Okay... here is the 10th chapter -points towards her bed- and there is my bed... -slides towards it- Enjoy the chapter... while i enjoy my 'bed' (I sleep on a chair...because I'm weird... that and I seem to fall asleep better in a chair then a bed.)

†

I opened my eyes, groaning 'God I hate mornings…' I peered down to my side and saw a blonde bundle against my chest. I lifted my arm and began running my fingers in her hair.

"Nng…" I heard her grumble, as she snuggled closer into me before lifting her head slowly. I watched as she yawned, rubbing her eyes, then stared down at me. I stared into her maroon colored orbs, in slight shock.

"Mornin `Suke." She yawned again then raised her brow. "What's wrong?" she asked, cocking her head to the side. "Your eyes…. They are maroon, not the sapphire that they normally are." Her eyes widened as she got up from the bed to find the mirror to look into.

Instead she crashed into Kyuubi, who also stared into her eyes in shock. 'Least now I know it isn't normal for her eyes….'

I watched as Kyuubi gripped Akuma's face and forced her to look at him. "Akuma… why is the color of your eyes different?" she growled "I don't know? Kyuu-chan you are hurting me can you please let go." Kyuubi quickly let go of her face saying sorry.

"I have a theory." I stated from the bed, making the two look at me. "Akuma got hit pretty hard and cut up pretty hard…" I started before Kyuubi cut me off. "Yes that is an obvious theory Sasuke, however Akuma's eyes were this color at birth and they changed to sapphire, now that they are maroon again… it is weird."

"Oh good morning you guys, I'm heading down to make breakfast now." I saw my mother say, smiling at us as she headed for the stairs. I looked over to Akuma and Kyuubi, who turned back to me, we all shrugged.

Akuma turned back into the room and looked around for her clothes and pouted when she couldn't find them. "Oh yes Akuma, Mikoto told me last night that she grabbed your clothes to wash it and touch up some of it… She saw how ruined your small set of clothes was." Kyuubi laughed as Akuma turned pale. I raised my brow.

"Akuma has only 2 sets of clothes, she tends to borrow some from me since I have a lot due to Jiraiya always tossing me his old clothes along with Itachi. Akuma is so small and such, she can't fit into any women's clothing, and refuses to."

I looked over to Akuma who was glaring at him. "Now Mikoto will probably try to drag me to get more clothes!" she said through gritted teeth. I raised my brow and walked over to my dresser, opening it and pulling out some clothes. I walked over to Akuma and plopped the clothes on her head.

She reached her hand up to her head and pulled the clothes off it then turned to me blushing. "Ah… thank you teme." I grinned then went back to the dresser for a set of clothes for myself. Kyuubi raised his brow and smiled "That's right, Akuma can fit in a lot of your old clothing, I forgot that she can fit in your clothes since they are baggy and that's how she normally wears them."

Kyuubi stared down at Akuma's jacket then grinned, getting ready to grab it. Akuma noticed his gaze and kicked him out, quickly closing and locking the door. "Aw common Aku-chan!" Akuma snorted "It's mine Kyuu-chan! So niya." She pushed herself off the door and sat on the floor, placing the clothes in front of her.

"Crap…. Now I can't go into the bathroom and change like I planned." I grinned and sat down on my bed, watching as Akuma decided on how she was going to change out of her nightgown. She puffed out her cheeks and stared at me. "Turn around." She demanded; I grinned and rested my head on my hand, staring right back at her. "No."

"Damn it teme I want to change out of my nightgown!" she growled, glaring at me. "And? You can change perfectly fine." I grinned slightly as her mouth dropped. "Teme! You're watching me!"

"So? I see nothing wrong…. Nor with the idea of me watching." I watched as she choked on her saliva and turned beat red. "Why are you so mean?" she pouted, crossing her arms. "Well would you rather me help you get dressed?" she stared at me, turning even more red. "Fine!"

She took off her shirt and grabbed the one I gave her, quickly putting it on. She stood up and kicked off the pants and pulled on the ones I gave her then she hunted around my room for her jacket. "Teme where is my jacket?" I leaned back, grinning.

