AKEMI'S POV:

DAY TWO CONTINUED…

Why do they want me? What the…?

“Don't just stand there, smart one,” said Sai angrily. “Run!”

Gotcha…

I ran my ass off toward Konoha… geez, why'd I have to travel so far away from Konoha?

I heard the ninja following me. Dammit…

I heard Whitey silently running by my side. Whitey sure is specially trained…

We were almost there… almost about… okay three hundred feet… just kidding… we were almost there… but…

The ninja came in front of us.

… Not quite…

“Just come with us little girl, nice and easy…” said the leader ninja, wielding a kunai.

“What if I refuse?” I said cautiously, doing the same.

The weapon equipped ninja attacked me. I dodged it just in time.

WTF? He didn't even answer my freakin' question, that's really MESSED!

Whitey bit the other dude's foot angrily. The ninja growled in pain.

“Come on!” I said to Whitey. It tried to follow…

… But it went straight for my face.

Oh my gawd… more dog slobber…?

A kunai stabbed Whitey on the back… exactly where my face would've been. That motion is ODDLY familiar... hmm...

It whined again and I caught it, ignoring my fear.

“Shit… Whitey-chan!” I said. “Hold on boy!”

I ran as fast as I could toward the Konoha gates.

“Hold on… hold on…” I said, panting, taking out the kunai from Whitey's back.

What the… Whitey had a scar on his left eye… how'd he get that? I don't think I saw it before because its face fur was blocking out the scar.

“You… could've told me earlier that you had a hard time too…” I said sadly.

White Fang looked at me, panting happily. It was almost… like it was... smiling at me…

Seeing a white furred puppy Labrador is pretty cute… especially when it's smiling at you… or... I thought it was smiling at me.

I'm… actually moved by it…

One of the ninja tackled me.

“ARGH!” I said angrily. I crashed toward the floor… White Fang was skidding on the ground.

I tried getting up again, but the ninja stuck his leg on my back, preventing me from getting up.

“I said… it would've been easy…” said the ninja. “But I guess you took the hard way…”

I heard Whitey growl. He tried to fend off the ninja… but then…

He kicked Whitey…

I was shocked.

I mean… I kicked Whitey a couple of times, but it was really soft kicks (seriously!). I didn't mean to REALLY abuse Whitey but…

I don't know what's going on with me… I felt…

… pissed.

I heard Whitey sail a couple of inches away from me, whining in pain.

I grabbed the ninja's foot from behind my back.

“You son of a bitch…” I snarled. “No one hurts my dog… but me…”

“That's such a good point…” said Sai sarcastically.

I flipped the ninja off my back. Anger was boiling inside me... but just for a dog? I thought it was...

I threw more kunai on him, but he used substitution…

“If that's how you're gonna play it…” I said.

One of the ninja flung one of his shikuren at me.

“Kage Bushin no Jutsu!” I said, doing some hand signs. (Shadow Replication)

Fifty of me was made. He did the shadow replication as well.

We fought each other until only the real us was left. Gawd... where'd my fighting skills gone off to when I had beaten up Kakashi before...was it because he let down his guard?

That's just great...

I panted heavily... heheh... finally I get to beat someone up REAL bad... erm, apart from Sasuke...

He threw more kunai at me.

"Kawarimi no Jutsu!" I said quickly. (Body Substitution Technique)

My hands were quick.

A substitution of me was hit and I hid myself in a bush.

Where was the other ninja?

Shit! He knew where I was.

"K-!"

"Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu!" I said quickly. (Fire Element: Dragon Fire Technique)

Thanks, Sasuke... for teaching me this...

I blew fire at the dude. It was a critical hit.

Well... I thought it was.

The guy punched my stomach. I staggered back.

Oh HELL no!

I punched him. Then I tried to punch him again, but he caught my fist.

"Won't work if you're too slow..." said the ninja.

"Oh yeah?"

I tried punching him with my other fist, but he caught that one too.

That doesn't mean I won't give in.

I head butted him, and then, while he was getting loose, I kicked his stomach.

Before he reacted… The lightning chakra was already formed in my hands.

“CHIDORI!” I yelled, attacking the ninja with my special attack. (Lightning Edge)

It can also mean Raikiri, or a Thousand Birds.

He dodged, but not close enough.

His wound was almost severe… I got him now…

The other ninja held me from behind.

“What the…?”

"Kanashibari no Jutsu!" said the wounded ninja. (Body Freeze Skill)

Dammit! It was a trap! I couldn't move...

“I guess we'll have to take you in dead…” said the wounded ninja, spitting blood at my face. “We don't have a choice…”

The other ninja agreed.

Dammit… is this how I'm going to die?

In a swift moment… so fast… I saw a white blur, which immediately attacked the ninja. There was smoke, because probably the ninja tried to attacking with an advantage.

I felt the ninja behind me released me.

I searched for Whitey and found him… sitting down. I softly grabbed him. The wound wasn't bad… and it didn't look like he broke any bones. It was still panting happily I was relieved.

The smoke cleared after a few seconds. The two ninja were passed out.

From the fray was…

Kakashi.

