Chapter *

All this time

 

He looked back periodically to see if she was ok. They had been walking for hours and he expected to see her fall over at any moment, but every time he looked back she was still walking upright and deep in thought.

 

`Just like her mother.' He thought with a smirk on his face.

 

He knew who she was the whole time, and it was no coincidence that they just happen to run into each other. He had been watching over them ever since the week Aiko was born. He was also the one to get help from the Med- nins when the fight broke out. He wanted to take her himself and make sure she was ok, but in order for his plan to have worked, he had to keep himself hidden until just the right moment. He watched her witness the young boys death, and followed until they were out of Konoha. That's when he silently jumped out of the tree a few yards away to meet her on the path. He asked to take her home only to see if she wanted to go back. He had already been planning to take her with him, but only if she was willing.

 

He looked back again to see her about to fall over and caught her before she hit the forest floor. He herd her soft snores and chuckled a little as he picked her up bridal style and continued walking.

~*~

When they arrived at their destination, Aiko was still sound asleep in his arms. As he stept into the lights of the camp fire he was greeted by Kisame, Deidara and Tobi.

 

Kisame, being his partner and companion, stayed with him even after the fall of the Akatsuki. Deidara and Tobi did the same and joined them a little afterwards.

 

“Hey, Itachi! What kept you so long, I was about to think you were either dead or captured!” He said, getting out another bottle of sake.

 

“Kisame, keep your voice down, yeah!” Deidara hissed.

 

“Why?” He asked, then Deidara nodded to the sleeping figure.

 

“Oh, oh! Who is she?” Tobi asked excitedly as Itachi layed his cloak on the ground and set her down on it.

 

“Yeah, Itachi? Who's the brat?” Kisame asked, taking a sip of sake.

 

Itachi sat down and stared into the fire.

 

“She's my daughter.”

 

Kisame spit the sake into the fire making it flare and making Tobi and Diedara jump up of the ground.

 

“WHAT?!?”

 

“SHHHHH!” Hissed Tobi and Deidara in unison.

 

“You've got to be joking!” Kisame whispered.

 

Itachi looked at him with his usual expressionless façade. He expected Kisame to react like this.

 

“Where are Hidan and Kakuzu?”

 

This time Tobi spoke up.

 

“Oh, them? They went to find work in the next town. We were running short on supplies and money and Tobi is tired of sleeping on the ground.”

 

They all staired but their gazes turned to Aiko when she started to shift in her sleep.

 

“Just as well, we probably should find somewhere to sleep tonight. The nights are starting to get colder and I don't want her to get sick. Her amunsystem is probably down from all the stress.”

 

“Stress?” Deidara asked worriedly, such a young child shouldn't have so much stress in her life.

 

“When I found her it was just outside of Konoha, which is several hours from here, and she had already been exhausted. She had run away after she watched her compainion die in the hospital.”

 

“Oh...” he whispered horsly. No, someone so young really didn't need anymore stress in their life.

 

“Awwwwwwwwww, That's so SAD!!!!!” Tobi cried dramaticly.

 

“SHUT UP TOBI, YEAH!!”

 

A rock collided with Tobi's head making the tears come faster but quieter.

 

“G-gomen s-s-sempai.” He sobbed rubbing the red bump on his head.

 

Kisame and Itachi almost sweat dropped at the rediculous site.

 

Suddenly snapping out of it, Tobi asked cheerfully, “So, where are we going to stay tonight?”

Also for lack of participation the contest was canceled. Ok and also to answer some Questions...

 

Q: “Why did Ichiro have to die?”

A: It sets the stage for the rest of the story, beleive me I tryed to think of alot of other sinairioes but this one had the intended turnout.

 

Also I changed the Title of the story because it was kinda getting off track, and rather than to put it back on track I just decided to change it!
