*Parika's POV*
I walked in between Sasori and Deidara all the way to breakfast; everyone was up and seemed to be waiting for something. I walked into the kitchen to see Konan moving frantically around completing multiple orders.
"You need help?" I asked leaning in the doorway.
"Yes," she answered with pleading eyes.
"Where are all the orders?" she pointed to a piece of paper on the table "I'll handle all the orders, you go back to the dining room."
Konan left without another word, I had a quick look at the paper the only names not there were Sasori, Deidara and mine. I rolled up my figurative sleeves and began to cook. After about ten minutes I walked into the dining room placing a plate of food in front of each member.
"Sasori, Deidara, what do you want to eat?"
"Pancakes please," Deidara asked excitedly.
"What about you Sasori?"
"Surprise me," he answered.
I smiled at his response and returned to the kitchen to make pancakes for them both. I handed them their food, gave Sasori a kiss and left. I returned to the kitchen to clean up the mess, when I started the dishes Hidan came in. He wrapped his arms around me placing his dishes in the sink and kissing my neck, it took all my strength not to do anything rash.
"Get off of me Hidan," I warned.
He didn't listen and continued his kisses; I turned around in his arms, kneed him then kicked him against the wall holding him there with knifes. Using a special jutsu I turned him invisible, luckily it also made him silent so no one could hear him. Itachi came in after and did the exact same thing; instead of putting him against the wall I stuck him to the ceiling. Kisame, Zetsu and Kakuzu placed their dishes beside the sink; Tobi came in with Pein and Konan.
"Parika!" Tobi shouted while jumping on my back.
"Give up already," I said with a heavy sigh.
"I never give up, I also get what I want," he spoke like Madara "I always capture the treasure of my eye."
"That's sweet, but I'm one piece of treasure you'll never be able to capture," I turned around to finish the dishes.
"Since you were making breakfast you missed the announcement," Pein informed "The Ice Queen is coming for a visit today with her children."
I dropped a plate when I heard this; flustered I bent down to clean it up. My real family was coming for a visit. Not many people are aware that my family in Konoha only adopted me, eventually I forgot about that fact too until a mission a few years ago triggered my memory about my real family.
"Cancel it," I whispered.
"What did you say?" Pein asked.
"Cancel the visit," I repeated a little louder.
"We can't, they'll be there in an hour or so," Konan answered.
"Send me on a mission," I demanded frantically "I can't be here when they are. Her three children don't co-operate well together."
"She only has two children; a handsome prince and a beautiful young princess," Konan said confused but I shook my head frantically.
"You're not going on any mission," Pein told me "Be kind to our honored guests while they're here."
Pein, Tobi and Konan left their dishes on the counter before leaving the kitchen as Sasori and Deidara walked in placing their dishes also on the counter.
"What's wrong Parika?" Deidara asked rubbing my back.
"Trouble... major trouble... in about an hour," I stammered out.
"We'll protect you," Sasori gave me a hug.
I stood there for about five minutes crying and shaking in Sasori's strong arms as Deidara finished the dishes. The three of us left the kitchen to watch TV, I secretly let Itachi and Hidan go returning them visible again. About forty-five minutes passed when there was a knock on the door, Pein ordered everyone to show respect and welcome them at the door. The door opened and in stepped the Ice Queen, prince and princess, everyone bowed, I tried to slip away while introductions were being made.
"Get back here," Pein called.
I froze, spun, walked back to the group and stood in front of the guests. I bowed low, stood up and turned around only to have a crystal pop up right in front of me. I turned back around to see an angry and panting prince. A snake of crystal wrapped around me, binding me to the crystal that the prince created.
"You think we're stupid?" the prince asked.
"No, but I was kind of hoping you were," I responded truthfully.
"Wrong answer," the princess answered having the snake tightened around me drawing blood.
"Enough children," the queen calmly stated "Let her go."
"Yes mother," they answered, I rolled my eyes.
"I don't need your help," I hissed stretching my arms "I could have gotten free by myself."
The queen walked over smacking me on the face. Her hand left a red mark and her nails left a little trail of blood on my cheek from where they scratched. I heard the princess giggle, I shot her a death glare and she shut up hiding behind her brother.
"Pitiful," the queen sighed "I need a child with all your strengths. None of you are fit to take my place at the throne."
"But mother..." they whined.
"Who cares," I hissed "Can I go now?"
"No, you were gone for so long you should catch up with the prince and princess," the queen said.
"It's not my fault I was banished."
"Banished? You were never banished, you were sent away to find a husband."
"You lying, deceiving little devils!" I yelled glaring at the prince and princess "You told me I was banished! I'm going to kill you for that little prank of yours!"
They were running away as I glared at them. As satisfying as it was to see them run I wasn't going to be calm until after they felt my wrath. Cracking my knuckles I went to go after them only to be trapped by the queens' crystals around my feet.
"Ice Crystal since you're next in line for the throne I must know, do you have a husband after all these years?" the queen asked calmly.
"No husband, but there is a guy," I stated glancing at Sasori.
"Who I hope will be your husband soon so you can officially take the throne."
"You don't have to worry about that," Sasori said wrapping his arms around me.
"Is this the man?"
"Yes," I answered bluntly, kissing him "Now if you'll excuse me, the prince, princess and I have some catching up to do."
Without another word from anyone I left to go find them to try to kill them, or at least seriously injure them. The queen went off with Pein and Konan to probably talk about a treaty or alliance of some sort.
