Chapter 25: Mission Wah?
 
Not much to say here except enjoy! Thanks reviewers!
 
AKEMI'S POV:
 
“NUMBER 15?” screamed the announcer.
 
I sighed. Is this really happening? Seriously? No, really? For real? I mean—.”
 
“YES IT IS!” snapped Sai. “GAWD!”
 
“Okay, sorry,” I thought. “Had to check.”
 
“NUMBER 15—!”
 
I threw a kunai directly at the microphone, instantly breaking it. Then I slowly walked up the stairs to Kakashi as he happily waved to me.
 
“Fuck, enough with the noise,” I snapped.
 
I saw millions of eyes watching me. Some were bewildered, some were disgusted (uh, I'm not THAT ugly), and some were… staring at Kakashi and looking at me at the same time to see if this was really happening.
 
But the thing was this was really happening. Kakashi called my number… probably to stay in the tent… but…
 
Was it really because of that? What if… he really wanted to kiss me? Perverted dork… I don't think he had his mind set on that…
 
But what if he did?
 
“Akemi-chan, I'm glad you came,” said Kakashi, grinning.
 
“Whatever, Whitey,” I muttered. “As long as—.”
 
“NOW NUMBER 15 ENTERED THE STAGE!” yelled the really irritating announcer. “THEY WILL KISS FOR ONE MINUTE—.”
 
I broke the other microphone again with my other kunai.
 
“How many fucking microphones do you have?” I snapped.
 
“Enough?” said the announcer nervously.
 
I sighed.
 
“If you don't kiss him, you'll be cast off the competition,” said the announcer.
 
I bit my lip. What choice did I have? Was it really worth it?
 
“Akemi…” said Sai nervously.
 
I saw Kakashi, who smiled back cheerfully.
 
Why did you choose me Kakashi?
 
Seriously… why?
 
“You have to start now!” said the announcer. “I don't know why you're hesitating; he's the one who should be—.”
 
I punched him squarely on the face. He flew across the room.
 
“HOLD IT, ALRIGHT!” I hissed.
 
“Akemi-chan,” said Kakashi.
 
I looked at him.
 
“Are you really that uncomfortable?” he asked.
 
“I…”
 
I looked at him, he was… worried?
 
What the f—. For what? Oh…
 
“No, I'm—.”
 
“Then why are you hesitating?” he asked.
 
I blinked. What was with him today? Did he really want to kiss me?
 
“Er…”
 
“You know that this isn't personal right?” said Kakashi, smiling again. “This is only because of the mission.”
 
“Uh… ah…”
 
Hmm… kinda felt something bad there. That kinda… hurt…
 
“Right, just for the mission,” I said slowly. I saw Kakashi give me the worried look again.
 
“Hey Akemi-chan, I can call someone else—.”
 
“NO!” I said.
 
Kakashi stared. Everyone stared. I stood frozen.
 
This kind of scene really gets me nervous. NO ONE was talking. Not even a cough erupted.
 
“Uh, I mean,” I said, clearing my throat. “It's okay, I don't mind.”
 
“SO IT'S HANDSOME WITH THE BEAST!” shouted the announcer (Kakashi held me so I would resist my temptation to kill that guy). “OKAY GUYS, ONE MINUTE, START!”
 
I breathed heavily.
 
Okay Akemi, you're first friggin kiss. Wow… first kiss…
 
Just a small peck, or so… It's JUST a kiss! Or is it? YES IT IS! Just one… verb like action sequence people do that makes other people blush… And it's very embarrassing, since it's just a first kiss and all, which would probably change my life forever, kind of.
 
Fuck…
 
“Akemi-chan, ready?” said Kakashi.
 
Wait, then I would finally see Kakashi's face! I didn't think about that!
 
“Uh…”
 
“ARE YOU—?”
 
“SHUT THE HELL UP!” I roared, slamming the announcer dude on the ground with my elbow.
 
