Pein stood there, his face blank. I sighed. "After Mother took me back to the den, I was extremely angry and depressed. I went through my first transformation, apparently it's caused by strong emotions. Every year, on the anniversary of my parents deaths, the feelings flood back and I transform. The transformation seemingly robs my of the kind of morality humans have. Depending on the level of negative emotions, I become increasingly savage and animalistic. I have to be careful what I do, because it's easy to let the animal take control." My eyes teared up. "I'm sorry, Pein. But I can't be around people. I'm a monster and I only hurt people." I looked up at him, and to my surprise, he wore a pained expression. "Do you have to go, Sora? Everyone in the Akatsuki has grown to...to love you...like a sister. We don't want you to leave." As he said this, I noticed that the rest of the Akatsuki had gathered in the doorway. All of them wearing pained expressions. "I'm sorry, but..." I bit my lip to keep from crying. " I love you guys too. But I have other missions to complete. I have to study some of the people in Konoha and..." I choked up. This was not like me, I was growing soft.

Soft is dangerous. But I didn't really care at that moment. I looked back up at them. The Akatsuki. My Akatsuki. "C-can you guys visit me?" They all nodded simultaneously. Hidan smirked. "Why the hell wouldn't we visit you, Babe? But we will have to arrange it. It's not like we can just go waltz into Konoha." I nodded weakly. "O-okay." The tears started streaming. "Okay." They all hugged me one by one. I squeezed each of them tightly, not wanting to let go. Hidan cupped my chin and tilted it upwards, his left arm around my waist. "I'll miss ya. Fuck you for leaving." He bent over until our noses almost touched, I blushed furiously. And then-- he head butted me. "Ow ow ow. Hidan, what the hell?" He smirked. "Karma's a bitch. What, where you expecting something more? Maybe a kiss?" He taunted me, pursing his lips and making kissing sounds. Deidara slapped him on the arm. " Of course she was. You almost DID kiss her. And now she's never going to be kissed, poor Sora." He frowned and looked at me pitifully. "Hey! I will too get kissed!!" He smirked back at me.

"So you HAVEN'T been kissed yet, have you?" I stuttered, trying to come up with a badass comeback. But suddenly, Deidara grabbed my waist, pulling my towards him and kissing me. I let out a startled sound as he finally let me go. "What was that for?!" Deidara shrugged. "I dunno. I liked the mural, so this is how I'll repay you, un." I wiped my mouth, but on the inside I was kind of flattered, even if I knew that he didn't like me.

At that moment, Tobi got one of his "bright" ideas. "If you kiss someone, it means you like them right? Let's all kiss Sora goodbye!"

Fuck.

Not that I really minded being kissed by them...I shook the thought out of my head. Tobi TRIED to kiss me, his wooden mask giving me a nosebleed. "Ow, Tobi." Tobi shied away. "Tobi's sorry, Tobi didn't mean to hurt you."

"I'm sure that Tobi didn't. It's fine." I pinched my nose, the blood dripping onto my lips. Hidan smirked again, licking his lips. "Let me help." He leaned forward and licked the blood off my lips, all while smirking. I blushed harder. "This is not how normal people say goodbye." I whispered. But Deidara and Hidan where fighting about who had the right to kiss me. Itachi glared at me. " Do you expect me to kiss you, too?" I opened my mouth. "No, actually I-" He leaned in and gave my what I guess he thought was a "kiss". His lips pushed against mine forcefully, bruising them. Seriously? How many kisses was I going to get?!

*cough* Not that I minded.

I stopped Zetsu from leaning in. "You don't have to." His dark side smirked triumphantly, his light side frowned.

I walked out of the building, turning around at the entrance for one last goodbye. "If you guys need my help, just ask. And don't hesitate to come to visit." I smiled. The Akatsuki smiled back and waved as I walked away.

I kept walking until I couldn't hear Tobi's wailing anymore.

Sorry it's short, on my phone :/.

I'll TRY to update once a week. Did you like it?? Sorry I made the guys that I like the most in the Akatsuki kiss her...and poor Zetsu. Half of him looked disappointed.

SO ANSWER THIS QUESTION!!!:

Whose the Akatsuki member that you like the most and why?

And by like i mean like like. Oh and I swear each time Hidan or Deidara enters the picture I get closer and closer to writing a sex scene....which I probably shouldn't....but I

Might....or not....-.- I'm an extremely inappropriate person, sorry. I don't mean to be perverted.
