Akatsuki Orphan

Chapter 7~Age Eight part Two

Me: Do you really have to walk me back home? I know the directions.

Sasuke: For all I know you'll run away and then nii-san will be mad at me and he'll blame me for something you did.

Me: So?

Sasuke: I value my life.

Me: And I value my space.

Sasuke: You should be happy I'm walking you home, it could be worse.

Me: How could anything be worse than this?

Sasuke: Well I could be Itachi right now.

Me: Oh yeah, good point! He was really mad when we saw him half an hour ago.

Sasuke: Yeah, I have never seen nii-san so mad before.

Me: Yeah, especially at Sam. I wonder what they're doing right now anyways?

Sasuke: Itachi has the Tsukiyoma remember? He'll be making Sam live through torment right now if I had to guess.

Me: Yeah, but what kind of torment?

*meanwhile back at the base with Itachi and Sam*

Samanthasf: Nooooooooo!

Itachi: You did the sexy jutsu in front of the whole Akatsuki, for that you must be punished.

Samanthasf: Please no! Manga! Help!

Itachi: Manga is not here right now. And now for your punishment, 72 hours of paperwork.

Samanthasf: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO T^T!

*back with me and Sasuke*

Me: I feel like something bad is happening to Samantha right now.

Sasuke: So what? At lest she doesn't have to walk you home.

Me: If you keep acting like this than you'll never marry.

Sasuke: Wanna bet? I have a ton of fan girls who would marry me in no time flat.

Me:Whatever, you won't get any SANE girls with your attitude.

Sasuke: So? At least I HAVE fans.

Me: At least I'M not emo.

Sasuke: I'm not emo!

Me: Whatever, just do the disclaimer for my story.

Sasuke: Fine, Mangareader90 doesn't own Naruto, she's too stupid and ugly to.

Me: And Sasuke is to emo to ever get my respect.

Sasuke: What?

Me: Nothing! Enjoy the story!

Sasuke: Wait, we're not done here!

Me: Yes we are!

*Tukiko POV*

It has been three months since Itachi has joined the Akatsuki. He has went along with me and we at first pretended not to know each other, that way they wouldn't ask him about my brother. After a few weeks we publicly became like family, it had taken only a few weeks for me to think of the Akatsuki as my family. Ironic isn't it? Hidan-nii killed my parents and yet I love him. I love my parents murderers, then again, Shinako-chan loves him more!

I sighed and Itachi-nii looked over at me from where he was sitting down in a chair at the same table that I was sitting down at.

"Is something the matter?" Itachi-nii asked me.

"No, it's just that Shinako's birthday is coming up soon and I don't know what to get her," I told Itachi-nii.

There's one problem about Shinako's birthday.

"When is her birthday?" Itachi-nii asked me.

"Tomorrow," I told him.

He looked confused and then asked the question that I had been hoping I wouldn't have to answer.

"Isn't that the same day as your birth?" Itachi-nii asked me.

"Can't you word that differently?" I asked him.

"You're stalling," Itachi-nii accused me.

"Yes, it's my birthday too," I answered him.

"And it's also the same day as the death of your parents right?" Itachi-nii asked me.

(A/N: The funny thing about this is that in another one of my books that I have written the main characters whole clan was massacred on her birthday. I'm horrible.)

"Yes," I answered him.

"And your parents were murdered by Hidan, am I correct?" Itachi-nii asked me, raising his eyebrow.

"Yes," I admitted.

"And you feel no pain in this?" Itachi-nii asked me.

"No," I told him.

I was being completely honest, I didn't really like my parents. I just thought it ironic that the ones who created me both were killed by the one who I considered family now.

"Are you scared that your brother is still out there?" Itachi-nii asked me.

I looked down. Tears were spilling down my face.

Wait. Was I crying? I hadn't cried in three years, the last time I had been beaten by my brother.

