Constancy

Chapter Eight

-Fate-

"Where have you been?!" Gaara glared at his youngest once more. They were in the throne room yet again, but this time, along one of the walls were all the shells of the eggs the dragons had come from. Kensei's was on a pedestal ahead of the others, looking as if it were waiting to be used in this ceremony. "You've been gone for nearly three days!"

"So what." The princess snapped back. "At least you know I wasn't being…what was it mother called me, a two bit tramp." Natsumi seethed, glaring at the pink haired woman who sat on the arm of the massive throne. "By the way mother, it doesn't make me a tramp if I sleep with the one I love. Flirting with your husband's brother…now that's a tramp." She explained simply.

"Natsumi." The redhead scolded once more. "Stop this at once and get a hold of yourself. Stop being defiant and tell me where you were."

Natsumi scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest. She was back in the attire she had arrived in, since she had been gone with Tsuin. "I don't owe you two anything, nor am I your subject in which you can order me around. I am a princess, and I will take my secrets to the grave. Besides…you'll find out in due time."

Before any more could be said, the doors opened and in filed the other riders, all dressed nicely for the ceremony. Their faces turned to surprise upon seeing Natsumi, though some faded to indifference. Akito pushed past the others, walking until he was before her. He was dressed in fine black cloth, clearly made for special occasions. "You're back." He stated, looking into her face and not caring that they had an audience.

She couldn't help the small smile that cleared away her once angry features. "Yeah…" she whispered. "Sorry I left without telling you…I just…needed some time by myself." Natsumi frowned, lowering her head as she rested one of her hands on his chest.

He placed his hand over hers, rubbing the back with his thumb. "I was worried…"

"Can we just get this over with already?" Taka snapped, crossing her arms. "You two can be stupid later."

A sharp jade glare shifted over to the brunette, whom Natsumi attempted to hit, but was successfully held back by Akito. The doors to the side of the throne room were thrown open and a loud yell was heard. "I have returned my friends! I have returned an all powerful sorcerer!" a dark brown haired man yelled.

Everyone looked over to him, not really seeming impressed. "Okay." Akito said, still holding Natsumi back.

"Who cares?" Taka asked.

"Congratulations Haru!" Minako cheered, running over and hugging him. "It's so good to have you back." She smiled.

"It's good to see you Mina! You're gorgeous! And your boobs!" he marveled.

Minako's face turned a dark red. "Um…thank you." she said, holding her arm as she became self conscious.

He looked around at the scene, taking in everyone's appearance. "Wow! Man, people change!"

"You still look like an idiot." Akito smirked.

"Akito!" Haru burst out, running to his long time friend and hugging him tightly. "It's been so long! How are you?" he beamed, looking down to the pink haired princess. His jaw dropped, "Natsumi?!" he gasped, giving her a once over. "You might be the sexiest woman I've ever seen!"

The ebony haired man pushed his friend away. "Okay, back off." he glared slightly. "Don't let those eyes wander."

"Now, now Akito." The brunette smirked, his sapphire eyes showing his profound knowledge. "Your claim may be solidified in physical terms, but fate has yet to grant you what you wish. I would be nice to the one who will ordain this for you."

The Uchiha's gaze narrowed. "I hate sorcerers." He huffed, crossing his arms. "They think they know everything."

"I do know everything." Haru retorted, his taunting look growing. "I was blessed with the 'All Seeing Eye', a very much sought out trait in a sorcerer. Nothing is hidden from me…" he frowned then, glancing down at Natsumi with sad eyes. "Everything…"

The princess looked up at him, a question rising, but before she could ask Gaara announced they would be beginning soon. All of the riders lined up in front of the eggs, in order of when they received their dragons. Minako stood off to the side with Kyo, fidgeting slightly in her nerves of the ceremony to come. Akito glanced next to him at Natsumi, before returning his gaze to the eggs, to his egg, and prayed that it was her egg that joined his.

Haru walked before them, examining every one of the riders. He stopped in front of Satomi, leaning in. The closer he got the narrower her glare became. "What are you doing?" she demanded.

"Seeing if you'll crack a smile." He chuckled. "You were the most serious little kid I ever did meet you know."

She rolled her eyes. "Fascinating. Please, get this over with."

The brunette nodded and walked away from her, picking up Akito's egg and closing his eyes. It began to glow faintly, and everyone watched in slight awe. He set the egg back down and began his assessment. His hand hovered above each egg, as if he were trying to sense which it would be. After he went over each of the eggs, he went back and then his eyes widened. Suddenly, the two pink eggs that were joined together began to glow brightly and Haru picked them up, showing them to the crowd.

Everyone's eyes widened, but before anything could be said Kyo stepped forward, an angry look on his normally cheerful face. "He gets two?!" he shouted. "No! I will not have it!" he said adamantly.

