To xxOchibixx, first of all, thank you very much for your review. Second, the previous chapter was more of a filler that leads to the more interesting parts of the party. The song-majority of the chapter was kind of supposed to represent how Yoruichi was trying to focus solely on getting through the party instead of Itachi.
Still though, I'll try to put more focus on the interactions rather than the songs. Thank you for the suggestion. ^^
Because of this suggestion and Arianna Le Fay's review, I am posting again.

Chapter Twelve: The Party Part Two
~Itachi~
I stumbled back as Yoruichi's fist connected with my chest the instant the door was locked behind me. I didn't resist and allowed her vent on me. I deserve it anyway. "What is wrong with you?" she bit out before punching me again. "Don't you understand what you did?" Punch. "You left me." Punch. "After taking my virginity." Punch. "How is that supposed to look to me? Huh?" Punch, punch.
"I'm sorry, Yoruichi. But… I needed some time alone," I tried to explain.
"Some time alone is a day. Some time alone is at least sending me a text telling me you need some time alone. But you just disappeared. And when I next saw you, you wouldn't even look at me as you passed me in the halls."
I looked at her face and it dawned on me exactly how much I had hurt her when I saw the tears she was desperately trying to hide. And to say I felt guilty would be an understatement.
"Yoruichi…. I'm sorry. I really am. But I just couldn't bear to stay in there. Not after finding out that you are my twin."
"So?"
"So?" I was confused by her nonchalance about this whole thing.
"So what if we're twins? It doesn't change what we did," she clarified for me.
"No, it makes what we did wrong. Yoruichi, incest is wrong in itself, but add in the fact that we're twins makes it even worse."
"I. Don't. Care." I opened my mouth to protest. "I don't. And for all of your high talk, for all your morals, neither do you. Because if you did, you wouldn't be standing in my face right now. You wouldn't have appeared during that song, and Deidara would still be my partner."
I stared at her silently. She was right. Even now, while I try to remember the words to the speech I had prepared during the last two days, I am drawn to her. I just can't convince myself to care, no matter how much I try.
It was because of this realization that I pulled the girl into my arms and kissed her deeply. Her arms wrapped around my neck as she pressed fully into me.
"Ita-kun…."
"You're right, I don't care," I murmured against her lips. "Despite trying not to, I can't help but see you as my lover, not my twin." She smirked victoriously and looked up at me.
"I knew you couldn't." I chuckled softly and pecked her lips before getting serious.
"Koi, despite this fact, you know we can't repeat our birthday activities."
"Itachi," she whined.
"We can't. I don't mind the odd kissing and perhaps some caressing. But going all the way is where I draw the line."
She sighed softly and nodded. "Fine, I guess I can agree with only second base. You're just mean and cruel to my horny side, you know that?" I laughed softly just before she pulled my head down for a kiss. "I love you, Ita-kun."
"I love you too, koibito," I said with a smile.
"Hey, Yoruichi! We're up again in one minute!" We heard through the door. Yoruichi sighed softly and pulled back out of my arms.
"We're continuing this later," she told me with a glare. I chuckled and nodded.
"Alright."
~Kimiko~
I cheered along with the other teens at the party (except for Sasu-kun, he's just standing there all stoic like and whatnot) as Yoruichi and Itachi ran out on the stage.
"Did you all miss us?!" she teased the crowd, laughing when most of the males said yes. "Now, now, there is no reason to miss me! I told you I was gonna be back in ten minutes, and I'm here now, ten minutes later!"
"Yoruichi, stop teasing the poor souls and get back to the music!" Itachi reprimanded her teasingly, coming up beside my older sister.
"Fine, fine! You boys are lucky Itachi is here to keep me in line!" Yoruichi said, shoving the Uchiha playfully. She nodded over to the band and they started the music for Cool for the Summer by Demi Lovato.
"They are just amazing performing together, aren't they?" I asked Sasuke over the music. He only nodded, though, which made me frown. "Did I do anything that you don't like without my realizing it? If I offended you in any way, just tell me. You don't have to keep it from me just to keep from hurting my feelings."
"You didn't offend me," he said shortly. I huffed when he refused to even look at me.
"Then are you already tired of being in a relationship with me?" He remained silent, and my eyes widened. "You are? Why are you trying to drag it out then? That's only hurting me worse than just ending things!" His eyebrows furrowed at this, but he still didn't say anything. Tears started filling my eyes, and I backed away from him. "Whatever, Sasuke. It's nice to know where I stand now with you."
"Kimi, wait!" I ignored him as I turned on my heel and ran away from him. I couldn't believe he led me on like this! Why would he…?
"Let go!" I yelled as a hand wrapped around my wrist, stopping my sprint.
"I am not tired of our relationship, Kimi. I never would be in a million years," Sasuke said softly. I turned around to face him, narrowing my eyes at him.
"Then why wouldn't you answer me?"
"Because the answer to your question is something I'm not allowed to tell you. Not yet anyway. And I couldn't think of a suitable statement that wasn't a lie fast enough. Then you said that I was those ridiculous things, and I was trying to figure out if I ever led you to believe that in any way."
I looked at him silently for a few moments before sighing, relaxing my fight-or-flight stance. "I'm sorry I overreacted. I'm just touchy about our relationship sometimes." He smiled at me softly and cupped my cheek in his hand.
"Don't be. I would never want to be with anyone but you." I smiled back at him. At that moment, though, my phone started ringing in my pocket. One look at caller id said it was my mom.
"Mommy?"
"Kimi, no matter what anyone tells you, always remember that Mommy and Daddy love you, ok?" came her near frantic and very breathless voice.
"Mommy, what's the matter? Is everything ok?"
"I don't have enough time to explain. Just remember that for me, ok?"
"O-ok. But what….?"
"I have to go, sweetheart. Daddy is…." I suddenly heard a loud boom, and a bunch of voices ordering my parents to get down on the ground.
"Mommy? Mommy what's going on?!"
"I love you, Kimi," came her whisper just before the line was disconnected. I looked down at my phone in disbelief.
"Kimi…."
"What just happened?" I asked softly.
"I think I should get you to a quieter spot," Sasuke said softly. As I followed him numbly, I listened to my older sister launch into the song Mean by Taylor Swift.
"Sasu-kun, what's going on? You know what just happened to my mother, don't you?" I asked him softly as he sat me down in a chair.
"Kimi…." He sighed and sat down in front of me. "I guess now is alright for me to tell you. Kimiko, Yoruichi is not your older sister." I opened my mouth, but he held up his hand to stop me. "She is my older sister, Itachi's twin sister. She was kidnapped as a baby by your parents, and we only just found out the day after her and my brother's birthday."
"Then… then that was just…." He nodded.
"Your parents were just arrested for breaking and entering, and kidnapping."
Decided to end things there! I think that's pretty good, considering the fact that I pretty much free wrote it these last couple of hours and edited it to perfection. Enjoy!
Reviews are greatly appreciated.
