I updated? And it's not late(ish)? Man, it's a motherfucking mIrAcLe. :o) (I will love you for-fucking-ever if you got that reference.)

Anyways, I don't own Naruto. As it always will be like that..

Warning! It's a sad(ish) chapter!


Kisame and Kakuzu sat shamefully in Pein's office. The two glanced away as Pein's Rinnegan glared over them.

"I put you in charge of the base while we were away. We return, and find a mess from playing truth or dare, and Bryanna getting treated in the medical room."Pein growled. The two nodded, feeling like small children being scolded by their father. Pein rested his elbows on the desk, entwining his hands together and resting his chin on them."Anything to say for yourselves? Possibly excuses?"Pein asked. The two shook their heads, earning a sigh from their leader.

"Alright then, who started the game?"He asked. Kakuzu looked up, Kisame glancing at him."It was Crysta and Bryanna, sir."He stated. Pein stared."Since you openly admitted it was Crysta, I'd have to believe you then."He stated. Pein straightened in his chair."Alright, after this, I want you to send just Crysta in, Kakuzu. You will not be in here to defend her or lower her punishment."He continued. Kakuzu nodded. Pein sighed."As for your own punishments,"

He looked at Kisame."Kisame, I know your love for training, you are forbidden from doing so for the next two weeks or so. Your abilites are high enough to go without it for some time." Pein then looked at Kakuzu, "Your punishment, Kakuzu, will be no bounty hunting or side missions for the next three weeks. You're both lucky that your punishments aren't more severe. Do you both understand?" The two nodded, Kisame feeling bummed, Kakuzu pissed.

The two were dismissed, immediately going to look for their girls.

Kisame found Autumn chilling on the couch, her arm over her eyes. He layed down with her, moving her so she layed on top of him."What'd Leader say?"Autumn wondered. Kisame sighed."Not allowed to train for the next few weeks.."He said. Autumn looked up at him with an upset look."You sound so bummed out.."She said. Kisame shrugged."I am bummed out."He admitted. Autumn wrapped her arms around his neck, nuzzling his chest."Well, more together time for us then.."She sighed in content. Kisame smirked, placing an arm around her waist.

"Hey Autumn?"He asked."Hm?"She sighed in reply, looking up at him."If you had a shark attack, how come you aren't afraid of me from being mentally scarred?" Autumn chuckled at his question, messing with his hair."Because, my dear Kisa, the attack was a lesson. Jashin made it happen because I was showing off and boasting about my ability to surf. So afterwards, I was left to get an interest in sharks, my little trophies others call scars, and a love for you. Because if I shark can scar a girl this badly, they're really badass."Autumn explained. Kisame chuckled, planting a kiss on her forehead.

"You're a nut." Autumn only grinned.

Kakuzu found Crysta in the medical room, watching Sasori and Zetsu tend to Bryanna. Seeing that Crysta felt worried at the moment, Kakuzu's pissed off level lowered a bit."Crysta, leader's office."Kakuzu said. She glanced up at him, nodding. She got up, leaving the medical room, and going to Pein's office.

"'Sup, Pein-sama?"Crysta said, taking a seat. She immediately knew she was in trouble as Pein was not looking amused. She sunk in her chair."Crysta, I'm not happy."Pein stated. She looked down, swallowing a lump in her throat."You also know I'm going to let this slide, Crysta. You are recieving a punishment."He continued. The brunette nodded, not even commenting on how dirty that sounded. Konan sighed, wishing he wouldn't be so hard on Crysta.

"No going on missions with Hidan and Kakuzu unless told otherwise by me, no leaving the base unless told otherwise, and your katana and iPod are being conviscated all for the next two weeks."

As soon as the words iPod and conviscated were heard in the same sentence, Crysta shot up from her seat.

"Leader-sama, anything, anything else, just please don't take my iPod!"She begged. Pein gave her an unimpressed look."A punishment is a punishment, Crysta. But don't worry, I won't let it be ruined or broken."Pein said, already having the iPod in his hands. Crysta shook her head, feeling extremely upset."Leader-sama.."She whispered. He shook his head.

Crysta then tensed as 'Tobi' walked out of his hiding spot in the shadows of the room.

"I didn't like that stunt you and Bryanna pulled, Crysta.."Madara growled. Crysta stared, feeling the temperature of the room drop.

Pein and Konan could only watch as Madara slammed Crysta into the wall by her throat, holding her at least a foot above the floor. He was the leader. They weren't, meaning they couldn't go against him.

"I've warned you about this before, Crysta. And I will say it again only once. I will kill you if you ever. Do that again. Do I make myself clear."Madara snarled, his grip on her neck tight. Crysta could only gasp for breath; her neck and throat ached, her vision started blurring, and her lungs burned as she struggled to find breath. Through her intense pain, she forced a slight nod. He dropped her, allowing her to gasp for breath on her hands and knees.

Madara grabbed her chin, making her look up at him.

