Mai's face couldn't hold her excitement any longer, so after Pein left, Mai did, well, squeal.
"Yes, we should! Oh, my, gosh! I can't believe I actually get to go somewehere!!!" Mai gushed, happiness radiating off of her. She even forgot Kakuzu was there, for that whole time.
"WOW.... We should go train now! C'mon!!!" Mai cheered, pulling Ryu by the wrist, out the door. She jumped up and down in the hallway, after letting go of Ryu's hand. Mai couldn't wait to leave, though she knew she had to get this mission done correctly and quickly, so she'll be able to gain more trust from the organization. That, was a must.

Inojiro had left the flower shop a few hours ago. He found himself in the wilderness, praciticing his taijutsu. Though he did not possess specialized techniques, he was a gifted fighter. Regardless of the battle situation, Inojiro prefered to destroy the minds of his enemies, especially when they killed themselves.
He sent a flurry of strikes against a massive tree. Each strike left a a relatively deep indentation in the bark. After practicing for two hours, he grew bored with attacking a tree. Instead, he decided to venture further into the forest. Perhaps he would discover new specimens of flowers along the way.

Kakuzu followed the both of them, not even looking where they were going as he wrote down their actions, but still managing to keep on track with them. He was writing down every detail about their current behavior, abilities, and constitution. These factors would help Kakuzu determine medical, food, and living funds for them both. For instance if they could run fast during short times, they would need a smaller budget for resting at inns. Everything they did during the day would tribute to how much money they would be getting for their mission. The amount would then be run by the boss to see if it was too costly or not big enough. Most of the time Pein agreed with Kakuzu since he was usaully quite accurate with money. Kakuzu found this to be somewhat of a game he enjoyed to play, especially when the ones he was watching tried to avoid him. Kakuzu didn't know if Mai and Ryu were aware of most of the things he did finacially for the Akatsuki. He did have a sense of honor, he would only study them when they were together, studying them apart would be too difficult.
After a long wait in a pile of clothes, Raiga could see the outline of buildings through the back of the wagon's cloth. As he readied to jump out, the two men opened the back and pulled him out. Standing infront of him were the two traders, the short one in red stood at the right and the tall green one stood on the left.
"Hey-a! Look brother! It be that Raiga guy from the Mist!"
"Hey-a! I regonize a him too! He-a the one boss wanted us to-a find hey?"
The red trader took one more glance at Raiga and then knodded. Raiga was very confused, these guys spoke weird, they must be ninja sent to kill him no oubt for his recent actions. Raiga readied to unsheath his blades when the red trader spoke immediantly.
"Hey-a! You got it all wrong-a there! We been sent-a here to offer somethin to ya! Our boss wants to in list ya in his organization!"
"Yeah-a! We come-a representing the Knight Organization! Knight himself requested ya partnership! In exchange to Financial Immunity, you kill a few choice individuals for the boss!"
"Sounds too good to be true, explain this Financial Immunity and I may consider it..."
Raiga liked the sound of immunity, but he didn't want to be someone's lapdog for too long. Financial Immunity did sound good, this guy must be plenty rich in order to even bribe Hidden Village Officials.
"Its-a simple my friend! We keep the officials busy with money and they leave-a you alone, no missions will be sent after you, ANBu will even keep away. Only one condition, the Immunity wears off if you cause too much trouble and we can't stop lone ninjas from gonig after you, but I'm sure-a you-a can handle it my friend!"
"So I could walk around this village without being a target by the law? Intresting..."
Raiga liked the idea, but then it would be extremely against him to take aid from others to protect himself. Raiga wasn't afraid of ANBU or any other ninja here, even the Hokage. On the other hand, when he would leave thevillage, he would be paid to create funerals by some guy called Knight, it sounded like a good deal. Instead of capturing, he could just kill anyone he wanted to on a mission, no more kidnapping. That is what trully caught his intrest.
"You got it, but I'll need a little money up front for...Luxury."
"You-a got it buddy!"
The short man reached into the wagon, his legs flailing as he went deeper into the floor boards of the wagon, it turns out there was a secret compatment in the wagon that store something inside. The man came out with a quite large wallet, seemingly ready to burst from the over filling of money. On it was the symbol of a knight's helmet crossed with two swords, Knight's bussiness symbol.
"You enjoy that there-a buddy! Plenty more where-a that came from!
The two men guided the wagon out of the village in a hurry, leaving Raiga in front of the north gate within the village, reading a note within the wallet from the boss man himself.
Dear Raiga
I'm Knight, leader of the Knight Oranization and one of the wealthiest men in all of the world. Your abilities intrest me and I think you could help me out with some financial rivals I have, in return for riches. If that does not intrest you, I can give you information on several individuals you despise, such as the Scourge of your village and the one with Nine Tails. Of course there will be limits on this information and maybe even missions involving them. If you deal with all of my rivals, I will make sure your revenge on the one with Nine Tails can be made. Your first mission is in your old village, there is one of the Jinchuriki. Your job is to locate it and watch him. To please your lust for blood, also kill the owner of Mikoatshi Weapons Trading Co. and his bussiness partners. Once the Jinchuriki is no longer accesible, confront the ones who captured it and with them you'll find your next mission.
-Knight

