The wind blew across the field playing with Eri's silky white hair as she looked at Itachi in shock. She managed to blink a few times then finally asked, "It's really you isn't it Itachi-san…?"

"Yes…"

"You know this girl Itachi?" asked his blue skinned companion.

"She's… a member of a clan that was allied with mine… so we'd see each other when we were young," Itachi replied.

"So would she be happy to see you?" he teased.

"Shut it Kisame…"

"Why are you here?" Eri asked interrupting the conversation.

"Our leader sent us here… for you Eri Sincera," said the tall Kisame.

"Why me?"

"He didn't say, just told us to come and get you," Kisame replied.

"By force if necessary…?" Eri guessed.

"Well aren't we a smart one?" he chuckled.

"Or just a good guesser…"Eri muttered

"So then, are you going to come willingly or by force? Both of which work with me," Kisame smirked.

Eri bit her lip a little. She could never beat Itachi when they were younger, hell he slaughtered the whole Uchiha clan single-handedly, there was no way in all the nine realms of hell she could ever beat him. She had enough sense to know that. His companion she might have a chance with… might… but even that was a slim chance. She hasn't been training to fight; she's been training to heal. In short Eri knew she was screwed. She wouldn't get herself to run away, it just seemed so cowardly… and probably wouldn't help…

"I think I'm screwed really…" Eri admitted. "Two against one isn't a little unfair?"

"It doesn't have to be if you're willing to fight, you might be entertaining," Kisame said unstrapping a large bandaged sword from his back. Eri glanced at Itachi, but he was only watching, seeming to be no help to her or his companion.

"I should warn you if you take me away my brother will notice I'm gone," Eri said, not knowing how it would help but maybe they hadn't thought of Yoichi.

"Yoichi currently thinks you've taken his advice to have a life and are playing hooky for a week expecting him to cover for you," Itachi replied without a second thought.

"Stupid Yoichi… Wait… you knew about that?" Eri asked feeling a bit violated.

"We stuck around and eavesdropped a bit yes, Itachi insists on planning ahead and well it's paying off since now I believe you are stuck, or as you more blatantly put it, screwed."

Itachi's sigh brought her attention to him. "Kisame," he said looking at the blue skinned man. Even though Kisame would love to just attack their target, if Eri escaped and told the village of their presence it would spell trouble. They just had to keep talking.

Kisame nodded, time for a change in tactic. "But… If you're so against going… I guess we can use that genjutsu Itachi put on your brother and have him come with us instead… though I don't know if leader will like that… he usually kills prisoners he didn't want… but who knows?"

Eri looked at them in disbelief; they wouldn't seriously bring him into this. "You better leave Yoichi alone," she demanded.

"Come with us and your brother will remain unharmed. After all Leader asked for you, if you come willingly then there is no reason to disturb him," he countered.

"You know what? Fine. You said he won't expect me for a week right? Does that mean your leader is planning on letting me return?" Eri asked.

"We cannot say for certain…"

Eri sighed, that was the best answer she was going to get. "Fine, I'll go with you."

"Good, now so you don't try any funny business… We'll have to knock you out…"

Eri glared at the blue skinned man, unconscious with a man she didn't know and another she no longer trusted? Fuck no.

"I'm sorry I'm not complying to that, you'll just have to trust me," she countered.

"Actually girl it's us who have to apologize, we aren't risking anything just so you can be comfortable."

"But I have to say I don't exactly trust my unconscious body with two strange men," Eri frowned stepping back a bit. "I'll go along with you guys but I'm going to be conscious and walking with you."

"Again so sorry, but you no longer have a say here," Kisame said. Then the swords hilt expanded and started racing towards Eri. Eri avoided it just in time and avoided it again as it turned back. Kisame chuckled and watched as Eri could only avoid the attacks. Kayo made her leave her sword and weapons at home before they had gone to train, leaving her to rely on taijutsu. Kisame chuckled at the show, not noticing Eri was coming closer.

Suddenly a foot connected with Kisame's cheek when Eri finally came close enough to land a hit. He staggered back a bit holding his cheek as Eri landed on her feet. But Kisame reacted quickly and used the clothed blade of the sword to trip her up and send her falling on her back. Then the halt of the sword wrapped around her.

Eri tried to get away but the she noticed the sword was doing something to her. "M-My chakra…" She gasped.

"Yes, and Samehada seems to like it, not as much as mine of course but likes it none the less. It might just drain you dry," he smirked.

"Kisame that's enough, we should have left by now," Itachi said. Kisame nodded and picked up the girl.

Eri's eyes widened, "Put me down…" she said almost having a panicky edge in her voice.

"What? Afraid I'll drop you?"

Eri was quiet, not wanting to admit to it. She hated being picked up by anyone but people she most trusted, she didn't like falling. Kisame only chuckled as Itachi put a finger under Eri's chin making her look at him, again Eri had forgotten the sharingan and looked at him. One swirl of the dot-like designs on Itachi irises and Eri was out cold.

