Two Paths (Sequel to Why Me)

Nostalgia

There's a lot of flashbacks and if you want you can skip like the first two cus they're from Why Me so you already read then skip it

I didn't know how long I was out here but the sun started to rise. I watched it slowly rise up and I was freezing! I sat up and my back was hurting but I ignored it and stood up. I walked back into the base then went to eat breakfast. I made some cereal and everyone started filing in the kitchen as their eyes landed on me and they coward.

"MARIAH-CHAN!" Tobi shouted giving me a bone crushing hug.

But quickly let go which was really strange. Everyone looked at him because he never lets go.

"Mariah-chan........You're so cold." He said.

They all looked at me and saw that I had Goosebumps all over my body and that my teeth were chattering. Itachi came over and placed his hand on my shoulder but quickly took it away.

"He's right, you're freezing."

"I'm f-f-f-fine," I stuttered getting up from the table.

I walked out of the kitchen and into my room. I jumped on the bed and curled into a ball under the covers to get warm. After a while I was starting to warm up. I stayed like that the whole morning but then I heard a knock at my door.

"It's open," I said.

The door opened slightly.

"Leader wants to see you." I heard Hidan's voice.

"Kay, I'll be there in a minute."

I slowly got up off the bed and walked out her bedroom to Pain's office. I walked down the hall and knocked on his door.

"Enter,"

"You wanted to see me?" I asked opening the door, stepping into his office.

"I have another mission for you."

"And that would be?"

"An assassination mission." He said handing me a folder.

"His name is Karu and he says that he has some information on all of us; including you. I want you to find him, interrogate him, then kill him."

He handed me a file and there was a picture of what he looked like. He has black hair that was a little longer than Kiba's and forest green eyes. He looked about in his early twenties probably younger than Itachi. I will admit he was pretty handsome.

"Easy,"

"But the catch is, is that Tobi is going with you."

"May I ask why?"

"He's still a new member so I figured that one of our best should take him out on his first mission."

"You didn't do that for me," I mumbled.

"What was that?"

"Nothing, so when do we start?"

"After lunch,"

"Fine whatever, Tobi will be lucky if he comes back alive." I said walking out.

I walked into the kitchen and saw Hidan, Deidara, Kisame, Tobi, and Itachi eating their lunch. Tobi noticed her first and stood up.

"YAY MARIAH-CHAN! WE GET TO GO ON A MISSION TOGETHER!!!" Tobi shouted.

Everyone else chuckled.

"What's so damn funny?" I asked.
