Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
- Winston Churchill

Zetsu began to think over their day. They ate had fun and ate again, they even bought him a white wrist band for his black half and a black wrist band for his white half. From what he observed they don't like to spend money, they don't like doing anything like this actually….so why?

"Sure." His black half wanted to know but do it sneakily so he asked first but that didn't stop the white half from asking. "Why are we going to the cemetary?"

"OH….right," Strom looked into Emeradles brown eyes "Can you explain please?"

"It's the annveriary of Storm's mother and Brothers passing," Her voice is so dull and with out emotion Zetsu almost didn't catch the slight shift of emotion in her eyes.

"Okay, sorry for asking, Don't be mean! I wasn't being mean!" The man stopped arguing with himself when he heard the blonde start to giggle and saw the red head's amused smiled.

"It's great you are a friend Sempia," Storm took his arm and started to lead him to the cemertary as Emeralde followed her and the biscolored man.

When they reached the graves Zetzu noticed the shacking of Storms shoulders. He truned to see a tear fall from her smooth cheek.

"I'm so sorry," She mummered to the grave as she fell to her knees and put the flowers on each grave. "I'm sorry," She repeated and whiped away one of her tears.

She stood up "Mom, Little bro, this is Zetsu. He is my new firend!" She smiled through her tears and looked at Zetsu then Emeradle. "Let's chill at my place. Dad wont be back till late so we can hide Zetsu." She looked at the half black half white man "Do you want to stay over?"

"sure, sounds like fun, thank you" He smiled at the blonde haired girl and the red head.

Storm ran ahead as Emeradle stayed back and talked to Zetsu.

"Don't tell anyone," she told him quiet enough that Storm couldn't hear.

"I wont," He understood what she ment.

"Hey guys!" Storm scremed to them and waved them over. "I may have failed this time, but next time I wont cry!" she declared with a happy voice and a victory punch to the air, like a complete idiot.

The three friends laughed at her excitement. "Of course you won't!" The other girl yelled at the blonde.

Storm entered the house and looked around cautiously with only her head in the door looking side to side. When she determined the coast clear they all went upstairs to her room and lay on her bed laughing.

"We are such ninjas," Emerald told them with a smile.

Zetzu raised an eyebrow and Storm sat up rubbing her hands together like a greedy person.

"Hand it over, I want first sip", Storm's blue eye sparkled as she said these words.

"What do yo-" Zetzu was cut off as he saw a bottle being handed to Storm. Not just any bottle now, but Vodka and whisky! Yeah I know they're underage but it's more fun like this.

Storm took a small swig of it, and then looked to Zetsu "We aren't looking to get drunk, just feel the warmth it brings. You don't have to drink any if ya don't want to."

Zetzu took the Vodka bottle and took a sip then handed it to Emerald "Never took you as the kind to drink"; His deeper more husky voice chuckled at the two.

"We do a lot of things you wouldn't expect us to do", Emerald's deep brown eyes looked at Zetzu through the side of her red bangs, like a total BA. (Bad Ass)

"Mm, yeah," Storm's blue eyes filled with an emotion Zetsu couldn't pin point "I like to burn things, and I'm such a trouble maker sometimes. I don't mean to be the way I am…this is just how I am," She shrugged and looked away, outside the window next to her bed, then back again with a soft smile.

"I really have a lot of hate and emotions and do express them but I keep them under control, plus we can both be such pervs." Emerald winked at the half colored man "We're not as innocent as we let people believe." This comment elicited a smirk from storm who sat beside Emerald

Zetsu laughed at them "We are more gentle then we look, but we can be fun," Zetsu winked back and they all fell over with laughter. "What exactly do you do during these times?" Zetsu finally asked.

The red head spoke up "Different things. Share secrets, tell our fears and hopes. Something knew that happened that the other doesn't know about," Brown eyes closed away from the world in thought.

"It's fun and sad and sometimes really serious," Blue eyes shown with all the excitement that could be heard in the words that fell off the blondes tongue.

Zetsu looked to ceiling "My fear is of being alone," He told them.

Storm's voice is soft as she speak, filled with something like fear and sadness, yet still trying to be happy. So forced, yet so clear. "I'm scared of needles and being used. That no one will ever see what is standing right in front of them."

"I don't like needles or the Dark," The red head shrugged as if her fears were nothing.

For Fears are nothing but obstacles we must overcome to make ourselves stronger, at least that's what she believes.

