"Wait, wait, wait….Itachi you're telling me…" Sasori said. Itachi had now clung himself to Sasori's shoulder.

"Yes! It's true….it's… it's all true! I found out on my own!" Itachi continued to wail. Sasori figured this would be a perfect time to get Deidara to explain Dimitri's question. And so Sasori told Dimitri to tell Deidara exactly what he had told him. Deidara had sat Helena beside her brother to eat her macaroni. Deidara listened to everything Dimitri said and he leaned over and whispered something to Dimitri. The reaction on that 11-year-old's face was priceless.

"Are you serious Deidara! THAT'S what the do when they tell me to not come in their room?" Ah, 11-year old curiosity.

"That's what they were doing, yeah."

"You told him? You told him? I tried to avoid the situation by playing dumb!" Sasori yelled.

"Hey, my parents were always honest with me, yeah! And look what a well-developed person I am because of it, yeah." Deidara insisted.

"Deidara, you walked in on your parents like what 7 times! They HAD to be honest with you!" Sasori argued. It was true, Deidara had figured everything out (EVERYTHING) by the time he was 10. Itachi, still in tears now watched as Deidara left a rather shocked Dimitri to mix a pitcher of tropical punch Kool-Aid. Usually, Sasori was the beverage mixer but currently Sasori was caught up in the game of Sorry, Itachi was finally beginning to dry his tears and regain his composure. So far, the babysitting had been overly educational but all and all it had gone well.

"You know, we could all go down to the pool later today, it hasn't been closed up yet. I noticed the kids brought swimwear." Kisame said.

"Can we? Can we really? Can we swim later?" Dimitri asked.

"Yeah, can we? Can we please?" Helena chimed in after him.

"That's a good idea, seriously. I mean kids love water and what better place to pray and splash than the pool?" Hidan said. Kakuzu rolled his eyes at him, the slightest things pissed Kakuzu off and Hidan's religious comments ALWAYS pissed him off.

"Yeah, we'll go to the pool later. After you two eat you can change and we'll go." Motherly Sasori said. Sasori was delighted that the macaroni/hotdog combination was such a hit, of course he knew it would be. Deidara finished mixing up the Kool-Aid and he poured glasses for the kids. Strange, normally when Deidara was mixing Kool-Aid he was pouring a healthy dose of vodka into it, but not for these little ones today, he'd wait until they were 16 and older to teach them that.

"Itachi, you go get ready to take the kids to the pool." Zetsu said washing dishes.

"You know I don't have a way with kids! Deidara, you're coming with me." Itachi insisted. He went to get ready for the pool. Eleven-year-old Dimitri was pretty self maintained but Helena required more attention so Itachi figured he would make Deidara look after her. The last time Itachi had been in charge of a child was when he was constantly forced to look after Sasuke because he was the older brother, who had the life experience…well actually it was because he had all the free time and usually Mikoto needed to cook and since Itachi and Fugaku hated each other, it seemed to work out.

However, if Itachi had known the pool would only bring about questions that children had to know…he probably would have never agreed to go to the pool.

"Itachi, how do I get to look like you?" Now, of course, Itachi took this as a combat.

"Dimitri, you will NEVER look like me…I'm sexy. I mean, I'm so sexy it almost hurts to look as good as I do." This was his reply. Now Dimitri was even more perplexed than he was with his initial question. "Ask Deidara, he'll tell you that I'm sexy." Dimitri was hardly satisfied with this answer.

"Well, I don't think you answered my question I mean you're in good shape, right? So when can I be in good shape like you? I mean I exercise everyday." Now the picture was becoming clearer….well to Deidara it was. Which was strange because he was usually the one who never understand anything.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Itachi asked getting frustrated.

"Itachi! You can't say hell in front of an 11-year-old you stupid fuck, yeah!"

"Well you can't say fuck in front of an 11-year-old either dumb ass!" And the profanity continued all the way to the pool.

"Dimitri you're too young to look as good as Itachi, yeah. If you wait two more years, you will begin to notice lots of glorious changes in your body, yeah." Once again, Deidara to the rescue.

"What do you mean, Deidara?" Dimitri asked.

"God, what is wrong with 'the leader' and his wife, do they tell these kids nothing, yeah?" Deidara whispered to Itachi who had just now figured out that Dimitriwas wondering why he couldn't have the perfectly chiseled out chest that Itachi had. He also figured out that Deidara was going to tell Dimitri about the wonders of puberty.

"Obviously not." Itachi said. Ah, the joys of kids…
