"What the hell was that about Allie?" Zaki said when they were out of ear shot.

"That my dear was my Ex Husband!"

"What?! How many Shinobi have you slept with you said you used to be married to Itachi!" Zaki stopped dead in her tracks.

Giving an exhausted sigh Allie explained, "You heard me wrong. Itachi was just a kid I remember hanging around. I grew up with that Gai that…MAN we were child hood sweet hearts. He is, he is, he is the most, the most, unreliable selfish idiotic, imbecilic selfish horrible, vain dumb unreliable selfish ugly jackass I have ever, EVER known! Did I mention he was selfish and unreliable?" Zaki's godmothers asked in a tizzy, Zaki had never seen her that way before.

"Yes twice with unreliable and 4 times for selfish if you count vain as a synonym for selfish." Zaki explained.

"Well you know if I knew more words to describe how HORRIBLE that man is. I would! I would call him satin but that would be a compliment!"

"Oh wow he sounds horrible," Zaki commented sarcastically getting a cigarette out of her pocket.

"Zaki! I'm serious I do NOT want you hanging around that man, he is bad news. I mean you think your mother is bad with broken promises, that man, well you can't trust him with anything!" Allie was yelling at her now.

"God I get it, I barely got a hello in before you two had your little scene!" Zaki defended herself. "I probably will never see him again." Allie kept her hands on her hips staring at her god child. "And If I do I'll spit on him and call him names!" Zaki said crossing her heart. "Promise."

"Come on lets get going I think I have a lead on your mother, she checked into a rehab across town."

"Really?" Zaki rolled her eyes; this has not been the first time Sara played this stunt.

"Yeah, oh and what ever you do, DO NOT MENTIONS GAI TO YOUR MOTHER!" Allie commanded.

Yamato had told the other two to wait for him at the training grounds; he had to talk to Gai. "What the hell Gai?" Yamato said. "You were married to THAT WOMAN! Did you have a brain aneurism or something, because seriously why did you let that go?" Gai gave him the scariest stare he could have ever imagined.

"Oh yes she looks very touchable! But belie me IT IS NOT WORTH IT! Not worth it what so ever, she is the most traitorous bitch I have ever come in contact with. She will suck your soul dry!" Gai exclaimed.

"How do, I mean how did you two even meat?" Kakashi asked every one at the bar was baffled. Gai, Married what the hell?!

"We grew up together, my best friend was in love with her best friend then we met, I thought it was love. So when we were 15 we ran off and eloped, by age 18 she was screaming at me and throwing a frying pan at my head and telling me to get out. But that back fired on her, I just discovered my youthfulness."

Silence followed that comment, nobody knew what to say.

"She lit all my clothing on fire, and I had to change for the Jounin test the next day. And all I had was the money in my pocket and all I could afford was the Green jumpsuit of love and the legwarmers of truth. I became a Jounin that day" Gai described, Kakashi looked like he wanted to burst out laughing but controlled himself.

"So you started wearing jumpsuits because they were the only thing you could afford at the time of the divorce?" the grey haired nin asked.

"Well by the time the whole thing was over the outfit had become my trademark and I couldn't just abandoned my trade mark could I? Did you know that bitch wanted alimony of my Jounin checks?!" Gai asked his chest heaving with indignation.

"Well I got to go train with my team…" Yamato said trying to get out of this very awkward conversation. "c ya guys later…"

"Allie we are heading toward my house." Zaki said, not in the way of the rehab.

"Yeah she is packing up her stuff, so she can stay there for a while," Allie gave her god daughter a side long look. "Maybe she is serious this time."

"That what she said last time! This time won't be any different." The girl snapped taking a long drag of her cigarette. "God fuckin fags or horrible, Max has been getting that really cheep brand" She commented throwing it to the ground.

Zaki's heart did a loop and then started sinking. It was her mother, she was happy to see her, right? Her mother was a waif of a woman, thanks to her drug habit. Her eyes were the same color hazel as Zaki's. But her's were dead, again thanks to the drugs. Her hair was a chestnut browns a couple shade's darker then Allie's mouse brown hair and about a foot longer. She wore a black long sleeve shirt with a v neck and skinny jeans. Extremely gaunt looking. She was sweating a little. Gulping she smiled at her daughter. "Hi darling."