Storm jumps on Zetzu "We made an accomplishment this year," she declared "We now have our new friend! For that we must be thankful." The happy girl yelled.

"For now we have another to walk along side us, and help us be strong." The red head seem to recite this as if it was practiced "And someone to trust in, a new friend that is now close to our hearts."

"That's the weirdest thing I have ever heard, I think it is sweet," Zetsu started to argue with himself.

Now that you can truly see Zetsu for himself, you can see that he is a very scary looking man with an even scary personality and habits, yet he is also very gentle and kind.

Personality is how you look at a person, they can be different on the inside then they show to the rest of the world. What someone considers mean you may consider nice, everything is two sided, just like Zetsu, you have to look to see both sides and think to understand them. To see things for what they truly are you have to see both, if you don't then you have closed your mind to seeing only that one side and you will never see change in a person or thing.

The two girls laughed at their newly found friend, only to stop when a loud noise was heard. "Hurry hide!" Storm whispered/yelled at her friends.

Emerald went under the bed and Zetzu in the closet. When they were well hidden a knock at the door came signifying that her father was now back and inside the house.

"Hi, dad" Storm smiled as she opened the door to a man with dark bags under his eyes, he looked extremely tiered.

"Stop smiling, don't you know what today is girl? Or did you stop caring", he growled at the blonde.

"Nope, I'm moving on with a smile!" she said as her smile starched wider then her face, thou her eyes clouded over to a dull blue, and threw her hands in the air.

Her father sniffed the air "More like drunk", his face turned into one of disgust as he said this to her. "Stay in your room tonight", he pushed her into her room making her fall to the ground, and then he closed the door in her face with a few mutters of being useless. Obviously he didn't care about his daughters feelings, or how she would react to this, but most importantly he would never expect the two who have witnessed it.

The red hair girl with deep brown eyes came out first. "You okay," came her concerned quite voice, as if she was talking to a scared, dangers animal.

Next came the green haired boy with golden eyes "What the hell was that about?" He questioned with both voices mixing into a strange yet enchanting sympathy.

"Nothing and I'm fine Emerald," as Storm said this tho she crawled to the alcohol and took s deep drink of its burning, yet numbing powers of forgetfulness. It was a horrible thing, of how much it could help a person who wants nothing more than to stop thinking of everything that's gone wrong in their life or who just wants their feelings to be better seen without saying anything. A terrible thing indeed, to be brought to such lows as this one, to forget what the pain, just a plain old drunk.

Zetsu took the bottle from her and took a long drink from it. "Over drinking isn't good", he told her lightly "idiot". Trying to lighten the mood, but failing.

"Your dad is the same as always," Emerald said dully, so not to dig into her friends emotional wounds and make them bleed more.

"You need more emotions" Storm said pointing to her then they both smiled and laughed. Soon Zetsu was laughing as well at the joke he didn't fully understand. He didn't know why but a look at those two laughing like that made him want to laugh too.

"Want to borrow some of ours?" this was awarded with another round of laughter.

"No thank you, you can keep your emotions." Emerald got out thru her soft giggles

"It's getting late, we can leave if you want," Zetsu told his new friends after about an hour or two, it was now currently 2 in the morning.

"Nah, you can stay if ya want," Storm told him with a shrug. She left to her drawers and pulled out the bottom left hand corner. "Here," She told him and threw him baggy shorts and a larger t-shirt. He then proceed to lock himself in the closet to change, much to the amusement of the two giggling girls.

"Remember we're perverts, you can change in front of us!" storm called out laughing; the smirk could be heard in her voice.

"No thank you. I won't give you that kind of pleasure." This comment caused everyone to laugh.

Zetsu finally came out, with a shocked expression on his face.

"They fit, what the hell" Zetsu was surprised that the shorts fit.

"My aunt thinks I'm fat teenage boy," Storm shrugged with a non-caring expression.

"Why," Zetsu asked with a rough voice.

A small voice with deep brown eyes answered him, "Because she told her that she was."

A loud voice with spunk came after "Yep, that way I have something for my friends if they are bigger than Me." blue eyes lit up with humor.

"That's weird," the green haired man told the blonde girl then went and laid on the bed with his hands behind his head getting comfortable enough to sleep. Oh but it wouldn't last for long, sadly for this poor boy.

"Yep," Emerald agreed then went and laid next to him putting her head on his shoulder. He looked down at her weirdly with a raised eyebrow on his black half. Questioning her actions without a word.

