.:Oceanna:.
I gripped Kitai by the shoulders, "Where are they do you know sweetie?"
He frowned and took a moment to think, "No I don't… a-are you mad?" his eyes became very round and very watery within that statement.
I quickly shook my head, "No Kitai I'm not mad, just incredibly curious."
Walking out the door I held his hand and barely cleared the doorway as Konan and Pein came barreling down the hall to see for them self
"How could this be..?"
Kitai let go of my hand and pulled lightly on Konan's cloak, "I- I did it?" he said, completely unsure of the outcome of that statement.
Konan eyes flicked up to mine, "What does he mean?"
"He's got some kind of ability and he says he gave Luna 'the strength' to do whatever it is she was supposed to do-"
And then there was a new dent in the rock wall. We turned to look at Pein in shock; "No he said it would happen but… you sped up the process?" he turned to Kitai, pierced eyebrow raised.
Out of fear Kitai burst into tears and clung to my leg, I tried to soothe him all the while trying to keep my anger down, "What do you mean this was going to happen? Who said this was going to happen? What even happened anyway?"
I tried to keep my cool but shouting always helped me get the point across, Pein shook his head and put it in his palms, "She went back."
"What?" I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"She's back? Back where!"
"Back in her world!" he screamed back, frustrated at my lack of patience I usually have.
I pushed Pein to the wall, "Tell me exactly what's going on Pein! Is she coming back? Is she dead? What's happening and why weren't Amber and I informed of this!"
He pushed me off using his almighty push, total overkill, and I slammed into the wall opposite us. Kitai started crying harder just as Kisame decided to see what the hell was going on.
"Oceanna this is the last straw, I've been far too lenient, on you especially. Now I sensed something in that child," he pointed at Kitai, "and if you want to keep it where I'm silently waiting for his abilities to emerge you will not question me."
I narrowed my eyes, I wasn't afraid.
I stood, "Pein," I said somewhat formally, "If I'm not scared of him, what makes you think you're any worse."
We both knew I was referring to who was really under that mask and the last thing I saw were Pein's rinnegan's as he pushed me down the hall, where I blacked out.
::::::::
The air was dusty.
I blinked a few times to clear my eyes. I felt stuck to something. I was stuck to the wall… with my own blood.
I looked up; Pein was standing above me, looking down at me with an emotionless face.
And he held his hand out.
I waited for a final death blow but one never came, I waited for a slap, for something, but when I cracked open an eye wondering why I hadn't seen the light yet I just saw him standing there.
"I swear you're the only one who makes me angry," I smiled slowly and took his hand. I felt a pop in my neck and my clothes unstuck from the wall behind me.
"It's my job to fight for the ones who can't," Pein let go of my hand.
"We'll talk about this later, hopefully in a more civil manor but for right now you should rest. I'm surprised you're alive considering the dent you left."
He gestured to what I assumed to be a crater in the wall. Turning around I saw right were I had landed, a roundish circle where my head had hit and web like bits flowing out along with blood dripping from the cracks.
The headache began and it took all I had to stay standing, "How long was I out?"
"Five minutes, give or take."
My eyebrows flew up, "After that collision? Damn I'm one tough cookie."
He nodded and Kitai came running up, I looked around Pein to see Kisame's slightly worried, slightly annoyed expression and from the way he was position I could tell he had been holding Kitai back.
"Mama!" he screamed slash cried as he latched on to my leg.
"Oh… hi Kitai honey please let go I'm in a bit of pain," he let go immediately and Kisame came over and picked him up.
"I should heal you," Kisame began to walk away, only checking every now and then to see if I was following.
When we got to his room he washed out some of the blood from my hair and there was a comforting warmth as he started to heal me.
Kitai was bouncing around the room and decided he was going to take a bath, leaving Kisame and I alone for the time being.
When my head was stable enough for walking condition I stood and waited for Kitai to leave the bathroom. I was going to the shower down the hall but Kisame wouldn't let me leave the room.
We didn't talk or anything but I turned away for a split second to ask Kitai if he was finished and when I turned back he was there, right next to me.
"Ah… Kisame wha-?"
Then his lips were on mine.
It had been a long time he had last kissed me, and it felt naturally weird. When he released his oral hold on me Kitai skipped out and was whistling some foreign song. As he distracted Kisame, I silently slipped into the bathroom.
I felt the ghost of his mouth on mine and I swear I melted a little, I tried to ignore it as best I could, just tried focusing on getting out all the blood.
Deep, deep in my heart I still loved him so much but also in the same place, I knew that there was something wrong with this picture. I may have a kid and there may be love somewhere, at least I hoped, but we both belonged to the Akatsuki. There was no time for love in the middle of a war.
I know, also short but she's rather boring too. At least the two chapters together make something right?
