Chapter Seventeen
Rainy Days

Naruto sighed, arms crossed and chin resting within, watching the rain blur the windows vision. Iruka, whom he'd finally been able to look at after about a week or so, was cooking something that smelled heavenly. He could hear Iruka from the kitchen, and trying to, what Naruto was guessing as, fighting off Kakashi's advances.

Iruka always knew it. Naruto always knew it. Hell, all of Konoha and possibly all the world, knew it. Kakashi was a pervert. It was like that Give a Mouse a Cupcake or something like that. Give Kakashi a piece, and he wants it all. Of course, Iruka didn't mind much, except when he was trying to cook, clean, work and in the presence of Naruto.

"Dinners almost ready! Kakashi, down boy!"Iruka stated. Kakashi's lecherous grins came to picture in Naruto's mind, and the shuddering image of him caressing Iruka was only confirmed as truth when Iruka squeaked and the sound of Iruka slapping Kakashi's perverted hands were heard.

"Come and get it!"Iruka called out. "GAH! No Kakashi, I meant dinner!"

Naruto decided to save Iruka by entering the room. Deciding that they would try their hardest NOT to scar the poor blond anymore, they quit all that they were doing, well what Kakashi was doing to Iruka anyways, and sat down to eat.

"Is something bothering you Naruto?"asked Iruka, swallowing down a piece of pork. Concern lit his face.

"Is it guy trouble?"Kakashi crinkled his eye.

"Possibly,"Naruto replied.

"What's the problem?"asked Iruka.

Naruto shook his head. "I can't say. It's my problem, I have to deal with it."

"Very well,"Iruka smiled although still conerned.

"Oy, Iruka-chan, Naruto is a big boy now, think we should give him the talk?"Kakashi asked jokingly, emphazising his point by rubbing the inner thigh of Iruka. The dolphin attempted to give his lover a glare, but nothing seemed to affect the silver haired jounin.

Naruto choked on his pork, and Iruka spit out his drink.

"Kakashi!"they both argued.

"Gah! So cute! They should make a plushie out of you!"Kakashi smiled.

"Ignore him, Naruto,"Iruka stated. "Look, no matter what, choose what you want. Your heart will never let you down."

The smile on Iruka's face was confident and sure, so of course Naruto would trust it.

"Thank you Iruka. Oh...Iruka, what's wrong?"

The red faced Iruka merely squeaked.

"I think the dolphin is tired,"Kakashi grinned.

"I think the scarecrow has his hands in places where they don't belong,"Naruto grumbled with a smile.

"Hello, Sasuke-san,"greeted Yuri, a shawl wrapped around her shoulders, as the woman ran her and through her gentle curls and overcasting bangs.

Sasuke had been visiting non-stop to Akina for the past week that had passed. Sasuke opened the door for Yuri, who walked inside holding a vase of orchids. She smiled and walked inside only to gasp sharply and drop the vase.

"Oh my gods!"Yuri gasped, ignoring the fallen orchids and rushing to the side of Akina.

Sasuke looked in quickly and noticed something that made his eyes tear.

She was awake.

Her eyes were half lidded and she sat up in her bed eating a bowl of soup. Beside her was Tsunade, her parents and the doctor.

"Morning Uchiha-sensei,"she smiled a toothy grin, bruises still lightly framing her face. A bandage was wrapped around her head, fresh by the looks of it. "Morning Yuri-san."

"Na-chan,"Yuris eyes teared up as she held a hand to her mouth. "Oh Na-chan! She threw herself onto the bed and hugged Akina.

"Akina,"Sasuke whispered. "You're awake."

"I'm suprised as well. Her wounds have healed quite well. We would've guessed her coma to last one month at the least, not one week. And she's already sitting up. It's almost as if she merely broke a leg,"the doctor replied.

Sasuke looked over at Yuri and smiled. He knew the reason for why she recovered so quickly.

"If you don't mind,"Tsunade cut in, "I would like to ask Akina a few questions."

Seto and Suzuki Hazumi nodded, following the doctor out. Yuri hugged Akina and whispered something in her ear before leaving. Sasuke was about to leave when Tsunade commanded him not to.

"Stay Sasuke,"Tsunade said. She turned to Akina. "I'm glad to see your recovery Akina. But I need to ask you if you remember anything from when you were attacked."

Akinas gaze darkened, as she lowered her head. She clentched the bedsheets and Sasuke could feel his heart tear in two as her body lightly quivered and two tear drops fell onto her hands.

"I tried to be strong, Hokage-sama. I remember everything,"Akina whispered.

"Who did this to you?"Sasuke demanded to know.

"Their headbands didn't reveal any village I've ever known. It didn't hold the symbol, but a kanji,"Akina replied.

"What kanji?"Tsunade asked.

"Oni. Demon,"Akina whispered. Tsunade's glance hardened.

"What happened next?"Sasuke asked.

"They wanted someone. Someone very close to me. Someone who I cared for very much. They wanted to use me to get to him. They could've killed me, but I was strong, Uchiha-sensei. I was strong...Sasuke,"Akina cried.

"You were very strong,"Sasuke replied, wiping a tear from his eye.

"Who did they want, Akina?"Tsunade asked.

"I never told them a thing, and they began to beat me, and torture me. I finally blacked out, I thought I was dead but then, I swear to the Gods, I refused to let them take me,"Akina slammed her fist hard onto the bed.

"Akina, who did they want?"Sasuke asked.

"Uchiha-sensei, they wanted you."
