part 13

By the time the pair landed Sar'zoo back in his dedicated spot with the other Ikrans, it was well and truly day time.

As they hopped off creature, both teens had wide grins on their faces.

Akaia walked towards Sar'zoos face and embraced the Ikran, mentally thanking him for not throwing Mak'korro off of him.

The sound of Mak'korro's beautiful laugh, made her turn to face him with a smile. The boy held his head in disbelief, amazed at the views he had just seen. He took a step towards Akaia, grabbing both of her hands, ignoring the Ikran who began huffing and puffing in jealousy.

"Akaia that was amazing! I have never felt so alive." He said excitedly as his thumbs rub the back of her hands soothingly. Akaia couldn't control the blush that took over her face as the boy caressed her hands.

Akaia looked at the boy with a kind smile, her tail began to swing as she realised how close they were standing. Somehow the girls blush got worst she looked into his beautiful eyes.

Her thoughts began to run wild as she watched his eyes flickered to her lips before returning to her eyes. She was in panic mode. Was he going to kiss her? What if she's a bad kisser?

In the midst of her thoughts, Mak'korro let go of one of her hands and placed his palm gently on her cheek.

Akaia nearly passed out on the spot. She couldn't believe what was happening her tail was wagging vigorously now and she could see his was as well.

A sudden figure emerged from the bushes that separated the beach from the Ikrans. Mak'korro and Akaia jumped away from each other as they both stared towards the intruder.

Neteyam stood there with wide eyes. Akaia watched as his eyes flicked between the two with shock on his face.

"Have you found her yet bro?" Akaia sighs as another dark blue figure emerges from the bushes.

Why Lo'ak, why couldn't it be Kiri or Tuk? She mentally questioned as the younger boy eyes widened much like his brother.

A awkward silence fills the air as they all stood there in shock. Mak'korro scratches the back of his head before turning to Akaia.

"Thank you so much for the ride, I had a great time," Both Neteyam and Lo'aks eyes widened even more as they looked at the pair, both of their hair was wild and they both appeared to be blushing. Both the brothers looked towards each other as they assumed the worst. "But I should probably get going. I will see you later for lessons." The older boy said before waving and walking back towards the beach.

Lo'ak and Neteyam's eyes follow the boy as he left the scene before returning to Akaia.

"Thanks for the ride?!" Lo'ak exclaimed, glaring at his sister.

The girl rolled her eyes before walking up to Lo'ak slapping him on the back of the head.

"We went for a ride on Sar'zoo Lo'ak, get your head out of the gutter." She mumbled as she walked past the stunned boys.

The brothers looked at each other before running after their sister, shooting questions at her left, right and centre as she walked through the village.

"Why where you with him?"

"Where you guys going to kiss?"

"Did you leave so early just to see him?"

"Was Sar'zoo the only thing you were riding?"

Akaia stopped in her footsteps at Lo'aks inappropriate question. She turned slowly facing her brothers hissing at them as she places both of her hands roughly over their mouths.

"Both of you, drop it. Now." She growled at them before pushing their faces away. Both the boys groaned at the push before following after her again but this time much more silently.

Akaia was praying that none of the villagers heard what her brothers were saying, the last thing she needed was a rumour about her and the future Olo'eyktan circulating.

Akaia sighed as she approached her home. She hoped her parents weren't angry.

As she walked through the entrance of the marui she could see the rest of her family standing in the middle of the home. She winced as her mother and fathers angry eyes fell on her.

Neytiri staunched towards her daughter grabbing her arm and pulling the girl towards her.

"Where were you?" She questioned angrily as Akaia avoided her eyes, looking towards the ground instead.

"She was with Mak'korro!" Lo'ak blurted out as Neteyam elbowed him making him yell out in pain.

Jakes eyes narrowed as he looked from Lo'ak to Akaia. The girl glared at her younger brother as he nursed his now sore ribs. Jake walked towards Akaia with fire in his eyes, as he cursed the son of the Tonowari mentally.

His mind went crazy as he tried to work out why his daughter was hanging out with the Olo'eyktan's son in the early hours of the morning. He looked towards Neytiri who was already looking at him, both thinking the same thing.

"What were you two doing?" Neytiri asked in a suspicious tone, suddenly making everyones eyes widen.

"Mum please stop, we just went for a ride on Sar'zoo!" The girl yelled out in anger as she ripped her arm away from her mother and turning to face the wall in embarrassment.

"That's debatable." Lo'ak said, making Akaia turn towards him with fire in her eyes.

"Lo'ak, stop. Leave now!" Jake ordered as he pointed towards the door. Lo'ak rolled his eyes before leaving the home with the rest of his siblings following after him, leaving only Jake, Neytiri and Akaia in the room.

Akaia sighed as she looked towards the ground, avoiding her fathers harsh stare.

"Akaia, look at me." He said as he watched he daughter reluctantly look towards him.

"Nothing happened dad, we just went for a ride in Sar'zoo. That's it." She said once again, wishing for this situation to be over.

Jake sighed, "Akaia, we are supposed to be blending in. Riding Sar'zoo with the chiefs eldest son in the early hours of the morning is not blending in. I know you miss our old life in the forest but we can't jeopardise our new life here."

Akaia looked towards her father with a frown. "How am I jeopardising it? Im trying to make friends. Im trying to-"

"You are jeopardising it by putting yourself and others in dangerous situations!" He cut her off making the fire within her burn more intensely.

Akaia looked towards her mother briefly before look back towards her father. "Dangerous situations? What dangerous situations? I went for a ride on Sar'zoo, which is something I have done millions of times before. You seemed to have trusted me when I used to lead scouting party's or when I participated in our war campaigns. What's changed!"

"Everything has changed! Our lives have been altered and nothing with he the same again! From now on no more rides on Sar'zoo, and the same goes for your siblings! No more Ikran riding."

Akaia's and Neytiri's eyes went wide as they both realised what he was banning.

"Ma'Jake." Neytiri said sternly as she looked towards her mate with a look of disagreement.

"Dad you can't do that." Akaia said in disbelief.

"I'll do whatever I have too, to protect this family."

Akaia scoffed, "Get fucked." She said before storming out of the home.

Neytiri growled at Jake, slapping him on the chest before following her oldest daughter.
