Chapter 42: Papa Don't Preach


TIME SKIP TIME!!!! WOOH!!!

Thats right folks, it's time-skip time! Mei is now 7 years old, Chibi-oro is 8, and Karin's twins are 6 almost 7.

I kind of copped out on the twins' names. I had a long list of the different things I could name them but I the end I settled on Aki and Ueno. If there are some clever fangirls out there you might notice that Aki and Ueno(like sono and Seiji) are from Sensitive Pornograph.

Also, I've drawn Mei and the twins, and will put them on my deviantArt account as soon as I can(my username is *surprise surprise* KeikoPanda102). I have a colored pic that I drew with MY NEW TABLET I GOT FOR XMAS!!

Ehem... but that pic is of Mei when she's older. I have a non-colored one that shows her when she's younger... but yeah. I didn't draw Chibi-oro. Just picture young Orochimaru with glasses. P.S. I'm not the best artist. At all.

Thank you for reading with me this far! I have a general idea how the ending is going to play out but it's sketchy and could change so I'd just like everyone to go with the flow! Thank you!


"Daaaaad!" Mei yelled as she ran crying to Hidan, Aki and Ueno following close behind her.

"Jashin dammit what now!?" Hidan replied in an annoyed tone.

"W-we were playing in the kitchen and-"

"Oh come on! I told you that was stupid!" Hidan interjected.

Mei pouted and continued, "There was a knife and it was shiny and-"

"Jashin... what'd you cut off this time?" He instantly reached into his pocket and pulled out a roll of gauze.

She held out her hands. Hidan ignored the many scars already adorning her small fingers and focussed on the one bleeding profusely. Once he cleaned it off he could see that it was a fairly small one. He wrapped it up and she smiled.

"Thanks Dad!"

"Go play outside for once, damn."

She scowled a little and wouldn't meet his gaze as she muttered. "I- I don't like it outside..."

"Why the hell not?" he asked curiously.

"Nothin'..." she muttered then turned and ran off, instantly followed by Ueno and Aki.

"Don't mind her, Hidan. She's just at a weird age. The other day Orochimaru told me that he was ashamed to be a clone. They don't mean it, they're just learning." Kabuto explained.

Hidan's glance was not entirely believing as Kabuto nodded to him in a creepy motherly way. Hidan then looked away to mutter,

"Or maybe he's as smart as he looks and he knows he's a freak of nature."

"I resent that." a small voice said from his left. "I am 94.23 percent sure I am smarter than you are, but I do not believe I'm a freak of any kind."

Chibi-oro nudged his glasses up his nose some more while staring Hidan up and down with contempt. Suddenly Kakuzu came behind him and hit the back of his head. Chibi-oro almost fell to the ground as Kakuzu smirked at him and said,

"Don't be a smart-a-lick or no one will ever like you. What happened to you, kid? When you first got here you were so nice."

"I grew up!" Spat Chibi-oro. He then looked nervous and growled, "Sensei, I don't understand why you, who is one of the most talented surgeons in history, are with this moronic-"

"Orochi, don't insult my wife."

Chibi-oro seethed. "But Sensei-"

"Try being normal once in a while, you might find out that you really like some of the 'stupid people'." Kakuzu said sharply.

"Fine..." Muttered Chibi-oro as he sauntered away.

Kakuzu turned to pull Hidan into his arms smoothly. He leaned down, kissing his neck as if he hadn't seen Hidan in ages and he wanted to get all of him that he could. Hidan smiled contentedly, letting himself be embraced. He was used to his affectionate mate by now.

"Don't pay much attention to Orochi, he is too smart for his own good. I am trying to teach him to be better." Kakuzu said.

"Were you like that when you were younger?" Hidan asked playfully.

"Yes." Kakuzu replied with a smirk. "But I hadn't met you."

On the other side of the room Suigetsu and Naruto made barfing noises as they heard Kakuzu's cheesy line.

"Do you not like romance? Maybe I should quit being nice to you?" Sasuke asked with a raised eyebrow. Naruto pouted a bit then couldn't help but let his bright smile return to his face.

"It's just funny how much Kakuzu's changed. He used to be such a hard-ass, un!" Deidara added as he plopped down next to them on the couch.

