Chapter Eleven
I now know what a hermit feels like, I thought as I wrapped a blanket around me. I cringed, as I took in my little living room filled with trash, varying from pop cans to wrappers from candy bars littering the small coffee table, and the floor. I'm not a neat freak by any means, but I still keep my living space semi presentable. Today I just let it go, but it wasn't planned that way. I had gotten up early (before the sun came up) so I can do some "research". Oh who am I kidding? I really just wanted to watch Naruto. And because I didn't want to leave the space in front of the T.V, I just got a pile of drinks and snacks and put them beside me. I only left when it was necessary (going to the bathroom, because hello people that's a lot consumption of drinks). I think I even hissed at the phone a couple of times when it rang. I cringed as I ran my hand through my greasy hair. I wonder what time it is. I thought as I stood up stretching. I carefully made my way to my phone on the other side of the room and gasped in surprise at the time. Eleven hours has passed, just like that! Good lord, 15 missed calls and 30 text messages! I cringed, hoping my boss wasn't trying to get a hold of me or even the hospital to tell me something about the Uchiha.
I checked the 15 missed calls only to find, that it was all from Drake. The text messages also all from Drake. The first message came at 8:25 and it said, "Good morning sweetness." Then the second message appeared at 8:40 with, "I had a great time last night, you were really beautiful, I couldn't keep my eyes off you… We should do it again. " I rolled my eyes at that one, because we are doing the stupid date thing again because of the deal and he knows it. The messages started off as sweet and caring, but after an hour or so, they became angry and desperate. For instance, one message said, "Why are you ignoring me Rayne, did you forget about the deal we had? Talking was a part of the deal." I scoffed at that, because I remember nothing about having to talk with this douchebag outside of the "dates" and rides. Another message also caught my attention, it read, "Did Scarlett say anything to you? Because if she did, don't believe a word she says, I'll set her straight." Who on earth is Scarlett? And set her straight about what? I shook my head and read the last one that was sent at 4:20, which was 10 minutes ago and it read, "Baby, please don't ignore me, I just miss you, please answer me." My eyebrow twitched at how desperate and clingy he sounded. I was about to send him a message, when something crossed my mind. How on earth did he get my number? I never recalled giving it to him. I thought as a shiver ran down my spine. I was thrown out of my thoughts as the phone in my hand started ringing. I looked at the I.D and rolled my eyes at the person calling and answered it.
"What do ya want Drake."
"It's about time you answered me Rayne! What have you been doing?" Hearing the scowl in his voice I answered.
"Doing some research on my patient."
"You can do that later, I expect you to answer me when I send you a text or call you." I twitched at the demand.
"Look Drake, I'm not gonna have you try to tell me what to do, I'm a big girl now, been that way for a while. I don't need you or anyone else to try to tell me what I should or shouldn't do got it? I suggest you back off me before I do it for you, understand." I stated with venom coating my voice.
"Listen Baby, I don't take kindly to threats, especially from a woman, my woman, when I call I expect you to answer, when I text, I expect for you to send a text back the minute you receive it. I can be sweet, caring, and loving, but I also can be cruel and hateful. I'm a very dangerous man Rayne, you don't know the half of it, I suggest you heed my warning and don't make me upset, because the next time you piss me off, I will do more than glare at you. Now I'm going to pick you up at eight, wear something warm and comfortable." Click!
The nerve of that douchebag! I thought angrily, as I grinded my teeth and clenched the phone in my hand. How dare he threaten me! I thought. I scoffed as another part of his little threat appeared in my mind. HIS?! I never agreed to be his anything! I thought as I angrily paced back and forth in front of the T.V. Oh just wait, I'm gonna put him in his place all right. Dangerous? Puh-lease! He's gonna wish he never messed with me. I vowed as I stopped and looked down at my phone, decision made, I cut my phone off and tossed it in the bowl and headed back to the couch.
