Uzumaki-Hikari: Hey everyone! Thanks for all the reviews! Anyway, quick explanation…at the beginnings and ends of the upcoming chapters you'll see Daichi and Ayatsuri doing their own thing…like an epilogue through out the story…anyway…You'll see soon enough the significance of their parts. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: (I hate doing this every chapter) I don't own Akatsuki…only Daisuke, Daichi, and Ayatsuri.
Chapter One: Surprise and Memory
Shinigami Daichi stared out at the water, sharingan fading to hazel. A warm breeze brushed against his cheek softly as he watched the lake's surface travel in ripples. His raven black bangs softly rode the breeze then became still. Clenching the dark blue cloth in his hand, the twenty-four year old vampire-cross breed refrained himself from crying. With another breeze, the high collar of his light blue Uchiha shirt rustled around his neck and chin. The cloth became stained as tears dripped from Daichi's cheeks. Why did it all happen? Why couldn't he just have left them alone? Why did Orochimaru murder him?
----------------------
"Itachi? Itachi where are you?" Daisuke called. He searched the entire hideout, trying to locate his lover.
"He's with Sasori, un," Deidara explained when he saw the half-breed in the halls. "Said he was feeling ill this morning."
Daisuke's eye twitched. "Wait, what? Sick? He was fine a week ago…unless."
Deidara gave Daisuke a weird look. "I don't think Itachi's-"
"I'M PREGNANT?!" Itachi's shout was heard from Sasori's room.
Deidara winced. "Uh, maybe I should go, un."
Daisuke stared down the hall, not even noticing Deidara's retreat. "I'm so dead."
A small black box in Daisuke's hand found itself back in the pouch at his side. The half-breed walked hesitantly toward the open door. When he reached the doorway he found a shocked Itachi staring at Sasori who was plugging his ears. Sharingan eyes shot to Daisuke and narrowed. Daisuke gulped, knowing what was coming next.
"How did I get pregnant, Daisuke? There is no way a male should become pregnant!" Itachi exclaimed.
Daisuke walked over to the Uchiha and put his arms around his koi. "I don't know, Itachi. I can't quite explain it myself."
Sasori unplugged his ears. "I can explain if you two won't freak out."
The couple nodded and clasped hands. One in need of comfort, the other for support.
Sasori let out a sigh. "Okay, so it seems that in the Uchiha bloodline there is a gene for male pregnancy. That's how Itachi became pregnant. Him being the female role in this relationship didn't help any either. How many times have you two had sex?"
Daisuke blushed as he stuttered. "O-once, after I w-was accepted into Akatsuki."
Itachi felt his own cheeks heat up at the embarrassing truth. How many times do they want us to have sex?
Sasori raised an eyebrow. "Well, you must have done something right. Itachi's going to be a mother and you're now a daddy Daisuke. Good luck. Now get out of my room."
As they left, Daisuke held Itachi close. "Well, it's not like it's the end of the world."
Itachi rolled his eyes. "Maybe you should have been uke."
Daisuke let go of Itachi. "Well if you feel that way I guess I won't ask then."
Itachi raised an eyebrow. "What were you going to ask me?"
Daisuke shook his head. "Nope, not going to say it."
Itachi raced to Daisuke's front. "Please?"
Daisuke smiled. He pulled out a small black box and opened it. Holding it up revealed a gold ring embedded with six ruby's along its surface. "Uchiha Itachi, will you marry me?"
----------------------
"Kisame?" Itachi searched the woods for his teammate. "Kisame this is no time for fooling around. We have a job to do."
"You're partner's busy at the moment," a mysterious voice answered from behind the Uchiha. Itachi suddenly felt his arms pulled behind his back and tied with something. A black cloth suddenly covered his eyes, making his sharingan useless.
"Who are you?" Itachi asked calmly. "Is there need for such measures?"