I heard Itachi-nii get up from his chair. 'Oh great, he's appalled that I'm crying so much that he's leaving the room' I thought in my head, still looking down, not wanting him to see my tears. I felt hands wrap around me. I looked up and saw that Itachi-nii was hugging me.

"I-Itachi-n-nii?" I asked him shakily. Stupid tears making me stutter.

"It's okay Tukiko, I'm sorry I brought the subject up, I know how much you hate remembering your past," Itachi-nii told me.

***********************************************************************************************************

*flashback*

*Six Years ago*

I was running. Running as far as my legs could take me.

"Akimichi Tukiko! You get back here this instant young lady!" I heard my mother yell.

I ignored her and just kept on running. I was in no mood to go back to my parents. After all, they never believed me when I said that big brother hate my guts, they thought he was the greatest thirteen year old that ever lived and that I was just a nuisance, something that was just a mistake. Not meant to happen.

They always had to remind me of that, every day of my life. I was only two so I had just recently started understanding them a few weeks ago, but that wasn't the point.

"Tukiko!" My father called me. He sounded like he was ten feet away. Father never used my last name for anything, he didn't consider me family, he didn't consider me an Akimichi.

I ran behind a tree, lowered my chakra which I had learned to do by spying on new genins just learning about basic ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu.

"What are you doing hiding from our parents imouto?" My brother asked me, hanging low from a tree branch.

His dark green hair covers one of his eyes which are a deep blue and his protecter is worn around his right arm. Even though green hair was considered weird on me, on him it was popular, all the girls in his class were head over heels in love with him. He was crossing both of his arms, a sign that he was not happy.

"L-leave m-m-me alone!" I shouted at him, trying to leave.

He grabbed a hold of my arm and dropped down from the branch. He took out a kunai and made a mark on it. It was really long and it felt like complete torture as he was doing so, he didn't press it down too deep, he had to have it just deep enough to where it hurt, but also shallow enough to where it looked like it happened on accident.

Nii-san was really good at making things look like they happened on accident. Like that time when he hit me in the eye and he told my parents that I had run into the door when I was running around the house. They of course believed him and I got grounded.

I screamed in pain and I didn't stop until he was done etching the mark on me. The funny thing was that he considered what he did to me art.

"One of my best works yet," nii-san told me, smiling.

The b****** was satisfied knowing that I was in pain. My arm was losing a lot of blood, and really quickly too. I started to panic when nii-san saw me and got a look of disgust in his face.

"Why are you crying? Can you not deal with even the tiniest bits of pain?" nii-san asked me.

I lifted my good hand, my right hand, up to my face and felt tears running down my cheek. I quickly wiped away my tears and I looked back up at my nii-san. He took his hand and slapped it across my face.

"REAL ninja do not cry, they do not love, they do not feel, they keep their emotions hidden away and do not show them to anyone or anybody," my nii-san told me.

He wiped his hand on his pant leg as if he just touched something vile that he wanted to get off of him. He looked back at me and shook his head.

"Why am I even telling you this? You're no ninja, you're just a brat who will never do anything good in life," nii-san told me. He looked behind me and noticed that mother and father were nowhere behind me.

"It seems as if mom and dad have given up on finding you," nii-san told me. He started to chuckle.

"Even they do not see you as family anymore. You are simply a nuisance, something that was not supposed to happen. You are no Akimichi, you are simply a little girl, a little girl who should not be alive," nii-san told me.

I looked down and my bangs covered my face. I wasn't crying anymore, but I felt a great shame and I didn't want nii-san to see my shame. I heard footsteps walking over to me and I felt nii-san grab my collar and lift me up.

"Look at me when I am talking to you," nii-san ordered me.

I nodded my head vigorously. I didn't want another beating, another scar. I didn't want to be reminded that no one loved me, no one wanted me.

Nii-san simply laughed at me and threw me on the ground. My head hit the ground with a thud and I blacked out for a bit, before I did I saw nii-san's face looming over me. It was impassive, as if he was simply looking at a disgusting creature and wondering if he should leave it there or simply throw it away.