"Hey Sara, so what place you heading too this time?" Zaki asked her trying to sound hopeful failing miserably.

Twitching and shaking her head side to side Sara scratched at her left arm ferociously "Now Honey, Do-don't look at me, like that. I try my hardest really I do, but I, but it's, but I,…ITS going to be different this time honey. I-I- promise."

Zaki didn't look at her mother, "Yeah I know mom, I don't doubt you. What do-do you want me to do for you. Do you need groceries, money, clothes?" Zaki came closer to her mother to take her arms like a mother would a child.

Giving a nervous giggle Sara looked back at Allie. "Can you gi-give me some along time wi-with my daughter?" Allie stood there not glaring at Sara but giving her a blank stare. "GOD FUCK YOU BITCH JUST CAUSE YOU AND ZAC WERE BEST FRIENDS DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO RUN MY LIFE YOU FUCKIN WHORE!" Sara screamed, Zaki rushed toward her mother to calm her down.

"There, there now Sara, Allie just wanted to help," Cooed Zaki holding onto her mother. Sara shot her god mother a look of pure daggers, Allie shrugged and turned around. "now what is it you want to talk to me about?" Zaki asked her mother.

"Well-I was just going to tell you how, how better its going to be after –after all this is over. I promise, Your father,"

"That man is NOT my father!" Zaki interrupted losing her caring tone.

"WELL my husband, Milton, who has just been clothing us and feeding us and protecting us for the past 7 years, has said that he might get a promotion at work, you know that factory job. And-and once I get out of the center, we-we-we will have enough money to get out of here, Doesn't that sound nice?' Sara said fiddling with her sleeve. Zaki didn't respond she had heard that before too many times. "I know, I know I haven't been a good mother to you, I mean you…"

"You're practically all grown up, living on your own. Being a shinobi, your, your father would be so proud of you. Being a shinobi, it's the ONLY ticket out of this hell hole." Sara continued grabbing her daughter by the arms and shaking her. "Don't give up you can get out of here! No No we will get out of here, together and we can be the family we always wanted. Isn't that nice dear?"

"Yes, its great Sara now is that all you want us to talk about we should be getting to sign you in to the rehab."

"Oh silly me, thinking about all this stuff I forgot to tell you I wanted to give you something. It's a photo album of when I was young. IT has all of us, when we were I don't know 17ish. It's been such a long time. But yes there are a lot of pictures of your father; I just want to give you this before. Well before I go into the rehab." She handed her a small booklet. Different Polaroid's sticking out from here and there. Zaki stared at her mother.

"I thought, you had burned everything of his…" Zaki was dumbfounded not wanting to touch it, just in case it might fall in half. It looked so old and tattered fragile.

"Well I thought so too, but I found this. In the addict," Sara was holding it like it was an angel. And to Zaki it was.

"There are some, some embarrassing photos of all of us. Some where were not fully clothed you can, throw those away." Zaki's mother told her. The grey haired girl didn't know what to do.

"Thanks,"

"Well I got to go now honey. I'm meeting somebody from the rehab center in a few minuets. They told me to go alone." Zaki didn't look convinced. She was clutching the photo album to her chest. Sara hugged her daughter close. "I love you." She then turned around and started walking away.

Zaki looked down at the photo album in her hand. "I love you too…mom" she whispered.

Kaida snuggled with Yo in her families' bed. Her father was still working in the living room. Her mother was brushing her blue hair gently besides the bed. "Are you asleep yet darling?" She asked her daughter.

"No. Mommy could you tell me, a story?" She asked her mother sitting up. She wore one of her father's old shirts as a night gown. Kaida had Yo in her arms. "I want to here about the daimyo's daughter and the wondering minstrel."

"Oh you have heard that story hundreds of times." Her mother sighed putting the brush down on the bed.

"but I really like the story!"

"Yes please tell it." A voice interrupted from behind her. Kin turned around and smiled a small red haired man with glasses Her husband Lido.

