I decided i wouldn't go on Chee's mission, she had Drake, Saint and Yami. There was no reason for me to go. I was dismissed from my punishment by Madara last night. He had instructed me to go on the mission, but i told him my assistance was not needed. I was better off here anyway. My time can be used to brush up on some much needed training and studying.

I got up out of my room and made my way to the Akatsuki training grounds. It wasn't particularly cold nor was it hot, it was warm with a gentle breeze. I didn't want to spend too long out here by noon it would be scorching. Walking over to the lake i froze it solid. I took my shoes off i did not feel a thing no cold no pain, as usual. Sinking into the ice, my body passes through solid ice as if it were one. I felt safe in my own ice i knew the chances of someone getting to me was highly unlikely. I was in one of my deep concentration states almost like meditating, suddenly broken out of my trance i sensed the familiar horrible dark demonic aura all around me. In a blind panic i lost focus of the ice and it instantly reverted back to water Shit, I'm not a strong swimmer....i'll have to turn it back to ice. Ok Deena calm yourself stay calm he isn't going to get you. i kept telling myself over and over, i managed to make the water ice again allowing me to pass through with such ease. "RYU I NEED YOU NOW!!!" i screamed.

He appeared instantly from the shadows "Miss Akura, you summoned me?" he asked me calmly "Yes, i can feel something horrible!!" i wailed making my way behind him and gripping his cloak tightly. "Makes it go away!! Make it stop!!" i yelled "Miss Akura there is no one here but you and i. But if it makes you feel safer i was scout the area to make certain." he said as he disappeared into the shadows once again. A few moments had passed and he had returned "Miss Akura my suspicion was correct. We are the only ones in the training field." i nodded in approval and told him he could go.

I was still shaking all over it was deathly quiet the only noise i could hear was the howling wind as it blew through the trees, highly disturbed and uneasy about this i thought it was best to head back to the hideout. Walking through the wooded area i could feel that dark aura again i could hear manic laughing ringing in my ears. I ran as fast as i could tripping over and cutting myself on fallen logs and thorny bushes. I ran into the hideout passing several members who had curious looks on their faces. I knew Madara's office was off limits to me as of late for some reason. Panting and trembling i ran into Peins office it didn't bother me whether he was there or not and i locked myself in and hid under his desk trying to calm myself.
