1zara-uchiha1 and I don't own the Naruto cast or anything else you might recognize. 1zara-uchiha1 owns Laura and I own Kahlan. Together we own the plot.

Chapter 68

Note: When parents decide to visit, make sure they get along with the Akatsuki.

~Laura's POV

"Hey who was at the door~?" I sing with a tune as I skip to the hallway and see Kahlan's mum and dad standing there, nodding a greeting to me.

I blink confused for a second as I look myself over, I'm only in black baggy jeans (which I stole from Deidara so I am using a belt so they don't fall down) and a tight white sports tank top… which has some mud and dirt on them.

"My parents," Kahlan says to me with a still shocked look as she walks to me before facing her parents, a small forced smile on her face.

"Hello Mr. Ward and Dr. Ward," I sing with a grin and a wave as I am spared a smile from her mum and dad though it only stays for a second at most.

"It's nice to see you again, Laura, you seem to have recover from your fever well," her mum says with another small smile which she would use with patients which she is using against me.

"Yep," I say with a smile as I glance to Kahlan, she still seems to be in shock by her parents being here. "Kahlan and Konan looked after me while I was ill," I say with another grin as her mother looks to Kahlan like she does not believe that before looking to me with another smile.

"That is great to hear," she says as I look to Itachi and Sasori who are behind them, they both seem to be processing what is happening and how to deal with it, so right now they are just watching.

"Who was at the door," I hear Pein asks while walking into the hallway with Konan in toll. I gulp a little as Pein and Kahlan's parent's eyes meet and I can already feel the tense air in the room. "Who is this," he asks while remaining calm which is a surprise for me as Konan seems slightly worried as Kahlan isn't really talking and I am shaking a little, oh no this cannot be good.

"T-This is Kahlan's parents," I begin while forcing a grin and jumping out in front of him before he can do anything that will harm them, "it's a surprise visit~ isn't that nice," I say with another hyper grin as I feel the eyes of everyone in the room on me. Pein only seems to stare at me with slightly narrowed eyes as I watch Deidara and Kisame enter the room, probably to see what is going on out here.

"I see," he begins as he looks from me then to Kahlan and then to her parents who are watching him carefully with a watchful looks on their faces. "Kahlan, Laura, we need to have a word, follow me," he says while turning around and walking into the kitchen with Konan following him as Kahlan and I look to each other, this cannot be good.

"It's nice to meet Kahlan's parents, we have heard good things about you from Kahlan," Itachi says while walking in front of them and is giving them a tiny smile, go Itachi! Act like you've never acted before! "My name is Itachi Uchiha, it's nice to meet you two," he says while giving a short polite Japanese bow.

I look to Kahlan's parents as they watch him with interest as Kahlan's father smiles to Itachi with a nice aura.

"It's nice to meet you as well, my name is Michael Ward; I hope my daughter hasn't been of any trouble to you," he says while showing his hand to Itachi as a handshake which Itachi shakes with his tiny smile on his face. "This is my wonderful wife, Allyson Ward," he says while taking his hand back and mentioning to his wife who gives Itachi a small smile.

"It's nice to meet you," she says while showing him her hand which he shakes.

"Shall we continue this conversation in the living room while we wait for Kahlan and Laura to talk with Pein," Oh my god Itachi said Pein's name! Itachi says all of that with that smile of his before showing his hand to the living room in a posh like style; he must be using the skills he used before to persuade Kahlan's parents into the living room and to wait.

"Of course," her dad says with his smile as he and her mum follow Itachi into the living room; without a single look back, Kahlan and I rush into the kitchen where Konan and Pein are, Pein leaning against the counter with his hands on the edge of it with Konan standing beside him, a concerned look on her face.

"What is going on, Kahlan did you call your parents," Pein questions as Kahlan shakes her head with a stern look on her face.

"I did not, Itachi and Sasori told me that they called, saying they are going to check up on me," Kahlan answers back as Konan looks to Pein with a look which shows she remembers something.

"Sasori told me that as well a few days ago," she says while looking to Kahlan and I before looking to Pein, "I'm sure they won't be here long so we should let them stay for now, from the look of their appearance I can say that they are successful meaning they would be noticed if they went missing, Leader," Konan says as I blink at that, what she said is completely right and its true they probably won't be here long either.

"Alright," Pein begins before sighing slightly under his breath, he looks to us with a look as Konan leaves the room and from what I can hear, she is calling the other members to come into the kitchen. "They can stay and my members will not harm them but, they cannot stay, for no more than four days," Pein says while standing up from leaning on the counter and walks over to us as the members walk into the kitchen, meaning they have probably left Kahlan's parents in the living room with Konan.

"Okay," I say with a nod before grinning to him, smiling to the other members before rushing out into the living room to see Konan having a chat with Kahlan's mum and dad, they seem to be enjoying their chat with Konan.

