Shay's P.O.V.

I stretched as Konan, Brianna, Nyisha and I all walked through a store. We had to pick up groceries and some new cloths. Since I was the same size as Ana and Kira, I'd choose cloths for the three of us. Brianna was the same size as Tabby. Nyisha, Amanda and Miranda were the same except in height. Amanda was taller. I was going to argue with Ana about me coming. Naruto and the others would be seeing me in a few days. She just stared at me for a minute, then said "Okay. You'll be the cheerleader. No weapons." So here I am. I pulled a shirt from the rack. It was Ana's style. A tank top. Blue. With stars. It was actually midnight blue peppered with golden glitter. It wasn't supper flashy, and it was subtle. And Ana would be happier because it was her favorite color. I tossed it to Konan for her to add to the cart. "Ana's." I said. Before pulling a similar one only it was black with stripes of square silver sparkles. Tossing to Konan, naming it Kira's, I looked for a shirt for me. We got through the night. Ten shirts per girl and ten set of shorts. All the same style and same color per girl.

Mine were all a light tan color. Nyisha's were aqua green. Brianna's were dark red. Tabby's were rose pink. Made me want to puke. Amanda's were dark green. Miranda's were Ocean blue. Kira's were smoky gray and Ana's were regulation dark brown. Konan had me run to pick up a bag for her with a slip of paper, telling me to tell the clerks that "Rose Blue" had sent me for her order. I was sent out with a rather large black bag. I wasn't allowed to know what was in it. Konan told me if I looked she would suffocate me with paper while I slept. I'd rather not die, thank you. I was walking back to them, lost in thought when I rammed into Naruto. Accidentally, of course.

"Kyah!" I said. "N-Naruto-san! I'm sorry! I didn't see you!" I said, panicking a little bit. He helped me stand, eyeing me suspiciously. "How do you know my name, do I know you?" He asked. "U-um, no, it's just, um, you know one of my best friends and she talked about you a lot. Um, I should have seen you coming. I'm sorry." I stuttered. Luckily, I hadn't spilt Konan's package. He smiled at me, "Don't worry about it, it didn't hurt. I obviously don't need to introduce myself. So who are you?" he asked. "Shay Shinko." I said, remembering that Ana had classified us all the Shinko Clan. "So you know Ana, Kira and Miranda?' He said. I nodded. "You're not the cousin that betrayed her, are you?" He asked. "What? No! I'm the person that she has a special connection with." I said. He stared. "Special connection?" He asked. I nodded. "I'm different than the rest. Ana and I can… read each other's minds." I said. He stared. "You can?" He asked. I nodded. "Only when we look in each other's eyes, so I can't tell you what she's thinking right now." I said. "So you have, like, a special form of the Bokura Shidoku?" He asked. "Um, no. The way Ana and I share a brain, it has nothing to do with the Bokura Shidoku. It's… a birth defect." I said. Naruto cocked an eyebrow at me.

"Shay! Come on we're going!" I heard Konan call. "Coming!" I called. "Sorry, Naruto. We'll have to talk some other time. I'll see you around, okay?" I said. "Shay, just one more thing I wanna ask before you go." He said. "What is it?" I asked, wanting to just run already. "When will I meet my sister again?" He asked. I froze. I think Ana might have left something out with her whole "I'm Ayu Namikaze" speech. "Um… I can't tell directly when." I said. His face dropped. "Maybe I'll find out by the time we meet again. I'll see you soon, Naruto. Just, by the time we meet again. There will be a drastic change." I said. He looked at me. I sent him as smile and ran to my group.

