Chapter 21-Final Training
Law's POV
Knowing that Akira is back and safe, I finally managed to fall asleep last night. Although she's still sleeping. Usually she's the first one up but its already breakfast time and she's still in bed.
"Yo." I heard Akki's voice call and I looked up to see none other than the demon.
"Mr Akki. What do I owe the pleasure of your presence?" I asked smirking.
"No need for sarcasm. I know none of you like me being here. But I'm here for Aki's last training." he said and with that left the galley to retrieve said assassin.
When he returned, everyone was surprised to see him carrying Akira. She was straddling his waist, arms around his neck and tail wrapped around his hips, as he held her to his chest by his arms under her thighs and her lower back. She was in her usual pjs, oversized white t-shirt and her underwear.
I noticed she's awfully quiet, then I realised why. She is quietly crying.
"What's wrong?" I asked concerned.
"She suffers terrible nightmares." Akki sighed as he sat down in her seat with Akira still in his arms.
"What kind of an assassin are you if you let something as small as nightmares get to you?" I just stared wide eyed as Akki actually talked to her softly. Yet she didn't say a word and cling to him like her life depended on it. That just pissed me off further. Why is he so close to her?
He rubbed his hand down and up her back, trying to calm her. It seemed to work as she slowly stopped crying.
"Your seriously like a little kid sometimes." he smiled as she rubbed her tears away. "The technique you used against Senkou was a very high level one. I'm sorry for making you do it. It has dire consequences if used unprepared. That's why I'm here, to fix what I broke. Here, eat this and your energy will return." he explained as she let go of his neck.
"No." Akira said with a weak voice.
"Don't make me force you." he glared a little but still held a soft edge in his voice. I guess he really is sorry about his slip up.
"No." she repeated. He is trying to make her eat a little black candy looking thing.
"I guess I have no other choice." Akki said with a sigh. The next thing, he puts the candy in his mouth and pulls her into a kiss, opening her lips, pushes the black candy into her mouth with his tongue and doesn't let go until she has finally swallowed it.
I could feel rage boil up in me. How dare he do that to my Akira?! I'll kill him.
"Mr Akki." I stood up glaring at him as I said with a murderous tone.
Akira started coughing and pushed against his chest. As she regained her composure she gave him a death glare as well.
"I would wanna start running now, if I were you. Cause you wont get away with what you just did." she said darkly, a deadly aura radiating off of her. Thank God, she's back to normal.
He paled and took off running with Akira close behind him with murder intent.
My fury didn't go away though, I am still annoyed that, that demon kissed her. I sat back down very much pissed and ready to kill the next thing that bugs me.
Akira's POV
I chased Akki all over the sub until he stopped and I punched him in the face.
He spit out blood but stood up again.
"Calm down, will ya? Its not that big of a deal." he said as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Yes it fucking is. I'm sick and tired of people, demons, doing whatever the fuck they want to me. I'm not a doll that you can just toss around and play with!" I shouted at him.
"I know that. But if you want people to respect you then you have to earn it and stop acting like a spoiled brat all the fucking time!" he shouted back.
"How am I acting like a brat? Please, do tell." I glared at him arms crossed.
"For starters you refuse to take medication that helps you, never do what your told, get into a lot of trouble, refuse to sleep just because of a little nightmare instead of facing it and you never let people help you, you shut them out. How do you seriously expect to get far in a pirate crew where your expected to work in a team and protect one another!" he shouted. I looked at him wide eyed as all of this sunk in.
"I can take care of myself." I said looking down.
"No you cant. You nearly died just now. You need to rely on people and let them rely on you. You cant just push people away from yourself forever. Humans are social beings, loneliness will crush you." he said grabbing my shoulders making me look into his eyes. Is he seriously that worried about my well being?
"What do you care?" I asked annoyed fighting back the tears that are threatening to spill.
"I cant let my father's assassin ruin herself. And I'd like my student to be strong. Not only physically but spiritually too." he said determined.
"Wait. Your Death's son?" I asked shocked.
"Yea, I think I forgot to mention that. But that isn't the point. Open up to your crew and let them help you." he pressed on.
"I don't know how." I cried. Which surprised him and let go of my shoulders. "I don't know how to let people in. I always built a wall around my heart to protect me. I'm afraid of betrayal."
"They wont betray you. They're your family." he said softly.
"How do you know that? How do you know that Law wont just stab me in the back when the time comes. How do you know that he wont hate me when he finds out about who I really am. And the others? They're scared of me as it is." I cried falling to my knees and hugging my arms. Why am I so worried of what Law thinks of me? Of all people.
"I don't know. That's the thing about life. You never know what's to happen next. That's why its so exiting isn't it? You shouldn't let things like this worry you. I can tell that the Heart Pirates like you, and Law? He's one possessive bastard that's for sure. He was ready to cut me into pieces when I kissed you. I don't think he would ever betray you. These guys like you for who you are and not for what you are." Akki said softly as he knelt down in front of me wiping away my tears.
"Now, I suggest you stop crying and get over this whole ordeal, because we have training to do." he pulled me up as I nodded to him.