"I mean it this time. Last. Chance."He growled. Crysta nodded, forcing back a few tears that wanted to fall. Madara released her, leaving the room. Konan gave the girl a look of sadness, then looking at Pein. He sighed."Are you-" Crysta coughed, "happy now?"She said, looking up at Pein. Konan and Pein shared a look."Crysta, I'm sorry, but Madara's actions are not my choice. Look. I'll be kind enough to at least return your iPod.."Pein said. Crysta stood up, taking her iPod back."Thank you, Leader-sama.."She sighed.

"And don't worry. The others got some sort of punishment as well."Pein added. The brunette nodded."Crysta, you are dismissed." She nodded, leaving the office. Konan sighed."I'm sick of Madara.. I'm sick of his plan, I'm sick of his ways, and I'm sick of him hurting the girls."Konan admitted. Pein sighed."I know, Konan. But we can't do anything about it.. Yet."

Crysta went to her room collapsing on the bed and hiding her face in the pillow. She tensed when she felt someone loom over her."Crysta, sit up." She calmed slightly as it was Kakuzu. But he wasn't amused either. She didn't move, she didn't even glance up at him."Crysta. Sit up. I want to talk to you."Kakuzu ordered. Crysta looked up at him finally, not actually wanting to sit up. Kakuzu sighed, massaging his temples.

"Crysta.."He warned. She glared at him, sitting up, but gripping the pillow to her face. He took the pillow from her, seeing her not even making eye contact as she glared at the ground."I'm pissed, Crysta. I let you play that stupid game, you promising to keep it under control. But it got out of hand, I got in trouble with Leader-sama. And I'm not okay with all this."He scolded. Folding her arms, Crysta pulled her hoodie up.

Kakuzu pulled it down, holding it there.

"You're not hiding from this. You know how pissed I am."He said. He stopped as from under her bangs that she used to hide her face, he saw a line of tears fall down to her chin. He suddenly felt a small feel of guilt. Kakuzu went to hug her, but Crysta shocked him; she pushed him away. Standing, and gripping her iPod, she ran from the room.

Kakuzu sighed. He broke Crysta.

A barely conscious Bryanna layed on the hospital bed, looking out the window as she was treated for the huge bruise on her side. She watched as the sky darkened even more, the rain pouring harder than it was."It's as if Leader-sama made it rain harder to show how everyone's upset and feeling bad today."Bryanna said, her voice hoarse from her violent coughing. Zetsu nodded, petting her hair gently."Truth or dare wasn't our smartest move, Bryanna. No, it wasn't."Zetsu said.

The day actually came when the two sides actually agreed on something.

Bryanna nodded slightly."I know.. But we just wanted to have a little fun, since we rarely do."She replied. Alexa, who was looking away from the large bruise, finally looked back as Sasori placed Bryanna's shirt over her side again. Zetsu and Bryanna looked up as the puppet stood."Is Bryanna alright? Is anything too serious hurt?"Zetsu questioned."Well, two ribs were fractured, and luckily, no important organs were hit. She should be fine in a few weeks, just as long as she doesn't get up and go around too much."Sasori explained.

Bryanna, Zetsu, and Alexa sighed in relief.

"Just tell us if you feel anymore pain at all."Sasori said. Bryanna nodded, Sasori and Alexa leaving. She sighed."I hate being trapped in bed.."She said. Zetsu shrugged."I know, but there's nothing we can do about that."He said. Bryanna looked out the window again as lightning flashed."Jeez.. It's really intense now."She said, watching the water run down the window."You know, this reminds me of the beach three years ago."She stated. Zetsu chuckled."I remember that. Oceans are bitches."

~Flashback~

Bryanna giggled as she watched Zetsu eye the shore, as if he was warning it not to come near him."But the ocean is fun!"She insisted, fixing her swimming top for the hundredth time today. Zetsu shook his head."No thank you. Hell no."He said. Bryanna sighed."You move through ground with that awesome phasey-through-stuff ability, but you're afraid of a little saltwater?"She asked. Zetsu nodded, no shame at all. She grabbed his hand, earning a little blush from the Akatsuki member.

"Just come stand at the shore with me. Just our feet. Please?"She asked cutely. Zetsu sighed as he couldn't find himself to deny her. She grinned as they walked over, still holding hands, and standing at the shore. The water washed over their feet, Zetsu tensing a bit."The water is cold.. Cold is an understatement, it's fucking freezing."He said, wanting to step away. But something kept nagging him to stay there with the girl...Bryanna was her name.

Bryanna stared out into the ocean, watching the others swim and have fun. A breeze blew by, causing her hair to blow in her face. She giggled, holding her hair in place."Stupid wind.."She said. She glanced at Zetsu, seeing his venus flytrap close slightly, shielding his face.

Bryanna then blushed as she realized they were still holding hands.

"Oh, sorry.."She muttered, pulling her hand away. Zetsu almost felt disappointed."No, it's okay."His white half assured.