When I woke up I saw a boy looming over me. He had yellow hair and blue eyes. When he saw me open my eyes he smiled at me.

"Hi! I'm Naruto!" the boy said, extending a hand out for me to shake.

I took his hand and shook it. After I did so I used the same hand to help myself get up with. I dusted myself off and looked at the ground.

"Hey, are you okay? You look bruised," Naruto told me.

"I'm fine, I just bumped into a few things is all," I told him.

"That's a lie! I can tell!" Naruto shouted, pointing an accusing finger at me.

"So what? It's not like you care," I told him.

"Are you kidding me? Why wouldn't I care?" Naruto asked me.

"You mean you actually care about my well being?" I asked Naruto.

"Yep!" Naruto replied, putting his hands behind his back and grinning.

I started tearing up and I hugged him as I started crying.

"Are you okay?" Naruto asked me.

I nodded my head and pulled back.

"What's your name?" Naruto asked me.

"My name is Tukiko, and you're my new brother!" I told Naruto hugging him.

He laughed and hugged me back.

"You're my new sister!" Naruto told me.

"You're the first person not to call me a freak or worthless," I told Naruto.

"You are the first person to not call me monster," Naruto told me.

I pulled back. I narrowed my eyes and looked at him.

"You're too funny looking to be considered a monster!" I told Naruto.

"Oh yeah?" Naruto asked me.

He started tickling me and I kept laughing. When I returned home later that night I didn't even care when my parents gave me a lecture on how ungrateful and rude I was and that I should be more like nii-san. I just smiled and pretended that I care all the while thinking of Naruto.

I just made a new brother.

(A/N: Has anyone ever noticed that she doesn't take long to make new family members? Also has anyone ever noticed that even at the age of two my characters are serious?)

****************************************************************************************************************

*flashback end*

I looked up at Itachi-nii and he looked back down at me.

"It's okay Itachi-nii," I told Itachi-nii.

Itachi-nii looked at me still. He was still hugging me. He moved his hand from my waist and wiped away my tears.

"Are you sure?" Itachi-nii asked me.

"I am sure nii-san. Besides, not all of my memories are bad!" I told Itachi-nii.

"Which are the ones that are not bad?" Itachi-nii asked me.

I smiled and looked up at him.

"The ones where I met Naruto, Sasuke, and you of course! All three of you changed my life forever!" I told Itachi-nii.

He let go of me.

"There will be a day when you will have to fight them, you do know that don't you?" Itachi-nii asked me.

"Yes. I know that, but I will have to worry about that when the time comes," I answered Itachi-nii.

"Anyways, going back to the subject at hand. Shinako's birthday is tomorrow, and so is yours, but you still have not gotten Shinako a present?" Itachi-nii asked me.

"No," I answered.

Itachi-nii sighed and lifted me up.

"I guess we are going shopping today," Itachi-nii told me.

He led me out the doors of the library.

"What did you get Shinako?" I asked Itachi-nii.

"You will find out tomorrow," Itachi-nii answered me.

"What'd you get me?" I asked him.

"Nothing," Itachi-nii answered smiling.

"You stink," I told him, poking his forehead.

"I was just kidding," Itachi-nii reassured me.

"Good, because we don't need another grandpa Kakuzu," I informed him.

Itachi-nii snickered and we left the base heading out to a town that had no idea who we were. Along the way I decided to start a conversation with Itachi-nii.

"Itachi-nii, I know that you miss Sasuke-nii," I told Itachi-nii.

Itachi looked at me.

"Sasuke-nii?" Itachi-nii asked me.

"Yeah, what else would he be?" I asked Itachi-nii.

***********************************************************************************************************

*Itachi Pov*

"Itachi-nii, I know that you miss Sasuke-nii," Tukiko told me.

I looked over to where she was walking with me.

Did she just say Sasuke-nii?

"Did you just say Sasuke-nii?" I asked Tukiko-chan.

"Yeah, what else would he be?" Tukiko-chan asked me.

