Hey guys it's me, Mimi! I know I haven't updated in a while...

Bad Mimi! Bad!

Ugh I know *taps my wrist* Bad!

So I'm here to say that this is my horrible chapter that I am posting tonight at ten. Please enjoy reading this crappy chapter as I work on the next one.

Sakura's Pov

I woke up in my new room that had been given to me. It was the empty room beside the one I'd slept in. This room had been totally stripped of everything. The walls looked freshly painted white and the carpet was white as well. There was a desk that looked new and the chair as well. There was a walk in closet on one side and a TV in front of the bed. (A/N You guys can rearrange the room however you want to I'm just giving you the furniture.)

There was a note on the desk that said

Sakura,

Please come to the kitchen for breakfast and then get ready we are going to have a family meeting in the living room downstairs. You will get a chance to meet your new brothers. I hope you are not uncomfortable by being around so many people. Hopefully as a family we can work this out together.

Your new Father

-Pein

I smiled at the words 'family' and 'father'. They make me feel complete. When I saw brothers I thought of Hidan and Deidara, but I had already met them. Shit, what if there are more of them. I looked at the bag I had brought along with me. I had thrown it into a corner because I was too tired to change so I fell asleep on top of the bed. I pick up my bag and walk into my closet. It is very spacious yet it looks small from the door (A/N Sasori doesn't have a walk in closet because he has a dresser).

I see some black hangers already on the rack so I quickly hang up the five school shirts I brought and the six pairs of jeans. On top of the self I put my personal items and my bag that still had my underwear. Before I left the closet I quickly grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste, underwear, and a black shirt that had a heart made out of white hummingbirds from Aeropostale. I open the door and poke my head out to see if someone was in the hallway.

I quickly walk to the bathroom and knock on the door. I don't hear a reply so I enter and lock the door behind me. I look in the mirror, which I hadn't done in a long time, and examined my face. I could see a bruise that had formed from where the guy slapped me. Hidan was right I do look like shit I thought.

I stripped down to nothing feeling the soreness kicking in. I then looked in the mirror at my body. My breasts still had hand shaped bruises from my father's rough fondling. And bruises on my pelvis and stomach from the fucking and kicking. The same goes for my back.

I decide since I'm already in front of the sink I'll brush my teeth. I start up the shower and wait for the water to get warm as I brush them. When I'm done the water is just the right temp for soothing my aching body. I start to think of things while I'm in there. My new life, brothers, and what will happen next.

Hey girl cheer up maybe you will have some nice, cute brothers!

Who are you!?

I am your Inner Sakura. I say the things you won't.

Oh. And why would I want cute brothers?

1. Something nice to look at everyday

2. You don't want ugly brothers do you?

Teehee true so where have you been all this time?

Waiting for the right time to show up

Now is the right time?

Yeahhhhh buddy!

I finish up a conversation with my inner as I get out the shower. I find out that she is really funny. I think we should talk more often. I throw my hair into a ponytail. Then dress in new jeans and my shirt and put my sneakers back on. I get ready to leave only to have the door thrown open by a boy who is really tall wearing a tight grey shirt that shows off his muscles, jeans, and a … orange mask?!

"Oh, Tobi is sorry but Tobi really has to pee! Can Tobi please pee?!" Oh. THIS IS TOBI?! Oh. My. Gosh. Tobi. Unicorn Tobi. This hot, muscular thing with fuzzy brown hair is TOBI!? Well ok then.

I move out of his way as I mumble a sure. He rushes past me while yelling, "Thank you. Tobi is sorry!" I just shake my head and make my way to the kitchen. I see I am the first one there besides Pein, Konan, and a long, black haired boy. He looks around the age of seventeen. Pein looks up and nods to the seat beside the black haired boy. I take a deep breath and sit down beside him. I stay to myself. My arms are straight in my lap and my legs are tucked under my chair.

All you can hear in the kitchen is the sound of utensils hitting bowls and pans. A purple haired woman who I assume is his wife, Konan, is cooking. I'm still nervous though, even seeing my new mom doesn't take it away. I smile to myself though, mom, a great way to start the day.

I'm so lost in my thoughts that I don't notice the other members of the family walk in. I notice a big blue guy it sitting beside me… what BLUE!? Yes this guy has blue hair and blue tinted skin. He looks like he has gills on the side of his face, but they are just scratches. I start to get nervous because he is so big and looks super strong.

I think Pein could tell because he cleared his throat, "Guys and Konan, "he smiled at his wife who was still cooking, "I would like to introduce you to your new sister Sakura. Sakura tell us a little bit about yourself." I hate how he puts the spotlight on me, "H-Hi I'm Sakura. I a-am fifteen and I l-like to read. M-My hair is n-natural." Everyone still kept staring at me.

Pein then nodded to a strong looking boy with stitches everywhere on his arms and some on his face, "I'm Kakuzu. I'm seventeen almost eighteen and I like money."

Next to him was Hidan. He smiled a wolfish grin at me and I shyly smiled back, "What's shaken baby? You remember me from yesterday don't ya I'm Hidan. I'm sixteen and I like horror movies and gory things." Oh so his door must be the one with blood on it.

Well then. Next to him was a gorgeous tan skinned boy with the beautiful red hair. "I'm Sasori. I am sixteen and I like puppets" Oh so I stayed in his room.

"Th-thanks for l-letting me st-stay in your r-room." I blush. He nods his head and a slight smile appears.

