Alright I am saying now that Tobi's jutsu is going to last a year but I need your help with something. I was thinking in one year everyone will turn into 12 year olds before they turn back into adults in the next. Do you like that idea or do you want them to become adults sooner?
~Third Person P.O.V~
Getting the babies home was a lot easier than April had first thought it would be. In the piles of trash she had found some clothes you'd expect some crazy, homeless lady would wear. Because April knew there was a good chance the cops would have this area closely watched by now, she through the clothes over her own, ignoring the spell.
Next April made the babies a fort by placing a cardboard box over top of the cart. She couldn't risk people seeing a homeless old woman -which she looked like in the clothes- rolling a cart of eleven babies, more than half of them which had something wrong with them, down the street. She then covered the box with random, light, things she found around the ally on the box to make herself look like a trash collector.
Unlike what April had wanted, the babies had cried all the way home. Although, to her luck, everyone that passed her would ignore it; actually it was most likely they were avoiding the creepy old lady that smelt of garbage. It was actually convenient for April as no one would stop her to see why crying babies were in the cart she was pushing. The only rough spot she got herself in was when a man's dog growled at the cart. The man quickly pulled his dog away without any apology to April.
"Amaya, I'm back!" April shouted as she pushed the dirty, ally cart into the living room of her home. A girl about April's her age appeared out of the hall as she entered the living room.
Amaya Aneimori was a couple months older than April thar she took in a month ago. She, like April, was a thief that ran away but, instead of running away from her foster family, Amaya ran away from the orphanage when she was eleven. When April found her, she had taken pity on Amaya and let her move in with her. April kept her bedroom upstairs but Amaya took one of the bedrooms downstairs.
"What's up? What's with the cart and why is it crying?" Amaya asked as she eyed the cart. April only smiled as she began pulling everything out of the cart, soon reviling the eleven babies and shocking the slightly older girl.
"Where the hell did you find eleven babies and what the hell happened to them?" Amaya shouted and grabbed the baby that was closest to her; which happened to he Kakuzu. The little infant looked up at the new woman and his odd colored eyes began to sprout tears of fear
~Amaya's P.O.V~
Who in living god would hurt a baby like this? I mean there was stitches everywhere on his body. There was X shaped stitches on his back. (1) There were stitches at the corner of his mouth, stitches on his arms and legs, stitches on his chest. Not to mention this baby was so thin I can see his ribs; I'm surprised this child is still alive.
The infant's eyes was another odd thing. At first I thought that his eyes must have bled since his sclera was blood red but his iris and pupil was a green color. I had no idea how that could even happen; it was much too odd. Could the boy even see properly?
"I found them in an ally when I hid from a cop that chanced me. The one thing they seem to have in common is they all have necklaces with names on them." Ashlen told me and I looked closer at the boy I held. I noticed that she was right; the boy's heart necklace did have a name on it.
"Kakuzu. Weird... this boy is Japanese." I mumbled before I gently wiped some lose tears off his face. I heard April walk up beside me with a baby in her arms.
"The name is Japanese? Well that explains the weirdness of them and why they are hard to pronounce." April said as she placed the baby, which turned out to be female, on the ground. "Help me unload the babies from the cart." she said as she reached in for another baby, pulling out a dark haired, giggling baby. I nodded as I placed Kakuzu down before going to get another baby.
~April's P.O.V~
It took Amaya and me about five minutes to unload all of the babies. It would have gone a bit faster if some of the babies didn't fight when we tried to put them down. Also the boy Hidan had screamed at me and tried hitting me when I pulled him out of the cart. He really doesn't like mebut I hope it got better throughout time.
"Well now what do we do? We don't have any food or clothes to give them." Amaya said while she looked down at the babies. Some of them started to crawl around, others sat there and cried while the rest just looked up at us.
"Actually we do. We can bend some fruit with the magic built and feed them that. They seem to be old enough to eat that kind of stuff." I said as I bent to pick up the baby with the tattoo on his chest. His body was a bit warmer than it was earlier but it was probably because the heater was on.
"I guess that will work but all we have is a few bananas, apples, grapes, kiwi and one orange left. Is that enough to feed eleven babies?" Amaya asked and I frowned. I didn't know if that would be enough for the amount of babies that we had; I had no idea how much they'd eat at one time.
"I guess we will have to go shopping for more fruit or baby food tomorrow. What we have should be enough for today. Come on, help me take them to the kitchen." I said as I was already carrying Deidara to the kitchen with me. Amaya was carrying Sassore, or Sasori as I was told it was pronounced, in her arm.
I wasn't really surprised when the Itachi infant walked after us as he had proved to have intelligence back in the ally. What surprised me was that the every baby except Hidan, Nagato and Konan (2) crawled after us. I didn't know if they didn't know how to crawl or if they were just being stubborn but I didn't mind going back for them but I think I'll have Amaya carry Hidan.
