Part 3 – Pregnancy is a bitch

Time skip – 2 months later

Zetsu's Room:
Zetsu: pokes the small mound that is his belly Hmm...
Tobi: Zetsu-san? You've been in the bathroom for almost 10 minutes. Are you okay?
Zetsu: I'm fine. walks out But my stomach is getting bigger ...
Tobi: Let me see.
Zetsu pulls up his shirt to expose his belly
Tobi: Wow, that's amazing ... I still wonder how you did this.
Zetsu: serene stare
Tobi: ;; uh, never mind

Kisa and Ita's room:
renching sound from bathroom
Itachi: groans as he wipes his mouth This is ... not normal ... stands up and looks at himself in the mirror, pale and sweaty ...I look disgusting. washes face
Kisame wonders in Hey, feeling better?
Itachi: No. I wish I knew what this was ... looks at feet ...what the ...
Kisame: Itachi?
Itachi: runs hand over belly My stomach ...
Kisame: stares, then eyes go wide Your stomach is getting bigger, but the rest of your body isn't ...
Itachi: What does that mean?
Kisame: shakes head No, it's not possible ...!
Itachi: annoyed WHAT is not possible?
Kisame: turns pale Itachi ... I think ... you're pregnant.
(Long silence)
Itachi: ...
"WWWWHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Outside base, the trees shake

Sasori & Deidara's Room:
POUND POUND POUND!
Sasori: groggily answers door Kisame, do you know what time it is?
Kisame: Yeah, it's early. We think Itachi's pregnant; can you examine him for us?
Sasori: Wha...? sleepily looks at Kisame and Itachi, standing next to him I'm not a doctor, I'm puppeteer.
Kisame: Close enough! Scoot. pushes his way in anyway
Deidara: on his own bed Danna...? What's going on?
Itachi: sitting down on Sasori's empty bed Kisame thinks I'm pregnant.
Deidara: But you're a guy
Itachi: pulls shirt over his head
Deidara: O.o Un...
Sasori: stares at the unusually round belly How did you?
Itachi: glares
Deidara: You're not asexual too, are you?
Itachi: Do I look like plant to you?
Sasori: coming closer to the bed That definitely LOOKS pregnant, but I still don't see how you could have gotten that way.
Kisame: Um...cough suppose someone used a certain jutsu to uh, "change" things?
Sasori: You used a jutsu to get PREGNANT?
Kisame: Not to get pregnant! It was just to...um, well...you know.
Deidara: I thought you were gay, un.
Kisame: Of course not! I'm bi.
Deidara: Is there a difference? You dating a
Itachi: There's a difference.

Next Door:
Hidan: hurries into his room Kakuzu!
Kakuzu: still trying to sleep Yes, Hidan?
Hidan: I think they're having pyjama party in Sasori and Deidara's room!
Kakuzu: That's nice, Hidan.
Hidan: Let's go join in!
Kakuzu: No.
Hidan: You're no fun. What are you going to do when there's a baby running around and he wants to play?
Kakuzu: Lock the door?
Hidan: This is exactly why you can never have children! You'd make a neglectful, angry father!
Kakuzu: snore
Hidan: huff, goes back into the hallway

Sas & Dei's room:
Deidara: But what kind of difference? I mean-
Sasori: Deidara, I'll tell you later. Right now can we focus on this.
Deidara: Alright comes over to the bed too woah ...
Sasori: I'm going to have to touch you, okay? looks up at Itachi
Itachi: nods
Sasori: touches the bulge, then the area around it with a frown. Finally stands up again There's no doubt about it. You're definitely pregnant, as crazy as it is.
Kisame: Woah ...
Itachi: So ... in 7 months ...
Sasori: Yup.
Itachi: And I'll be ...
Sasori: Yup.
Kisame: And I'll be ...
Deidara: Yup!
(Itachi and Kisame look at each other)

Outside room:
Hidan: I wonder what they're all doing.
(Hears a loud shout)
Hidan: O.O! What's going on here? walks inside
(Itachi is passed out on the bed and Kisame is trying to wake him up with Deidara and Sasori watching)
Hidan: What's going on here?
Sasori: Itachi is pregnant.
Hidan: ITACHI is?! But he's a-
Dei & Sas: We know.
Hidan: So then how did he-
Dei & Sas: Who knows?
Kisame: Aah ... he turned himself into a girl and then ... turns a little purple
Hidan: Awww! He did that for you? How sweet!
Kisame: Don't mention it to him if you value your life, Hidan.
Hidan: Er, right then.
Itachi: .
Sasori: You should probably tell Leader-sama about this.
Kisame: still sitting on the bed with an unconscious Itachi on his lap Yeah, probably...Think I should wait until Itachi wakes up?
Itachi: ...
Sasori: That wouldn't be a good idea.
Kisame: sigh, looks at partner's stomach
Deidara: We'll keep an eye on him, un!
Kisame: Okay, thanks. gets up, leaves
Hidan: comes to sit beside Deidara on his bed You know what this means, right?
Deidara: What?
Hidan: BABY SHOWERS!
Deidara: YEAH!
Kakuzu: in his room, rolling over in his sleep Fruits...

In the Leader's Office:
Leader: So, Zetsu, how's the baby coming along?
Zetsu: idly rubbing his baby bump Good.
Leader: Good, do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet?
Zetsu: I think it's too early for that, sir.
Leader: Right. Well...what about kicking?
Zetsu: Too early, sir.
Leader: Oh. pause
Zetsu: idle expression
Leader:...
Zetsu:...
Leader:...can I touch it?
Zetsu: Sure. lifts his shirt and let's the Leader walk over and began rubbing his stomach
Leader: still rubbing Have you thought about what you're going to do about the baby when you're on missions?
Zetsu: Not really
Knock, Knock, Knock!
Leader: Yes?
Kisame: walks into the office Sir, I think there's something me and Itachi should... pauses and stares at Zetsu's still raised shirt and the Leader's hand still stroking the mound Um...should I come back later?
Leader: ...um.

