls you to your feet. You try to pry his hand off you but it won't budge. You have no choice but to keep following him.

"As Kisame had said, Leader-sama wants to speak to you," said the strange man. His grip on you is tight, making escape impossible. So once again, you are walking through the halls of the base, passing door after door, hallway after hallway.

"You never should have tried to escape, yeah. Now Leader-sama is going to give you a horrible punishment, yeah," said the male smiling, the bangs covering his left eye, making the smile seem horribly evil. You look down in despair at the mud on you drying and becoming crusty. Suddenly you stop walking and look up to see a tall double-door. The blond opens the door leading into a dark chamber whose only source of light is a few lit candles. As you look around the chamber you can feel someone's intense gaze on you. You look to where you feel the gaze coming from only to lock gazes with the one person you hoped you wouldn't have to see.

"Itachi..." you whisper, your voice full of horror as he continues looking at you.

He looks at you, his face still expressionless. "Ahem," you hear a voice from the other side of the room say. "It is not him you are here to see."

You look over at the source of the voice to see a chair turned around with the back to you. Obviously, this "leader" doesn't want to reveal what he looks like.

"I have heard about your exceptional powers, and how you haven't always gotten along with the other shinobi in Konoha," the leader states. "We think you'd be a perfect addition to the Akatsuki. You won't be a prisoner forever, you know. The sooner you get used to being an S-class criminal, the better."

You're starting to get nervous. They really think you're that good? You notice the blond standing next to you, with a look in his eyes that shows he isn't paying attention to what's going on in this room at all.

"That is all," the leader says. "You may go to your room now. Itachi will be the one watching over you until you fully accept us. Expect to go out training with him later today."

You stand in full shock. Itachi is supposed to watch over you?! That's the worst thing to ever happen!

"Go now," Leader-sama says. He sounds irritated, making you scared.

"Y-yes," you stammer. You start to bolt out the door, only to be stopped by Itachi. When did he get over here?

"I suppose you know the way to your room?" Itachi questions, slightly raising one eyebrow.

You blush, getting really embarrassed, considering three Akatsuki members are in this room. "Well," you start. "Not really..."

As Itachi leads you to your room, you spot an unfamiliar face walk past. His face is emotionless and his eyes are cold. You slightly shiver at the sight of him, walking just a little bit faster.

"You don't have to break a sweat. He's just Koske," Itachi says, not sounding like he cares at all.

"Who's that?" you ask, clueless.

"Koske was the new member before Leader-sama wanted you."

"Oh.."

The two of you continue to walk and finally reach the room. You are suddenly pushed in and you hear the click of the door locking. You turn around and, that's right, Itachi is standing right there. You slightly blush as he backs you into a wall.

You look at him fearfully as he takes a step towards you. Your blush increases as he stands in front of you, looking down as he takes his hand and puts it on your cheek, rubbing it softly, his crimson eyes still holding no emotion whatsoever.

"W-what are you doing?" you ask, his face inching closer to yours.

"This..." he says smoothly, before placing his lips forcefully upon yours. This time though, you don't do anything, knowing that if you open your mouth the slightest he will stick his tongue in. You continue standing there as Itachi kisses you. Suddenly, though, the kiss grows softer and actually... passionate, making you want to kiss back.

'No! This is an S-class criminal!' you think. 'But he's a great kisser... wait, what am I thinking?!' You can't take it anymore. Losing all self-control you kiss him back, equally passionate. He licks your bottom lip asking for entrance, and you hesitantly oblige by slowly opening your lips. He plunges his tongue in your mouth, wrestling your tongue for dominance. All of the sudden a loud bang on the door causes you two to break apart. You gasp for air, as does he.

"Open the door!" shouts someone, their voice filled with impatience. Itachi strides over to the door, unlocks it and there stands...

"Itachi? Why was the door locked?" a woman with blue hair asks, miffed and perplexed.

He remains expressionless as he replies. "I was explaining the rules of the base to our new addition," he says. "I didn't want anyone bothering us."

'That's bull....' you think, at least to the first part.

The woman sighs, knowing it's pointless to argue with Itachi. "Well, it's time for dinner. Get the girl and hurry up."

You just watch their conversation, speechless. There's another girl in Akatsuki? This would be good, if she didn't seem so mean. You follow Itachi down the hall, past many many doors, and into the kitchen.

You're surprised to see a delicious-looking dinner, made mostly from fish, sitting on the table. You recognize some people already sitting at the table: Kisame, the blond man, and Koske. There is, however, a man in an orange mask with a swirl on it, and a man with half of his face white and half of it black. This guy also has what looks like a giant Venus fly trap on his head.

You sit down nervously. The woman introduces everyone, and proceeds to explain more. "My name is Konan. Leader-sama will not be joining us. There are also two more people in patrol around Konoha. With that aside, go ahead and eat. You're lucky we feed you."
