(A/N: I'm changing Emilia's age from 3 to 2 okay and I know that they probably didn't have "It" but too bad my story)
Chapter two
The next morning, a pair of strong arms lifted the toddler out of bed, who only moaned softly at the movement but slept on. Gein carried the young girl over to the black couch in the living room, where he saw, his other five counterparts were lounging about.
"Is she still asleep?" someone asked his voice held a hint of amusement
"Yes..." Gein's voice said curtly. Sein said nothing but made a low 'hmmm' sound from the back of his throat.
"Nggg...Gei-kwun?" a squeaky voice said sleepily from behind the group of criminals.
All 6 men turned around to see the 2 year old rub her eyes in tiredness, the wooden doll clutched in the crook of her arm. Her tired eyes looked at them from behind her messy hair.
"Gei-kun?" Sein teased Gein who only let out a low hissing growl.
"Good morning Emilia-chan" Kein said in a monotone voice, as he was stared outside at the rocky scene of Amergakure.
"Mornwing" Emilia said yawning.
"Are you hungry?" Rein asked, his voice sounding bored with the whole situation. Emilia nodded.
"Who's turn is it to cook anyway?" Dein asked. The others shrugged. They usually took turns cooking for one week. Dein stalked over to where a chart hung at a large bulletin board, upon examining the chart, Dein sighed.
"It's Kein's turn." he informed them. The others groaned. Emilia jumped up so suddenly, that the adults whirled around in alarm, ready to attack in case of an intruder. They relaxed when no one was there.
" What the hell did you that for brat!" growled an irritated Sein. Tears shone in Emilia's eyes but she kept them from pouring out. The others tensed.
"Hey, Sein, cool it. She didn't mean it" Dein said lightly. Emilia shook her head franticly.
"I'm sworry, papa just said to give you my mediwine but I forgots!" Emilia said. And with that, she left the room.
"That's right! I forgot about that!" Dein said. He took the scroll Pein had given him; and broke the wax seal. The other 5 men crowded around him reading the letter.
This scroll contains information regarding my daughter's medical status. If and only if she forgets to take her medication, in the white box that she will give you is a syringe and serum, along with many other types of medication. The serum is to stop her from coughing up blood. But under no circumstances, DO NOT let her see the syringe; she'll throw it away. The disease she has itself is unknown. But these are the symptoms of the attacks:
She will either be coughing excessively or her breathing becomes irregular. When that happens there is a clear yellow colored pill she needs to take.
If she walking more slowly than usual, check her legs for any blood and bruising; If there is then an attack would come irrelevant even if she has the antibiotics in her bloodstream. There is a small bottle labeled Clorimaxine, inject that into the area where the bruising is more concentrated.
At the same time you need to take a sterilized knife and heat it on the stove, and then injected the serum and knife into her legs as soon as you do that, immediately take the serum from her body, half of it is a healing poison that Sasori concocted, if it is left too long in her bloodstream she'll get weak. If that happens give her one of the green pills. It'll flush the poison out of her system.
Every morning she has to take a serum that has to be into her body. This is a serum Sasori made to have her relax. If she looks as though she suffering from severe exhaustion do not worry, Sasori said this is a normal side effect.
Last thing is that she has frequent attacks of seizures, they usually happen at night. But with her medication they're happening less frequently now. But if they do happen, lay her head in your lap with a pillow. This will allow her to breathe easier, and inject a clear liquid called: Tripetal.
Sincerely, Pein
"Hmm." Sein sighed, as he collapsed on the black couch and flung his right arm across his face. The others turned as they heard soft footsteps coming down the hallway. A minute later Emilia bounded into the room, struggling to carry a heavy looking white box, which she handed to Dein.
"Hwere~!" she said as her small arms struggled under the weight of the package .Dein quickly eased the white box out of Emilia's hands and set on the table. Gein came behind Emilia and lifted her up in his arms and sat himself on the couch, setting her on his lap in one fluid motion.
Dein sighed in pity, and lifted the container holding a clear serum. Both he and Kein began rifling around in the box, looking for the medication Pein had described in the scroll.
The bottles filled with countless and unrecognizable serums chinked gently as Dein's hands searched through them, carefully pulling out different medication. A particularly small vile caught his eye. He pulled it out carefully, frowning at the dark yellowish golden-green substance that swirled around. He held in gingerly, examining the calligraphy that was etched on the label stuck on the glass. It was Sasori's handwriting and most likely one of his own invented serums, as he was a puppet, master of poisons and such.
"Right...Ah,got it!" Dein murmured, holding another small vile with a light green colored serum in it. It also had a small label stuck on it with Sasori's handwriting on it. Kein, Rein, Zein and Sein heard his voice and gathered around him.
Their backs were turned to the small girl being held by Gein at the moment, so she couldn't see Dein empty the bottle's contents into a syringe and freak out.
Dein quickly hid the syringe inside the sleeve of his shirt, outside of Emilia's view and approached the girl being held in Gein's lap. He sat down; the black couch sank slightly readjusting the newly added weight. He smiled reassuringly at Emilia who grabbed Gein's arm tightly, looked nervous as hell. Dein smiled again and hugged her.
