~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~three years later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Konan walked into her room and swore softly. Her clothes were all over the floor. Again.
Slightly agitated, the woman exited the bedroom and walked down the hallway, heading straight for the living room. Sure enough, there were the culprits behind the mess in her room.
Tenshi, Ahato, Boom, and Amaifuyu were playing dress-up in the living room, each clothed in an outfit pilfered from the blue-haired woman's closet. "Guys, how many times do I have to tell you?" she asked gently, crossing the room to the children. "If you want to play with my clothes, ask first."
"We're sorry Auntie Konan," Ahato and Boom quietly said in unison.
"Hn," Tenshi added, already pulling off the dress she was wearing.
"Amaifuyu, you don't have to wear dresses with the girls, you know that, don't you?" Konan asked, feeling sorry for the poor boy.
"But I feel pretty!" he protested.
Fortunately for Konan, Sasori walked into the room at that moment. Instantly the twins' bright blue eyes lit up. "Danna!" the redheads squealed, rushing to their father.
"Do you have any idea how wrong it is for your daughters to call you danna?" Konan asked with a smirk.
"I can't make them stop!" Sasori explained in an exasperated tone. Deidara's nickname for the Akasuna had created an unforeseen problem when the girls began speaking, and now they knew the redhead as danna.
Sasori bent down and hugged the girls, kissing them in turn. "I've told you two, I'm daddy, understand?"
"Yes danna!" they replied with smiles on their faces.
"You two are lucky you're so cute," he muttered, picking up Ahato and grabbing Boom with his free hand. "Now come on. Dei-Dei wants to say goodbye before he leaves on his mission." Moments later the redheaded trio had left the room, with Konan, Tenshi and Amaifuyu remaining to clean up the mess.
"This sucks," Amaifuyu muttered, squinting as he kneeled down, fumbling about to pick up the clothes on the ground. A fact that both Konan and Tenshi had noticed over the past few days.
Frowning, Konan kneeled down in front of the boy, while Tenshi continued the clean-up. "Amaifuyu, how many fingers am I holding up?" she asked, sticking two digits in his face.
"Um…three. No, four! Wait, dammit…yeah, four."
Sweetie, you need glasses," Konan stated.
"The hell I do!"
"Language," Tenshi said, folding the last dress and setting it on a pile of clothes to her left.
"What's wrong with glasses?" Konan asked. "They'll make you look cute."
"Glasses are expensive," the boy argued, magenta eyes flashing.
"If you can't see, you can't grow up to be a ninja," Tenshi stated firmly.
"But I wanna be a ninja!" the boy protested.
"Then we're going to get you some glasses," Konan said firmly.
"Daddy's gonna kill me," Amaifuyu murmured sadly, sitting on the floor as tears came to his eyes.
"Not if I can help it," Konan said, a reassuring smile on her face.
"I'll go with you and help pick them out," Tenshi promised.
"Promise?" he asked with a sniffle.
"Yes," the Uchiha child replied.
"Hey, anyone seen Amaifuyu?" Hidan asked, walking into the room.
Everyone froze as the zealot caught sight of his son, reclining on the floor in a bright orange dress.
The masochist blinked, then sighed and crossed the room. "Amaifuyu," he began, kneeling down by his son, "that dress is not your color. You got your Jashin-damned father's skin color, so you're better in green and light blue. Clear?"
Meanwhile, the female twins had been carried into the entryway of the house, only to discover that Pein had delayed the blonde's departure time by a few hours. The two were now playing in the kitchen with Heki and Hakushi, under the semi-watchful gaze of Sasori.
It is important to note that while the girls got along swimmingly, the twin boys were another story altogether. Heki and Hakushi could barely be kept in the room for five minutes without finding something to fight about. Currently, that something was a someone; poor little Ahato.
"She's my friend!" Heki said, pulling on the girl's arm.
"No, she's mine!" the blue-haired boy argued, yanking on her other arm. A tug of war ensued, with Ahato caught in the middle.
"OWWW! Danna!" she whined, hoping Sasori would come to her aid.
"Stop fighting, or I'll tell your mommy that you two won't play nice," Sasori growled to the boys. His threat was ignored, and the male twins continued to torment his daughter. "Alright, that's it," he said, rising from his chair at the table.
Before he could even move one step, though, Boom came flying past him. "Get off her!" she commanded. Sasori watched as she leaned back, a poorly formed bird in her hand, and then threw it at the boys.
Wait, poorly formed bird-
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Sasori's eyes widened as his jaw dropped. Half the counter had been blown to kingdom come, and all four children were somewhat singed. Boom and Ahato were giggling happily, while Heki and Hakushi clung to one another, trembling in fear of the redheads.
Finally, Sasori spoke. "Oh Deidara," he called out loudly, "Come here and see what your, "little firework", just did!"