Oh boy. Sasuke, my otouto, you have just been friendzoned. At the age of 8.

"Nothing, nothing at all imouto," I told her.

She smiled at me and I thought about what Sasuke had told me the first time he had seen Tukiko-chan and the day she had left Konoha.

*************************************************************************************************************

*flashback*

*Six Years Ago*

Sasuke walked through the door and headed up the stairway and into my room. I looked at him and sighed. He had a habit of walking into my room without permission. Only today he seemed happier than usual.

"Itachi-nii! I made a new friend today!" Sasuke told me running over to me and standing directly in front of me.

"What's his name?" I asked him.

"It's actually a girl nii-san, and her name is Tukiko," Sasuke told me.

"Oh, I see. You like her, don't you?" I asked Sasuke raising my eyebrow.

He blushed a deep crimson and shook his head repeatedly.

"No way nii-san! Besides she thinks of me as a brother," Sasuke informed me, becoming sad when he told me the last part.

"Judging by your tone I'm guessing that you don't feel the same way?" I asked him raising my eyebrow.

"No I don't, but maybe as we grow up she'll feel the same!" Sasuke told me, lighting up as he said the last part.

"That's the spirit otouto, now go take a bath, you have dirt on your clothes and face and you smell terrible," I told him, shoving him outside of my bedroom door.

What? I don't care if that WAS harsh, he did smell bad. I had a feeling that that mud on his face was also maybe a little animal droppings too......

***********************************************************************************************************

*flashback*

*Three years ago*

I sighed as I heard footsteps outside of my room.

Oh great, Sasuke was probably going to bother me about Tukiko-chan and how much he needed my help again. Honestly, it was getting awkward because Tukiko-chan felt like a sister to me. And my brother in love with my sister........YOU tell me how you think that sounds.

He stopped outside of my door and i waited for him to swing it open and tell me all about his day, instead i just heard sniffles and a knock on my door. That couldn't mean anything good so i got up from my bed and silently walked towards the door, opening it all the way and I see Sasuke standing there crying and looking at the ground.

"Sasuke, what's wrong otouto?" I asked Sasuke, bending down so that I was face to face with him.

"I-it's Tukiko-c-chan. S-she told me s-she was leaving t-today. And b-before I could try to s-stop her, she was g-g-g-gone!" Sasuke told me, sobbing and trying to wipe the tears away.

I hugged him and looked at him in the eyes.

"Sasuke. It will be okay," I sayed, trying to reassure him.

"No it won't Itachi-nii! You don't understand, she was the only girl that was actually sane! She's also the first girl I've ever met that has not directly fallen in love with me!" Sasuke told me.

I finally understood and I let go of Sasuke, and stood up.

"You'll see her again Sasuke, don't worry. It may be a long time from now, but if you really do love her than you'll wait Sasuke, can you do that?" I asked him.

"Yes nii-san! I promise you that I will wait on Tukiko-chan! Because I love her!" Sasuke told me.

I felt even worse a few years later when the second person he loved left his life. I felt even worse for the fact that I killed the other people whom he loved in his life, but it had to be done. For the benefit of Konoha.

***********************************************************************************************************

*Flashback end*

*Tukiko Pov*

"Itachi-nii, you still haven't commented when I told you that you missed Sasuke-nii," I pointed out.

"Yes I miss him, but what can I do? I was the only one that could have done what had to be done. If Sasuke hates me for it then so be it," Itachi-nii told me.

"You're so selfless sometimes Itachi-nii," I told him.

"Sometimes?" Itachi-nii asked as we neared the village.

"Don't push it," I warned him.

He snickered and we walked into the village searching for things that Shinako-chan would like. When something caught my eye in the window.

"Wait right here," I told Itachi-nii.

"I'm not a dog," Itachi-nii told me, narrowing his eyes.

"Really? You smell like one," I told him as I ran into the store before he could catch me.

I got the object I had seen that caught my eye and I returned to Itachi-nii.

"You got it gift wrapped?" Itachi-nii asked me.