“Kakashi-chan?” I said. “What are you…?”

“Sorry I didn't come sooner, but I wanted to check on you,” said Kakashi. “I saw Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto… but I couldn't find you anywhere…”

“Oh…” I said. “Well… now I'm here…”

A moment of silence… He gave me a cloth and I took it, wiping my face...

"Thanks..." I said.

"Are you okay?" asked Kakashi.

Apart from my cut cheek, lip, and a bruised stomach... yeah, I'm doing just GREAT...

Feeling a bit awkward here… I nodded...

"You sure?"

"Mm-hmm..."

“Erm…”

My eyes trailed toward Kakashi's eye… his left eye…

… The one which was mostly covered by his forehead protector. I've been wondering about that…

It had a horrible scar… and it was closed.

“Dude…” I said, leaning close to him. “What happened to you?”

“Ah… it's nothing…” said Kakashi hastily, trying to cover his eye.

I shooed his hand away (my left hand was holding Whitey) and examined his eye.

“Did the ninja…?”

He opened his left eye.

“HOLY MOTHER FUCKER (a BIG cuss word, heheh)!” I cried out. “WHAT THE HELL'S THAT!”

“Oh…” said Kakashi, closing his eye and smiling at me. “It's just…”

“You've probably been poisoned!” I said; a little worried. “Or cursed… no wonder your eyes are weird… or your hairs messed up… you're turning into a monster… that's probably why you wear a mask too… your face is…!”

“I'm fine and… hey!” said Kakashi, cutting in. “My hair's perfectly normal, and that goes for the face too, thank you very much!”

“Yeah…” I muttered sarcastically. “Sure… uh-huh…”

Kakashi explained to me about his “Sharingan” eye. He covered his eye with his forehead protector. I think he might've mentioned it to me before... I forgot, I think...

“Ohhhh….” I said, nodding. “I see… but that doesn't explain your hair or your face…”

Kakashi ignored me and carefully took White Fang from my arms.

“Is he okay?” asked Kakashi.

White Fang's wound wasn't severe… but…

“Hey!”

I slightly jumped.

“Wh… what?” I said anxiously. “What is it?”

“What happened to his eye?” said Kakashi, examining the puppy's face.

Huh… I thought he knew about it.

“I didn't do anything… I swear…” I said. “He… he had that already…”

Kakashi ignored me again… he didn't believe me…

“Are you still afraid of him?”

I blinked. Of… of course I was… but I think… the load has lightened…

I stood silent.

“He's not that bad…” said Kakashi, petting it. “C'mon… why don't you pet him?”

I shrugged stupidly.

Kakashi grabbed my hand and made it firmly stroke White Fang's back. I don't think White Fang liked it as much as I did.

“See…” said Kakashi. “Isn't that nice?”

“Not if you're making me…” I said angrily.

He loosened his grip…

I didn't have that tension again… the one with sweaty palms and rapid heartbeats... the only with phobias. I was… okay…

I guess it was sort of nice. White Fang had his happy face on.

Kakashi was still holding my hand though. I blushed immensely…

Wha…? Why are you blushing, stupid Akemi? It… it's just… it's just nothing…!

“What's wrong?” asked Kakashi.

“Must you say something at any time?” I snapped.

“O… kay…” said Kakashi, a little hurt. “You don't have to bite my head off…”

“S… sorry…” I said, blushing furiously. What's wrong with me?

“It's okay…”

It's rare for me to apologize… sorta… actually...

His hand was still holding mines.

“OKAY!” I shouted, flinging my hand off Whitey fur and Kakashi's hand, “I… I gotta go and do my mission remember?”

“O… okay…” said Kakashi.

Geez… I'm a freak…

“GOTTA GO!” I roared (I'm blowing Kakashi away by now…) “WE GOTTA GO HOME, WHITE FANG'S PRETTY HUNGRY, AREN'CHA BOY?”

White Fang backed away from me, apparently frightened.

“What's wrong Whitey?” I said, my voice was strange. “C'mon…”

It started whining when I pulled on its leash.

“What if that was me?” asked Kakashi, grabbing the leash away from me.

“Then I would've pulled harder…” I hissed, taking back the leash.

“You're one hell of a psychopath…” said Sai.

“Anyways…” I said. “Thanks for saving me, Kakashi-chan… but I really have to go!”

I ran away with White Fang, leaving Kakashi behind with our dust.

I looked at the sky. Whoa… it was dark already…

I yawned. Boy… I'm tired.

We arrived at my apartment (or Naruto's apartment). I took out the leash from Whitey's neck… what was weird was that I wasn't afraid of it anymore…

We ate dinner… and we were complete savages. I competed with White Fang on rock-paper-scissors to see who'll do the dishes. I lost… man, why do I suck so badly? If you're thinking why I lost to a dog... I... it... IT CHEATED ALRIGHT! LAY OFF ME!

I bathed Whitey… he didn't seem to mind, and took one myself. Then I took care of Whitey's wound… and mines... he was going to be okay…

Night time came to a stop. I think it was midnight already…

I lay comfortably on my soft bed. Naruto didn't come back… so maybe he was still out training.