"Was that Naruto?" Nyisha asked. "Yeah, I kinda ran in to him and he walked with me. He had to ask me a question before I left." I said. "What did he ask?" Brianna asked. "He asked me when he'd see his sister again." I said. "Naruto has a sister?" Nyisha and Brianna said in unison. "Apparently. I think Ana left something out." I said. "I keep forgetting, you guys don't know because you didn't grow up here." Konan said as I handed her the bag and took another bag from her. "Don't know what?" I asked. "Well. You know how Ana shares a body with a really strong ninja?" She asked. "How could we forget?" Nyisha grumbled. "Well, Ayu Namikaze was actually a better child prodigy than Itachi and Kakashi Hatake combined." Konan said. "Really?" Brianna asked. Konan nodded. "Ayu started her academy lessons at age four. It only took her a week to graduate. By the time she was five she was chunin level. About two and a half months, she was jounin level. She was six years old by the time the Kyuubi attacked Konoha. Both of her parents died." Konan started. "How sad." I said. Konan nodded.

"They both died in different ways, though. Her father died protecting the village. Her mother died giving birth." She said. "But only one baby was born that night." I said. "Did the baby die?" Nyisha asked. Then things started to click in my brain. "No. Ayu's brother lived." She said. Nyisha and Brianna shared a look as they tried to figure out what Konan was saying. Nyisha opened her mouth for a question. "Ayu is Naruto's sister." I said. Konan nodded. Nyisha and Brianna wore looks of shock on their faces. I rolled my eyes. "It shouldn't be such a big shock, guys. It's kinda obvious if you think about it." I said. They looked at each other, shrugged, and then nodded. "Yeah, true, true." They said. With that all cleared up, we were finally able to go home.

It took about an hour to go home, but when we got there, everything was normal. Hidan, Kira and Deidara were chasing Tobi with knifes. Miranda was running after them, filming it. Tabby was sleeping on the floor. Amanda, Kisame, Zetsu, and Sasori were all playing Monopoly. Kakuzu was counting money. Pein was yelling at those running around. Ana and Itachi were all cuddled up on the couch. Itachi's hand was gently stroking Ana's belly. When we all saw this, we almost turned around. It had been nice to get away from hell for a little bit. But we were back.

We went to each room and put the cloths on the beds. I just put mine away. Sasori sat there and watched as I went about my work. Amanda had totally owned them in monopoly so Sasori decided to help me. I place my last shirt in the drawer and sat by my lover. He held my hand as I sighed. "Something wrong, love?" He asked. "I was just thinking." I said. "What of?" He asked, wrapping an arm around me. I sighed and stood. "I don't wanna talk about it." I said. I was bugged about something, but I really just wanted to have a calm night. I walked out on to our balcony. Yes, things were good. We had balconies, a large back yard and a Jacuzzi that was also large. Enough to seat twenty. And a swimming pool with it. Guess where Miranda was. Also, the bath tubs were like Jacuzzis. I wondered how Kakuzu didn't keel over and die. This had to be expensive.

I stood at the edge of the balcony, leaning on the rail. A small breeze picked up and tossed my hair over my shoulder. Sasori came up behind me and wrapped an arm around my waist. "Shay, something is eating at you, and if you don't get it out, it'll consume you." He said. I sighed. "I'm worried." I said. "Well, obviously, darling, but about what?" He asked. I gnawed my lip. "About Ana." I confessed. He turned to me. "What for? Ana is an adult, you know." He said. "I know. It's just… Ana isn't really… strong when it comes to pain." I said. "How so?" Sasori asked. "She has a low pain tolerance. The fight with Tobi and Kira back when we met, that was what she could stand, but what you've lived through, I don't think she can handle it." I said. He grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him.

"I think she's safe. Ana passed through a dimension." He said. I stared at him. "I did, too, you know." I said. "Yes, but your captor knew a pain killer jutsu. We, unfortunately, do not. With out any resistance, pass through a dimensional tear is actually quite painful. It feels as if your skin is slowly being torn from your body." He said. I cringed. "Ow." I said. "That disturbing?" He asked. I nodded. He kissed my cheek. "Don't worry about Ana. She's strong. I think that she might just be the strongest of all of us." He said. "Yeah. I guess so." I said and smiled. He kissed me gently. "Everything will be okay." He said and then we went to bed.

Kira's P.O.V.