Madara was anticipating Eri's arrival and pacing in his room. He had things set, he had an alias to walk around in, he had a reason for her to be brought to the Akatsuki, all he needed was her and then he can let the ball roll. He still didn't know why this woman haunted his mind so, but it was driving him to an edge. He needed to find out before it really started interfering with his goals. A knock was as his door, with a deep breath he looked at his reflection in the window and put on the façade of being indifferent towards the girl's arrive.

"Itachi and Kisame have completed their mission…"

"They brought her?"

"Yes, she's in the holding chambers until she wakes up."

"Good, have her brought out and offer her our little deal when she comes to… She'll be more useful and less of a task to control if she feels she can make her own choices. But emphasize on what can happen if she refuses…"

"Yes sir."

"Dismissed," said the Uchiha. When left alone he sighed and watched the rain fall yet again. Let the ball start rolling…

Eri groaned a bit as she came out of her unconscious state. Her head was foggy and it took her a minute to remember why she wasn't at home in bed. She panicked a little and sat up on the concrete level that stood out from the wall. Eri sighed, what did she let herself get into? She slowly stood up and looked around a little. It looked like an old age prison, only no windows. She found what seemed to be the only exit from the room was a heavy looking door with bars set into it. She walked over and went on her tip toes to peek through and see on the other side. There she saw the blue skinned shark like man again.

"Hey you, where am I?" she asked, not remembering his name.

"You are at our one of our main bases," Kisame replied standing up.

"So what is the meaning of this?" Eri demanded.

"Don't go losing your skirt, we just put you in there in case you came to when someone wasn't around," Kisame explained, "We don't want you wondering on your own till you talk with our leader."

Eri nodded and waited as Kisame opened the door as she kept herself from retorting on the skirt comment, Eri did not wear skirts. With that he encouraged her to follow him down the hallway. She couldn't help but glance around a bit, even the hallways in this place seemed a bit forbidding.

"Your leader… is he… um…" Eri started but broke off not really knowing what word to use.

"You'll just have to see for yourself," Kisame replied as they walked up to a door. With that he opened it and all but shoved her into the room then closed it behind her.

The inside of the room was dark the only source of light was a light bulb in the ceiling to light the center of the room. There in the center was the man that Eri assumed was the leader. His hair was short and spiked with a ginger coloring. His eyes were grey with rings around his pupils, and there were piercings all over his face. Eri took a deep breath and step forward into the light.

"I assume you are the girl named Eri?" came his voice.

"Yes I am," she replied

"Good, now we can get down to business…"

"Can I ask why you sent for me?" Eri asked

The ginger haired man looked at her. "Because you are of the Sincera clan correct?"

"Well yes," Eri replied looking slightly confused.

"Then you know of your clan's genetics and abilities, and that you are the last one known to display all the abilities, do you not?"

Eri nodded, remaining members of her clan had the healing abilities but due to marrying out of the clan their bloodline was thinning thus their powers weren't as strong as hers. But no one seemed to know quiet why Eri's was still strong like a pure Sincera, "But how do you-"

"We do our research," Pein replied.

"Fine, but why do you want me? You haven't explained that," she countered.

"Well if you're going to be rude then Kisame can throw you back in your cell," Pein replied looking at her very disinterested.

Eri bit her lip and just watched him. Pein smirked a bit, "Good girl, now as to why I had Itachi and his partner collect you was… hmm how to put it… in your own best interest really."

"My own best interest eh?"

"Are you familiar with a man by the man of Orochimaru?"

"I've heard the name in passing…"

"Well he is an ex-member of ours, and when the spies we put on him notice that he is focusing on something that can give him power they inform us and we do what we can to keep him from obtaining it…"

"So this has something to do with me?" Eri asked.

"Yes, recently Orochimaru has been focusing on your bloodline and will be making plans for your capture. If he gets his hands on you he will experiment on you until he gets what he wants," Pein replied.

"Why should that concern the Akatsuki?" Eri asked suspiciously.

"Well if he is able to obtain your bloodline and be able to heal himself as you do he will be more of a formidable opponent," Pein explained, "besides, you should sound a bit more thankful. His methods are painful, ruthless and as a woman he may consider breeding you with his other subjects to create new bloodlines he can use, I doubt you want to be someone's breeding bitch," he smirked.

Eri looked at him completely appalled. "Of course I don't! Th-that's… cruel, disgusting, not to mention inhuman…"

"Yes, so that is why we are offering you protection… for a price."

"What kind of price?" she asked.