~Third Person P.O.V~
It only took the two girls a minute to collect the other three babies. Like April had thought she had made Amaya carry Hidan while she took the other two. Although Hidan gave Amaya as much trouble as he did for her so it didn't make much of a difference for who carried him.
"Alright, you keep an eye on the babies, make sure they don't wander into the cupboards and I will blend the fruit. I think banana's will be good for now." April told her roommate as she wondered over to the fruit bowl, already grabbing three bananas before walking over to the magic built to blend them. Amaya rolled her eyes but she sat leg crossed on the ground in front of the babies.
Now that she had the time, Amaya was able to study the rest of the babies and their looks. Now that she got a closer look at them all, Amaya saw that most of them ever very odd babies. In her mind she put the babies into three categories; the abused looking, the plain odd looking and the normal looking babies.
Itachi, Sasori, Konan, Hidan and Nagato were the only ones that didn't have anything odd about them and didn't look abused; besides the starved part. Kakuzu, Deidara and Tobi seemed to be the most abused out of the eleven. Kakuzu had stitches everywhere, Deidara had a tattoo on his chest and Tobi seemed blind out of one eye -but that could also been out of birth-. The other three, Kisame, Zit and Sue (3) were the odd looking babies.
Kisame had blue skin and some black markings; Amaya had even thought he may have been dying if it wasn't for his warm skin. The other two babies didn't just have odd colored skin but hair and eyes as well. One baby had ghost white skin with grass green hair and gold colored eyes. The other baby looked exactly the same except for his nightmare black skin. Other than that the two babies could be twins.
"How is that fruit coming?" Amaya asked from her spot on the ground without looking up at the other girl. She made eye contact with Tobi and let out a small smile as he started to giggle.
"I'm already filling the mush into the small tin bowls. There are some baby spoons in the drawer beside the fridge." April replied as she used a spatula to get as much banana much as she could. Amaya looked away from the babies to walk to that same drawer.
"Why do you own baby spoons? I thought you said the elderly couple never had and kids." Amaya stated as she dug through the drawer and found purple and green baby spoons. April put the magic boilt part in the sink to wash it out as she turned to face the other girl.
"They didn't but I was told that they babysat their friend's kids when they had been younger. It seemed convenient to just keep some baby stuff here... which reminds me there might be some diapers around." April shrugged slightly as she yanked the green spoon from Amaya's grip, grabbed a bowl of banana much and sat on the floor. Amaya followed April's example.
~April's P.O.V/time skip~
Well, feeding the babies took a lot longer than I had hoped it would. As I expected all off the babies had been starving and some had eaten so fast that they had chocked; which we took care of of course. A few of the children, such as Itachi, Hidan and Kisame, also fed themselves just by using their hands. although it resulted in food everywhere thanks to Kisame and Hidan; Itachi was a much neater eater out of the three of them.
"Wow, I know babies can make a mess but this will take hours to clean." I sighed as I laid on my back on a patch of clean floor. I saw that Amaya was picking up the blue skinned baby with a slight smirk on her house.
"How about you clean the room and I give the babies baths?" She asked with a sly smirk as she held Deidara and Sasori in her arms. No doubt she'd stick me with the cleaning; well it's not going to work.
"Nice try, Amaya but we'll give the babies baths together, find the diapers, make beds in the spare bedroom and then we'll clean up this mess together." I smirked back as I stood up from my spot and picked up Nagato and Konan. Amaya only rolled her eyes as she left the room and I followed her.
"Whatever. Lets just get all of this over with. Who knows how long this is going to take. We still need to find the diapers, make them beds and make ourselves something to eat. Really, I can't believe someone would just dump eleven babies in an ally. The poor things ate like it was their first meal." Amaya was more or less talking to herself than she was to me but I just let her continue on. I felt like complaining to someone when I first found them; I felt like blaming someone.
"Come on babies, just follow us to have a bath." I turned to look behind me and called out to the others. I saw most looked confused, as if they didn't understand me, but they instantly began to crawl once Itachi took the lead by walking after us.
The only one not crawling again was Hidan and he was screaming his little head off. I think he didn't like the fact that everyone was leaving him. I guess I will be the one to get him once I put Nagato and Konan down; Amaya wont do it again, I'm sure of it. Well I guess it's only fair and I really didn't mind; I just wished he didn't fight so hard.
"Start the water, I'll go get Mr. Cranky." Amaya said and got me to smirk. I guess I shouldhave guess she would got get Hidan; she has a big soft spot for kids.
"Alright, but be careful or you might need a bath as well." I laughed jokingly... sort of. Hidan had been that much of a messy eater.
