Jash: YOU DAMN BLONDE! GIVE ME BACK MY ARM DAMN YOU!
Kama: *tosses arm up in the air and Yahiko catches it* Don't got it no more un!

Jash: AUGH! YAHIKO!

Yahiko: AHAHAHA! HELL NO!

What happened this time boys?

Scorp: Jash was being an idiot. Nothing new.

Ok then. Scorpling, since the others seem to be busy, you do the disclaimer.

Scorp: Kari-nee doesn't own Naruto or anything else previously owned.

I just own the little chibis! :D

Chapter 3: Alone at Home

"So promise me you won't kill or maim them." Said Sasori with a stern look. Kama and Scorpling looked down at their red headed father from Scorpling's top bunk with twin smiles, "We promise!" Sasori smiled back at them. "I know that Jash might be…probably not might, is hard to be patient with. I was never patient with Hidan myself…but I really don't want to start a fight with Hidan ok?" he ruffled both of his son's hair, "We'll be back in approximately seven hours. Behave, remember the rules, and do not let me find this house in ruin unless you have an ACCEPTABLE excuse. Understand?"

"Of course we understand daddy. You don't need to worry." Said Scorpling. Deidara laughed, "I know we can trust you two, it's the others I'm worried about un." he fixed his scope and kissed the boys on the head, "See you tonight. You know what to do in case of emergency un." Kama and Scorpling nodded as the two exited the room.

"So, seven hours." Said Kama. "Yup. Just us kids for seven hours…we need to find something to do if we're gonna follow daddy's rule of not maiming the others." "I thought you didn't hate Ita or Yahiko un…" "Oh, Ita is cool, doesn't bother us. Yahiko is all right when he wants to be…the one I'm talking about is Jash. He offends me." Kama nodded, "Hmm….Danna said we couldn't MAIM anyone…he never said we couldn't blow them up un."

A smirk spread across Scorpling's face. After a minute he frowned and sighed, "But we can't do that. We don't wanna disappoint Daddy and Deidei…" Kama frowned, "You're right…" he sighed, "Well, let's just see what we can do un." Scorpling nodded at his older brother as the two wandered into the hall…

~Ten Minutes Later~

"BORED!" yelled Jash as he lay on the floor. Kama was sitting in the bean bag chair, a pout on his face as he tried to think of something to keep him occupied. Something that didn't involve blowing Jash into a million pieces. Scorpling sighed and tossed his book aside, having finished the literature and now wondering what could be a new form of entertainment. He and Kama had to wait for Sasori to have time to help them with the weapon fitting on their puppet and there was no more work to be done on it. Boring. This was boring.

Scorpling looked at Ita. The raven was glaring at the T.V. screen. As if that would make an interesting show come on. Yahiko was sitting on the corner, looking up at the ceiling. And Jash was on the floor, looking as if he were counting the specks in said floor.

Ok, enough was enough. One of them had to take charge and find them something to do…or else they were gonna snap and destroy the place. Scorpling jumped off the couch. He walked over to Ita, grabbed the remote, and switched off the TV. "HEY! I was looking for something to watch on that!" exclaimed the young raven. Scorpling, ignoring what he said, walked to stand in front of the TV. "Ok, it's obvious we're all bored. The thing is, we need entertainment." "No shit midget." Stated Jash. Scorpling sent him a glare, "Ignoring that comment, Yahiko, you're a wanna be prince. Don't you have any video games?"

Once those words left the small redhead's mouth, the other four boys brightened. "Yeah wannabe prince!" said Kama, "You HAVE to have some un!" "I bet the fucker has been holding out on us!" yelled Jash. Ita smirked, "I bet he has all the systems in existence!" Yahiko grinned, "You'd win that bet Ita! Come on! I forgot that all my stuff is in the basement until the remodeling gets done!" Yahiko got to his feet and dashed to the hall, the others close behind.

They were all laughing and talking about their favorite games, when Scorpling happened to fall silent. Kama, always attentive to his little brother, turned. "What's wrong Patsukun?" Scorpling put a finger to his lips, a signal that he and Kama used often. "Hey guys, shut up a sec un." he muttered to the other boys. They all turned and looked at the brothers, wondering what the hell they were waiting for. Scorpling shut his eyes in concentration as he listened to the silence.

Jash, not being a patient child, growled, "What's the holdup midget?" Kama elbowed the small Jashinist in the ribs causing him to yelp and glare at him. Kama turned back to Scorpling, the small redhead opening his eyes. "We have company guys." He said. Kama nodded, "How many un?" "I heard ten different voices, but there could be more." Kama nodded, his eyes sparkling mischievously.