"Yeah, if I don't want my identity known and if I want to stay out of Tsukiyomi, Uchiha Itachi," the voice answered.
Itachi stiffened at the mention of his name. It was then that he realized his cloak had been snapped down and pulled back to reveal his neck and shoulder. He found himself shiver at the touch of gentle fingers on his exposed skin.
"Don't worry, I'll be gentle, Itachi," the voice whispered into Itachi's ear.
"Just tell me your name. It seems you know mine," the Uchiha kept his voice calm.
"Shinigami," the man answered. "My name is Shinigami."
"So, you expect me to believe that you're the infamous assassin who's called a death god? Rumor has it you're not even human."
"Correct," Shinigami answered. "I'm not human. Now, if you'd just relax, this will all be over in a minute."
Itachi was taken by surprise as something sharp intruded his neck. Surprising even himself, the normally stoic Uchiha let out a cry of pain. In a few moments, a tongue was caressing the wound then his cloak and shirt were set backing their rightful places. Itachi unclenched his teeth as arms wrapped around his waist to support his body as his knees began to buckle.
"Easy there," Shinigami soothed. "I didn't take that much."
"Why are you so gentle?" Itachi asked, feeling himself slipping into unconsciousness.
"I'll answer that another time," Shinigami answered as he gently removed the tie and blindfold from the Uchiha. He set the teenager down and stared at him for awhile. He leaned forward gently touched Itachi's lips with his own. "When we see each other again."
Itachi opened his eyes and sat up slowly. Looking down at Daisuke beside him, a smile graced his lips. His voice came out barely a whisper. "You never answered my question, Shinigami."
----------------------------
Orochimaru smiled as he lifted an infant from it's crib. "Hello little one and welcome to the world. I've got big things planned for you."
Kabuto entered the room, a smirk on his mouth. "It seems the Uchiha is pregnant, Lord Orochimaru. Are you sure your plan will work?"
Orochimaru cuddled the infant close, kissing the top of it's head gently. "Of course, Kabuto. Little Ayatsuri will be the perfect ninja to complete the task in his future."
Kabuto stepped forward and looked at the babe. His eyes narrowed at the infant's left eye. "There's something wrong with his left eye."
Orochimaru sighed and cooed to the babe in his arms. "Nothing's wrong with you Ayatsuri. Nothing at all. You have the summoning jutsu sealed within your eye. I'll teach you how to use it and soon you'll be summoning snakes and causing havoc."
Kabuto pushed up his glasses before rubbing the scar on his throat. "He'll cause havoc alright. He's got Sasori's puppet skills and Deidara's clay bomb abilities. He'll be a tough opponent to beat when he grows up."
Orochimaru smiled as Ayatsuri grabbed hold of his index finger and sucked on it playfully. The babe looked up with mint green eyes. Orochimaru winced as the tiny mouth on Ayatsuri's palm bit his finger. Well, we know where he has teeth now.
----------------------------
Ayatsuri sat on a branch, watching a squirrel eating nuts from his hand. His mint green eyes watched with amazement as he waited for Daichi to come back from his day of solitude. When the nuts were all gone, Ayatsuri pet the little squirrels head with his index and middle fingers. "Sorry, but that's all I have. If you want, we can go see if I have more in my pack at the base of the tree."
The squirrel jumped onto his shoulder and Ayatsuri made the decent.

Uzumaki-Hikari: And it's done! Well this chapter anyway. Sorry for the long wait. I hope this was worth it. Anyway, quick background info. I was asked if Sasori and Deidara could have a kid to be Daichi's companion…so I had to think of how he was going to enter the story…since neither Deidara nor Sasori can really have fun…since Sasori's a puppet ad all…...ahem…so yeah…Hope you like.
Deidara: Oh great! Now I have an experiment for a kid...I am so not the mommy.
Itachi: Hey! You can just join me with being mommy. I am not being a mother alone, blondie!
Uzumaki-Hikari: Anyway…please review!
