Chapter 15:

Finally

Previously:

"I said open up, man." A muffled voice called through the door.

"We know your in there!" A second voice called. Wait I know those voices. I immediately ran over and opened the door.

"Uncle Lou and Miss Lenney!" I shouted!


"So what's up, man?" My Uncle Lou always called everyone man. We had just entered one of the lounge areas. Konan had disappeared from behind me before I opened the door. Good. At least I wouldn't have to explain anything to them about the Akatsuki.

"Nothing much... Oh, but I did just accepted a new movie role." I replied. I liked Uncle Lou, he's one of those cool adults, the ones that would buy alcohol for an under aged teen, and share wild party stories from his past. He lived the Bachelor Life in the city and made money as a Plastic Surgeon, exclusively for Celebrities. Stars loved him because not only was he the best at what he did, but also that he was good at keeping secrets. He never told reporters about who came to his office for a nip or a tuck. He was a very loyal person in that aspect.

"Nice." He smiled as he leaned back in the couch.

"Your parents will be back soon, correct?" Miss Lenney asked. She's a serious person, by nature not one for many words. And also lived the single life with Uncle Lou, just without the excessive partying. She was the oldest among my parents and Uncle Lou, in her late 50's but still looked good. I swear she could pass for 30, especially since she was super fit and in shape. Damn, she made 50's look good.

"Yeah, on Saturday... But um," I knew I might have a chance at getting information from them about mom's odd phone call, especially Uncle Lou. "They where being a bit weird on the phone the last time I talked to them. Then mom said she'll talk to me when they get back and hung up. You wouldn't know what she needs to talk to me about, would you?"

They gave each other a look before Miss Lenny spoke, "I'm not going to lie to you Kami. We know what your parents intend to discuses with you. But..."

"But, you won't tell me." I finished as I looked down disappointed. Damn, this night is just filled with disappointments.

"Sorry, man. We just don't feel like it's our place to tell you." Great, him saying that only adds to my frustration to know. Suddenly there was a loud crash.

"TOBI! I'M GONNA KILL YOU, YEAH!"

"B-BUT... IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! TOBI IS SORRY!"

Shit! I'm fucked. I thought as Uncle Lou and Miss Lenny shot out of their seats.

"Who is here?" Miss Lenny asked glaring at me.

"Do you feel that?" I heard Uncle Lou whisper to Miss Lenny.

"Yes, Chakra. They must be here." she replied in a low voice. How do they know about chakra? "Kami?" she called."Are the Akatsuki here?" How did she know about the Akatsuki? But I knew there was no way I could lie to her when the evidence was all around us, literally. And lieing to Miss Lenny would be a stupid act. That woman could tell if you were lieing and always had a way of finding out the truth.

"Yes, but how do you know about them and-"

"Then we must leave." Miss Lenny said as they made their way to the door.

"But, wait-"

"Sorry, man. We'll see you on Saturday when your parents come home." Uncle Lou gave me a bear hug. But I pushed him off.

"Can the endless torment of this day stop all ready." I whispered to myself.

I curled up in bed and waited for sleep to come. Pooches laid next to me. I had put him out in the backyard instead of walking him tonight because I felt so tired. So drained. After everything that's happened tonight, a course of different emotions rushed though me; confusion, anger, frustration, embarrassment, and pain. I could still feel the pain ache from Itachi's words.

On top of all that, my mind was swirling with so many unanswered questions;What do my parents want to talk to me about? What does the Akatsuki have to do with them? Is the Akatsuki's sudden arrival not as unexpected as I thought?Why does it seem like everyone knows but me? Why did I have to be a fool and confess to Itachi? Now every moment with him will be awkward.

Then there was a knock at the door, pulling me from my thoughts. The door opened and Konan walked in. "Are you asleep?"

"No," I replied.

"Then can you come downstairs. There's something important we would like to discuss with you."

"No! I'm tired and I don't want to talk to anyone right now." I said angrily as I smothered my face into the blankets. I know Konan wasn't to blame for any of my problems but I couldn't help but be upset.

"Alright, then we'll talk to you tomorrow, Goodnight." And the door click shut.

I shifted in my bed before a thought popped into my head, Wait, what's so important that they need to talk about. Great! I smacked myself in the head. Now I'm adding more questions into my already crowded mind. I jumped out of bed and ran down the stairs. No! No more sitting around guessing. I was tired and wanted to sleep but I knew that my mind would only wonder to the many possible topics that the Akatsuki would like to talk to me about.

"Konan!" I called as I searched the hallways. I just want to know what the fuck is going on! "I just want to know what the fuck is going on!"I shouted. All the emotions and questions I held inside where leaking out.

"Kami." Konan stood behind me. Her eyes filled with concern. "We're in here." She gestured to the dinning room door. As I walked past her she whispered into my ear, "I promise all your questions will be answered, now." I immediately understood what she meant when I walked in and saw my parents along with the Akasuki, Uncle Lou, and Miss Lenny sitting at the table.

"Finally," I whispered to my myself.


*** Review***

Anyways, I think the Title of the chapter is perfect since you finally got a new chapter and Kami is finally getting some answers.