The other three boys just blinked at them in confusion. Ten? Visitors? The hell did that mean? "Are we gonna get the games or not?" asked Yahiko in frustration. He wanted to know just what was going on! Kama looked at him with serious brown eyes, "If you wanna walk right into a trap, then by all means open that door." "Trap?" asked Ita. Scorpling nodded, "There are a bunch of people downstairs. I heard some of them talking, and they know that we're alone." Ita, Yahiko, and Jash suddenly got nervous looks on their faces. "W-well, what do we do?" asked Jash.

Scorpling and Kama both rolled their eyes, "What do we do?" they mocked simultaneously, "We take them down!" "Take them DOWN?" asked Jash. "And how the hell do you expect five kids, none of us older than ten, to take down more than ten enemy ninja?" asked Ita, trying to sound brave but failing. Kama and Scorpling looked at each other. "Cowards." Said Kama. "We've taken on more than that." Added Scorpling, "All it takes is strategy." The other, older boys looked at them doubtfully.

"Fine, be that way." Said Scorpling. Kama nodded, "We'll handle this ourselves un." Kama and Scorpling headed down the hall to the room. Yahiko fidgeted a bit before following, deciding that it was safer with the psycho ones. Ita and Jash stayed in the hall, wondering whether it was wise to stay behind, when Ita heard a voice from the basement and dashed off after the others. "HEY! WAIT UP!" yelled Jash not wanting to be alone.

They entered the artist's room, finding Yahiko sitting on the bottom bunk of Kama's and Scorpling's bed. They looked to see the brothers crawling under their father's bed, searching. "What are you fucker's looking for?" asked Jash. Kama's voice reached his ears, "Hey, the other two cowards join the party!" Jash scowled at that, imagining all the ways he could sacrifice the brown eyed boy to Jashin. Of course he had promised Hidan that he wouldn't so all he could do was picture it.

Kama came out first, strapping a belt to his waist. The belt had a pouch on each side, both zipped shut. Kama pulled out a couple of daggers, another belt, and a backpack. "You ok down there Patsukun?" he asked, Scorpling revealing himself not a second later, "Yeah, just choosing our puppets wisely." Scorpling had a bag of scrolls in his hand along with a katana. Kama nodded, handing his younger brother the second belt.

He turned to Jash, "You sure you don't wanna help? Lots of people to sacrifice to Jashin un." Jash raised a brow at him, "Lots?" he asked. Kama nodded, "You shouldn't be afraid Jash. You're immortal." Jash put some thought into it. Why WAS he scared? If these little MORTAL kids were up to the challenge, then he sure as hell could fight too! "Hold up a second!" he said as he raced out the door. Scorpling looked at Ita, "And you, you're the son of Uchiha Itachi! You have the Sharingan! What are YOU scared of?" Ita looked down at his feet as Scorpling turned to Yahiko, "And you said it yourself Yahiko, you're the Leader's son. That means that in situations like this, YOU should be ready to fight!" Yahiko also averted his gaze, not wanting to admit that the younger boy was right.

Kama and Scorpling shrugged, "But if you're scared, you're scared, right?" and with that they slid the backpacks onto their backs, grabbed their blades, and walked out the door. The last thing Scorpling said to them as he walked out? "So much for being the Akatsuki's Kids."…

Jash caught up with the brothers in the hall, a scythe that was bigger than the small albino strapped to his back. Like Hidan's it was blood red, though, it only had two blades instead of three. He also had a long black blade clipped to his waist. "Well? What are we waiting for?" he asked. Kama and Scorpling giggled. "We were waiting for YOU stupid!" said Kama. Jash stuck his tongue out at the blonde, "Well I'm here, let's go!" The two other boys nodded as they turned to the door leading to the basement.

Scorpling opened the door slowly, seeing a faint light down the stairs. He turned to the other two, signaling Kama to wait as he went on. Kama nodded. Scorpling started down the stairs stealthily. Jash went to go after, but Kama held him back. The albino looked at the blonde, puzzled, but the look in Kama's eyes said to just trust the two brothers.

Scorpling concentrated, hiding his chakra and blending into the shadows.

He had been right, there were more than ten of them. He counted them all and saw that there were more that fifteen guys among the boxes and random stuff down here. He slipped behind one of the boxes, listening to the men intently.

"What does the Mizukage want with these brats again?" asked one that was looking at one of the boxes labeled Hidan's Shit: DO NOT TOUCH. Another ninja, sitting in the middle of the group, scoffed. "They're the kids of the infamous Akatsuki. Imagine what said Akatsuki would do to get them back?" Scorpling peeked over the box he had hidden behind, trying to get a good look at the enemy. Unfortunately, all of them had masks over their faces and bandanas covering their hair. They wore traditional shinobi uniforms and some had swords and large shuriken strapped to their backs. Scorpling took a step back to go and signal Kama and Jash to come down, bumping into something.

