Chapter 20 - Akai

Rin tip-toed to the bedroom door and silently closed it before turning back to the bed and undressing herself from the kimono Sukuna had given her.

She undid her clothes and looked at them with a complicated feeling, they had dressed her in basic funeral clothing which seemed to be too tight now.

It felt like her body had grown quite a bit. She didn't know how tall Sukuna was, but she was almost his height.

Sukuna was currently nearly 5'4 (162cm), while she reached 5'1 (155cm). Which was 12 centimeters higher than she was before she died!

It was clear her body had developed in age by a few years. As for why it happened, the only reasonable explanation was because 24 people's Chakra Pathways were fused into one person, so they needed space and increased the aging of her cells until her body fit.

Rin threw herself on the bed as she held an arm over her forehead, 'Even if I wanted to struggle against him, he could just force me too. My body feels like it's alive, the only difference is that I feel like I can't disobey him if he orders to do some weird things....'

Rin's mind started to wander as she went off-topic before her cheeks turned red, Sukuna was everything except ugly. His well-defined body, his shoulder-length hair, his eyes, even his strength was sure to be extremely high considering he was the leader of the Senju's.

'Kushina-san really corrupted my innocent mind!' Rin hid her blushing adwface in the pillows as she closed her eyes to try to sleep as she remembered when Kushina would scold Obito for trying to act manly when he was just a kid and then hammering him on the head.

'Obito.... I will make sure you come back to Konoha' Rin swore internally.

…

''So it succeeded?'' Akai asked in amazement, ''Can I meet her? I want to see it!''

Akai acted all smiles which confused Sukuna who asked why, Akai didn't believe her ears and wanted to strangle him before she said, ''You just defied the law of nature and resurrected someone fully alive! You didn't even face any huge drawbacks from it either!''

''It's still limited to people that had lower Chakra Reserves than me when they were alive, so it's quite limited at the moment'' Sukuna honestly replied.

''But you resurrected her to find the way to the Three Tails, right? What if you include his Chakra?'' Akai asked with a curious expression to which Sukuna shook his head and explained the specifics of the technique.

''I see... But it's still a really amazing, scary even!'' Akai replied honestly as she thought of all the possibilities once he advanced that technique even further. Would he be able to stop the aging of cells or something?

Although she meant that as a joke, Sukuna had been researching Turritopsis dohrnii's, they were a type of Jellyfish that rewind their own cycle of life.

[A/N: Actual facts... Lisa, if you somehow read this. Fy for calling me awake at 4am to tell me this bs when you're drunk]

''Akai, how long will it take you to get everything ready?''

Akai thought for a moment and replied, ''Three weeks, to get all the seals made is going to be an extremely hard and time-consuming task. But who are you going to put it into?''

''Huh? Myself ofcourse'' Sukuna looked at her as if she was stupid to which Akai looked at him for a short moment before replying, ''Absolutely not!''

Sukuna was taken aback by her statement before replying, ''Why?''

''Sealing a Tailed Beast in someone is already risky enough, let alone with your bloodline and Sharingan! It's even riskier!'' Akai firmly responded.

''Which is why I need to do it'' Sukuna replied blandly before he took a sip of his water.

''What do you mean that is why you have to do it?'' Akai asked in confusion to which Sukuna replied,

''I don't have a Mangekyo Sharingan yet, so I can't exactly control it. But at the very least I can come to an agreement with it since I doubt it wants to hide for eternity. That way, nobody else from the Clan has to risk themselves, it's a win win''

Akai gritted her teeth and stood up before pinning Sukuna against the backrest of the couch and said angrily, ''What do you mean nobody else has to! You said we all shared the risk yet you clearly try to get everyone away from the danger! Training the children to become stronger in the clan? Bullsh*t! You just don't want them to risk their lives out there!''

Sukuna looked at Akai above him and answered calmly, ''Akai, this Clan needs a weapon. Otherwise we are screwed''

''Then put the Three Tails inside of me, you can engrave a curse mark on me that I never betray you or the Clan'' Akai coldly responded to which Sukuna just shook his head with a bitter smile.

Akai gritted her teeth and didn't say anything, but Sukuna could feel her hands tremble as he suddenly felt something wet on his cheek.

''Why are you and her so similar.... It's unfair... Neither of you let me protect you, what use am I?'' Akai said with tears trailing down her face.

Sukuna just looked frozen into place as he never saw her cry before, only recently had she shown different expressions than her cold or emotionless face.

He smiled lightly and replied, ''When I killed my parents, I accepted it. I knew that was the only way to make sure the clan was safe, I knew that that was the only way they would shut up and listen. I love the clan, but I did love my parents as well despite them betraying the clan. I mourned their deaths but when I walk through the compound and see all the smiling children, happy couples or retired Shinobi, it makes me want to protect their peace. They are my family, I'm their leader. I have no doubt they would die for me, but I'd rather have the other way around. I.... have lost enough''

Akai looked at him while she wiped her tears as she asked, ''Do you regret it?''

