The Walk to Ame

[Ck]

Emi wasn't going to let the next one hit her, she was sure of that. She watched Konan closely, waiting and as she threw her next one, she skidded to the side. It missed her by barely an inch but Emi was glad she wasn't hit again. She took a deep breath, winced for it hurt and looked to Pein.

She realized he didn't need her very much as he spoke but came to the conclusion that she would need him. She tried to smile wryly but it didn't work to well. She looked like she was kind of smirking but not the wicked smirks, like an amused one. "You shouldn't let me die because one, I am low key in Ame but I am loyal enough that it would be a surprise for me to switch sides. Espically considering, I have no more family and Ame is..."safe" for me. Also, I use flame jutsus...and well, Ame is a water country...wouldn't it be a plus to have someone with fire?" She asked, raising her eyebrow again.

Konans eyes watched the girl move. So her body did move, she wasn't a talking statue. She still winced as it cut along side her leg. The girl had two wounds anyway, she could always sit and watch her bleed to death. That was always quite a fun thing, although it did drag out, but she could amuse herself with her origami and make another more elaborate flower to keep herself entertained.

Her eyes went to the face of the girl who was now trying to be smart, but failing at it. Listening to her excuses, she was sure there were others like her that would say the same thing, but she kept her thoughts to herself. Her hands went back to her sides as the girl explained she used fire. She showed nothing about her thoughts on this, but inside she wasn't too happy about it. Soon the sheets of paper around her started to lift and she made six paper planes, which then started to circle round the girl, tormenting as they poked her with their sharp points one by one.

[Sasuke Uchiha]

Sasuke was walking along since he heard this road was very deserted and noticed three figures up ahead, he stopped immediately. Seeing the very same coat his brother wears. "Akatsuki!" Sasuke whispered under his breath as he saw one of the figures make some floating paper objects. "Hmm how is paper supposed to hurt anyone?" Sasuke said to himself as he tried to sneak around to try and get closer so he could hear what they were saying. He'd attack them if he had to, and he noticed them fighting a girl, she might be able to help him if he needed it. He was gonna try and follow them to his hideout unless he was spotted.

[Reborn]

Looking to the girl, Pein was slightly impressed by her determination and nodded slowly before sighing. "So, you can control fire, in a land of rain. Tell me how that helps us out." Slowly his eyes went to Konan and he looked to the girl once more. "And it doesn't seem like Konan is too impressed by that. I may let her choose whether or not you would be of use to us."

He then thought for a moment before walking to the girl slowly and sliding his hand out of his cloak, holding onto her cheeks. "Tell me your name girl." But as soon as he asked this question, Pein took a few steps back and spoke up to the new comer. "I would not advise you to sneak around. And I would also advise you not to use your eyes, as they are useless against me."

[Ck]

Emi looked at Konan, in her head she was glaring at her for she was making more paper things. If there was one thing Emi and Hana shared, it would be a merciless glare but Emi only did it mentally. /Don't want to tick off the people who's probably hold your life in their hands/ She thought and in her eyes, you could see she was a bit troubled. She clenched her teeth and her hands became fists as she fought of the urge to crush the paper planes that kept poking her.

Emi unclenched her jaw when Pein began talking again. "Well, no one else would be able to fight it off easily, they're not used to fighting with fire" She said. Her eyes flashed a smidge of frustration mixed with worry but she tried to remain calm. She breathed through her nose slowly as he took her face in his hands and as she exhaled she said, "Hamagushi Emi." She had yet to take notice of Sasuke but she felt like someone was watching. /It's the woman watching you.../ She told herself though she scarcely believed it. Then, Pein was speaking to him and Emi relaized someone else was tehre. /Run, whomever you are, run away.../ She thought.

[Sasuke Uchiha]

Sasuke was listening to the conversation, and disgusted by the way the two Akatsuki members were treating the girl. "I should probably do something, and plus I could always take out two of the Akatsuki members." Sasuke said to himself smirking. He pulled out two shuriken and got them ready, but he decided to wait a little longer. The orange haired person seemed to be of higher rank than the girl so he was waiting to see his powers. "After I defeat these two I'll find out their base and kill Itachi."

[Allanha]

Konan's eyes watched the girl until Pein spoke of another being here. Her eyes went to their corners, looking around. She began making a butterfly slowly, taking her time again. There was no need to rush anyway. The butterfly took off, flying towards Sasuke and circling high above him, watching his every move. What was it, the day of fire users? Her eyes went to look to Pein, seeing what he thought.

She soon heard the girls pathetic excuse of why fire would be helpful. Surely she should know water takes out fire. She looked down, not saying anything or showing that she felt anything. Only Pein could read her anyway. Slowly her eyes went to look at the butterflies again, as Sasuke spoke of defeat. Some chance he would have, and with two shuriken, maybe she would give him a round of applause later, sarcastically of course.

