I don't own Naruto.
The woman lend against the wall. "I'm sick of running." she whispered seemingly to herself. "I want to go back to him."
"Nee-chan, you know we…" The first woman stood up and glared at the smaller one.
"I can't take it anymore! I want to go home! It's been 10 years, Aoi, 10 goddamn years. I'm going back."
"You ca-" She disappeared in a poof of smoke. "Amaya-nee…you dumbass bitch." Aoi shook her head and disappeared as well.
"Nee-chan! What's the answer to number 5?" asked 9-year-old Sabaku no Kiyoshi.
"Maybe you'd do better on tests if you did your own homework?" suggested his twin sister, Kiseki.
"I don't read well and I suck at math, do you want me to become a Gennin before I'm 20 or not!?" exclaimed Kiyoshi. "What kinda sister are you?"
"The kind who's such a push over." she sighed, then handed her finished paper to her brother. "But, if dad walks in, you stole it from me."
"Deal." Kiyoshi started copying while Kiseki walked over to one of the bookshelves in the study. They spent more time in the place than their father did, since they we're allowed at meetings anymore after Sande had gotten angry at 2 Kiri "peace-makers" Accusing her daddy of murder, she couldn't help but yell at them that their Mizukage had killed 2 of his children, (after a little snooping she'd found out that her Aunt Momo had been killed for trying to keep their mother alive) and locked her brother and her up in a goddamn cell for 5 years. In Kiseki's mind, her daddy had been too kind to kill him quick. "The stupid Kiri "peace-makers" are here to try and fix ties with Suna, and Konoha."
"Like hell daddy or Naruto-kun will agree to that! Not after everything!" exclaimed Kiseki, dropping her book. "How dare they come back! I don't give a damn what the council thinks. Daddy doesn't what peace with them and I want those assholes as far away as humanly possible!"
"Your going to the meeting room, aren't you?"
"Hell yeah!" Kiseki set her book down and ran out the door to the meeting room. She burst into the room, but only the 2 men she didn't know reacted.
"Akashi-sama." The 2 bowed their heads, and she gave then dirty looks to them. Gaara, Naruto, and several council members were silent.
"What's going on? Last time everyone was yelling at each other." She asked. The taller of the "peace-makers" stood up, walked over to her, and bowed.
"We did an investigation on why Akashi Momo was executed, and dug up your mother's grave." he explained.
"You asshole! Digging up Mama's grave!" yelled both twins.
"No, no, you see, we didn't find anything there. No bones, no cloth, no hair, nothing." The twins exchanged looks. "We believe Akashi Amaya is alive, and with Akashi Aoi."
"What do you mean? Explain to me everything." ordered Kiseki. "I thought my Aunt was still in Kiri."
"No, Akashi-sama."
"Sabaku no." She corrected.
"Aoi-sama disappeared shortly after your father took you from Kiri."
"Good for her." Kiseki push a strand of hair behind her ear. "You believe my mother's alive, and away from your village, and hasn't been here."
"We have a theory on that as well." He cleared his throat. "We have special cells that have chakra sucking walls, and if someone, say Amaya-sama, was in it for the period of time we believe she was, it would take her 3 to 4 years to regain enough chakra to be able to take on an ANBU like Aoi-sama."
"So, your saying we may hear from our mother soon?" asked Kiyoshi, leaning forward from behind his sister.
"Yes, we do. And we'd like you to tell us if you do hear from her." Gaara finally stood up and walked over to them.
"What would you do if we did tell you? I would never give you her so you could kill her. I've lost Amaya once already." The man looked at him, then sighed.
"I guess I cannot ask you to do that again." He looked at the younger man, a tall blond probably about 19. "Come along, Mizukage-sama." He left but the Mizukage walked over to them, and knelt in front of the twins.
"Please, sent me a letter at this address if Amaya does show up." He handed them a paper, and patted her head. "You look just like her, both of you." He got up and left. Kiseki looked at the paper, and gasped.
