Chapter 6 – Dear Tsunami

Akito grimaced and proceeded back to his room. Nova and the rest of his current family were all getting to know each other. Nova kept going on and on about how they were partners and how they went way back. Akito didn't care however; he just wanted him as far away from him as possible.

Hibiki was waiting for her brother by the doorway to his room. "Brother is everything ok? I heard yelling..." her voice was even meeker then normal. "No it was nothing just some one I wasn't looking forward to seeing, arrived." Akito looked around the room and blinked in disbelief almost all of his belongings had been unpacked. "Wow you work fast..." Hibiki smiled a meek smile and nodded. "I was trying to surprise you but I heard the yelling and got worried." "Well you did a great job; you'll make someone a great wife someday." She blushed greatly from her brother's compliment.

"You didn't let Ruffles back in though did you?" Hibiki blinked slightly in an unaware manner. Akito opened a box towards the end of the room and setup a rather aged birdcage. It was a soft metallic russet and was held upright by a wooden support rod which sprouted out into 4 legs to keep it balanced. Once it was fully setup Akito opened the window in his room and opened the cage door. A small little owl with a black beak, black talons and light brown feathers hoped onto the window seal. It blinked curiously at the pair of them, then began to bounce around hoot rather cheerfully.

Hibiki knelt beside it and began to stroke it up and down its back, it closed its eyes enjoying the strokes. "That's Ruffles." Akito said smiling at his sister. "He's my messenger owl. Tsunami gave him to me as a leaving gift. He can find anyone no matter where they are." Hibiki's expression soured slightly at the mention of Tsunami but was soon brought back up to a smile by Ruffles' hopping and hooting. Akito leaned over to Ruffles and spoke a soft tone like he would a small child. "There's no messages today. We still have lots of cleaning to do, so don't pester us too much ok." Ruffles chirped and hopped then flew to his cage and hopped on his little perch inside.

"Nice place..." The voice pierced the moment of serenity. "So where will I be sleeping?" Akito turned to see Nova; apparently he had finished consorting with his cousin and aunt about his residence there. Hibiki turned to see Nova and instinctively moved to protect her brother. "So this is the little sister?" Nova stepped forward towards them and reached a hand out and stroked Hibiki's cheek in such a manner that a normal girl would have swooned in affection. Hibiki pushed him away and went to pick up her sword case and draw her blade only to have Akito put his hand on hers to tell her no. "Spunky eh? Sounds just like your type Akito." Akito quickly moved Hibiki behind him.

"Now now Akito, is that anyway to treat your partner?" Akito lunged forward toward him in an instant; he quickly slammed him against the wall and growled loudly. "I'm not your partner! You are nothing to me! Just leave me alone!" Nova smirked in a slightly sadistic way. "Temper temper Akito, if your not careful you'll loose control again... just like you did before... remember what happened to Tsunami's brother..." Akito yelled at him angrily. "That was different! He- He- he-" Akito's speech stuttered as his blood boiled; he could barely manage control. "That's it Akito let go and free the inner demon..."

Akito was on the brink, the thought of Tsunami's brother bore into his mind like a drill; and with that he snapped. Akito was no longer himself, instead of the kind, gentle person in its place was rage filled beast. He quickly grabbed Nova and flung him out the window into a nearby tree and leapt onto the window seal, then down after him in a sadistic animalist manner. Akito's inner beast was now in control, any before thoughts of rationality or mannerism were long gone. He had taken enough crap today and he was ready to take it out on someone.

Nova leapt back up onto his feet and flipped back a few feet giving himself a few feet from Akito. Akito charged at him, his hands instantly igniting in sapphire flame as he clawed frantically at Nova. Nova smirked cockily and dodged Akito's attacks of blind rage. "Now now Akito where's that fighter's spirit I remember so much? Have you gotten that soft living with Tsuna-"

Akito's fist had connected with Nova's temple and a bright flash of lights and darkness appeared before Nova's eyes as he hit the ground. Nova writhed on the ground for a moment struggling to hold in pain, only to look up to see a deranged Akito quickly descending down on him through the air. Nova's eyes widened in an instant and he quickly rolled out of the way. Akito hit the ground full force; his fists clenched together as he slammed them making a rather large crater in the fresh earth.

