Sakura sighed for the hundredth time. "Hidan, do you even know where you're going? I mean, seriously. We've passed this tree four times," she said, pointing to a tree with four kunai scratches. She added a fifth.

"You just shut the hell up. I know where I'm fucking going. See?" he said irately, pointing to a new path that hadn't been there before.

Sakura nodded. "Right. And you couldn't see through the genjutsu hiding that path because...? I saw it the first time through. I thought you ignored it because it was the wrong way," Sakura said.

Hidan blushed a bit, but hid it by making a show of cursing at her about how "Jashin-sama doesn't appreciate kunoichi know-it-all bitches doubting his followers." Sakura sighed. She stood up from the log she had sat down on and grabbed Hidan by the back of the collar. She set off down the path, dragging the poor cursing man behind her.

#############

After the Jashinist and the kunoichi left, the twins woke up. Kakuzu knew right away that he wouldn't be able to handle them, so he left the room. Tobi got called away by Zetsu. Deidara left to go find more clay for his "art". Kisame tried to leave, but Itachi threatened to Mangekyou him, so he sighed and sat back down. Itachi picked up Mai and went to change her.

Kisame looked around to make sure Itachi wasn't watching him. He stood up quietly and walked over to Shin's crib. When the baby looked up at him and smiled, Kisame felt like he'd had his breath knocked out. Nobody smiled at him. Especially not babies. Babies usually cried and screamed when they saw Kisame. But this baby, Itachi's son, smiled at him like he was just another normal guy, looking down at him. Kisame picked the baby up and held him up so he could see into his unique eyes. "Hey, kid. I'm your Uncle Kisame," he said gruffly. Shin smiled and reached up to pull Kisame's hair. Kisame heard someone coming, so he hurriedly set the baby back in his crib.

Itachi walked in and looked at Kisame, sitting innocently on the couch. Itachi noticed that his hair was a bit messed up and smirked. "It hurts a little when he pulls it, doesn't it? He's very strong for a baby," Itachi said. Kisame blushed a bit, turning his cheeks a bit purple. Itachi placed a sleepy Mai into her crib and covered her up, then handed her the stuffed bear she always slept with. He then turned to Shin and picked him up for his turn at getting his diaper changed. As Itachi walked out of the room, he heard Kisame telling Mai that he was her uncle. Itachi smiled. "By the time we leave, every one of the members will be as soft towards those two as I am," He thought to himself with a smirk.

#############

Sakura and Hidan had finally made it to the town well after noon. Unfortunately, Hidan managed to get them lost inside the town. Sakura glared at the man and caught him by the hair. "Listen up, Hidan. If you don't get me to the nearest market soon, I'm going to tear you apart and make damn sure there won't be any fucking way to put you back together. Got it?" Sakura asked with a jerk to the immortal's hair.

Now usually, Hidan wouldn't be afraid of that kind of threat. But when Sakura's eyes turned red and her chakra spiked to dangerous levels, the legendary Sannin's student became a frightening thing to behold. The worst part was that he knew she probably could make good on her threat.

So, the immortal nodded his head as much as Sakura's tight grip would allow. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her in the direction of the center of town.

Sakura smirked as she was tugged along. Tsunade would've been proud.

#############

Deidara looked around, making sure there wasn't anybody around. He sneaked into the living room. He got right beside the babies' cribs and his foot hit a toy. It rattled and hit the wall. Deidara winced. He looked into Mai's crib and saw her blinking up at him. He smiled and picked her up. "Hey there, little girl. I'm your Uncle Deidara, yeah." He sat down on the couch. "Did you know that I had a sister named Mai?" He smiled when the baby giggled. "God, I miss her so much, yeah. She's gone, though. She died right before I left my village. Blew it all to pieces, too. Half of it at least, yeah."

"You never did tell me why you left, Deidara. Was it because of your sister?" Sasori asked from the doorway. He smirked when Deidara jumped.

The former Iwa-nin blushed. "Yeah. They killed her, Danna. The black ops accused our family of being traitors. All because I failed a mission, yeah. They killed her because of me. And I killed all of those bastards because of her, yeah," he said in a thick voice.

