second heartbeat [akiko]

and i know you don't care why i

you're begging me to bleed

Uchiha Akiko despte the weather was expected to make her daily passes, she had to check up on her jounin afterall. Her presence was still somewhat new and she'd have to personally enforce it to get anyones respect. However she'd also be forced to leave her sister at home, when Akiko left the homestead her sister was merely peering out the sad window. It wasn't a happy day in Soragakure as the rain was just so uncomfortable, it was cold and fire didn't seem to want to live under it's reign. So, with a quick pace Akiko would make her rounds, she'd mostly shout to her comrades leaving a good distance between them and a shorter between her and the next shout. She had a good idea of her jounin's activity they all seemed to take their own patterns to life. 

However she'd kept her route planned, so she could swing by her house, it was rare to see her sister active, but the chance she'd emerge from bed made the short visits worth it. On a pass though she'd clearly hear her name and jump to their window pane. She'd let herself into her own house and room as it'd be of no real concern to the public. "Kaede." Akiko would murmur in a quiet yet strangely detached voice. She'd near instantly find her sister in a state of sleep and realize the name called hadn't been out of any dire need. Akiko's heart was beating quickly and it took a minute of staring at her sister, before she felt comfortable enough to close the window behind her. She stood in her own room now distracted, she'd finally escaped the rain completely.

It wasn't just the dryiness of the room though, it was the heat always projected from her sister. Akiko's eyes saw something in Kaede always, as she'd be lured from duties to take a seat at her sisters feet. She didn't want to sit to far on the bed her frame was still rather drenched from the outdoors. She wasn't even sure if her presence would wake Kaede, she didn't want to wake her sister after all. It'd been a past time of Akiko's to watch her sister sleep after all. There was sense of peace gained from the trivial bond they shared.

Akiko was very happy to feel her warmer sisters body, as it began to settle in just how damp the kunoichi had been. She felt her entire body warm with the life of her sister so presently close. "You called my name in your sleep, I just came in through the window." Akiko would state as she'd point out the damp spot of wood floor infront of the window that was now closed. The clan leader purred with her younger siblings kind gestures and loving demeanor. She'd hate the fact her shift was only halfway through, but she was still so happy a moments attention could be found for her darlking sister. She'd sigh lightly, as she'd feel her sisters question come before it left her own mouth.

Akiko sat silent for a moment and looked up at the window, she'd glare for a moment at the rain, but her body felt cold and exhausted. "To hell with going back out there..." She'd finally state with her first admitted defeat, as she personally couldn't with stand the endless cold drilling rain. She needed to at the very least gather herself and get some warmth, she'd worry about her impression on other shinobi later. She needed to give herself sometime to relax it wouldn't be fair if she never got to enjoy the things she'd gain in life experience. "You're in control of your own actions Kaede, it's not like your drunk display earlier didn't amuse me. There needs to be times to have fun, it's just human nature..." She'd defend her sister without a seconds thought, she couldn't hold resent towards her sibling, but she also knew she couldn't stop her from making decisions of her own.

"There's no reason to dwell on what's been done. So, let's just think about right now..." Akiko would put her arm around Kaede's waist and pull her in close, while she'd tip her head to rest partially against her sisters. "I don't really like the rain all that much sister..." Akiko would state with her eyes slowly finding themselves peering out the window again. It'd suddenly become her own personal advisary, as she'd still shiver from the cold which infested her soaked exterior. It wasn't exactly what laid on the Uchiha's mind, but as her eyes were pointed to the window she couldn't help, but abuse it for her metaphors.