Nova got to his feet and took a fighting stance. Akito on the other hand crawled out of the crater on all fours like an animal and quickly leapt again at Nova. Nova was ready this time. He engulfed his fists in ebon flame as he ducked under his primary attack and punched straight upwards lodging his fist into Akito's stomach and engulfing him in Ebon flame.

Akito's howl of pain erupted and echoed through the empty yard. He curled in a ball clenching his stomach tightly. Nova walked over and smirked down at him. "Just like old time eh Akito...?"

Nova suddenly shut his eyes and felt intense pain coursing through his body as he fell to ground. A faint sound of a sword re-sheathing was heard. Nova slowly turned back to see Hibiki readying herself to take up her brother's battle.

The pain was intense, Nova had only felt this pain once before and that was when Akito's mother had protected him from Nova.

"No... It can't be..." Nova said to himself looking at Hibiki before struggling to his feet and backing away; Hibiki maintained her defense stance. "I don't know what you did to my brother... but I will not stand idly by while you further assault him, in his deranged state."

Nova let out a hissing-snarl at Hibiki then darted away in the opposite direction of the battle, to the forest surrounding the back yard. Hibiki maintained her stance for a few moments later then quickly ran to her brother's side. "Brother!"

She flung herself on his body and clung tightly. "Brother, brother... what's wrong... tell me... Brother!" Akito could hear faint sounds of Hibiki's voice that soon faded he felt himself loosing consciousness.

"Akito!" He slowly turned around for the person that called his name. "Tsunami!" He smiled and hugged her tightly. He purred softly and nuzzled her affectionately.

She looked up at him; her cheeks a soft scarlet as she placed her hands against his chest softly. "Akito... I... was wondering... if you could... Kiss me..." Akito blushed brightly and nodded. He smiled and removed her glasses that rested so cutely on her nose. She smiled back timidly still blushing profusely. He leaned down slowly and cupped her cheek; her could feel her warm breath against his lips and nose as their lips met. So soft, so warm, so perfect.

Akito could feel her quivering close to him; she was so nervous but no more then him. He had dreamt of this moment since he had first met her. The kiss reluctantly came to an end as they held each other. They had become lovers, for they loved each other and we're not afraid of that fact anymore.

Akito's eyes slowly opened as he saw three huddled blurs over him. Things slowly came into focus. It was so dark now, only a single lamp was on in the back of the room to provide light.

"Brother! Your awake!" He recognized Hibiki's voice and just smiled in sound of the voice. He sat up slowly and released a hard gasp for breath. His sides ached terribly. "Don't move too fast, you have some bruised ribs." Akito's head turned to see his cousin Iori. "Bruised rib- Ah!" Akito let out a sharp groan of pain sitting up fully. He looked down and saw gauze wrapped all along his ribs.

"You had quite the tiff. Your lucky Hibiki ran to get us when she did otherwise it probably would have been worse." Leona was standing in the door way, she smiled obviously relieved that he was awake again. "Why is it so dark?" He asked in an oblivious state. "You were unconscious for eight hours brother. It's eleven pm now."

Had he really been out for so long? He found it hard to believe but the darkness outside told him otherwise. "Well I'm fine now... thanks for worrying..." he closed his eyes and leaned back against the wall of his room. Iori got to his feet and nodded down at him. "Well get some rest then, a Riot of Blood can take a lot out of a person..." Iori walked to the shito and turned back to Hibiki a questionable look on his face. "I'm going to stay here the night..." She said looking at Iori and Leona. "In case Akito needs something..." they closed the sliding door and left.

Akito reached for his back pack despite his pain. Hibiki quickly got up and picked up his back pack and handed it to him. "You should try to get some rest brother... your injured." "I'll rest when I'm dead...," Akito said sourly mainly due to the pain. He quickly became aware of his tone towards his sister and added. "Besides I already took along eight hour nap didn't I?" He smiled at her; her face peaked into a smile.

