Rokubi : Family Bonds.
Chapter 13 : Bunkering Down
"Ok, so what now? Where do we go from here?" Sheila asked.
After explaining what happened in the trials everyone had relocated to the living room. Yori was resting to regain her chakra whilst X had his leg up whilst Shizune healed it.
At Sheila's question everyone turned to look at Yuna.
"…What?… don't look at me" Yuna said innocently.
"Well you are from the future right? So, what happens next?" Kim asked.
"I can't say… things have already changed too much, I have no idea what's going to happen next" Yuna explained
"How do you know anything has changed though?" Kim asked
Yuna smirked nervously at Kim's question.
"…you" Yuna said.
"… me?" Kim said in confusion.
"Yeah… in my history you're dead" Yuna said
"I-I'm dead?" Kim couldn't quite believe it "H-How… why…" neither did she know what to say.
"The Kim Possible in my time died almost three weeks ago from today at the Bermuda Triangle club" Yuna explained.
Kim thought about it for a moment, three weeks ago at the club both she and Ron were about to be attacked again by Hanzo when Yuna arrived and saved their asses.
"In fact it's a pretty well know fact in my time" Yuna said absently
"… my death is well known?" Kim asked awkwardly.
"Yeah… Kim Possible, the first casualty of the war against Akatsuki" Yuna said as if she were quoting a book
For a few moment everyone was quiet, the only sound in the room came from Shizune's glowing hand as it worked on repairing the damage to X's leg.
"…ok…" Yori finally broke the silence. "The reinforcement team just arrived so we're not very well informed on the situation, Mitarashi-san, would you explain?"
Ron nodded and leant forward.
"Ok… a few weeks ago I received a parcel back in Konoha, it contained a newspaper with the headline 'Kim Possible Captured', I left Konoha a little later and came here to America, after arriving here I was able to track Kim down thanks to her chakra signature standing out…"
Ron went on to explain what happened, how he saved Kim from her fall and their mission to the Bermuda Triangle club and their encounter with Hanzo and Golom.
"… there's one thing I don't understand…" Tenten spoke up, "This organization 'Akatsuki', what exactly is their purpose? What's their goal" she asked
Ron hesitated, he needed to be careful how he answered.
"I don't know much but I'll tell you what I know… Akatsuki is an organization lead by 9 S-rank missing-nin from all over the elemental nations, the only known members to me are Hanzo Hyuuga, Golom Roblemo, Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha…"
"Itachi Uchiha is a member?!" Tenten asked with wide eyes.
"Yeah… along with another five members that we haven't seen yet… and we also know that Orochimaru used to be a member… but the two we need to concentrate on right now are Hanzo and Golom… both of them are in the service of Drakken" Ron finished.
Meanwhile Kim was extremely confused.
"Orochimaru? Uchiha?… what the hell are you all talking about?" Kim asked in annoyance. Ron and the others forgot that Kim wasn't from the elemental nation and didn't understand half of the things they were talking about.
"We'll explain everything KP, but right now we need to bunker down…" Ron said as he stood up.
"Bunker down? What do you mean?" Kim asked
"Well, our enemy knows where we are but we don't know where they are so we're in a dangerous situation, they've already attacked us here once… so we need to fortify ourselves here" Ron said and then turned to the two elder Possibles "… that means you and your family need to stay here in the house until this is over…"
The two adults looked hesitant but nodded.
"Ok, but how do we go about eliminating the threat?" Neji asked.
"Well that not really up to me, it's up to Shizune" Ron said looking at the med-nin
"M-Me?" Shizune asked nervously.
"Yeah, you're the ranking Jounin here" Ron said.
Shizune smirked as she finished her technique and reached into a pouch at her side.
"I don't think so Ron, I'm a medical ninja, my job was to escort the team here and heal your injuries, but…" Shizune took out a scroll and passed it to Ron with a knowing smile.
Ron took the scroll whilst looking at Shizune nervously. Ron unrolled the scroll and read it, when he finished reading he looked a little nervous.
"Ron? What is it?" X asked
"…I'm… I'm in charge" Ron stuttered.