Emilia gasped in pain. When Dein's arms wound themselves around her small body, the syringe slid out of Dein's sleeve piercing through the layers of skin and muscle covering the veins and bone where it embedded itself into Emilia's right arm. A second later Dein, pushed the plunger of the syringe releasing the serum into the frightened girl.
As soon as the needle injected its contents in her body. the serum surged throughout Emilia's bloodstream, spiking her body with renewed force, creating a slight adrenaline rush. Her vision clouded slightly, and her body felt heavy, as if chains were weighing her down, incapacitating her from any movement. She tried to get her drooping eyes, but they felt heavy as well, her whole small body felt alarmingly lethargic.
She wasn't even aware when Dein removed the needle from her arm.
"Such a good girl…" Dein's voice murmured softly, rubbing her back slowly, noting how limp the girl's body became and the dull tired look in her silver eyes as she struggled to look up at him, like any other toddler who had no idea what was happening; Emilia began to cry.
After minutes of whispering calming words to the child Dein gave up and in a rather irresponsible way tossed the child into Sein's startled hands.
"Damnit Dein, what the hell!" Sein snarled quickly catching the kid before she could fall and hit the ground.
"You need to bond with her." Dein said a bit smugly, Sein scoffed and muttered a "Yea' right." under his breath.
"Shit, how'd ya get her to shut up?" Sein hissed softly after trying for several minutes to pacify her by making an awkward cradle and swaying from side to side. It didn't work that much though.
"Try putting her over your shoulder and then bouncing her up and down." Rein suggested blankly.
Sein did so only to get harder crying, and severe cussing. The other five were already getting headaches from all the noise. Rein hissed, and stepped forward, swiftly but gently swiping the girl from Sein.
He carefully placed her over his chest, her head resting on his shoulder as he bounced her slowly and rhythmically. A low hissing was soothing and helped calm and distract her from the pain. Rein nodded at Dein who immediately removed a little of the serum away; he'd probably had given her too much.
Rein was scary individual. He was a very accomplished ninja and was able to do many things like a prodigy. He knew many things that weren't even taught to him, like knowing stuff like this for example.
The other five were numb with surprise as they followed the stoic body to the kitchen. Rein looked up, staring at Kein square in the face as he rocked the child in his arms.
"Kein wasn't it your turn to cook today?" he asked softly nodding towards the stove. Catching the hint Kein nodded woodenly and went to the cupboards.
Rein sat on a chair holding the kid upright so she wouldn't fall. She was finally asleep.
=XXTIMESKIPXX=
It was evening. They were up in the living room, doing whatever. Zein, Kein, Gein were on the floor watching Emilia as she played, while Dein and Sein were on the couch surfing the TV looking for something interesting to watch; Rein was silently reading a book, his eyes from time to time glancing at Emilia to see if she was fine.
Emilia was currently dressing up her doll Sakuya (the doll Sasori made her) in one of the many outfits her mother had made for her.
"Oh yeah!" Sein cheered as the channel flipped to Stephen King's "It."
Dein frowned. "I seriously think that's a bad idea Sein."
"Why the hell not?" Sein demanded.
"We have a 2 year old here."
"So? She can leave!" Sein said.
"No she can't. Pein wants us to-" Dein was interrupted by Sein heated answer.
"Then have Gein or somebody to watch her!" Sein snarled. The four that was crouched around Emilia shook their heads as Emilia's lip quivered as the noise escalated.
"Bed Time!" Zein's deep voice announced as he hurriedly scooped up Emilia and left the room as voices started to raise themselves. Emilia began to struggle. He'd forgotten Sakuya!
"…" Rein set down the book after marking the page, picking up the half-dressed doll. He quickly finished dressing it and slipped away from the rising commotion as Kein entered the argument as well.
"Zein!"
Zein turned to see Rein hurry towards him, he placed a sniffling Emilia on his hip."What is it?"
"You forgot her doll." Rein said handing the doll over. Emilia immediately stopped crying. Rein patted her head and left, walking towards the living room.
"Mrrrh…" Zein sighed mussing his hair.
"Enough Sein!" Rein said in a monotone as he entered the living room, tactfully closing the door that left to the inner living space of the house. Not that it did much good though…
"C'mere" Zein muttered as he closed the door to Emilia's room and placed her on the bed. He sighed.
"Can you dress?"
Shakily Emilia shook her head 'no.' Zein said nothing but turned towards her bag and dressed her in a bear-decorated flannel shirt and pants. Ironically there was a tiny set of the same pajamas, so at Emilia's insistence Zein dressed Sakuya in them as well.
"Zei?" Zein withstood the mispronunciation of his name as he answered her."Yes, what is it?"
"Why dwoes Sei-Sei not like mwe?" Inwardly Zein smirked at Sein's nickname but tensed at the question and at the sight of tears on her face.
"Sein…just doesn't know you yet." It was the simplest answer he could scrounge out; besides the fact that she was just two, she wouldn't really understand that Sein was…well Sein. There weren't words to really describe him.
Zein quietly laid her up on the bed and tucked her and the doll in. He sat still on the bed until slow deep breathing told him Emilia was knocked out cold. He growled softly at the shouting voices from outside; he never knew when to quit did he?
Zein quietly rose from the bed, glancing at the still slumbering toddler before closing the door behind him exposing himself to the louder ruckus.
"Damn. Sein, you idiot."
