Hey everyone sorry about the really late update, this was a chapter I put up about a week ago but I guess it didn't upload or something to that effect. So yeah sorry it's also kinda short, there's a bit I still have to edit so the next chapter should be longer, and with that, onward to the fanfic!

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The room the girls had to share was dark, dreary and reminded each sister of a dungeon. Once Pein had left they all did their best to brighten the place up a little. Ayame replaced the grey comforter with a amethyst coloured blanket trimmed with gold and the plain white pillows were substituted for three of her own purple pillows that she used for traveling. Her sisters did the same, exchanging the comforters and pillows for their own traveling bedding. Katsuko's bed was now a lovely forest green trimmed with gold, and Maikaze's was navy blue with gold embellishment. As they were arranging the last of the of their toys-Ayame had three little stuffed cats set neatly on her pillows, Katsuko's toys consisted of a couple different coloured bears and Maikaze's many dolls all rested on the top half of the bed- when a quiet knock was heard at the door. Maikaze looked to her sisters, who both shrugged, before she went to open the door.

A red haired man stood in the doorway, holding three plates of food and looking very apathetic.

"Good evening, I've brought you something to eat." Maikaze smiled and took the plates from him, handing one to each of her sisters.

"Thank-you so much," she extended her hand, "I'm Maikaze by the way, and these are my sisters, Ayame and Katsuko." The redheaded man raised an eyebrow slightly but shook her hand anyway.

"Sasori." He said before turning away. Katsuko waved after him, mouth half full of food.

"Bye Sasori, thanks for the food." She called before settling back down to finish her meal.

"Mmm…food." Ayame and Maikaze laughed softly at their sibling then began to consume their own dinners.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

After eating the girls puttered around the room some more, fixing blankets, adjusting pillows, moving toys about before all three collapsed on their bed in a state of boredom.

"I feel dead, can we please go outside? This place is stifling." Whined Katsuko, as she tossed a teddy bear up into the air. Maikaze shook her head absentmindedly; she was now sewing a blue dress on to one of her dolls and though she didn't like being in the room, Maikaze was content to sit and sew.

"We can't," remarked Ayame, who was laying on her bed gazing at the ceiling, "not without and escort at least. And who's going to want to take us out? We know a total of three people here, not including father." Katsuko sat up, and placed the bear back on her pillow.

"Well, who do we know?"

"Hidan, Kakuzu and Sasori." Commented Maikaze, still sewing her doll, Katsuko stuck her tongue out at her twin and faced Ayame.

"What about Hidan?" Ayame shrugged.

"Maybe, we could go look for him," she suggested then called over her shoulder, "you coming Mai?"

"Yeah, sure." Placing the effigy amongst the cluster of her other dolls, Maikaze stood and followed her sisters out of the room.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The girls quickly found Hidan and after about half an hour of them following him around, begging for him to take them outside, did he finally relent. The sun shone bright and made dappled patterns on the ground. It was a pleasant day out and the girls laughed and chattered while Hidan, whose aggravation was growing, followed behind them. Their giggles grew louder and finally Hidan had had enough.

"Shut the fuck up! You haven't shut up since we left the fucking lair! Why the fuck did I let you talk me into taking you on a fucking walk?" he shouted and it surprised all three girls. Maikaze's eyes teared up a little, Katsuko started to laugh and Ayame's brows knitted together in a frown.

"Who the hell do you think you are? You didn't have to agree to take us on this 'fucking' walk, you ass." Replied Ayame, her voice soft.

"Aya?" both sisters trailed after their elder sibling as she stalked off.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

When the girls arrived back at their room, there were met by Pein, Sasori and two other men. Pein motioned for the sisters to sit, so they all sat on their respective beds.

"As I informed you earlier you are you train six days a week to increase your 'talents'." Pein began, eyeing each girl, waiting for any sort of complaint. When they all remained silent, eyes fixed on him, he continued.

"You must train without complaint; incompetence is not permitted in my organization. I will assign you each a teacher who will assist you in training." He waved a hand towards the three men standing on his right.

"Ayame your sensei will be Itachi, as you both use techniques that can damage the mind. Maikaze you will be paired with Sasori, since you mutually use puppets. And finally Katsuko you will be instructed by Deidara, considering both your experience in explosives." The girls nodded and rose from their seats, to shake their senseis' hands. Pein turned and headed towards the door, leaving Maikaze, Ayame, and Katsuko with their teachers. Each pair broke off, so their respective teachers could inform each girl of the nature of their training.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Ayame gazed at Itachi who was now currently situated beside her. She could hear her sisters chatting away behind them and she now wished her sensei was more talkative.

"Sooo…" she began, unsure of what to say, "What time am I meeting you tomorrow?

"Five." His answer was sharp and took Ayame a little by surprise.

"In the morning?" she frowned, "isn't that a little early?" Itachi raised an eyebrow slightly, but remained silent.

"I guess not then…" Ayame huffed in frustration. She hated talking to him, it was like trying to converse with a bloody wall.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Maikaze picked up the doll she had been sewing before Pein had arrived and began to stitch again. Sasori watched her for a little while before sitting beside her on the bed.

"So what time are we going to train tomorrow?" asked Maikaze without looking up.

"Five in the morning."

"I see… that's alright then. So you use dolls too?" she asked, now looking at him, though she was still sewing away. Sasori sighed a little.

"Not dolls, puppets. They're made of wood not cloth." Maikaze nodded and laughed faintly.

"Sorry. So how do you fight with them? I would think it might be the same way I control my dolls just on a larger scale but you never know…" Sasori nodded and began to explain the mechanics of puppet control.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Unlike her two sisters, Katsuko hit it off straight away with her sensei, though maybe not in the most positive way…

"What the hell do you mean I have to get up at five? Who gets up at bloody five o clock?" she was near shouting now, no one got her up before the sun rose and lived to tell about it.

"You don't need to keep yelling, it's not that early yeah." remarked Deidara who was currently laying on Katsuko's bed, pulling at one of her bears' head.

"Yes. It. Is! And why the hell are you on my bed? Get off! Now!" Katsuko was now ready to kill him, preferably with something explosive or pointy. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your point view, the three teachers had to leave. Each informing their student not to be late, before they left. When the senseis where gone Katsuko began storming about the room kicking at any thing that happened to be in her way. This included many of Maikaze's dolls, a bed and finally the wall.

"I hate him! I hope he asphyxiates in something fiery and pointy!" she growled as she pulled out her pajamas. Maikaze smiled over her shoulder at her twin.

"Kat, breathe, the world's a happy flower." Katsuko death-glared Maikaze until the elder twin chucked an effigy at her.

"You can asphyxiate with him."

"Love you too Kat." Ayame shook her head at her siblings' antics, as she pulled her long purple and black nightgown over her head.

"Alright girls, time for bed." She said, clapping to get their attention. All three girls climbed into their own beds, mentally preparing themselves for training tomorrow.
