The members of the Akatsuki sit at a round table. Deidara looks at some cards in his hands. "Hit me yeah" he said to a girl wearing an Akatsuki robe. She nods and gives him a card. "I'll stay" Deidara sets his cards down. "19…yeah!" he grins

"Hit Me" Kisami growls at the female and she gives him a card and he slams it down in a rage "I'm bust"

"I win …yeah!!" Deidara raises his sake cup happily.

Itachi and Sasori just give a long look at Deidara and Kisami. Those two always seemed to like playing blackjack together. Itachi's glance lingers towards the female who was dealing the cards. She had her long periwinkle gray hair down and she had very soft pale red eyes that almost reminded him kind of like a snake's eyes. He glance travels down her open Akatsuki robe showing a ninja band tied to the side of her waist. It was a waterfall headband with a slash threw it.

"Zasha" Itachi speaks finally and the female Akatsuki member looks at him and smiles broadly.

"Yes Itachi Donna?"

"Never mind" Itachi drinks his sake. His mind wanders to several months ago when she joined the Akatsuki.

Flash Back

Deidara and Sasori were busy sparring and Itachi and Kisami are relaxing after their spar and Tobi asleep in his room and Zetsu was out in the forest. Zetsu suddenly hears the sounds of metal hitting metal. He looks around curiously and follows the sound. He senses someone coming at a fast speed and he sinks into a tree. A girl with periwinkle gray hair and demonic red eyes skids past him on the floor. She had cuts all over her body and she winces in pain. A kunai flies at her and she holds her arms in front of her to protect herself. An Anbu from the waterfall village jumps down from the trees. He slowly walks to the girl and he takes the sword she had in her grip. "Zasha the last remaining member of the Hope Clan in the Village hidden by Waterfalls, I bring death to you for the your betrayal of your village" He brings down the sword she was holding and Zetsu for an unknown reason jumps from the tree and keeps the Anbu from attacking the girl.

Itachi and Kisami hear the sound of metal meeting flesh and get up quickly and rush off to see what it was. They hop from tree to tree and Zetsu appears in front of them cradling and unconscious Kunochi in his arms. She had a wound in her stomach and Itachi and Kisami give Zetsu a questioning look. Both wondering why Zetsu was holding a soon to die kunochi. "She was being attacked" Zetsu says

"So?" Kisami sneers. Just looking at the Kunochi made him feel a bit odd. Like her presence seemed to stir emotions to anyone who looked at her. He didn't like that feeling.

"I don't know, I just jumped in to help her when I tried to attack the Anbu that was after her she jumped in front of me and her blade got struck through her" Zetsu wounders why he's even caring to try and help the kunochi. She looked too frail and fragile to be a ninja.

"She's gonna die even if we do help her" Itachi even began to get mixed emotions about her and sees the waterfall headband tied to her waist.

"Can't we try at least?" Zetsu's more innocent child side was showing right now.

"Fine" Itachi says with a long sigh of frustration. He takes the kunochi from Zetsu. She stirs a bit regaining consciousness a little. Itachi looks down on her. His red fierce sharigan eyes clashing with her now pale red eyes. He closes his eyes for a moment then gives Kisami and blank look. Kisami seemed to frustrated at the moment to even notice Itachi's glance.

"Lets go" Kisami breaks the silence "Maybe Kakuzu can tell us who she is since she's from the same village as him" Kisami rushes back to the base with Itachi and Zetsu

Hidan and Kakuzu return from a mission and when they come to the base they find all their fellow members crowed around a couch watching something. Kakuzu walks over to the group as Hidan heads to the showers. He pushes Deidara aside to see Tobi healing a very familiar face to him. "What she doing here?" he asks with a bitter tone.

"Hmm?" Kisami looks at Kakuzu. "You know her?"

"She was in my village, she's part of that clan called 'Hope' that's scattered all across the world. She's the last member of the part of the clan in the waterfall village. Her clan was killed by the eight tailed serpent." He looks at her and emotions begin to stir as well. "They're infamous to having a charka that attracts the opposite sex. They have special jutsu that lets them copy any special eye jutus such as for example, she can uses Sharigan at the expensive of being temporarily blind afterwards." Kakuzu says. He looks at the girl with disgust just trying to hide her affect she's having on all the members. Tobi finishes healing her.
"She should live" Tobi says and there's a long sigh of relief. Everyone but Itachi had ignored Kakuzu. Itachi leaves the room to try and contact the leader. A girl with skills like that would prove useful to the Akatsuki.

The kunochi's eyes flutter open lazily. She sits up and moans a little holding her head.

"Were am I?" she whines.

"Akatsuki base … yeah." Deidara nods. He looks at the kunochi. "What's your name?"

"Zasha Hope" she says flatly.

"…" Zetsu looks at her "Why was that Anbu after you?"

"I ran away from my village…my village won't let me find my dad…so I left to find him on my own…" the kunochi looks at them.

"Your clan was all killed I doubt his still alive" Kakuzu snaps to the girl and Deidara gives him a sad glare.

"No… my mom was killed after I was born because I was the daughter of a man she had an affair with…" she holds her head. Itachi walks into the room.
"We healed you but you have a choice… join the Akatsuki or be killed here on the spot" Itachi says coldly. He looks at her red snake like eyes.