I sighed. It was a happy sigh. Tomorrow was going to the last day I take care of this dog. I got a strange feeling… I was sorta sad… I didn't know why…

White Fang jumped on my bed, but I didn't push it away this time.

“C'mere boy…” I said, hugging the dog closer to me. “Since it's your last night…”

It snuggled closer to me with great comfort, closing its eyes and sleeping. It actually looked really adorable.

I petted it a few times… very softly.

“Thanks for saving me Whitey…” I said. “Thanks a lot…”

I examined the scar on Whitey's left eye. It was cut exactly how Kakashi's eye was cut. For a moment there I thought Whitey was Kakashi.

But that's so… fetch (just kidding… I mean stupid).

Kakashi was with Whitey and me the whole time…

Weird…

Maybe… they're connected or something… and me… being near Whitey...

I blushed again.

I was happy my dog phobia was completely gone. I smiled and snuggled more closer to Whitey.

“Hmm… Whitey-chan…” I said. “Sounds like a good nickname… you think Kakashi-chan would like the name `Whitey-chan', Whitey?”

The puppy was fast asleep.

“It sounds good…” I whispered. “Whitey-chan…”

Now… for the river of death…

Or “Sunshine Konoha Happy Water Haven”.

That was what it was really called…

Sigh…

DAY THREE: AT THE RIVER

I heard a howl… of an animal. What the hell?

“Sai?” I said. “Sai, are you there?”

She didn't respond.

Everywhere was dark… I was getting nervous…

Something grabbed my leg.

“Shit!” I said, trying to wrench my leg away.

It was a… bloody arm. It belonged to my brother.

“Help me sis…” he said hoarsely. “Please…”

His face was ruined… like one of those zombies from “Resident Evil”. I backed away… My dad was also right next to him.

He was pretty beat up as well.

“Wha… what happened?” I said. My voice was almost gone… it was barely like a whisper.

“It was because of you…” said my dad. They, my brother and my dad, rose up together. They started to go towards me.

“S… stay away!” I said. They were looming closer.

Was it my fault that they were killed? It wasn't my fault, was it?

Then… somehow… they fused together… into a…

… A beast…

It was four-legged. It's fur was silver, but I couldn't tell what kind of animal it was. It's eyes were also silver… it was FREAKIN' big…

I tried running away… but the thing came closer and closer…

Voices banged in my head… and the closer the thing came, the louder it got.

Your fault… Your fault… Your fault… Your fault… YOUR FAULT… YOUR FAULT…YOUR FAULT…!

The voices were literally shrieking in my head.

I couldn't run…. Why couldn't I run?

Dammit! Why can't I get away?

“Stop…”

Your fault… your fault… your fault… your fault… your fault…

“Please…”

“Akemi?” said a voice.

“Sai?”

Your fault… your fault…YOUR FAULT… YOUR FAULT… YOUR FAULT…!

“DAMMIT!” I screamed. “STOP IT!”

“AKEMI?”

I gasped in pain, my eyelids felt heavy… I didn't open them…

“Akemi… what's wrong?” asked Sai.

“It… it's nothing…”

That dream… why did it come to me now? It's sort of pissing me off… and freaking me out too…

“I thought you were my conscious…” I thought.

“Your mind is your mind alone…” said Sai. “I may be able to talk to you and everything… but sometimes I cannot enter everything in your memory or mind… or dreams..."

I shifted in my bed… my eyes still closed.

“I seriously need a savior…” I said. “My nightmares piss me off…”

“Are you thinking about Kakashi?”

“N…no…” I said.

Why should I think about Kakashi?

I mean… he's sort of handsome (okay... h...he's hot) and everything… but that doesn't mean anything…

And he smells good too… and he's exactly what a girl wants… but… no way am I falling for him…

Sigh… I just gave it all away, didn't I?

“Remember what I told you…” warned Sai.

“Yeah, yeah…” I said. “Don't fall in love with a hunk… I mean, chump…”

“Sure you won't fall for him…” said Sai. “Don't think about him too much… your affections for him are increasing…”

“Like that'll happen…” I said.

“I know… I've already told you… it already happened…” asked Sai.“You really are that smart... aren't you?”

“Shut-up…”

I shifted in my bed again to find White Fang. Where was he?

Maybe I accidentally slept on him, crushing him to death. Sad… but funny if you think about it…

For a minute there… (While I was trying to find that little squirt) I felt skin…

Like… human skin…

What the…?

I pooped my eyes open.

But next to me was only White Fang, still cuddled next to me and still sleeping. The blinds were filled with light… it must've been morning…

That was… strange… what did I feel before?

“You thought about Kakashi again, didn't you?” said Sai. “Just admit it…”

“No…!” I thought.“Rgh… forget it…”

To tell you the truth… I did think about Kakashi.

To be continued…

Hmm… Akemi might FALL IN LOVE! MUAHAHAHA! YOU NEVER KNOW! Anywho… Akemi… is a little confused with her heart… is she? (shrug) Maybe… one day… Anyways… I want to thank all of the readers and reviewers again! THANK YOU! You guys rock like H-E-double hockey sticks… hehe… please review!
