Thank Read and Review! Please?

Ike took the envelope back and hastily opened it. Marth watch angst-ly. Acid watched with a slight frown. He may be four but he has ears. Ike read over the letter with a disapproving look forming on his face. He crumpled the letter while mumbling 'old man' under his breath. Marth raised an eyebrow as Ike threw the paper on the floor and stomp on it.

Acid walked over and hit Ikes foot. "MOVE!" the boy demanded as Ike moved his foot. Acid picked the letter up and read it. Slowly a smile appeared on Acids cute face. "He is getting old." The young one laughed out. Acid looked up to Marth who bent down to take the paper. Marth read over it. "He threw his back out during training and will back tonight?" Marth asked with a small smile. Ike nodded and Acid laughed more. "Stupid old man" Acid said covering his mouth playfully. Ike smiled at that. "We will tease him more when he gets home."

Link and Pit came home to Acids laughter filling the house. "What's so funny?" Pit asked. Ike welcomed him home with a paper to the face. Link caught it before it hit the ground. He uncrumpled it and read it as Pit read it over his shoulder. They both started to laugh. "Acid is making Father a welcome home picture." Marth said with a smile. Pit and Link went over to where Acid was and saw the picture. It was their father in bed with all the kids around him. Pit smiled at the writing. 'Don't worry; It's our turn to take care of you.' It was good for a four year old.

Roy came home distraught. He heard laughter in the house and didn't want to ruin it. HE opened the door and saw his brothers laughing. 'Well… im going to kill the mood.' He thought closing the door. Everyone smiled and welcomed him home. Marth noticed something wrong. "Roy, what's wrong?" he asked. Marth sat Acid down so he could stand. Roy felt bad. He sighed and looked directly at Ike. "I can't find Ness or Lucas." He said scratching the back of his head. Everyone froze and stood. "They weren't at school?" Link asked. "It was a early day for them." He said shaking his head. Ike closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Roy stay here with Acid and rest…" he said looking at Roy who nodded. Ike turned to everyone else. "We split up."

Link and Pit met up an hour into the search. "I can't believe they are gone." Pit said with some tears slowly falling from his eyes. Link nodded and ruffled Pits hair. "We'll Find them." He said not too sure of himself but he had to make his little brother feel better. Even if he was just as scared and worried.

Marth huffed and wiped some sweat off his brow. He talked to some kids playing out but only one saw them. Over 4 hours ago… when school got out. He sighed. "I'll kill BOTH if I find them."

Ike ran and ran and ran. He didn't know where else to look. He was worried. He felt sick how worried he was. He barf awhile back. He lost Ness and Lucas. Snake asked him for one little thing… 'Watch your brothers.' And that was all he asked. He couldn't even do that. He paused. HE was so dehydrated. He wasn't even sweating any more. Salt stuck to his skin. He couldn't stop though. The letter said his father would be back… TONIGHT! It had been such a good day too. For the first day in his life his father depended on him and he blew it.

Roy looked at the clock, four hours into the search. The front door opened. Roy jumped up and ran around the couch. His jaw dropped when Snake entered. Acid walked up to Roy and bit his lip when he saw his dad. Acid ran up to him. Snake lifted Acid up with a wince. (Shame on you and your bad back. YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT! XD) "Where is everyone else?" Snake asked wincing from Acid added weight. Roy took a deep breath in. "Father do get mad…" he said nervously. Snake raised an eyebrow with a disbelieving look. "We believe Ness and Lucas ran away." Roy said quickly. Snakes jaw dropped and handed Acid over to Roy \. He quickly ran out of the house.

Ness and Lucas looked out of the window of the ware house they were staying in. "You don't need to be here." Ness said to Lucas. Lucas shook his head. "No. I'll Stay it's just for today." He said. Truth be told he was worried about his brothers behavior. When Ness told him he was going run away he begged to come along. Lucas planned on calling the family when Ness fell asleep but Ness said he was going to stay awake all night. He sighed. They were in SO much trouble when they got home.

Snake sent Link and Pit home when he found them looking down an ally way. It was late and dangerous to be out. They were tired and needed rest. He told them not to worry; they could stay home from school tomorrow. After awhile he found Marth and sent him home with the same warning. Now Snake was worried because he couldn't find Ike either. Snake looked around the park. There he found Ike lying next to the water fountain. Snake ran to him. "Ike, Wake up." HE said shaking the boy. Snake then touched his son cheek to feel the salt and fever. "Got yourself worried sick." Snake said slowly picking the boy up. 'My back is going to hate me for doing all this.' He thought as needles of pain shot through his back.

Marth tucked Roy in, who finally fell asleep. Link and Pit fell asleep on the floor awhile ago. Acid cuddled next to Roy. Marth looked up as he heard the front door open. "Ike!" Marth yelled running over to Snake. "Get some water." Snake grunted out. Man, the boy was heavy. HE gently laid Ike down on the couch. "Worrying just like your mother." Snake said. Marth came back with cold water and towels. Snake wince when he tried to pick the water bucket up. Marth smiled. "I'll carry it."

After Snakes Amazing First aid skills. Ike was looking better and not sweating salt. MArth watched over Ike as Snake went back out to look for his little boys. Who will die if found.

At sunrise everyone was awake and beyond worried their little would never be found. Snake didn't return last night. Even Ike was awake. "OH GODS! It's my fault." Roy said pushing his face into the pillow. Marth looked at the failing duo (link and Pit) who were trying to calm Acid down. Marth shook his head and when over to pick up Acid. " Ike, are you okay? Father said he was going to take you to the doctors today." Marth said giving his tein some water with his free hand. Ike took the cup. "We were left alone for one day and screwed up so badly." He said taking a drink. Everyone couldn't agree more.

