Kelly was relieved when her days off finally came, for once it was peaceful at the base; no flirting or bossing around.

More importantly, maybe now she could leave. Deep down though, she really didn't want to; here it was much more exciting than in her world. Things that don't exist are real in this one, supernatural and wondrous things, yet some are terrifying.

Sighing she put away the dishes after she finished eating, actually not sure what to do since she was alone aside from Itachi but that idea was shot down quick.

"Kazumi-chan~"

The girl tensed when she was held from behind, knowing exactly who it was behind her and sending a chill up her spine when he murmured in a low menacing tone, "Why do you want to leave me?"

"Wh…What do you mean?" "I know about your conversation with Pein, the hidden meaning in your fear is proof enough you want to return to your own world."

Her shoulders slumped and softly replied, "I just miss my world sometimes, I do have family there you know." His lips brushed against her ear and the hot breath sent a tickling sensation coursing through her, "You have a new family now….Kelly."

The woman was getting scared again, just hearing her real name coming from Tobi was odd…and terrifying as well for some reason.

She knew she couldn't fight him, but wanted to reason with the boy all the same. "Please tell me why? Why me? I don't have any hidden abilities or strength."

The boy chuckled and kissed her cheek, "That may be, but I like you. You're different and more like us than you know; I bet you're a misfit in your world are you not?"

Her silence was proof enough as he continued, "You fit in this world Kelly, why not be a part of it? A part of me~"

Before the woman could say anything someone entered the room, "Am I interrupting something?" Tobi glanced over at the raven before his behavior turned back into his normal bubbly tone, "Kazumi-chan down in the dumps and Tobi was just trying to cheer her up."

Itachi murmured, "I see, well it doesn't seem you're making any progress. Allow me to give it a try." The boy tilted his head, "Tobi thought Itachi-san wasn't feeling well?"

"I'm not, but this won't take long. Besides, I thought you were on a mission with Zetsu this time?" "Leader-sama changed his mind about Tobi going since Zetsu does better alone, so Tobi gets time off too!"

The boy left happily as Itachi motioned for the woman to follow him into his room, whispering in a low tone, "Don't believe him Kazumi, there is no bright future for what he has in mind for the world."

"But…But he's right Itachi. I do fit in here more than my world. I won't be treated like an outcast anymore."

He rested a hand on her shoulder, "Be that as it may, I need you to understand the consequences. You will be trapped and bound to this organization if you stay, no longer free to do what you wish without being followed or someone always by your side to protect you."

"Would he really keep me a prisoner?"

"Not intentionally but yes, we are a high ranked criminal organization and if anyone knew you were here; they would kidnap and interrogate you. You see, you would have to be kept hidden to avoid anything of the sort happening, especially if you are pregnant with his child."

Kelly frowned and nodded; the raven made complete sense and was right. She couldn't stay here locked up forever, what kind of future was that?

She thanked Itachi and figured it would be best to leave him to rest and postpone their plan.

*Tobi spent the rest of the week with Kelly, keeping her company but for once didn't try to get her into bed which she was thankful for.

Time seemed to drag on for the girl before months went by, yes…months…never having the chance to escape since Itachi was kept busy and his eyes giving him trouble from time to time.

Kelly was worried about the raven, but not half as much from the obvious protruding belly she now had. Yes, she was indeed pregnant.

Hidan found the news hilarious, "I knew she'd get fucking knocked up!" Kakuzu rolled his eyes but said nothing, continuing to sharpen his kunai as did Sasori in silence. They had no opinions on the matter.

Kisame muttered, "Who's the father do you think?" Zetsu shrugged, "Does it matter?" The swordsman almost said otherwise but kept silent…fairly nervous it might be his child.

Deidara molded some clay and murmured, "I really don't care who it belongs to, even though the thought of it being Hidan's offspring would be a disturbing un." "FUCK OFF!"

"As I was saying, the main question is what to do with the infant un."

Pein came around the corner silently in deep thought, already trying to figure out the same question as Tobi followed him in the main room humming happily.

"What are you so fucking chipper about!?"

The boy giggled, "Hidan really want to know why?" "Not really, but just fucking curious." "Tobi going to be a father!"

Deidara and Hidan both spit out their drink, almost choking on in it when they cried out in unison, "WHAT!?"

The puppet master murmured vaguely, "It is true I'm afraid, I administered a DNA test a few days ago because Pein requested me to." "Why didn't you tell us Danna un!?" The redhead merely fiddled with his puppet without looking up, "What was the point, I knew Tobi would announce it eventually."

As the others started arguing, Tobi entered the kitchen to see the woman chopping some lettuce when he pouted, nudging her out of the way to do it himself softly lecturing her, "You don't need to be on your feet so much Kazumi-chan. Sit down and let Tobi prepare supper."

The girl smiled and carefully plopped into a seat with a heavy sigh, "Thanks Tobi." By this point Kelly learned to accept her pregnancy and Tobi, the boy really was good to her despite how possessive he was sometimes but he did seemed to care about her well being none the less.

She did feel homesick even more now, depressed from other things as well. For instance the other men that advanced on her weren't interested in her anymore now that she was pregnant…well…aside from Kisame and Itachi.

Hidan, Sasori, and Kakuzu she knew didn't give a damn, Zetsu and Deidara were just pals, Pein and Konan she thought were nice now even if she never saw them much whereas Kisame, Itachi, Tobi were more.

Kisame was nice in his own way about her predicament, not having her clean his room hardly at all and asking if she needed anything once in a while. Once he found out it was Tobi's baby though he tried not to fool around anymore…..though he still wanted to.

Itachi was just a total….blank…you could say. He wasn't exactly happy and Kelly could tell he wasn't because of the whole situation; still trying to help her get home, but even more so….he was too attached to her.

He liked her, but now she was with child from someone else. The raven couldn't do anything about it but still, keeping his distance and being there in her time of need was all he could do.

He didn't mind her having a child, which he could help out when needed since he had experience with his own brother…..surprisingly he looked forward to it. A child will lighten up the mood if not cause havoc.

Just the idea made him smirk, though deep down he would still be in pain since at some point Kelly would have to return home.

Even so, Itachi would make sure she would take the newborn with her to avoid the child growing up to live the cursed life of a shinobi.
