Chapter 10- Cousins of pain
I do not own Naruto.
Kori stood next to her cousin, Feona and waited on her best friend, Kinzoku. Since he wasn't at class for the whole day, the announcement that the teacher had made was being retold to him. Not to mention the lesson that he had to repeat after class was over.
"Kor, remind me why we're waiting for this kid." Feona was now throwing a bouncing ball that she had found on the floor and catching it neatly.
Kori turned to Feona and glared at her. "Because…"
"Hmmmphmmm? Continue." Feona had one finger on her ear and was leaning towards Kori as to hear her better.
Kori looked away and blushed lightly. Feona shook her head.
"Exactly." Feona grabbed Kori's arm and pulled. "Let's go to our room and wait for him there."
Kori nodded dumbly, flabbergasted that Feona could figure her out so easily. Feona shook her head again and led the way. Once they reached the room, Feona got the key, unlocked it, went inside with Kori and then re- locked it.
"Kori, we need to talk." Feona gazed at her with concern.
Kori snapped out of her trance and turned towards Feona with a frown on her face. She gazed at Feona cautiously . "What is it?"
Feona took a deep breath and nodded towards the door, obviously checking to see if anyone was there. Once she was satisfied she took a deep breath and began. "Well…", she began "how did the talk with Kinzo go?"
Kori eyed her with disgust. "His name is Kinzoku and is it really any of your business?"
" Hold on, don't get all grumpy. Are you mad because you couldn't wait for Kinzoku and make sure everything's okay?" she mocked Kori playfully.
Kori snarled and pushed Feona towards her bed. Feona's eyes widened . "Woah… Calm down Kori."
Kori bent down and smacked Feona across the face. "Just keep you nose out of me and Kinzoku's business. You don't know anything about us!" Before she even got a chance to breathe, she was pushed back against the door and Feona's hands were at her throat. Feona bent down just like Kori had done earlier and hissed in the girl's ear. "Don't ever slap me again."
Kori looked Feona in the eye and spit in her face. It hit right below her eye. Feona's eye twitched and then narrowed. "All I have to do is squeeze." Feona whispered.
"All I have to do is scream." Kori said this at a little louder volume. Feona's grip became tighter and like Kori said she would be, Kori started screaming along with punching, kicking biting, scratching and pulling. Feona spoke and even though it was a lower volume than Kori's screaming it somehow could be heard over the screaming. "You think that I don't know you… or Kinzoku? Hello! Kori, if you had opened your eyes just for one second you would see that I'm there! Everywhere you two go, I'm there too! I walk with you guys, I talk with you guys, we do things together and I don't know you!-"
"YOU WEREN'T THERE WHEN ME AND KINZOKU TALKED TO EACHOTHER! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HE SAID, WHAT I DIDN'T ALLOW HIM TO SAY OR WHAT I SAID!"
"WHO WAS THE ONE WHO GAVE YOU THE SUGGESTION TO TALK TO HIM, HMMM? WHO? WHO?! AND I BET THE CONVERSATION WENT THE WAY I SIAD IT WOULD!"
"YOU'RE NOT ! YOU ACT LIKE YOU KNOW EVERYTHING BUT YOU DON'T! YOU DON'T CONTROL MY LIFE! YOU DON'T CONTROL WHAT I SAY OR DO! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE YOU CAME FROM! YEAH YOU SAID YOU WERE AN ASSASIN, AND I'M A BOUNTY HUNTER! BIG DEAL! YOU SAID YOU CAME FROM A NINJA VILLAGE! OKAY! BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF YOU'RE A CRIMINAL! OR IF YOU'RE A MISSING NIN! MAYBE THERE'S A REASON WHY YOU'RE NOT AN ASSASIN ANYMORE! AND YOU JUST CAME INTO MY LIFE LIKE IN A INSTANT WITHOUT EVEN EXPLAINING WHY OR HOW AND YOU THINK IT'S OKAY! WELL IT'S NOT! IT'S NOT OKAY!"
"YOU DON'T KNOW ME! YOU DON'T WHAT HAPPENED TO ME IN THE PAST!"
"EXACTLY! AND I'M JUST TELLING YOU THAT YOU DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT ME EITHER! AND I'M ALSO TELLING YOU THAT YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUST COME INTO MY LIFE LIKE THAT! YOU DON'T KNOW ME AND YOU JUST COME IN LIKE YOU WALK THROUGH AN OPEN DOOR BUT THAT DOOR IS MY LIFE!"
"It's your fault for leaving it open for both me and Kinzuo, Kor." Suddenly Kori was dropped back on the ground just as Kinzoku came through the door. He looked at Feona's calm face to Kori's disbelieving face.
"What's going on?" he asked, worried that something big happened.
"You don't need to worry." Kori growled and got up off the ground and walked over to her bed and sat down staring at the floor. After a moment of quietness, Kinzoku spoke again.
"Don't you want to know what week we have for the competition next month?"
"Tell me about it." Kori mumbled, seemingly ashamed.
"First tell me what happened here."
Kori's head snapped up so fast that her neck cracked but she ignored it as she glared at Kinzoku with eyes ablaze.
"Or not…." Kinzoku cautiously backed up looking worried.
Soon a hiss filled the room and Kori was thrown to the opposite end of the wall. Kinzoku looked at Kori surprised and then looked over at Feona who had her eyes narrowed.
"I'm sick of you and your new attitude, Kori. Just tell him what happened. Don't go closing that door on us and don't forget why I'm here."
Kori got up, clutching her neck and turned her heated glare on Feona. "Also don't forget, Feona, why you shouldn't be here."
"It's all you Kori, you're the one who let me in. And now you want to get me back out? I don't think it works that way Kori. It's pretty hard to remove someone special to you. I'm pretty hard to remove."
"I want to remove you! I don't want you here! I don't love you! I hate you! I want you out of here! Out of my life! Out of everything! Out of the whole picture!"
"Kori…"
"OUT!"
"Fine! Just open the jammed door yourself then. And once you do that, good luck pushing me out."
"I WANT YOU OUT!"
AN: Okay hands up for who thinks Kori over reacted! Put your hands down. Hands up for who thinks Kori is just screwing up big time! Hands down. Hands up if you think that if Kori was really mad, two people would have been dead. Hands down. Hands up if you are confused at this point. Hands down. Hands up if you want me to start the next chapter with the Naruto world! Eh, doesn't matter I'll do it anyway.