"Well, well, well, look at what we have here." Said a raspy voice behind Scorpling. The small red head felt a hand grab him by the back of his shirt, but made no struggle, observing them. "Captain, look who's saved us the trouble of catching him." Said the man, tossing Scorpling roughly to the ground in front of the man in the middle of the room. He looked down at Scorpling with eerie golden eyes. "Akasuna no Sasori's son. This makes you a little puppeteer. Heh, not as smart as your old man. He wouldn't have gotten caught…but you're what…five?"

Scorpling remained silent. His fathers had taught him well, the enemy never killed you if they wanted you to talk. Though he did glare at the golden eyed captain in annoyance. He had been too busy spying on him to notice the other idiot creeping up behind him. It was a mistake that any shinobi could make. He was just picking on him because he was a kid. The captain waited a minute, probably waiting for Scorpling to cry or something, but frowned when he got no such response. He grabbed Scorpling by the collar, bringing him up to eye-level. "Listen little one, your daddy ain't here to help you. You have nowhere to run. You've got no one to help. Ain't you scared?"

Scorpling blinked at him, taking on a bored expression. "No." he said, "To be honest, I'm not afraid of anything. You think I'm gonna cry just because my dad is on a mission and some stupid shinobi decide to attack the base in the mean time? I won't. You can't hurt me." The captain scowled at the boy, "Oh really?" he said as he pulled out a knife, "Because I'm sure I can." Scorpling looked at the knife indifferently, "Oh I'm so scared, you've got a knife!" He mocked. The golden eyed man heard some of his subordinates snickering and glowered at Scorpling, raising the knife and bringing it down to slice at the boy.

There was the sound of clashing metal seconds before the Captain grunted in pain. The other shinobi blinked, not understanding what had happened. Scorpling kicked the man in the stomach once more, forcing him to drop the boy, and landed on his feet, katana at the ready. The other ninja, realizing that they had underestimated the boy before them, began to pull out their weapons. "Remember, the Mizukage wants these brats alive!" gasped the captain as he got back to his feet, "So don't kill him, just make it that he can't fight back. Maybe cut off an arm and a leg."

They surrounded Scorpling, about to lunge at him.

And slammed into each other. The captain blinked before looking up to see the small red head hanging from the ceiling, banging on it three times. He then looked down at the idiots before him as more started to come from the back of the basement.

Kama and Jash needed to get down here. Now.

Finally responding to the signal, Kama dashed through a bunch of the enemy, slashing through some of their chests. He landed under Scorpling and the younger boy dropped down and landed next to him. The captain looked Kama up and down, "Katsu Deidara's kid. A bomb expert then." Scorpling rolled his eyes. He was making assumptions due to what they looked like…then again, it wasn't every day that two men had kids. Scorpling saw a shadow moving above them and Jash jumped at one of the guys, digging his scythe into his head, "SAY HI TO JASHIN-SAMA FOR ME!" he yelled with a grin. Scorpling and Kama sweat-dropped. Well at least they knew he wasn't scared any more.

The captain frowned, "I want them alive, but don't underestimate them. Don't hold back just because they're children!" "Yes Captain!" The men all lunged at the three boys, attacking them relentlessly. Kama and Scorpling dodged, fighting as best they could as Jash slashed at the enemy mindlessly. Kama and Scorpling glanced at each other, both thinking the same thing.

There were too many of them. They needed help.

As if reading their thoughts, a voice rang. "Katon: Gokakyuu no Jutsu!" Flames consumed the man to Kama's left. Scorpling smirked as Ita dropped down on one of the other men, kicking his face so hard that he cracked his neck. Ita landed next to the brothers, "You know something…that was kind of liberating." He muttered. Kama and Scorpling snickered as Yahiko punched someone in the face. Jash laughed. "Look who joined the party!" Kama glanced at Scorpling, the younger giving a nod as he reached into his bag and pulled out a scroll.

The Captain took notice and yelled, "DO NOT LET HIM SUMMON THAT PUPPET!" a couple of ninja lunged at the red head, swords at the ready. Scorpling just tossed the scroll into the air and jumped back, digging his hands into the pouches strapped around his waist. These guys didn't want him to use puppets? Fine. Kama tossed his daggers at a man headed his way. He saw the scroll and used chakra strings to open it. There was a cloud of smoke and Kama stood behind a puppet of a silver haired female. Her hair reached her mid-back and she held a large, blue diamond blade. "Oh, nice choice Patsukun!" complimented the blonde with a smirk. The captain laughed, "As if the son of Deidara can actually fight with a puppet?" he mocked, "It's cute that you want to try new things, but face it, you can't."

