OoC: So what is every characters partner their significant other now? XD I guess I'll be straying from the path? Lmfao

"Hehehehe..."

Feminine, and slightly childish giggles could be heard from inside a hut in the woods. The crazy white-haired Akatsuki member had red paint on her hand, and within a moment later she smeared it all over the blond locks of a male who appeared to be some years older then her.
In response to getting a handfull of red paint in his hair, he stick his hand out, that had a bunch of blue paint in it, a nd shoved it into the girls' face.
It wasn't long before this all erupted into a war of paint in the house, greens, pinks, yellows, purples, all flying everywhere with the sounds of laughter echoing in the forest.

By the end of it, the two were covered head to toe in drying paint, laying on the floor panting, the whole room filled with paint splattered everywhere, it was like a rainbow house. "Hiro-Kun..." Rei started, panting. "I have not had this much fun in my life." She laughed along with him. "Haha, who said S-Rank criminals don't know what real fun is?" Was his response to that.

Rei had known Hiro for a decent amount of time, probably a couple years anyways, they'd been friends for most of that time, well, they were mostly artists together, Rei would make very intricate sculptures out of bone and Hiro would paint them. They used it as an honest way to make money most of the time, many royal family members would buy their work, in all honesty their alternate persona's were well, fairly famous in a good way.

"So... Akatsuki, huh?" Hiro started, looking at the now painted ceiling as he spoke. "I guess it could prove to be interesting, I mean if I don't join it I'm likely worse off, right? Besides I've already been labeled a criminal by my own village..." He trailed off and shrugged. "Sure, why not?" He looked to Rei with a large grin that was mirrored by the pale girl, her green eyes lighting up.

"Then we'll travel back tomorrow... pack warm, the leader is some sick masochistic man who decided to make us have a base in ice caves."

Hiro nodded. "Alright... now... I think we should go wash ourselves..."

Rei couldn't agree more, they both got up and headed outside.

"Meet back here later, I'll give you your female privacy." He said, sticking his tongue out as both of them parted to clean each other.

[GenjutsuGaara]

Raika was breathing heavily as he stood over the small hidden snow village. Flames engulfed the area. He looked down at the fiery chaos that had embalmed the unsuspecting Hidden Snow. He turned and looked as his wife returned to his side. He looked into her eyes. "Happ Anniversary." He said quietly as a harsh wind blew his long black hair about. His hazel eyes focused onto her steel grey eyes.

She smiled gently before pressing her lips against his. The 2 kissed for several moments as ash began to rain down. The smoke filling the once moon lit night. It was now nothing more then smoke. "You are my sacristy..." Raika spoke softly. "And you are my god." Kira answered him with a quiet voice. Again the 2 kissed for a moment before they walked down the snowy slope to their base where they would make camp until the others came back. It would only be a few hours before dawn. They would have to be back by night fall.

In a way, Raika was a bit anxious to see what they chose for allies. He wanted to know what their partners personality would be. Raika quickly grabbed his wife, Kira and lept high into the air and threw her from his arms. He fell to the ground quickly as he landed on a tree top on another hill. He caught Kira, who was grinning from ear to ear. "Never fail to impress huh Raika-Sama?" She asked as she turned. Watching the last remanents of the Hidden Snow Burn to the ground. Raika looked on with her. "I will always try to make you smile and laugh. No matter what." Raika finally answered as the fire and flames stopped now. There was nothing but a smoldering crater where many people once lived. Raika smiled as he held his wife in his arms.

He lept down from the tree with her and began their short walk back to their base.

[Akatsuki~FTW]

'Why in Jashin's name didn't you tell me it would be this cold!' Itami put Seika in a playful headlock and wrestled her to the snowy ground. 'Gahh! Get off me, you retard. Didn't I say it was like minus a million degrees?' She bit into his hand with her pointy fangs until blood trickled out onto the blank landscape, dying it a lovely crimson colour. 'Hehe, you know I don't let go that easily, Seika-chan.' He got up off her, and then helped her up. 'Great, now my heat is causing the snow to melt, and now i'm gonna die!' She gave Itami the evil eye, and kicked some snow at him.

'I think its this way, but you throwing me on the ground didn't help!' Seika laughed, and shook her hair out of her face. Itami pointed to the blood on the ground, it looked like it was forming an arrow of some description. 'I say we FOLLOW THE BLOOOOOD!' He shouted in Seika's ear. 'what the hell did you do that for? My ears are very sensitive you dumbass' Seika had known Itami for quite some time now, 4 maybe 5 years. She loved him...in a brotherly way, thinking of him in a...lets not go there. Point was, they were pretty damn close.