Next to him was Deidara. "Hey of course you remember me, I'm Deidara, in case you forgot. I'm sixteen almost seventeen and I like bombs and blowing up stuff." I giggled at how he just bluntly put 'blowing stuff up'

Next to Deidara was Tobi. He started waving frantically at me, "Hi, Tobi's name is Tobi! Tobi is… is… Itachi-senpai, how old is Tobi?" I then heard a deep, sexy voice beside me say, "Tobi you just turned sixteen. We threw you a party a week ago." I giggle. "Oh yeah, Tobi is sixteen and he likes to draw in his coloring books. Tobi's cousin is Itachi-sepia! Is it ok if Tobi calls you Blossom? You remind Tobi of a Sakura blossom!" I giggled and nodded sheepishly. "Yay Tobi and Blossom will be very best friends!"

Across from Tobi was person with green hair, yellow eyes, and black and white skin! "Hi! My name is Zetsu! I am seventeen and I love plants. And to eat people. Whoa did his voice just change!

Next to him was the blue boy, "Hey Pinky I'm Kisame! I am seventeen and I love sushi!" Well you are what you eat! I giggled.

The boy on my left his name is Itachi, oh so that's what Tobi said. His voice was so rich, deep, raspy; sexy my Inner was going weak at the knees.

My ovaries! Ugh all our brothers are H.O.T. HOT!

Yeah they are pretty cute!

Cute is an understatement my dear girl I believe the term is: FINE AS HELL!

Ok chill inner I think he is about to introduce himself

"My name is Itachi. I'm seventeen and I like birds, preferably ravens." To have a voice like that and not talk much is so troublesome. I would love to hear him talk all day.

Next to him is Konan who sat down in the middle of Tobi's intro after setting the table with food. "Hi sweetheart I'm Konan! I love origami and I've always wanted a daughter!" Her smile is so big it's contagious. "Well," she said, "Dig in everyone." She said.

Soon everyone was filling their plates with fruit, Natto, rice, and egg rolls. To drink we had a choice of o-cha or Jasmine tea. Tobi had chocolate milk, surprisingly, and Pein, Dad, had coffee. As I fixed my plate I wondered how Tobi would eat with his mask on. I watched as he lifted his mask up only so his mouth would show, only his mouth. Me? I just had some fruit, water, and a piece of bacon.

After breakfast you could hear a bunch of mumbles of 'Thanks mom' or 'Breakfast was great'. I said a small thank you. Pein then cleared his throat and said, "Everyone report downstairs after you clean up the kitchen so we can talk about what to do today." Everyone groaned their ok's as they started to clean up. I just sat there not knowing what to do. Jumping every time something clicked. It reminded me of the dishes my father would throw at me. Konan tapped me on my shoulder and I immediately threw my hands up over my face. I looked over them to see Konan looking at Pein with a sad face as he shook his head. Then I heard "Um, Sakura sweetie, would you like to come wait with us downstairs?" I looked up to see Konan gesturing down the hall where Pein started walking. I got up careful not to scrap chair against the floor like the guys did, and walked down the hall after Pein.

I followed him into this grand room with a cream walls and cream carpet. There was a leather cream couch and black side table. There was a floor lamp in one corner of the room. In front of the couch hung a large flat screen TV complete with surround sound. Pein then gestured for me to have a seat. I sat on the very end of the couch like I'm in my own little box. A while later the boys showed up and sat on the couch in. Sasori sat beside me and next to him was Deidara then Hidan, Kakuzu, Kisame, Itachi, Tobi, and then Zetsu. All the boys took a while to get comfortable and had their attention fully on Pein.

"Well today we are going to help Sakura move in. So we are going shopping," Pein tried to sound happy, but I don't think he does happy. Konan started to bounce up and down at the word shopping. I don't think she gets to do the shopping she wants with a bunch of sons. "Oh, Sakura, we will have so much fun!" To tell you the truth, I've never been shopping. "I've never b-been shopping before" I say in a quiet voice. She gasped and said, "Oh you will have so much fun I promise!" Bye the look of her she went shopping every day, but you could tell she wasn't a bubble brained idiot. Pein then instructed everyone to the garage.

When we reached the garage I saw so many cars lined up one after the other. There were cars of all different kinds. There was an orange bike. Tobi's I think. A green Jeep with vines on it sat furthest from me. Next to it was a blue truck with waves on the sides. Right after that one was a small red sports car. There were silver thin lines running across the sides of the car. They reminded me of threads intertwining with each other. Beside that one was a sleek black Lamborghini with what seemed to be the ghost outline of a raven's wings on the sides. I look across the garage to the other side to see a red motorcycle and a white motorcycle. A yellow Bugatti sat beside the two motorcycles. A black Lexus sat beside the yellow car. If you look into the windows and saw inside the car, the speakers looked like little white masks with different markings on them.

I looked to see other cars but before I could get a good look Pein interrupted me. "You can ride with anyone you want. We are all going to the little shopping plaza downtown."

I looked over at the cars again before I heard the sound of feet and fighting.

"My car could beat your motorcycle any day, yeah!"

"Like hell it would Blondie! We'll just see about that won't we?"

"I guess we will, un!"

Pein closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Just, choose one."

The boys come through the doorway two holding back Hidan and one holding back Deidara. The last person to come through was Itachi looking smooth and disinterested. Sasori, who was holding Deidara back, looked over at me. His gaze made me feel hot and flustered. I stood there fidgeting and looking down at my feet. I looked up and noticed everyone had gone to their cars.

