Chapter 2

Painful Realizations

The next morning was quiet for half of the household had left to work while the other half stayed at home and watched Espio and Pein. Pein appeared to have recovered fully from the incident in the hospital room but Espio still coughed up blood every few hours or so. Pein's worry for Espio was growing every time Espio ran out of the room.

"I had practically taken care of him since he was born." he explained to Sakura that evening, when she questioned this. "I feel like a father to him..."

That night Pein lay next to Espio, who was getting worse, all color had left his face and his breathing was heavy. Pein's face showed nothing but worry until he desperately needed to use the restroom. When Pein came back, he was holding the door in his hands.

"Um...I kinda...uh...broke the door to the bathroom...." he explained to the room and Sakura groaned.

"Now how are we gonna get dressed???" she complained.

"I just opened it and it fell off its hinges!!!" he defended desperately but Sakura shook her head.

"Your fixing that..." she muttered as he glowered at her and left to fix the door. He came back to find Galaxina whispering about him.

"Goodness he could be superman, taking doors off its hinges!" she was exclaiming and Pein glared at her, silencing her. He laid down at everyone's feet, seperated from every one else until Sakura put her feet in his "area" and started kicking lightly, making him groan.

"Stop that!"

"I'm boooored..." she complained and continued to kick him.

"Your hitting my...lala land as you call it." he growled at her but she simply smiled at him. Then she started kicking even harder, making him groan louder in pain. "Dude, help!"

Espio grinned a little.

"Nah, I don't feel like it." he said lazily, chuckling a little. Pein glared at Sakura.

"STOP KICKING ME THERE!" he finally yelled, and she finally stopped. Galaxina laughs a little, holding onto her Gaara as he held his arms around her waist. Silver rolled his eyes.

"C'mon, you guys have been dating for a year yet the most you've done is made out in a bathroom!" he snorted, Galaxina and Gaara glared at him.

"How would you know?" Gaara asked angrily.

"..." Silver stayed silent,looking at the ceiling.

"Exactly,so shsut your fucking hole!"Gaara growled at him.

"Gaara!" Galaxina yelled, but couldn't help but smile. Galaxina grabbed the water bottle from the window sill, taking a large drink from it.

Pein began to sit up when sakura groaned, "Aww! Now I can't kick you there!"

"I'll do it for you." Galaxina said happily, then takes the water bottle and slammed it down with all her might.

"OH GOD!!!" Pein yelled in pain, falling over, clutching his "area" or as Sakura puts it, his "Lala Land".

"I think you broke it!!" he howled while everyone else just laughed.

"That's serious shit right there.." Ren grumbled.

"Espio help me! I think it's broken!" Pein cried to him.

"I can't! I'm laughing to hard!" Espio wheezed, then he lifted Pein back up against the wall.

"I didn't know you can break it. Didn't think there was a bone down there.." Espio laughed.

"Yeah,you can break it, I've seen it brother broke his once skateboarding." Sakura said through giggles.

Then she looked back at Pein and asked, "Want me to rub and make it better?"

"What the fuck?! You better not touch her Pein! I'll murder you!" Ren yelled, pointing an accusing finger at him.

"I don't think I broke it, I didn't hear a snap." Pein said, looking around him, then glaring at Galaxina.

"Sorry." She said with a smile.

Sakura then started to climb onto Espio, (A/n not like that you little sickos!) laying her head on his legs, and making odd noises.

"Meow!!" Sakura acted like a cat, getting really close to Espio's face, her eyes once again large.

"Don't make noise." he ordered, and all went silent after she nodded. Sakura pulled out a piece of orange hair,staring at it weirdly, then giving it back to Pein.

"Did you give him a BJ or something?!" Ren asked, very concerned. Sakura quickly shook her head. Then he got even more worried and just stared at his little sister, asking, "Why are you so quiet?" Then as her answer, Sakura pointed at Espio.

"Oh, you told her to don't make noise, so she's totally silent." Galaxina stated. Sakura then lifted her hand to her own mouth and acted like she was locking a lock. Galaxina then, practically attacking her, tried to get Sakura to open her mouth. Then Sakura threw the key out the open window.

"Will you go get the key Espio?" Galaxina asked.

"No." He said bluntly.

"Ren?"

"No way, I'm tired."

"Pein?"

"..." he just groaned.

"Never mind..fine then..TOBI!!"

"Yes?" Tobi jumped out of the closet fully naked.

"AAHHHH!! I'm BLIND!!!" Galaxina yelled, looking away with Sakura. "Put some pants on!"

"Ok! Tobi will go get some pants!" He went back in the closet and came back wearing black sweats.

"Good, now go get the keys that Sakura threw out the window."

"Ok!" He jumped over the bed and went flying down the two story window. When he came back up his fist was in a ball, holding the imaginary key. "Here you go!" He said happily.

"Thank you." Galaxina said, then unlocked the lock on her mouth, but only to have Sakura lock it again and shove her fist down Pein's throat.

"TOBI!" Galaxina yelled,he came back out.

"What?" He asked, hoping to get back to his "activities" in the closet.

"Get the key again, it's down Pein's throat."

"What? No..get away!" Pein yelled,putting up his hands defensively.

"Ok!" Tobi said cheerfully, unbuttoning his pants and walking towards him.

"What the hell are you doing,Tobi?!" Galaxina yelled, while Sakura tried hard,and I mean HARD, to hold in her laugh.

"Tobi is gonna get the key,like you asked Tobi to do."

"I meant with your hand!" Galaxina exclaimed.

"But that's boring!"

"Just do it!"

"Fine.." Tobi walked closer to the bed,where Pein was sitting.

"Hold on! I'll get it myself! just back off Tobi!" Pein yelled, lifting his foot and putting it on Tobi's chest to keep him from coming any closer.

"Okay!" Tobi trotted off and back into the closet. Pein acted like he put his hand down his throat, and grabbed the "key", unlocking Sakura's mouth.

"Hey!" Sakura yelled after being unlocked. She stared in anger as he dropped the "key" back into his mouth. Thus causing her to tackle him and once again shove her hand down his throat.

Please R & R! Thank you!
