Here is the 29th chapter.

We are almost caught up with the first story of this trilogy.

:)

Enjoy, my amazingly awesome lovelies. I do not own Naruto.


"Alright." I said, sitting between Itachi and Kisame on the couch in the living room. "Cielo, tell me more about yourself."

He raised his eyebrow, looking shy about everyone looking at him. He instinctively tightened his grip on Ash and sunk lower in his seat. Itachi, Sasuke, Sable, Kisame, Sasori, Tiburon, Kathryn, Deidara, Sanaa, and I were in the living room and he was now the center of attention. Hidan and Kakuzu were out getting supplies with Zetsu.

"You don't have to be nervous." I told him with a smile. "If someone is mean to you, tell me and I'll beat them."

He smiled slightly at that and shrugged. "What do you want to know?"

"What's your favorite color?" Sanaa asked.

Cielo looked at her. "Silver."

"What's your favorite food?" Tiburon wondered.

Cielo shrugged. "Rice."

Kathryn smiled at him. "What's your favorite animal?"

"Foxes." He said quietly. "I like tigers too."

"What's your opinion on art, un?" Deidara asked.

"I've never really been that interested in art." Cielo shrugged. "The extent of my artistic ability ends at writing, and I cannot draw, nor am I good at doing anything… creative."

I raised my eyebrow. "You write?"

"Only sometimes." Cielo admitted. "My grandmother showed me how to use it as an outlet for any overwhelming emotions after my parents died. It's how I cope." He shrugged and buried his face into Ash's fur. "I don't do it very often anymore."

Ash licked his face and made a quiet purring noise.

"You poor thing." Kathryn pouted.

He looked at her. "I'm not sad about it anymore. I've done my grieving and I'm okay with it now."

Sasuke glanced at me from the couch next to mine at Itachi's side. Tiburon was sitting beside him and Cielo sat at the end of the couch. I was staring at Cielo, taking in all of his mannerisms and analyzing his movements.

"You're a strong kid." I told him. "Not a lot of kids your age would be able to handle what you have."

"I'm a Shinobi." He said quietly. "I can't cry my whole life. I have to continue getting stronger so I can protect my clan. My dad was the head of the clan, and when I get older, I will be the clan head. It's only right that I'm able to protect them. Hopefully, I can do it even better than he did."

Itachi dipped his head. "That is a very mature goal, Cielo. Your father would be proud of you, and your clan is lucky to have you."

He smiled slightly in appreciation.

"This is all sentimental and everything, but why are we having a pity party?" Sasori asked, raising his eyebrow.

"Shut up Sasori." I frowned.

He narrowed his eyes at me. "Don't make me come over there."

"Bring it, Loofa." I challenged.

He sighed and shook his head. "Your lack of self-preservation is ridiculous."

I shrugged. "I'm not afraid of dying. It's inevitable. The only thing that worries me is who is going to die when Itachi goes into a murderous rampage, and how you all will feed and take care of yourselves if I'm gone. Obviously, none of you knows how to cook or clean to save your lives."

"Hey, I can cook." Kisame pouted.

"Kisame, I've had your cooking before." I deadpanned. "You would not survive on that for the duration of your life. It has merit to it, but it's not healthy."

"And usually all you make is fish, un." Deidara told him.

"There's nothing wrong with fish." Kisame snapped.

I sighed. "No, there isn't. Dei, leave him alone. You can't cook shit."

"I can cook."

All of us looked towards Cielo.

"You can?" I asked.

He nodded. "I used to cook with my grandmother. She taught me all of her recipes and I've committed them to memory."

"I wanna try Cielo's cooking!" Sanaa chirped.

"I can make dinner." He said with a shrug. "If that's okay with you, Alice."

I smirked. "It's fine with me. I'll help you though. There are some things in that kitchen you don't want to touch." I winked at him. "Plus, we'll need to hide the fact that you made it from Hidan because he throws a fit if I don't cook."

"Okay." Cielo nodded.

I pointed at Cielo, looking at Itachi. "I want him."

Itachi sighed.

"I mean it! Look at him. He's adorable." I stated. "And he listens to me. Ours still ignores me half the time." I threw a meaningful look at Tiburon.

Said nine-year-old smiled at me cheekily.

"Brat." I grumbled.

Sasuke smirked. "He listens to me."

