Normal POV: One Week Later: Shannon's POV

Konan-chan and Pein-sama still haven't returned from their mission and the guys are all wrestling in the living room together. I'm sitting on the couch watching them; they seem to be having fun. I should try out some new words in my vocabulary! I'm not sure what they mean, but I heard Hidan-san saying them so they can't be bad!

"Hey! Don't have a fucking orgy on the damn living room floor!" I shout. All of the guys stop and stare at me wide-eyed. Konan-chan and Pein-san come running in the room. Apparently they just got back.

Nobody's POV

Konan and Pein just got back from their mission and they heard Shannon shout 'Hey! Don't have a fucking orgy on the damn living room floor!' and they were shocked. They ran into the living room and Konan snatched Shannon into her arms. Konan cried out in anguish and pressed Shannon to her chest.

"WHAT HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN TEACHING MY BABY?" Konan screamed glaring daggers at the men. Pein sighed and took Shannon into his arms. He cradled the small girl and smiled at her when she giggled. He couldn't help it she was so damn cute! She had apparently captured everyone's heart because they all turned and glared at Hidan, ready to kill him.

"Who taught you those words?" Pein asked gently, careful not to raise his voice around the girl like Konan did.

"I-I just heard-" Shannon stopped short when she looked into Hidan's eyes. Hidan had an ashamed look in his eyes and he was silently begging her not to tell, he just knew he was the one that she heard the words from and he was actually upset about that. Shannon paused and thought of something to do. Suddenly her mind traveled back to her parents and the rest of her family, she remembered when her dad let her stay up, but she had to hide in her room.

Flashback

"Daddy! I wanna be awake a long time like you and mommy!" Shannon chirped. Her father chuckled and bounced her lightly on his knee.

"I'll make you a deal baby, if you stay in your room so mommy doesn't see, you can stay up as long as you want, just for tonight though," he said. Shannon smiled and nodded her head eagerly. Her dad set her on her bed and gave her a picture book to look at, some crayons, a pencil, and some paper. A few hours after he left, her mother passed her room. She saw the light coming from the crack at the bottom of the door and got her husband. She pulled him into Shannon's bedroom; Shannon looked up and smiled at her parents when they entered.

"My sweet little angel, what in the world are you doing up? Who told you that you were allowed to stay up?" Shannon's mother asked, her voice soft and angelic. She lifted Shannon into her lap and gently caressed her hair. Shannon looked up into her father's eyes and saw guilt in them; he was silently pleading for her not to tell her mom that he allowed her to stay up.

"I didn't see the time, sowwy mommy," Shannon said softly. Her mother and father smiled, they tucked her into bed and kissed her goodnight. What she didn't know was the next night her parents wouldn't be around to tuck her in. Ever again.

End of Flashback

"You heard it…?" Konan asked still glaring at the men. She cracked her knuckles and stepped towards the men a little more. Shannon began to cry and she stuck her arms out to Hidan. Hidan's eyes widened and he took the little girl from Pein. Everyone was alarmed that the little girl busted out crying and reached out to Hidan of all people.

"What's the matter?" Hidan asked worry lacing his tone. Shannon buried her face in his chest and continued sobbing, she missed her mom and dad so much and it was only worse when she thought about them. Konan pulled Shannon from Hidan's arms and she sobbed even harder. No matter how hard Konan tried to shush her, Shannon just kept sobbing. Finally Kakuzu took her from Konan and left the room with her. He locked himself with Shannon in his bedroom. He started tossing Shannon in the air and catching her, he rocked her back and forth, and eventually she stopped crying and cuddled into his chest.

"There, are you okay now?" Kakuzu asked genuinely concerned. Shannon nodded her little head and hugged Kakuzu. Her arms couldn't go all the way around him, but it was still a hug.

"LET US THE FUCK IN! LET ME SEE MY BABY!" Konan roared from outside the door, everyone except Hidan, Sasori, and Deidara was there with her. Kakuzu sighed and looked at Shannon. Shannon shook her head no got an evil look in her eyes. She put a finger to her lips and pointed at the window. Kakuzu realized what Shannon wanted him to do and he jumped out of the window with Shannon in his arms. He used his threads to close the window and snuck in the base through the front entrance. He carried her to the living room to see Hidan sulking, Sasori pacing with a worried look on his face, and Deidara staring blankly at the wall. Kakuzu gently put Shannon on the floor and smiled when she pouted. She then saw Hidan sulking and pulled on his pant leg. Hidan's eyes lit up and he picked her up.

"Shannon are you alright?" Sasori, Hidan, and Deidara asked. Shannon nodded and hugged Hidan.

"Okay bitch, why were you crying?" Hidan asked. Shannon looked away and climbed out of Hidan's arms onto the couch and sat beside him.

