Chapter 43: Can't Fight This Feeling!
Sono sat crumpled on the floor. He had just fallen out of his chair after seeing that one small, innocent kiss that Aki had given Ueno. It had come out of nowhere and shocked him much more than he expected. His chest felt like it was going to burst. It was almost worse than the first time he ever saw Aki and Ueno. When he found out they were twin boys it reminded him so much of his own brother it nearly killed him inside.
"What more are these people going to put me through!?" he cried into the dark, empty room. "They try to escape, and instead of punishing them I give them more rooms and even an outside! Just like Seiji said, "keep them happy." I'm trying but I can't do it alone!"
He curled up into the carpet of the floor. Sono very much liked this room, it still smelt like his brother, even after all this time. He ran a hand through his short brown hair. It was never slicked back anymore, he hated it when he looked like his brother, it just reminded him that he wasn't. To Sono Yamada, Seiji was his most respected person, and the one he loved the most.
"I miss you..." he murmured into the darkness. Sono's mind was getting more and more clouded by his grief and pain. As he lay on the floor he once again tried to ask himself what it was all for. He couldn't think of an answer.
"Hey Ueno..." Aki whispered as Karin shut the door after tucking them into bed. Ueno, whose back was turned towards his brother, simply grunted, "What?"
Aki smiled deviously and inched his way across their small bed to lay directly next to Ueno. He sat his chin on his brother's shoulder and asked,
"You wanna do it again?"
Ueno stiffened then asked slowly, "Do what again?"
"What we did earlier..." Aki explained, "Kiss."
"No..." Ueno flushed.
"But why not?" Aki whined. "You liked it."
"How do you know what I like?" Ueno hissed as he tried to move away from Aki a little. It seemed like it was getting hotter under the covers.
Aki just scooted closer and tugged on a handful of Ueno's pink hair lightly. "Because I liked it... and we're the same..."
"No we're no-!" He was hushed by a small peck on his lips. Aki held onto the front of Ueno's pajama's tightly as he deepened the kiss, even letting his tongue slip out once or twice. Ueno felt like he was becoming intoxicated by the feel of his brothers mouth on his. At first he didn't move, but soon some animal force seemed to take over and he flipped them so he was the one on top, his small hands holding fast to Aki's hands.
Aki smiled when Ueno finally broke away from their incredibly sloppy embrace. Ueno's face was flushed bright red and his eyes were hazy, as though he were under a spell. He suddenly looked at his hands and saw how tightly he was holding onto Aki's wrists. He gasped and released the in a second yelling,
"I'm so sorry Aki I didn't mean to-!"
"Shhh!" Aki hushed him just as the door opened and light flooded the room.
"Go. To. Bed." Karin growled in annoyance, even though she usually had to do this every night. "Now!"
"Yes Mother..." The boys said at the same time. She shut the door and Aki let out an exhausted sigh. Ueno was still staring at the red marks on Aki's wrists and feeling bad. Suddenly Aki smiled.
"We should do it again."
"But Mom said-"
"Not now, Dummy." Aki giggled. "just... some time."
Ueno blushed again and turned his head away before murmuring, "O- OK...."
Aki laid down and rested his head on Ueno's shoulder. Ueno let out a sigh of relief. If he didn't have Aki, he would be very lonely.
As they laid in bed one night Konan very discreetly whispered into Leader-sama's ear,
"The others have been getting restless lately. Especially Suigetsu and Naruto. They are very young and shouldn't be locked in here anyway. When do you think we should plan another escape?"
Pein was quiet for a while then as he kissed her forehead he murmured, "Let me sleep on it. I will think of something..."
Sleep on it he did, and as he slept he dreamt. When he awoke he turned to Konan and smiled.
"I have a feeling an opportunity for escape will appear all on it's own very soon."
"HAPPY BIRTHDAYS!"