Sas & Dei's room:
Hidan: whisper wanna go wake up Kakuzu and tell him the news?
Deidara: Okay, after you explain bi-sexual to me, un.
Hidan: sits in his 'teacher' pose Basically, a bi-sexual person is someone who is attracted to both sexes. They are different from Heterosexual and Homosexual in that they don't act much different from heterosexual people, except they also don't mind the company of their own gender. Most ninja are bi, like most of the people here.
Deidara: Why is that, un?
Hidan: shrugs who knows?
Deidara: un. Now, let's wake up Kakuzu!
Hidan: Hang on, what about Itachi?
(both glance at the bed, where Itachi is still passed out)
Deidara: I guess we better look after him or Kisame will kill us.
Hidan: sighs and sits on the bed next to Itachi's feet I guess so.
Deidara: looks over Itachi's body and then the small mound at his stomach this is so weird ...
Hidan: Yeah ...
Itachi: grumbles in his unconscious state Mnh ... Kisame ...

Leader-sama's office:
Zetsu: No, it is fine. lets shirt fall down over his belly again
Leader: stands up What's wrong with Itachi and you?
Kisame: Well ... the thing is ... awkward
Leader: Yes?
Kisame: I know this is unbelievable, but Itachi's pregnant.
(long slience)
Leader: ...The hell?! How the heck is THAT possible?!
Kisame: Well, you see ... about two months ago Itachi turned himself into a woman and ... well yeah.
Leader: Yes I get it. Still ... how can Itachi remain pregnant now that he's back to normal?
Zetsu: If he became pregnant within 24 hours, the body probably reacted and hence, why he is still pregnant now.
Leader: turns to him and there's no way to reverse it?
Zetsu: I doubt it.
Leader: deep sigh Oh well, I guess we can't help it now. But seriously Kisame, ever heard of a condom?!
Kisame: splutters Would YOU ever expect this to happen?
Leader: I suppose not ...

Deidara: What do you think he's dreaming about, un?
Sasori: Something that involves not being pregnant, I'm sure.
Deidara: hovering over Uchiha Maybe we should wake him up and see?
Sasori: I wouldn't do that.
Deidara: Why not, un?
Sasori: Because he's going to be upset.
Deidara: Why, un?
Sasori:'duh' look Because he wasn't expecting to be told that he's pregnant today.
Deidara: So, how did he STAY pregnant?
Sasori: Deidara, I'm not going to explain male pregnancy to you. Wait until Itachi wakes up and ask him.
Deidara: evil grin, reaches toward Itachi
Sasori: And DON'T WAKE HIM UP.
Deidara: But danna!
Sasori: Think of something else.
Deidara: pout Okay...where did Hidan go?

In the Next Room:
Hidan: ...And then they told me that ITACHI is pregnant now too! Are you listening, Kakuzu? Now we have TWO babies coming.
Kakuzu: groggy Wait a second...Itachi's the one pregnant now?
Hidan: Yep. I wonder what religion Itachi is going to want to raise him as?
Kakuzu: grumble I wonder if he's going to raise it at all...
Hidan: glare What was that?
Kakuzu: Nothing, Hidan. So how did he react?
Hidan: Actually, I think he fainted.
Kakuzu: ITACHI fainted?
Hidan: He's still sleeping now.
Kakuzu: You didn't leave him alone, did you?
Hidan: Of course not. Why?
Kakuzu: ...no reason.

Sasori: He probably went to get Kakuzu.
Deidara: Aah, I'm boooored Danna. Tell me about male pregnancy!
Sasori: No.
Deidara: But I wanna-
Sasori: No.
Deidara: Come on danna-
Sasori: NO.
Deidara: But I want a baby, un!
Sasori: HELL NO!
Deidara: Aww ...
Sasori: Look ... it's enough with 2 being born soon.
Deidara: But how would a guy get pregnant, un? They don't have the ... stuff inside them do they, un?
Sasori: No they don't, but if you tweaked the circumstances ...
Deidara: Like, un?
Sasori: sigh like using a jutsu to make your body like a girl's.
Deidara: And ITACHI did that? looks over at the Uchiha no way, un!
Sasori: Not intentionally, I bet.
(Hidan comes back in with Kakuzu with him)
Hidan: Hey! Itachi woken up yet?
Deidara: No, he's still sleeping ...
(all look at him before going over to the bed to crowd around it)
Sasori: I feel sorry for him.
Hidan: He looks so much more peaceful when he's sleeping doesn't he?
Kakuzu: I think everyone does.
Deidara: I wonder what his baby's going to look like, un?
(They all look at each other)
Hidan: I hope it has Itachi's looks.
Everyone: Agreed.

Elsewhere:
Leader-sama: So, who is going to take of the babies while you are out on missions?
Zetsu: ...
Kisame: Maybe ... Tobi?
Zetsu: He might do it.
Leader-sama: That's an option. Well, at least we have a couple of recruits in case we need them walks off pondering Dismissed.
Kisame: walks back to Sasori's room I hope Itachi doesn't kill me for this ...

A Few Hours Later:
Sasori: talking to Kisame in the hall So, how did he take the news after he woke up?
Kisame: Honestly, I don't know.
Itachi: visible through open bedroom doorway, laying on his bed staring at the ceiling
Sasori: He's probably still in shock. His body isn't exactly designed for childbearing.
Kisame: Still, he hasn't said much since he woke up. I'm starting to get worried.
Sasori: It's probably just a little harder for him to digest the idea. He's the one that has the baby inside him after all.
Kisame: Still...
Sasori: Stop worrying, he'll be fine.
both stop when springs squeal from inside Itachi and Kisame's bedroom
Itachi: Kisame?
Kisame: leaving Sasori to peeking into the room Yes, Itachi?
Itachi: siting on bed with his hand cupping his swollen belly ...I think I want ice cream.
Kisame: Okay...
Itachi: With sprinkles.
Kisame: blink Sure, I'll get that. starts to leave
Itachi: And French fries too!
Kisame: in the hall Okay, I'll make sure to pick those up too.
Itachi: And
Kisame: stops Do you just want to come with me?
Itachi: grumble No.
Deidara: calling from inside HIS room Can I have ice cream too?
Sasori: No.
Deidara: But dannaaa!
Sasori: No, once you have ice cream, you're completely useless for the rest of the day.
Deidara: But were not even on a mission!
Sasori: That doesn't matter.
Deidara: That's not fair!
Sasori: It's practical. Remember that time you tried to blow up a woman's hat after I gave you
Deidara: Danna!
Sasori: You can have ice cream later.
Deidara: But Kisame's leaving now, um! Right Kisame?...Kisame?
Kisame: has already left

Half an hour later:

Kisame: There ya go, sits on the bed and hands Itachi the ice cream with sprinkles and French fries
Itachi: takes them and eats them by dipping the chips in the ice cream
Kisame: O.o ... Um ... Itachi?
Itachi: Mm? finishes the cone off happily
Kisame: Are you ... okay?
Itachi: ... looks away and putting a hand to his belly This is very strange ...
Kisame: I'm sorry ...
Itachi: shakes head No, we both didn't ever expect this to happen. And ... I don't think you wanted to do this to me.
Kisame: No! Of course not!
Itachi: looks over Then that's fine. We'll just have to deal with this as it comes.
Kisame: smiles slightly and nods You're taking this very well.
Itachi: shrugs I always wanted to revive my clan anyway. I just didn't expect it to be quite like this.
Kisame: chuckles Well then, it looks like we're going to have an interesting time, these next few months ...
Itachi: Ah ... moves hand over stomach
Kisame: ... slowly puts his hand on top of Itachi's Um ...
Itachi: looks over with an unreadable expression, but takes hand away and lets Kisame touch his belly
Kisame: rubs This really is amazing though ...
Itachi: I'm glad you think so.
Kisame: looks up I'll make sure to help as much as I can, okay?
Itachi: small smile, nods

Next room:
Sasori: Really Deidara, you're already trying to master that?
Deidara: reading a knitting book But you're supposed to knit things for babies, un!
Sasori: sigh When will you ever grow up?
Deidara: Un?
Sasori: ...

Deidara: Stop being negative, and help me cast off, un!
Sasori: "Cast off?"
Deidara: I'm going to start making a scarf for the baby, un!
Sasori: Why would a baby need a scarf HERE?
Deidara: Because he's cold, of course!
Sasori: We're in the River Country, Deidara. I don't think it will really get that cold stops when he gets a Stop Being Negative or You're Sleeping in the Hall look...sigh What do you want me to do?
Deidara: beams Sit next to me and hold out your hands, un!

In the Leader's Office:
Knock, knock, knock
Leader-sama: Enter.
Kakuzu and Hidan come in
Kakuzu: You wanted to see us, sir?
Leader-sama: Yes. I know it's the off season, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to cut your vacation short
Hidan: We have a mission already?
Leader-sama: Sort of.
Kakuzu: ...?
Leader-sama: A friend of mine living in the Sea Country recently sent me a message telling about a certain jutsu scroll he received recently that I think might be able to help us with our current situation.
Kakuzu: And our mission is to...?
Leader-sama: You are to go to the Sea Country and borrow that scroll from my acquaintance.
Kakuzu: So, you want us to cut our vacation short so that we can run off and be your...messenger boys?
Hidan: elbows Kakuzu's stomach
Kakuzu: gives a 'What?' glare
Leader-sama: Well, if you don't want the mission, you don't have to go. But that jutsu would have been able to help us speed up the development of Itachi and Zetsu's babies. The Akatsuki doesn't have the funds to support two children through infancy. What with clothes, and food, and diapers... But I suppose we can manage, with a few SALARY REDUCTIONS.
Kakuzu: ...Damn. --
Leader-sama: smirk See you in a few weeks.

Sasori: Holds out hands
Deidara: shows him what to do, and eventually, Sasori holds a small scarf
Sasori: Woah ... holds it up you did this all by yourself?
Deidara: Yup, un!
Sasori: Huh, you're not so dumb after all ...
Deidara: That's mean, Sasori-danna, un!
Sasori: Well, it's the truth isn't it?
Deidara: Just because of how I look doesn't mean I'm dumb!
Sasori: Fair enough, Mr. I-didn't-have-a-clue-about-gay-sex.
Deidara: sniffles you're so mean ...
Sasori: satisfied now, how do you knit anyway?
Deidara: Hmph! I'm not telling you, un.

On the mission:
Hidan: Ne, Kakuzu, are you starting to think this is getting to be more trouble than it's worth?
Kakuzu: What is?
Hidan: The whole thing about having two children running around! Going to the sea country ... it's troublesome!
Kakuzu: And you didn't think of this when you told Zetsu to impregnate himself?
Hidan: sigh I guess not ... still, It'll be so fun to watch Itachi in labour snickers
Kakuzu: O.O! You seriously think Itachi would let you watch something like that?
Hidan: evil grin Well, I can get Leader-sama to do his Video-camera no jutsu and watch like that
Kakuzu: ...baka.

Three Months Later:
Itachi: Kisame?
Kisame: is asleep
Itachi: Kisame! shakes shark nin's shoulder
Kisame: Hmm...Itachi? What time is-
Itachi: Do you still find me attractive?
Kisame: O.O ...Of course I do. Is everything alright?
Itachi: Your baby won't let me sleep.
Kisame: Ah, I see... glances over at the bedside table on his side It's three in the morning! Have you been awake all night?
Itachi: On and off. I think it's nocturnal.
Kisame: sits up and scoots closer to his weasel One of these days we have to ask Zetsu how he deals with this.
Itachi: snort Zetsu's baby is a freak that doesn't twist or kick or make him have to use the bathroom at odd hours. ( -- mood swings and frustrating sleeping hours are making him snappy...er than usual)
Kisame: Where is he kicking?
Itachi: takes Kisame's hand and slides it over his stomach to a spot under his bellybutton I think it's trying to punch a hole through me.
Kisame: It feels like he's stopped.
Itachi: Hm, just wait. The second you go back to sleep, he'll start doing it again.
Kisame: wraps his remaining arm around Itachi's waist and pulls him closer I'll stay up with you then.
Itachi: head dropping to Kisame's shoulder You better.

Meanwhile:
Tobi: Zetsu-san?
Zetsu: Yes, Tobi?
Tobi: I thought I heard something, are you alright?
Zetsu: I'm fine, Tobi.
Tobi: Okay...are you sure?
Zetsu: still laying bed Mm-hmm.
Tobi: ...Not hungry, or achy, or anything?
Zetsu: No.
Tobi: ...Is the baby okay?
Zetsu: yawning Baby's asleep, Tobi.
Tobi: Oh...okay, then.
Zetsu: rolls over and nuzzles his pillow to making himself comfortable
Tobi: still standing in the doorway Uh, Zetsu...?
Zetsu: Hmm...what is it, Tobi?
Tobi: Um, can I sleep with you?
Zetsu: Good ahead.