Sasori hadn't known all of this. It seemed that the twins were causing his partner to loosen up. He watched in silence as Deidara hunched over the baby, hiding the tears caused by his memories. His eyes widened when Mai's hands wrapped around Deidara's finger, almost as if she were comforting him.

Deidara smiled down at Mai. He kissed her cheek and stood up. After placing her back in her crib, he covered her up and turned away from Sasori to wipe at his eyes. Eyes which widened when Sasori hugged Deidara from behind. He turned around and looked down at Sasori, who was looking up at him with a bit of sadness in his usually emotionless eyes. "I'm sorry, Danna. I don't usually get like this when I think about it."

"Don't apologize, you dope. I'm trying to comfort you, so be comforted." Sasori looked away when Deidara looked at him.

Deidara smiled and hugged his partner back. His smile widened when Sasori told him not to get used to this.

#############

Sakura smiled happily. Finally, she had gotten to the market. Her smile turned into an evil smirk when she heard Hidan cursing at her. After the trouble he had put her through, she had "asked" him to carry the bags. "Ask" as in threaten him into doing it. "Serves him right!" Sakura thought to herself as she heard a vicious curse.

"Stop, dammit! Can you not fucking hear me, you little pink menace?" Hidan yelled at her.

Sakura smiled. She finally stopped and turned around to see Hidan cursing under his breath and walking up to her. "What is it, Hidan? We need to get back to the base before dark," she said.

Hidan cursed yet again. "Well, you're going the wrong damn way! You missed the fucking turn ten minutes ago. I've been trying to tell you, but you wouldn't fucking listen," Hidan said with a snarl.

Sakura sighed. "I know that, Hidan. I made a map of the area coming in. There's a quicker way up ahead. It's half as long as the other way."

Hidan looked surprised. Sakura just sighed again and turned around to start walking again. Hidan cursed and picked up the grocery bags again. Sure enough, after a few more minutes of walking, there was a trail leading up into the mountain. The base was nestled in a crater at the top of the mountain. Hidan shook his head.

True to Sakura's word, the path was shorter. Unfortunately, it wasn't short enough. It got dark about two-thirds of the way to the base. Sakura put her pack on the ground. She rummaged through it and got out the small tent she always carried. Early on in her ninja career, she had noticed that the tents issued to ninja were too bulky and took up valuable space in a pack, so she had experimented with making a "ninja tent". Ideally, it would be about the size of an envelope, but after placing it on the ground and making the seals for the release, it would expand to be comfortable for at least one person. Sakura had nearly perfected it, and had brought along a few prototypes.

She placed the tent on the ground and backed up a few yards. She made the seals and waited. After a few seconds, the area around the tent erupted in smoke. Hidan cursed when the smoke cleared and a good-sized tent was standing where the small package had been before. The Jashinist turned wide eyes on Sakura. She smirked. "I invented it. Makes more room in my pack," she said lightly as she walked to the tent. She grabbed her bag and walked inside. Hidan lugged the bags he still had inside, too.

As soon as he walked in, he was hit in the head with a rolled up sleeping bag. Sakura giggled. He opened his eyes to see her already in her bag, ready to sleep.

"Go to sleep. We'll need to get up at dawn tomorrow," she said.

Hidan just rolled his eyes, unrolled his bag, and got in.

#############

Itachi was pacing. Kisame could hear him, even though he was being nearly silent. "Get the hell to sleep, Itachi. I can't sleep with you wearing a hole in the damn floor. The kunoichi'll be fine. Hidan's with her. He'll kill anybody they come across and sacrifice them for his god," Kisame said with a smirk.

Itachi grunted and resumed pacing.

Kisame groaned and pulled is pillow over his ears to muffle the noise.

He couldn't help but pace. He was worried about Sakura. He was actually, irrefutably, worried by all the various ways he could envision Sakura dying. Like...Hidan could sacrifice her; an animal could eat her; a rogue ninja could attack her; she could fall off of a cliff; she could impale herself on a stick; she could suddenly collapse and die of heart failure. Then he would shake his head and realize how ridiculous those thoughts were. If Hidan attacked her, she could hold her own against him; she wouldn't be so weak or stupid as to let an animal eat her; she could probably kill said rogue ninja before he even made a move to kill her; she wasn't stupid enough to fall off a cliff OR impale herself on a stick; and she was a medical ninja. If her heart DID start to fail, she could heal it before any damage was done. Really, he was getting paranoid. Finally, tired of just pacing, he went to see the twins. When he shut the door to his room, he heard Kisame sigh in relief.

