"I can't believe I'm doing this!" To say that Aya was tired was a total

understatement. She had been walking all morning through the Forest of Death.

She was completely lost and she was just about ready to die. She huffed, leaned

against a tree, and closed her eyes. She breathed slowly for a few seconds to calm

herself and then opened her eyes again. She gasped as she found herself looking

into large swirling eyes but she was not scared. She knew who it was. She smiled

brightly and attacked the man into a bear hug.

"I missed you so much, aniki." Pein laughed and hugged her back.

"I missed you too, Aya. But, how did you figure out I was your brother?"

"It was just a lucky guess you know. Same eyes and you looked too young to be my father."

When she finally pulled away she realized that they were surrounded by people

wearing long black clokes with red clouds. Her face wrinkled. These people really

needed a lesson in fashion. Seriously. Then, Pein spoke.

"Everyone, this is my sister, Aya. I expect her to be treated with the upmost respect and to not be harmed. If the contrary happens you will answer to me."

They all nodded. Aya smiled uneasily feeling all eyes in the area on her. Suddenly a man with an orange mask came up to her.

"Oh my gosh. Aya-chan is adorable. How can you be Pein-sama's sister you're too

pretty." Pein tensed. Aya laughed out loud. Tobi hugged and kept chanting cute,

cute, cute, cute. When he finally let go she they both realized that they had both

been left alone. Tobi squealed and proceeded to drag Aya after the others until

they were right next to Pein. Then, he introduced her to everyone. Everytime

someone was mentioned they would either nod or look at her blankly. The only

one who smiled brightly at her was Deidara.

"So, Aya what do you think of art."

"Well, I think art is whatever you want it to be as long as you love it and feel a deep connection to it." Deidara smiled.

"I like you." Surprising the redhead called Sasori looked at her and smirked.

"I think we will get along well too." Aya giggled and kept talking to them about art

until she was dragged away by Tobi. Again.

"Aya-chan we're here! You're going to stay with Tobi because Tobi is a good boy!"

Aya giggled.

"Tobi will take Aya to her room now."

"Okay."