As Amaya left the room I sat on my knees and started up the warm water. Itachi came up beside me and held onto the railing and I noticed he was looking at the water longingly. I chuckled and patted his head before I picked him up and put in him the tube. As he sat down, looking at me, the water was up to his belly button. Since I thought it should be no deeper than that I reached over and turned off the water.
"Hey, Amaya, bring a cup while you bring in Hidan." I shouted with a glance over my shoulder. I heard a k as a reply and I turned back to the other babies and Itachi in the tub.
I chuckled as Itachi began staring at the water and splashing a little. It was cute and it more cute as a few of the others babies started to whine and cry. Amaya came back into the bathroom with Hidan as I was putting Kisame in the water. He began giggling and splashing much harder than Itachi; so hard it made me, the other babies and Itachi even wetter. I laughed as Itachi's eyes seemed to narrow before he got into a fighting splash with Kisame.
"Aw, that is cute." Amaya smiled, which was something I didn't see much of. I nodded in agreement as she placed Hidan on the ground next to Kakuzu.
"Yeah, they are... HEY!" I shouted as I noticed that Hidan and Kakuzu started fighting with each other. I rushed away from the bathtub to grab Kakuzu to pull him away from the other baby that continued to kick, hit and scream.
"Well damn, I think we need to keep those two separated." Amaya commented and I saw she was holding the struggling Hidan. I nodded in agreement as I added Kakuzu in the water with the other two; who seemed to have stopped their splash fight.
"No kidding. Damn, I haven't seen Hidan that mean to the other babies. Maybe we should teach him to be nice." I said and sat on my knees as I used the cup to wet down the babies hair. We had no baby shampoo right now and I don't think we should risk using other shampoo so they had to bare without it for now.
"I'll go get some towels and a cloth." Amaya said as she walked out of the room to get the towels and the cloth. I just stayed where I was and continued to bath the three babies
~Time Skip~ (4)
Well bathing the children was easier than feeding them and it was a bit fun. The only one that splashed harder than Kisame was Tobi... really, he made such a mess, a small flood now covered the bathroom floor. It was easier to clean then the banana mess, although, which I did while Amaya was bathing a couple of the babies.
Right now both Amaya and I were in the spare bedroom, making two beds out of thick blanks before using bed sheets to wrap the children up. We were lucky and I had found the diapers while Amaya had been giving the last baby it's bath. I felt even more lucky that some of my foster siblings had been babies; so I knew how to take care of them properly.
"All the babies are out like candle lights. Poor things." I whispered while I tucked away Deidara, the last baby to be put to sleep. I saw Amaya standing by the door, just watching as I slowly stood up and walked past her to leave the room.
"I'm going to sleep in here tonight, April. You should as well. We need to be around in case they wake up hungry or need a diaper change... I don't know how to change diapers." Amaya said and I watched her make her way to the empty bed. I nodded my head and turned back around.
"I think so as well. I am just going to get my blanket and pillows." I said before making my way to my room before she could reply. Once in my room, I grabbed two of my pillows and my thin blanket; as it was a little too warm to sleep with a thick blanket.
Once I got all that I needed I went back to the room the babies were sleeping in to see Amaya still sitting on the bed. I stuffing the other in my arm, I through Amaya the extra pillow I had brought with me and made my way over to the bed.
"You know, I think we are going to need a lot of help. Eleven babies are too much for us to handle." I whispered as I crawled to the far sighed of the bed before laying down. Amaya laid beside me as she placed her hands over her stomach. (5)
"I know but who can we trust to help us without getting reported." Amaya mumbled under her breath and I saw her staring up at the ceiling.
"Why not my foster cousin Jasper Lead? He is the only foster call family that I actually care about and I know he would help out. Also, there is Rianna Tahome, the girl that lives next door. She knows I live her and has for a long time. She has never reported me to the cops so she'd be trust worthy." I pointed out two people. I saw Amaya look at me with this calm look.
"Alright, I'll trust your judgment. Good night, April." Amaya mumbled as she turned her back on me. I smiled as I turned on my own side and allowed myself to sleep until the would wake us up.
(1) The masks are gone; he only has 1 heart right now. It's another side effect
(2) Hidan can't crawl yet, Nagato is too weak (as his adult body was very weak to begin with) and Konan is loyal to Nagato even as a baby
(3) I know it should be Zet su but it's going to be spelt zit since that is how it sounds like to me. When people talk to him (the Akatsuki, then it will be Zet)
(4) I was getting tried and my head started to hurt. I actually fell asleep for an hour :(
(5) No gay jokes. They are both 15 year old teenagers and there is nothing sexual about it. They are both in their clothes.
I also want you to know there will be 3 OCs but "I" asked them, they didn't ask me. I needed a father figure, I know have a aunt figure and I now have a sister figure. The main OC is the mother figure and she isn't my OC. My OC is named Ashlen