"So, how long have you people been living with Laura and Kahlan," Dr. Ward asks as I jog over to them with a smile and look to Konan as she pretends to think with a small look of thought on her face.

"A couple of months now, it almost seems like we're a family in a way," Konan says with a small laugh and smile as Kahlan's mum smiles a little back.

"Hey guys," I great with a grin as Kahlan follows into the room, forcing another smile on her face as she walks beside me and grips my hand a little, probably to calm herself down from this.

"Hello again," Konan greats with a smile as I grin back to her, thankfully Konan is very good with people and keeping the calm atmosphere here.

I look back to the kitchen and watch as Itachi walks into the room with Kakuzu and Sasori who seem quite calm while Hidan runs into the room with Deidara who seem quite annoyed for some reason.

"Got to be fucking kidding that stupid fucking leader," Hidan grumbles to himself loudly while plopping down on the sofa and turning the TV on, turning the channel to some random horror movie.

"Excuse me," Kahlan's dad says with disgust as Hidan only seems to snap his head at him and glares at him, looking already pissed for some reason.

"None of your fucking business- Fuck it Kakuzu! Let me fucking go!" Hidan begins to yell as Kakuzu had walked over to him, grabbed his ear roughly and is now dragging him out the room by it, Kakuzu doesn't seem very happy either which isn't at all good for Hidan.

"Please do not mind Hidan, he is always like that as he has a 'problem'," Itachi says with a small sigh which makes me giggle a little, it said that like Hidan HAS a problem… though I guess you could call Hidan's swearing habit a problem.

"I see," Kahlan's mum says while looking to the kitchen where Hidan was dragged off to before looking to Itachi who is giving an apologetic smile as she looks to Kahlan with a look which I do not understand before looking to me and Konan, giving us both a small smile.

"So, how was your ride here?" I ask with a super sweet smile though inside I am a little bit panicked. Oh how the Akatsuki will adjust themselves to Kahlan's parents I do not know… speaking of which… I have a text from my mum which I have yet to open and last time I checked… Kahlan's mum and my mum didn't really get along well while our father's get along super well like they were almost best friends… no idea why they just do.

"It was long, but it was fine," her mum says with a small sigh which makes me remember something about her, she hates to be kept waiting, a lot like Sasori by that.

I nod my head and watch as Sasori walks over to us with that normal blank look of his, I cannot wait for him to smile, I hope it isn't one of those 'I can't wait to kill you' smiles which Hidan seems to give everyone almost every week.

Sasori taps my shoulder before whispering something in my ear, "Leader has told the other members not to hurt Kahlan's parents, but Kahlan needs to get some rest soon," he whispers in my ear as I nod softly at him before I hear him whisper the same thing to Kahlan which makes her nod and pout a tiny bit before giving a blank look.

"Do you happen to have the time?" her mum asks as Konan nods her head softly before looking to the plain white watch on her wrist.

"It's almost two pm, why do you ask?" Konan asks with a small confused look as I glance to Kahlan's dad who is looking round the living room and to every male member like he is putting some things together while talking to Itachi about what Kahlan's dad does for a living and what he normally does on his days off as Konan talks to Kahlan's mother about the normal things women talk about… which I am not very sure about.

"Nothing really, just an arrangement that was agreed on," she says with a small smile as Konan nods her head slightly confused by what she said as I nod again, I am also confused by what she meant by that.

I nod my head closely before feeling my phone vibrate in my back pocket, I reach backwards and take it out and unlock the screen to see that it's a text from my mum.

'Be ready for a surprise~!' it says which makes me blink, what is that supposed to mean?

My heart skips a beat as I hear the doorbell ring which makes Kahlan and I look to each other before rushing towards the door.

I answer the door and stay frozen for a second before breathing a little again.

"Hey mum… dad… bro…" I say while forcing an almost unbearable smile as my brother smirks to me before pulling me towards him and putting me in a headlock. HEEELP! BROTHER ATTACK!

"I haven't seen you in a year and that's how you greet me," he says all cocky like as I scream into his shirt while trying to get loose from his horrible grip.

"It's nice to see you again, Kahlan and Little Legs," I hear my dad greet which makes me scowl with annoyance, I hate my nickname sooooo much! I AM NOT THAT LITTLE! I AM FUN-SIZED!

"Let go of me you idiota!" I yell while calling him an 'idiot' in Spanish which causes him to pick me up upside down and put me over his shoulder while walking inside the house, my stomach digging into his bony shoulder.

"Shut it, Midget," he says with a chuckle as I start throwing my fists on his back in all attempts for him to put me down.

"I will not shut up now put me down before I strangle you silly you huge idiota!" I yell even more which has earned the attention of everyone in the kitchen and in the living room as I watch Kahlan let my parents in… oh… no… this CANNOT END WELL!