I sat and picked up one of the boxes that contained the DVDs of the series. Trying to defuse my anger, I thought about the series. I ended when I found out who Tobi really was. And I know what you're thinking, How on earth did she watch all the way up to that when she only bought seasons 1,2 and 3? Quite simple really, it's amazing what a hormone induced teenage boy would do for their crush. I know, I know, how could I, a twenty something year old adult manipulate a boy half her age? Easily, I was desperate and I really wanted to find out what happened and because I didn't really wanna go out I got him to do it. DON'T JUDGE ME!
Any who, I absolutely fell in love with some of the characters after watching it. I absolutely love Naruto because of his carefree smile even though he was cursed at by the villagers who are supposed to love the sacrifice he made by taking on being the Jinchuriki. His courage and his ability to get through the toughest people, by just being his self are admirable. My heart literally broke after seeing him lose Ducky (Sasuke for those who don't know), I can see the hurt and pain he went through after Ducky's defection. Any person within hearing distance could have heard all of the profanities I threw at the T.V. whenever I saw the prick. So all in all, I rather have a strong hatred, more like loathing towards the stupid young Uchiha. If I could I would punch him into next week, for hurting Naruto. Speaking about hurting Naruto, that leads me to Sakura, during their genin days I despised her for being cruel to Naruto and for taking Ducky's side. But as she got older, my dislike turned into liking the pink headed girl, because of her stubbornness to getting stronger and finally getting over Ducky. My heart went out to Itachi, who is my second favorite (and who I may or may not have a crush on… I know he's a fictional character don't judge me!). His entire life, he carried a burden so big, I'm not surprised it didn't kill him from the weight of it. He sacrificed so much to get nothing in return, I know it must have hurt him to kill off his family and watch his brother, the one he loved the most, turn into a monster. Another character I just want to hug to death is Gaara, he reminds me of an evil panda bear. Ya know the kind ya wanna just cuddle up to, but scared because he may take a limb or two, yeah that kind. He had it rough as well, with his mother dying in child birth, his father trying to kill him, also his uncle, which he acted as though he loved him, the villagers having nothing to do with him. I also love Kiba, because of Akamaru, Shikamaru because of his laziness, Shino because he's weird, Neji because of his eyes, Lee because of his eccentricity, Kakashi, because I may or may not have a crush on him, again don't judge me! Sasori because who doesn't like a bad boy? Suigestsu because he wears purple and carries a sword, Shisui because he's one Uchiha that isn't serious, and many more.
Thinking about the Uchiha, it brings me back to my patient, Madara Uchiha. He claims to be the legendary Madara Uchiha who along with Hashirama Senju created Konoha. Watching the series, I found out that he is one evil being who tried to destroy the first Hokage out of jealousy. He also put the curse of hatred into Obito Uchiha. Who on earth would want to cosplay into him? Granted he is deadly beautiful and his voice is seductive but still who would want to dress up as him? There are better people from that series to impersonate. I shrugged my shoulders and headed to the bathroom trying to think of a plan to evade the douche.

Madara's P.O.V
After all this time in this pathetic universe, I finally found a way to go back. I scowled at how simple the answer to the solution was. The answer was in the building! The reason I could not perform any jutsus or feel my chakra was because there is something in the building from doing so. They are smarter than what I gave them credit for. They somehow gathered the material to stop us from using chakra. But no matter, this time tomorrow I will back in the Five Great Shinobi Countries terrorizing them just as I always been. I started laughing maniacally and continued as the people gave my door a wide berth.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
It was 7:50 pm as I huddled beside the door. I looked around my apartment to make sure that all the lights were off. Satisfied, I waited patiently until the clock stroke 8. Ya see I don't take kindly to threats or demands of any kind, so if Drake thinks I'm gonna be the meek, obeying woman he wants me to be, he's got another thing coming.
