La Valse d'Akira (Coco)

Akira didn't seem to mind the heat that his tea emitted, drinking the scalding hot herbal infusion straight up before he placed his mug back on the coffee table to listen to Coco talk. He was happy to hear that she enjoyed the tea he made at least. He knew nothing about tea really so he kinda just bought whatever looked good at the herbal shop.

Akira's eyes widened when he heard of Amegakure's destruction. He knew that was her home village and in a way felt kind of worried for her. "Are your parents alright, at least?" He asked, a sad expression covering his face. He felt even sadder once she said that this could be their last moments together. Akira pulled her into another hug, holding her close to him. "I have to leave too. I understand." He admitted, not mentioning anything about his family however. Infact, she was probably feeling really sad so he felt he shouldn't say much anyway. She probably lost people she knew and cared about.

"I don't know." She whispered pressing her head against Akira's chest, and letting a single tear of sorry flow down her cheek. "I've only heard that it's been destroyed from a Refugee. I haven't heard from my mom or dad. Or even Li." Her sorrow felt bottomless and infinite. Like she was hanging from a cliff, over an endless abyss. The only thing keeping her from falling in was a strong tree branch jutting out from the side of the cliff. A branch named Akira.

Akira looked sad, he knew how it felt to have his village destroyed behind him. She even felt the uncertainty that she felt about her parents still being alive. Akira didn't really have much to say, it was pointless saying "It'll be alright." Cause it wouldn't, not even he knew that. "I'm so sorry..." Akira simply spoke to her, holding her in his warm, comforting embrace. There wasn't really anything he could do apart from be a good boyfriend and let her vent to him and try his best to comfort her. "Your parents may still be alive if they're not listed on the obituaries." He reassured her, all might not have been lost in her village's destruction, of course she was still going to be immensely sad about it though.  

He loosened the grip of his hug on her to wipe her tears with his thumb and to give her a smile. "I'm glad you came to me, however. I know how it feels to lose your village." He sighed empathetically, what a mess. So that settled it then, he was gonna devote this whole evening to make sure Coco didn't have to deal with the pain of losing her village alone. She had her man to look after her now. "Y'know, through thick and thin and whatever happens, I'm always here for you, okay?" He whispered into her ear, giving her another hug.

(Soooo sorry didn't see that you posted!)

Coco nodded meekly still holding her head against her boyfriends chest. It was good knowing that no matter what happened Akira would be there to pick her up. She wondered what he meant when he mentioned that'd he'd lost a village as well. Well she didn't really wonder what he meant, it was a pretty clear statement, but she did want to know the story behind it. She knew that Akira wasn't from Kumo, the accent gave it away, just as hers did. The two of them almost seemed destined to find each other, in a completely foreign land. She just didn't know that his village had been destroyed too. It seemed terrible that so many people had lost their homes recently. Though how cut up about it could she be, when it'd brought the two of them together. How could something so obviously evil bring something so good into the world?

Oh the world had suddenly become incredibly complex and she didn't want to know what to think about it.

The conversation diverged some what the two of them hoping to tread into somewhat lighter subject. Then again just about anything would have been lighter than what they'd just been talking about eh? They giggled and smiled, and shared sad looks now and again. It was the type of thing that made Akira her favorite person in the world. Still in the back of her mind she couldn't shake the idea.

Maybe they were important. Maybe they were vital. The Universe just had to see the two of them be together. For whatever reason they had to be, had to love, and be loved by one another. Everything that'd happened to them seemed so pointless. Why would people destroy Ame? What had Ame done, ever? It all seemed so meaningless and evil to be without a purpose. Perhaps the meaning of all of it. Absolutely all of it, was to send Akira and Coco crashing in together. Was it silly? Yes. Was it completely conceded? Without a doubt! Was it wrong? No way.

The world was dark and without purpose, but when she was with him there was a sun in the sky. A light on the horizon. Her life had been nothing but clouds, and rain until she'd met him. Now that she was by his side she could finally see that sun rising on the Horizon. She didn't know what it was or where it was going. But she could see it's flare, and feel it's warmth. Akira had brought out the sun in her life, and together they would bring the sun out to the world.