((I'd prefer it if you could! (I'm lazy) pwease?))
Shikon was happily walking back to Konoha. It was raining, obvously, he was near the rain village, anyway, he held an umbrella of fire, and as the raindrops hit it clouds of team rose up.

"Mai-san, calm down. Getting excited and letting your emotions rule won't help in a battle situation." Ryu put her ice cold palm on her new teammate's forehead. "Cool down if you get hot headed." The girl flipped her long white hair into a bun with her hands. It looked very refined near her blue eyes. If only her deer hoofs didn't kill the image. She put her hands into her pockets and walked toward the door. "Now, we're going to go train. Calmly."

Mai blew on a stray piece of hair that fell in front of her face. "...fine." Mai agreed, following after Ryu.
She did notice Kakuzu following them, but ignored him. Probably some orders or something..
Mai followed Ryu outside, jumping onto a tree branch once outside. She then proceeded to keep her balance by using her chakra. She waited for Ryu there, standing on top of the branch.

Ryu was sticking sideways to the other side of the tree and had her hands over the eyes of a doll, bringing imaginary hands to Mai's eyes. "Boo." She then unstuck herself from the side and stepped out onto a limb, quite literally.

Kakuzu so far had many positives things written about them: They seemed to get along, teamwork, and they can be level headed when needed. These two might be the second pair to get along well in the Akatsuki, Itachi and Kisame got along well before them. Pein probably didn't care if the pairs got along, only if their battle stradegies synced. Kakuzu wished he had someone he got along with, Hidan was highly troublesome to everything Kakuzu did in a mission. Try to collect a bounty, Hidan would complain about it. Hidan also always got cut up, he focuses so much on offensive he always gets sliced up somehow and Kakuzu would have to fix him. At the moment, Kakuzu wished Pein with switch Hidan for someone else, anyone else for that matter, even Tobi if it was possible. In fact, Tobi might enjoy the side missions for bounties instead of complain about it. Kakuzu hoped Maro and Lugi got the message to Raiga. The next step was to give one of these girls his next letter to Raiga, but which one was trust worthy?

Mai`s eyes widended in shock, and she fell backwards, and hung from the tree. She clung to her Akatsuki cloak, that she had cut into a dress, and kept it from falling over her head. Even so, she was wearing shorts underneath, but that wasn't the point.
"Ryu! Don't scare me like that!!!" Mai said angrily, disconnecting herself from the tree, and landing on the ground. On her feet, for once.
"Okay then. Let's get down to work... hmm...." Mai said, pacing. She thought of Ryu's abilities, then her own, thinking of ways they connected. Mai, herself, was a genius when it came to vital body points and such. Ryu was a puppeteer, and a Genjutsu user.
Hmm.. Genjutsu.. Mai thought. It would work out well if Ryu trapped an enemy in the Genjutsu, and then attacked said enemy with puppets, but what fight would be left for Mai?
Mai pondered about this, thinking of possible strategies, that they could master in a day. There was one way though.
Mai could handle around 50 attackers at once, with her speed and jutsus. Ryu, probably around the same amount. Ganging up on one person would be unfair, to both said person and the two girls. If they split up, like Itachi and Kisame did, they'd be done faster. The best part was, if one was failing, the other could help in an instant because of the connection in their jutsus.
Mai had gotten kicked out of her clan for lack of Genjutsu.
Ryu specialized in it.
They were a perfect combination at that.
"M'kay, I got it!" Mai said after her thoughts had subdued. "Let's spar." Mai ordered flatly, brushing her dress off.