4 MORE months later:

Itachi: holding stomach with a wince Ouch ...
Kisame: looks over Itachi? You okay?
Itachi: Yeah ... it kicked again.
Kisame: walks over and puts a hand on his partner's large stomach Heh, I think he's going to be strong, no?
Itachi: Considering the amount of times he tried to punch a hole though me, then yes, I'd hope so.
Kisame: chuckles Well, it's almost over, isn't it?
Itachi: Nearly.
Kisame: nods
(A few hours later)
Itachi: gasps, then doubles over
Kisame: Itachi! runs over and then puts a hand on his back What's wrong?!
Itachi: opens one eye I think ... its-aah! winces again
Kisame: Quickly, transform, it'll make some of the pain go.
Itachi: trembling slightly, holds up hand, and transforms part of his body into a female's Okay ...
Kisame: We need to get you into the room Leader-sama set up carefully picks his partner up Lets go!
Itachi: grabs Kisame to glare, but winces again, and decides not to comment

Meanwhile:
Hidan: Hey Kakuzu! Quick!
Kakuzu: What is it now?
Hidan: Itachi is in labour! Come on, lets go help him out!
Kakuzu: Do we have to, it's bound to be really weird.
Hidan: Come ON! grabs him and drags him along
(They pass Sasori and Deidara, who join in)

Zetu's room:
Tobi: Zetsu? How long now?
Zetsu: It wont be long.
Tobi: Should I make preparations?
Zetsu: There is no need. I don't need all of that stuff like normal people.
Tobi: O-okay, Zetsu-san ...

In the Hall:
Sasori: walking a little faster to tap Hidan's shoulder What's happening?
Hidan: Itachi's water broke!
Deidara: Un? How does that...work for a guy, un?
Sasori: ignoring Deidara Has anyone told Leader-sama?
Hidan: ...Someone should probably do that.
Sasori: You go tell him, Deidara and I will go help him.
Hidan: Why do you get to go with Itachi?
Deidara: Because he's the doctor, un!
Hidan: He's a puppet maker.
Deidara: Close enough!
Kakuzu: stops, turns, and pulls on Hidan's jacket Come on, lets just go.
Hidan: grumbles, but complies
(Both start down the hallway in the opposite direction and pass Tobi)
Tobi: What's going on?
Hidan: Itachi's in labor.
Tobi: gaps as Hidan and Kakuzu disappear down the hall, then turns and runs into his bedroom Zetsu!!

Elsewhere:
Itachi: grimacing Oh god...!
Kisame: What's happening?
Itachi: clutching his stomach It's trying to...kill...grits teeth me!
Sasori: to Kisame Is he going to be able to hold that form through birth?
Itachi: pained growl
Kisame: I'm not sure. It's better to have him like this during the contractions though.
Sasori: pulling up Itachi's shirt I might be able to cut the baby out.
Kisame: I'm pretty sure Itachi would rather have it naturally.
Sasori: stare You're talking about a MAN giving birth.
Itachi: growl/pant Which one's faster?

In the halls:
Tobi: Oh god oh god oh god! running towards Zetsu's room What if he's in pain?! What if he needs help! ZETSU-SAN!
(Door opens)
Tobi: stops Zetsu-san?
Zetsu: Walks out holding a bundle in one arm Yes, Tobi?
Tobi: O.O ... You've ... already ... had yours?!
Zetsu: nod
Tobi: peers into the towel to see a replica of Zetsu, except more feminine and no plant It's a girl?
Zetsu: Yes.
Tobi: Wow ... what are you going to call her?
Zetsu: Hana.
Tobi: Nice! We better go and see Itachi, maybe you can give him tips?
Zetsu: I suppose he would be having troubles?
Tobi: I think so.
Tobi and Zetsu walk off

Leader's office:
Hidan: Leader!
Leader: Knock when you come in.
Kakuzu: Itachi's in labour.
Leader: I know. holds up video camera no jutsu screen I'll go now. It's probably better if everyone else stays clear. Itachi is bound to be aggravated.
Hidan: O-okay ... disappointed

Elsewhere:
(Sasori and Kisame look at each other)
Kisa & Sas: Natural I think.
Itachi: growls and winces As long ... as I get this ... damn-ah! brat out I don't care!
Sasori: Okay then ... flipping though book It says here that you have to be dilated 10cm before you can start to push the baby out.
Itachi: So how the hell ... far ... am I?!
Voice: About 8cm. You've got 2cm to go.
(Kisame & Sasori look to see Leader peering between Itachi's legs)
Itachi: heat rises to face You PERVERT! kicks Leader-sama in the face
Kisame: O.O!
Leader: rubs nose Nice to know you appreciate the help. glares
Kisame: I DONT think Itachi is used to something like this, you know!
Itachi: Just get it ou-AAAH! trembles as contraction hits and he grabs Kisame's hand
Sasori: Itachi, just try to relax as much as possible, alright?
Itachi: nearly breaking Kisame's fingers Nnn-fine! If it'll end this sooner!
Kisame: trying not to wince in pain

In the Hall:
Hidan: ...it's just not fair! Deidara and Sasori get to see the birthing, and Sasori wasn't even interested in it until Deidara kicked him into caring! Why can't Leader-sama make HIM stay away?
Kakuzu: Sasori has a better knowledge of the human body than you do, Leader-sama probably thought that he was a more practical choice
Hidan: But DEIDARA is still in there
Farther down the hall: Un?
Hidan: stops Deidara?
Deidara: Hi, un!
Hidan: What are you doing out here?
Deidara: pout Leader-sama kicked me out when he arrive, un! He said I might make Itachi nervous!
Hidan: What? Why would you do that...?
Deidara: That's what I said!
Kakuzu: not listening to the others as he keeps walking down the hall

Meanwhile:
Itachi: How much longer is this going to take?!
Sasori: Patience, Itachi. You're still not at 10 cm yet.
Itachi: growls and clutches Kisame's now faintly purple hand
Kisame: mouths the word "Owch" over his partner's head toward Sasori
Zetsu: behind Kisame How is he feeling?
Kisame: jumps When did you...? glances toward the floor behind him, where Zetsu's are just finishing stepping out of the ground Never mind.
Itachi: Where did your baby bump go?
Zetsu: Tobi's watching her.
Itachi: YOU ALREADY HAD IT?!
Zetsu: Yes.
Itachi: Wh-when...AHH!
Sasori: He's almost there now. peering between Itachi's legs
Zetsu: Hm. comes to take a look
Itachi: Yes, let's all look at my vagina! growl

In the Hall:
Hidan: Hmmm, oh well, I guess we'll have to wait until it's born before we can see it.
Deidara: I wonder what it'll look like ...?
Kakuzu: suddenly puts hand over mouth MPH!
Hidan: Kakuzu?
Kakuzu: I ... don't want to know ...
Deidara: Hey! Kisame isn't that bad looking you know!
Hidan: I bet he was really cute as a kid
Deidara: Hehe, I think so too!
Kakuzu: ... you two are loonies ...