In the make-shift nursery, he found Shin awake. The baby gurgled happily and held his arms up. Itachi smiled and picked up his son. Shin smiled a happy baby smile and rested his head on his father's chest. In minutes, the baby was asleep. Itachi wandered to the window. He stood there for a minute, just looking out into the darkness, then turned and sat down in a chair and shut his eyes. He was asleep almost instantly.

The next morning, Itachi was woken by a baby's wail. He shot out the chair and into the kitchen like a bat out of hell. He found the Akatsuki men surrounding his children, who were on the kitchen table. He walked over and picked up Mai, who nearly instantly stopped crying. He glared at the men, his eyes flashing red, and picked up his son, then made his way to his room. After settling the twins on his bed so that they couldn't roll off, he went back to the kitchen to fix them bottles. The same members were still there, and backed away a bit as Itachi walked in. He fixed the bottles and heated them up, then made his way back to his room.

Kisame stared after him. "What the hell's gotten into him? Ever since he found out that the kunoichi was pregnant, he hasn't been the same."

Deidara just rolled his eyes. "He's a father, Fish-stick. His paternal instincts are rearing their head, yeah."

Sasori looked at his partner with wide eyes. "When did you learn big words, Deidara? Up to the 'P's' in the dictionary, huh?"

Deidara glared at him, but was jerked up by the throat as Kisame finally realized what Deidara had called him. "Fish-stick, huh? I'll give you fish-stick." And with that said, he wrapped both hands around the blonde's throat. His grip was barely enough to even bruise the mouthy blonde, but it served to scare the shit out of him. Deidara knew just how strong the blue-skinned man was. He had witnessed him tearing men apart without breaking a sweat.

Sasori just watched the pair with a bored look on his face. He wasn't surprised that his partner was being strangled by the shark man. He didn't seem to care either...

#############

Sakura huffed. It was bad enough that she had to baby-sit the immortal pain in the ass. But then, the idiot had to go and get himself bitten. By the most poisonous snake in the area. "Lady Fate must have me on her shit list right now," Sakura thought. Said immortal pain in the ass was currently slumped by a tree after Sakura had carried his dead weight and the groceries after he had passed out from the pain and venom coursing through his body. Sakura glared at him then sighed and rolled her eyes. "Come on, idiot. We have to get back to the base. We're almost there," Sakura said, more to herself than the unconscious man she was hefting over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Pumping chakra into her muscles, she picked up the bags and started off towards the base.

Twenty minutes later, Sakura saw the top of the mountain that hid the building. She pushed a little more chakra into her muscles and picked up the pace. After a few minutes, Sakura was at the top of the hill. "I can see the base! Thank you, God. He was starting to get heavy."

With that thought, Inner forcibly took control and sat the unconscious man on the ground then pushed him with her foot, causing him to roll down the hill. Every time he hit a bump, Inner would laugh. Sakura pulled Inner back and regained control of her body, ignoring Inner's groan. The kunoichi picked up her bags and followed the human boulder down the hill. When Hidan hit the side of the building, Sakura winced in sympathy. By the time she reached the bottom of the crater, most of the Akatsuki members were outside. Sasori seemed to be the only one paying any attention to the snake-bitten man.

When Itachi abruptly appeared in front of her, Sakura nearly dropped the bags she was carrying. "Hello to you, too, sweetheart. Miss me that much?" she asked with a bit of amusement.

Itachi simply stared down at her. He then lowered his head to press his lips against hers in a brief, passionate kiss. A few moments later, the spell was broken by Hidan's groan. Sakura turned to see him sitting up, holding his head.

Sakura watched with a grin on her face as he slowly picked himself up and dusted off his clothes. “Maybe next time you'll listen when I tell you to avoid things, smartass.”

Hidan glared at her, but said nothing. Sakura laughed as she handed off some of the bags to Itachi and headed inside.

