Chapter 10 Homebound

It took a good amount of time for them to drive all the way back to PA. Akina was refuseing to let either brother drive, untill she almost killed them when she fell asleep behind the wheel.

"That's it! I'm driving while you get some sleep." Dean yelled as he made Akina pull over and get out. She was still protesting.

"I'm fine. It's not like we were THAT close to the tree." She said as innocently as she could. "I even think it jumped out at us. Maybe it's possessed!"

"The tree wasn't possessed now move over and let me drive." Her and Dean were locked in a stareing contest. Sam was watching from the backseat. He got fed up and got out of the car.

"Ok both of you get in the back and sleep. I'll drive." Both Dean and Akina turned to Sam. They were both about to argue untill they saw the serious look in his eyes. Both mumbled fine and got into the back. "Good."

"I'm laying on you I hope you know that." She said as she looked at Dean. He rolled his eyes. Like he was going to argue with that. She layed down and got comfy. She was almost asleep when she felt something on her. She looked up at Dean.

"You looked cold." He said with a small smile. She returned the smile.

"Thanks." Both fell into a peaceful sleep, leaving Sam in silence. He drove the rest of the way. He pulled the car over when he saw the 'Welcome to Carbondale' sign.

"Wake up guys. We're here." He shook his brother and Akina. They sat up and rubbed the sleep out of their eyes. "I didn't know where to go from here so I figured you better drive."

"At least you won't kill us this time."

"Shut up ass." She said as she got out of the car, smacking Dean in the head as she exited. "We're getting some coffee first I hope you know that." She got into the drivers seat and they were off to Dunkin Donuts. Akina was sitting on the hood of her car as the brother's went inside. 'Maybe I should of went through the drive throu?' She thought as she waited. They came out a few minutes later. Dean handed Akina her's and leaned against the car next to where she was sitting.

"So how far to your house?" Sam asked as he took a sip of his coffee. She put her head down and looked at the ground.

"A few blocks. We should get going." She got back into the car and drove off to her childhood home. The went onto a back road and pulled up infront of the house that she grew up in. They all got out and Sam looked over at his brother. Both boys were in amazement that this house was still standing. "Nice isn't it? It looks better now, trust me." Akina said as she went to the trunk. "She's here and so is he."

"How do you know?" Dean asked as he reached for the shotgun.

"Jada told me." The brother's heard her voice crack as she said that. The sniffle confirmed that she was crying. "Let's go." She started to walk to the house when Sam grabbed her arm. "We don't have time to dance Sam. Maybe after." She was trying to make light of the way she was feeling and Sam knew that making jokes was her way of covering her emotions up. Hell he saw enough of that with Dean.

"I'll gladly do the tango with you after this, but are you sure you ok to go in there?" Akina looked up at him.

"I'm fine really. Let's just go. Not a whole lotta time to sit out here and talk." She pulled her arm out of his grasp and continued walking. Sam looked over at Dean and he just shrugged.

"She'll be ok man. We all will be. Now let's go get your girlfriend back." Sam smacked Dean in the arm and the followed Akina. She was standing on the porch, but as the boy's approached, she was thrown off it and into a near-by tree. Dean ran to her side as Sam watch his back.

"Akina! You alright?" Dean asked as he checked her out.

"Asshole!" She screamed as she got up and ran to the house. Dean was left speechless for a moment, but then ran after her. Akina pushed past Sam and ran back to the pourch, only to get thrown off again. She skidded across the ground and the boys noticed the damage to her body once she got back to her feet. "Do it again you son of a bitch!" She screamed at no one. Dean raced to her side and grabbed her before she made her way back to the pourch for the third time.

"What are you doing? You trying to get yourself killed?" Dean screamed in her face loud enough to make her jump. "We need a plan. No just run up and see what happens."

"That is the plan Dean." She said with confidence. He let her go.

"What do you mean?" She smiled and ran back to the house. Thrown back again.

"Stop her man! She's going to kill herself." Sam begged his brother. "Why the hell are you just standing there?"

