Emo Biznich is having trouble Guest Posting with her computer, so she asked if I'd post it for her. So here it is:

I looked out the bars of my prison. It was snowing now, my most favored time of the year. It is when I am at my strongest. Last winter I almost broke free of this imprisonment. The only thing I didn't like was that I couldn't smell as well as I usually do. The smoke from all the fires that people were burning was smudging out my sense of smell.
I stayed in my animal form to keep warm. I looked at all the flakes that fell and wished I could leave. I closed my eyes and concentrated all my chakra on the seals. It was very straining and sapped my strength very easily. I heard foot steps and opened my eyes up.
Two tall men with a strange kimonos on came closer and closer to my cave. As they passed me, I saw that one of them looked back at me.
I walked closer to the bars that kept me in. He stopped and a voice said, "It's a twin tailed fox."
The other one stopped and looked at me. I whined and stuck my nose out of the bars, nudging one of the seals. "Should I release it?" The voice asked again.
The smaller one turned towards me and stopped in front of me. "If I let you out will you run or will you repay your debt to me and serve me?" the man asked.
I nodded, I would gladly serve the person that saved me from this cold imprisonment. He laid his hand on one of the metal frames and then the seals all burned up and disappeared. I turned back into my human form and looked up at him. "Thank you master," I said bowing in the cave, before I slipped through the bars.
"Why didn't you do that before?" The taller man asked.
I smiled and said, "I've tried before but the seals prevented me from leaving the cave. I thank you again, Master..." I looked at him waiting for a name.
"My name is Itachi Uchiha," he said lightly.
I bowed happy to finally be free. Or so I thought.

I looked all of them over, they seemed clean and neat, at least compared to what I was wearing. I looked down at my rags I called clothes. I've worn them so much they were getting holes in them. I looked at all of them again, they were now staring at me. "Are you going to tell us your name?" the man with his hair pulled slick back asked.
I looked at him, my face heating up. "It's Izzy," I muttered, hiding my face with my long hair.
The man laughed then said, "You found a shy one there, Itachi!"
I cocked my head, letting my face show through. "Just because I don't like to talk doesn't mean I'm shy. I am a girl of action, not of words," I said, acid leaking into my voice.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked back to see Kisame smiling down at me. "I'll escort her to her room," he said, still smiling, and pulled me out of the room.
I looked back, one of them caught my eye. A tall man wearing an orange mask with a single hole in it. It was strange, he seemed mysterious and interesting. "Who was that man?" I asked when Kisame lead me to a room.
"Which one?" he asked.
"The one with the orange mask," I murmured, the man's mask and the way he stood was etched into my mind.
"Tobi? Eh he's kind of a pest," he sneered, throwing his head back in disgust.
"Hey, maybe I'm a pest too, you just don't know it yet," I looked back at him, my smile wide.
He looked blankly at me, a sign of red on his blue skin. “What? Does my smile confuse you?” I asked, covering my mouth slightly with my hand, "Or is it that it attracts you?" I asked lowering my hand, letting my fangs show.
He took a step back, his eyes widened. I giggled and said, "Don't worry, I don't like fish."
I turned my back to him and looked at my room. It was empty except for the bed and the drawer. "I'll get you some clothes."
I looked back to see the man with the orange mask standing next to an annoyed Kisame. "Thank you," I bowed slightly, then laid on my bed.
"Oh this is so much better than a cave floor," I murmured, arching my back and spreading out my body on the bed.
"Cave floor?" the man asked.
I looked at him from my bed and nodded. "We found her in a cave in the mountains where it was snowing," Kisame said, looking at me.
"Wow, how long have you been there?" he asked.
"Fourteen years. I was told I was a mistake and a disgrace. That I deserved to die a long and painful death," I murmured, looking at the ceiling.
A smile creeped on my face as I said, "Now that's what I say to people I hate."
"Wow that must suck," Tobi said.
I looked over at him, my smile fading fast. "My memory was erased when I was put in the cave. I don't even know my last name," I murmured.
"Come on you need to get a breath of fresh air. Use your legs," Kisame said, pulling me off my bed. "Tobi get the clothes. I'll be out with Izzy." Kisame ordered.
He took me out of the Akatsuki base, showing me the surrounding area. "Wow" I said, taking in the trees and plants and everything else.
I closed my eyes and tried to remember my past. I sighed when I couldn't remember anything and opened my eyes and walked next to Kisame. He looked down at me, looked at my clothes and then shook his head. "What?" I asked.
"Those clothes will never keep you warm in the cold," he said, shaking his head again.
"I've gone through winter with less clothes before," I said.
"I'm surprised you haven't died yet," he said, shaking his head again.
"Tobi brought Izzy warm clothes. Tobi a good boy!" Tobi yelled, running towards us with clothes in his hands.
He handed them to me. "I guess I'll go change," I said, and walked to my room.
After I closed my door and locked it I undressed. I took the short sleeved shirt and put it on. Then the long gloves, and the pants. There were so many things he had brought me but I wasn't going to wear it all.
In the end I chose a pair of pants that clung to my leg’s a fishnet shirt under a grey short sleeved shirt with gloves that went up to just above my elbow. I also had boots that went up to just below my knee, with a white peace of cloth that covered most of the boot. "You can come in," I murmured, letting them in.
"Here, it's the Akatsuki's coat. When you wear it, it means you are one of us. But you will not be going out alone. We never do. For the time being you'll be paired up with Itachi, but that's only because I called the vacation first," Kisame murmured, smiling as he said it.
That's all for now