"It's simple really, stay here and be the Akatsuki's medical ninja, and pledge your loyalty to us as well. If you refuse… well I guess it'll be a waste but we might have to kill you… it'll be a mercy killing though. If Orochimaru gets his hands on you you'll be begging for death, unfortunately for you you'd be too valuable as a subject to kill. We can just seal away your memories of this encounter and send you back to the village but you'll eventually be captured by that snake without our protection…" Pein replied.

"You mean betray the Leaf…?"

"Yes, but really, it's in your own best interest. So what do you say?" Pein asked.

Eri sighed and crossed her arms. She took a deep breath to calm her mind and tried to consider Pein's offer… He did make sense; he didn't seem to be lying about this Orochimaru's tactics… "Can I have some time?" she asked.

"Time for what?"

"My decision… You're asking me to leave my only family and the place that has been home to me my whole life, I want some time to think it over," Eri said.

"…Fine, you have three days to make a decision. Itachi will lead you to where you'll be staying with us," Pein replied.

Eri could only nod as the Uchiha stepped out of the darkness. Without another word exchanged Eri followed Itachi out of the room.

Madara let his presence be known as he stepped out of the darkness behind Pein. Of course, Pein knew he would be there.

"Well we have her here for the time being, are you sure she'll accept our offer? I don't want the blood of innocence to stain my hands," Pein said but it was obvious it was the real body, Nagato speaking.

"She'll accept it, she thinks she has a choice but she really doesn't. She either accepts our protection, takes death at our hands, or we toss her out, were if he gets his hands on her, she'll beg for death… We're giving that girl a chance at life by recruiting her so rest easy," Madara replied before taking his own way out of the room. With his pawns he had covered his selfish need for her with a lie. Nagato had no idea Madara just wanted an excuse to have her in the Akatsuki so her loyalties would unknowingly belong to him, ironically one of the spies did in fact confirm that Orochimaru was showing interest in the Sincera clan before Madara had thought of how he could trick Nagato into bringing her there. All he had to do was to be sure she'd accept Pein's offer.

He walked out into the hallways not caring if he was seen, after all… his acting skills were superb and his alias not one to be taken seriously, his long hair cut short, his face hidden by an orange swirled mask and an attitude that most of the members found annoying. Yes no one would ever suspect his true identity. He peeked around a corner and saw Itachi stopping outside of the room that was set aside for Eri. He didn't know if any words were exchanged between the two as Itachi leaned in over the girl. Madara kept himself quiet as he noticed Itachi was close enough to claim a kiss from her. The Sincera's blush deepened because she wasn't use to someone being that close to her. Itachi's breath caressed over her lips as he sighed. "Just… be careful around here," he advised before he backed up a bit and walked away.

Madara relaxed a bit, seems that Itachi didn't have any feelings for the woman. Little did either Eri or Itachi know that if the Uchiha clan wasn't massacred, they would have been engaged. Another good reason to obliterate the clan, things would have gotten complicated if Madara would have to steal a bride for his own uses. But now she was a mere kunoichi unbound by any contract or arranged marriage. She was almost ready for the taking, but he needed to wait a bit more. Though as he stepped out of the shadows he figured there was not any harm in introducing his alter ego to her. After all, it will give him access to her and allow him to earn her trust so when he finally took her, the process will hopefully go a bit smoother.

His mind raced with thoughts and ideas as he approached the girl. Then again he was Madara Uchiha. THE Madara Uchiha, who says he has to win a girl over just to alleviate some stress? It can be as simple as casting her into a genjutsu taking her to his room and having his way with her, but when he looked at the curious blue eyes that noticed his approach… even he found that idea leaving a bad taste in his mouth.

"Hey there I'm Tobi!" he said letting his acting skills fool her like it had the rest of his pawns.

Eri blinked, "Um, hey…" she replied looking at the tall man.

"What's your name?" he asked cheerfully. Like he didn't already know…

"My name is Eri… Are you a er… member here?" Eri said noticing he didn't have one of the black cloaks with red clouds.

"Ha! I wish, Tobi is Zetsu-san's subordinate," he replied.

"Who's… Zetsu?"

"Oh trust me; you'll know him when you see him. Zetsu-san kinda sticks out," he chuckled. "Anyways Eri-chan, can I call you Eri-chan? I saw you with Itachi-san, you better be careful with Itachi-san he gets very moody."

"You sure do talk a lot, but… meh what's the harm? I guess you can call me that…" Eri replied. This man was kinda like her brother… chatty and happy sounding… maybe that's why he was lowering her guard that she usually keeps up around new people.

"Awesome," he grinned.

"Are you the funny guy around here or something? I thought everyone here would be… I donno…" she seemed to be having trouble with words today.

"I guess you can say that, I'm the friendly face," he joked.

Eri looked at him and giggled a bit. "But you have a mask on."

"That's what makes it so clever! The only friendly face is covered," he teased.

"Ah I see…" Eri said smiling a little.

Madara smirked beneath the mask. It might be easier then he thought to get close with this girl.
