"Hey, where's Amaterasu?" Takeo mumbled.

"Hn. Lets go look?" Aika suggested and Takeo nodded and they got up then ran to Deidara's and Sasori's room.

Aika softly knocked on the door. Sasori came to the door.

"Uncle Sasori? Do you know where Amaterasu is? I'm sorta worried, y'know? She's always so quiet…" Sasori nodded and let the two into his room. There sat Ryuu, Amaterasu, and Raiden playing on the floor.

"Oh! Amaterasu! There you are!" Aika ran to her fraternal triplet.

"Aika, how many times have I told you? Go. Away. Little brat." Amaterasu stated. Aika's heart clenched and tears stung her eyes. She ran off, shoving past Sasori, who had just watched the scene. Aika stumbled but caught herself from face planting and headed for the door, she had always wanted to leave this base, see the outside world.

She felt more tears fill her eyes. She bolted through the hallway and got three feet away from the door when Kakuzu's threads grabbed her middle and all four of her limbs, immobilizing her.

"Where do you think you're going?" Aika sniffed.

"Away… Well, I wanted to." Kakuzu walked up to her and let her go but quickly scooping her up before she was able to run off again.

"Can you talk?" Aika nodded.

"Well, Ama was playing with the boys ,she told me to go away and that she didn't want me around."

"Yes, that's right. I don't want you around, so stop trying , ya little freak. Don't call me 'Ama' again."

"How am I a freak? What do you know that I don't?"