I took a shower and got dressed. Maybe I should trust them. I wonder what Law will say when he finds out my real name.
I met Akki in the training room and we started our training.
My last task was to learn human shifting.
Akki said that its hard cause I have to change my DNA in delicate details. I have to concentrate and focus completely on the appearance I wanna take up.
It took me a while to be able to complete my first shift perfectly. I chose to shift into Xena. It was hard.
Next came a guy's appearance and Akki made me change into Law. Saying I dreaded turning into him is an understatement. But after I did it, being in a male's body was so much different than a females. Felt so weird.
Akki told me that I learned the harder way, and that I can shift easier if I make physical contact whit the person I want to shift to. That turned into an argument as I was very much pissed that he made me go through all that, but now I can shift into a person that I imagine without a problem. So in the end I guess I have to thank him for that.
"Your training never ends but you don't need my help anymore." Akki said smiling.
"Will I ever see you again?" I asked as I returned his smile. We are standing on deck as the sub is above water. Law and most people are out here.
"Of course. You cant get rid of me that easily." he grinned.
"Haha, no I guess not. Take care, son of Death." I grinned at him.
"You too, daughter of-" he started but I cut him off.
"Akki!" I shouted glaring at him.
"Don't worry, I wasn't about to reveal your secret." he said sticking his tongue out at me.
"Get outa here already." I said annoyed and turned around.
I knew he was smirking and soon enough he disappeared.
"What secret?" Law asked curiosity written all over his face
"Oh for fucks sake." I said annoyed and stomped inside.
"Hey, come back here." he shouted after me angrily.
"Make me." I smirked and took off running. It looks like I partake in cat and mouse chases a lot lately.
He chased me all over the sub until he managed to catch up to me and shoved me up against the wall, banging my head on it in the process.
"Ouch." I grimaced rubbing the back of my head.
"You have the nerve." he growled in a low whisper.
"Oh come on. You had fun, admit it." I smirked.
"And what makes you say that?" he asked glaring.
"You like fighting with me as much as I do. You cant deny that one." I said grinning.
"Maybe. But I yet to punish you for your little stunt from before." he said darkly and pulled me into his operating room. At least he forgot about my 'secret'.
He pushed me into the room and locked the door behind him. Oh shit. I'm in trouble aren't I?
I gulped as I stood up to face him. Yea I fell on my face as he shoved me in, he isn't the gentlest guy you know.
"You don't know what you put me through with your disappearing stunt." he glared bloody murder.
"Oh come on. Like I could help it. Its not my fault that bastard flew off like that." I shouted pouting. Why is he blaming me? I just did my job. Its not my fault I ended up passion out on an enemy ship.
"Your fault or not, I don't like you getting that close to other men." I had to take a second there to register what he just said.
"Are you by any chance jealous Law?" I asked smirking.
"Don't push your luck. I'm already mad at you for being friendly with the enemy." he said as he grabbed my throat and pushed me up against the far wall from the door. Being very close, he leaned in to glare into my eyes.
"My brothers are not enemy. And whatever you say I will never turn against them or their crews. I understand now that this crew is my family and I will make an effort to open up more, but if you try to keep me on such a short leash, then I might just bite the one who hold the end of it." I said all metaphorical and shiz.
"I'm glad you wanna open up, but stop being friendly with the crews who are not your own or your brothers'." he pushed on never breaking his glare.
"Look, if they haven't done anything to provoke a fight or even as much as glared at the crew then there's no reason to be hostile towards them. They're not my enemy unless they put my family in danger." I said with determination in my eyes. He let go of my throat but didn't move away.
"This crew is your family. You better not forget that." he said his expression softening.
"If your afraid that by being friendly with other crews will make me wanna join them, then your severely mistaken. Because the one thing that I definitely am is loyal. Law, I swear loyalty to you. That will never change. Yea, I have brothers with their own crew who I think are awesome people, but the one who I'll always be loyal to is you not them. This mark is the evidence of that." I touched my tattoo with my right hand. "You might have did it without my consent and I was a bit…ok very pissed at you at first but in the long run I don't regret it one bit. You don't have to worry about me cause I don't stray." I ended my little rant and he looked calmer now.
"You better keep your word." he said smirking. He obviously liked what I just said.
"I will." I looked him straight in the eye.
"But it still bugs me how close you are with other men." argh, he never gives up does he?
"What other men? Akki? Cody? Who? Am I not even allowed to be friends with those guys now?" I asked annoyed.
"Your too close to them." he glared.
"Its none of your business. Your not my boyfriends, so you have no right to tell me that." I glared into his eyes.
"I'm your captain." he said leaning closer, too busy glaring to realize we're only centimetres apart.
"Weak excuse." I glared back.
"How is this for an excuse?" he asked and closed the remaining space between us as he pushed his lips to mine. I froze under his touch. His kiss is different than Akki's or that other idiot demon's. Law's is warm and he has the softest lips. I could only melt into his kiss as he moved his mouth against mine.
OMG it happened / yey
Please review and tell me what you think X3