Kisame was already seated in his blue truck and Zetsu riding shotgun. Kakuzu had hoped into his Lexus, and Deidara into the yellow Bugatti. Hidan was standing next to the white motorcycle looking at me. Our eyes met and he gave me a wink. I blushed and looked over to Itachi sitting in the black Lamborghini as Pein told Hidan to ride with Kakuzu. Tobi approached the car and as he opened the door Itachi laid down some rules.

"Tobi," he began voice deep and stern as he looked him in that one eye, singular. His orange mask only showed one eye, just one. "When you carefully step into this car, you do not touch anything; you will gently grab the seat belt and buckle it with care. You do not sneeze, cough, hiccup, or anything else of that nature." Tobi nodded his head, and, ever so carefully, slid into the seat like there were red lasers just waiting to cut off his legs (A/N: I know they don't do that just go with it).

Sasori was walking up to the red sports car. He looked over at me again then at everyone else's cars, then back at me before nodding his head as if to say come here. I walked over to the car and shyly approached him. He opened the passenger door and gestured for me to enter. I smiled in thanks and stepped in.

He… He opened the door for me…

GIRL YOU ARE SOOO IN THERE! *sarcasm*

What do you mean?

Ugh, girl I love you, but I think while we are at the mall we need to buy you a sarcasm detector. But, he wants you, simple as that.

I blushed at what my inner said. She was lying. He doesn't want me.

Yes he does.

I thought you left, shoo!

We sat in the car and waited for everyone to pull out of the garage. When it was Sasori's turn to exit the garage he smoothly sped out just before Pein closed the door. We rode in silence for the first five minutes. Sasori was driving with one hand while leaning on the arm rest. I pushed myself closer to the window. Inner and I had a chat about being more open and not showing fear but. I was afraid he would grab my head and… well that's what Daddy did. I looked over at him. He had on some black Ray Bans and his red hair was swooped to the side. He looked like perfection. He must've noticed me staring because he looked at me was we sat at a red light and said, "Are you gonna keep staring?"

I blinked for a moment before my mind processed what he was saying. I jumped and faced forward before saying in a small voice, "Sorry, I d-didn't mean to stare." He looked at me one more time before grunting and turning away. I could still feel the blush on my cheeks as we sped down the street. I hear Sasori move in his seat before asking, "So… tell me about yourself Sakura-chan." I blushed, again, before turning my head to where I am looking at him.

"Well, m-my favorite color is lime green, and my favorite song is Rewrite by Asian Kung-Fu Generation. I love a-all their songs but t-that one is always on r-repeat." I had never really spoken so much, especially to someone I just met besides Pein. Sasori nodded his head and continued driving. As we turned onto an empty street we heard a honk. There was Deidara in his car and Kakuzu and Hidan in another. The windows were rolled down and we could hear their conversation. "Oi, Kakuzu, let me drive please let me race the blond bastard please!" We heard some rustling coming from the car and before you knew it Kakuzu, was shoved into the back seat. Deidara was laughing before Sasori's car caught his eye.

"Oi, Sasori, my man wanna race with me and the old man?" He shook his head before looking at me. "Wanna race Sakura-chan?" I smiled slightly. I had never raced cars or been in a car race before. "S-sure." He gave me a small but noticeable smile before putting his head out the window. "Normally I wouldn't race, but in celebration of a new member of the family I will participate in your childish games."

Deidara just chuckled and Hidan howled. "Hold on tight Kakuzu!" He shouted before revving the engine. All three of them lined up together. As soon as Deidara shouted 'go', Hidan screamed at the top of his lungs, "For Jashin-sama!" and sped off. Sasori slammed his foot on the gas. His car surged forward with so much force my head hit the headrest. I grabbed onto the passenger assist and tightened my seatbelt. Sasori had a determined look on his face as he gripped the steering wheel with two hands.

Hidan almost ran into us which caused Sasori to slow down a bit, "Take that you, you, you Hobknocker!"

I widened my eyes a bit. Did, did this fool just say 'Hobknocker'? A small giggle escaped my mouth. Sasori looked over at me and smirked. "'Dad' is trying to make Hidan stop cussing so he must use silly, childish words instead. We then sat in a comfortable silence, with Sasori and Hidan neck and neck again. We were reaching the end of the road. Sasori shifted gears once more and we charged forward passing the imaginary finish line. "Wangdoodles!" Hidan 'cursed'. I rolled my eyes and giggles a little as Sasori shifted gears once more with a chuckle. We rode in a comfortable silence the rest of the way to the mall.

When we arrived at the mall I got a little nervous. I have no idea why. I guess it is because I have never been. I slowly stepped out of the expensive looking car and walked over to the driver's side. Sasori stepped out and gave me a small smile. I tried to give one back. Hidan then came, parking in the space next to us on our right. Deidara stepped out first and walked over towards me. He swung his arm over my shoulder. He gave me a quick squeeze before walking over to join the rest of the group who had arrived before us. Hidan raced ahead as we all started to walk to the mall entrance, "C'mon you Crubglaggles!" I covered my mouth as a small laugh escaped me. Pein shook his head and Deidara almost died of laughter.

When I entered the mall my eyes widened. This place was huge and had everything, and every store imaginable! From food to furniture. I was so caught up in never noticed Konan come up beside me. She linked arms with me and gave me a warm smile. "Let's go!" She then yanked me into the nearest store. The walls were pink and they had round, funny looking purple chairs. I sniffed the air, the room smelt sweet. "Oh, that is cotton candy," Konan said, "we can get that too while we are in here." She smiled once more before leading me to a rack full of clothes. "Pick out anything you like," she said. My eyes roamed all over the clothes. So many different colors and styles to choose from.

