    The sun is no longer at high noon.

    I look at my reflection on the water, few hair standing out. Small circles form underneath the soles of our feet every time we took a step on the calm river. Infront of my reflection is Itachi stopping and facing the left side of the gorge. I look where he's facing and all I see is a torii gate and a big boulder inside it. I was about to say where's the entrance, but I hear a small rumble and my question has already been answered.

    The boulder rolled to side and revealed a tunnel.

    "Let's go,"Itachi said in a nonchalant tone.

    The tunnel is very wide, but I expected to be longer. At the end there's a room and I was about to enter it, but Itachi grab my shoulder and pulled me back.

    "Huh?" I look at him.

    "We're not going there."

    He face the left wall. He pulled his ring out of his right ring finger, put in the hole and turn it counter-clockwise. The wall lowered revealed bright rays on our face. I adgusted my eyes and look what's the other side. Small breeze tickle my face, I smiled the view. A huge torii gate, five houses line up each side of the road, and a big house at the end with doors open wide. Surrounded a grove of bamboos and bamboo-pond-spitters. Feels so peaceful Must taken the owners a long time to search for this secret place.

    We follow the road to the big house. As we walk up the small brick steps, I heard a mand speaking, "A member has arrived." Member? What member! We both stepped in. A row of people wearing the same black cloak as Itachi with different red cloud patterns. They're all stare at me with a smile, straight faces and some wore masks. The guy with piercings spoke,"Welcome, Rinkashi to the Akatsuki." He look the guy next to me," Congratulation on your mission, Itachi Uchiha."

    Wow. Itachi Uchiha. The Itachi Uchiha who massacred the Uchiha clan. Sure I don't know what he looks like, 'till now! My whole body trembled with shock and anger. I'm shock that he is not what I thought he was. Angry that I am so stupid to trust a stranger when I should of run to Konoha or Iwa when he freed me.

    "Seems to me that she hasn't been explain about this,"he look at Itachi with dissapointment."Why you didn't tell her?"

    I wasn't listening. My head was full of questions; what's going to happen to me, what if they're all criminals, why are they making me member. Trembledeven more as I answered my own questions. My legs moved on their own, sprinted out of here.

    "That's why?"

    Zig-zag to the forest, dodging, leaping for my life. I heard loud ruffles behind me, made a hard right turn. Still following me. I kept doing many turns, but I still heard the noise in every direction. Went high ground as I heard it got closer. At the very top I could see the way out of here, the mountains is my escape plan, not a very good one. I leap on every tip of the bamboo to that direction. Ruffle,ruffle. It's infront of me! I turn another direction, but it's there too. Left, right, behind, front, under. Performed a jutsu, huge tree formed bringing me up. Leap off it, hoping to get over it.

    It got me. Forming a cage of soft meterial. It's not cotton. It's paper. Grabbing my kunai from my ankle, slashing a way out of here, but it got closer. I can't move my limbs, I'm trapped! Breathing hard, there's no air here. What's going to happen to me?