“I thought so, she's too embarrassed,” said one girl.
 
I spun around to see the crowd. Are they talking about me? If they weren't and were basically whispering behind my back, they weren't very good at it.
 
“I feel bad for that guy,” said another. “What a waste she is!”
 
Oh my gawd, they are!
 
“I thought she would make that guy faint by the sight of her,” said another guy “I would run and lose rather than kiss her.”
 
What the hell is their problem? Friggin people and their looks… IT'S ALL ABOUT BRAINS!
 
“Akemi-chan—.”
 
“GO HOME YOU BITCH!” said some of the girls, throwing some junk at me.
 
“What the hell is your problem?” I snapped angrily.
 
“Go back to the lame place you came from!”
 
“Stupid girl!”
 
“Lame wench!”
 
“Whore!”
 
“Akemi-chan, don't listen to them!” said Kakashi worriedly.
 
“Girl…”
 
I stared at the angry crowd, but all I heard was a voice, nothing more. I saw Kakashi trying to knock some sense into me, but I just couldn't hear him. I couldn't hear anyone… except…
 
“Girl, aren't they annoying?” said a deep voice.
 
I gulped.
 
“Sai?”
 
“I can help you kill them, if you want me to,” said the deep voice again.
 
“!!!”
 
“Do you want me to?”
 
“You're that… wolf… Gin Urufu?”
 
It chuckled.
 
“Answer my question,” said the wolf.
 
I felt something in me burn. It was like I was deaf; all I heard was the deep growl of that demon wolf.
 
I didn't want to hurt them… but then again I DID want to! I felt my fist clench, my pulse raced, and I sweated.
 
I felt it laugh, a bark like laugh.
 
“Then let's begin…”
 
KAKASHI'S POV:
 
“Akemi-chan, what's wrong with you?” I asked, looking at her. “Akemi-chan?”
 
She was staring at the crowd who continued to yell and scream at her.
 
“Don't listen to them—.”
 
Akemi smiled. Her eyes turned silver.
 
“They should just SHUT UP AND DIE!” she screamed.
 
I heard a faint cry of a wolf. A wolf? People screamed as others were suddenly bleeding. Some were unconscious, but I wasn't so sure. Many were crying out in pain.
 
“Akemi-chan?”
 
She turned to me.
 
“They… should die…”
 
“You're not like this!” I said.
 
There were explosions.
 
BAM! WHAM! ALAKAZAM! (A/N: exaggerating!)
 
People were screaming and were in panic.
 
“Akemi-chan!”
 
She ran towards some people and slashed at them. She had… CLAWS?
 
“Akemi-chan?!”
 
I ran towards her but stopped as I saw two black ninja in the corner of my eye, running away with a woman. Could it be Aname?
 
Rgh…
 
I ran towards Akemi and tried to knock her loose by punching her, but she dodged.
 
I tried again, and now; focusing at me, she tried battling with me. She began trying to claw me, bite me even. This isn't her…
 
Her looks were somewhat wolfish. She had sliver hair and her eyes were also blank and silver. A faint white glow surrounded her, like it was her chakra. She kept repeatedly attacking me, without hesitating. It was that demon…
 
I tried to hug her, trying to knock some sense into her, but she shoved me away and slashed me. I retreated away from the tent, away from the people…
 
As expected, Akemi followed me.
 
“Kakashi-san!” yelled Hatori. “I can't find Aname anywhere!”
 
Those two ninja!
 
“Hold on!” I yelled back, trying to lure Akemi towards me.
 
I ran and spotted a screaming Aname getting carried off by those two black ninja seen earlier. Maybe I can trick Akemi…
 
I started towards the ninja and summoned my dogs to slow them down. Akemi was heavily following suit. The ninja started entering the forest, walking on the trees so swiftly.
 
“Aname-san!” I said.
 
She was desperately crying for help.
 
“HOLD IT!” said Pakkun as it tripped the two ninja by slamming into their feet. Aname was falling. I didn't have enough time to get her, however I saw Hatori catch her on time.
 