((I don't see my profile up yet, but I saw acceptted at the bottom of the PM so...))
Minronu stared out far into the skies across a village set to fire and flames, raided ofd what little value it had before the Shadow Riders struck it with the force of their darkness. Gria growled slightly, Minronu knew this meant she was hungry. Shadow Beasts only ate meat, true carnivores of the summoned variety. Minronu needed to keep her calm till camp was set, so he brought out her treat bag. Minronu was feeling generous, she did a excellent job in today's raid and deserves plenty of treats. Minronu dug into the small bag with his dark gauntlet, revealing the bag to be full of human fingers, the fingers of those who opposed the Shadow Riders. He took a hand full and leaned forward from the sattle. He presented Gria the fingers and she gladly licked them from his black gauntlet. Satisfied for now, Gria automatically knew her master's command and started walking back to the recently settled encampment just behind them. Minronu unmounted from Gria's sattle infront of his tent, she immediantly knew to go back to her specially prepared stable to feast upon today's meal. Minronu sat in his chair upon which was placed infront of a table. On the table was a map of the Land of Fire. Just recently the Shadow Riders have benn raiding towns in these lands. Minronu kept it from his men, but he might plan an assault on the weakened Leaf Village. However, he also viewed his riders as still unprepared for such a raid and should instead attack the Land of Waves close by. The raid would be able to pull through thanks to a bridge that was built sometime ago; The Naruto Bridge. By using that bridge, the riders could assault the land there, but a trading HUB like the Land of Waves might attract attention from neighboring villages. Minronu would need time to think of a raiding path that would keep him far away from the Hidden Villages.

((OMG!!!!!!! My B-day was last tuesday, I'm 18!!!!! However, I'm inviting seven friends to my house tomorrow!!!!!!!))
Itachi was back at the base, in his room. He had heard other members of akatsuki muttering about the prank, and he was happy they hadn't gotten him. After hearing of this, he had placed a jutsu on a mirror in the room. It was old and quite dirty. He now had a form of a Kage bunshin within the mirror, that would send a Katon jutsu at anyone who entered the room. He also placed a flame proofing jutsu on the things in his room. He sighed, he wanted a mission, even something small like the Yonbi, it was the weakest of the bijuu, even though it had more chakra than the Ichibi, The Nibi, or the Sanbi.
Tobi was walking happily through the halls of the hideout. Tobi saw Kakuzu's room, and knew Kakuzu was watching Mai and Ryu. He tried the door to see it was locked. He pulled a paperclip from his pocket, the ultimate tool of a prankster. He stuck it in the lock, and started to pick at it until. . . *click* the door unlocked, suddenly, an electric shock went don the paper clip, into Tobi's hand, shocking his hand and making it completely numb. He opened the door with his left hand, and walked over to the bed to put tomatoes in it. The numb-ness was wearing off, making Tobi feel a dull pain in his hand. He walked out, and shut the door behind him, creeping over to his own room.
Shikon was back at Konoha, at hi house eating a nice meal of. . . ramen.

((Really? That's fricken awesome! Lmfao. Anyways, I only just turned 14 today. I'm going to a charity walk instead of having friends over.))
Deidara stared up at the ceiling as he walked through the hallways. More than likely, Ryu had been called for a mission, but who was her partner?
Deidara shoke the thought off, before he came across Tobi exiting Kakuzu's room. Deidara decided to go over to the annoying orange-masked boy, and ask what he had been doing.
"Tobi-san. What were you doing you Kakuzu-sama's room?" He asked with a slightly annoyed tone.

((14? Dah, everyone is getting all older than me! T~T))
"Wait." Ryu held up her palm. "What are you thinking about? I have a special Genjutsu that you might find fun. It's a puppeteer voodoo technique. I control them with my puppet, meaning I can make them stand still while you pummel them." Ryu shrugged. She had been thinking it through as well. Either Mai would like it, or she would turn it down and they would spar.
Still, it seemed like a fairly simple strategy. For the smaller game, they could split up, but for the larger problem, their target, this would probably be a needed technique. Ryu had never mentioned it to many, but she wasn't very physically strong. Oh sure, she was fast, she could aim like no one else, and she could hypnotize even the strongest willed human, but her punches were nothing to look at. She could knock someone down, but it wouldn't be very much damage. And certainly nothing compared to what Mai could probably do. So, why not?

((Mhmm. 14. 10+4=14! I got a new cellphone, to replace my year old one, and a few Wii games. Love itt. '/_' <<
Mai thought about this, then grinned. "Perfect! I like it." Mai agreed, nodding vigorously.
"Hmm.. Let's practice it... though.. who to practice on..?" Mai asked, looking up to the sky in thought.