Sukuna smiled lightly as he helped her wipe her tears, ''Never''

''Fool'' Akai laughed lightly as Sukuna nodded, ''Your smile looks indeed better than your crying face''

Akai shook as her eyes squinted, ''Are you saying I look ugly while crying?''

''Looks pretty horrible to me'' Sukuna said with a teasing grin as he suddenly felt his world spin.

Akai threw Sukuna onto another couch as she tried to jump on top of him with force that was enough to atleast push all the air out of his lungs.

As Sukuna saw her flying in, he hastily shifted his position.

Akai landed with her feet on his upper legs as Sukuna hastily turned his legs 45 degrees with all his force to make Akai slide of his thighs.

His thighs were aching from the impact, he gritted his teeth and put one of his arms under her leg while pushing her onto the couch.

Akai felt her back hit the backrest as he leaned his body over her with one of her heels on his shoulders.

Akai didn't hesitate and put her other leg around Sukuna to force him against her body so neither of them could move as she teased, ''And what now brat?''

Sukuna just looked at her as Akai was anticipating his next move, however, he did something she never expected.

He grabbed her chin and pushed his lips against hers.

feeling his kiss, Akai was too taken a back and forgot to struggle for a good ten seconds.

Only after Sukuna's tongue made its way into her mouth did she wake up and tried to push him away. However, Sukuna clearly felt it was a half-assed resistance, so he didn't bother and let go of her leg.

Akai grabbed his shirt as she felt Sukuna put his knees under her thighs as he pinned her against the backrest.

She put her hand through his hair as he stroked her face, the two of them were passionately making out until a shocked yelp came from the stairs.

Akai shook away and accidently bit Sukuna's tongue which caused him to jump back with a teasing grin on his face.

''I...i'm sorry for interrupting!'' Rin hastily said and tried to run away, but Akai was having none of it and fetched her.

The three of them sat at the lounge outside as Rin again apologized, ''I'm sorry for ruining your moment''

Akai blushed and looked away as she failed to keep her emotionless face while Sukuna burst out laughing, ''Don't worry about it, more chances will appear later anyway''

Akai gritted her teeth and looked at Rin, seeing her beauty not faltering against hers made her huff as she said, ''I doubt you will be safe from him either considering his bloodline''

Rin blushed as Sukuna looked at her with a dumbfounded expression as he said, ''Since when am I some kind of pent-up geezer?''

''You have atleast dozens of R18 rated magazines under your old bed where your underwear is, don't act innocent!'' Akai said with a deadpan look.

Rin giggled while Sukuna cursed the memories awakening his curiosity befoore looking at her with even more shock before realizing something,

''Wait.... how do you know where my underwear is in the first place? Did you.....?'' Sukuna gave her a look of 'Don't worry, we are all different'' before continuing,

''Akai, I didn't know you had such weird fetishes.... It's okay, I love you regardless!'' Sukuna said in a dramatic way as if he found out a big secret which made Rin hide her face in a pillow as she was holding her laugh while Akai didn't hide behind a pillow but threw one at full force instead with a beet red face.

Sukuna just took the pillow to his face and nodded, ''Being shameless is truly fun sometimes''

''If this is how you act when you are happy than I'm scared for the future'' Akai said with a deadpan look.

Rin on the other hand felt that her fear was misplaced when she saw those two. However, her face replayed the previous seen which nearly made steam come from her red face.

''Says the woman that was grinding her hips on my legs not even ten minutes ago'' Sukuna teased with a shit-eating grin which made Akai want to hit his face.

''You little!-'' Akai wanted to curse at him but Sumure came crashing in at a breath-taking speed with a flustered expression and an excited expression.

Rin and tried to hide but Sukuna told her to stay, Akai and Sukuna looked at him curiously as Sukuna asked what was wrong.

However, when Sumure arrived behind Sukuna, he smelled something before a grin appeared on his face as he said, ''Good job, do it safe though!''

Sukuna had a flash of realization as his shit-eating grin as he gave Sumure nod. Akai felt a headache coming as she saw the two acting like some kind of perverts.

''To bring you some more good news, your plan worked. As you predicted, two people dressed in the clothes you mentioned were found in the village around the Nine Tails. We notified the 3 Jonin-Sensei's you mentioned as well and they are now fighting the two Shinobi in the wheat fields outside the village with Satori'' Sumure said with pride as Sukuna nodded with a grin on his face.

''Akai, I need you to take Rin without anyone seeing either of you until I drag Itachi somewhere with Sumure's help. Tell Satori to stay close by Sasuke's side, close enough to strike him even'' Sukuna said with a maddened grin as he got up, he didn't bother to change his clothing as he disappeared, leaving the stunned Akai and Rin behind who had no idea what was going on.

Sumure gave Akai one last approving nod before disappearing as well which made her curse him under her breath as she looked at Rin and said, ''It seems that brat planned something again''

Rin looked at her with a confused expression before Akai suddenly put her over her shoulder and dashed towards where Sukuna went, causing Rin to let out a yelp as she felt the wind streak past her face.
