"What else can I do, un?"

Amaya thought for a moment. "Deidara, you can sleep in my room."

Deidara looked up from his pillow and everyone stared at Amaya. Was she asking Deidara to SLEEP with her?

"You can use my bed. Me and Maddy'll share one. We don't take up much room." She smiled

I guess not.

"A-are you sure, un?"

"Of course!"

"Hey, Danna?" Maddy tugged at Amaya's cloak

"Yes, Maddy?"

"What does 'fucking' mean?"

After two hours of washing Maddy's mouth out with soap and giving her lectures about 'bad words' by Deidara and Amaya

"Now do you understand to never say those kinds of words again?"

"Yes, Danna."

"Hey, Amaya, un?"

"Yeah?"

"Where's your eye patch?"

"…Pein's office. Why?"

"Well… I was just wondering… um why does your eye look like Leader's? And why did he want to see you?... and why don't you call him Leader like everyone else, un?"

"Well… Pein is…my…brother."

"Brother?! And you didn't tell me this sooner, why?!"

"Cause."

"Cause isn't a goddamn answer!"

"Danna, what's-"

"Bad word."

"Oh. Deidara-san is a bad boy…"

"Why didn't you tell me?!"

"I guess it just slipped my mind…"

"…Amaya those things shouldn't slip your mind." Deidara was now calm again. Amaya was thankful for that.

"Well sorry, Deidei-kun."

"Eh."

"Leader-sama is your brother?"

Amaya, Maddy, and Deidara looked to see Itachi standing in the doorway.

And so after much explaining to the other Akatsuki members…

"Are you fucking serious?!"

"Language, Hidan, un."

"You're really the Bastard's sister?" Hidan was obviously ignoring Deidara at the moment…

Amaya sighed. By now she had learned she'd never get Hidan to curse any less let alone cut it cold turkey.

"Yes, Hidan. Pein is my older brother." she said

"That's…unexpected…" Sasori stated. He had come out of his room after fixing his arm.

"Yeah. Who would've thought any of us besides Itachi-san had living relatives…?" Kisame asked

"Not us." Both Zetsu's agreed

"So now what?" Kakuzu asked, obviously bored of talking about this subject

"I guess tomorrow I'll talk to Pein. Right after I take care of something… but it's late and it's a certain eight-year-old's bedtime…" Amaya said

Of course she meant Maddy. And of course Maddy didn't want to cooperate.

"But, Danna!"

"No ifs, ands, buts, or what ifs. Time for bed."

"What bifand?"

"And combining the words won't make a difference."

"Damn it!"

"Maddy!"

"…Sorry, Danna…"

"OK first wash your mouth out. Then bed."

"Awwwww!"

"Now!"

"…Yes ma'am…"

"Good. And I'll make sure you do it."

Amaya led Maddy to their room and into the bathroom.

"Aww, but how am I supposed to dilly dally?"

"You're not."

It took and hour to finally get Maddy to bed

Amaya walked into the living room where most of the Akatsuki was seated. They were all doing their own things. Itachi and Sasori were reading, Deidara was making something out of clay and making a huge mess, Hidan was praying, Kisame was eating, Zetsu was fighting with himself about some kid named Tobi, and Kakuzu was paying the bills and mumbling about why the Amekage had to pay taxes and bills and such.

Deidara looked up from his clay. "Can I ask you a question, Amaya?" he asked

"Sure, Deidei."

"What was it you had to do, un?"

Amaya hesitated. "Drop Maddy off in Konoha."
