It was just another day in Akatsuki. But somehow, there's a frown on everyone's face.

*/*\*/*\*

Pein's P.O.V.

Don't call me an emotionless freak. I know something is wrong, and I am worried. Even if I don't show it.

I looked at the calendar.

Ah, so that's why.

I sighed heavily, as I put down my pen, and stood up.

Time sure goes fast. It has been a year since she ran away.

I don't mind. I'm worried, yes, but it's better if she leaves, than staying here. This is a criminal organization. Not a good place for a little girl to grow up in. Even if her father is here, he ignored her. It doesn't make any big difference.

"I bet they're all still in their room." I muttered, as I exited my office.

And, again, I'm right.

I seated myself in front of the kitchen table, and rubbed my temples.

No food.

Konan didn't cook this morning. She must be mourning in her room.

And the last time I ate is yesterday, at breakfast.

Life sucks, isn't it?

Especially when you lead a group of depressed, mentally retarded criminals who are crying over a 5 years old girl.

*/*\*/*\*

Konan's P.O.V.

I hugged my pillow, still sitting at the edge of my bed.

Munching another cookie, I began to play with another paper, this time shaping it into a rose.

Her favorite flower.

"Ara..." I whispered, as I starts sobbing again.

I miss her. I miss my cute little goddaughter. I miss her laugh, I miss her rants, I even miss her pranks.

Why did you leave?! Did we hurt you? Do you hate us? What did we do wrong?! Please tell us! Let us fix our mistake! Just come back! I miss you, Ara!

*/*\*/*\*

Zetsu's P.O.V. (White Zetsu: Normal ; Black Zetsu: Italic)

"It has been 365 days."

"Stop. Just stop, idiot. You said that everyday." 

"No I don't. Yesterday I said 364!"

"It's not- Ugh! You're annoying!"

"You're so cruel."

"Problem? We're cannibal. Of course we're cruel!"

"... I wonder what she's doing right now."

"Who? Karasu?"

"Yeah."

"She's eating chocolate?"

"She loves lollipops more."

".... Maybe candies?"

"Maybe."

"You know, I think this argument is pointless."

"... True."

"I hope she's happy. Happier than here."

"Agree." 

*/*\*/*\*

Orochimaru's P.O.V.

That girl sure changes everyone. All the other members were still in their room.

And I understand.

But I still wonder why does she decided to leave. I know that her father didn't treat her nicely. But she's still lucky to have him.

I wonder what did Kakuzu said that made her so upset.

Kisame told me that she's now in Konoha.

That place suits her. The weather, the people. As long as no one hurts her, it's alright for me.

*/*\*/*\*

Sasori's P.O.V.

I chuckled slightly, as I put down the puppet I had just finished.

The puppet is much smaller than most of my collections. It, or she, as I prefer to call, has snow white hair. Empty magenta orbs staring emotionlessly at me. She's wearing a simple white dress, with the kanji of crow at the back.

Wait a minute.

She resembles... Karasu? Why do I even make Ara? She's not a puppet.

She's my... little sister?
Yeah, I think I can call her that.

I sighed, as I ran my fingers through the puppet's soft hair.

"Everything change when you left..." I muttered, "It has been a year. We managed to cope with your disappearance, but we need you. You might be the smallest, the youngest, and the most innocent one here, but that's what we need."

"We just need a reason to keep our humanity."

*/*\*/*\*

Kisame's P.O.V.

I was planning on visiting Ara, but Leader-sama, being the jerk he is, doesn't allow me. Wasting time, he said.

That bastard.

I don't have anything else to do, so, unlike the other retarded peoples in the hideout, I decided to take a walk.

And my feet brought me to a small lake.

A lake where Ara used to swim.

I still remember the first time I teach her how to walk on water. She fell on her first try, and for minutes she didn't came up. I got worried, and jumped into the water as well.

I found her talking with a small fish.

Of course, I scolded her. But she just smiled, saying that she's just being kind to the little fish.

I never understand her.

But however, she did bring some light to our dark organization.

*/*\*/*\*

Kakuzu's P.O.V.

It has been a year. A year since my baby girl disappeared. A year since I lost the light of my life.

A year full of regret.

I gripped the photo in my hand. It is the photo of Karasu, her white hair is messy, and her whole body is drenched, but she's grinning in excitement, holding a small blue butterfly on her finger.

She's beautiful, just like her mother.

"Ara..." I whispered, as tears escaped from my eyes, "I'm sorry. I'm so, so, sorry... Please forgive me..."

It was all my fault. I shouldn't have said that. I should have take her to that festival.

I should have...

I should have loved her.

I should have treated her better. I should have show that I don't hate her. I shouldn't have ignored her.

I really understand why don't I treat her like a normal father. I don't recall having anyone who love me ever since I was little. I don't recall having anyone who took care of me. Thus, I don't know how to be a parent.

Even the first love I experience in with her. Karasu's mother.

And when she gave birth to Ara, she said that she already had a 2 years old son. She told me to find him. I promised her that I will take care of both her children, that boy and Ara.

I failed both.

I don't even know that boy's name. I hardly ever talk to Ara.

When Ara left, I realized how much I need her in my life.

I'm willing to pay however much, as long as I can start over. I just need to Ara to really be my daughter.

I lost that chance, I know.

I just hope that she's happy now. I hope she has someone who cares about her more than their own lives, who will hug her when she cries, someone who will protect her as her father, someone who will understand her as her brother, who will stand by her as her friend.

But maybe,

Maybe one day she will forgive me.

And we will be a little happy family.
Me, my daughter, and her half-brother.