"Speaking of people changing..." Suigetsu muttered with a gleam in his eye. "You are a completely different person from when I first met you, Sasuke."

"No I'm not." Sasuke said flatly then sat down next to Naruto.

Suigetsu and Naruto, who had grown to be very good friends, exchanged rolled eyes at the dark Uchiha's reply.

On the other side of the room Mei walked up to Chibi-oro and patiently waited for him to look up from his book before asking,

"How come you never play with me anymore, Oro?"

"I have to study." he replied.

"Why?" she frowned at him.

He sighed. "Because I need to become smarter. When I'm 18 I can get out of this place and make something of myself, you should think about that too."

"But that's so far away. Why can't you study later and play now?"

"Because-" suddenly Ueno came behind Chibi-oro and stole the glasses right off his face. Ueno giggled then proceeded to run off with the glasses. Chibi-oro ran after him angrily but soon found himself face-first on the floor after being tripped by Aki. As they laughed at Chibi-oro trying to get back up, Mei walked over to them and pushed them both onto the ground.

"See how it feels?" She yelled at them.

They both looked shocked then finally Aki cried, "But we weren't being mean to you, Mei! We would never push you down!"

"Never!" Ueno mimicked, nodding his head up and down quickly.

Mei just rolled her eyes then picked up Chibi-oro's glasses carefully. She bent down just as he was dusting himself off and placed the glasses back on his face. He slapped away her hand and yelled,

"Don't pity me! You are just as stupid as your blindly religious father and you always will be!"

He than ran away to hide in his own fathers cell without another glance back.

"Mei!" Aki and Ueno gasped at the same time, reaching their hands to her. She ran from them in the opposite direction Chibi-oro had, straight into Kakuzu's arms.

"Daddy, am I stupid? Is Dad stupid?" she cried as tears ran down her face and over the black scar under her left eye. Kakuzu let her cry into his shoulder as he and Hidan exchanged a meaningful glance.

"He didn't mean it." Kakuzu said finally after she had calmed down a bit and told them what had happened. "He was upset and he took it out on you. I know it wasn't nice, but it proves that he is just as much a child as you are, and he should stop trying to act so grown up."

Mei didn't really understand but she nodded anyway. Kakuzu let her down and she rubbed her eyes slowly. Hidan patted her head then fixed her bow and she smiled a little. He then pointed over her shoulder and said,

"Looks like Aki and Ueno are getting in a fight without you there to entertain them."

She glanced back to where he was pointing and sure enough, Ueno's face was growing steadily angrier as Aki spouted different insulting things. She sighed and slowly made her way back over to them. They instantly stopped arguing.

"Mei!" they cried at the same time and met her halfway. She smiled.

"I'm sorry!" Ueno said hastily. Aki glared at him. "I wanted to say sorry first!" he pouted.

"You're too slow, Aki!" Ueno stuck his tongue out. Aki just glared and crossed his arms.

"You two shouldn't fight!" Mei said firmly.

"But he's so annoying all the time, and he's too quiet!" Ueno complained.

"Maybe I'm so quiet because you're so loud." Aki muttered.

"You're always doing things without even thinking about them!" Ueno growled.

"Well you always go along with it anyway."

"Stop, stop! You guys need to kiss and make up or we're never going to have any more time to play! Go on!" She crossed her arms and frowned at them.

They both stopped and looked at her for a minute to see if she was serious. When her expression didn't change Aki sighed. He rolled his eyes and grabbed the front of Ueno's overalls. He quickly pulled his brother forward and kissed him flat on the lips. Aki's eyes were closed but Ueno's shot wide open. When they pulled apart they both wiped their mouths, Ueno glared faintly at Aki then muttered in an annoyed tone,

"There, happy?"

Both Aki and Ueno became surprised when they saw Mei's expression. First her eyes went wide and her mouth popped open in a small 'o'. Then, her face grew dark red and one tiny hand came up to try and cover her blush.

As soon as Aki had kissed Ueno, nearly everyone in the room had turned to them with shock in their eyes. Karin slapped her hand onto her forehead then muttered,

"This is what I get for passing on the incest genes..."

Suigetsu gulped, and all the other adults just watched to see how it would play out. The room was dead silent, and everyone was holding their breathes, watching Mei with intense curiosity.