I felt Akemi's claws rake my back painfully. She caught up.
 
One of the ninja attacked Akemi. She ran so fast towards that ninja and tore his arm off with her claws. The two retreated.
 
I saw Akemi look at me with blank eyes. There was blood on her hands and some on her face. Blood was oozing from her mouth, but it wasn't hers. I smelled that it was other people's blood soaked on her.
 
“Akemi-chan,” I said hesitantly. “It's me… Whitey-chan…”
 
I approached her cautiously. She responded with an angry growl.
 
“Ew, I knew it,” said Aname. “A monster…”
 
“Akemi…?”
 
“K…K…” she choked.
 
“Akemi-chan!” I said, walking towards her to hug her. “It's me…”
 
She bit my shoulder. I felt my blood run down my arm.
 
“Akemi-san stop!” said Hatori, running towards us.
 
“Wait!” I panted. “Hold on.”
 
She was trying very hard to get away from me, but I gripped her very hard. She wasn't going to get away… She was struggling; it was getting more difficult to restrain her.
 
“Akemi-chan,” I said softly. “I know, this isn't you, you won't hurt me; will you?”
 
I felt her bite weaken.
 
“Ka… Kakashi?” she choked.
 
“It's me,” I said cheerfully.
 
“What the hell happened…?”
 
“It's okay,” I said. I felt her arms around me grow tighter.
 
“I… I didn't mean to,” she whispered. I could tell she's fighting hard not to cry.
 
Her eyes were brown again. I gave her a small pat on the head.
 
“Yo, Kakashi-stupid,” sniffed Akemi. “Do you really think I'm that emo?”
 
“I thought—.”
 
“I'm fine!” said Akemi. I grinned.
 
Hiding your soft spot eh? I wiped some of the blood off her face.
 
“I want to see your pretty face,” I said happily.
 
She looked at me, surprised.
 
“Nah, never mind, I thought it was pretty,” I said.
 
She punched me.
 
“My hero!”
 
Both Akemi and I saw Hatori and Aname looking at each other. Oh wow, they're gonna be together faster than expected… but she ran away from Hatori… towards me…
 
Uh-oh…
 
AKEMI'S POV:
 
“My hero—GAWK!”
 
I pushed her from Kakashi by flicking her face to make her stumble.
 
“Hey!” said Aname. “What—?”
 
“Look, keep your hands on this guy!” I said angrily. “You got Hatori! Anyways, he was the one who saved you! He caught you and broke your fall!”
 
“I really think Kakashi-kun saved me,” she said giggling and giving Kakashi a wink.
 
“Oh please,” I muttered.
 
She wrapped her arms around Kakashi, who just stared at her in disbelief.
 
“Uh…”
 
“I should reward you in some way!” she giggled.
 
Is she a bit loose in the head?
 
“Hey wench,” I hissed. “What the hell do you think—?”
 
Aname tiptoed towards Kakashi's face and kissed him on his cheek. Both Hatori and I were astonished.
 
“WUH?” I said in disbelief.
 
Thirty minutes later…
 
Hard to believe, but the competition was running again even when about thirty people got hurt because of me (they still allowed me in the competition). A ton of people left the competition, however. I think there is only sixteen people left (last time was around one hundred).
 
Kakashi and I persuaded the announcer that we really did kiss and it was for two minutes (great lie eh?). He still allowed me in the competition only because he said we needed an “ugly duckling.”
 
Okay, that pissed me off there so Kakashi had to hold me for thirty minutes while the announcer ran away from me for his life. I still caught up to him and had beaten him within an inch of his life barely hanging on.
 
Kakashi had his own men dormitory and I adjusted to the women's dorm.
 
I sighed as I walked towards my room. I saw Aname there; I guess she was my roommate. Wow, now my life is over.
 
“Hey Akemi-san!” she chirped.
 
