I liked this chapter a lot, it came to me so easily after that horrible ch. 5 so enjoy!
Chapter Six:
"I hate you…You're cheating…" Rei whimpered as Kabuto laid kisses on her neck, letting his fingers trace over her body.
"Nhn," He nipped her neck gently with a soft laugh. "So I am." His hands pushed her shirt a slight bit higher to reveal her stomach to his kisses.
"Y-you still h-have to tell m-me..." She stuttered out, opening her half lidded eyes enough to see him smirk at her. He could see she was slowly losing her reserve and soon she wouldn't care anymore, yes, very soon.
He kissed her neck up to her jaw taking her lips in his, this time she responded rather than resisted.
She felt him smile through the kiss. A small flicker of anger gave way to pleasure, she'd yell at him later. Rei let her fingers weave through his soft hair and kissed him deeper.
When Rei found consciousness again, Kabuto was gone. She punched the pillow and turned over in a huff, angry more with herself than with him.
Sighing heavily she sat up and swung her legs from the bed. Her bare toes hit the cold floor, sending a shiver up her body. She grabbed up her boots not even putting them on, and headed out of the room so fast it was nearly blinding. She ran the hallways back to her room.
More angry than even she realized, she hit the tai-jutsu post in front of her as hard as she could. Rei felt ready to explode, feeling so many different emotions at once. Anger, hate, love, disgust, sadness, all piling up behind her eyes, she was surprised she hadn't started crying yet.
Stopping a moment she listened to the birds, catching her breath, holding it all back. She thought about how badly she'd suddenly needed to get out of that disgusting place. Not stopping to change, or put her shoes on, she'd burst out into the open air, trying so hard not to cry.
"How'd I even end up here?" She'd asked herself as she fell to her knees and stared at her hands, still holding the tears back, forcing them back. Rei wasn't sure how long she sat there, but when she finally moved she'd raced around the small part of the complex that showed above ground to the small training area in the back.
Now she found herself staring at her hands again, trying so hard to sort through everything. "Am I finally losing it?" She asked quietly wondering to herself it last night had been her breaking point. She even chuckled lightly at the idea, not so much despising it as she should have.
"You little bitch, do you know how hard I've worked to even be at one of those meetings!?" Yae's fierce screech sounded just a second before she flung her fist at Rei's head.
Rei spun, just barely catching the girls balled hand, "Then maybe you ought to watch that dirty mouth of yours." Rei sounded distant even to herself, and she read it in Yae's eyes when she saw it flicker there. Though Yae didn't hold interest long.
Rei swiped her leg behind Yaeko's legs as she dipped into a crouch, Yae back flipped out of the way a moment to soon, making the Ishida girl miss. Spinning again to see Yae bounce from the palms of her hands back to her feet, Rei noticed for the first time that Hotate Yaeko was taller than her.
When Yae's next attack landing square with her chest Rei scolded herself, as she grabbed the arm that had hit her, Rei threw her body around Yae's with a quick move Itachi had taught her. She felt her elbow connect with Yae's back, at the same moment feeling the pain pulse in her chest.
The Hotate girl coughed and fell forward on her knees and hands. "…you little…what…did you do… to me…" She hacked out.
"I don't share my secrets with dogs." Rei walked away tossing her hair over her shoulder.
Rei noticed an immediate left in her mood after fighting Yae. Huh, what an odd stress reliever…Rei thought as she yanked the gray tank-top over her head and let it drop to the floor, followed by her skirt.
The warmth of flowing water washed over her body as she stepped into the shower. She could still taste the iron tang of blood in her mouth. Rei hadn't given Yae such satisfaction as to know that her hit hand caused any damage.
Having the moment, Rei took stock of her feelings and thoughts. Her anger had passed. Hate stilled burned in the back of her mind but not the blazing wild fire it was earlier, now it was under control, aimed at something, rather than everything. "Orochimaru…" She spoke his name as though it were a curse word.
Her hand pressed against the light blue tiles as she let the water run over her front. She was still disgusted with the hideout, and Sasuke, and Yae…well maybe not Yae so much as before. If she thought about it, she was disgusted with herself as well.
Disgusted because she'd fallen in love with someone other than Itachi, again. Disgusted that she'd allowed herself to stay here so long, to let it get this far. Rei stepped fully under the water, letting it soak her hair, willing it to wash away her disgust with herself.
Opening her eyes, she sighed and rubbed a hand over her face, she had to make a decision. Her body relaxed finally, as the heat coursed over it. What was her next move going to be? Her previous plan of wait and decide seemed stupid now.
Rei laughed gently, she hadn't planned on being alive after she last fought Itachi. She'd bet all her money on Itachi killing her. So that didn't leave much room for future planning before. Setting her stage, she'd never thought it would go so different from the rehearsed script.
"Well if I'm still alive, it must mean something. Maybe I can still pull this off." Rei felt suddenly much older than she was, much wiser. Things were starting to make some sense, she was starting to take responsibility. "Yes, this'll work out."
Rei stopped the water, and stood dripping with an air of enlightenment about her.
Entirely calm, Rei dried her hair, looking in the mirror. She still had a lot on her mind, but it was in order now, not the tangled mass it was just hours ago.
