Arohi healed Sooner's arms the best she could. Putting one of Sooner's arms around her neck she stood up. Arohi smiled at Sooner, Sooner sighed saying. "Sorry." Arohi shrugged.

Kyten and Akari raced over to Sooner and Arohi. "What now mommy?" Kyten asked.

"We're going for a little trip." Arohi simple said.

"Okay." The girls squeaked.

"Question first, who's the stranger?" Akari asked.

"Oh…well this is Sooner, your…uh father's…old friend." She stuttered.

Two days later…

Sooner sat up sore. The girls were asleep. Arohi in between the little ones, Kyten on the right and Akari on the left.

'Why am I so tired? We'll be in the Rock village by tonight and I'll be on my way back to the Akatsuki hideout.' He tried to stand, he just barely made it, moaning he stumbled forward.

"You should rest it's not even dawn." Arohi whispered.

Sooner turned his head quickly to look at her, his neck popped slightly. "Ahh" He quietly moaned.

Akari rolled over talking in her sleep. "Daddy come back, don't go."

Sooner chuckled. "Kids, you like having them?" They look a lot like you and Kakashi."

"They're lovely to have. If Akari had gray hair like you and Kakashi, you want to know who she'd look like?" Arohi slowly and carefully got up. She set two bags under the girls' heads.

Sooner looked down slightly. He grabbed a bag with some food in it.

"Hold on." Arohi sat him down.

"What?"

"You shouldn't work your arms so much."

Sooner sighed as Arohi fed him like child.

There was a giggle. Sooner looked behind Arohi.

Kyten sat where she once slept. A large smile planted on her face.

"Kyten please wake your sister and the we'll eat and be on our way." Arohi asked.

On their way, there were few detours, until some one snatched Kyten and Akari, then someone snatched Kyten and Akari, then someone shoved Sooner into a boulder, tying him there with chakra ropes.

Arohi attacked the first unfamiliar face she saw. The person she fought stabbed her in the gut, then slashed her arm with a sword.

The person began beating and fighting Arohi. Sooner did the best he could to get out, but failed.

"Akari what are you doing?" Kyten yelled.

Akari kicked the man that held her. Kyten got the idea and swung her legs and the hit the man.

"Haha, you kids are weak."

Arohi charged at the swordsman, she bit thumb and did a series of hand signs. A black tiger appeared.

"Attack girl." Arohi ordered.

They won; Arohi was all beat up and Sooner barley stood. Kyten and Akari helped them along the path they traveled.

The rain poured, drenching travelers. "How much further?" Arohi asked Sooner.

"Not far, just go over that ridge." Sooner began walking in a different direction.

"You're no going the rest of the way with us are you?"

"Nope, you ladies have a good trip. And besides I can't go in there I've got too many depts. That I can't pay off."

Arohi nodded. "I understand, girls give the man a hug good bye."

Kyten walked up and wrapped her small arms around him. Akari followed after. Kyten looked up and said. "Bye-bye Uncle Sooner."

Sooner looked shocked, he didn't say anything, he just walked off.

Akari waved tiredly, her black usually spiked hair was down soaked dripping water, the rain still fell. Kyten's gray hair was soaked her small pigtails drooping.

Arohi's black and blue hair was tied up in a ponytail that drooped. Her eyes weary and flittering to stay open. The cuts one her leaked out blood, the rain dripping in cleaning them out.

The girls watched as the man left into the dark woods only lit by the stars and moon, Sooner didn't look back, he just kept on going.

"Well girls let's get going." Arohi picked Kyten up and sung her on her back giving her a piggyback ride. Then she picked up Akari and carried her normal.

In the Rock village the family found a hotel to rest at. "Mommy are you okay, are you going to make it?" Kyten asked.

"Yes sweetie I'll be fine." Arohi patted Kyten on the back. "Akari what are you doing?"

Akari stood in the doorway, the door left open. She watched two other travelers enter their rooms.

The two travelers wore straw hats with streams of white cloth hanging down; they wore black cloaks with read clouds on them.

Akari watched them. One of them shot a look in her direction. Akari dodged into her family's room. 'Who are they?' She thought jumping on the bed next to Kyten.

"Girls stay here, I'm gonna get us some food, okay?" Arohi finished bandaging some wounds.

"Okay." The sisters said in unison.

Arohi left, locking the door.