“Hey…” I said, turning away. “Loser…”
 
“So that Kakashi… isn't he hot?” she asked. “He's totally for me.”
 
Why is she talking to me? She's getting more irritating than I thought.
 
“Uh, I guess.”
 
“You guess?”
 
“Yeah, it's something you do when you try to estimate the answer,” I said.
 
She looked at her bags, her face cringed.
 
“Maybe we got on the wrong foot,” she said.
 
“Yeah, maybe we did,” I said nastily.
 
“Why are you so harsh?” she snapped.
 
“From the last time I checked, you called me a wench, bitch, and a whore along with those other stupid freaks,” I added angrily. “I wouldn't be talking, Ms. Wannabe Congeniality.”
 
I saw her roll her eyes as she continued unpacking.
 
“I guess you were jealous,” she said.
 
Did she forget the meaning of “shut up” too?
 
“Of what?” I muttered, taking a sip of some REALLY strong tea.
 
“That I kissed Kakashi-san,” she replied.
 
I spitted all that good tea out.
 
“What?” I said, wiping my mouth. “You gotta be kidding me!”
 
“Whatever you say,” she said, getting up. “But Kakashi's mine got that?”
 
She walked towards the door.
 
“Oh, and another thing, monster wench,” she said. “You're not going to win in this contest anyway, who the hell would like you?”
 
I made her trip as she tried going out the door.
 
“Don't mess with me,” I hissed. “You'll regret it.”
 
She turned around, ignored me, and walked out of the door. I sighed.
 
When will this be over?
 
KAKASHI'S POV:
 
I knocked on Akemi's door one night. She has a lot of explaining to do.
 
The door opened.
 
“Akemi—.”
 
“SHH!!” Akemi snapped. “You'll wake the Princess of Shut-Me-Not!”
 
“Oh hey,” I said. “I gotta talk to you.”
 
Twenty minutes later…
 
“You just blanked out?”
 
“Yeah,” said Akemi. “Right when it said `let's begin'.”
 
“Weird.”
 
“Yeah…”
 
“…”
 
Silence is such an awkward thing.
 
“Kakashi-chan.”
 
“Hmm?”
 
“Did I… really hurt you?” she asked.
 
I laughed.
 
“Barely, you were too weak,” I joked.
 
“Whatever…”
 
“Heh.”
 
“But if that happens again,” said Akemi. “I… I want you to—.”
 
“I don't kill off things I was supposed to protect,” I said. “Sorry, but that's the rule.”
 
“Kakashi-chan, promise me,” said Akemi.
 
“…”
 
“Kakashi!”
 
“Okay, alright!” I said, sighing.
 
Akemi looked at the ground.
 
“Did you like her kiss?” she asked.
 
“What?”
 
“That girl, Aname!” said Akemi, angrily.
 
“Are you jealous?
 
“Shut it.”
 
“Well, if you feel so bad…”
 
I kissed Akemi on her cheek. It wasn't exactly a kiss; I still had my mask on. I did give her a small peck though.
 
“Better?” I said, laughing.
 
She blushed.
 
“GAH, GOOD-NIGHT!” she yelled, smacking my head and rushing towards the door.
 
I smiled.
 
“Heh.”
 
AKEMI'S POV:
 
What the fart, Kakashi actually kissed me! That retard… Well it wasn't a kiss really, he still had his mask on, and it didn't count. But still…
 
I couldn't help but smile…
 
The second day was sleep over day. Two people have to sleep in the same room for one whole day. Girls choose first (alphabetical) so I have to choose Kakashi so we can spy Aname and Hatori and hopefully bring them together.
 
I was expecting that my name was to be called (Akemi)…but…
 
“ANAME, NUMBER 51!”
 
“What?” I said, surprised. “But—!”
 
“Number 9!” she said cheerfully.
 
“Akemi-chan, help!” whispered Kakashi eagerly as Aname took him away.
 
What do I do?
 
To be continued…