"…what?" X asked confused.
"This scroll, it says that when I'd recovered from my wounds I'm to assume command of the Triangle Assault team until the situation here is resolved" Ron said as he passed the scroll to X.
"… ok, well then, what do we do boss?" X asked with a grin.
"Don't call me that!" Ron said I an annoyed tone.
Ron thought for a moment about what to do, he'd never been placed in charge of a team before, hell he'd never even been placed on a team before, but he had no time to second guess himself, not with who they were up against.
"…ok, Tenten, set up a perimeter around the house with wires, nothing lethal though remember we're in a public area, if anybody tries to sneak into the house I want to know about it"
Tenten nodded and immediately went about her task.
"Neji, use your Byakugan to search the area, if Drakken has any surveillance equipment on this house I want it found and disposed of" Neji gave a quick nod before turning and walking into another part of the house.
"Shizune, how's the repairs coming?" Ron asked.
Shizune finished her technique on X's leg.
"He tore a few ligaments around his ankle, they'll be tender for a few hours but otherwise fine, I'd suggest walking around a bit to get used to it" Shizune offered.
"Ok, Sheila, how's Yori?" Ron asked.
"She's fine, like you said just a little chakra exhaustion, all she really needs is a good nights sleep" Sheila answered.
"Ok, Yuna, what're you going to do now?" Ron asked the newcomer.
"I have to stay a while to see how everything turns out, I still don't know what might go wrong thanks to my interference"
As everyone went about their tasks Anne possible stepped forwards.
"We only have one spare bedroom but we have plenty of blankets and pillows you can use"
"That'd be great, thanks Dr P" Ron thanked Anne with a smile as she walked off to retrieve the blankets.
Ron spent a moment thinking about hat else they would need.
'Supplies' Ron realized
"Ok, we're gonna need to get some supplies… I'm going over to the store"
X heard this and stood up after stretching his leg.
"I'll go with you, I need to stretch my legs anyway"
Ron and X were about to leave, they didn't notices Kim giving Sheila a look that screamed 'Go for it you idiot'.
Sheila sighed.
"R-Ron… I'll go too, you might need another pair of hands" Sheila said nervously
"Ok, let's go" Ron said as he slipped his coat on and strapped Raikiri to his back.
"Umm, Ron? Are you sure you wanna walk around the streets with that thing?" Kim said whilst pointing at his sword.
"KP, the last time you talked me into leaving my sword behind, it didn't work out too well" Ron said with a smile.
Kim grinned innocently.
"Heh, sorry about that" Kim apologized whilst scratching the back of her head.
"Ok, let's get going" Ron said and he walked out of the house with X and Sheila right behind him.
RFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFB
Ron and X stepped into the nearest convenient store to the house with Sheila right behind them, she had been trying to talk to Ron for the past few minutes but had yet to have the chance seeing as Ron and X were in the middle of an argument.
"All I'm saying is if the cavemen have weapons why can't the Astronauts?" Ron asked.
"Cavemen build weapons to hunt food, Astronauts aren't about to hunt kill and eat a wild pig on the freaking moon are they?" X argued back
"Will you two cut it out! This argument was stupid when you started it months ago and it's still stupid now!" Sheila said in annoyance
Ron, X and Sheila went about gathering up plenty of supplies for everyone consisting mainly of rice for food, with Sheila's help they managed to find a few other items for everyone's tastes including a few 'Pot Noodles' the American version of Ramen.
After gathering it all up they took it all to the sales clerk who was a nervous looking old man with gray hair with a receding hairline and a mouth completely void of teeth.
"That'll be 27 dollars and 30 cents" the old man said whilst looking at Ron's sword nervously"
Ron started patting his pockets looking for something.
"Ah damn, I think I left my wallet back at the house" Ron said
"Ah don't worry I've got mine" X said as he shifted his coat to the side revealing the hilt of one of his swords.
The old man saw the sword under X's coat and panicked. He quickly ducked down and grabbed something from under the register, less than a second later he stood up holding a long silver object with two barrels pointed at Ron and X.