I ended up picking out a green top with long sleeves and a lace up front starting at the valley of my breasts. The next shirt I picked out was white with small white flowers with a pink center. It has spaghetti straps and flared out a little at the bottom. I also saw a navy blue maxi dress that was stuck in between two, may I say, hideous looking pea green shirts. It had tank top style straps. The bottom flowed down to my knees and was tied in a little knot next to my right knee. Konan said it was cute that way.

We then moved over to the underwear section. We looked through something, but nothing really interested us, well Konan. Konan then jumped while we were in line to pay for the clothes, you could almost see a bright, yellow light bulb floating above her head. "Sakura-chan! We can go to Victoria Secret!" I looked at her with a confused expression before I had a flashback.

Flashback

My father was passed out on the couch with a woman on top of him. They both smelt strangely of alcohol and smoke. The woman had too much make up on her face. It reached all the way up to her eyebrow. They were both naked, except for my father who was wearing a pair of blue striped boxers. I gathered their clothes and folded them. When I was folding the women's underwear it read Victoria Secret.

My father said we, by we meaning I, should always treat "our" guests with kindness. The women were always mean to me, except for some who said I would make a nice play thing. I didn't like them, at all, but I didn't want a beating from father. So I did my job which was to fold the clothes and place them in the chair by the door so the woman could get dressed quickly before father kicked her out. Sometimes daddy would get impatient and throw the clothes out the door along with the nude woman.

Sometimes I would read the labels on the clothes. I don't know why, really. I guess it was to see how many different types of women there were out there. Mommy said you could always tell what type of woman a female was by the way she dresses. Some were classy and others were "tomboyish". But the women daddy brought home were all the same. Hoes. I heard my father use that word many a time. I asked Naruto what it meant and he said it was something similar to slut. Ah, slut. I knew that word very well. I needed no definition for that one.

My attention was brought back by Konan waving her hand in my face. I blinked before my cheeks flushed a little bit. "Well, c'mon Sakura-chan!" She said grabbing the bags, as the woman behind the counter had already checked us out. She then grabbed my hand and proceeded to drag me out the store. We then arrived at a place where there was pink. Everywhere. No blue, No green, No yellow. Pink. The only colors you saw that were besides pink were on their limited selection of clothing they had. Konan then proceeded to dragged me to the 'Pink' section. She then stood me in front of numerous drawers full of bras. Next to it was a pile of underwear, consisting of thongs and other frilly, lacy garments.

I picked the simplest things I could find, while Konan was buying me things like cheetah print and rainbow zebra stripped things. I smiled slightly at the excited look on her face. A woman in a lingerie store is like a kid in a candy shop. She brought me over to the pile of underwear to see if I could make matching sets. "I'll be right back!" She said as she wandered off to the actual lingerie section. Probably in search of treats for not only herself, but for Pein as well. I giggled at her naughty, yet childlike behavior.

I ended up getting five matching sets, and then some that didn't match. Konan bought me the jacket I had been looking at when we first entered the store. It was grey with the Eiffel tower on it and had the words "Pink in Paris" On it in a fancy script. When we got out the store she then asked me if I liked to wear makeup. I had never really worn make up except for the time mommy got me all dressed up on her day off. I would never go to school when I had bruises. Father didn't like me going shopping, or out in public at all.

Konan then proceeded to drag me across the mall to this make up store called "Mac". There were all types of eye shadows and lipsticks. Konan took me to the concealer section first. We found this one that matched my skin tone perfectly. Then she showed me the different eyeliners and mascaras. There were so many to choose from so I ended up getting two mascaras and two eye pencils. Eye shadow was next. I got a huge palette, I think that's what Konan called it. There was a wide range of colors inside it. Konan said she would teach me how to put on makeup and which colors go with which. We reached the brush aisle and Konan tried to tell me about the different types of brushes. I couldn't really keep up and lost interest after she said something about a fan brush. While she started picking out the brushes she told me I could go wander around and look for the lip gloss section.

I walked to the other side of the store to where these tubes of different color pink and brown glittery liquids were. The sign above read "Lips Wear". I was going crazy looking at the different hues of pink. I had a handful as I worked my way down the row. I bumped into someone while I was browsing," G-gomen"

It was a tanned woman with a heavy amount of makeup on. She had drawn on eyebrows and bright orange-ish lipstick. Her hair was this huge, curly mess. Her voice was loud and raspy.

"Oh no darling, you're fine!" She half shouted. She had a Mac basket/bag with her to carry the things she picked up as she was shopping.

"I see you have quite a lot of lip gloss there!" I looked at my hands to see that I had about ten lip-glosses. I blushed as she laughed and swatted my shoulder, her long, floral print nails scratching me a bit.

"It's okay dear! We all know how us girls are, we love our lip-glosses!" She smiled, her gold tooth showing. I timidly smiled back and said I had to go find my mother.

I quickly ran back to Konan and looked at her with wide eyes.

"Well what happened to you? You look like you have seen a ghost!" I put the lip-glosses into our basket/bag before telling her about the encounter I had with the woman.

She looked at me before laughing out loud! I smiled a little bit before quietly saying, "P-please don't m-make me look l-like that!" I blushed as she started to erupt into a fit of quiet giggles.

