[A/n: This request has been made by the lovely princess-jinderella. Sorry for the long wait but I hope I got what you requested. Xoxo Naito!]
"Just admit it, you're a fucking weak kunoichi! You're better of being our maid."
I tensed up as Hidan started taunting me again. Ever since the mission turned south a few weeks ago he and Deidara were taking their turns tormenting me. If they weren't teaming up that is. And as if Hidan's presence wasn't annoying enough, the blond bomber stepped into the hideout livingroom.
"Don't taunt her hm. Before you know it she has you locked up in jail yeah," Deidara snickered as his own joke as he sat down on the couch where I had been reading, in relative peace that was.
I threw my book towards Deidara but the annoying blond was able to dodge it. "Watch it un! Before I make you a part of my art yeah!"
"Pff like you could barbie. Just go and fuck your little girlfriend over there," I said as I pointed towards Hidan.
I wasn't my typical self lately. As Deidara pointed out correctly, I had failed on our latest mission and indeed, Deidara and Hidan both almost were captured by ninja's from Konoha but we pulled through in the end and now, they were teasing me without rest about me being a failure. Being the youngest in the Akatsuki, let's just say it hurt if they called me that, and I reacted by going head to head with them. Much to the annoyance of the other members.
"Fuck you! You fucking blasphemous piece of shit kunoichi! You're not even worthy enough to be a sacrifice for lord Jashin!"
"That's it!"
I jumped the silver-haired Jashinist, throwing punches and kicks as we rolled over the ground. I was sitting on top of Hidan's chest, one hand holding a part of his hair while my other hand was balled in a fist and I punched him on the nose several times. It made a sickening sound bounce off the walls but I kept going, riled up by my anger and humiliation of being called weak.
"Almighty push!"
An invisible force pushed me from Hidan and I slammed against the wall with a loud bang. I saw stars before me and my head was pounding so hard from the impact but I couldn't even do anything when Pein already threw his next attack towards me. "Almighty pull!"
Pein's hand wrapped around my throat and he was scowling at me, his purple eyes drilling themselves in mine. "Haven't you, done enough?" Pein said as the pressure on my throat increased.
I couldn't reply and I fought against Pein's hand around my throat and the pressure on my windpipe. Black spots appeared before my eyes and slowly my hands started to lose their strength. My eyes started to flutter closed but just when I thought my last second was there, I heard a powerful voice speak to our leader.
"Let. Her. Go. Now."
I landed in Kisame's free arm, couching violently to try and restore my oxygen levels, while he had Samehada aimed for Pein's neck. "Never and I mean never touch her again Pein," Kisame threatened as he lowered Samehada and placed the sword back in the holder on his back.
"She's a liability for the organization Kisame," Pein said as he squinted his eyes towards the large blue male. "I don't know why you want to keep her around so badly."
"You don't have to know shit! If I ever see you to-"
Suddenly a hand grabbed Kisame's arm and the hybrid was ready to strike until he noticed it was his partner. "Kisame, I think it would be a good idea to bring (y/n) to your room so everybody can cool down."
Kisame's immediately followed Itachi's eyes and noticed my beaten state as I stood with his arm still tightly wrapped around me.
"Yeah take that fucking weakling to your room and keep her there!" Hidan said while wiping the blood from under his nose.
"Or just dump her in a river un," Deidara opted. "It's not like she's of any use anyway."
Before anybody knew what happened, I had leaped out of Kisame's arms and kicked the blond bomber forcefully on the chest. He slammed against a wall with a loud crack and I was ready to jump him when two strong arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me against a wide chest.
"Itachi!" Kisame screamed as his hold on me increased. The Uchiha appeared before me and before I had the chance to look away, his dark eyes turned bright red and I was pulled into another world. A world that didn't exist.
---Kisame's Pov---
I caught (y/n) before she could fall and quickly held her up bridal style. Now that she was unconscious, her face was once again a picture of tranquility and I felt my anger die down. If only Pein would have kept his mouth shut.
"Kisame... She is starting to become a liability for the organization," Pein started as he watched the unconscious girl in my arms. "You should consider getting rid of her."
I was ready to slash at him, ready to use Shamehada to rip him to shreds but Itachi was, like always, the brain of our team. "Pein, I know (y/n)-chan's last mission didn't go as planned but you shouldn't put all the blame on her. Hidan and Deidara both were there as well, and yet you don't intimidate them with being killed for failing."
Itachi stepped between me and Pein, his Sharingan out and shining brightly. "It's not like you or anybody else within the Akatsuki never failed a mission," Itachi continued before he walked past Pein and disappeared into the hallway. Pein purple orbs stared at Itachi's back as he made his way through the corridor. After a minute, Pein turned around and scanned my face before he let his eyes scan over (y/n)'s face.
"It's not even that I blame her," Pein started as he pushed a strand of hair out of (y/n)'s face. "I blame myself that she was in danger."
For a second, I was confused with Pein's statement until I saw his eyes. They were filled with care towards the girl in my arms. The sort of care that I only saw when he looked at Konan. Care that a brother showed to his sister and that didn't ignite my anger but made my heart swell with pride. "The only reason I was mad at her is that she keeps getting herself in danger. She shouldn't fight with Hidan and Deidara. Their both crazy and one of them is immortal. She's going to get hurt if she keeps going head to head with them."