Right now as she sat curled up with him, sipping tea, and chatting way. Right now as her home sat in ruins, and for all she knew so did his. Right now even as the villain's who'd destroyed both still walked the earth. Right now she could feel the sun glowing inside of her, and as long as she was Akira she knew that that light wouldn't fade.

Wait a second! Had he said that he was leaving too? "Where you going?" She asked suddenly.

It was rather strange how fate brought them together, what were the odds that two people from completely different villages both met the same fate and then became acquainted in the same refuge? It was all very weird, as if some higher being had the whole relationship between the two scripted. They both weren't from Kumo, how could people who hailed from lands so far away meet in such a manner? He didn't know, nor did he really care. What was important was that he was with Coco, and he enjoyed every minute of it.

He continued to talk to her and enjoy his tea, really trying his best to make sure she wasn't so down, this included everything from sharing stories to cracking a few jokes about his old village and even spending a few moments of sadness with eachother.

Eventually Coco had to ask the question. Akira lowered his eyes and smiled lightly. "I'm going to the Abyss Village...That's where my family is." He simply responded, happy that he had finally found the location of his kin, but sad at the fact he'd have to leave a village he grew to love - and also the woman he loved.

But he promised himself that he wouldn't let Coco be alone for too long. If she was returning to a land full of clouds and rain, Akira would be the wind to clear the gloomy skies and bring sunlight and good harvests to the village. The world was mean and unjust, sure. But he wanted to help usher a new dawn for her village. He obviously didn't know how long he'd go without seeing Coco, but as soon as he finished meeting his other clan members, he was going to find her and give Ame its' first taste of sunlight.

[I like that as an ending, so unless ya stop me...... Exit!]

[Actually if we're going to do this let's do it!]

Coco had bid Akira farewell for possibly the last time.
And as she found herself traveling back to her single room apartment in the white snow she suddenly felt alone. Not knowing if this was the last time she'd be seeing him or not.

She sighed as she stood in the snow. Feeling the frozen rain fall gently on top of her. "Ah Darn you Akira!" She screamed over the mountain tops of the Country.

An hour or so after Coco had Left she was Back at his temple knocking on his door again.


When Akira opened up his door He'd find Coco in a heavy winter jacket, and of course her rain boots. The snow was whipping wildly around the area, and the snow was piled up quite high. She greet him with a shy, and incredibly coy smile. A porcelain skin was flushed, not only from the cold of the snow but from the joy of being in his presence. "No Words." She breathed, unzipping her Heavy Winter jacket and letting it fall to the ground. Underneath she was only wearing a Sleeping Kimono. Black silk decorated by red roses. It was totally skimpy, and no other person on planet earth had ever seen her wearing anything like it. She struck an shy pose, trying her best to look like a sexy vixen.

She cringed for a second as the chilling winds blew over her form. For the first time in a long time she felt the outside air touch the exposed skin of her body. She had to bite her lip to keep from shivering. "Ahem" She announced regaining her composure. "Men only mess things up. That's what I always thought. And now that I've met you, I know that I was right. You've ruined me you big dummy. I was a hardened killer before I met you, now look at me?" She brought the back of her hand up to her forehead and struck a dramatic pose. "I'm wearing skimpy outfits and blushing like some idiot." She shrugged and made her move towards him. "So lover boy, you think you can do that to me, then just walk out of my life? Well that's just fine." With that she slid her Kimono off of her shoulders, and let it fall to the ground. She placed her hands onto his shoulders, and forced him down onto his knees. With a coy wink she gave him a smile. "But fair is fair, let me change you too and we'll call is square."

Akira waved Coco off at his doorstep, watching her walk out of the temple complex and what could be his life as a whole. Would he ever see the woman who stole his heart again? Someone he felt so attached to? He didn't know, but all he knew was that he could feel the sadness well up within him at the thought of him never seeing her again. Of course - it was a thing that happened but he had really fallen for her in the few weeks that the two were together. 