"Oh, Sakura-chan, I won't I promise!" She gave me a one armed hug as we made our way to the checkout counter.

Konan and I had made our way through all the shops. We bought skinny jeans and cardigans and sweaters and jackets, and belts, and purses and shoes and-.. a lot of other stuff.

Konan let me get my ears, cartilage, and belly button pierced. She also let me get somethings to put inside my purse like a wallet with this really pretty lady on it, I think her name is Marilyn Monroe. I also got a keychain and a new cell phone case. Konan bought me these backpacks and different styles of purses. Some classy and some just for simple outings. We bought more things, but I think I've named off too many things already. Inner of course was in heaven.

SAKU-CHAN! WE ARE GOING TO LOOK FABU!

Hehe I guess.

Heads up, you are now enlisted in "Inner's Confidence and Beauty Class." Now, my young pupil, training starts tomorrow with your new sensei, or sensei-when-I-am-doing-stuff, Konan.

Inner, what could you be doing?

Well, I have to go and f-

Okay, sometimes I just don't want to do anything!

It was lunchtime and everyone met up at the food court. Our conversation was cut short when Sasori came up beside me and I asked me where I wanted to go. I looked around the circle and saw a nice pizza place. I pointed to it and Sasori looked at me and smirked," My favorite, c'mon." He turned around and started to walk away. I walked behind him and tried to stay out of everyone's way. When we got up to the counter I looked at the different pizza's. Sasori ordered a Stromboli, and asked me what I wanted. I looked at what he ordered and asked for the same.

"We can share it," he said with a small, barely noticeable, smile. Once the food came out of the oven and on to the tray, Sasori ordered two Cokes and then paid for the meal. I grabbed the drinks as he grabbed the tray and a few napkins and headed to the table.

"A-arigato," I said in a small voice. He looked over at me and nodded. We sat down with the rest of the group to find Hidan and Deidara in an eating contest.

"I'm gonna win you flipping flingdoodle!" He was about to flip Deidara off but a smack to the back of the head from Pain quickly stopped it.

"Hey! You never said anything about gestures!" Hidan said with a mouthful of food.

"It was implied," Pein said passively. Hidan glared at Pein before getting up to go get more food. Pein just sighed before kissing Konan on the head.

"What am I gonna do with that boy?" He said. Konan giggled before pecking him back. Which turned into some more pecks...

"Ew, not while we're eating, un!" Deidara said with a frown. Pein chuckled before kissing Konan once more. I think it's nice that they can openly show affection towards each other. It's sweet.

I looked over at Sasori who was grabbing a piece of the Stromboli (A/N at the pizza place the Stromboli is too long to fit on the plate so they cut it in half.) I grabbed my half of the food and bit off a tiny piece. My eyes widened. This was good, though it was greasy, it was still very satisfying. I then proceeded to take a bigger bite, when I tore it off with my teeth the cheese kept coming out. I didn't know what to do with the long string so I just let it hang there. Sasori looked over at me and I blushed. I looked back at the string that lead from the food to my mouth to see a hand come out and pluck one end from the pizza, and the other from my mouth. I looked over at Sasori to see him dangling the string above his mouth. He winked at me before proceeding to put the string into his mouth. I blushed even harder. Inner was fanning herself.

Who knew pizza could be so erotic!?

OMG! SHH!

What? It's not like he can hear us!

...You're right, but still! You shouldn't be getting so worked up over pizza!

Saku-baby I am you, you are me. So technically you are the one getting all hot and bothered by a string of cheese and a sexy wink.

Am not!

Oh yeah? Then why'd you blush?

Ohh! Hush you!

"But I wasn't talking," came a deep voice beside me. I looked over to see Sasori looking at me with a raised eyebrow. I blushed.

"G-gomen, I wasn- I mean I didn-," I couldn't even make a proper sentence. I was trying to give an explanation that didn't make me sound crazy. Kami-sama! Inner this is your fault!

"I-I mean I was just thinking out loud heh heh…" I gave a shy smile, my face was probably tomato red with embarrassment! He looked at me skeptically before shrugging and continuing to eat the last few bits of his food. I sighed before digging into my half.

Once we finished eating everyone drove to the furniture store. This place was huge! I got out the car and stood there in awe. Everyone got out their cars. Itachi looking indifferent. Deidara laughing like a hyena. Tobi...started chasing a butterfly. Kisame picking his teeth with a toothpick. Sasori was just staring ahead. Zetsu… was arguing with himself. Pein had his arm wrapped around Konan's shoulders. And Hidan was rubbing the knot that was forming on his head from where Pein had hit him. Hidan had won the eating contest and started yelling his victory to the mall. I must've been staring too long because I felt a slight weight on my shoulder.

Sasori nudged my shoulders I looked away from the mall as he pointed towards the door and gave me a light shove. Everyone was ahead of us, Hidan and Deidara were already entering the store. I blushed and started to walk Sasori right beside me. When we reached the entrance he opened the door for me. I muttered a quiet thank you and walked in. It was really cold in the store. A shiver ran down my spine and Sasori must've noticed because he removed his grey and leather hoodie and handed it to me. He was now standing there in a grey cardigan and a white t-shirt, black skinnies, and some black and grey Vanz. I smiled at the gesture and took the jacket quickly putting it on and zipping it all the way to the top.

Mmm smells just like him!

If only we could just bottle his sent. We could call it Pure Sexiness. Ha? Ha?

I think they already have sweet, masculine, wood smelling colognes...