Aki and Ueno sat smiling widely in the middle of every one of their friends and parents; Karin, Suigetsu, Kisame, Hidan, Kakuzu, Mei, Sasuke, Naruto, Juugo, Sasori, Deidara, Konan, Leader-sama, Tobi, Zetsu, Kabuto, and Chibi-oro.
"What did we get!?" Ueno asked cheerfully.
"Exactly what you wanted of course!" Suigetsu smirked at them as he pulled a large box from behind his back. "Be careful when you open it."
They smiled towards each other in excitement then ripped off the wrapping. There was another box with tons of holes in it then once they opened that, Ueno reached in and pulled out a small, white bunny rabbit.
"We can name him Usa-chan!"
"But..." Aki muttered and looked down sadly, making Ueno glance at him curiously. "Why do you need a bunny when you already have me?"
Ueno's eyes flew open and he quickly turned and held Aki in his arms saying in a comforting tone,
"You're cuter than any pet, Aki! I just hoped we could take care of Usa-chan together."
A few from the audience had to glance away as the aura the two were giving off became far to shimmery for them to handle.
"Enough of that! It's cake time!" Karin yelled loudly as she pushed the two of them apart. They shared a giggle at their mother's expense as a gigantic cake was wheeled through the kitchen doorway into the main room.
"It's huge!" Aki, Ueno, and Mei all gasp at once. Even Chibi-oro is a bit taken aback by the sheer volume of the cake.
"That's what she said." Hidan quickly murmured so only Naruto, who happened to be standing close by, could hear. Naruto covered his mouth and snorted as Hidan just crossed his arms and looked super smug at his joke. Kakuzu and Sasuke on the other hand... both looked pissed. Stupid jealous seme's.
Just as Mei, Ueno, and Aki were about to burst into the cake and eat it without even cutting slices they heard Sasori say,
"Yeah, Deidara helped me make it."
All three children stopped instantly. As they were backing away from the cake Mei smiled nervously and asked,
"Uncle... Deidara helped?"
Sasori just smiled and nodded as Deidara himself ran out of the kitchen and asked loudly,
"Do you like it, un?"
"Er..." Ueno muttered, rubbing the back of his head. Mei nudged Aki who gulped then asked, "Uncle Deidara... It's not gonna explode... is it?"
Sasori gave Deidara a searching look which Deidara seemed to avoid until he just burst out laughing. He pulled a smaller cake from behind his back, set it on the ground, then in the next moment, it exploded. Everyone jumped back about ten feet except Deidara, who was expecting it, and Sasori, who was used to it.
"Ok, all done, un. The other one won't go bang. Danna made me promise yeah."
Mei was the first one to begin laughing shakily as she stood up and reached for the large knife next to the cake. Hidan noticed her instantly. He grabbed her wrist and stared her down with a raised eyebrow.
"Can't I cut it?" She asked politely. Hidan just shook his head and picked the knife up himself. Mei was pouting as he cut the first piece.
"How come you never let me do anything?" she asked grumpily as Aki and Ueno went off to play with Usa-chan.
"Because all you want to do is fucking kill yourself!" Hidan growled for what seemed like the millionth time he was telling his daughter. "Seriously, do you like getting all cut up like that?"
Her face grew redder and angrier as she yelled, "But you don't care that Daddy's all cut up-!"
"That's different, Mei!" Hidan growled as he handed her a piece of cake and patted her on the head. "You're a girl, and we don't want you to grow up looking like... one of us."
She didn't quite understand what he was referring to and her face was glowing with curiosity, but before she could ask he walked away and she got distracted by Aki and Ueno shower her what they were doing with Usa-chan.
So... I've been watching Ouran too much.
Anyway. Decided to end this at 50 chapters. Let's see how that goes. Last time I decided to do that I ended up with 51 chapters but oh well. Sorry for taking so long. School has been weird and I'm now the person in charge of the Chris Cross fan club at my school. There's a guy named Chris Cross, and hes sexy, and we fangirl over him. I made a group on facebook. Apparently, hes got a lot more fans than we first imagined.