'Aha! I see the entrance!' Seika pointed with a curved, sleek claw at a small crevice in a giant, snow topped mountain. Itami made his hands into binoculars and got up on his tip-toes and 'searched' for it. 'Well, I can't seem to find any caves that look remotely evil around here. all I can see is a tiny weeny hole in the wall.' Itami put his 'binoculars' away and turned his head to an annoyed looking Seika. 'That is the entrance you dick. Damn, I swear Jashin eats your brian when you pray to him.' Itami glared at her, then smiled. 'We better get going then Seika-chan. If you do start freezing to death, do let me know.'

'Why? So you can give me your cloak?' Seika asked hopefully.

'No, so i can sacrifice you <3' He giggled.

'You are such a freaking ass sometimes Itami-kun' Seika snapped, then she jumped on his back. 'You gots to carry me now, Itami-chaaaan' She bit into his shoulder with her fangs, and dug her claws into his chest.

'Gah, fine then...just don't let go. It feels to good.'

So, together, they made their way to the cave to begin their new life, in Akatsuki.

[Exaltations]

"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiro-Kuuuuun!!!!" Rei said in a freakishly annoying voice, purposefully making it sound squeaky and annoying. "Faster, fasteeeeeeerrr!" He pointed with one hand ahead in the snowy winter area while the other arm was wrapped around Hiro's collar area.
She was playing kid again, like she had tendencies to do.
.
Again she only did it to be deceptive, nobody would take a hyperactive, childish girl seriously, and deception was way better then mindless killing. Just because you can doesn't mean you always should.

"It's not my fault you're a fatty." He growled in amusement and as he walked, noticed a couple of figured up ahead of them. "Allies?" He questioned though he was pretty sure there would be no reason as to why someone who wasn't an ally would be in such a horrid, cold place. He felt his partner nod a few times.

Since Hiro had Rei forcing him to go faster they caught up with the other two pretty quickly, and they appeared to be in the same position as Hiro and Rei. "Hehehehehehe! Great minds think alike!" She said as they approached, and once in close enough range, Rei held her hand out for a high-five and grinned like a maniac.

[Akatsuki~FTW]

Seika glanced at the other girl and thought she looked familiar. She was that other girl in the cave! Hmm, this must be her partner... She pulled her claws out of Itami's chest prompting him to groan at the loss of pain. She smacked him around the head with her bloody palm, and let go of his shoulder so she could talk. 'Yeah, it looks like they do.'
Itami bumped up his back almost knocking Seika off. 'What the hell did you do that for! You meanie!' She growled at him, before turning to the other Akatsuki members. I never know what to say around other people...Damn... Her red eyes glanced at the girl's partner, damn, he's cute...I wonder if they're... She cocked her head to one side, then Itami bumped her again. 'What the hell do you freaking want now!'

Itami smiled, 'Aren't you going to ask for their names? You rude dragon-baka' She hated being called that. 'You have a mouth to don't you? Man, you are lazy.' Seika reciprocated the long awaited high-five with her bloody hand, trying not to cut her ally with her claws. 'Well, first off, sorry if my claws cut you. Secondly, I'm Seika, and this retard is Itami-kun.'

Itami waved, and smiled. Seika coughed, and then added 'what are yours?'

IN:
Aido and Kisaki sliced through the air, riding Kisaki's weapon. The Dragon Queen, the Shinrabanshou clan and the Ouja clan were actually both related families, though nowadyas, ties between some clan members were so distant, that they were actually considered unrelated. Though these two cared not for that, the ground below them was a blur as lush green and grey mountains slowly became the bright white of snow and ice. Aido noticed Kisaki shiver as she held onto the Dragon Queen, it was a pretty small dragon-like creature, which could hold only up to two people. Taking his own borrowed coat off, he placed it over Kisaki, to keep her warm.

"We'll be there soon, just lower a bit so I can see", without a word, she complied, as the ground slowly came into a better focus. After a few minutes, the area had the presence of a select few,

"alright, slow down, we should be close", standing up, Aido began to survey the area.

"Is this leader crazy or something? Putting a base out in the ice like this", whined Kisaki,

"it's actually sort of cunning too... Not many would like the cold, thus would not search here", he replied. Though he indeed did not like the idea of an ice base, it was yes, cunning. Now it should be around the corner...