Aww poo! That boy right there is just so unf! I bet he was carved by Kami's little helpers. Yes he was!

I rolled my eyes at Inner and started walking over to Deidara and Hidan. Deidara was wearing a white shirt with the words 'Boom!" painted across it in red. He wore black skinny jeans and dark red Vanz. His hair still in that same half up, half down fashion. Hidan was wearing an overly large white shirt with baggy jeans. He wore Timberland boots and had his earrings in. His hair slicked back in that old gangster fashion. Both wearing the rings from yesterday. They were standing in one of the fake room set-ups. Deidara was yelling over a piece of art that was hanging on the wall over the bed, Hidan was the first of the two to notice me walk over and sent a wink my way. I blushed a deep shade of red and shyly twinkled my fingers back in a wave. (A/N: I don't know I just think the word 'twinkle' fits okay?)

"H-hello Dei-kun. Hi H-Hidan-kun," I said still blushing. Deidara's frown quickly went away as he pulled me into a one-armed hug. He turned me around to face the painting on the wall. It was a painting of the sunset. Lots of yellows and oranges and touches of red. So many different hues of each color. The painting was breath taking, even if it was just for a fake room display.

"What do you think, un?" He asked me. "It need more, more, more boom!"

I smiled a bit before totally focusing on the painting.

"Well," I began," I think…"

Hmm I don't want to start an argument, but I don't want to lie!

Well, think, he likes explosions and when things explode there is fire and fire is…

Red! I could say this could be interpreted as an explosion! You're a genius Inner!'

Of course I am babe!

"I think this could also be interpreted as an explosion. The reds, oranges, and yellows could represent the fire." I saw him from before his face lit up like a candle! He hugged me really tight before running to get a closer look at the painting.

"I see it, un!" he said quite loudly. "I see the explosion! I can imagine the bomb going off and the fire spread everywhere! Art is bang, yeah?!" I smiled at his excited expression before looking over at Hidan who rolled his eyes and made a gagging motion by sticking out his tongue and pretending to put his finger in his mouth. I giggled.

"I don't see what's so great about it," he smirked, "explosions are stupid. Art is not 'bang'."

Deidara gasped and the angry expression returned. He stalked over to Hidan and stuck his finger in the Jashinist's face.

"Listen here, un, you Kami-hating heathen! Art is bang! I could blow your ass up with all the art I make! yeah!" Sasori started to walk over as well as Itachi who was looking at an interesting tin statue of a Raven. He started to glare at the two.

"Art isn't 'fleeting' nor is it 'bang' it's a stupid painting! Get over it! And if you were trying to insult me try harder! As a matter of fact," Hidan drew in a huge breath then let out the words, "All hail Jashin-Fucking-Sama!" Those words rang throughout the entire store. By the time he got done screaming Itachi was standing next to me, I flinched and threw myself into Itachi's stomach, because Kami knows I'm not even tall enough to reach one of his nipples! He stood stick-still as I covered my ears. Slowly, oh so slowly he lifted his arms and wrapped one around me while the other patted my head, kind of awkwardly, but still it was a nice gesture. I didn't mean to crash into his wall or rock hard muscle, but Hidan scared me! We are all gonna get in trouble!

"Ohh, we're all gonna get in trouble!" I say in a quiet whimper. I hear the pounding of shoes hitting the marble floor echo throughout the store through my covered ears. After Hidan screamed everything went dead silent, well except for Deidara who continued to argue with Hidan. All I saw was the black of Itachi's dress shirt. He was wearing a black dress shirt and black jeans and black dress shoes, the shirt untucked and the sleeves rolled up. His hair was down in a loose ponytail at the nape of his neck. The way he smelled, I couldn't describe it if I tried. It was alluring yet screamed 'I'm dangerous", mysterious.

"He smells good" I said quietly. He looked down and raised an eyebrow.

I blushed and let out a shaky breath. Inner sweat dropped. Well this is awkward…What is wrong with me!? How could I be such a dumbass? He looked at me some more before looking forward again.

"Mystery." he said in a deep voice.

"E-excuse me?" I say as I look up, not quite understanding.

"The cologne. It's called Mystery." Before I could say anything else Pein approached with an angry expression. I buried my head further into Itachi's stone like stomach.

Normal POV

Itachi squeezed her a little tighter. He knew how to comfort someone, he wasn't heartless. He had a little brother once. He has no idea where he is now, but Itachi is here because he was trying to keep his little brother safe.

Itachi's Flashback/ Story

When I was little a masked man used to visit their family once a year on New Year's Eve. Although, it wasn't a mask so much as his face was wrapped up in cloth only allowing one eye to be shown. He would always come over and talk with Father in his private office. During the party all the little kids had to go somewhere and do their own thing while the grownups "partied". I would always play with my little brother and our cousin, Shisui. One year I was walking by Father's office to get something to drink for my little brother, when I hear Father and the man yelling. I quickly hid as the door was thrown open by the man. He glared at Father before leaving the house all together.

My little brother came into my room that night saying he felt sick, so I stayed in the restroom with him while he threw up. After that he sat on my lap, and I on the floor, and fell asleep. When I awoke it was morning, and dead silent, no birds chirping and no dogs barking. I gently placed Sasuke in his bed before walking down the hallway to my parent's room. I walked into Mother and Father's room to tell them about my little brother, only to find them dead. There was blood all over the floor and it trailed all the way to the door where I was standing. I quickly ran out the door to tell my aunt who lived next door. See, my whole family lived in the same neighborhood.

