A Nocturne - Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Confusion Much?

Itachi's POV:

… Why is she resisting?

Akimi's POV:

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
I love Sasuke! NOT ITACHI!
…
I think.
RUNNING OUT OF BREATH HERE!
I pushed Itachi with all my might, and he stumbled backwards, a bit away from me. I sank to the floor, trying to catch my breath. When I did, I looked up to him.
"Dude, WHAT THE HELL?" I asked. Well, what can I say? It's the first thing that can to my blown away mind.
Blown away by what? You may ask…
Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll…. Itachi's lips, I guess. My face is like this, right now: (-_-")
I SERIOUSLY DID NOT THINK THAT. OH CRAP I DID.
"Nani?" He asked emotionlessly, backing away and sitting on my bed. Why does he have to be so damn hot? Eh? … Still not as hot as Gaara… EWWWWWWW. Gaara's my brotherrrrr! That's gross, Kimmy! Oh great, now I'm calling myself that "cute" nickname Gaara calls me. One day I will kill him for calling me that. I swear it.
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?" I yelled, resisting the urge to tear my hair out. Itachi just shrugged, wiped his lips with the back of his hand and then got up, walking out of the room and back to the lounge.
I sighed, getting up and going to collapse face first on my bed. I silently screamed into the pillow. WHY AM I SO CONFUSED? Oh yeah… coz they're all hot. Stupid hot Sasuke. Stupid hot Gaara (why am I including him in this?). Stupid hot Itachi! … Sleep.
And so that's what I did. Literally. I fell asleep.

Urei's POV:

I slipped in through Kimmy's window, noting the fact that she was sleeping. Pretty heavily too. That's new. She's never slept heavily… Wonder what happened. I went through to the lounge, spotting Gaara, Naruto and Sasuke surrounded by Akatsuki members and… NOT being attacked.
…
Then my eyes fell on Rei…
And boy, did I glare at him.
"Urei-chan…" He grinned at me, despite the hate –for him!- that was clearing radiating from my being.
"GET. LOST." Was my only response. Everyone kind of raised their eyebrows. Well… Gaara raised the skin where there should be eyebrows. Poor guy.
"Aww, but babe…" He got up and started walking towards me as I walked backwards.
"Rei, th-this isn't funny!" My voice broke and my body was trembling slightly. Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap!
"Rei, leave her alone." Kisame spoke. "I'm sure you were the one to take her virginity." But Rei kept his eyes on me, watching the way my body moved hungrily. He reached out, brushing my fringe away from my right eye, smiling.
"It's been longer than six years since I saw that side of your face…" He spoke gently. For a moment, I almost believed the old Rei was back. But noooooooooo. I slapped his hand away, scowling at him as my fringe fell back into place. "You'll regret that." He growled. I shivered.
"Don't you touch her, you teme!" Akimi yelled, appearing by me and hugging me tightly as tears fell down my face. I'm only 5'5"! She's younger than me and yet she's taller than me. I mentally frowned. SO NOT FAIR. Oh wait, keep your focus on Rei.
…
Why should I do that when I know what he's thinking, and everything that is going on in his head?
'Stupid brat of a sister. She should just go shag Gaara and Sasuke. But Urei… why is she afraid? I don't want to hurt her…' He thought.
"BULLCRAP." I yelled at him, and then covered my mouth with my hand, realizing what I had said. And that I'd given away my position. He just glared at me.
"Yo, Tategami, what's up?" Naruto asked me. I shook my head… well, shakily.
"Not the time, Uzumaki." Akimi and Rei were locked in a glaring contest, and I sighed, wiping my tears.
"Teme."
"Slut."
"Perverted man whore."
And the insults went on and on. I mentally sighed, before pulling their hair so they were yelping in pain.
"Will you two quit it if I let you go?" I asked with closed eyes. … It was always the same… The same… before… then. I nearly shuddered at the thought.
"No."
"No."
Those were my simultaneous answers. I yanked harder on their hair and they begged for me to let go. So I did, and they both fell on the floor.
"You deserved that." I told them, then stalked off to the kitchen so I could think. "KIMMY I'M HAVING AN APPLE." I informed her, not turning as I grabbed an apple and looked out of the windows.
"My apples…" I heard her fake a sob in the living room.