"Oh, there they are", said Aido as he stood on the levitating dragon-like transport creature, looking out from there, he could see the open entrance of the ice base. Jumping off, as Kisaki grabbed the living weapon by the neck, the two landed on the gorund. Kisaki's Dragon Queen turning into a plain, steel pole, her clothing swaying in the cold wind, it's unlikelyness of a ninja's outfit, giving her a more feminine contrast of beauty.

"So we've all got partners? Anyone here willing to introduce each other?", he asked, as he began to approach the group.

[GenjutsuGaara]

In the distance Kira looked forward. "Raika-Sama...It appears our subordinates have found their signifacant others." Kira said as they stood at the base of the small hill now. Raika squinted. She was right. In the distance there was a group of black figures among the white snow. Raika stared along with Kira. They were under their command. They would come to them rather then them going to their subordinates.

Raika looked at Kira. "You know Kira...I still can't believe you helped me concieve such an idea. You look to innocent for this some times." Raika said as he stood in the freezing snow as if it didn't even bother him. Which...It didn't really. He enjoyed it. The snow flakes reminded him of how cold he was to so many others and how they were so cold to him.

But the warming touch of his bride reminded him that he was still human and so were they. Kira stood next to him. She lifted her hand into the air and waved. "Why are you waving to them Kira-Hime?" Raika questioned. His long hair blowing in another harsh wind. "Don't be so stuck up Raika-sama! Im telling them were here!" She said as she waved. Raika sighed. Waiting for his subbordinates to come to him.

He put his head down so only his eyes would be seen over his cloak. Kira turned to him. "Always hiding huh Raika-Sama?" Kira asked him. "Of course...You know I hate people." Raika answered.

[Exaltations]

OoC: 4 AM so this is gonna be crap.

Before Rei or Hiro could introduce themselves the other two members showed up at the scene, and Rei spotted the leader in the distance along with his partner. How neat, and even amount of guys and girls, hopefully that wouldn't cause too much drama.

"It's all good, if you scratched me I'd just have to get back." Once Seika's hand was away from hers a bunch of sharp bones popped right out of her hand, she giggled before they retreated back into her skin.

"My name is Rei! You can call me Rei!" She said happily, jumping off of Hiro's back, her feet sinking into the snow slightly. She could have avoided that, but chose not to, it was pointless.

"My name is Hiro, I'm descended from Deidara of the original Akatsuki." Now the only names that were left to be introduced were those of the couple who had just flown in, then it would be as if they were one, big, twisted and demented happy family.

[ichijin]

IN:
"Such... Strange people", muttered Kisaki under her breath, Aido was actually close enough to hear her.

"When has anyone in the Akatsuki been actually normal?", he replied. As the two stopped to a half, the snow below them unmoving as their coats swayed to and fro as the two stopped their approach.

"My name is Aido of the Ouja clan, and this is my fiance", said Aido, as he motioned his hand towards his beloved.

"My name is Kisaki of the Shinrabanshou clan", she said. Both their clans have not had any significant past, always sitting in the shadows of Ninja history, they as a more "noble" clan, chose not to meddle in the affairs of the "lower" class.

[Akatsuki~FTW]

Seika stiffled a laugh at the way bones had randomly appeared out of Rei's hand. Hehe, so i'm not the only one with a kekkei genkai here. She let go of Itami, and somewhat gracefully landed in the snow. 'Yikes! That's freaking cold!' Seika shivered, then looked at the rest of the group. 'If we are going to be all 'formal' I may as well say my clan name too. Ryuziki Seika, pleased to meet you, descended from Ryuziki Aroura, who was descended from Ryuziki Taizan...you get the idea.' She smiled slightly and bore her fangs to the group. Itami stood there, looking unsure of what to say. Seika growled and poked him with her concealed tail. 'Well, introduce yourself properly then! Man, Itami-kun, you annoy me sometimes!' Itami ruffled her hair and cleared his throat.

'Hi. I'm Itami. I'm antisocial, so don't piss me off, or you'll answer to the wrath of Jashin-sama. I'm descended from an original Akatsuki member too-' He was cut off by Seika who enjoyed finishing his sentences. 'Yeah, he's descended from the crazy, bloodthirsty, sweary, immortal guy. I think his name was, Hidan...' Sekia laughed at Itami's 'oh my jashin i'm gonna kill you' face.

'Seika-chan...you're lucky I like you, otherwise you would be dead by now.'

'Yeah, yeah I know. I'm 'lucky to be alive'. Anyway, ignore him, he's too antisocal to talk to properly. Shall we head inside?'