I decided to make it seem like I wasn't there, I know not the best plan, but it was the only one I could come up with in short notice. My thoughts ceased as I heard footsteps in the hallway coming towards my door. The footsteps stopped in front of door and I saw the shadow of Drake underneath the crack of the door. I heard him clear his throat, no doubt trying to getting ready to "dazzle" me, pssh whatever. He knocked three times before he stopped. He waited for a few minutes, before he knocked on the door again, a little bit louder this time. He waited another few minutes and muttered something about the shower. I suspect he probably thinks I'm in the shower getting ready… Loser. After that he banged on the door, calling my name. He would have continued if my neighbor got out and told him I wasn't there. Drake then demanded where I went and my neighbor said that he didn't know. Afterwards I heard Drake stomping all the way to the stairway. I snickered as I thought about his tantrum. So my so called neighbor was that teenage boy who did the favor for me earlier, he did me another…. Bless him. I let out a sigh and decided to continue watching Naruto peacefully.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
After watching the last bit of the series, I went to bed and wished that I hadn't. I dreamt of swirling red eyes, blood, body parts covering the grass, buildings on fire, and the most horrifying part, my patient standing over my body, laughing maniacally with his sword through my chest.
I woke up gasping for breath, I patted my chest in panic, and making sure I was in one piece. Once I found I was still put together, I laid my head on the head board and closed my eyes trying to steady my breathing. I opened my eyes, once I steadied my breathing and looked at the alarm clock beside me. It was blaring bright red numbers that read 6:40. I let out a groan at how early it was, and not wanting to go back to sleep, in fear of having or continuing the same dream, I got up and got ready for the day.
After showering, I went to the kitchen in search of something to eat. Finding nothing, I decided to head to the nearby café, to get me some breakfast. After having a bagel, some doughnuts, and a smoothie, I headed back to my apartment.
I stopped near my door, trying to find my keys, but once I looked up, I froze as I dropped the keys on the ground. My door which was securely locked was standing wide open for everyone to see. I narrowed my eyes as I cautiously took baby steps into my apartment after picking my keys off the floor. I silently closed the door as I gently placed my phone and keys in the bowl, at the same time picking up the dagger that was hiding behind the side table. I hid the dagger on the inside of my jacket, as I continued on my trek to find the intruder. I carefully placed my back against the wall that led to the kitchen. I slowly peeked around the corner and found nothing, so I gradually made my way through the kitchen to my bedroom. I carefully placed my back against the wall beside my bedroom door. I took a deep breath in and put my hand on the doorknob and opened the door. After waiting and hearing nothing, I cautiously walked into my bedroom, my eyes searching every corner. Finding nothing, my tense body relaxed and I shook my head laughing at myself. I turned around and froze in place as I saw Drake leaned against the wall behind the door. He had his arms crossed, muscles bulging, the muscles in his jaw ticked every so often. His eyes though, were what spoke of his fury. He took his left hand and slowly closed the door. Afterwards, he walked towards me as if he was the predator and I was his prey.
"What are ya doing in my apartment Drake?" I asked my stance firm, as I observed every move he made.
Ignoring me, he slowly circled me, like a lion would an elk. But he is mistaken, I'm not an elk in this situation, helpless and weak, no I am a wolf, beautiful, powerful and dangerous.
I heard him stop behind me, as I inconspicuously touch my jacket to see if my dagger was still there, thankfully it stayed in place.
Not a sound was made as he stood behind me. What felt like several minutes, was only a few seconds before he pounced.
But I was ready for him.
He attempted to cage me in with his arms, making me defenseless, but when he got within range, I elbowed him as hard as I could in the solar plexus; which made him gasping for breath as he bent down. Knowing I had little time, I dashed toward the living room where my cell phone was located. I only ran for what felt like two seconds before he tackled me to the ground. I cried out in pain as I landed hard on my elbow and felt the dagger go into my side a little bit. Ignoring the pain, I tried to squirm my way out from under him. Hearing him grunt and feeling him press himself more into me preventing me from escaping, my attempts became doubled as I wiggled some more. I suddenly froze though at feeling something hard poking me on my upper thigh.
"Don't stop now sweetness, your feistiness, excites me," He stated huskily.
This sick freak, is aroused by this? I thought as I breathed heavily under him. With my face red from exertion, I turned my head to the side and glared at him. He chuckled at me as he gave my cheek butterfly kisses. Disgusted, I turned my head back to the front, my chin resting on the floor.
Clenching my teeth I said, "Get. Off. Me."