"Honey shouldn't you be working, according to the hokage that is an extremely important text." His wife scolded him.

"Ah for this story my love, I would stop the world to hear." The red head told his wife sitting next to her taking her hand lovingly and kissing it. "Now please tell it."

Kin gave Lido a loving smile. Kaida looked at her parents; their eyes were burning with something so tender. Her eyes couldn't comprehend it. "Well, about 10 years ago their lived a daimyo's daughter who lived in Suna. She wasn't extremely pretty."

"She was extremely beautiful," Lido interrupted his wife who was blushing a little.

"I'm telling the story here honey." Kin scolded. "Well she had been engaged to another boy, his name was Baki (1). He was a perfectly nice boy, always wanting the best for the village he lived in. He was also a very talented Shinobi. The Daimyo's daughter was engaged to him. Despite trying though she could not fall in love with him. It wasn't anything on his part, he tried and so did she. She tried to tell her parents, but they assured her that love grows over time."

"The marriage was not the only reason she was unhappy," Lido interjected again.

"No, no it wasn't, the Daimyo's daughter felt that she could do more for her people then just be the wife of a Jounin. She wanted to go down to the slums and actually help them, but her parents said it was un lady like." Kaida smiled at her parents, her favorite part was coming up. "The wedding of Baki and the princess was coming nearer, people were all over. So the princess decided to sneak out and get some air. While she was out in the crowd she stopped to watch a wondering minstrel on the street. Now the Minstrel was extremely talented he sang, dance played the fiddle like nothing else was there. The bard impressed the Daimyo's daughter so much she decided to ask him to play at her wedding. After the crowd had thin and he was packing up she decided to talk to him."

"She was enamored with his dashingly good looks."

Kin shook her head and laughed, "No she was extremely disappointed that he was so short. But any way, she asked him to lunch to talk about the wedding and see if he would stick around. They didn't talk about the wedding at all they talked about life and things they liked and disliked. How they felt. And by the end of the day, the daimyo's daughter was head over heals for the minstrel."

"I can assure you the Minstrel felt the same exact way about the princess." Kaida's father added smiling at his wife.

"Well in the week following the princess went to go see the minstrel every singly day, and every singly day the more she fell in love with him. By the day before the wedding the Daimyo's daughter had accepted her feelings for the poor pauper. That night when she had resigned herself to the fate of marrying a perfectly nice respectable man but to all her trying she could not love him. She loved her minstrel who sang to her. Well that night just as she was going to bed she heard tapping on her window. She looked down and her heart missed a beat. It was her Minstrel, her love, her life. TO her surprised he confessed his love to her and asked her to come off and eloped, and with out giving it a second thought she said yes. And so the wandering Minstrel and Daimyo's daughter lived Happily ever after." Kaida's mother concluded.

Kaida looked at her father who had sighed heavily, "Well as happy as the minstrel could provide." He commented, Her mother reached out and took his shoulders.

"The daimyo's daughter couldn't be happier." She said to him before kissing him lightly. "Now Kaida its time to go to bed." Her mother said turning and tucking her in.

"Good night mommy! Good night Daddy!" Kaida yawned before going to bed.

Keiji washed the dishes that night with his grandmother. His grandpa was out on the porch. "Grandmother, may I ask you something?"

"Yes of course, what is it you want to know?"

Keiji fumbled with the towel in his hand. "Well, how come you or grandpa never talks about my father? I mean you talk about my mother. But I mean who is my father?" His grandmother stopped what she was doing.

"Well, that's because we don't know who your father is. You see your mother went on a mission for a long, long time. They were going to declare her dead but she came just in time, pregnant with you. She never talked about it; she just said that it had been consensual. That's all, why so curious?"

"Well-well, I don't know I was just thinking, because you know I get the hair color from her. But I don't know she had green eyes, I have well yellow ones. She looked delicate I'm like a tree trunk. I just want to know more about everything I guess…"

"Well that's enough of that." His grandfather said. Giving him the warning look. Keiji looked down at the plate in his hand.
