Chello ppl! :D I was being emo for a little while, and it caused a chain of events which led to me not updating. Sorry about that.

I don't own naruto.

After several more minutes, Itachi and Kimiko were taken by surprise when the door flew open and who should come rushing in but the rest of the Akatsuki.

"KIMIKO!" Konan yelled in relief, throwing her arms around Kimiko in a hug.

"Hi Konan." Kimiko said, hugging back with her good arm, as the other had a brace on it to keep her it from further injury.

"Did we miss all of these somehow?" Konan asked, lifting Kimiko's left wrist, which was supposedly sprained and possibly broken.

"No. Most of it was INFLICTED after she went home…" Itachi said, crossing his arms.

A few gasps went through the room.

"WHO?" Konan asked, surveying Kimiko, but expecting an answer from Itachi.

Itachi hesitated, trying to find the right way to word it.

"NAMES, MAN! I NEED FREAKING NAMES! NO ONE DOES THIS KIND OF DAMAGE TO MY LITTLE GIRL AND LIVES!" Hidan said, grabbing Itachi and shaking him a few times before turning his attention towards Kimiko, who was currently being hammered with questions and rants coming from Konan.

"Her parents did it." Itachi said, deciding to lay it straight for everyone.

A shocked silence went through the room.

Hidan turned around and looked at Kimiko dead in the eye as if to ask if this was correct.

Her eyes diverted off to the side, but she gave the slightest of nods.

"IMMA FUCKING KILL THEM…" Hidan muttered, placing a hand on Kimiko's head protectively.

Just then, Itachi's cell phone rang, and he quickly answered it.

"Hello?" he asked.

"Aniki? Mom wanted me to tell you that dad said it was alright for her to stay with us." Sasuke said, joy lining his tone.

"What? Really?" Itachi asked, trying to receive a confirmation from Sasuke.

"Yeah." Sasuke said, adding a giggle towards the end.

"Great." Itachi whispered.

"How's she doin'?" Sasuke asked promptly upon delivering the good news.

"Why don't you talk to her yourself?" Itachi asked before handing the phone to Kimiko.

"Hi Sasuke!" Kimiko said upon receiving the phone.

"Hi Kimiko! How are you?" Sasuke asked.

"I've been better, come to think of it." Kimiko replied, muffling a cough with her hand.

"What hurts the most right now?" Sasuke asked, his question making Kimiko laugh.

"The coughing. You should know that, though." Kimiko replied.

"Ouch… anything broken?" he asked.

"Yeah. 3 ribs, there's a possible fractured bone in my foot, and my wrist is either very badly sprained or broken." She explained, making everyone eye said areas.

"Ouch… Well, you can put Itachi back on now." He said, trying to quickly change the subject.

"Alright, bye." She said, handing the phone to Itachi.

"Yeah, it's bad." Sasuke said, nodding although no one could see him.

"Isn't it?" Itachi asked, his eyes finding their way to the ceiling.

"Well, I better go now. Bye, aniki." Sasuke said, preparing to hang up.

"Alright. Bye." Itachi said before hitting the 'end call' button.

"Since when do you have a possible fracture in your foot?" Itachi asked once the cell phone was in his pocket.

"I got up to use the bathroom and I faceplanted on the floor upon standing. There is a very tenor spot on my foot. I put the pieces together." She explained, pulling the covers off of her feet to reveal her right foot, which was in a cast.

"Ow…" Kisame muttered.

"Oh honey, you don't know the half of it…" she muttered, covering up again.

After an hour or two of idle conversation, Deidara tripped on an unknown object and faceplanted on the floor next to Kimiko's bed.

"Owie…" Kimiko commented, peering down at him.

As he was attempting to stand, he stopped and stared at something confusingly under the bed. He then reached under it and pulled out a wad of 1 dollar bills that was apparently strapped to the underside of said bed.

"Holy cow crap… THE BED POOPS MONEY!" Kimiko muttered, eyeing the wad of cash in Deidara's hand.

Deidara gave her a quizzical look, but turned back to the wad of cash in his hand.

He counted it and concluded it to be roughly 15 dollars.

"I guess the bed is constipated…" Kakuzu commented sarcastically, rolling his oddly colored eyes.

"Please don't say the word 'constipated'…" Kisame pleaded, shuttering.

"Why?" Kakuzu asked.

"Y is an ugly letter, Kakuzu." Kisame said, trying hard not to shutter once again.

"No, P is an ugly letter." Kimiko commented, brushing the bangs out of her eyes.

"Why is it an ugly letter?" Konan asked.

"Because. There has to be a reason why urine is named after it. Why do you think I use the wee instead?" she explained, shuttering like Kisame had done only moments ago.

This made everyone sirpress a laugh.

After a few minutes of trying to figure out why there was money strapped to the underside of a bed and disagreements on whether it was the bed's fault or another logical reason.

After much specualation, they decided to leave it at 'the bed pooped.'

Just then, Tsunade came in and saw Deidara bend down to pick up a dollar from the wad that he had dropped.

She gave him a questioning look, to which he replied,

"The bed pooped it out, hm."

She gave him a look of utter confusion, and looked to everyone else for a more logical explanation.

Everyone nodded to confirm his claim.

"Okay, did you guys take a hit off of the antibiotics or something?" She asked cautiously.

"Skip it." Itachi said, waving off the earlier comment.

"Um well… Shizune and I got the results back from Kimiko's tests and… She should be okay, but it's too late to prevent the infections. You're gonna have to be down for A WHILE Kimiko." Tsunade said, putting a hand on Kimiko's head.

"Well, can't you at least give her some medicine for when the infections hit?" Konan asked, tilting her head to the side like Kimiko often does.

"It's unclear where the more serious infections are going to come from, but we can stop some of the more life threatening symptoms by giving her some antibiotics to counter act some of them." Tsunade explained calmly.

"'life threatening symptoms'? Just WHAT are we dealing with here?" Konan asked, placing a hand on Kimiko's shoulder.

"Well, some rather ugly viruses found their way into little Kimiko here, and since she's suffering from anemia and malnutrition, her immune system couldn't fight off the more serious stuff and she's in for a whole different world of sick." Tsunade finished by looking down at Kimiko and seeing how much fear was written across the 11 year old girl's face.

"Uh, I probably shouldn't have said that in front of her…" Tsunade said, sweatdropping.