He chuckled some more before he stated, "Now why would I do that? I can do practically anything from this position." With that, he grinded into my backside, as he pulled my arms to the side of my head and kept them there as he bent down and nibbled on the side of my neck.
"You do realize this is sexual assault right?" I asked through clenched teeth.
"Potato, patato. You say sexual assault, I say consented foreplay." He stated as he smiled into my neck.
"Just get off of me."
"Very well, but I'm gonna tie you up first."
"Wha-" I started, but stopped as I felt him bring my hands behind my back and tie them together with rope.
Once finished, he gently turned me on my back. I glared up at him, as he bent down and hooked his arm under my legs and carefully placed his other arm under my neck. I looked up and noticed the smirk that graced his lips as we neared my bedroom. Once there he carefully placed me sitting up against the headboard on my bed. He then settled at the end of my bed facing me.
"What are ya doing in my apartment?" I asked for the second time.
He continued gazing at me, not answering my question. I was going to ask a third time before his voice interrupted me.
"I came by last night to pick you up for our date, that I specifically told you to be ready by eight. You was not, your neighbor said that you weren't there. I was angry, very angry you understand, so I left with my mind clouded with rage. Then later I got to thinking, that that excuse wasn't legit. And I'll tell you why," he stopped as he cleared his throat, and then continued, "You don't go out at night; especially if your alone, because of some fear you hold. Unless of course you had magically made a friend, I doubt you'd leave your home." He gazed at me a few minutes before he continued his explanation.
"Once I realized that you ditched me on a deal we made I was furious. Of course I knew that you were asleep, because of how late it was, I left it alone for the time being because I'm considerate." I mentally scoffed at that one.
"This morning, however, I decided to give you a visit and to my surprise you wasn't here. So I decided to use the key that's on top of the door and let myself in. Of course I was just going to talk to you, but it turned out better than I anticipated." He stated as he gave a smirk in my direction.
In response, I glared heavily towards him. He tsked me as he said, "Now don't be like that beautiful, I'm just stating the facts."
"We spoke, now you leave." I said as I continued glaring at him.
He shook his head and chuckled before he said, "No can do beautiful, you and I are gonna spend the day together. I was gonna take you out for breakfast but since you've already ate, we're gonna stay here and watch some movies."
I watched him as he got up from the bed and came towards me. "How bout no on that little idea and you leave, it'll make everyone happy." I stated as I saw him freeze in place. He slowly walked over to me, with his hair covering his eyes. He brought his hand to my face, and he gripped my cheeks in a firm grip and he brought it close to his face.
"That wasn't a question sweetheart, that's a statement, you're gonna do it rather you like it or not." He demanded as his cold blue eyes pierced into my green ones. I just continued glaring as he shoved my face out of the way as he came behind me to untie my hands. Once he untied them I brought my hands in front and rubbed them.
"Get up and come to the living room," he demanded as he left to go to his destination. I continued glaring at him until he left my line of sight. I stood up but quickly sat back down because of the sharp pain shooting up my right side. I pulled the jacket away a little to see the dagger had gotten lodged into my skin. Grabbing a pillow, I stuck it between my teeth and at the count of three; I ripped it out and put it under my mattress. I staunched the blood flow by pressing a little bit of the blanket into the wound. I quickly but carefully went to the bathroom to patch it up. I then put a rag under the cold water as I slowly pulled the blanket away from the wound. I carefully wiped the excess blood, while also keeping the blood from spilling out. I then took a thing of gauze and placed it on the wound. While holding it, I wrapped it and then put surgical tape for it to stay in place. I then replaced my shirt and headed to the living room.
I noticed the living room was empty as I sat down on the couch. Not five minutes later, Drake waltz through the door, acting like he owns it. He looked in my direction and smirked as he came towards me and sat down beside me.
"I got a few movies to watch, two horror, and one comedy." He stated as he smiled in my direction. But my attention wasn't on him, it was on the T.V.
"Do you wanna watch a horror first or a comedy?" He asked. Still not answering him, I continued to stare at the T.V.