Meanwhile:
Zetsu: Okay, Itachi, I need you to take a deep breath.
Itachi: What?! Why would I-
Zetsu: It'll make this easier.
Kisame: stroking Itachi's hand Just try it, okay?
Itachi: glares ... takes a deep breath
Zetsu: Now let it out slowly.
Itachi: does so, and feels the pain ebb a bit ...
Zetsu: Just try and relax as much as possible, and then concentrate on pushing the baby out.
Itachi: tries this Nn ... grabs Kisame's hand as another contraction ripples though his body, though not as painful Okay, what next?
Sasori: You're at 10cm now.
Kisame: Wow, what a difference!
Zetsu: At the next contraction, start to push it out.
Itachi: Okay. waits for a moment before it hits, then starts to push
Sasori: I can see a head!
Itachi: Ngh! Now what? pant
Zetsu: When the next contraction hits, push again. Repeat until the baby is out.
Itachi: nods

Outside the Birthing Room:
Deidara: So un, if he looks more like Itachi, you do my share of the dishes, right?
Hidan: And if he looks more like Kisame, you clean the toilets for me.
Kakuzu: You're betting on it?
Hidan: Why not? I hate that job.
Deidara: Me too. Soap tastes awful, un.
Kakuzu: looking at Hidan Are you even allowed to gamble?
Hidan: glares
Voice: AHHH!!
Deidara: jumping up Was that it?!
Kakuzu: No. grumble It came from down the hall.
(All look down the hall to see Tobi running toward them)
Tobi: hysterical She bit me! She actually BIT me!
Deidara: What?
Tobi: waves one hand in the air I was just playing with Zetsu's daughter, and then suddenly she gabbed my hand a BIT me! Look, she got through my glove!
Hidan: Zetsu's already had his baby?
Tobi: Yeah. catching his breath from running down the hallway screaming She's down the hall.
Deidara: YOU LEFT AN INFANT ALONE?!
Tobi: I'm bleeding!
Deidara: She might fall off something! Un, or smother herself! D:
Tobi: But
Hidan: Kakuzu, go watch Zetsu's baby.
Kakuzu: No.
Hidan: Kakky, you heard Deidara, she might hurt herself!
Kakuzu: Then you go.
Hidan: But you're not doing anything!
Kakuzu: Neither are you.
(Door opens behind them)
Zetsu: Leader-sama wants to know why you are all yelling at each other out here.
Tobi: elbowing past Hidan and Deidara Zetsu! Hana just tried to bite off my finger! Look!
Zetsu: blinks slowly, grabs Tobi's hand, and pulls off the glove to examine it; licks the blood You're going to need thicker gloves. It tastes good.
Tobi: Z...Z... gaps
Sasori: from inside the room Zetsu! It's happening, close the door!
Itachi: Ahh, ahh...!
Zetsu: turns around and starts back inside, closing the door behind him Hold your breath, Itachi.
(Door closes)
Deidara: Un, well...I guess we'll see the baby soon then.
Hidan: Yeah... turns to Tobi So, what do you think the baby will look like?
Tobi: ...Zetsu-san said I taste good. grinning idiotically under his mask

In the room:
Zetsu: Okay Itachi, push as hard as you can.
Itachi: Nnnaaah! pushes as hard as he can
Kisame: cringes as Itachi almost breaks his fingers
Sasori: Two more pushes should do it!
Itachi: pants a bit, then pushes again Hhn!
Zetsu: Here we go, peers between Itachi's legs again almost there.
Kisame: How much more now?
Sasori: Just one to go.
Itachi: nods, then pushes one last time Aaah!
Zetsu: He's out!
Sasori: goes about cutting the umbilical cord and wrapping the baby up
Itachi: flops against the pillow, letting the henge go and going limp
Kisame: Itachi? wipes his forehead with a cloth
Itachi: Looks over with half closed eyes
Kisame: now holding the bundle Sasori gave him Do you want to hold him?
Itachi: ...looks over Mm .. okay takes the bundle Woah ...
(Baby has nearly black hair with pale skin like Itachi's, and Itachi's eyes, but Kisame's gills and obvious strength.)
Kisame: can't hide his grin As unexpected as this is, I think I could get used to it.
Itachi: I just want to sleep ... brushes a lock of hair out of the baby's face But I suppose he needs a name.
Kisame: Have you got one in mind?
Itachi: nod Akasahi. (Meaning red rising sun)
Kisame: wide grin Sounds good!

Outside:
Hidan: Do you think he's given birth yet?
Kakuzu: I don't know. I doubt I want to go in there yet anyway.
Deidara: I hope so!
Hidan: Kyaa! I hope it's a cute baby!
Deidara: I nominate you as the uncle, un!
Tobi: I'm already an uncle. Kind of.

In the Hall:
Deidara: Hey! Kakuzu, didn't we tell you to go watch Zetsu's baby?!
Kakuzu: I never said I would do that.
Hidan: pushing him down the hall Doesn't matter. Go.
Kakuzu: grumbling What about Tobi?
Tobi: BLEEDING!
Deidara: pushing Tobi aside We'll send him down once danna takes a look at his hand, un.
Hidan: Until then, make sure Zetsu's little girl doesn't hurt herself. makes shoo-ing motions
Kakuzu: grudgingly starts walking down the hall, muttering to himself about lazy blonds who don't do anything

In the Birthing Room:
(Sasori has Itachi's blanket folded over his midsection and is still examining Itachi now male lower body)
Leader-sama: How is he?
Sasori: It doesn't look like his body's emptying out anything extra out, but I would have preferred it if Itachi had kept up the henge a little longer.
Zetsu: The act of giving birth would leave anyone drained.
Kisame: looking over from beside Itachi's bed Was it painful when you did it?
Zetsu: unblinking Incredibly.
Itachi: AHH!
Kisame: turning back quickly What?!
Itachi: He has your teeth. holds up one finger with several pink, but not bleeding points around the tip, then nods toward Akasahi
Leader-sama: He already has teeth?
Zetsu: Some clans develop teeth before leaving the womb.
Leader-sama: ...And of course, you would know.