I pulled a can of lemonade from the fridge. Only Itachi, Ana and I had stayed up. Everyone had gone to bed about an hour ago. I had started to go to sleep, but I couldn't so I stayed up. I went to the bar and sat there while drinking my lemonade. "I think I felt her kick!" Itachi said to Ana. We both sent a look to him. "Itachi, the baby won't start kicking until I'm four months along." Ana said. Itachi sighed. "I can't help but get excited." He said, cuddling Ana. "Technically, sis, you got three and a half months until the baby starts kicking. And, Itachi, what makes you so sure the baby is a girl?" I asked. Itachi smiled. "I keep having dreams of a little girl. Very strong and very brave. And she looks like her mother." He said. Ana looked at him. "How do you know you're not having dreams of the mother?" I asked. He shrugged. "I just keep getting a feeling that that's my baby girl." He said and kissed Ana's head.

"Well, I've been having dreams of a little boy." Ana said. "Really?" I asked. She nodded. "He's a little shy, but he's very smart and strong. He looks like his father, but he has his mother's eyes." She said with a proud smile. "Maybe it's a sign." I said. "Huh?" They asked. I nodded. "Maybe you're having twins, a boy and a girl." I said. Their faces paled. "I think just one would be best for the moment." They said. I laughed. "Like you have a choice." I said. Ana shrugged. "Who knows, maybe twins would be nice." She said. Itachi though about it. "Maybe." He said.

"Hey, Ana, maybe you've been having dreams of Hinata and Naruto's kid." I said. Ana's face exploded in to a beam. "Ah! Your smile! I HAVE BEEN BLINDED!" I yelled, covering my eyes. Ana and Itachi laughed. That's when I realized that we were like a little family right here. All laughing and carrying on like a family should. I smiled at my sister and brother-in-law-to-be. I was so glad that I had these two. Itachi was actually really cool when he loosened up. These were the good times.

"Well, I'm going to bed, see you guys tomorrow." I said. "Hey, Kira." Ana called. "Yeah?" I asked. "You still got the camping stick?" She asked. "I got the stick if you got the blanket." I said. She grinned. I grinned back and went up to bed. I cuddled up to Hidan. He wrapped an arm around me subconsciously. I sighed and rested my head on his chest and fell asleep.

Ana's P.O.V.

After I puked from morning sickness, I wiped my mouth as grabbed a long, heavy blanket. Kira held up the thick tree branch we found on a hike once. "Let's do this." She said. Hidan then appeared behind us. "What are you two doing?" He asked. "Blanket party." I said. "What the fuck is a blanket party?" He asked, cocking an eyebrow. "A blanket party is when you throw a blanket of some one, push them over and beat the shit out of them." Kira explained. Hidan looked at me. "Is that a good idea?" He asked. "Seeing as Tobi is our target, yes." I said. "Can I join?" He asked. "No sharp objects. We do that later." I said. He grabbed a tree branch. Tobi was walking towards the stairs when we found him. I threw the blanket over him and Kira swooped his legs out from under him. He didn't fall down the stairs, but we immediately began to beat the shit out of him.

"Blanket party! Blanket party!" We called. I quickly yanked the blanket away and we darted to where we would make our attack next. We got Tobi ten times and Kakuzu once. Hidan's idea. I found it justified because he wanted me to have an abortion because children were expensive. Which is also how we found ourselves in Pein's office.

"A blanket party?" He asked. "A random blanket party." I said. "You got Tobi ten times." He said. "Wrong place right time." I replied. He facepalmed. "I should have seen it coming." He said. "Just so you know, we're not stopping." I said. "Make it twenty." He said. "Wanna join?" I asked. He thought for a moment. "Give me a stick." He said. We laughed. We got Tobi a total of twenty one times. Five of which, Pein got him in the "Good Boy." We all ran away laughing. This was a very good day for us.

Well, I'd have fun having "random" blanket party. Wouldn't you? Well, I'm getting a heat wave of 97 degrees here, so I'm going to go jump in the lake. Bye! Review for a water gun filed with Ice water/Ice.
