Deidara groaned, waking up to Kori crying. He knew not only he was getting fed up with Kori, but most of the Akatsuki were as well, all except Konan. Deidara couldn't figure out her patience with the child, maybe it was a motherly thing.
"Deidara! Get up and shut that fucking thing up!" Hidan yelled, pulling his pillow over his head. Hidan was the only who called Kori a "thing" or "it". It would surprise them if he knew Kori's name.
Slowly Deidara climbed out of bed, he stumbled through the dark to the crib they had some how bought (despite Kakuzu's protests). He picked up the crying baby, holding her in his arms.
Then he realized why she was crying. The smell hit him, making him turn his head away, wanting to gag. "Ohhh no." he said aloud. He didn't even know how to change a diaper. Slowly he laid her back down, looking over to where they held the diapers. He grabbed one, and began to attempt to change the poor child.
As soon as he opened the diaper, he gagged, turning away that's when he saw Konan, standing in the door way with quite an amused look on her face. "Deidara? Just move and let me." She offered.
"Thank you!" Deidara said, and almost left before Konan grabbed his arm. "Oh no, you've got to learn how."
"You're kidding." Deidara replied, eyes narrowing.
"Nope." She pulled him over, and showed him how, after they finished, both went back to bed.
The next morning, Deidara woke to find Kori gone from her crib. He sat up fast, going into the living room to find Itachi, sitting with Kori in his lap. He couldn't help but stare. He played with her for a bit, he smiled at her laughs. Suddenly, he wasn't so irritated with her.
"Having fun?" Deidara asked, going into the kitchen.
Itachi barely looked back. "Hm, yeah." he said.
They knew Kori wasn't a new born, they guessed she was maybe two or three months old. They started feeding her things like cream of wheat already. She seemed to particularly like Kisame, which of course Kisame hadn't taken quite the same liking to her. Kisame and children just don't mix.
"I fed her already." Itachi called to Deidara, who nodded and got himself something to eat.
A few months later Kori started to crawl, and she got into everything, especially Deidara's clay. She bothered Kisame constantly. Although he seemed to finally come to like her. In fact, all of the Akatsuki came to like her. Even Hidan seemed to have more patience with her.
That itself was a feat.
I honestly am torturing myself writing these chapters. I feel like I'm writing fillers... they'll be a little short until later chapters. Trying to get to the real story hahaha.
Don't own Naruto, or course not.
Thanks for reading^^