Both Satomi and Natsumi's eyes were wide. They looked at one another before looking back at Haru. The sorcerer shrugged, "Well technically since Satomi is the elder she is the one who has the-"

"I slept with Kyo!" the elder twin burst out, a dark blush spreading across her cheeks. The blonde's eyes widened and shot over to Gaara, fearful of what would happen to him.

"WHAT?!" the redhead exploded. "When?!" he demanded.

Satomi thought back on the matter. "Um…I think it started about seven months ago."

"Yeah, when we went out to that island and found the waterfall." Kyo nodded, scooting further away from the king.

Sakura pinched the bridge of her nose. "Satomi…why would you do such a thing knowing about the ceremony?" she asked, looking to her daughter.

She met her mother's gaze, studying her for a bit before sighing. "Because I like Kyo. And I didn't want to marry Akito." The elder princess glanced over to the dark haired man, "No offense."

"None taken." He replied, smiling at Natsumi. "Now we can be married." He said, cupping her cheek.

"We can?" she almost screamed in her excitement.

Satomi scoffed. "Of course you can, even if I had wanted to marry him, you guys already had sex so the seal is made."

Haru nodded in agreement, but everyone else was wide eyed. Even Natsumi and Akito. "How…how do you know that?" Natsumi whispered. As far as she was concerned, no one but her parents knew, and they looked equally surprised.

"Um…" she looked off. "Cause' I heard it…"

"From who?" Gaara demanded.

Satomi sighed. "Akito."

Natsumi flashed a hateful glare at the man beside her. "What."

His eyes widened. "I didn't say a thing, I swear!" he said, looking to the elder twin. "How did you hear it from me? We barely spoke the other day."

"I don't need to speak to hear things." She admitted, watching him with that same gaze from the other day. Something crawled around in his brain, sorting through his thoughts.

He frowned, reaching up and pulling on his hair, trying to push the entity out of his head. Then his eyes widened. "That's you?" he asked softly.

Satomi smirked. "Natty's not the only one with an anomaly."

His frown deepened at the knowledge that she had invaded his mind and sifted through his thoughts, and was actually still doing it. 'Get out.' a deep voice said from Akito's mind, before the darkness pushed Satomi out of the ebony haired man's head.

That same look came to her face that she had the night before. When she said there was something off about him. But their silent debate ended when Natsumi shot off. "I knew it!" though she wasn't talking about her sister. Her glare was directed at her parents. "I knew it!" she said once more. "I knew Akito was mine and you tried to repress me! Tried to punish me!"

"Sweetheart, just because you knew doesn't mean you can sleep with him before becoming his official mate." Sakura said. "It's not proper."

"Maybe I don't wanna be proper. I just want to have sex." She huffed.

Gaara almost fainted. "Will you please stop talking about that."

"So when can we get married?" Akito turned and looked at the royals. "Because I want it to be as soon as possible."

"Tomorrow." Natsumi spoke up, glaring her parents down. "And if that is absolutely impossible, the day after. I will not wait any longer."

"We'll see what can be done." Sakura said simply.

Toshiro let out a long sigh. "Well, I've had enough shock for one day. I didn't need to learn both my sisters were no longer innocent at the same time." He shivered and headed out of the room with Minako trailing after him.

Taka rolled her eyes. "I wish you two the greatest happiness. You deserve one another." She said snidely, before leaving the room as well.

"Taka! Wait!" Vincent called after her, "Now we can get married!" he declared with a wide smile.

Kyo smiled as well. "And so can we!" he declared happily, running over and hugging Satomi tightly.

The elder twin held him at bay with her hand, giving him an angry huff. "What did I say about public displays of affection?"

"That they're not allowed." He said against her palm, pouting slightly. "So what do you say? Will you marry me Satomi?"

"Hm." She pulled away from him and headed towards one of the other doors. "We'll see." She smirked.

"What?" he asked, dumbfounded. "Satomi, wait! How long do we have to see?" he called after her, running out of the room through the same exit the pink haired princess had left from.

Akito returned his gaze to Natsumi. "I need to speak with you." he said softly.

She nodded and followed after him eagerly, not wanting to be in her parent's presence anymore. He took Natsumi to his chambers, and once they were behind his bedroom doors, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately. She kissed him as well, holding nothing back. "Akito…" she moaned against his lips. "I love you Akito."

"I love you too Natsumi." He said, beginning to peel her coat off of her. "I missed you."

"I missed you too." She whispered. "I'm so sorry."

"I was so worried." He began to kiss a trail down her neck as he slowly opened her blouse to have access to her chest.

Natsumi smirked, running her hands up and down his arms. "Don't worry, I was safe."

He revealed her chest and licked one of her perky nipples. "Where did you go?" he sucked the bud into his mouth then, tugging on it with his teeth.

"To see a friend." She took in a sharp breath, threading her fingers through his dark locks. "He was calling for me."

"Someone you met in the west?" he switched to her other breast, palming her first one and massaging it.

She nodded, biting back a moan. "He wants to meet you too…but that will be in due time." She smiled, holding his face with her hands and pulling him back up. "Take me again…my mate."