"I don't wanna tell you," Shannon murmured sadly. Sasori, Deidara, and Kakuzu all joined Hidan and Shannon on the couch. They all realized they were growing attached to this child and that they all wanted to know what made her cry.

"Please tell us un," Deidara said softly. Shannon shook her head no and jumped off the couch. She walked out of the room and into the hall. She saw Kisame and scrambled over to him. She latched herself onto his leg.

"Shannon!" Kisame boomed and unlatched her from his leg. He lifted her up and gave her a toothy grin.

"Hi Kisame-san!" Shannon said. Kisame raised an eyebrow, she was just crying earlier and now she's smiling? Wow…

"Are you okay?" Kisame asked balancing Shannon on his hip. She smiled and nodded her head yes. Kisame walked to where Konan and the others were trying to bust down Kakuzu's door and sighed. "Hey Shannon, look at the crazy people!" Kisame said loudly. Everyone swung around and rushed up to Kisame. They tried to rip her out of Kisame's arms and it worked. Tobi got her and ran away. The others couldn't find were he went with her and they were pissed. Tobi put Shannon in a gorgeous pink dress. Shannon ran out of the room and to the living room, where everyone else was. She ran over to Sasori and held her arms up to him. He lifted her up and smiled.

"You look beautiful," Sasori said smiling. He seems to be doing that a lot lately…

"Yeah un," Deidara chirped staring at the tiny girl.

"You do look nice, but how much did that dress cost?" Kakuzu asked narrowing his eyes.

"Oh honey you look so pretty, did Tobi do that?" Konan asked with hearts coming out of her head. Shannon nodded.

"Fuck girl, you look cute," Hidan said smiling at the pouting girl.

"Look at our little princess," Kisame whistled and gave Shannon a large toothy grin.

"I've only ever seen you in black, pink is a nice change," Itachi said calmly.

"You look sweet," Pein said surprised the small girl was actually in color.

"You look adorable! You look tasty," Zetsu said. Shannon's eyes widened at Zetsu's black half's comment and she clung to Sasori's cloak.

"The pink burns, Tobi-san dressed me up! I feel like cotton candy threw up on me!" Shannon whined. Everyone laughed at the small girl and Tobi raced into the room.

"TOBI HAD MORE DRESSES!" Tobi yelled holding up a blue one, a red one, a green one, and a yellow one. Shannon screamed as loud as she could and Sasori quickly soothed her.

"Don't worry, shhh, it's okay, you don't have to put on the dresses," Sasori said carefully. Shannon smiled and hugged Sasori.

"Thank you Sasori-san," Shannon said quietly. Deidara picked Shannon up and smiled.

"You're really small, Hidan was right," Deidara said smiling. Shannon crossed her arms over her chest and pouted. Kakuzu took Shannon from Deidara and smiled under his mask.

"If you look this cute and innocent in outfits, I don't care how much they cost, I'll get them," Kakuzu stated. Everyone except Shannon fell over. Kakuzu put Shannon down and she ran off to get ready for bed. Once she was ready Konan tried to get her to go to sleep, but she couldn't. She came out to the living room looking disgruntled.

"Someone go get my baby to sleep," Konan demanded. Pein got up and went to Shannon's room. He made sure no one was around because what he's about to do is totally ooc. He walked in Shannon's room and locked the door. He lifted her up into his arms and smiled.

"Hi Pein-sama!" Shannon said sweetly.

"Hello, I'm here to get you to sleep," Pein said. He took a deep breath and began singing.

"Baby mine, don't you cry.

Baby mine, dry your eyes.

Rest your head close to my heart,

Never to part,

Baby of mine.

Little one when you play,

Don't you mind what they say.

Let those eyes sparkle and shine,

Never a tear,

Baby of mine.

If they knew sweet little you,

They'd end up loving you too.

All those same people who scold you,

What they'd give just for the right to hold you.

From you head down to your toes,

You're not much, goodness knows

But you're so precious to me,

Sweet as can be,

Baby of mine.

Baby of mine."

Once Pein was finished singing Shannon was sound asleep in his arms. He gently tucked her in and came out to the living room. He sat beside Hidan and sighed. Hidan gave him a smack on the knee.

"She fucking asleep?" Hidan asked. Pein sighed again and nodded.

"We're all growing attached to her," Pein said and smiled. "She's ours, she's the Akatsuki's little girl," Pein said. Everyone nodded.

"I'm like her mother and you're like her father. Hidan, Sasori, and Deidara are like her brothers. Zetsu, Itachi, Kisame, Kakuzu, and Tobi are like her uncles," Konan said smiling. "Or all of you others guys are like her brothers," Konan said. She smiled at the thought. "We're a family," she said.

Please review! I know the Akatsuki members are ooc, but I think it suits the story. The dress Tobi put Shannon in is on photobucket, if you can't find it send me a message and I'll send the picture to you. I don't own the dress btw!