"I'm lazy okay!" I yelled at him as I threw my hands into the air.

He chuckled and hoisted me up onto his shoulder.

"What's you get her?" Itachi-nii asked me.

"That's a secret!" I told Itachi-nii.

"Fine," Itachi-nii sighed.

We left the village and headed towards the new base that we had recently moved into after the last one got ransacked by enemies. Luckily Shinako-chan and I were taken away by kaa-san to our new base so that no one knew the Akatsuki was holding two children.

Itachi-nii moved the boulder and we went in, once we were all the way in Itachi-nii shut the boulder again. Itachi-nii proceeded walking until we were in my room. Once we were there Itachi set me down into my bed and tucked me in.

"Itachi-nii, I don't want to sleep yet! Shinako-chan isn't asleep yet!" I complained.

"I don't care about Shinako's health, SHE is not my imouto, YOU are," Itachi-nii explained to me.

"Can you at least tell me a bedtime story?" I asked Itachi-nii rubbing my eyes.

"Once upon a time there was a little girl that was two years old and who was abused every day by her older brother. she met this boy one day by running away from her nii-san. A few weeks after meeting this boy she met his older brother. That boys older brother began to think of that little girl as a little sister. She never told him about anything that happened in her life though, she kept it all to herself. The older brother started to notice that she would have a new bruise or scar on her every time she visited him. He began to get curious and he started to ask her about how she got all of the scars. She would always lie and he would just get more curious. One day as the older brother was walking to the training grounds with his younger brother he ran into the little sister he had come to love. He saw her getting beaten by her older brother. The young boy wanted to get involved but his older brother stopped him and intervened. He took his little sister in his hands and punched her abusive older brother in the stomach. He threatened to kill his imouto's older brother thinking that that would end the beatings but it had just made it worse. Eventually the older brother had enough and decided that if his imouto was getting abused at home, then her nii-san would get abused at school. The bruises were still there but they got better and happened less and less each day. When the little girl left the older brother and younger brother were very sad but discovered that it would be for the best if the girl was somewhere where she could not be abused. Three years later the older brother found his imouto, only she had gotten taller and had been given a good family. A family that wasn't exactly good, but that she still loved," Itachi-nii told me.

I yawned.

"What's going to happen to them?" I asked Itachi-nii, getting sleepy.

"Only time will tell," Itachi-nii answered me.

"I love you Itachi-nii," I told Itachi-nii closing my eyes.

"I love you too Tukiko-chan," Itachi-nii told me, leaning down and kissing my forehead.

"Goodnight nii-san," I mumbled.

"Goodnight imouto," Itachi-nii told me, shutting of the light.

I yawned one last time before falling asleep.

*******************************************************************************************************

*The next Day*

*Shinako Pov*

(A/N: Yep! The story's mainly been about Tukiko's point of view, so lets try to involve Shinako too!)

I woke up and was instantly excited. I hadn't seen Tukiko all day yesterday, I was getting her gift with Tobi-nii as we were in town yesterday. Well, we also went to the candy store with Zetsu for a long time too. I would feel bad for leaving my best friend/sister alone the day before her birthday, but I heard that she and Itachi were hanging out together.

I jumped down from my bed and shook Tukiko awake.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?" Tukiko asked me, rubbing her eyes.

"It's our birthday today!!!!!" I reminded her.

"If it's our birthday than why did you wake me up so early?" Tukiko asked me.

"It's 10 in the morning....." I told her.

"And?" Tukiko asked, trying to lie back down.

"Oh geez, you're as bad as Hidan-kun!" I told her.

She sat upright at that and grinned really big at me.

"Ooooh ~ <3 kun? Using nicknames already?" Tukiko asked me.

I blushed crimson red.

"We are not talking about this on my birthday!" I told her.

She laughed.

"It's my birthday too, remember?" Tukiko-chan asked me.