She looked over to me and growled, stomping over and leaning over to grab the jacket from behind me. I smirked and grabbed her by the shirt and pulled her into a kiss.

"Sasuke, Akuma, breakfast is done! Come on down before Itachi and Kyuubi eat it all!" I groaned against Akuma's lips and reluctantly let her go. I quickly changed while Akuma was still in the state of shock. I leaned over to the bed and picked up her jacket.

I looked at Akuma who still hadn't moved, and put her jacket on her. I leaned down and kissed her again then pulled her downstairs with me.

"Ah there you two are, I almost sent Itachi and Kyuubi up to find you guys." I pulled Akuma in the kitchen further and forced her to sit down. I sat down next to her and began eating.

"Akuma, are you alright hun? You seem out of it and your eyes are maroon and no longer sapphire." My mother put her hand on Akuma's shoulder, looking concerned. "Ah what? I'm sorry I zoned out earlier… um… we aren't sure why they are maroon again rather than sapphire." Kyuubi nodded then explained to my mother about Akuma's eyes.

Akuma's POV

'I can't believe Sasuke kissed me twice! Oh my god, what does this mean… this is so confusing…' I wanted to hit my head on something to get my thoughts straight. "Oh Akuma dear, you need more clothing. I saw how you had practically nothing for clothes so I want to get you some more clothing." I groaned, causing Kyuubi and Itachi to laugh.

"I have some old clothes she can have. According to Kyuubi my clothes would fit her nicely since she prefers baggy boys clothes." I looked over at Sasuke as he put out the fact of giving me some of his clothes onto the table.

I looked back over to Mikoto who rubbed her chin then nodded. "Being around a boy all her life, I guess killed all her feminine side." Mikoto said laughing slightly.

After breakfast, Sasuke led me back to his room where he started pulling out a lot of clothes that he wanted me to have. "Your clothes are so plan!" I grumbled, making Sasuke laugh. I scratched my head and stared at Sasuke.

"Hey teme." I said. Sasuke turned to face me "Hn?" I scrunched up my nose but ignored his short answer. "There is a song that reminds me of you." He raised his brow "Oh?" I nodded and grinned "Frozen…"

He narrowed his eyes at me "How am I even related to that song?" I laughed "Well duh, your nickname in grade school was the ice prince! With you being such a teme… Frozen matches you pretty nicely." He growled then tossed the pile of clothes on top of me.

"H-Hey!" I shouted, trying to untangle myself from the pile. Finally making it out of the pile I glared at him "What was that for?" he smirked and sat down in his chair. "Hey! God you are so mean!" I crossed my arms pouting.

I looked down at the clothes and folded them up and put them into the box that held the stuff Sasuke had gotten me.

I sat down on the bed and watched Sasuke play a spider solitaire on his laptop. "Ne Sasuke, is Kyuubi going back to our apartment after school tomorrow or is he staying here?" Sasuke turned around in his chair and propped his legs up, pulling the laptop around and setting it on his lap.

"He is going back to the apartment, while you of course are staying here due to your wounds. How do you feel by the way?" I stared down at my cuts and sighed. "They hurt a lot… I know I can't like around you because you will force it out of me since you are mean. I've managed to stay awake for a long period of time though!" I watched as Sasuke glared at me.

"So you have been forcing yourself to stay awake… Akuma yesterday might have been your birthday but no one would have minded you going to sleep. Everyone knew you got attacked during gym, they were expecting you to fall asleep." He rubbed his hand on his forehead and sighed.

I looked away, frowning "Sorry… it was just… I was having so much fun; I didn't want to fall asleep… so I forced myself to stay awake as long as everyone else." Sasuke lifted up his laptop and placed it on his desk, getting up from his chair and sat down next to me.

"You're tired now, I can tell, so stop pushing yourself. Go to sleep now, when you wake up we will have to renew your bandages." I nodded slowly. Sasuke sighed once more and pushed me down to his pillow. "Bed, now." He commanded.

I blushed and closed my eyes, slowly drifting off into sleep. I heard Sasuke sigh again and mumble something before leaving his room.
