As promised, here is the first chapter of a very funny babysitting adventure. I hope you enjoy it!
Some Background…
Every year, 'the leader' and his wife go to the annual Little Italy Festival where they drink a while lot of wine, eat a lot of Italian food, and pretty much stay away until late at night. Whenever they go on this trip, they leave their two kids 7 year old Helena and 11 year old Dimitri with Akatsuki…this year is no exception. It seems that Akatsuki wouldn't make the best childcare providers, but whatever….
"The kids are going to be here in 20 minutes! Quick put away all the alcohol bottles, put the kunais in the closet, get those condoms off the counter!" Sasori the house wife was frantically cleaning and making certain the apartment was child friendly. There was a knock at the door…Helena and Dimitri had arrived…
"Boys, thanks for keeping the kids today. My wife and I will be back late tonight." The leader said. He handed Sasori a large sum of money for looking after the kids.
"Okay, we'll see you when you get back tonight!" Sasori reassured 'the leader'. And so Helena and Dimitri stepped inside the apartment carrying bunches and bunches of things in their arms. Itachi looked at them a little freaked out. He always got nervous when they babysat….even though he had watched Sasuke all the time when they were small and adorable. Deidara always looked forward to babysitting day, Helena was in love with Deidara because he had blonde hair just like her. Neither Hidan, Kakuzu or Tobi had ever babysat before. Sasori was an excellent snack maker, Zetsu told elaborate bedtime stories and Kisame well he looked like a shark so that was pretty entertaining.
"Um….Hi Helena…Hi Dimitri." Sasori said tentatively.
"Hi Sasori." Helena said softly.
"Hi." Dimitri said. After the awkward introduction, the kids came into the apartment. Itachi hid behind Deidara who was smiling all over because Helena was smiling at him.
"Deidara….will you please braid my hair?" the precious seven year old asked politely.
"Of course, I will, yeah. Come here Helena."
"Will you braid, Matilda's hair too?" Matilda was Helena's doll.
"Yes, I will, yeah." Deidara answered her. She outreached her arms towards him and waited for Deidara to scoop her off the ground.
"Hey! Let's go throw baseball!" Dimitri said to Itachi with shining eyes, well Itachi freaked out.
"Um….sports aren't really my thing. But, Hidan will go with you." So Hidan tentatively took Dimitri outside to throw the baseball. Sasori immediately got to work in the kitchen.
"So what are you going to make?" Kisame asked.
"Only the one thing that all kids love…macaroni and cheese with sliced up hot dogs." Sasori answered.
"Dude, that sounds awesome!" Kisame said. Tobi kept on babbling like an idiot about how honored he was hat Akatsuki was an organization that supported kids. Little did Tobi know that Akatsuki got paid $40.00 an hour to watch the kids.
Hidan and Dimitri weren't having success with baseball, Hidan couldn't throw a ball if his life depended on it, however Dimitri was running all over the place trying to catch it and having a blast.
"Helena, do you want one braid or two, yeah?" Deidara sweetly asked the little girl. He had her in his lap.
"Well, I want two, but Matilda wants one and Matilda needs her hair braided first." Helena declared. Itachi was watching this, rolling his eyes, yet intrigued by Deidara's paternal knack. And so, Deidara took Helena's doll and braided her hair. However, when Deidara began to brush out Helena's hair…it happened…the one thing Deidar hadn't expected to happen…she asked…the question…
"Deidara, can I asked you a question?" she wondered.
"Sure you can ask me a question, yeah." Deidara said separating her hair.
"Well, my daddy doesn't answer this question, he turns a funny color."
"Okay, yeah."
"Where do babies come from?" Itachi's eyes nearly popped out of his head and Deidara froze….babysitting just got a little more complicated…