I felt him stare at the side of my head, before he let out a sigh and said, "Horror it is then." He got up and placed the D.V.D into the D.V.D player and came to sit beside me. I crossed my arms as he placed his arm across my shoulders. With his left hand he pushed play on the remote. As he set the remote down and got settled, I shivered in disgust as his leg came in contact with my leg.
Thirty minutes into the movie, I felt my eyelids getting heavy with exhaustion. I did everything in my power to stay up, but because of the nightmare I had last night, it was hard. Giving up the battle between me and the sand man, I closed my eyes at the scene of a serial killer slicing the head off its victims, and I knew no more.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
Drake's P.O.V
Watching the movie, the scene where the killer jumps out at its victims was about to happen and I couldn't wait until the woman beside me squealed in horror and clung to my side. Once the scene happened, I frowned in disappointment as I glanced at the beauty beside me. Understanding lit up my features as I gazed at the sleeping woman beside me. That's why she leaned her head on my shoulders, I thought as I gazed at the woman with affection.
I slowly turned my body, so I would be laying my head against the armrest. I carefully laid her head on my chest and I put my left leg on her left side. She turned in her sleep, mumbled something about a white wolf before she settled down on her belly, her hand faced down on my chest. I smiled with love, as I rubbed small circles in her back.
I looked at her left hand and imagined an engagement ring fitted on her ring finger. I looked down at her sleeping face and noticed how peaceful she looked. I let out a quiet sigh as I thought of how stubborn she was. If she would only see that we were meant to be together, she would see I could make her happy, if only she'd let me. But alas she's too stubborn for her own good. She has it in her head, that she despises me and that we would never be together, but in time she will see that we were meant to be.
Breaking off thought and felt my eyelids growing heavy, not putting up much of a fight. I surrendered and fell asleep.
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
I woke up lying down with my face pressed against something warm, yet firm. I slowly glanced up to see Drake asleep underneath me. You've got to be kidding me, I thought as I slowly, but carefully got of his hold and tried to get up.
"And where do ya think you're going beautiful?"
I jerked out of surprise and sharply looked up to see him smirking at me.
"Away from you obviously," I stated as I tried to get up a second time but was ineffective as he tightened his hold on me.
"Aww don't be like that baby, in a relationship the couple cuddles quite often during the time they spend together, it's natural."
"There's only one thing wrong with that sentence. You and I are not in relationship nor will we ever be."
He chuckled darkly before stating, "That's what you think my dear."
I glared at him and stated, "Just let me get up and let me go pee."
He grinned at me and said, "Why didn't ya say so, I would let you go." Once freed from his captive embrace, I got up quickly and headed to the bathroom. Almost in the bathroom, I heard him say something about getting ready and going to head out. I rolled my eyes as I went into the bathroom, did my business and ran a brush through my hair. I grabbed a jacket on the way out and met him in front of the door.
"Ready?" He asked as he gave me a once over and nodded in approval and headed out. I shook my head in irritation and followed him out.
Once we reached outside, I saw how dark it was outside and realized we must have slept well into the night. He grabbed my hand and interlaced our fingers together and headed towards the nearby park. After reaching the park and walking for a while Drake stopped in front of a street lamp, and gazed down at me with the same strong emotion he gave me a few days ago. He slowly brought his fingers to my cheek and slightly grazed it making me flinch away. He frowned at my response, but shook himself as he got ready for something.
"Rayne, I have something to tell you, something important." Ahh crap! How do I get out of this? I thought as I wildly tried to find an escape route.
Not noticing my distraction, he was looking past me and continued on, "I'm not one to beat around the bush, so I'm just gonna spit it out. I love you Rayne, there I said it. I've always loved you ever since I first saw you. I knew you were the one for me and that we were meant to be together."
Frozen in shock, not because of his confession, I kinda gathered that, but because not too far away was my patient, walking stealthily through the park.

A/N: I'm kinda iffy about this chapter, I like it but I don't if that makes any sense lol. I'll probably go back and change a few things once I'm done. But any who I hope you've enjoyed reading it and have a good day!