"FREEZE YOU LITTLE BASTARDS!!" the old man shouted out.
Ron, X and Sheila immediately put their hands up.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa old man!! You wanna point that someplace else?" Ron asked with a sweat drop hanging from his head.
"I know yer type you little bastards, you carry around yer blades hoping to score a wad of cash to buy yer damn video games and soda pops… well yer ain't getting anything off me without a fight" the old man said whilst pointing his shotgun directly at Ron's nose.
"I… I just don't get it, do you just freaking attract violence naturally? Or does it take practice?" X asked Ron in an annoyed tone
"Hey, how is this my fault?" Ron asked.
"Well if you'd just left your sword at the house like Kim said then we wouldn't be in this mess!" X argued
"Hey I don't see you leaving your swords behind!" Ron argued back
"At least mine are behind my coat, yours is in broad daylight!" X argued back louder.
Sheila couldn't believe it, here was a deranged old man pointing a double barreled shotgun at them and Ron and X still continued to argue with each other.
"-sigh… you know what, I'll wait outside" Sheila said as she put he rhands down and started to walk out of them shop.
"HEY FREEZE BITCH!!" the old man yelled as he swung the gun away from Ron and towards Sheila.
Seeing their chance both Ron and X moved at the same time, Ron grabbed Raikiri from his back and placed it at the right of the old man's throat, X grabbed his black sword and placed it at the left side of the old man's throat, the entire thing happens in less than two seconds.
"You freeze bitch!…" Ron said with the sword at the old man's throat.
"Oh shit… I'm fucked" the old man said in fear, he had made a mistake and was now paying for it.
They were silent for a moment before Ron spoke.
"Now… step back, put the weapon down, and give me a packet of Tropical Fruit Bubblelicious" Ron said whilst not moving his sword.
"… and some Skittles" X added after a moment of awkward silence.
RFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFB
"Well, that was interesting…" X said as he walked down the street holding a couple of bags of supplies.
"Yeah, we may have scarred that guy for the rest of his life" Ron said.
Sheila was walking a few meters behind them, she seemed to have something on her mind.
"R-Ron? Can we talk?" Sheila asked unsurely.
"Yeah sure…" Ron said and started to walk beside her to talk whilst X sped up a little to give them some privacy.
"So, what's up?" Ron asked.
"Well… we've known each other for a while now right?" Sheila asked whilst trying her best not to stutter
"Yeah, ever since I first came back here… in fact I remember the first time we actually met" Ron reminisced.
"Yeah… if I remember correctly I blasted you in the shoulder with my power" Sheila said bashfully.
"Yeah, hard to believe that was only 4 months ago" Ron said.
"Ron I need to tell you something… I was gonna tell you earlier but then Yuna arrived and I didn't have a chance…" Sheila said whilst her face slowly started turning red.
"Oh yeah… sorry about that" Ron apologized with a grin
"Well… ever since the Chunin exams something was different… I've been trying to tell you something for nearly 2 months now but things keep getting in the way… I was gonna tell you after the exam but then I fell into that coma, then I was going to tell you after we got back with Tsunade but you left immediately to come here and help the Princess…"
Ron was listening intently, he never knew that Sheila had tried to tell him something for so long, Ron opened his mouth to ask Sheila what she wanted to say but just as he opened his mouth his feet suddenly gave way under him as the ground itself seemed o to open up.
"Waa…" Ron yelled out as he disappeared into a hole in the ground but Sheila didn't notice.
"What I'm trying to say is… I'm… I'm in love with you… I have been for some time…" Sheila said with her eyes closed waiting for a response.
When nothing happened Sheila slowly inched her eyes open and looked around, Ron was nowhere in site. There was however a large hole that lead into a long metal tube into the ground.
"… GOD DAMN IT!!" Sheila yelled as loud as she could at her frustration, a moment later a similar hole opened up under her and sucked her down.
"WAA!"
RFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFB
"Ok seriously, there has got to be an easier way to get our attention!" Ron said in annoyance at Betty Director who had greeted him at the bottom of the tube
"Perhaps, but right now we have things to discuss, Miss Possible and several of your comrades are already waiting for us in the briefing room…"
Ron was about to follow Dr Director when he heard a sound coming from above him.
"…aaaaaAAAAAHHHH" the sound got louder and louder until suddenly the tube opened up above his and somebody dressed in green fell down.
Ron acted quickly and caught Sheila in his arms.
"Whoa… now this is my kinda rain" Ron said with a smile before letting Sheila down.
Dr Director looked at Sheila suspiciously for a moment, she looked very familiar but she couldn't place it.
"Very well, come along…" Betty ushered them out of the room.
A few moments later the ceiling opened again and somebody fell through the tube.
"…aaaaaAAAAAHHHHH!" X quickly flipped backwards and landed flat on his feet, X regained his footing quickly and looked around cautiously.
"… ok, what did I miss?" X asked absently.
RFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFB
A few minutes later several people were sat around a large round table with a pitcher of water in the center, in the middle of a conference room. Ron, X, Kim, Sheila (Who looked royally pissed), Yuna and Shizune were all sat around the table along with Dr Director and Agent Will Du.
"Hey guys, where is everyone else?" Ron asked immediately after sitting down.
"Tenten and Neji stayed behind to guard the house and my family and before we left Yori had fallen asleep, she was pretty bushed from whatever you went through in those trials" Kim answered
After Kim answered Ron's question, the door to the briefing room opened and in stepped a tall man dressed in a smart black suit, he wore a pair of small circle shaped spectacles and had shiny black hair slicked back over his head.
"Ma'am, the file you requested…" the man said with a smart English accent as he passed Dr Director a file.
"Thank you Kuro, that'll be all…" Dr Director dismissed him
The man now introduced as Kuro gave a quick polite bow and then walked out of the room.
"Ok Miss Possible, would you like to explain what happened at the Bermuda Triangle club please?" Dr Director asked.
"Ok…"
Kim went about explaining what happened at the club.
"So do you have any idea what this 'New Untapped Power Source' is?" Dr Director asked, Kim shook her head.
"No… the Hyuuga saw me before Drakken could explain with more detail" Kim explained
Ron meanwhile leaned forward and took the pitcher of water from the center of the table and poured himself a glass.
"Dr Director, do you have any idea where Drakken's new base is?" Ron asked as he took a sip of water
"Unfortunately no, he's done a rather remarkable job of relocating without leaving any paper trail, we do however have one lead…" Dr Director explained as she opened the folder and took out a photo, she quickly slid the photo across the table towards Ron.
Ron took a look at the photo, it showed a small plump man wearing a tan suit.
"He calls himself 'Big Daddy Brotherson', he's the one who arranged for the meeting at the Bermuda Triangle club and he deals mainly in information for cash, if anybody knows where Drakken has relocated, then it's Brotherson… but he won't talk easily" Dr Director warned.
Ron smirked at Dr Directors comment.
"Dr Director… I was raised by somebody who specializes in Interrogation, believe me when I say that will talk to me, do you know where I can find him?" Ron asked
"Yeah, he usually hangs around a restaurant in Upperton, I have the address here" Dr Director said as she flicked through the file looking for the right paper.
"… S-Something's not right" Ron muttered to himself just loud enough for everyone to hear.
"You can say that again…" Sheila said as she saw the address "I know this address, it's a karaoke bar slash restaurant, my previous employer used to drag me there every Friday to hear him sing…" Sheila said cautiously so as not to let Dr Director know who she was.
"No… it's not that…" Ron said looking a little nervous. "There's something… wrong with… me… ARRGGHH!!" Ron grunted in pain as he suddenly leaned forward holding his stomach.
"Ron! What's wrong?!" Sheila asked worriedly.
Ron's eyes quickly turned to the glass of water he had been drinking fro a moment ago.
"P-Poison!" Ron realized
"What!" Dr Director stood up in shock
Shizune was the first to move, he picked up the glass and ran her right hand over it, a moment later he hand shone with a green glow as she analyzed it.