"…" Zasha actually puts thought on death or life. This surprised Itachi a little because if she wanted to find her biological father she would need to be alive.

"Hey, we could help you find your dad… yeah!" Deidara chimes wanting Zasha to join them

"Um… alright but only if you'll all help me!" Zasha smiles cheerfully.

Itachi gets knocked back to reality as the female Akatsuki member hits him lightly on the head in utter annoyance. "I hate it when people say…" she mocks his voice to the next word " never mind" Her brow wrinkles at him and she glares at him with some annoyance. Itachi glares right back at her.

"Hey Zasha!" Deidara shoves some Sake down her the girl's throat.

She coughed a bit after swallowing it and looks at Deidara. He just saved her from getting hurt by Itachi. "Deidara!" she scolds. She was trying to stop drinking so much

"Come on one night being bad won't kill you!" Deidara swirls the bottle of sake around just for it to be taken by Kisami.

"Yeah come on Zasha" Kisami pours her a cup and she sighs in defeat.

"Fine!" she cheers and drinks sake with them. Sasori leans over towards Itachi to whisper something to him.

"She's really turned us from an organization to a family hasn't she Itachi Sama…?" Sasori had been thinking the same thing Itachi was going over in his head. Itachi nods his head reluctantly. He hated to admit it but it was true. She wouldn't let anyone eat a big meal till 6 and they all had to eat together and as Kakuzu said she had a unique charka of sorts that made everyone there attracted to her. Itachi gets brought back to reality once more and Zasha's head hits the table unconscious.

"I'll get her to bed" Deidara has a sweat drop. Him and Kisami got her drunk and when she's drunk she falls asleep. He stands up and picks her up and walks down the hall.

Kakuzu walks in with Hidan. Kisami looks over. "Zasha just passed out, did you come up empty handed with information again?" Kisami asks.

"No, we know who her father is…" Hidan seems bothered by who it is.

"Who is it?" Sasori asks suspiciously.

"Its…." Hidan begins

Deidara sets Zasha down on the bed. Tobi walks in seeing the door open. He stops when he sees Deidara. "What are you doing in this room?" Tobi asks.

"I could ask you the same question …yeah," Deidara glares at Tobi.

"Tobi is a good boy" Tobi nods.

"Gah, I've heard it before yeah" Deidara walks out followed by Tobi.

Everyone at the table shoots up standing at Hidan's news. "Your kidding" Kisami chuckles. "Who would of known?"

Itachi's eyes were wide. This was a very rare moment and a perfect Kodak moment some would say.

Sasori has a look of shock and disbelief "Are you sure?"

"We snuck into the waterfall village and I was able to get someone there that I trust very much to give us the information" Kakuzu holds up a bloody kunai.

Deidara and Tobi walk in. "Whoa!" Deidara grabs a camera as if from no were and snaps a picture of Itachi. "What's going on yeah?" he asks

"Zasha's father is… Orochimaru" Hidan says bitterly.

Tobi falls down from the shock of the news. "They don't look alike though" Tobi says in disbelief.

" Well she does a little…yeah," Deidara thinks about it. "She's got the same shape eyes as him and if you knock her down she kinda seems like a snake…yeah…" Deidara thinks further "Also the feminine features as well but she could of got that from her mom, yeah." Deidara nods.

"If she finds out she'll leave for Orochimaru… we can't tell her" Tobi says.
"If she finds out, we'll have to kill her," Itachi says. "We can't risk her leaving and Orochimaru gaining some important secrets we have that she knows"

Everyone gives a hesitant nod.

Kabuto walks back to Orochimaru's hide out. He paused by Sasuke who was busy sparing with Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru-sama..." Kabuto says, quickly, dodging a kunai thrown at him by Sasuke.
"We're sparring Kabuto," Sasuke growls. "Go away."
"I think this is important…" Kabuto replies, a little uneasy

"What is it?" Orochimaru asks, obviously annoyed now.
"Who did you love?" Kabuto asks.
"What?" Orochimaru looks at Kabuto with suspicion and a hint of embarrassment.
"I followed Hidan and Kazuku like you asked me to and I found out what the information they've been trying to gather. It's the information their newest member wanted to know" Kabuto grins
"Newest member?" Orochimaru raises an eyebrow.
"They brought in a girl… from the Hope clan in the Waterfall village" Kabuto looks at Orochimaru. "So whom did you love there?" he asks again.
"I met a girl named Kimiko there 19 years ago, why?" Orochimaru asks.
"Their newest member is quite possibly your daughter" Kabuto seems uneasy, more frightened of how Orochimaru would react.

Sasuke drops his kunai. "Daughter?" he asks in shock. His eyes widen. He couldn't believe the Snake Sannin had a child. Questions buzz through his head.

Orochimaru is wide eyed at this news. Kimiko… why didn't you tell me…? He looks at Kabuto and walks past him. You can see rage and curiosity glazed in his eyes.

"Orochimaru?" Kabuto asks. He was a bit dumbfounded. He couldn't believe Orochimaru had a child. He was expecting Orochimaru to tell him it was a lie and he had no children.

"I'm going to meet this so called daughter of mine," Orochimaru chuckles walking towards Akatsuki base leaving a dumbfounded Kabuto and a very startled Sasuke behind.