"I agree, today was rough" Storm turned out the lights. Next thing you can hear is a "humph," as Blondie ran and jumped on the two. They all laughed

"I didn't hurt you did I Sempia?" she asked in an amused yet innocent voice.

"No, you're a punk" they all laughed again. Storm left her head on Zetsu as she slid to the side that Emerald wasn't on.

They both cuddled up to the tall discolored man, he was very warm. "Night guys, sweet dream," They all had their turns saying good night,

"Night you two," Zetsu's voices mixed, and that's all the two need to fall asleep on top of their new friend.

_SNAEK TIME!_

What the three friends woke up to wasn't what you would call pleasant "What the hell is going on here," A deep voice yelled making all three people in the bed jump out of their skin.

"D-Dad," Storm stuttered, her blonde hair in a mess and sleep clothes all wrinkly.

"Hello Mister," Emerald said not really caring about what was going on.

"Hi," Zetsu waved sheepishly "great", he told himself dully.

The man with brown hair and dull green eyes clinched his hands into tight fist and started walking towards them.

"Well thanks for having us over Storm," The red head started to back away from the door and closer to the window, Zetsu understood what was going on and walked over to the window as well in all his shirtless glory. Yeah, I know hot right?

This seemed to make the man even more mad seeing this shirtless stranger, let alone a boy, in the same bed as his daughter.

Before anyone knew what happened tho, the brown eyed girl opened the window and the oddly colored boy and herself where out the window and on the lawn below.

"Listen dad he is just a friend," Storm held up her somewhat pale hands in front of her slowly backed away to the window, where her freedom awaited her.

"Why was he in your bed, shirtless" he was trying to stay calm, but he took a mincing step forward, closer that scared the blue eyed girl a little. He isn't mean or abusive, but when he gets mad he forgets what he is doing.

"He doesn't like sleeping in a shirt," storm shrugged at that like it was nothing "And he came over to keep me company, hey at least his pants were on!" she informed him in a rush when he took another step closer.

"Did you do anything with him?" he was now accusing not asking. The blonde girl panicked and jumped out the window. Her father's hand missed her by a few inches and he was hanging out the window when she landed beside her friends.

"Come on let's go," she said to them and they all took off down the street with so much speed that they would have left a ninja crying in their dust.

After they were far away from the house they all stopped, out of breath, standing on the sidewalk. "What do we do now?" the red head asked looking at the other two beside her.

"I don't know, but I don't want to go home", Blue eyes filled with a little bit of fear as she looked at her friends.

"You have to go home sooner or later, I say later tho he looked pissed," Zetsu's dark half agreed, but the white half spoke truth.

"I'll go home, he is just really scary when he's mad." the blonde looked to the ground and kicked her feet a nothing.

"Let's go to my place, I need a shirt anyway" the green haired man started to walk away from the two girls who, after looking confused at each other for a few seconds, just shrugged and followed dumbly in step behind him.

Storm was now sitting in a small living room combing through her hair with her figures, Emerald sat beside her and rested her head on the arm of the couch.

Some clothes hit Storm in the face "Thanks", she blushed.

A little later she walked out of the bathroom hair clean looking and an orange tank top that fit really snug on her body, and green cargo pants held up with a brown military belt.

Storm slept in her cloths, so she is wearing faded blue jean and a black shirt. Zetsu is now wearing black jeans with white shirt that has a bleeding heart on it saying "love me or I'll eat you".

"How do these clothes fit me?" came Storm's loud (mocking) voice.

"There Tobi's, He'll be home soon, with the others", Zetsu shrugged after his statement.

"Is it okay that we are here then?" Emerald asked a little worried.

"Oh, it's no problem" he told her.

"Positive we want be in the way?" Strom raised an eyebrow at him.

"If you don't get in the way then you want be in the way," he told her a little annoyed.

"Well that's a no duh statement," Storm deadpan, which earned a smirk from the man in front of her.

"So now what?" Emerald asked.

Zetsu started to move around and got a X-box 360 out with a few racing game, he also brought some can coke and bottle of waters in the living room and they all three started to play and have a good time.

Then after an hour of awesomeness there was a knock at the door "Zetsu-kun Tobi is here, and I brought out friends!" came a loud and hyperactive voice.

"Let us the hell in you little fucker!" came a more annoying and colorful voice.

"Come in," Zetsu yelled at them.

The next thing that happened was a complete surprise to everyone.