"And me." Kisame chimed.

"Neither of you tell him to do things he doesn't want to do." I stated. "The only one he listens to without question is his dad."

Itachi shrugged. "I'm still scarier than you."

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Whatever, Nii-san."

"He listens to me." Sasori stated. "But that's because if he doesn't, I torment him in training."

Kisame snickered. "He listens to Kakuzu better than he does Itachi."

"I listen to Kakuzu." I told him. "Kakuzu's intimidating as fuck when he's mad."

"Good. That means I'm doing something right."

All of us looked towards the speaker to see Kakuzu standing in the doorway, just behind Hidan who was currently trying to fight off Sable's greeting.

"Hey Kakuzu." I smiled.

"Hello." He said boredly. "Since I'm so intimidating and everyone listens to me, Alice go make dinner. I'm hungry."

I glared at him. "Since when did you and Hidan exchange roles for being the organization's number one asshole? Is Hidan going to storm in here, ranting about savings and money?" I scoffed. "You two are taking role play to a whole new level." I smirked. "Trying to spice up the love life, Kuzu?"

Kakuzu crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes at me.

I coughed. "Well… I'm just going to go and start on dinner if that's okay with you guys. Cielo, come along love." Cielo smiled slightly and got up from his chair with his fox, fully intending on helping me make dinner for the ungrateful assholes in this base.

Kakuzu grunted. "That's what I thought you said."


First Person Cielo!

First off, I would like to point out that this organization is full of the most fucking insane people I have ever met. All of them are strange as hell, and I honestly fear for my own sanity even at this very second.

The sanest of them all is probably my teammate's blue namesake, Kisame Hoshigaki. So far, he hasn't done anything strange that would make me question in his sanity, but that's only a matter of time. I thought that Sasori man was sane, but in reality, he's into necrophilia or something like that.

Though, other than the fact that he lives in the bodies of dead people, the weirdest things he does is argue with Alice and say very confusing things. He's also really impatient and he gets a kick out of tormenting the others.

I would say the next sane would have to be Konan, the blue haired woman I met before the others. She's sane, but I think she might really believe that the Leader of the Akatsuki and the ruler of Ame is in fact a god and she's his angel.

Now the Leader is nuts. He has a god complex that rivals the Jashinist's god obsession. He also is into necrophilia with his six dead bodies always surrounding him.

Hidan is fucking crazy. He runs around half naked with sharp weapons ranting about some made up god and he swears more than necessary. He is overly loud and obnoxious and he constantly smells like blood. And, have I mentioned how terrifying it is to walk in on one of his rituals?

Because that scarred me for life, and I was glued to Alice's side for like two days.

Kakuzu is kind of scary, but he likes to keep to himself so he isn't too bad. His angry side robbed me of sleep for about four days, but that's to be expected when you watch him literally rip Hidan into tiny pieces and then use them, and his head, as projectiles to use when playing fetch with Sable.

Zetsu is a little unnerving, but he's rather harmless unless he's hungry. I tend to avoid him at all costs if he so much as mentions the word food.

Kathryn, or Kitty, as my teammate refers to her as, is harmless. She's crazy, but her strangeness is more amusing than life threatening. She tends to skip more than she walks, and she's more chipper than any other person I've ever met.

Sanaa and Tiburon are alright, and so is Sasuke-sensei, but even they have their strange tendencies. Sensei is like Itachi and Sanaa is a lot like Kathryn. Tiburon isn't even in the same league since he's so much like his mother.

Who, by the way, is the worst one of the bunch.

Alice means well, and she's a really nice person. She's made me feel welcome, but she scares the ever loving hell out of me. One second, she is the sweetest, most gentle being in the world, and the next second, she is trying to rip your head off. It's like two different people are shoved into one person. She makes Zetsu look like a kitten.

Not to mention, she says and does the most ridiculous stuff ever.

Though they are nuts, I feel strangely at home here.

I think I'll like it here.


Third Person!

Tiburon yawned tiredly as he walked through the hallways with Cielo at his side. Cielo yawned as well, having just woken up because Ash had to go potty. He had been unsure of what to do so early in the morning so he woke Tiburon up so he didn't get in trouble on accident.

Tiburon padded lazily through the hallway to the living room because he knew going back to sleep now would be pointless. His mother would be up soon and she would force him to get up anyways.