She hopped out of bed and quickly went to go change clothes and brush her hair and teeth. I sighed and grabbed some clothes then headed into my closet to change. When I went back out I saw Tukiko sitting on the bed and swinging her feet. She glanced at me and smiled.

"Happy Birthday Shinako-chan," Tukiko told me.

"Happy Birthday Tukiko-chan," I told Tukiko.

I then headed into the bathroom to go brush my hair and my teeth.

I remember the day that Tukiko found me in the forest. She saved me from those boys. She was so strong. And I was so weak. That's why I like training with Hidan-kun. One reason is because I love him, and another reason is because even though Hidan-kun may be a great cusser and a masochistic joker who doesn't really take anything seriously, he is a good fighter. The best in my opinion.

Tukiko may not know this, especially with how much I tease her, but she's my idol, not just my best friend/sister.

I just hope that she likes the gift I give her. It reminded me so much of her so I knew that I had to get it.

**********************************************************************************************************

*Tukiko Pov*

(A/N: Yeah yeah, I know. Shinako's pov was so short lived. If you vote that I should have more of Shinako in the next chapter than please comment.)

I ran into the living room and saw that no one was there. Strange. The akatsuki were almost always in the living room watching tv or arguing over something stupid. I ran into the kitchen and saw no one there either. I ran outside and didn't see anyone there either. I then ran into grandpa Kakuzu's room and Orochimaru-nii's lab. No one was in either of the rooms.

I went back into the kitchen and saw Shinako sitting down at the table drinking milk.

"You can't find anyone either, huh?" Shinako asked me.

I walked over to the table and sat down with Shinako.

"Did you check the exercise room?" I asked Shinako.

"Yep, did you check the living room?" Shinako asked me.

"Yes, the swimming area?" I asked.

"Yes, Kakuzu's room?"

"Yeah, Sasori's room?" I asked.

"Yep, Orochimaru's lab?"

"Yep, dad's office?" I asked.

"Uhhhhh........no," Shinako told me.

We looked at each other and ran to dad's office. We opened the door and saw that everyone was in there. Plus, there was cake and presents!

"HAPPY (F****ING) BIRTHDAY TUKIKO-CHAN AND SHINAKO-CHAN!" everyone yelled.

"Thank you!" Shinako and I exclaimed in unision.

"Well, aren't Shinako-chan and Tukiko-chan going to open their presents?" Tobi asked us, bouncing around everywhere.

"Yeah Tobi, sure!" Shinako answered.

We walked over to the present table and piled up the presents that were ours next to us.

Shinako went first and she opened a present that was from dad. It was a book on ninjutsu.

"Thank you leader-sama!" Shinako told dad.

He smiled and nodded.

It was my turn next so I opened the one from dad. It was a book of genjutsu, my weakest subject.

"Thanks dad!" I told dad, smiling at dad.

He smiled in return.

"Your welcome," he told me.

Shinako opened the next gift which happened to be from kaa-san. She unwrapped it and found that it was a pink kimono with earrings and a necklace to match.

"Thanks Konan-chan!" Shinako told kaa-san.

"Your welcome," kaa-san replied, smiling.

I opened my present from kaa-san. It was a dark purple origami flower with little designs of wolves drawn onto the paper.

"It's so beautiful kaa-san!" I told kaa-san and I looked at her grinning. I put the flower into my hair.

"That's a big improvement!" Hidan-nii told me.

Sasori-nii elbowed him in the stomach and Hidan-nii grunted.

"Your welcome," kaa-san told me, ignoring Hidan.

"Was that my present from you Sasori-nii?" I asked Sasori-nii.

Everyone in the room except for Shinako and Hidan-nii laughed.

"No, that was just ONE of the two presents," Sasori-nii told me.

"Yeah, haha, very funny," Hidan-nii grumbled.

Shinako opened her next present which was from grandpa Kakuzu. It was ten dollars.

"Wow. Thanks Kakuzu!" Shinako told grandpa Kakuzu.

He just nodded and looked at the money as Shinako put it into her pocket.