Hibiki sat by his side curious as to what he was looking for. Akito rummaged through his back pack and pulled out a small photo album. "I always carry this with me... so I don't get too lonely." Akito opened the album and much to Hibiki's Surprise it was lined with pictures of a strange girl with long flowing red hair and a pair of soft ivory bangs that hugged her cute facial structure. Although unlike other pictures, these seemed to move on their own; as if peering into a small moment in time. A memory that was captured and bottled so that it could be preserved forever.

Some of these pictures where of this girl reading and studying and obviously not aware her picture was being taken. Others were of her smiling and laughing and even a few of her eating. Akito smiled at these pictures as he showed them to his sister. He turned a few pages; the pictures on each page seemed to grow livelier. Hibiki soon recognized her brother in a few of them with the red haired woman.

There were some of him holding her on his shoulders as she flailed slightly afraid of falling as Akito smiled up at her. Another that caught Hibiki's eyes was of the girl and her brother holding each other as Akito twirled her around happily and nuzzled his nose against hers.

Hibiki suddenly looked away feeling awkward. "That's Tsunami isn't it?" "Yea... I miss her lots." Akito said still looking at the pictures for a moment longer before closing the album and sighing. "I didn't know you two were so close..." "I know... but it's kinda been my fault I haven't had time to explain our relationship to you." Hibiki nodded and pretended to clean off dust from her skirt.

Akito looked at his sister but it was obvious she would not look at him. He wondered if he had said something that upset her and sighed. "Your probably hungry..." Hibiki got to her feet and proceeded to the shito and opened it sliding it back in place. Akito put the album back into his back pack and pulled out the note book he had been writing in before during Zen Philosophies.

He opened it slowly and read what was already written there. He began to write. 'I miss you, I wish Christmas was here already so I could spend time with you. Ruffles is fine and lively as ever as you will probably notice when you receive this letter.' He set it aside and closed his eyes. His ribs ached terribly. Akito sighed and looked down at the wrappings. He knew it wouldn't hurt so bad tomorrow in fact he knew by tomorrow he'd almost be as good as new.

Akito closed his eyes for a moment and started to think for a moment about Tsunami. In a way he was glad she wasn't with him. He was sure if she was here Nova would have even more fuel to infuriate him. Still, he missed her to no end. He could almost see Tsunami in front of him, sleeping soundly in her bed.

Tsunami slowly started to fade from view and someone else came into view. Pupa? He thought to himself watching the tan girl press her body against his blush lining her face. Akito tried to push her away, he tried desperately but his arms were not his own. They wrapped around her and pulled her closer to him. Why was he thinking about this? Or was he thinking about this?

Pupa was so close to him, he could almost swear she was right there with him. He could feel her warmth and breathe against him. Once again he tried vainly to push her away. He could feel his hands working the buttons and zippers of her pants as he struggled to stop himself.

Akito's mind raced frantically, what was he doing?! He didn't want this he wanted Tsunami. In frustration he tried to blank these images from his mind with no avail. Pupa was now fully stripped down in front of him save for her beanie which she kept on. Akito could feel his breathing increase as he struggled frantically the only person he wanted to see naked was Tsunami. Why was this happening?!

Pleasure suddenly swept over Akito's mind as he lost his train of thought. He could feel himself making love to Pupa. The immense pleasure of the warmth and moistness around him became instantly too much for him. Akito cried franticly he did not want this why was he doing it?! He could hear Pupa's sounds of pleasure and ecstasy but still he struggled to free himself of this mental prison he had brought upon himself.

Akito tried using his hands again to push her away from him, but instead saw his hands gripping her hips and rolling her over onto all fours. Stop it Stop it Stop it! He screamed in his mind hoping that hopefully he would break this bizarre vision.

"Brother!" Akito's eyes shot open in an instant his breath labored and deep as he looked at his sister. Thank god it was only a dream. Hibiki's cheeks had a red blush on them. "Brother you were... moaning..." Akito sat up again slowly and sighed. "Sorry to worry you... I guess I dozed off and had a nightmare..."

Hibiki looked at her brother in a little disbelief but nodded her head. "Here brother I brought you some egg rolls and rice." "Thanks..." Akito looked over at the letter he had began to Tsunami and sighed. He picked up his pen again and wrote. 'Tsunami, I've been having... weird dreams...'