When I arrived at her door I knocked a couple of times. I waited, and waited, until it was ten minutes and she didn't answer. I then looked in the window to see blood. I looked around for something to break the window with. I found a rock by the koi fish pond in the front yard. I threw it at the window. I never knew the sound of glass breaking could be so, loud? I pulled off my shirt and wrapped it around my arm. I broke the rest of the glass before climbing through the window. I jumped down and ran towards to pool of blood. The blood was seeping out from under the door to my cousin's room. I threw the door open to see my cousin, Shisui, under his mother. I started to examine the room.

I turned around and screamed. His father's body was in the corner of the room, his eyes open, staring at me. He wasn't breathing, he wasn't alive, but he was looking, looking at me. I ran. I ran to every house on my block, breaking into everyone's houses. There was so much blood. My life changed on that day. I had nowhere to go. I spent my days wandering the streets looking for work. I couldn't take care of myself and my little brother. I wanted the best life possible for him.

I took Sasuke to stay with Nekobaa (A/N: She is the cat lady from Shippuden ep. 121) and her granddaughter. Although she was a little off her rocker, she wasn't as bad as her brother Madara. He is my great uncle who refuses to die. He is currently in a mental facility for the criminally insane. The rumor is that he went on a killing spree throughout our town after he killed his twin brother. Nekobaa was devastated and went into hiding along with her daughter, her husband was not so lucky to escape Madara's rampage. They say the rampage was caused by seeing the blood that spewed from his brother's throat. Some say they got into an argument. Madara was in a group to try to overthrow the governor of our town. The governor wasmhis childhood friend and rival, Hashirama Senju. When he was thrown into the facility the group went into hiding but their location was found and they were shot to death on the spot.

Madara has a son. He is younger than me. Even though Madara was old he had the body of a twenty year old. He aged very slowly unlike his sister. While in the facility he faked taking his medication for a month. On the first day of the new month he went on a rampage killing doctors and patients alike. There was this one nurse he saw, it was something about her he was just drawn to. Maybe it was her lilac hair, or her bright hazel eyes. He couldn't resist, he had to have her. So he took her in the operating room. He came up with a plan on the spot. He knew what he must do, impregnate the woman. This child will be the start of his new organization. Madara gave instructions to the woman before they could restrain him,

Now when our son is born I want you to bring him here. Hehe, I want you to then hand him to a man with bandages covering his eye. Oh, and his name shall be Obito Uchiha. If you do not follow my orders I will have your whole family slaughtered, and then I will personally come and kill you. Sorry I won't be there for the birth of our son, my little lilac flower.

He said all this while chuckling, ignoring the woman's pleas and sobs. Nine months later Obito Uchiha came into this world, I was one at the time. As expected the woman fulfilled his wishes by carrying her newborn baby to the facility. A man with bandages and a cane was sitting in the waiting room. She quietly handed him over, but not before asking him one small favor

Take care of my son please, no matter who his father is, no matter how he was conceived, he is still my son and I love him.

The man with the covered eye ignored the woman and simply walked out the door hold the baby with a brown tuff of hair on his head. My cousin grew up in the same town where Madara had his rampage. Growing up into a handsome young man. He was fourteen when I rescued him. I had been staying with Pein. He and Konan had been out shopping while I was pathetically asking people if they needed work done at on their home or errands run. They overheard me asking this woman if she needed any help. They took me in and I ended up staying ever since. There were other kids my age he had adopted at his house like Kisame.

One day when I came home from school I noticed a new boy at the house. He was small and had an orange mask on his face. I later found out that it was Obito. Pein found him in ANBU Corp while on business there, the building had caught on fire and the man with the covered eye, whose name I later discovered to be Danzo, had left him in the building to die, saving himself. Pein was exiting the building when he heard screams from another room. He quickly flew to the room and opened the door to see Obito crying. The boy looked up and started running to Pein. He was halfway across the room when pieces of the ceiling fell on him knocking him to the floor. He rolled over onto his back to try to get air when a flaming support beam tore away from the ceiling and fell on the left half of his face, burning his flesh.

Pein quickly called for help as he tried to get the boy out from under the flaming mass. The firefighters finally showed up and brought Obito out with them. He was taken to the hospital on a stretcher and Pein was treated for smoke inhalation. He had to have surgery done and awoke with a disfigured face. The left side looked aged as new skin was starting to grow. Pein was cleared to leave the hospital weeks before Obito was allowed to leave, but when he was finally cleared Pein took him home that day and introduced the boy as Tobi. He and I became friends quickly despite his annoyingly childish personality. I saw him as a little brother. Every time I looked at him I always thought of Sasuke.

We were called into Pein's office one day to discuss personal matters. I learned that Obito was kin and that Madara was his father. I also learned that he was abused by Danzo as a young child. We stuck together ever since.

End Story

Itachi held onto Sakura until Pein was done with his harsh lecture. She looked up just in time to see them get hit on the head. Deidara quietly stalked off somewhere while Hidan grabbed a pillow off of a nearby couch and let out a stream of cusswords into the pillow. Itachi let me go and I gave him a short bow.

"T-thank you Itachi-san, s-sorry," I gave one more short bow before briskly walking off, cheeks flaming hotter than the fires of hell. I then came upon the kids section and started to admire the pinks and blues of the gender coordinated "rooms". I couldn't help but wish I was allowed such nice things. I quickly stopped those thoughts though, because I am now with my new family and we are here to buy nice things for me. I smiled and turned to walk off only to knock into another wall, only this wasn't a wall, again. It was Sasori and all his tan, sexy goodness. He was smirking while towering over me. He placed a hand on my head to steady me.