Kama glared at him, "Wanna bet?" he growled as he started to move the puppet gracefully, the diamond sword slicing through the enemies. Ita leaped off of the man he had been punching as Jash drove his blade through said man. They looked over to see Yahiko kick one ninja into another, the second one's shuriken going through the first one's chest. The three had cuts and some bruises on them, but they smirked at each other. "This is easy!" said Yahiko. Ita nodded in agreement as Jash laughed. "OOFF!" Kama landed in front of them, "YOU ASS!" yelled the blonde as he moved his arms and made the puppet slice off a dude's head. "TAKE THAT BITCH UN!" The others laughed at their friend's actions as a shadow loomed behind them.

The captain kicked Kama in the face, sending him into a stack of boxes. The other three gulped as they saw the pure hatred in the captain's eyes. He brought up his blade, about to slice one of the frightened boys up when-

"HEY! OVER HERE!" He turned to see Scorpling a few feet away, a smirk on his face. "What you little demon? You can't get a puppet fast enough to save your friends!" reasoned the captain. "True. But that's not all I can do."

Scorpling brought his hands up into a seal that the captain had seen in countless pictures of a certain blonde Akatsuki. "Impossible." He breathed. "Katsu."

There was a flash of light and Yahiko, Jash, and Ita brought their arms up to shield them from the heat as the loud boom of the explosion rang through the air. As the light faded, Ita lowered his arms, looking at the mess of mangled bodies everywhere in the now even messier basement. He turned to see Scorpling pushing boxes off of his older brother, Kama muttering under his breath. The three ran over to them. "You ok Kama?" asked Yahiko. "Yeah fucker, you'd better be too! I'm the only one that gets to kick your ass!" whined Jash. Ita held his hand out to the blonde who took it. "Thanks guys. He caught me off guard un." Kama said with a pout. The other boys laughed before Ita and Yahiko fell silent, looking around once more.

"Don't feel bad." Said Scorpling, "It was either them or us." The older boys looked down at the five year old. Like the rest of them, he had a few cuts and bruises, but also like the rest of them, none of them were serious. To think that a group of five children could defeat a group of about twenty ninja. Yahiko's eyes fell on a box. "HEY! MY GAMES!" he exclaimed with a grin.

And suddenly, the fight was forgotten…

~That night~

Pein and Konan were the first to make it back. They sighed in relief as they saw the apartment still in tack. They walked down the hall. "Well, everything seems to be in order." Noted Pein. Konan laughed, "Of course. Those boys aren't mindless beasts. They know what they can and cannot do." Pein nodded, "You're right. They are smart enough…"

They turned into the T.V. room and blinked. Kama and Yahiko were playing Guitar Hero, Ita and Jash watching from the couch. Scorpling was watching from the floor, leaning back into Aku. The shark seemed very comfortable with the boy. Pein cleared his throat and all five boys turned to him. "DAD! MOM! HI!" exclaimed Yahiko as he paused the game and ran over to them. Konan hugged her son, "Hello sweetie!" she said, Pein asking, "When did you go to the basement?"

"We went a little after you left…um…it's kind of a mess down there." Explained the ten year old auburn haired boy. "A mess?" asked Konan. Scorpling giggled, "Though, it'll be a nice gift for Zetsu!" he said. Konan and Pein looked at each other for a minute before walking to the basement.

Scorpling and Kama snickered, "Three…two…one." They said simultaneously. "OH MY GOD!" Konan came running back in, picking Yahiko up, "Are you boys all right?" She started checking Yahiko, freaking out at every cut and bruise. "MOM!" whined Yahiko as the other boys laughed. Sasori and Deidara walked in. "What's all the commotion?" asked Sasori. "There was an attack while we were gone!" explained Konan.

The artistic duo looked at Kama and Scorpling, "You didn't leave any of them tied up did you?" asked Deidara. "Nope. They're dead." Said Scorpling. Deidara nodded, "All right then. What's the problem?" "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?" shrieked Konan. Sasori sweat dropped. "Well, to be honest, I'm more worried about the men that attacked. Kama and Scorpling can handle their own. And with the other boys, I'm pretty sure there wasn't any question who was going to come out alive." Konan looked at them as if they were crazy. Scorpling yawned and walked over to Sasori, "I'm sleepy daddy." He said. Sasori smiled and picked him up, "I'm sure you are. Come on." He said as he carried the small boy out. Kama and Jash started playing again as Ita watched, Aku making himself comfortable next to the young raven. Konan couldn't believe how casually Sasori and Deidara had taken that…

These boys needed a babysitter…

(A/n) Haha! The boys kicked ass! XD. And next chappie, BABYSITTERS! I'm gonna have so much fun with that! R&R! Flames to be used to kill enemy ninja!