In Zetsu's room:
Kakuzu: grumble Bloody Hidan and Deidara. Why would they send ME of all people to look after a newborn? Rr.
Hana: stares up at the new visitor
Kakuzu: ...Okay kid. I aint changing your nappie or anything of the sort, so too bad if you need to.
Hana: stares some more
Kakuzu: And quit staring like that!
Hana: starts to cry
Kakuzu: Oh great... facepalm
(Nappie is the Aussie term for a diaper, however it's spelt)

In the hall:
(Door opens and Leader looks out)
Leader: You can come in now if you're quiet.
Deidara: Okay, un.
(Tobi, Hidan and Deidara enter. Itachi is resting while Kisame is nursing Akasahi)
Kisame: looks up Hey!
Deidara: Ooo! takes a peek Aww! He's so cute! And he looks more like Itachi! Haha, I win the bet, un!
Hidan: smacks forehead Raa! I should've known!
Kisame: You two bet on something like that?
Deidara: Well, there was many possibilities on what he'd look like, so of course, un!
Kisame: smirks heh. Fair enough.
Akasahi: starts crying for food
Kisame: Woah ... what now?!
Sasori: He's probably hungry. Normally the mother would breast feed him, however ... looks at Itachi
Everyone: ...
Kisame: ... nudges Itachi Um, Itachi ...
Itachi: opens eyes up What is it? tired
Kisame: You, uh ... need to feed him ...
Itachi: Eyes widen Y-you mean-?!
Kisame: Uh, well ...
Itachi: HELL NO! sits up and backs away
(Everyone looks at each other)
Zetsu: fixing Tobi's hand You could try feeding him by bottle. That's how I'll have to do it.
Leader: Can you prepare one?
Zetsu: Nods I'll do it now.
Leader: I brought some milk power ... talks to Zetsu as they walk out
Hidan: So what should we do with a crying baby?
Deidara: Try to keep him quiet, un?
Kisame: rocks him awkwardly Uh, I'm not good at this ...

In Zetsu's Room:
Hidan: coming in from the hall Kakky, we only left you with her for a second!
Kakuzu: blinks toward the door That was fast.
Hidan: I've developed a innate sense of knowing when you're doing something wrong. walks to the bed and picks up the baby, who immediately stops crying in favor of staring at the new stranger
Tobi: also stepping in from the hall Uh...actually, he was walking back.
Hidan: And coming to see our newest little cannibal. snuggles the baby I don't know what you were getting so worked up over earlier, Tobi. She doesn't even have any teeth.
Tobi: grumbling as he strokes his bandaged hand She did when I left.
Kakuzu: So, when is Leader-sama going to use...THAT jutsu?
Hidan: Tomorrow, maybe. It's probably better if we let the babies get their strength up before jumping ahead with it.
Tobi: Excuse me?
Hidan: Leader-sama is going to skip over Hana and Akasahi's infant stages.
Kakuzu: Mainly for financial reasons.
Tobi: Um...do Zetsu and Itachi know?
Hidan and Kakuzu: exchange a look Um...

Down the Hall:
Itachi: You're going to WHAT?!
Leader-sama: Itachi, think about it! Can you imagine how impractical it is for a group of highly wanted criminals to be raising INFANTS?
Itachi: You're talking about shaving years off my baby's life!
Leader-sama: It's safer. You're going to be going out on missions again once you're recovered, and you can't very well take Akasahi with you.
Kisame: But are you sure that the jutsu's safe?
Leader-sama: Of course. My acquaintance is an expert medic-nin.
Itachi: I still don't like this...
Leader-sama: We can't afford to buy enough formula for two infants. It's either this or breast feeding.
Deidara: standing on the other side of Itachi's bed, feeding Akasahi Un...he just bit through the nipple.
Itachi: unconsciously crosses arms a little more protectively over his chest ...clears throat When exactly were you planning on preforming the jutsu?

Zetsu's room:
Tobi: Someone might want to tell Zetsu-san about this. I don't know how he will react to this.
Hidan: Now that I think on it, yeah ...
Zetsu: walks in tell me what?
Kakuzu: Uh ...
Tobi: Leader-sama is planning on doing a rapid ageing jutsu on Hana and Akasahi. Did you know that?
Zetsu: No, I didn't. I'll speak to him now. heads out
(all sigh in relief)
Hidan: He took that better than expected.
Kakuzu: Thankfully. I doubt Itachi would be the same ...

Elsewhere:
Leader: It will need to be preformed as soon as possible. It will age both of the children to the age of 5, and after that, they'll age more slowly until they reach 10, and after that, normally. Luckily, the jutsu imparts the education the child would normally receive at that age, but as for ninjutsu, that'll need to be taught.
Kisame: I can see the reasoning behind it, but has it been tested?
Leader: Yes. Several people have tried it in villages that are heavily threatened and produced great results.
Itachi: glares I still don't like it.
Zetsu: phazes in What is this about ageing Hana?
Leader: As I explained, it will age the babies rapidly so they'll be at less risk while living here. I doubt either of you want them killed.
Deidara: Un, if I might add, if we get attacked, then they wouldn't stand a chance.
Itachi: grits teeth ...
Kisame: Who will be preforming the jutsu?
Leader: I will be.
(everyone looks at him)
Leader: I managed to master it with the help of my acquaintance's directions. It will be preformed tomorrow.
Itachi: glares still If Akasahi is harmed, you will not live to tell the tale ... passes out
Kisame: Itachi! looks over him
Sasori: He's exhausted. It's probably best to let him rest.
Kisame: Nods, then picks him up carefully I'll take him back to his room. It'll probably help.
Deidara: I'll carry Akasahi, un! follows Kisame out