A moment later Shizune's eyed widened in horror.
"Oh no… Ron it's cyanide…" Shizune whispered.
Doctor Director knew a little about poisons.
"Oh god… Ron I'm sorry but there's nothing we can do, there is no cure" Dr Director confessed.
"No, NO, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING YOU CAN DO!" Sheila practically screamed as he knelt beside Ron who has starting to convulse with pain.
"I'm theres nothing we can do!" Dr Director said again.
"N-Nothing you can do, but there is something I can do…" Ron managed to sputter.
Ron quickly stood up and stumbled towards the door which he swung open with great force, Ron stumbled out and ran into the man in black 'Kuro' again.
"K-Kitchen!" Ron stuttered
"What in the world?" Kuro exclaimed as Ron stumbled into him
"Where is the k-kitchen?" Ron said more forcefully.
"Down this hall and turn left, then it's your second left" Kuro explained
Ron didn't waste any time, he sprinted down the hall whilst doing his best to suppress the pain. The other were hot on hi sheels wondering just what the hell he was going to do.
Ron burst into the large kitchen of the hidden base and grabbed the nearest chef.
"Ginger beer!" Ron yelled.
"W-What?" the chef asked in confusion.
"Oh for the love of…. What do they call ginger beer here?" Ron asked Kim quickly.
"I don't know what you… hey wait, you mean root beer?" Kim asked.
"Yeah, root beer, where is it?" Ron asked again.
"Over there, the beverage fridge second shelf down" the chef answered
Ron ran to the fridge and yanked it open, he quickly grabbed a can of root beer from the shelf and ripped it open, he immediately placed his lips at the hole in the can and started to drink it down.
"R-Ron, what're you doing?" Sheila asked, wondering how root beer would save his life from the cyanide now killing him.
"Sheila, I need you to trust me I need you to, ARRGGHH!" ROn stumbled and yelled in pain again as the poison continued to kill him. "ARRgghh… I need the right ingredients… I need protein…"Ron stuttered.
Shizune's eyes widened in recognition of what Ron was trying to do.
"Ron, I know what you're trying to do, but you relies how dangerous it is?" Shizune asked
"More dangerous than drinking cyanide?" Ron asked.
Shizune was silent, '… ok, good point' she thought to herself.
"Ok…. I trust you" Sheila said and then turned around to look around the kitchen, everyone seemed to have gotten the hint and started to look around for protein
After a moment of searching she saw them, she grabbed a bag of something and passed them to Ron in a hurry. Ron didn't even check what Sheila had given him, at this point the had tu trust her. He ripped the bag open and poured the contence into his mouth and started to crunch on them.
'Nuts, perfect' Ron thought with a smile, he swallowed the nuts quickly.
"S-S-SaAAAAARRRGGGHHHH!" Ron screamed in pain and fell to his knees.
"SALT! I need something salty!" Ron shouted
"I got it!" X yelled in triumph and quickly passed Ron a bag of something
"W-What is it?" Ron asked.
"It's salt!" X answered.
"No, that's too salty!" Ron said quickly
"Oh for the love of crap, you want something salty but salt is too salty!?" X asked in annoyance.
"Here" Shizune shouted as she pushed past everyone and passed a glass jar f something nasty looking.
Ron read the lable and nodded, he pulled off the lid and tipped the contence of the jar into his mouth where he quickly swallowed the slimy food.
"What was that?" Sheila asked.
"Anchovies" Shizune answered
"Ok… Ron, what else do you need" Sheila asked quickly.
"One last thing… I need… a shock…" Ron gasped through shallow breaths, he didn't have much time left.
"A shock?… no problem" Sheila said with confidence, without warning Sheila stood up walked across the room, grabbed Kim and…
"MMMPH!!" Kim protested as Sheila crashed her own lips against Kim's, Kim;s eyes widened in surprise at what her old nemesis was doing, unfortunately her surprise only allowed Sheila the opportunity to deepen the kiss.
Ron, X and everyone else there stood dazed by what they saw. Their mouths hung open in shock.