"The same reason you are." Sam looked at him confused. He shook his head and then tried to move. He couldn't. "What the?"

"I don't know. I can't move either. Seem's she can move just fine though, well untill she breaks something." The two watched as Akina ran to the house and got thrown back over and over. She was bloody and tired, but never gave up.

"I'm comming in whether you like it or not you demonic pile of horse shit!" She went at it again. This time when she was thrown she stayed down.

"AKINA!" Dean screamed. "You alright?"

cough "I've been better." cough "You?"

"Stop. Your in no shape to keep going." Dean pleaded. He felt so helpless. He hated that all he could do was watch as the girl he was falling in love with killed herself. "Please. Before something happens to you. We'll figure something out together."

"Neither of you can move. I'll get in. It'll just take time that's all." She gave a weak smile and was at it again. 'I have to keep going for Jada. She need's my help and I'm not leting her down. Not now, not ever!' She tried again with the same results. It took her longer to get up that time. 'I don't know how much more I can take.'

"AKINA!!!" She looked up at the house. Dean and Sam did the same. Standing in the doorway was a man dressed in black. Beside him was Jada.

"Jada!" Akina took two steps and then fell to her knees.

"You can't help her. I'm going to kill her and then all of you." This man laughed at her.

"If you so much as lay another finger on her, I'll make you wish you stayed in hell where you belong." Akina spat as she rose to her feet. Sam and Dean were still stuck.

"So do you know why we can't move?" Sam asked his older brother.

"Nope. I was hopeing you knew."

"Not a clue." They struggled against the invisible hold on them with no luck. They looked up to see Akina moving, slowly I might add, to the house where the man stood holding her friend.

"So Akina, how do you plan on stoping me?" The man laughed some more and it was pissing Akina off to no end. She hated being taunted as much as she hated werewolves. She reached behind her and pulled out her elbow blades. "You honestly think that's going to work on me? Your a sad chi..."

"Shut your fucking mouth!!" Akina interupted as she dove at him. He released his hold on Jada and on the Winchesters. The boys went to help Jada.

"Are you alright?" Sam asked as he gave her a once over. She looked up at him and smiled through her tears.

"I'm fine. Thanks for comming."

"You didn't think we'd let you have all the fun now did you?" He asked as he helped her up. They walked over to Dean, who was watching Akina fight.

"Oh she's PISSED." Jada said as she emphasised pissed. Dean was about to go help untill Jada stopped him. "Don't."

"What? Why not?"

"She'll be alright. If you go and try to help, she'll go after you too." Both boys looked at her with shock.

"Why would she do that?" Sam asked as they turned back to the fight.

"Well Akina's a bit different."

"We noticed." Dean said not taking his eyes of the psycho fighting girl. "She's good."

"I know. Look, I'm going to tell you something and chances are Akina's gonna be pissed about it. I just think it's time for you to know." The brother's looked at her.

"Know what?" Sam asked yet again. I think he likes asking questions.

"Are you both sticking around?"

"What?"

"After this. We still going after the demon together or are we going our seprate ways?" She asked as she looked at both of them.

"Wait! This isn't THE demon?" Dean asked. Jada shook her head.

"He's someone else all together. Are you going to answer my question?"

"Well we were hopeing that it was still going to be all four of us. So, yea we're planning on sticking around." Dean answered as Sam nodded. "So what is it with her?"

"She's part demon." Both boys gasped as their jaws hit the floor. "It happened a year after our family died. THE demon got a hold of me and Akina said she would do anything to save me."

"So what did she do?"

"She became part demon." They all turned to look at a bloodied and brused Akina standing in front of them. "Nice of you to tell them without me. You alright?" She looked at Jada to make sure she was ok. She then looked at the brother's, who just stared at her. "If you keep looking at me like that, I'll kill you both." The boy's gulped and Jada laughed. "Calm down, I'm kidding." They relaxed as Akina fell over. Sam caught her before she hit the ground.

"We have to get her to a hospital." Dean said as they ran back to the Civic.