I opened up my present from grandpa Kakuzu. It was five dollars.

"Hey!" I told grandpa Kakuzu.

He shrugged.

"You should know me by now Tukiko-chan, I'm cheap and since you're family you should understand that the most," grandpa Kakuzu told me.

I rolled my eyes and put the money in my pocket.

Grandpa Kakuzu and his cheapness.

Shinako opened her next present which was from Hidan-nii. It was her very own scythe, it was a light silver and the blades were a dark red and the tips of them were black.

"Oh my gosh!! This is the best gift ever! Thank you so much Hidan, I love you!" Shinako yelled and Hidan-nii blushed but hid it and began to chuckle.

"You're welcome," Hidan-nii told her.

I opened my gift next from Hidan-nii and saw that it was a book on weapons and also my own katana and a cover for it. On the cover was a black wolf that was howling at the moon. The background was a navy blue.

"Thanks Hidan-nii! This rocks!" I told him, giving him a toothy grin which he returned.

"Yep! Now maybe you can actually train with REAL weapons," Hidan-nii told me.

"Hey, kunai and shuriken are awesome weapons!" I protested.

"Yeah right," Hidan-nii responded.

"Nya!" I told Hidan-nii, sticking out my tongue at him.

He just laughed.

Shinako opened her next gift which was from Kisame-nii. It turned out to be a book on water jutsus, which was Shinako's worst subject.

"Awesome! Thanks Kisame, now I can learn not to fail at basic water jutsus!" Shinako told Kisame, grinning.

That's Shinako for you, she can insult herself and not care but if someone else insults her........well, let's just say that not a lot of people insult her. I was really surprised with how well Shinako had been improving. At first she couldn't stand up for herself, now she could kill anyone with just one hit! She's amazing, she's my idol.

"Your welcome shrimp," Kisame-nii told her, giving her a toothy grin.

That's Kisame-nii's nickname for her, in return she gives him a really cute nickname too.

"This is so awesome sharky, that I might have to train against you one day when I perfect everything in this book," Shinako-chan responded to Kisame-nii.

That wasn't her only nickname for her though, there's also shark-face, fish-face, sharkboy, and my personal favorite Jaws.

"Bring it on shrimp," Kisame-nii responded, chuckling.

I opened my gift from him next. It turned out to be a kunai.

"Thanks Kisame-nii, I'll add this to my collection," I told him.

"It's not just kunai. Think of another weapon and visualize that weapon in your head," Kisame-nii instructed me.

I did as I was told and thought of a bo, which is basically a stick. I looked down at my hands and sure enough, I was holding a bo. Hidan-nii started laughing.

"Your taste in weapons sucks," Hidan-nii told me.

I hit him with my bo and he flew into the wall. I smiled.

"This is the best gift ever," I told Kisami-nii, smiling at him.

I then looked at everyone else in the room, they looked jealous.

"I like everyone's gifts though! Don't worry, it's just the best gift Kisame-nii has ever given me," I explained, not wanting to hurt their feelings.

Everyone nodded their heads and looked happy again.

"Now you'll have a weapon on you at all times, just don't lose it, and if you do just picture it being in your hands," Kisame-nii instructed me.

I nodded and visualized it turning into a shuriken, which it did. I put it in my weapon pouch and looked at Shinako-chan who looked back at me. We both smiled.

Shinako then tried picked out another present but before she could open it Itachi-nii interrupted.

"Wait, I want to give you my gift right now," Itachi-nii told Shinako.

Shinako smiled and nodded. All of a sudden a very black raven flew into the room. It was beautiful, and it was medium sized. It's pupils were red. It was a really cool bird. What's even cooler is that Shinako-chan loved animals, especially birds.

"Awesome! He's so cool Itachi! Thanks!" Shinako told him as she held out her arm just as the bird landed on it.

He just nodded.

"Your welcome," Itachi-nii told her.

I opened a present that said that it was from Itachi-nii. It was a full book of poetry.

