Hatake Azami. That's her name. At least, that's what she's been told by her Oji-Chan. He won't actually tell her anything about her family. If anyone is alive or why she can't remember them. Was she abandoned? Did they not want her anymore? Was it something she did?

Despite her Oji-Chan assuring her that it isn't her fault, she can't seem to believe him. The only family she's known is him and her Nii-chan. She knows that they aren't her real family, but they're all that she knows. She isn't allowed to be outside so she hasn't interacted with many others. She also can't compare her family to others. She doesn't know what a real family is like or supposed to be like.

Azami sighs as she stares at the dull concrete ceiling. At least she has all of her Oji-Chan's and Nii's. She's just glad she isn't truly alone. Sure, none of them are related by blood but it's close enough for her.

The small four-year old girl gets out of her creaky bed and begins stretching. Looking around at her dull underground room, she frowns. It takes a moment for her to remember where she is. They had moved bases once again and to one she hasn't been to before.

The white-haired girl moves to her bag that's against the wall and begins looking for her clothes. Once fully dressed in a black dress and leggings, Azami sets out for the day. The halls are dim and mostly confusing but that's okay. She's memorized the ways of the halls yesterday.

Taking a left, the girl begins to hum to herself. Azami thinks about who's turn it is to cook breakfast today and shudders. Maybe she can skip her meals today? Or maybe her Nii could sneak her something good to eat once he gets back from his errands today.

Nodding to herself, Azami blinks to realize she's made it to the main room. She smiles seeing her family already awake and walking about. She runs to the person closest to her and jumps at them, latching herself on their leg. She looks up and smiles brightly.

"Morning Hi-oji-chan!" She exclaims. The man she's holding on to looks down at her slightly annoyed.

He narrows his magenta eyes at her and picks her off of his leg and places her in front of him as he crouches. "Brat, how many times have I said not to call me that?" He asks, treading his fingers in his silver hair.

Azami pouts, "A lot, Hi-oji-chan."

Hidan sighs in exasperation before standing up. He ruffles her white hair as he walks past. "I've got a mission today brat. Bother someone else while I'm gone," he says while leaving the living room. She waves him goodbye before turning to her next target.

"Ita-nii!" She cries happily while running up the stoic teenager.

Itachi smiles a little as Azami runs up to him. "Good morning Aza-Chan," he greets while picking her up on her demand.

She smiles and hugs him around the neck before being set on top of the table. The table was in between the kitchen and the living room so she could see everyone fairly well. She looks behind her to the kitchen and shivers.

Leaning over she whispers (badly) in Itachi's ear, "Help me! I don't want to eat Kaku-oji-Chan's food! I'll die! That's how bad it is!"

She's then picked up by the back of her dress making her yelp. Looking up she's met with green eyes surrounded in red. She smiles sheepishly. "Good morning Kaku-oji-chan!"

Kakuzu huffs before setting her back down. "Brat, see if I ever feed you again," he says turning away.

"Aw! But Kaku-oji!" Azami pouts before laughing. "Love you too oji!" Her reply was a grunt.
