-Naruto's POV-

I wake up on Itachi's lap, I sat up while rubbing my eyes.

"Daddy... 'm hungry..." I mumble.

"I'll get some ramen or something." Sasori sighs and digs around the kitchen.

Itachi strokes my hair and I lean into his touch.

I wonder why I feel happy about this.

Why am I happy being babied by S-rank criminals?

Besides... There only taking care of me because they need Kurama and will kill me soon.

"Naruto? What's wrong?" Itachi asks wiping a tear off my face.

"Daddy..." I mumble and press my face against his chest.

He looks at me with a frown.

"Daddy... Are you, Sori (Sasori), Kuzu (Kakuzu) , Deidei (Deidara), Tobi, Tsu (Zetsu), Same (Kisame) and Hii (Hidan) gonna kill me?" I ask.

They all visible flinch.

"B-But I love you all... D-Don't you love me too?" I cry.

I know I haven't had the chance to get to know all of them but I still feel like I love them.

Silence took over and all anyone could hear are my cries.

"Naruto... We won't kill you... How did you get that idea?" Itachi asks.

I don't answer and just sob into his chest.

He looks up at everyone.

-Itachi's POV-

I look at everyone and they all had guilty looks on there faces even though Naruto only had the chance to play with Sasori and Kakuzu.

Clearly, having the ball of sunshine in there lives brightened them up a whole lot more.

Just being in his presence can heal you...

"Naruto... Why don't you eat lunch, you're hungry right?" I ask.

He nods and rubs his eyes.

I hand him to Kisame, who, this time didn't complain about Naruto.

Sasori hands the Ramen cup to Naruto.

"Thanks Sori..." He mumbles and starts eating his ramen.

While Naruto was eating his ramen, Deidara and Hidan decided it was a good time to start an argument.

"The fuc- Shi- Hell are you talking about!" Hidan yells.

"He just needs a ride in the sky!!" Deidara yells back.

"He needs to take a walk!!!" Hidan yells back.

"Sky!!"

"Walk!!"

"Sky!!!!!"

"Walk!!!!!"

"Deidei! Hii! Don't fight!" Naruto yells worriedly.

They were about to yell again when they notice it was Naruto who was stopping them.

Deidara sighs.

"Whatever... This is a waste of time." He says and leaves.

Hidan rolls his eyes.

Naruto looks at both of them as they both leave.

"Naruto... Don't worry about those two." I smile a bit.

He climbs into my lap and nods an 'ok'.

I think about how Naruto has only been here a while and everyone was already attached to him.

Even Deidara and Hidan were fighting on how to cheer him up... But when they saw how sad he was because they were fighting, they stopped arguing immediately.

I stand up and take him to my room.

"Naruto... How old are you?" I ask.

"Stwill sixteen." He replies.

"You do realise that they will kill you right?" I ask.

He nods and frowns.

"B-But... Still..." He says.

I sigh.

"And what's with the Daddy thing?" I ask.

He huffs and crosses his arms.

"Because you seem like a daddy." He says.

I just realised that he doesn't have the baby talk anymore...

"Fine whatever." I sigh once again.

He smiles.

"Now that's the Naruto I know." I say patting his head.

"Daddy~" He whines as I mess his blonde hair up.

I chuckle.

"Now go and have fun with whoever you want." I say waving him off.

"Yay!!" He laughs and jumps off the bed.

-Naruto's POV-

I run around looking for Deidara.

When I reached his room, I push the door open and see him making sculptures.

"Deidei!!" I yell happily and climb on his lap.

"Geh?! Pipsqueak?" He asks.

"I'm not a pipsqueak!" I say in mock anger, hitting his chest lightly.

He laughs.

"Your a pipsqueak to me, Pipsqueak." He says.

I huff once again.

"Play with me!" I ask in a demanding tone.

"Hm. I don't see why not. Come with me." He says and stands up.

I run happily with him towards the garden again.

He makes a huge bird from clay and I stare at it in awe.

"Climb on." He says standing on the bird.

"But Deidei... What if I fall?" I ask.

"I'll hold onto you." He says.

I grin and jump on, holding onto his leg.

The bird slowly takes off into the air and I squeal.

"Deidei!! I'm flying!" I bounce excitedly.

"Un!" He replies with a smirk.

He makes the bird fly around and out of the village.

We soon come across Konoha and I freeze.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"That place looks familiar." I lie, pointing to Konoha, I know it's familiar because I live there but I still had to play along.

Deidara frowns.

"... Pipsqueak..." He calls.

I look up.

"Don't ever come here ok? Stay close to the Akatsuki." He says in a serious tone.

My eyes widen a little.

I thought he hated me.

"Does that mean that Deidei loves me?" I ask.

He hesitates a bit but looks down at me.

"Yea. I... Love you Pipsqueak." He says placing a hand on my head.

I smile happily and cling to his leg tightly.

Suddenly a kunai comes flying this way.

Deidara glares and makes the bird dodge.

"Pipsqueak. We're going back home now." He says in a rush.

I obey quietly and he takes us home as fast as he can.

But before he could reach the hideout, he stopped.

"Deidei?" I ask.

"We're being followed by Konoha Ninjas." He says quietly.

I fear for the worst.

Without him noticing, I slip past and see who was following us.

It was Kakashi, Sakura, Shikamaru and Hinata!

I ran back to Deidara.

"Where did you go? Stay close to me!" Deidara says worried.

I nod.

He picks me up and sighs.

I notice Kakashi and them above us.

There spying on us...

"Come on Pipsqueak. We better get back." Deidara says.

"Deidei..." I say.

He looks at me.

I signal with my eyes that there was someone above us.

"Damn it." He cusses.

"Deidei! Please don't hurt them..." I say.

"Do you know them?" He asks, probably worried my memories came back.

"No, but it's bad to hurt people." I lie once again.

Deidara sighs.

"Fine." He says.

I smile.

He holds me close to his body.

"Oi. Whoever is there. I want to talk." He says.

Kakashi jumped down with a kunai in hand.

I hold onto Deidara.

"Can you put the kuani away? You're scaring pipsqueak here." Deidara sighs.

Sakura, Shikamaru and Hinata jump down as well.

I look at them and frown... What if they take me away.

"Kakashi-sensei. I don't think he'll attack. He has a...child" Shikamaru says.

Kakashi sighs and puts the Kunai away.

"Why do you have a child?" Kakashi asks.