"Awesome! Thanks Itachi-nii, I needed new reading material," I told Itachi-nii smiling.

I love books, so sue me. I'm pretty sure reading isn't a crime and if it is, I'm in the akatsuki, do you think I would care? Plus, poetry is awesome!

"I thought you would like it," Itachi-nii told me, smiling.

"I do, it's awesome!" I told him.

Shinako opened her next gift which was from Zetsu. It was a rose that was pressed so that it wouldn't die. Shinako loved roses, they were her favorite flower.

"Wow! Thanks Zetsu, I love it!" Shinako told Zetsu-nii.

She put it near her other presents. Zetsu-nii smiled.

"You're welcome Shinako-chan," Zetsu told Shinako.

(A/N: Yeah, caps wasn't working for me so, I'm going to use bold now.)

I opened my present from Zetsu-nii. It was 15 packets of chocolate pocky.

"OH MY GOSH!!!! THANK YOU ZETSU-NII! I LOVE YOU!" I told Zetsu-nii, running over to hug him.

He chuckled and hugged me back.

"Only you would freak out about anything chocolate," Orochimaru-nii told me, shaking his head.

"You know you love me," I told Orochimaru-nii.

He just rolled his eyes and smiled.

The next gift Shinako opened was from Tobi-nii. This was going to be good. Tobi considered Shinako more of a sister than he did me. Did it hurt my feelings? No, I know Tobi and Shinako had a strong connection. When Tobi finds out that Shinako likes Hidan he'll go into protective mode, I can't WAIT until that happens.

Shinako picked at the swirly orange wrapping, which was different from the other wrappings because it didn't have newspaper for wrapping. She finally opened the present and saw that it was a necklace. Not just any necklace though, it was a necklace with a lollipop that was a swirly orange like what Tobi's mask looked like. The necklace was a silver chain that held the lollipop charm. Even I thought it was pretty cool.

"This is the prettiest gift I've ever gotten Tobi-nii!" Shinako told Tobi as she hugged him.

Tobi hugged her back.

"Tobi is glad that Shinako-chan likes her preent!" Tobi told her.

I opened my present from Tobi next. It was a plushi piece of shrimp sushi. I could tell that he had to have it hand made. Everyone in the room started laughing. I hugged the plushie and smiled.

"Thanks Tobi!" I told Tobi.

"Tukiko-chan is welcome!" Tobi told me.

Shinako picked up Orochimaru-nii's present next. It was a charm bracelet that had snakes on it.

"Thank you Orochimaru," Shinako-chan told Orochimaru-nii.

Shinako didn't hate Orochimaru-nii, but he kind of creeped her out a bit.

"You're welcome," Orochimaru-nii told her, smiling.

I opened the present that Orochimaru-nii gave me and found out that it was a snake plushie.

"Sweet! This is awesome Orochimaru-nii! Thanks!" I told Orochimaru-nii as I hugged the plushie then put it in my present pile.

"You're welcome," Orochimaru-nii responded, smiling.

That left Sasori-nii' present. Shinako opened up Sasori-nii's present and found out that it was a wooden doll with very delicate design.

"Thanks Sasori! This is really pretty!" Shinako told Sasori-nii.

"You're welcome," Sasori-nii told Shinako.

I opened my present next. It was one of the best presents I have ever gotten. It was a red wooden scorpion.

"This is really cool Sasori-nii! I love it! Your art is the best thing ever!" I told Sasori-nii, hugging him.

He hugged me back and smiled slightly.

"I was hoping that you'd like it," Sasori-nii told me.

"I do! It's totally awesome!" I informed him.

"Okay okay! Now let's eat cake!" Shinako told us.

"YEAH!" we all shouted as we headed towards the cake, which was chocolate and vanilla ice-cream cake.

We ate cake and talked and argued the rest of the day. This was the best birthday ever.

The Akatsuki may be the most feared organization ever, but it was my family and I loved them.

I was just worried about what would happen when they found out about my past, because one day that will come.

And that day is getting closer.