Snake walked home. He was beyond tired, depressed and worried. His whole body hurt. From yesterdays training and to today searching. His back was going to be the end of him. The doctor ordered bed rest… which he got none of. What was pissing him off the most was the fact he had no idea where Ness and Lucas were. He sighed. 'I'm just not cut out to be a dad.' He thought entering his home. Time to call the police.

Ness and Lucas made it home slowly. "I hope everyone is at school." Ness said. Lucas nodded. "I hope dads not home." Ness looked up at the house, "I bet they didn't even know we were gone."

Snake head jerked up when he heard the door open. He saw a red cap come through the door. Snake jumped up. Almost tripping over Roy, who was also trying to get up. Ness and Lucas eyes widened as they felt a sharp slap hit them across the face. Every ones jaw dropped. Ness and Lucas held their now red, burning cheeks. No one could believe it. Their father never hit them. Not even when they paint balled the school. Lucas tried to stop the tears from falling but it failed. Ness bit his lip to not cry. "Where. Were. You. Two?" Snake demanded. Ness looked down. "Look at me." Snake strongly said. Lucas looked at his beyond piised father, to his peeping tom brothers, to Ness. He looked back At Snake. "Warehouse D, in the next town over." Lucas said. Ness closed his eyes. His brother ratted him out. He opened them and looked up. "Why?"their father asked. He was trying to stay calm. TRYING! Lucas shrugged, So Snake looked over to Ness. "I needed to think." He said after a couple of seconds. Snake was ready to pass out. "You could of called." Snake said. Ness was not happy and his face showed it. "We were all worried. Ike got worried sick. I need to now take him to the doctors but he wanted to wait to see if you guys were okay. He should be going through this." Snake said with a dangerously low voice to prove he was serious. It was quite for a minute. "Everyone was out late looking for you two. I came home only to find my to little boy ran away and now everyone else was looking for them. Late. On a school night. " he said calming down a little. Snake took a deep breath. "I was scared." Ness looked back down so he wouldn't have to see his father disapproving face. "To your room, NOW!" he said turning back to his other children.

Snake looked at the other kids. HE rubbed his temples. "Marth you are coming with me to the doctors. Roy you're in charge." He said helping Ike to his feet. Marth handed Acid to Roy, who nodded.

(I am so tired of typing. 9 pages all in one night… 12:40 a.m. right now… Midnight snack! XP)

Snake and Marth were in the room with Ike was he had his I.V. in and fast asleep. "I should of took him here when I first found him" snake said rubbing his face with his hand. Marth sighed. "You were stressed and in pain. Besides the doctors said you did good he was going to be fine." Marth said pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket. Marth unfolded it and handed it to his father. Snake yawned and took it. He hasn't slept in two days. Snake smiled as he looked at the piece of paper with Acids drawing. "He wanted me to give it to you." Marth said smiling. "It's good to know I won't be put in to a nursing home." He said nodding in and out of sleep. Marth chuckled. "We didn't say that. Don't sleep. I'll wake you when the doctor arrives." Snake took the advice and lean against the wall and slept.

An hour and two I.V. bags later, they were allowed to go home. Both Ike and Snake looked worn out. "Are you mad?" Ike asked walking next to his father. Snake ruffled Ike hair. "No, im proud." He said pulling Marth along with them. "How? You asked for one thing. I couldn't even do it." Ike said stopping and removing Snakes hand. Snake sighed. "Ike I left you and marth in charge. Now, im not blaming Marth either. I know thing can go wrong in a matter of seconds. Things don't go according to paln. I mean I do have eight kids." Snake said to lighten the mood. Ike and Marth chuckled. "We all had no clue what Ness and Lucas were going to do. We never do. That just them being them… in a more extreme, and annoying way. You can't always know everything about the people you love." Snake said patting both Ikes and Marths heads. Snake smirked. "Now Marth." Snake said as MArth looked up with a confused face. "Don't end up like a siisy like you brother here." Snake said walking forward. Marth chuckled and Ikes jaw dropped. "I AM NOT A SISSY!" he yelled.

Snake sent Ike and Marth to bed. Marth was up all night and Ike needed rest. "Roy are you tired?" Snake asked looking at Link and Pit who were watching t.v. with Acid. Roy shook his head. Snake sighed. "Not you too…" Snake said. Roy raised an eye brow. "It's not your fault." He said. Roy nodded. "Are you disappointed in us." "Only if your Ness or Lucas."

Snake scratched his neck and rubbed it. He knocked on Ness and Lucas door. Lucas answered. "Dad, please don't be too mad." He said. Snake gentle pushed him into the room. Ness didn't even look up. "Are you mad?" Ness asked. Snake sat on Lucas bed. "Im not pissed but VERY disappointed. You guys do crazy things all the time but running away? What were you think?" he asked. Ness huddled on his bed. "I wanted to be alone. Lucas begged to come and I can't refuse him. I was going to be back the next day!" Ness said to defend himself. "I was mad that you were mad at me." He finished. Snake really hated this confining stuff. "I want mad. Slightly Annoyed." Snake said "Now im disappointed." Ness and Lucas looked at each other. "I'm sorry." They both said. "Both are grounded and I wish I could spank you but I already hit you earlier. Wish you both deserved. No funny stuff for two week you hear me?" Snake asked standing up. They nodded. " Good."
