Raising Nukenin's

Chapter .1

Kana PV

"Wait, wait, wait!" I inhaled quickly as my dad stopped me. My cheeks were puffed out like those cute little chipmunks on TV and right in front of me was my sixteenth birthday cake, I know most parents would probably go to a bakery and make a order for a "super duper" triple layer cake, with you know the kids favorite flavor or whatever.

But yeah, my parents aren't that excited to spend THAT much money for a cake, so the alternative was a ice cream cake from Dairy Queen, but hey, who am I to complain? Ice cream is ice cream, and cake is cake! And I don't care what the hell you guys say BUT this was the best cake ever!

"Okay! Now!" I blew out the candles loudly, hopefully none of my spittle landed in the cake. . . . Ha ha, probably ruined it for my parents. During my big 'wishing' moment my dad had snapped a few pictures, he always said that pictures spoke more than words, in this case in was true.

"Oh, my baby girl is finally become a lady!" My moms warm arms wrapped around my shoulders as she tried to hug me from behind, I heard my dad take another picture a smile gracing his freshly shaved face, even though a few more facial hairs were sprouting. Those things NEVER stayed gone for long.

"Oh! We should have bought you a better cake! Me and your father are so sorry!"

Dad snorted when he went to grab a paper plate.

"Sorry my ass, I've told you and your mother, there is no way in hell I'm buying a thirty dollar cake, made of "Passion Fruit"!"

Oh god, I never should have told him about Zane's birthday cake, but then again he always lied about stuff, said he was a orphan a few months ago, but after talking to Alex, I know it was all a bunch of shit. People these days. . .

Mom and dad continued bantering back and forth about the cake, I thought it was silly, a cake is a cake. Well only if it was chocolate.

I cut myself a piece of the chocolate ice cream cake, thanking my dad for bringing me the knife and plate, as soon as I got my fork I was practically half way through my first piece, this was amazing! I will never look at a normal cake in the same way.

"Okay, shut up honey, it's present time!" My mom shuffled out of the room while my dad slowly ate his piece of cake. He wasn't much of a party person, unless the party involved his friends and drinking outside on the patio.

"Okay! Here you go! We hope you like them!"

She handed me the three wrapped gifts. Yeah, I don't get lots of presents but then again it didn't matter, I'm happy I got something! They always get what I really want, or my dad does, and my mom, but she'd rather take me out shopping, which was cool with me.

I tore through the first present which was a DS game, Kingdom Hearts 385/2 Days*. I squealed happily. "Ohmygod,Iloveyouguysso,so,much!" Embarrassing I know but I've been asking for the game for months now, even though the game was a year or two old. It's still Kingdom Hearts!

The second present was a book, I knew since it only had a bow tied to it, still they bothered with something. It was Dragons Oath** I grinned, I loved the author she was amazing! Already had her House of Night*** Series on my shelf.

And my last present was in a large plastic bag, which they probably bought at WalMart. Inside was, more presents, a Cloud**** Plushie, and a few rolled up posters.

I love my parents so much! I could almost start crying.

"So do you like it?"

I nodded happily. I already jumped from the chair to give them hugs my mom happily returned it and my dad, well he gave me one of those half assed hugs since he was trying to clean off the tables. I let go to return to my scrumptious cake. I cut another big piece off and walked happily to my room.

Before I could even make it to the stairs my mom called. "Kana!"

I sighed. "Yeah!"

She poked her head form the door frame. "What did you wish for?"

I grinned mischievously. "I wished for a baby boy, duh!"

I skipped to my room happily, while my mom stood their gaping like a fish out of water.

"B-baby! W-what! D-Dan! Did you hear her!"

"YES I HEARD! I AM RIGHT HEAR!"

I couldn't control it anymore, I burst into laughter as soon as I stepped into my room, oh god! They really thought I wished for a baby! All they do is eat, poop and cry, and then eat, pee, poop and cry! But they were still a little cute. . . .

Akatsuki PV

It was oddly a very peaceful day in the Akatsuki base, everyone was out of the base on missions except for Pein and Konan. Konan sat quietly in her quarters folding her paper, trying to resemble it to a bouquet of roses, which was easy if she used her jutsu, but sometimes she felt the need to use her hands.

Pein, who was pacing outside her door, was fretting uncontrollably, nobody was able to see this side of him, not even Konan, he knew that even though he possessed this body, the body was not able to prevent him from getting nervous so his emotions were, still, very clearly, able to be processed.

So fifteen minutes pacing outside Konan's door only worsened his nervousness.

"Okay Pein. You are a very sexy man, who has amazing hair, great body and, too many piercing's normal for a ninja or human, puppet. . . . Wait. . . ."

"Pein?"

Shit. . . .

He turned around rigidly giving Konan a very crocked smile, which was obviously forced.

"H-hi, K-Konan!"

"Hi. . ." She said it slowly and uncertainly. What was he doing outside her door, for over fifteen minutes at that. . . .

"Do you need something Pein?"

Oh crap! Pein thought furiously, this was his chance, conversation, conversation. . . . . .

"I think we need to go on a mission!"

Huh?

Konan looked at him with a cocked eyebrow. "Mission?"

Pein nodded is head vigorously. "Yeah."

Pein was acting different today. . . He looked like the little boy she new when she was a little girl, nervous and shy. It was kind of cute when she looked closely. But of course she wouldn't openly admit this to anyone.

"Is that it?"

Grow some balls Pein! You are the god! You are the leader! Talk to the woman like a man!

"Well, yeah. . . During the "mission" I was wondering if-"

"You cock sucking son of a bitch-!"

No, no! Not them! If there is a god who is far more superior than me, please! Strike that buffoon down! Pein thought frantically, praying.

Nothing.

"I'd do it if you'll pay me."

". . . . How much?"

Their was a moment of silence and then the screaming began once again.

"Are you fucking crazy! Who the hell would pay that much! I bet bloodies hair doesn't even cost that much to get done!"

Konan gave Pein a pat on the shoulder offering a small smile, which he hadn't seen in years. "What were you saying?" he felt heat rise to his cheeks, and his stuttering mess began again, even though their was loud cursing in the background he could rally.

"Uh, yeah, when we're out on the 'mission'-"

"Deidara-Sempai! Wait for Tobi! Tobi bought you some ribbons while in town!"

"I don't want the damn ribbons!"

"B-but, but, but-!"

Zetsu walked quietly besides Tobi as he was once again brushed off by Deidara. Who was fuming, for the millionth time, with Sasori chuckling in the kitchen.

"Don't worry Tobi, if he wont take your gifts I can always eat him."

"No! Don't eat Deidara-Sempai he's just shy!"

Pein groaned internally. Did the world really hate him that much!

He cursed himself loudly inside. Is that all you got world! Throw some more shit on me while your at it!

"Hello~ We're home!"

"Oh shut up Kisame."

Kisame chuckled as he followed his semi blind partner to their respective quarters.

"Ouch, feisty today huh Weasel?"

Itachi growled lowly. "I told you not to call me that."

Pein's shoulder slumped ash e heard the last of his annoy members re enter the bass. Konan strained to speak to him over the loud chattering or. . . Screaming. He just rose his hand idly and walked back to his 'office'. feet dragging tiredly across the floor.

Fucking hate this world. . . . .