"BRYANNA, ZETSU, GET YOUR ASSES IN HERE!"Crysta called. Zetsu facepalmed and Bryanna giggled."You sure you're not coming in?"Bryanna asked. Zetsu looked at her."No. B-But maybe a little later."Zetsu said. She smiled, "Well, okay then. Hope you do come in!" And with that, she dove into the water, joining the others.

"There's something about her.. What? Don't know.. Just how she enjoys our company. And she's...cute. What? No she's not.. You're usually the one being perverted, so if I think she's cute, you obviously think something more. ..Shut the fuck up.."

If Bryanna's throat weren't hurting, she'd be laughing her ass off."You perv."She giggled, pointing to his black half. Zetsu shrugged."You love it, Bryanna. Knock it off."He said. Bryanna shrugged."Sometimes I do."She admitted.

Dawn sighed, standing in the bathroom. She lifted her shirt as she stood in front of a large mirror. Groaning in disgust, pulling her shirt back down, Dawn plopped on the floor, running some fingers through her dirty blonde hair. Hidan now watched her in the doorway, Dawn glancing up as she finally noticed his presense."What's wrong?"Hidan asked, sitting next to her. She shook her head."It's nothing."She assured. Hidan gave her a look."I may be a fucktard, but I can somewhat speak fucking girl. And 'Nothing' always fucking means something."

Dawn sighed."Fucking fine.."She said, standing. She lifted her shirt enough to show her stomache."I'm already starting to show."She stated. Hidan stood as well, placing a hand on his girlfriend's stomache."So? You're still my beautiful girl. Besides, that means our little fucker is growing."He said with a smirk. Dawn cracked a smirk as well."I don't know, Hidan,"She started, looking at him, "I think we might be having two."

Hidan tilted his head back, staring up at the ceiling, Dawn laughing a bit.

"Come on, admit it, you know you want two."Dawn said. Hidan scoffed."And deal with twice the shit and crying? No fucking thank you."He said. Dawn shrugged.

"Think about it. If we have two boys, then we're adding two new troublemaking fuckers to the world that you can spend all your guy time with. With two girls, you can beat the shit out of all the boys who hit on them and be their boyfriends, without getting into much trouble. With one of each, you get both good sides."She explained.

Hidan comprehended all what she just said."You make having fucking twins so a-fucking-mazing."He said. Dawn laughed."Yup. But, with twins, you gotta give both attention."She added. Hidan shrugged, "One for me, one for you?"

Dawn smacked him slightly on the cheek.

"No cheating."She scolded. The two looked up at the new presense in the doorway. Tobi stood there, earning a glare from the two."What the fuck do you want Tobi?"Dawn snapped, having a mood swing."Leader-sama wants you, Dawn-chan!"He chirped. Dawn rolled her eyes."Whatever. Be back in a bit, Hidan."She said. Hidan nodded as Dawn was lead to Pein's office. She entered, taking the seat in front of Pein's desk.

But Pein wasn't there. Only Konan.

"Hey Konan. Where's Pein?"Dawn said."He has to finish something, so he left. But I wanted to talk with you."Konan said. Dawn sighed, smirking a bit, as she kne wwhat Konan wanted."So, Dawn, as girl-to-girl, are you starting to show yet?"

Dawn stood and lifted her shirt to show her new baby bump.

Konan giggled."I'm kinda jealous. I've always wanted a family. You and Hidan must be excited."She said. Dawn sighed, plopping back in the chair."Hidan might be proud to be a dad, and I'm semi-excited and happy, but I'm not too excited for the pain I'll be going through when it's time, and all the things I gotta go through before that."She nodded."I hear ya'.." Dawn grinned, folding her arms behind her head.

"But hey, I'm already a moody bitch, there won't be much a difference."She said, Konan laughing a bit."You know, Dawn, you should try being a little girly for once and hang out more."She said. Dawn gagged."Tried it. Worst ten minutes of my life."She said. Konan sighed, smirking. She then came over and whispered to Dawn, "And don't let Madara near you at all if he talks about your kids. Don't trust him, don't be anywhere alone with him." Dawn nodded.

Konan said goodbye, Dawn nodding and leaving the office.

But, much to her shock, Tobi stood there, a red glow coming from the eyehole in his mask.

"So, Dawn, I hear that you and Hidan are successfully having children.."His dark voice said. Dawn glared."Yeah, so?"She snapped. Madara pinned her to the wall by her wrists."When those children of yours are born, you better watch out. Because they might disappear when you're sleeping. And you might not ever see them again."He warned. Dawn glared, forcing back tears at the thought of the events actually happening.

"T-Tobi?"

Madara immediately released Dawn, knowing that voice."Megan.."He stuttered, not knowing what to say. Megan shook her head."No. You gotta stop this. It's n-not right.."She said, about to cry. She ran off, Dawn smirking, and Madara glaring."You're lucky.."He growled, chasing after Megan.

Today was not a good day.

Though, later that night, as punishment for breaking Crysta, a certain miser slept on the couch.


I know.. I'm so evil. But the next chapter should be up soon. And you might hate me after next chapter, actually..