"You okay there Princess?" He asked. I blushed a deep, fiery red and turned my head while whispering a quiet 'no' in response. He shook his head and laughed before poking my cheek, "Wow, that's a new record, let's see if you can beat it by the end of the day, Fire truck." The redness in my cheeks only darkened while Inner scowled at the new nickname. I was about to say something, but what could I say we all know I have no backbone! Yet, Konan came to save me yet again by pulling me to the electronics ails for a TV. I picked out a simple small one but she insisted on a medium sized flat-screen. She not-so-quietly called for Hidan to come and put this in the cart as we made our way to look at beds. We went through everyone until I finally picked out a simple cherry wood sleigh bed.

Konan called quietly (ahem yelled loudly) for Pein to come over and talk to the salesman about this bed while we began our trek over to the bedding. There were so many colors and patterns. Only one caught my eye though. It was pure white with Paris and Beijing and Tokyo and London and everywhere else you could think of, printed on it in black. There were also picture of the Eifel Tower on it as well. A grin spread on my face as I touched the fabric on the display. Konan placed a hand on my shoulder and smiled, "Ahh, so is this the one?"

I nodded quickly before pulling a set off the shelf. I handed it to Konan who threw it over her shoulder, I looked behind her to see the package land on an angry looking Pein. He was walking towards us with the shopping cart. Pein looked up as he held the package, glaring at Konan who blew him a kiss. We then continued shopping for everything else I might need. The whole family headed over to the checkout line. Everyone stared at us and started whispering not so quietly about how everyone and how freaky (and sexy) they were,

"Do you see him!? He has White hair!"

"No! Look at that one his skin is blue!"

"Oh my, the tall one is so sexy though!"

"Why does that one look like a transvestite? Is he confused or something?"

"Oh today's generation is so mixed up, what a shame."

I couldn't really take it anymore. How could everyone act so calm? I mean, even Hidan wasn't saying anything! All the guys stood their glaring at everyone until Pein spoke, "Alright guys, you can get one thing! All the boys, cough cough Tobi cough cough, quickly ran towards the shelf that held the candy and chose their favorite ones. Kakuzu chose Harabo Happy Cola. Itachi chose black liquorish. Tobi chose a sucker. Sasori chose a Hershey bar. Hidan chose gummy worms. Deidara picked out some sour patch kids. Zetsu who was oddly quiet during this whole trip chose…a bloody finger. Okay then. I timidly walked up to the shelf to pick my candy out. I couldn't decide between nerds or sweet tarts. Decisions, decisions. I felt someone come up behind me and reach around me to pull out the sweet tars. "You should get these." I turned to see Sasori and his cute little smirk.

Honey, 'cute' is not the word. SEXY is more like it okay? Okay.

I mean it is a little...sexy…

Okay now say it this time, like you mean it because you are insulting his sexiness by saying it that way.

Ugh, he's pretty sexy. There happy?

Ecstatic, look here you -

Sasori snapped his fingers in front of my face to break me away from my conversation with inner.

"W-what? I'm s-sorry." I smiled while looking down, my face as red as his hair. He held out the candy to me.

"I said you should pick this one, hurry it's time to check out."

My eyes widened as I took the candy and rushed off to the checkout line. I put my candy on the conveyor belt smiling shyly at Konan who gave me a look. The cashier handed me my candy right as a hand grabbed my arm.

"C'mon, you're riding with me" It was Hidan wearing a devilish grin. I looked at him with wide eyes and a frightened expression. I've seen the way he drives. He could kill me!

"Oh c'mon Pinky I'm not gonna kill you, now bring your ass!" Hidan then proceeded to pull me all the way to his car, right past a glaring Sasori, and shocked Konan. He opened the door for me and made a gesture towards it, "Your chariot malady." I giggled and gave a quiet thank you,

Hidan buckled up and then checked to see if I was too before speeding out the parking lot. After a few minutes of driving in silence he spoke.

"So, um, Sakura, uh, what's your favorite color?" I giggled as he made a frown.

"Hey I'm trying here. I'm not good at this shit, okay?"

I nodded quickly before gathering my composure. "Well, my favorite color at the moment would have to be lilac." He nodded before proceeding to ask me more questions. They were all about my likes and dislikes. I, in turn, asked about his. I found out it's really easy to talk to Hidan. He's funny and charming. He has all the qualities I don't and so I feel that's why it' easy for me to talk to him because of that. He makes up for what I lack, and I make up for what he lacks. When we were halfway home he asked me, So, Sakura, What's your story?" I frowned for a second. I wasn't sure if telling him was the best idea…

"Sak, is it okay if I call your Sak?"

I nodded while looking at him. He proceeded to take a toothpick out from the driver's door pocket and stick it in his mouth, he chewed on it vigorously, switching it from side to side.

"Sak, everyone knows each other's stories. I know you're new to the family and all so how about I tell you mine first alright? We're family, and your my little sister, I gotta know this shit, 'kay?" He smiled and I giggled. Going back to being serious I nodded my head as he began.

"So when I was five I was raised in a temple by a bunch of crack head bastards…"

Okay if you've read this far thank you so much for sticking with me and supporting me. I want you all to know that I really do love you and welcome all of your criticism. It will help make me a better writer so please, flame away.

I love you! Please expect chapter three sometime in the next week or so!

Ja ne BB's!
