Three months later
Shinku's Pov~
Hey. My name's Shinku Shihouin, a 20 year old Shinobi. I woke up one day with no recollection of my past or where I was. All I knew was that I was so... empty. So... lost. Then I met her, Akame Uzumaki, my fiance.
"🎵In the vastness of this world, I found my guiding star. A love so pure and true nothing can keep us far. With every beat of my heart, you're the melody in my soul, a symphony of passion, our love, it takes control."
In Akame's family mansion, my baritone voice filled my bedroom as i held my entire body up in a handstand position to do push-ups. Dressed in nothing but a pair of pants, leaving my well-defined muscles on full display along with several black chain tattoos.
"🎵You're the rhythm to my rhyme, the lyrics to my song, together we're a masterpiece, where we both belong. In your arms, I find my solace, a love that's so divine. Our souls entwined forever, till the end of time."
It's been three months since I've lost my memories, and during these months, my lovely fiance Akame has helped me relearn the way of Shinobi.
Though, it's only her. Her mother hates my guts, and since I have no memories, I also have no idea why. Then there's her aunt, who seems to become so enraged whenever she sees me her face goes red and she storms off. Her uncle and grandfather have made several attempts to murder me.
And the entire village has given me nothing but hate when Akame wasn't around.
Sigh. Life in Uzu is absolutely shit for me. That's why today's the last time that I'm here. Since the first day I woke up, I felt as though I there was something I needed to complete. Thanks to Akame, I also know that to regain my memories I must grow stronger.
"Good morning, Shinku."
Feeling Akame's hands on wrap around my waist, i stopped doing push-ups and went silent before lowering my legs and standing up, towering an entire foot over the naked redheaded teen whom just recently woke up from her slumber.
"It's noon..."
"..."
I slid my hands over Akame's sweet ass while she moved her hands onto my muscular chest.
"I'm going to miss having you around, honey. Just... make sure you come back often and are here to help me protect Uzu, alright."
Standing on her tippy toes, Akame whispered into my ear. I have to be an idiot not to hear the pain she was holding back, and looking at her face, those watery eyes made my heart sting slightly.
"Sigh. Don't worry, I'll always be there when you need me. But why not just come with me?" Asking this, I pull her head into my chest. I already know what she'll say, but... there's also a chance...
"Come on. This is my home, and I can't leave. Not now, at least. There's still some things I need to do here." Akame whispered into my chest, making me sigh. I knew it would be like this. There's nothing for her here to do. All that she has here are her clansmen and family. Every last one of them are people who hate me.
"Yeah. I understand."
Sigh. How did the two of us end up engaged when her entire family hates me?
"I know you understand. It's just..."
"Hard to let go."
"Yeah. I don't remember when, but I was obsessed with you way before we got together. So obsessed with making you mine. Now... I can't even stop you from leaving my side."
But you can. Why? Why can't you see what's right in front of you, child?
"Akame! Are you up yet?! It made you lunch!"
The distant shout of Ruri, Akame's mother, drew our attention as we separated from our embrace, and she moved to pick some clothes out of her dresser.
While I would love to continue staring at her well-rounded curves, I move to pick up our clothes from last night and toss them into the dirty hamper before getting dressed myself in a long sleeve black shirt with the Uzu swirl on its back.
I strapped my ninja pouches to my left hip, both my thighs, and my right ankle before grabbing my black headband and strapping it to my left bicep.
It's annoying, but this Uzu headband is the only proof of my status as a ninja at the moment.
"You ready?"
Already done, I turn towards Akame only to see her standing right behind me with a red cloth in her hands. Honestly, I thought it would take her much longer to get dressed.
"Yeah, and... this is for you." Saying this, Akame undid my headband and stripped the metal plate off the black cloth and moved to place the metal on the red cloth before holding it up to me.
'Why rip it off if you are unable to even put it onto a new cloth yourself?'
Sighing, I manipulated my chakra to take on a fire nature without the transformation and sealed the metal plate onto the cloth.
"There." A smile spread across Akame's lips as she moved to wrap the cloth around my arm once more.
"I was planning to give this to you later, but since we're here..." Raising my left arm up slightly so I could access the storage seal on my wrist, unsealing a thin, dark purple obsidian necklace with dozens of small seals written into it.
"This is so I can always be there for you, even in the most dire situations."
Seeing the necklace In my hands, Akame faced away from me and lifted her hair so I could put it on for her, and I did. My hands glided across her gentle skin as I clipped together.
Not gonna lie. I'm kinda tempted to rip Akame's haori and vest off right now, but... I'm sure Ruri will head up here if Akame doesn't head down soon.
Akame released her hair and turned to meet my entranced gaze as we both leaned in to kiss one another. Wrapping my arms around her waist and clasping my hands on her ass as she moaned into my mouth.