In Kisa n' Ita's Room:
Deidara: So, just put him down anywhere, yeah?
Kisame: laying Itachi down on his bed Sure, I'll pick him up in a minute. starts pulling back the blankets around Itachi
Deidara: lingering by the baby So, un, is he going to be okay with what the Leader is planning?
Kisame: now tucking Itachi in With the jutsu? Yeah. I'm not crazy about zipping through Akasahi's childhood, but it's more practical than having them grow up the normal way. Especially given who the...mother...is.
Deidara: Un, didn't think about that.
Kisame comes over to pick up Akasahi, Deidara meanwhile goes to examine Itachi
Deidara: Un...what about recovery?
Kisame: What about it?
Deidara: How long do you think it's going to take him to go back to normal, un?
Kisame: confused Normal?
Deidara: pokes Itachi's chest That.
Itachi: growls warningly in his sleep
Kisame: What...? OH! Well, you already heard Itachi say he's not doing the breast feeding thing. The swelling should fade away in a week or two.
Deidara: Won't it be painful, un?
Kisame: I don't know. Maybe
Deidara: I wonder what it tastes like, un!
silence
Akasahi: chews on Kisame's offered finger
Kisame: Deidara...I think it's time for you to go to your own room.
Deidara: Un?
Kisame: Go on.
Deidara: Awwie ... walks out
Kisame: Phew ... smirks at Akasahi's teeth You've got a mean bite as well.
Akasahi: chews happily
(Kisame sits by Itachi's bed and strokes his hair)
Kisame: Probably better if we all got some rest ...
(Sets Akasahi in Itachi's arms and climbs into Itachi's bed to curl behind him)

Elsewhere:
Zetsu: I agree with the ageing process, so long as it's a perfected jutsu.
Leader: It is.
Zetsu: nod Alright. phases out
Leader: sigh
Sasori: You honestly didn't think they'd be protective?
Leader: Zetsu? Yes, Itachi? Not in a million years.
Sasori: I guess he still has some humanity.
Leader: From what I heard, him and Kisame have ... bonded a bit over the past year.
Sasori: I don't really want to think about it --;
Leader: smirk And you lost your virginity to Deidara.
Sasori: LEAVE ME ALONE!

Zetsu's room:
Tobi: Now, Hana, don't bite me this time!
Hana: giggles happily
Tobi: glare I'm glad you're happy.
Hidan: snickers Poor Tobi.
Kakuzu: counting his money for entertainment

That Evening:
Itachi: rolls over in his sleep and curls up around Kisame
Kisame: Hmm...pulls Itachi closer
Akasahi: left out and tries to reach after Itachi, but can't; starts crying
Itachi: sits up, suddenly awake What's that?!
Kisame: blinks Wha...? Hm, crying... rolls over and tries to go back to sleep
Itachi: scoops up Akasahi I forgot he was there.
Kisame: Me too. pause, still half asleep Is he okay?
Itachi: Yes, I think he's hungry though.
Kisame: Ah...
Itachi: jabs him I need you to go get him some formula.
Kisame: What?
Itachi: Kisame, wake up!
Kisame: nuzzling his pillow Hm?
Itachi: kicks him

Meanwhile, in Zetsu's Room:
Deidara: So Zetsu, un, don't you need to put Hana to bed?
Tobi: siting with Deidara on Zetsu's bed with Hana between with them It's getting a little late for a baby.
Zetsu: She'll be fine.
Tobi: Aren't you tired? You just gave birth a few hours ago...
Zetsu: No, I'm alright.
Deidara: So, un, did it hurt?
Zetsu: More than you can imagine.
Tobi: pales under his mask
Deidara: Oh. And are you recovered, un?
Zetsu: Mostly.
Deidara: What about breast milk, un?
Tobi: O.O
Zetsu: pats chest It will fade off after awhile. It wouldn't be a good idea to breastfeed Hana.
Deidara: Why, un?
Tobi: Because she's already tasted blood. glances at sinister baby girl
Hana: giggles

KisaXIta's room:
Kisame: Owww ...
Itachi: Go get some! glare
Kisame: Alright, alright ... gets out of bed and goes to find some
Itachi: ... looking at Akasahi How ... am I supposed to look after you?
Akasahi: snivelling but calming down
Itachi: sighs and rocks Akasahi gently I'm not used to all this gentle stuff.
Akasahi: calmed, begins to drop into a dose
Itachi: ...strokes baby's cheek and smiles slightly
(Kisame comes back in with a bottle and a container of formula)
Kisame: smiles Aww, you two look sweet.
Itachi: Huh?! cheeks show a tinge of pink I do not!
Kisame: chuckles Sure you don't. sits the formula by the bed for easy access, and hands the bottle to Itachi There you go.
Itachi: takes the bottle and pauses ...how?
Kisame: Put a bit of milk on the teat and then he'll probably drink it.
Itachi: How on Earth do you know that?
Kisame: smirk I asked Leader.
Itachi: ...I don't want to know now. lets Akasahi take the bottle and starts to feed him
Kisame: watches them both and grins You really shouldn't deny that you two are sweet together.
Itachi: hisses Shut it.

Zetsu's room:
Deidara: Un ... will she be a carnivore like you, Zetsu?
Zetsu: Yes. That is probably why she bit Tobi.
Tobi: mutters I wish I had of known this beforehand.
Deidara: Well, it's fairly obvious!
Kakuzu: looks up Zetsu is the parent. Of course Hana's a carnivore!
Deidara: True, un.
Tobi: glares then sighs Are you trying to say I'm stupid?
Zetsu: No, just oblivious.
Tobi: TT

Later that Night:
Deidara: Hey, danna!
Sasori: is fixing an older puppet on his side of the room Yes, Deidara?
Deidara: Have you seen Zetsu's baby yet? She's adorable, un!
Sasori: still fiddling with his puppet No, I haven't seen her yet. Leader-sama has kept me busy coordinating everyone's mission schedule so he won't be left completely alone with the children.
Deidara: We're going to get to babysit?
Sasori: A few times, yes.
Deidara: We're going to need gloves then, un.
Sasori: Why do you say that? Akasahi's teeth are sharp, but he hasn't show any aggressive tendencies yet.
Deidara: I didn't mean Akasahi, un.
Sasori: Hana?
Deidara: Yeah, un, she almost bit Tobi's finger off today!
Sasori: Deidara, I believe we've already had the conversation about exaggeration.
Deidara: It's true, Sasori! He came in to have it bandaged, remember?
Sasori: I must have been busy.
Deidara: What are you talking about? He was screaming like a pansy, un...