Akatsuki POV:

… Tategami? THE Tategami?

Kisame's POV:

Was she the exception to the clan? And what happened between her and Rei? How come she has so much control over the two Ramika's?

"Wait, wait, wait." Sasori spoke, "THE Tategami?" Speaking of the mysterious devil, she appeared at the kitchen door and leaned against the frame, eating the apple. That Akimi girl made another sob.
"Yes. I am THE Tategami. Idiot." She took another bite of the apple. Sasori remained calm, despite the insult.
"The exception to the clan?" The girl froze, staring at Sasori. Her chewing had paused and her pale complexion had gotten paler.
"…" She didn't answer; instead binning the apple and walking out of the room.
"What's up with that slag?" Hidan asked.
"Ah… I guess…" Akimi sat down on Gaara's lap, and he happily pulled her against his body. "Well… Urei told me the Tategami clan usually got these… powers, I guess, at eighteen years of age. Her's were forced into activation at twelve… Because… because Rei," she turned her hardened stare onto him, and he looked out of the window, "tried to rape her. Her body didn't take it well, and she has eaten very little since she was twelve. She was once a kind hearted, happy girl. That monster turned her into a closed and cold-hearted mysterious woman. Never has she let a boy near her again."
"Talking about cold-hearted people…" Rei shifted his gaze to his sister.
"Urei knows you said that… I'd give it… 3… 2… 1." Urei appeared and slapped Rei around the head.
"DON'T. Speak about nee-chan like that you asshole." As quick as she came, she disappeared.
"… Told you." Akimi simply spoke.

Akimi's POV:

I could feel Gaara tense against my back. Well… He got tenser than usual. I knew what he was thinking. It was the same as my own thoughts.
'… He hurt nee-chan.' I thought. That single thought ran through my mind as I closed my eyes. I felt my chakra just… bubbling. As though it was trying to escape. Gaara somehow… felt this change in my thoughts and chakra and hugged me tight, resting his chin on the top of my head. Slowly my chakra went back to normal and I fell asleep.

Naruto's POV:

My eyes widened and I stared at Kimmy-chan's sleeping form.
"Her chakra almost reached a Jinchuuriki level…" I mumbled, shocked.
"… I know." Gaara spoke. He closed his own eyes. "Everyone, out. I plan to take her to Suna today."
Everyone complied. It was a surprise to the former Jinchuuriki. Akatsuki left the village unnoticed, and Urei, Sasuke and me went home.

-Skip three days-

Akimi's POV:

I shifted, uncomfortable on whatever I was lying on.
"Kimmy, get off me." I opened my eyes to see my head was lying on Gaara's stomach. In his room. … … …
I screamed, and backed off. He just blinked at me.
"WTF happened?!?!" I asked. He shrugged, telling me nothing happened. Maybe I fell asleep on him again. I've been doing that a lot, lately.
"You need to go train today." He told me. I nodded and got up, relieved to find I was in my clothes and he in his.
…
Lately, there's just been this big… bubble inside of me. I don't know why. Its not wind, before you ask. It's something… bigger, more dangerous and destructive.
I was quick to get to the Suna training grounds, happy that no-one else was there. Obviously it was early morning. Like usual. Gaara will come watch me soon. I know he will. That's what he does. Maybe I'll try to leave Suna when he has a lot of paper work to do.
Training seemed too… empty. It felt like that a lot lately.
I just… imagined Rei; and then… there was this explosion. I was knocked unconscious for who knows how long, but when I woke, Gaara was kneeling worriedly beside me. Along with some of the villagers.
"What happened?" He asked quietly.
"I actually have no clue." I responded.