"Mnng~"
"Let's go, you still need to eat." Separating from the kiss, i pulled the dazed Akame with me out the room and down the brown mansion halls and down a set of stairs when we entered the dining room with two plates of Grilled fish and rice on the table.
But one plate was being eaten by Ruri.
Glancing around, I noticed there was leftover food tossed into the trash.
'Sigh. Like I said, she hates me. Spiteful bitch.'
"Eat. I'll be heading out to grab a few things I need." Kissing Akame's cheek, i stare Ruri down, glaring daggers into her soul. Seriously, if it wasn't for the fact she was Akame's mother, I would rip her spleen out and feed it to her.
Too far? Don't care.
Straightening out, I moved to head out of the mansion by Shunshining from my place, leaving the mother daughter duo alone as I appeared in along the shopping district of Uzushiogakure.
Immediately once the villagers noticed my presence, I had to side step a melon while many of them openly showed their hatred and disgust.
'Yep. This is Uzu. A land where the people truly believe they are superior to others, especially to Kumo and Suna nin. And oh, what do you know? I happen to look a lot like them. Tch. They're a bunch of weak chumps that got their asses handed to them by a man with memory loss.'
Passing through the streets, I avoided several more fruits and vegetables thrown my way as I headed towards the weapon and ninjutsu shop, ran by one of the few Uzumaki that don't give a damn about anything.
On my way toward the shop, I felt a small force bump against my chest before falling onto the ground. Glancing at the person who just bumped into me, I was slightly taken aback since it was a beautiful Uzu woman, with emerald green eyes, a seductive figure, and long crimson hair.
Eto Uzumaki, Akame's aunt, held her forehead in pain from the collision. She currently wore a red and black long sleeve vest with a long red skirt.
"Hey. Are you alright down there?" Reaching out one of my hands to help the woman up to her feet. Eto moved to take my hand with hers, when her eyes locked with mine and she realized just who I was.
Just like always, her face was redder than a cherry as she trembled in fury at me. Though to my surprise, she still took my hand to help herself up.
"Thank you, Shinku." Rising to her feet, Eto's words honestly took me by surprise as she soon began dusting herself off with her free left hand, while her right was still wrapped around mine.
"Don't worry about it. I should be on my way now, see yah." I rather not stay near this woman longer than I have to, and she snaps on me.
Moving to walk past her and continue on my way, I can feel a tug on my arm as Eto still hasn't released me from her grasp. Turning to face her, I couldn't help but frown as the woman really threw a pretty damn strong left hook that connected with my cheek.
"Feel better?" I really want to beat this woman for that, but... it's not worth it.
After striking me, Eto gave me a conflicted gaze with watery eyes as she released her hold on my hand, and her entire body was shaking.
"Why?"
Hmm, the hell with this woman? She's never even bothered speaking a word to me before, now she suddenly has something to say.
"Why the hell are you allowed to just forget, but I'm forced to remember everything my Clone went through?"
Okay. I have no idea what she's on about, but...
"I never asked to forget my memories, and whatever I did to your clone, I'm sorry."
Finally, I can go.
Without wasting anymore time, I turn to head out barely, catching what Eto whispered before she ran off.
"Don't be sorry... just... don't die out there... pervert."
Pervert?
Just what the hell did I do?
Ignoring the villagers, it only took me a few minutes to reach a small ship made from a yellow colored stone, with swirls engraved all around it.
"Yo. Akahana! My things are in the back like usual, right?" Walking into the shop, I shouted, announcing my arrival as I made my way past the ninja tools.
"Shinku!" Like always, a busty redheaded woman at 170cm with crimson red eyes came running out the backroom and leaped into my arms for a hug, lightly dressed in a short skirt and a short red top, with elbow length black gloves.
This is Akahana Uzumaki, a beautiful 28 year old Kunoichi who specializes in Bukijutsu as well as the production of ninja tools. She's also a woman who formed an interesting attachment to me at some point.
"Come, come." Akahana immediately began dragging me the rest of the way to the backroom by my wrists with a goofy grin spreading across her lips, like a kid in love, and I just followed after her to see the fruits of her labor.
Entering the backroom, Akahana showed me a large wooden box in the center of the room. Not wanting to release me from her hold entirely, she intertwined her right hand with my left, and the two of us used our free hands to open the box together.
A large smile spread across my lips, seeing the two well crafted weapons inside.
"They're perfect, Akahana. Thank you." Closing the box up and sealing it inside the weapon seal on my wrist. Glancing at Akahana, I could see a small pout since I didn't take the weapons out to test them like she wanted, but now isn't the time, and I trust her handy work to meet my expectations.
"Hey, I love them. But I'm leaving soon so we should properly enjoy this time we have together." Whispering into her ear, I pull Akahana into my embrace, locking lips with hers.
Call me a scumbag all you want, but I love her just as much as I love Akame, and I will undoubtedly come to love so many more women.
