I do not own pic!

"[name][last name], will be our new member"
The leader revealed the identity of the new target of the organization, [name]? Now they need a medical unit?
Itachi absolutely didn't like this, he have been making sure no one of the organization finds out about his relationship with [name] for this reason, he wanted her to stay away from this, the girl has nothing to do with wars and all this mess, she is so soft and delicate, she isn't even a ninja or lives in a ninja nation in the first place.
But when the Akatsuki wants someone, they get him or her, reasons and excuses don't matter to them, they are gonna bring her one way or another.

"[name]? Is that the girl who healed me?", Deidara asked with a hint of excitement in his voice, Itachi gave him a side glare in the darkness, some are already getting excited.
"Yes Deidara, it is her", the leader said as the other members who haven't met you before were still wondering what addition could this girl add to their organization, and whether if she is truly worthy to join.
"She will be a burden, she can heal, but she will be killed easily", Itachi said in a calm voice as always, never showing a sign that he is unpleasant.
"She won't be if we train her, and also, her work is mainly to heal injured or exhausted members, we don't want her to get engaged in battles directly, our organization needs her abilities", Konan said, apparently they had already took their final decision about her.

"And what if she refuses to come?", Itachi asked, of course to some this sounded a silly question, she doesn't have a choice, but he wanted to know what are the true intentions the leader have toward [name], to what limits he is ready to go for her.
"In that case, we will warn her that her village will be destroyed, if she insists, we will destroy it, she will not have a place to get to anyways, that, if she survives", the man with lots of piercings said.
Kisame himself didn't like idea, he knew his partner might have already set up some plans for the two of them and everything is gonna be ruined now, and the girl is absolutely not the right person to join such an organization, he looked at his partner, seeing no sign of being upset, yet he knew he wasn't glad with this...what are you gonna do Itachi?

"I will go bring her then", Kisame's eyes widened hearing the Uchiha's voice, it seems his partner is still as cold hearted and indifferent as always, or...could he be thinking of some sort of a plan?
"That's good, Itachi, you and Kisame go gather her since you already know her location, give me a sign when the job is done and bring her to our northern hideout, we will meet again there and introduce her to the rest of our members and finish her joining necessary measurements, as well as explaining for her what her duties are", the leader said, as he the proceeded to explain to the other members their missions.

The meeting has been over, and everyone else had gone on a different path, yet Itachi couldn't stop thinking, what will be your reaction? What will you think of him? Just yesterday he have been with you, spending a lovely night together, you kept his clothes saying he will need them the next time he comes to you, is there even gonna be a next time?
You slept peacefully next to him, putting your trust in him and feeling safe with him, is that what he is gonna do to pay you back for your gentleness, care and love?

Itachi told Kisame to rest for two days before they go to you, which the shark-man didn't refuse.
The third day, the festival has ended, and everyone are back to their normal life, including you.
"Lady Noriko, I'm leaving now!", you said excidelty, heading out toward the forest near the village to pick up some mushrooms, well, you weren't sure you will find some but in case you did, it will be a delicious dinner for sure.
You were in the forest, not too deep in it or distant from your village, with your hat on your head, humming a song as you searched for mushrooms nearby, you only could find just two, still you didn't give up, because the taste of it is worth the searching.

"Kisame, stay back", Itachi said calmly to his partner, who just nodded and stood under a tree and watched silently, as the Uchiha walked toward the girl who has been at a distance away from them, searching for something around.
You were busy looking for the mushroom that you didn't even notice their appearance, it was only when Itachi had gotten close enough when you heard the sound of his footsteps on the grass.
You flinched at first at this new commer, but then you smiled brightly as you turned around seeing that it's Itachi, what a beautiful surprise!

"Itachi! Why didn't you tell me you're coming? I missed you...", you said with excitement at first, before your smile then slowly dropped, noticing the indifferent look on his face, as well as...his partner who has been leaning against a tree watching you from a distance.
"I-Itachi what is it? What's the matter?", you said, starting to feel uncomfortable, looking at the blue skinned man then back at Itachi.
"[name], I have a mission to bring you to the Akatsuki", he said in a cold and monotone voice, simply.
"What? For what purpose?", the shock and surprise were too obvious on your face, the Akatsuki? Didn't he say a few days ago you should stay away from them and be careful, now he is here to take you there? Why? Is it another healing service? What's going on?

"You have been chosen to be the new member [name], the leader seems to be amazed by your healing abilities, thus he wants you to join", he explained, as if it was something totally normal.
"What if I don't come?!", you asked, frowning, feeling more hurt by his coldness than the things he came for, he seemed like there was nothing between you two, like...he doesn't even know you.
"Your village will be attacked and destroyed, you either join and save your village and yourself or...", he trialed off, taking a kunai out of his cloak.
You swallowed hard, is this really him?...
Is this the sweet and lover Itachi? or the one who slaughtered the Uchiha clan in one night?
"Or what?!...you will kill me?...", you said with a low voice, feeling that your powers are betraying you, feeling defendlesss against him.
He didn't answer your question, but he focused more on your eyes, his eyes were black though, without his sharingan activated.
"So what is your choice [name]?", he asked, still in that cold voice of his.

[name], this is the first test for your love for him, what will you do?
Hate him or still decide to be by his side? even though this last option sounds foolish, if he himself is pushing you to hate him...
"I have one condition...", you muttered, there is no point is discussing things with him, it seemed that he doesn't even listen...
"And what would that be?"
"I need to go back first...tell...lady Noriko and gets my stuff...", you muttered, was this all planned by him from the beginning? Was he just...acting?
"You have one hour, go now", he said in a monotone voice, hiding the kunai back inside his cloak, as you bite your lip, how bad can this turn?