With a wet sound, Sheila separated from Kim and looked at Ron expectantly.
"Well?" Sheila asked.
Ron managed to snap out of his daze as a new wave of pain washed over him
"Arrghh… ok first of all… that, was awesome and it was shocking! Second of all… I meant an electrical shock!" Ron said awkwardly.
"…oh" Sheila responded with a blush.
"I can help you there" Yuna said as she stepped forward
She held up few hand for a moment and concentrated, her fingertips sparked with electrical energy for a moment before speaking.
"Ready?" Yuna asked
"Aim for the stomach" Ron muttered as he quickly channeled a small amount of chakra into his stomach.
Yuna moved with high speed, he thrust her fingers into Ron's stomach and sent and electrical current through his body.
"AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!" Ron's scream was the loudest yet, Yuna pulled he rhand back from his stomach and he fell to his knees and started heaving.
Everyone stepped back expecting him to throw up. Instead he did something totally different. He leaned back, pointed his mouth at the air and breathed out, suddenly a mass of black smoke poured out of his mouth and into the air, the smoke rose into the air for a moment before dissipating.
Ron stayed there for a minute breathing heavily, but alive.
"W-What the hell was that?" Dr Director asked in awe of what she had seen
"De… Detox Technique…" Ron managed to say as he stumbled to his feet.
"What?" Sheila asked, she was obviously confused
"The Detox Technique…" Shizune stepped forward to explain, "… it's an extremely old medical technique designed to rid the body of any harmful substance or toxin, it works by collecting several ingredients in the stomach and then channeling chakra and an electrical current into the stomach to invoke the reaction… it hasn't been used in a long time because if it's dangers" Shizune said with a glare at Ron.
"What dangers?" Kim asked.
"The technique uses your chakra coils like a drain pipe for the purge to occur, it uses up all of the users chakra and could result in instant death due to extreme chakra exhaustion… Ron couldn't mold chakra right now to save his life" Shizune explained
Everyone took a moment to take a sigh of relief, in the time between Ron's poisoning and curing only three minutes had passed.
"Ok guys… now that that's over… me… nap time" Ron slurred before closing his eyes and falling flat to the ground unconscious.
RFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFB
Ron's eyes fluttered open, he found himself laying on what seemed to be the couch in Kim's living room.
"… Ok, if I've been asleep for three weeks again, I'm really gonna be pissed" Ron muttered as he shook the cobwebs from his head,
"Don't worry…" a voice said from his side, Ron turned and saw Sheila sitting across from him, and she looked angry, "… you've only been out for a couple of hours, we carried you back here"
"Ah, thanks Sheila… did you figure out how the cyanide ended up in the water?" Ron asked
"We don't know for sure, Dr Director thinks that there may be a spy in GJ, she's launching an investigation whilst we continue looking for Drakken…" Sheila said, but when she spoke she was different somehow. It was hard to guess her emotions, she seemed angry, but at the same time sad and frightened.
"Sheila? What's wrong?" Ron asked
"N-Nothing" Sheila said quickly, she stood up and walked away from Ron t look out of the front window.
Ron shakily stood up and walked up behind her.
"Sheila, I can tell that something is wrong, come on, what is it?" Ron asked.
Sheila slowly turned around and looked Ron right in the face, he looked angry, very angry, like a bit of the old Shego had surfaced.
Without warning Sheila lashed out and slugged Ron right in the right cheek.
"Ow…" Ron stumbled backwards.
"Y-You bastard!" Sheila whispered just loud enough for Ron to hear, Ron looked back at her again, she still looked angry but now her eyes were filled with tears.
Sheila lashed out again and punched Ron in the other cheek, it was considerably weaker than the last one but it still stung.
"You bastard, stop it!" Sheila said with another punch.
"Stop it!" another punch.
"Sheila, stop what?" Ron asked
"S-Stop… stop dieing…" Sheila muttered out through her tears, her hits had become weaker and weaker until she no longer had the strength to continue, she leaned into his chest where she had been hitting him and started crying.
"Sheila… I'm not dieing…" Ron reasoned.