"Oh my baby! So nice to see you again!" Sam looked at Jada and rolled his eyes.

"Your alot like Dean you know that?"

"So? Just put her in the back." Sam placed Akina in the back along with Dean and then got into the passenger seat. "She's going to be so pissed she's going back to the hospital."

"Are you going to finish the part demon story yet?" Dean asked. He was curious.

"I think it'll be better if she tells you."

"Or you can tell us. Who know's when she'll wake up." Jada thought about it for a minute.

"Fine. After she said she'd do anything, the demon gave her a choice. My life or her's. She choose her's against all my screaming at her not too. I never got why she did it. I know it has something to do with her being older and for some reason her need to keep me safe. Anywho, the demon let me go and took her instead. There was a blinding red light and when it faded, Akina was standing in frontof the demon. She looked, well different."

"What was so different about her?" Sam asked. They both were all ears at what Jada was telling them.

"Her skin was a pale blue and... we the rest isn't important. The fact is she was different. After the whole transformation thing, he ordered her to kill me. She turned to me and walked up to me. She pulled me to my feet before smileing at me. It confused me untill she dropped me and went for him. She attacked him the same way she attacked that other demon. Gave no regard to her own body. The demon vanished before she could kill him. She walked over to me, but she still looked the same. It did freak me out and yes, she did scare me a little. I backed away as she tried to explain that it was still her. Just then a blinding WHITE light appeared and engulfed both of us. When it faded Akina was back to her old self. We both were confused at what happened untill her mother came and explained it."

"I thought her mother died just like yours. Turn left up here. After that it'll be about ten minutes." Sam said.

"Thanks. She was dead. She explained that Akina was supposed to be full demon. That's what THE demon wanted her to be, but her mother inteviened and changed her. Instead of being a full demon, she was only half. Her human half is far stronger than the demon half, untill some one she loves is in danger. Then the power of the demon takes over and she can't control it."

"That's why you stopped me? She would have killed me." Dean asked as he cradled Akina's head in his lap. He looked at her. She looked human enough, but he knew deep down she wasn't.

"Yes. Even if you were going to help her, she would have killed you and then Sam and me too. We've been looking for a way to help her control it as we tracked the demon with no luck. Everyone we talked to said that there was nothing they could do for her."

"But she's ok unless she get's pissed right?"

"Yea. She's fine untill she hit's the breaking point. We're here." Jada said as they pulled into the hospital parking lot.

"Wait. Her bloods not different or anything is it?" Dean asked as he helped her out of the car.

"No. It's human." She answered as the three made there way up to the doors. When they fot inside, Dean handed Akina off to a nurse and the three sat and waited for news on their friend. It was a couple hours later that Jada knew her friend was alright. The screaming and the shattering glass told her that. Her and the brother's got up and followed the noise to Akina's room.

"Oh Jada! I save your ass and you repay me by taking me to the hospital!! Your so dead!!" Akina screamed as she threw a vase filled with flowers at poor Jada. She took cover behind Sam. "Don't think you can hide behind him either. Your all dead when I get out of here! When will that be by the way?" She asked as she calmed down. Her friends sat at her bedside. Jada was on high alert for flying objects. "Well?"

"You'll be out of here before you know it." Dean answered as he rolled his eyes. Akina glared at him.

"That long!! I'm not staying here that long. Do you remember the last time I was in a hospital? Did I stay then? Noooooo. And I'm not staying now." She crossed her arms and sat back. "Unless they bring me more Jell-O! That shit rocks!!"

"Are you kidding me? You'll stay if they give you Jell-O?" Sam asked her in amazement.

"I LOVE jiggly jell-o!" She said with a smile. They all laughed and thought about what they were going to do once Akina was free to leave. She was hopeing to kill something. That sad excuse for a demon was nothing for her. She wanted a challenge. Really it didn't matter as long as she had her friends at her side. As far as she was concerned, she would pertect all of them with her life. Untill tomorrow she just wants to sleep and that's what she plans on doing.
