Itachi's POV

CRRRINGG!! CRINGGG! CRIIIII----

I turned the irritating alarm off and gently rubbed my eyes. Stupid eyes. They're causing me migraines again. Oh, how lovely to wake up in the morning and cuss out loud because you're fuckin' head hurts like hell!

Ah, yes.

I made my way out the room and prepared for an even bigger migraine..

I looked around, scanning the vicinity. Where are those rascals?

"Tachi-nii,"

I sighed and averted my gaze at the little kid staring expectantly at me. I smiled, "What is it, Sasuke?"

My five-year-old baby brother frowned at me. He crossed his little arms and pouted. Interesting.

"You pwomised to twain with me today!!"

Suddenly, a pang of nostalgia washed over me. Why are those words so familiar? Ugh. I then had an urge to tease the little Uchiha----who tried to kill me several times in the past and even swore on our clan's blood to have me beheaded. Hmm... seems legit.

I reached out my hand towards his forehead.

"Maybe next time, little Sasu------!!!"

BOOOOOOOOOM!

I tore my gaze away from the toddler.
"What the heck?!" But before I could even move a muscle, I suddenly felt someone liking my outstretched index finger.

I snapped my head and saw a blonde kid grinning at me while carrying a bag full of Deidara's explosive clay bombs.

"Yosh!! Good mownin' Tachi-nii!"

I raised an eyebrow. "Morning, Naruto.. hey, where's Sasuke?"

The small orange....thingy... lazily pointed to a certain direction. "He's flirting with Saku-chan! Psh!! Bastawd...."

I followed his gaze and spotted a giggling pinkette with a small sack being carried on her back. I almost laughed when I noticed the sack continuously moved.

I smirked, "Hi, Sakura-chan. What have you got in there?"

She flashed me an almost toothless smile. "I just caught a ducky! Qwack! Qwack!!"

I shook my head. "I believe ducks don't yell profanities and death threats...but, go ahead."

She happily nodded and started walking down a hallway when someone blocked her path. We all looked up and saw a not-so-amused redhead sending warning glares at her.

I watched the miniature Haruno beauty cowered in fear.

"A-Ahhh.....H-Hi, Sasowi-nii! You look so cute! H-Have you done something to you'we haiw? H-Hahahaha.."

"Now, now, my little Sakura.. what have we got here? Haven't I told you just a few seconds ago to finish your damn breakfast? You can kidnap that Uchiha puppy after, my dear."

Brown eyes bore into green ones. Sakura's lips quivered but eventually, she threw the sack away and followed Akasuna to the still-functioning-yet-doesn't-look-like-one-anymore kitchen.

BLAAAG!

"OUCHY!! HAWUNO!! WHY DIDN'T YOU DON'T PUT ME DOWN GENTLY!!?! YOU'WE ANNOYING!! GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!"

Foolish little brother.

I shrugged my shoulders and made a beeline for the bathroom. But before I could even take five steps, I stepped on something. Curiously, I picked it up and recognized it as Pein's certificate of birth......with a drawing of a cats and flowers.. and smileys.... or are they rocks?

It didn't take too long before I heard Pein's loud and angry voice.

"WHERE IS THAT LITTLE------!?"

But before Pein could even continue his ranting, another frustrated creature popped out of nowhere with an emotionless Sai in his arms..

...with a paint brush.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!! TACHI NII-SAN!! TOBI THINKS YOU NEED TO HIDE SAI-CHAN!! TOBI THINKS PEIN-SAMA WILL BAN SAI-CHAN FROM THE TOILETS AGAIN, YEAH!!! THEN ZETSU-SEMPAI WILL GET ANGRY AGAIN BECAUSE SAI-CHAN WILL PEE ON HIS GRASS AGAIN THEN TOBI KNOWS ZETSU-SEMPAI WILL EAT TOBI'S OTHER LIMB!!! HUHUHUHU!!"

I frowned, "Call do----!"

"THEN TOBI WILL NOT BE TOBI BECAUSE TOBI WILL BE UGLY WITH NO ARMS, TACHI!! HOW WILL TOBI EAT KONAN-CHAN'S CANDY WITH NO ARMS??!?!?!?!"

"Tobi----!"

"AHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUH!!!!"

"Ugh." =__=

An animated vein popped out of my forehead as I shook Tobi by his shoulders.

"Tobi!! Just.. ugh! Just get a hold of yourself! No one will be peeing on the grass or be loosing a limb, got it?!"

He nodded and sniffed. "Hai, hai.."

I sighed. And then, I remembered,

"Where's Sai? He was just-------"

"OOPPSIES!"

I immediately spun around and saw Sai with a painbrush tainted witb white paint. I hurriedly checked my cloak and saw the words,

Me iS a WeasLe!

Painted on it.

I bit the inside of my cheek to surpress my anger.

These kids... they've been here for only a week! I never knew handlig a bunch of five-year-olds can be very, VERY stressful. And the worst part?

Starting today, Pein will assign us to take care of them, one by one... for THREE MONTHS.

Oh, Kami-sama.. spare me!

"Hn. This is what I meant by a migraine."