So, to occupy themselves, the two teammates went to the living room to watch some TV. However, they quickly realized they weren't the only ones in the room. Hidan was passed out on the couch. The TV, though muted, was on and it lit up the room, filling it with random flashes as the scenes changed.

Tiburon huffed since Hidan was lying in his spot and he poked his uncle's shoulder. "Hidan-oji, you can't sleep on the couch."

When Hidan didn't budge, Tiburon looked at Cielo. "Hey Cielo, wanna help me toss him on the floor?" He blinked when he saw the wide-eyed stare of his teammate. "Cielo?"

Cielo pointed at the TV.

Tiburon followed his gaze and he made a grossed out face.

On the giant TV screen in living room in the middle of the Akatsuki base, was a very rare scene that neither boy had seen before. It was a scene that would cause Hidan's castration if Alice knew it was on.

It was playing on the adult station that was almost never used since it played one thing not suitable for a trio of children.

Porn.

"Ew." Tiburon stated, unable to look away.

Cielo shook his head, still watching. "I don't think her body should be able to bend like that…"

"Tibby, Cielo, what are you guys doing up?" Sanaa asked, walking into the room. "Oh, Hidan-oji's in here." She giggled. "He snores so loud." Her eyes flicked to Tiburon and Cielo when she realized they weren't paying her attention. Frowning, she glared at them. "What are you two…?" Her eyes widened.

"I'm a ninja, and I can't even get into that position…" Tiburon commented. "He has got to be missing some bones to be able to do that."

Cielo nodded in consideration. "I agree, but I think he might be double jointed. That could explain it. Her spine is gonna break if she keeps that pose up though."

"Nah." Tiburon stated, shaking his head. "Spinal cords are actually really sturdy, and she's distributing her weight evenly so it's not too dangerous."

"EW!" Sanaa screamed. "What are you watching?"

Tiburon and Cielo didn't even look at her. "It was on when we came in here."

"B-But!" Sanaa whined, covering her eyes. "Icy is gonna be so mad and Sori-Danna is gonna yell at us if we're watching this! We're gonna get in trouble!"

Tiburon shook his head. "Hidan-oji was watching it."

"Hidan was watching what?" Sasori's voice asked as he entered the room. "Why were you screaming Sanaa and why are you covering your… holy shit."

Sasori moved with the speed of light and covered Tiburon and Cielo's eyes with one arm before locating the remote and pressing the power button. He stared at the TV, his mouth open slightly in shock before he shook his head.

"What were you three watching?" He questioned.

"It was on when we came in here." Tiburon told him. "What was that, Sori-Danna?"

"Nothing." Sasori said quickly. "Nothing at all. I want the three of you to go to the kitchen for a minute for me. There's something I need to do, then we'll talk about this. Alright?"

Sanaa peeked through her fingers before looking Sasori. "Sori-Danna, I'm sorry. Are you mad at us?"

Sasori shook his head. "Not at all, Sanaa." He stroked her hair as he released the boys. "Go ahead. I'll be in there shortly."

Sanaa hugged him, nodding obediently as she did so. When he returned the gesture slightly, she let him go and grabbed Tiburon's hand. "Come on, Tibby. Come on Cielo. We have to go to the kitchen to wait for Sori-Danna."

Sasori watched them go before glaring down at the sleeping Jashinist. However, he didn't immediately kill Hidan. He knew Alice and Itachi would like to know exactly what their son had just saw, so he slipped from the living room and went to Alice's room.

He knocked and dipped his head when Alice opened the door.

She raised her eyebrow at him and stepped back. "Sup Sasori?"

Sasori glanced around for Itachi, noticing he was lying in bed, glaring at the door because he obviously was woken up before he was ready to get up.

"My apologies for waking you up if I did, however I figured you might want to know exactly what just happened." Sasori began.

Alice's eyes habitually flicked across the hallway and she tensed at seeing Tiburon's door open. "What happened, Sasori?"

"I just walked in on Tiburon, Cielo, and Sanaa watching porn on the TV in the living room. Hidan was passed out on the couch and according to the kids the adult entertainment channel was on when they got there." Sasori growled.