Akito smiled, kissing her. "Undress for me." he instructed, pulling away from her and beginning to remove his own shirt.

Natsumi blushed. She didn't really understand since he had already taken most of her clothes off by now. But she obliged, doing her best to look as sexy as possible, despite her nerves. Once she was bare and he was too, he took her around the waist and threw her on the bed, making her squeal with delight. He climbed over her, rubbing his sex against hers and growling as he nuzzled her. "I'm going to make it a goal to take you every day." He said, sliding his hand down and rubbing her clit. "My mate."

"I like that goal." She purred, moving against him in eager want.

Feeling that she was wet enough, he entered her easily, beginning quick movements. He moaned, gripping her hip in his hand to have a better hold on her as he slammed into her repeatedly.

She cried out in bliss, arching her back. "Wow." She gasped, panting loudly. "You really, really missed me."

He chuckled. "You have no idea. And Kensei was no help at all." He leaned down and nipped her ear, kissing the side of her neck as he took her.

"Did he miss Tsuin like you missed me?"

"Yes." He told her, rising onto his knees and holding her hips. He lifted her lower half up off the bed and increased the rate with which he was pounding into her. He watched her breasts bounce up and down in time with his thrusts, and smirked. "I will always miss you when we are apart." He groaned.

"Then we will never be apart." Natsumi promised, crying out as the feeling of him ripped through her. "Oh God! Akito!" she moaned, doing her best to thrust against him as she took one of her breasts and tugged at her own nipple.

Akito kept up his quick pace, sweat beading on his chest and back as a result of his efforts. And when he felt Natsumi's release about to happen, he pulled out of her, dropping her hips to the mattress and falling over her. "Not yet my love." He smirked, kissing her. "You must be punished for not saying goodbye." He rolled her over before she could respond and pulled her rear up into the air, entering her from behind and resuming his actions from before.

She whimpered from the torture, having the buildup cover her diminishing one. "Akito please!" she begged, gripping the sheets tightly as they rocked the bed, the headboard smacking against the wall loudly. "Don't be so mean! Let me have your warmth. I love it when you fill me up."

"Who is your master?" he demanded to hear, gripping her hip with one hand and her breast in the other as he pulled her up against his chest. "Say it." he panted in her ear, not stopping his movements.

"You are!" She said all too quickly. "You are my master Akito. I belong to you and no one else!" she cried out, bucking her hips back as she slammed against him, wanting him deeper inside her. "I love you master. I love you, so please make me feel good." She moaned, feeling her insides tighten once more. If he pulled out again, she didn't know what she would do.

Akito smirked into the crook of her neck. "Your cries for mercy have reached my ears," he began to rub her clit as they continued to slam their hips together. "And I shall grant you with the thrilling feel of my seed." He said, pinching her nipple.

"Please…" she whimpered, gyrating her hips to feel his entire length through her whole form. She trembled, feeling a wave of heat burst throughout her. "Oh Akito!" she screamed out, arching against him as her release surrounded him.

He moaned, his movements halting as his sperm shot into her. He continued to rub her clit, causing her to shiver in his hold. And when they were both finished, he pulled out and allowed her to collapse on the bed, lying on his back next to her. A pleased smile made its way to his face. "I love the noises you make." He breathed out, looking over at her.

"Shut up." She panted, absolutely breathless, her back beaded in glistening sweat. "You're mean." She pouted, turning on her side so that her back was to him. She lowered her hand and rubbed her still throbbing clit. She could feel his excess beginning to seep out of her. "If you keep this up, I'll be pregnant in no time."

He rolled closer to her and wrapped his arm around her, holding one of her breasts. "Do you want kids?" he asked, nuzzling her. "I mean, we are supposed to continue the line, after all."

"Not just yet." She giggled. "I'm only sixteen."

"Well…if you keep asking me to come inside of you, the chances of you getting pregnant are going to be high." Akito said, smoothing his hand down her stomach and stroking her trembling folds with his finger. "Especially if our goal is to have sex every day for the rest of our lives."

This made her frown. "But it feels amazing…maybe there's something Haru or Ino can give us to prevent it for a while…I can't afford to be pregnant…not yet." She said somewhat darkly as she stared at the wall.

Akito grew silent, laying against her and holding her close. "I don't know if I'll be a good father." He said after a while.

"And who says I'll be a good mother?" she smirked, though he couldn't see it. "But our babies…they would be powerful."

"Of course they would." He smirked as well. "With our bloodlines combined…and your gifts, they would be a force to be reckoned with."

She nodded and snuggled into him, glancing up. "I love you Akito. So very much…"

He met her beautiful jade eyes. "I love you too Natsumi." He said, moving and kissing her tenderly. "I will love you for the rest of my days."

Natsumi felt her heart soar. She turned in his grasp and wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his chest. She would get to spend the rest of her nights here with Akito, with him forever.