Across the Hall in Zetsu & Tobi's Room:
Zetsu: Stretch I think I need to use the bathroom.
Tobi: Do you feel nauseous?!
Zetsu: No, I just need to use the bathroom.
Tobi: Oh.
Zetsu: Please watch Hana until I get back.
Tobi: Okay...
(Zetsu leaves)
Tobi: So, Hana, how's your first day of life going?
Hana: blinks up at Tobi, then reaches for him
Tobi: Aw, you want to be picked up? Okay, just keep your mouth to yourself.
Hana: giggles as she's picked up
Tobi: So far so good. starts bouncing her gently Now, I wonder how long your daddy's going to be gone. He hasn't fed, or changed, or done anything for you yet. Maybe you're family's a little weird...
Hana: gurgles up at him as she grabs onto one of his offered fingers
Tobi: Careful with that.
Knock, knock, knock.
Tobi: goes to answer the door, carrying Hana with him
Kisame: Evening, Tobi.
Tobi: Hi, Kisame.
Kisame: Sorry to bother you this late, but do you have any extra formula? Akasahi's already eaten through all ours.
Tobi: Already?!
Kisame: Yeah. ; Looks like he has a big appetite, that or he's trying to wear Itachi down to breast feeding him. Can he borrow any from you?
Tobi: Sure. Wait here. turns to go get the formula We're probably going to have extra left over, actually. Hana doesn't really seem to be much of a...OW!!
Kisame: What?
Tobi: whirling around, still holding Hana on one arm but barely missing smacking her head against the wall SHE BIT ME! AGAIN!!
Kisame: Again?
Tobi: holding his hand in front of his face And this was my good hand too! She got me right on the joint! I can't bend it now! Look, LOOK!!
Kisame: I'm sorry? starts backing away
Tobi: TT And she doesn't even have teeth!

In Kisa and Ita's Room:
Itachi: Did you get the formula?
Kisame: It looks like we'll have to wait awhile. ; Tobi's kind of...worked up at the moment. .
Itachi: But I don't want to put him to bed hungry...
Kisame: Well, you can always try feeding him the normal way.
Itachi: glares The word "normal" does not belong in this base at all.

Sas & Dei's room:
Sasori: I still don't recall.
Deidara: ... Danna.
Sasori: ...what?
Deidara: I think you're getting on in your years.
Sasori: ...meaning?
Deidara: jumps up YOU'RE SUFFERING FROM SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS!!
Sasori: O.o ... Deidara, I am not-
Deidara: Oh no! What if he forgets that I'm his partner next?! Or that he's a puppet?! Or that-
Sasori: DEIDARA!
Deidara: ... Yes?
Sasori: If I tell you I remember will you shut up?
Deidara: Yes?
Sasori: Then I remember. Now shutup and go to sleep.

Zetsu & Tobi's room:
Zetsu: comes back Tobi? Are you alright?
Tobi: sob Hana bit me again ;
Zetsu: bandages it up for him Hana seems to like your blood.
Tobi: glares at baby Yes, but I wish she wouldn't try to get a taste all the time.
Zetsu: I'll feed her now. Picks Hana up And I still don't understand how she could bite you. Her teeth aren't even developed yet.
Tobi: growls I bet she GROWS them, just to bite me.
Zetsu: If you say so. prepares formula, and then sits with Hana to feed her Do you want to sleep?
Tobi: blush Y-yeah, okay …

Kisa & Ita's room:
Kisame: Well ... scratches head
Itachi: ... sighs ... I'll give it a go, but that's IT.
Kisame: Okay, want my help?
Itachi: rock killing glare
Kisame: ...I'llllll go and check on Tobi again ; walks out
Itachi: (Okay ...) holds Akasahi up to his chest Uh, go ahead.
(After much fiddling around, Akasahi is sucking contently)
Itachi: ...well, this isn't SO bad, I guess, if a little tingly.
Akasahi: bites lightly
Itachi: cringe Be. Careful. Dammit!

In the Hall:
Deidara: Hey, Kisame, un!
Kisame: Deidara, what are you doing out here? It's late.
Deidara: Sasori's working on something delicate, un. He asked me to find something to do out here.
Kisame: Same here.
Deidara: Un?
Kisame: It's not important, Itachi just wants to be alone when Akasahi breast feeds.
Deidara: cringe Ow.
Kisame: Yeah, well, it's probably going to be the only time he does it. Tomorrow, and all
From inside the room next door: No, no, no! You're not even trying to be nice! Do it again!
Kisame: ...was that Hidan?
Deidara:...Yeah.

Inside Hidan and Kakuzu's Room:
Hidan: siting on his bed with a sock puppet over one hand Do it again!
Kakuzu: also siting on the bed with a hand puppet Do we have to do this? I'm tired, I want to go to bed.
Hidan: Yes we do! Tomorrow we're going to have children running around the base, and I won't have you emotionally scarring them.
Kakuzu: grumble ...going to scar you if I don't get to bed soon.
Hidan: What was that?
Kakuzu: Nothing.
Hidan: Alright then. Now let's start again. clears throat 'Hello there, Uncle Kakky!'
Kakuzu: gives the sock puppet a What-the-hell-am-I-doing? stare Don't call me Kakky, damnit.
Hidan: That's not what you're supposed to say.
Kakuzu: ignoring him Where did you get these puppets anyway?
Hidan: I raided Sasori's sock drawer, now can you please participate already?
Kakuzu: This is completely foolish.
Hidan: Par-tic-I-pate. glare
Kakuzu: Fine. moves puppet 'Hi, I'm Kakuzu.'
Hidan: happily acts the part 'He-hello mister ...'
Kakuzu: ... sigh This isn't working.
Hidan: facepalm Kakuzu, you are stupid.

Knock, knock, knock

Kakuzu: glares come in.
Kisame: walks in with Deidara What in the world are you doing?
Hidan: Teaching Kakuzu some manners before tomorrow.
Deidara: With Sasori's sock puppets, un?
Hidan: Yes!
Everyone: ...
Kisame: sigh I think its time we all went to sleep ... walks out
Deidara: Sasori's gonna kill you, Hidan, un ...
Kakuzu: turns to a faintly blue Hidan You DID realise that didn't you?
(From the halls, there is a shout of bloody murder)

A little while later...

Ita & Kisa's room:
Kisame: knocks Itachi? Are you done? Itachi?
Itachi: Yeah, come in ...
Kisame: walks in and walks over Are you alright?
Itachi: lying on bed with Akasahi curled up in his arms Yeah, just really tired.
Kisame: sits down I don't blame you. How is he doing?
Itachi: Fine ... I think he's finally full.
Kisame: Heh, unfortunately I think he inherited that from me. I've always had a big appetite.
Itachi: glare You're lucky he didn't bite me, or I would kill you.
Kisame: ; Sorry!