"You idiot… during the chuunin exam… when you fought Orochimaru for me… when you fought Akatsuki to save Kim… and now with the poison… you keep almost dieing, and it's killing me" Sheila said with her face buried in Ron's chest.
"Sheila… I promise you, I have no intention of dieing…" Ron said as he raised his arms and wrapped them around her.
"Ron… I care about you so much… I don't think I could handle losing you, please promise me…" Sheila started to say but stopped, she wanted to make Ron promise her something, but she couldn't quite put it into words.
"… p-promise me…" Sheila racked her brain trying to think of something to say, but only one thing came to mind.
"… ah screw it"
Sheila leaned forward quickly and pressed her lips against Ron's.
To say Ron was shocked was an understatement, but after a moment Ron started to kiss back, as he did he felt feelings for the young woman surface that he hadn't felt before.
'I…I did it… I'm kissing him… and he's kissing me back' Sheila's inner thoughts were in glee.
RFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFBRFB
Meanwhile X was in a bit of a dilemma, ever since their talk about Akatsuki he had been a little on edge. They knew of 4 members, Hanzo, Golom, Itachi and Kisame. But in truth he knew of one more, Senban Kuraichi, his newly discovered brother, he had come to Yamanuchi just a few weeks ago to offer him a position in Akatsuki as it's tenth member in place of Orochimaru, he had refused after Senban had tried to kill Yori and almost succeeded.
"You're thinking about him aren't you?" a voice asked from behind him.
X turned around and saw Yori standing behind him.
"Yori, you should be resting" X said in concern.
"Don't change the subject" Yori said sternly.
"… yeah, I'm thinking about him… sooner or later I have to tell Ron and the others" X said.
"Yes, and when you do it won't matter to them, you are not your brother" Yori assured.
Meanwhile just down the hall from them sat and very contented Sheila, she had just finished her first kiss with the man she had fallen in love with and were now watching X and Yori speak to each other, she couldn't hear what they were saying but it didn't matter.
It was obvious that Yori had feelings for X but was hiding them… it was also obvious that X had feelings for Yori, even if he himself didn't realize it.
"Hey, whatcha doing?" a voice asked from her side.
Sheila turned and saw the newcomer to their group, Yuna. With her ever present red scarf concealing her neck.
"Hey Yuna, what's up?" Sheila asked, Yuna looked like she wanted something.
"Actually, I need your help" Yuna confessed.
"Help with what?" Sheila asked.
"Well, it's a little complicated to pay close attention… just before I came here my aunt gave me permission to talk to ONE person about myself, just in case I need personal help… that one person is you Sheila" Yuna confessed.
Sheila was a little hocked but continued to listen.
"Ok… but why did your aunt choose me?" Sheila asked
Yuna smirked mischievously.
"Well… technically she chose herself, and by extension, you" Yuna said awkwardly
"… wha?" Sheila was now even more confessed than she was before
Yuna sweat dropped.
"Not getting it are you?… it's you…. you're the one who told me to talk to you… you're my aunt in the future…" Yuna said with a wide grin.
"… WHAT!!" Sheila screamed.
"Shhhhh!!" Yuna tried to quiet her down. "Would you keep it down, you're the only one who can know about this!" Yuna whispered.
"S-Sorry… so are you saying that you're one of my brothers kid" Sheila asked.
"N-No nothing like that… you and I aren't connected by blood but I've known you my entire life, hell you were my mom's midwife!" Yuna said.
"What the? Midwife?… why are you telling me all this?" Sheila asked in her confusion.
"Because I need your help now, with them" Yuna said as she pointed down the hallway at X and Yori who were still talking.
"What about them?" Sheila asked.
"I need your help to get them together, to admit their feelings for each other" Yuna explained
"Ok I'll bite… why?" Sheila asked.
Yuna seemed very hesitant to answer that question but she took a deep breath.
"Because… if they don't get together… then I'll never be born" Yuna admitted.
It took a moment for everything to click into place in Sheila's head.
"… Holy sh…"
To Be Continued…