Akari rolled off the bed and ran to the window, outside the window is a ledge that ran along the whole building. Akari opened the widow and climbed out.

"Akari what are you doing, come back." Kyten chased after her.

Akari and Kyten pressed their bodies against the wall. It was still dark and raining, nothing but Akari's shinning crimson eyes showed in the darkness of the night.

Akari scuttled to the window that belonged to the room next to theirs.

"Akari come back here. It's too wet to be climbing around."

"I'll be fine, sis." Akari kept going.

"Akari." Kyten said again.

Akari reached the window she poked her head up and looked in. Inside were two figures wearing black coats with red clouds. One of the figures had orange hair with peircings on his face. The other had blue hair with an origami flower in her hair.

The male, the orange head, looked at Akari, his eyes were red, and they had circles in them. He started moving towards her.

Akari's eyes widened, she stepped back, once more she stepped back, she fell off the ledge. She didn't scream she didn't do anything but fall.

The man that scared Akari ran towards the window now, he opened it.

Kyten ran over, she slipped on the wet ledge and slid off.

He closed the window and walked back to his bed.

Akari hit someone who just came out of the hotel. Kyten then fell on Akari.

"Shizune get these brats off me." The lady snapped.

Shizune helped them up. "What were you kids doing?"

"NOTHING." They said in unison, trying to hold back a laugh.

The lady they fell on stood up. She glared at them then looked at Kyten closed, the Akari. "What's your names?" She said sweetly.

"I'm Kyten and this is my twin sister Akari." Kyten introduced them.

"Do you have a last name?"

"Hatake." Akari said.

"Who are your parents?"

"Arohi and…" Kyten began.

"Kakashi." Akari butted in.

"Do you girls want something to eat?" Shizune asked.

"Our mom's getting us dinner." Kyten explained.

"Oh well can you take us to your room, we are supposed to meet with your mom." Tsunade said.

Akari nodded. "If you help one of us up, back onto the ledge then they can unlock the door."

"You go." Kyten elbowed Akari.

"Kay, but first can someone help me up?"

Shizune grabbed Akari and lifted her up.

"Thank you." Akari scrambled the rest of the way up.

Kyten pulled the two medic ninjas into the hotel leading them.

"Why did we just let a 4 year old go on a ledge?" Tsunade asked Shizune.

"I don't know." Shizune whispered.

Akari looked back into the window with the two travelers in it. They weren't there but their things were. Akari pushed herself away and to her window; she climbed in.

Kyten sussecfully led them to the room the door was thankfully unlocked. They walked in. "Akari?"

"BOO!" Akari jumped out from behind the door, scaring her twin and the Shinobi with the door.

Kyten tackled Akari, when Akari got loose; she chased her around the room.

Tsunade and Shizune sat on the bed and watched the two girls. 'These girls hardly seem 4, they must take after their father a lot. I wonder what they'll be like when they are older!" Shizune thought.

"Sooner, where have you been, you're late." The Akatsuki leader, Pein snapped.

Sooner stood silently. After several moments. "Continue, please." Was all he said.

"I shall." Pein began. "The tails in the rock village has moved. I suggest that that we stay back. She has several other Shinobi traveling with her. Keep a low profile, but keep an eye on her. Zetsu be sure that no one gets to close."

"Yes sir." Zetsu's light half said.

Arohi opened the door; she had three Benton boxes. "I'm back, is everyone okay?"

"Yep." Kyten said.

Arohi removed her shoes, she noticed two extra pairs of shoes. Arohi cautiously walked out of the hall. "Lady Tsunade, how did you know where we staying?"

"Your daughters fell on me."

Arohi glared at them. "And just how did that happen?"

Kyten looked at Akari. "It was Akari's fault."

Akari glared at Kyten. "I wouldn't have fallen if you destroyed me."

"Destroyed, do you mean distracted?" Arohi corrected.

"What mom said." Akari snapped.

"They were climbing on the ledge and fell." Shizune explained.

Arohi sighed. "Do you want something to eat?" Arohi asked.

"No we just ate." Shizune said. Tsunade watched Akari and Kyten glare at each other.

Sooner flopped down leaning against a wall, panting and moaning. The rain finally lifted and the Akatsuki meeting over.

"Sooner are you okay?" Konan asked walking over to him.

"I'm…" He winced. "Fine." Thankfully the Akatsuki coat covered his arms completely, even his fingertips were two inches away from the seam of the sleeves.