[Reborn]

Hearing the girls reasoning behind what she said brought a slight smile to the face of Pein, but it was soon ended as he heard the boy's words. Shaking his head a moment, his eyes went to Konan and nodded slowly. "Take care of the girl, but don't kill her. She might actually be of some use." His eyes then went to Sasuke.

"Truly boy, you have no idea who I am. In a flash I could end your life right here. Your little eyes, can't do anything to me." The wind around him began to change slightly as he turned his entire body, but leaving his hands in the sleeves of his cloak.

[Sasuke Uchiha]

Sasuke stood up and laughed at the man's threat. Then placed the shuriken back in his pocket knowing they'd probably do no good. "You obviously do not know who I am, because then you'd know there's no way you could defeat me." Sasuke said then stopped, almost seemingly in fear. Those eyes....they're not any normal kind of eyes, but I've never heard of another clan with eye jutsus. Only the Uchiha and Hyuuga. This guy could be pretty dangerous then. Sasuke thought to himself then looked to the girl. "It seems I may need your help to get out of here alive, girl. You better have some kind of jutsu that is useful." He spoke to Emi. Then he turned his attention back to Pein "Now then, why don't we let our fighting do the talking?" Sasuke said pulling out his chokuto and activating his sharingan, waiting for Pein to make the first move.

[Allanha]

Konan looked to Pein as he spoke to her, "Understood" Was her simple reply as she made her way over to the girl, taking her time. On her way she made a few more paper planes and let them fly around her, poking at the girl. If she moved, the planes would move to pierce through her. Her soft blue eyes watched the planes move in and out, every now and then glancing to Pein to see how he was doing.

Her eyes moved back to the girl and glanced over her wounds. She couldn't help but feel a bit happier inside as she saw how deep they were. Moving her head down in her cloaks collar, she peered at the girl while making another paper butterfly to send off.

[Reborn]

Looking to the Uchiha, Pein raised an eyebrow slowly and shook his head as the boy started his Sharingan. "I told you, Sasuke. Your eyes will do nothing to help you out. It would have been better if you went on your way and tried to find your brother. Unfortunately now, you won't have that luxory." Pein then went through a series of hand seals and placed his hand upon the ground.

Soon from the ground five beings stood up and all six stood side by side, all showing off the same orange hair and the same concentric eyes.

[Sasuke Uchiha]

"Uhh, what....where did these other five come from? Who is this guy?" Sasuke said to himself. "No matter, I can take as many people as he dishes out, but they all have those weird eyes, I better be careful." Sasuke began to do some handsigns, then put his hands to his mouth "Fire style: grand fireball jutsu!" Sasuke shot a huge fireball at the Pein that was there originally then jumped up and threw kunai at each of the other ones. He hit the ground and waited for their next move. I'll have to distract the rest while I attack one, hmm I can use snakes to distract the others. This will be hard, but I can do it. What does he mean my sharingan won't work?

[Ck]

Emi dug her nails deep into her fists as she watched the planes wiz around her. She looked to the wound that was in the middle of her stomach and she sighed as she realized she couldn't heal it. She never wanted to be a medical ninja. /It would come in handy...espicallu since the guy told her that she could do whatever as long as she didn't kill me/ She thought, frowning at it. She felt blood trickle from her palms as she tried not to get rid of the planes. /Fighting back may just make them angry.../

When Sasuke told her to help, she rolled her eyes. /I'll take my chances.../ She thought. He obviosuly didn't know what group they were from. She knew enough from stories and such that they were good in a bad way and she didn't want some old fellow telling the sotry of how she died to strangers. Her eyes flickered back to Konan and wondered what strange torment she would go through, so she could live.

[Allanha]

Konan watched the six being from the corner of her eye. She knew Sasuke didn't have a chance of winning. If he was defeated so easily by one little person, he wouldn't be known as what he is. Looking between the girl and Sasuke, she wondered if the girl would move to try and help him. If she did, it would be more fun for her to have with the girl, watching her bleed and suffer in pain.

As she watched the girl try to fight of the paper planes, she couldn't help but let her satisfaction grow inside of her. The planes began to poke around the wounds on her shoulder and stomach, while two continued to poke else where.While that was going on, Konan began to take her time on making another shuriken to entertain herself with.

[Reborn]

Looking to Sasuke, all six Pein's smiled slightly as the boy went through a series of hand seals. As soon as the fireballs began flying the bigger one of the group jumped in front and seemingly absorbed the ninjutsu while the others knocked away the shurikens with their spears. Then one of the skinnier ones moved to the back and began moving through a series of hand seals before he summoned a giant bear and hopped on top, moving towards Sasuke.

"There's no way you can defeat me. I told you, if you wish to defeat your brother, avenge your family, run now while I will still let you run."