"Mei... are you ok?" Ueno asked and reached out a hand to her.

She slapped away his hand, looked shocked at her own reaction, then ran out of the room before anyone could stop her.

Aki and Ueno glanced at each other, utterly confused. Konan laughed, crossed her arms and said just loud enough for the adults to hear,

"I think we just witnessed the birth of a twincest fangirl."

Karin groaned, pulled a flask from out of nowhere, and chugged it. Suigetsu patted her on the back and smiled awkwardly.

"It's ok..." he muttered loosely. She just turned and glared at him.

Mei ran from the room in embarrassment, only when she was outside in the fresh air did she realize she barely even knew why she was so embarrassed. All she knew was that when Aki had kissed Ueno it made her feel really funny. Not bad, just funny. And she felt like she had done something troublesome, like she had broken some sort of pact between friends, and she got embarrassed. Then everyone was looking at her, and she ran away.

This was the only time she was ever really grateful to have an outside area to the prison, even if it was caged in and gray and ugly. She made her way around the perimeter, kept in by tall fences topped with barbed wires, sighing the whole time. When she had told her Dad that she didn't like the outside, she was telling the truth. It was the only time when she felt like she was really separated from the outside world. When she felt like she was missing something.

And she hated them.

"Little girl!"

"You with the white hair!"

"Kid!"

Mei groaned, but still being young and polite, turned around to face the people calling to her anyway. She didn't smile though, and she didn't walk any closer to the fence where they were standing on the other side.

"W-what do you want?" she asked as she fiddled with the bow in her hair.

"What does it feel like to be a child criminal?" one of them sneered. She flinched from his accusatory tone and the way they all looked down on her.

"Yeah, what'd you do, rob a diaper factory?"

They laughed at their joke and Mei began to slowly walk away. They were just some bored punks who liked to hang around the prison walls for something to do. It was the main reason Mei hated being in the fenced in inclosure around Kure-Ji-Kira. Hidan had explained to her that the outside area was built mostly for her, only a few years after she was born. Both of her fathers were always trying to get her and the twin's to play outside, they said she needed sunlight or she would never grow. It never seemed worth it whenever the vultures on the outside started calling to her.

"Oi!" Mei's head snapped up to see Hidan walking slowly towards her. She ran over to him and wrapped her arms around his legs. He glared at the men on the other side of the fence.

"Are these pieces of shit how come you didn't want to play outside?" he asked angrily.

She nodded. His hands balled into fists then he smiled.

"My name's Hidan. Want to know what I'm in here for?" he asked as he walked towards the fence slowly.

A few of the kids laughed and a few others nodded. Hidan sidled right up to the chains, Mei still holding onto his leg. Hidan held a finger out and looks on either side of him, motioning for the guys to come closer to the wall. They glanced at Mei, obviously thinking that there was no danger if the little girl was OK. They moved just close enough to the fence for Hidan to reach trough it and grab two of them by the neck, one for each hand. He choked them mercilessly as Mei and other others watched.

"Murder." he whispered menacingly. "And so is her other father. She's our daughter, so imagine what she's capable of. Don't ever bother her again, or Jashin will not spare your life."

He released the two men and the stumbled away, choking and gasping for air. None of the men were looking at Hidan in fear, all eyes were on Mei who was smiling just as wide as her Dad.

Once they were out of sight Hidan bent down to Mei's level and scowled.

"If they ever come back just scream at 'um and do this." He then put up his middle finger and waited until she did the same. She smiled and nodded. He stood up.

"It's a damn good thing you weren't crying. I dunno what I woulda done to those bastards if they'd made you cry. That Orochimaru kid got me just in time."

Mei glanced back towards the door leading inside, just as it opened and both Aki and Ueno sprinted out, a small head of black hair disappeared in.


...And that's all I have the energy to write right now. Ok so... yeah I dont have anything to say about this chapter except for you to go and take a look at what all my OC's look like on my deviantArt(Keikopanda102). The twin's pic is only of them when their older but I will keep adding more so keep checking, only if you're curious though.

Also, A while ago I got a few flames because of the KisameXSuigetsu incedent. I don't know why I'm mentioning it, I just think it's funny. You're ok with rape and Mpreg... but not incest? Weirdo's.