Back in the kitchen, she unpacked the bags and put everything away. Itachi stood in the doorway, watching. When she smiled at him, he motioned for her to follow him. In their room, he shut and locked the door, then ushered the kunoichi towards the bed, removing their clothes as they went.

Sakura gasped as Itachi nipped her bottom lip, pushing her back to lay on the bed. He ran his hand up her leg to where her body burned with need for him. He groaned at how hot she was.

Sakura glanced at Itachi's face. His eyes were closed and his jaw was clenched so tight a muscle was ticking there. Smirking, her hand found its way down to where his erection was pulsing against her leg. She wrapped her fingers around it and stroked him. The breath left his body and his hardness jerked in her grip.

Not able wait any longer, Itachi grabbed Sakura's hand and pulled it away from his shaft, groaning when her hand grazed his ultra-sensitive skin. He opened her legs and thrust inside Sakura's waiting body.

Sakura moaned as Itachi rolled his hips and pushed himself deeper inside her. Sakura bit Itachi's shoulder and gasped as jerked and slid even deeper inside her. She wrapped her legs around Itachi's waist, smiling a bit when he moaned. As high strung as the two were, it wasn't long before they both came in an earth-shattering orgasm. Sakura ran a hand through Itachi's hair. The raven-haired man grunted and kissed Sakura's neck. He wrapped his arms around her and closed his eyes.

Sakura placed her hand on Itachi's chest and smiled. "We have to get up, Itachi. I still need to cook dinner for you guys."

Itachi grunted and tightened his arms around Sakura. She laughed softly. A baby's cry pierced the air. "I suppose that decides for us, doesn't it?" Itachi asked dryly.

Sakura laughed and sat up. "Let the guys handle it for a bit. I want to go shower. And I suppose I have to go check on Hidan. Idiot," she said.

"What happened? I came outside when I heard him hit the side of the base," Itachi said.

Sakura snorted. "The immortal know-it-all idiot got bitten by a snake. The most poisonous snake in the whole country...and he gets bitten by it. I told him to get away from it. But no, he just had to poke it with a stick."

Itachi sighed at the idiocy. "Go on, then. I'll go check on the twins."

Sakura flounced out of the room, naked as could be, and across the hall to the bathroom. Itachi heard a crash and smirked. He would bet anything that Deidara or Kisame had seen his little blossom and crashed into something. Standing up and looking out into the hall, he nodded. Yup. Deidara had slammed into the door of his room, blood streaming from his nose. Itachi shook his head and stepped over the poor Iwa nin. When he walked into the living room, he was met with the most unlikely scene he could've ever thought of. Kisame was cuddling Mai with a dopey grin on his face, baring his teeth to the baby. Surprisingly, Mai wasn't afraid. She seemed to like Kisame, if her happy gurgles were any sign.

When Kisame noticed that Itachi was standing in the doorway, he froze. He stood straight up and coughed, embarrassed by the display. He handed Mai to Itachi and rushed out the door. Itachi heard another crash and a curse, signifying that his partner had tripped over the unconscious blonde.

Itachi felt a smile tug at his lips, looking at his daughter. His heart caught when she smiled back at him and touched his face with her tiny hand. "Fatherhood is so much more than I thought. I never would've known, not after my childhood. Father treated me like a show-pet, training me to do this and that, and punishing me severely when I didn't get it right. Sasuke had it so much better, but I'm glad he didn't have to go through what I did. And, for my little brother, I killed that horrible bastard. He was too young to realize just how bad the whole clan was. Everything was about image and power. Look at where that image and 'power' got them. Murdered in cold blood by the greatest 'weapon' of them all. That's all I ever was to them, and Sasuke would've been, too, had they seen how much talent he really had."

Itachi placed Mai back into her crib, beside her napping brother. She closed her eyes and yawned, then flung her hand out toward her brother. As young as they were, even in sleep, they knew where the other was without even opening their eyes. Itachi looked down at his beautiful children. "I will never treat them like that. They are not to be trained like animals in how to kill and destroy. They are meant to be loved and cherished as the miracles they are."

Itachi looked down at his sleeping children one last time and covered them with a blanket. With a small smile on his face, he turned and went to join Sakura in the shower.
