Chapter !)
Coffee with a side of Introductions!
 
Aiko walked into the kitchen behind Tobi. At the time, only three people were sitting at the table: Itachi-ahem-her dad, a blond man, and across from him, an oddly blue-skinned, shark-like man. Her father was sitting next to the shark man so she took the seat across from him, next to the blond and Tobi took the seat next to her.
 
Itachi looked up from his coffee and gave her an almost unnoticable smile.
 
“Good morning. Did you sleep well?” he asked, the smile slipping casually off his face.
 
“Yeah, it was alright.” she said. Then she remembered the dream she had. It had seemed so real. She quickly pushed it to the back of her mind.
 
“Would you like some lunch?” The blond asked from beside her.
 
“Oh, yes please! And...do- do you think it'd be alright if I had some coffee?” She asked, looking back toward her father.
 
Itachi raised an eyebrow at her.
 
“Does your mother usually let you drink coffee?” He asked, because in all honesty it really did sound like something Sakura would do without so much as a second thought.
 
“Yeah, usually in the mornings to help me wake up,” she said, turning her head down to look at the hands in her lap. “I- I'm not usually a morning person.”
 
He looked at her, smiling inwardly. She was their child after all.
 
“Well, I can't say that you get it from just her, I'm not really a morning person myself.” He said grabbing a cup out of the cabinet and filling it with the black liquid. “Do you you like cream and sugar?”
 
“No, just black please.”
 
He raised his eyebrow at her.
 
“Hn.”
 
`Really, what had Sakura been teaching their daughter?' he smirked, but the smirk vanished as he turned around.
 
Setting the coffee on the table in front of her, he sat down across from her.
 
“Blah! How can you stand that stuff without sugar or even cream, yeah! Besides, what are you? 7 years old!”
 
“I'm 11, thank you very much!”
 
“See? It stunts your growth too, yeah!”
 
“Why do you keep saying `yeah'?”
 
The blond blushed at the question.
 
“It's-it's a speech problem, ok?!” he shouted.
 
“Deidara...” Itachi growled from behind closed eyes. “I would prefer it if you would stop shouting at her.”
 
Aiko gasped.
 
“You're Deidara!”
 
“Yeah, why?”
 
“Mama talked about you all the time! You were best friends, weren't you?”
 
“Well...yeah! I guess we were!” He said, suddenly grinning.
 
The shark like man suddenly spoke up.
 
“We all were. I'm Kisame.”
 
“Oh, yeah, she mentioned you quite a few times! And Hidan and Kakuzu, too!”
 
“Oi, who called our fucking names!!!”
 
“In here, yeah!”
A man with silver hair and a blue cloak walked in followed by a man with a mask covering the bottom half of his face and a white hood covering the top of his head.
 
“Hey, who's the brat?”
 
Itachi glared at Hidan.
 
“The `brat' of whom you speak, would be my daughter.”
 
Hidan's pinkish eyes widened as he bent forward to get a better look at her.
 
“No shit!” He laughed, “She looks just like you! Well...other than the fact that she's a she, and I can't imagine you getting pink streaks for the world! Fuck...so this is you and Sakura's kid, huh? What's her name?”
 
Aiko couldn't help but blink at his language. Until, that is, she herd him ask her name.
 
“My name is Aiko.” she said softly catching his attention.
 
Hidan stared at her for a few seconds, before straightening himself back up while symotaniously running a hand through his slick hair.
 
“Well, shit. Anyway I'm fucking tired as hell, I'm going to bed.”
 
“Tobi.” Tobi turned towards Itachi when he herd his name called. “Take Aiko outside for a walk I will be there shortly.”
 
Tobi nodded his head, and turned toward Aiko.
 
“Come on, I`ll show you the garden!” He said cheerfully.
 
They walked out into a little court yard with a cobblestone floor. Boardering the whole inside wall was a vairiety of vines and flowers. In the middle sat a small glass patio table with a couple of whitewash rodiron chairs.
 
Tobi took a seat in one of the chairs and Aiko took the other one. It was just about two o' clock, and the sun cast the perfect shadow on the courtyard.
 
They sat in compatable silence for a while until Aiko spoke up.
 
“Hey Tobi, how old are you?”
 
He looked at her and, though she could not see it through his mask, she could tell he was confused.
 
“It's just that you act so much younger than the others, I was just wondering how someone like you could have come to know my father.”
 
“...Well, I joined the Akatsuki when I was about 13, about a year later you were born, so now I'm...” he counted on his fingers. “I'm 23!”
 
“Oh.... Hey, what's Akatsuki?”
 
“It was an organization that we were all in. Our goal was to take the world into our own hands, some did it for more power, other did it to make the world better. Like your dad and I.”
 
“Oh.”
 
They both looked up when they saw Deidara walk in the door. He glanced at Aiko then spoke to Tobi in a low voice.
 
“Tobi,” he nodded at Aiko.
 
“Aiko stay here, ok. I'll be back.” He walked out of her hearing distance.
 
“Hiden and Kakuzu have just brought back news on some Trackers. Itachi wants you to take Aiko back to her room and keep her there. Then go pack your things, we have to leave now, yeah!”
 
He nodded his head once as Deidara turned and started back down the hall.
 
Tobi turned around and rushed towards Aiko. She looked up, shocked when he was suddenly at her side.
 
“What's going on? What did he say?”
 
“We have to go, ok.” He said grabbing her hand.
 
Starting down the hall towards their rooms, he rushed as fast as he could. There was no mistaking the sence of urgency in Deidara's voice.
 
Quickly opening the door to her room, Tobi ushered her into her room.
 
“Tobi, what is going on?”
 
“I can't explain just yet, just stay here, ok. I promise I'll be right back.”
 
“Ok, sure.”
 
And sure enough, 5 min. after he had left he was back with a small backpack slung over his shoulder. He walked over to her bed and sat down. Sitting next to him she looked up and gave him a worried look.
 
“Don't worry, it'll be alright.”
 
Then came a knock at the door. Tobi hooped up and hurriedly scrambled to unlock the door. As soon as he got it open, Itachi walked through.
 
“We need to hurry. Tobi do you think you can carry Aiko on your back.”
 
He nodded once, and suddenly Itachi was practically in his face.
 
“If you drop her I swear it's the last mistake you'll ever make.” He said through clunched teeth.
 
Gulping, Tobi nodded his head franticly.
 
“Right then,” He said slowly backing away. “Let's go.”