Akira saw her march off out of sight, with that he let out a heavy sigh and shut the door behind him. He was contemplating getting drunk tonight. He sniffled once and took a seat back down on the couch. He didn't cry or anything, but a few tears slid freely down his cheeks. He never really cried much, he shed enough tears at the loss of his family before. But this was the first time in a while that he was graced with the fluids of sadness.

He laid back onto the couch, his mind buzzing with thoughts, not about his family, not about himself - but about Coco. The one he felt he let slip. The tears fell a bit harder, his teeth clenched to fight them, he fell sideways onto the couch, burying his face into the pillow. The tears accompanying him through a nap induced by regret and emotion. 

He woke to the sound of knocking 30 minutes later. He figured it was Coco, but he didn't know why she was back. 

"...Hey...Did you forget someth-" He spoke meekly, happy to see her again but he was half expecting her to just grab something and then leave but she was insistant with "No words." right now. Usually Akira wouldn't accept this kinda chat from a student but...She was his girlfriend. "U-Uh..." He weakly and instinctively mumbled once she had silenced him. And then she seemed to go on in a massive speech, he stood there - eyes wide. Definitely not expecting this kind of thing from her. He had nothing to say, no classic Akira wisecracks. But it was definitely certain that Coco wasn't hit to pick up something she forgot. She was here for something else: His love...Aaaaand probably something else that wouldn't be PG-13. 

He still looked very puzzled when she shrugged off her jacket. "What was she doing!? It was cold out there!" Was one of his first thoughts.

 "N-No I..." He responded to her question - He didn't want to walk out of her life, obviously not thinking it was a rhetorical question so he was interrupted immediately as she continued her little speech. But what he didn't expect was her to remove that kimono entirely. To see her completely bare like that all of a sudden caused his cheeks to flush a deep red - more than she had ever witnessed before. Then he realized...He was gonna get some action! But it seemed she was very, very direct about how she was getting it. He didn't even have time to let her come in and shut the door behind her before he was forced to his knees by Coco. She was a cute girl with a lithe frame. But damn she was strong when she wanted to be.

He knew what position he was in, a virgin he may be. But he had a pretty good idea about what he had to do. And he knew his duties for the night. But she wanted to change him and he was welcoming it. The door was wide open however! And that did bother him slightly, but hardly anyone went down this road. And he was way too lost in the heat of the moment to care. Looked like he was in for a makeout session, but not involving the lips on her face. He looked shocked, but he succumbed to her will.

"mmm." Coco shivered partly from the cold and partly from Akira. She bit her lip and let her eyes roll upwards, a moan escaping her lips. From there the camera pans upwards and shows the snow falling upon the moonlit sky. And of course there is the sound of ecstasy as the sky starts to lighten and transform from the nighttime sky to the morning sky.

The camera pans down once more and we can see the nighttime sky through Akira's bedroom Window. From there we spot Akira and Coco snuggled together under his covers. Coco was still soundly asleep, sleeping deeper than she'd even dreamed before.

Akira closed his eyes and prepared to give her all of his love. And as the world seemed to fade to black, Akira found himself exhausted from the effort. How long were they at it last night? In any case his body felt heavy and his muscles burned - his eyes slowly flickering open from tiredness.

His first sight, a very naked Coco cuddled up to him. Not the worst way to start a morning, he too however was pretty stark naked. He let out a bit of a groan as he rubbed his eyes open, the birds singing as dawn broke over Kumogakure. "M-Mmh..." He mumbled sleepily - closing his eyes once more and nuzzling into the neck the black haired lover he had spent the night with. His arms pulling her close to him longingly. Well, that was definitely something he hadn't experienced before. If she was here to change him, that was definitely an interesting way of going about it. He felt like he'd done an intense workout - infact he thought he did pretty good to KO a Coco usually full of energy. Seemed as if he was destined to be the Senpai Supreme.