Alice stared at him for a minute. "You're telling me that my baby, my Sanaa, and that little boy that I am determined to adopt just walked in on Hidan's porn fixation?" Her eyebrow twitched. "Two nine-year-olds and a ten-year-old just saw something explicit because Hidan is a fucking moron?"

Sasori nodded. "Yep."

"HIDAN!" Alice shouted, grabbing her sword from the wall beside the door and ripping it out of its sheath. "Sable, kill Hidan!"

Sable, who was sitting on the bed, threw back her head and howled loudly, no doubt rousing everyone in the base that wasn't already awake because of Alice's shouting. She snarled viciously before taking off out of the room.

Itachi sighed in annoyance and stood up. He walked by Alice, grabbing her sword and left the room.

"Where are you going?" Sasori asked, watching Itachi walk smoothly down the hallway.

Itachi paused and glanced over his shoulder, his Sharingan blazing. "To vent my frustration on a religious, moronic nuisance."

Alice stared after him, her gaze south of his waist. "I hate to see him go, but I love watching him leave." She grinned. "He's so sexy when he's pissed off and tired." She elbowed Sasori. "Come on. I want to watch Hidan suffer."

Sasori chuckled and followed after Alice, amused by her antics and the thought of Hidan being torn to pieces by Itachi and Sable.


First Person Alice!

"I want the three of you to do your best to completely forget everything you just saw." I instructed as I stood in front of Sanaa, Tiburon and Cielo respectively. I had summoned them to my room and they were sitting on my bed with Sable and Ash lying on either side of Tiburon.

Itachi was leaning against the wall behind me, still shirtless and with his hair down, drinking a glass of water to calm himself down off his murderous high. Sasori and Deidara were standing behind Kathryn as she sat in one of the chairs in my room, watching us.

Kakuzu was putting Hidan back together and Kisame was sitting on my dresser, smirking.

"Why?" Tiburon asked.

"You need to because that show you saw is very, very bad. It's not for kids. It's for stupid perverts like Hidan." I informed him.

Cielo cocked his head to the side. "What were they doing?"

I introduced my palm to my forehead.

"You don't need to worry about that until you get older, Cielo." Kisame told him. "What they were doing is for adults and adults only."

Sanaa raised her hand. "Do you and Tachi do that stuff, Icy?"

Itachi choked on his water.

Sasori, Deidara, and Kisame snorted while Kathryn made a face.

I sighed. "No, Itachi and I have never done the nasty things they were doing in that show. Neither, I hope, have your mother and father."

"Mom, what were they doing?" Tiburon pressed. "They were doing weird stuff and that woman's body should not have bent like that."

Deidara buried his face into his arm

"They were cleaning." I told him. "It's a very… dangerous way to clean someone which is why only trained professionals and adults do it."

Sasori gave me a look, but I flicked him off.

If he had something better, he could stand here and try and save their innocence.

Why do I always have to do all the work?

"How come Hidan-oji was watching it?" Sanaa wondered.

"Because he is the epitome of a moron." Itachi informed her.

She nodded. "Oh. Kuzu-oji said that too."

Cielo frowned. "I'm confused."

"As you get older, things will become clear kids. That I promise you." I sighed. "For now, just focus on being Shinobi."

"Kay!" All three of them chimed.


Alice calls Hidan a pervert, but in reality, she's probably just as bad as he is. XD

Fun Fact: They have square watermelons in Japan - they stack better.

Answer: When I asked the question, I originally meant famous people. But... I guess dead relatives are cool too. As for me, I'd take Hitler out. I want to compare heights and punch him in the mouth. Abe Lincoln would be fun too. He's my favorite president.

QotC: Who would win in a fight: Darth Vader from Star Wars or Legolas from The Lord of the Rings?

WotC: Sick - Enfermo(a)

Cielo has a Spanish name because I wanted him to have a Spanish name. :)

Yes, I have known/do know people with cancer. My grandmother has it, my other one had it. My aunt has it, and one of my friends does. So did Lexy.

OCD means Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Yeah, I'm done. I love you all in a platonic way. Go rape xdreamernumbuhfour's story Little Clouds for me because it makes me happy. Seriously, go do it. I honestly think she's a better writer than I am. She portrays the kids better than I do too, lol. Go mug Tori-Da-Mutt's stories with affection too. I'm obsessed with her branch story of this. And Klavieres deserves ten time more reviews and attention than I get. Go bother all of them.

See ya.
