Chapter 38: A step forward

The return to Konoha had been a simple affair. Gaara had recovered before then and they had to stop using the Time Dilation seal. Suna may have been allies with the village and Gaara, Naruto’s friend but that wasn’t enough to reveal such an important S-rank secret. Of course the Kazekage would wonder how they could have acted so fast but he wouldn’t have any proper answer. Who would think that someone could manipulate time with a seal after all?

He had been thankful for his rescue and a bit less to know that they were not on the way to his village but theirs instead. The knowledge that someone in Konoha could strengthen his seal was barely enough to put him in a better mindset. Tsunade, revealing who the Akatsuki were and what their goal was as far as she knew, had started talks about a Kage summit.

It was after this meeting that Tsunade finally revealed to Riku that the organization was hunting down the jinchuriki. She didn’t have to explain what they were, he had read that term many times while studying Uzumaki Mito’s scrolls. He was however surprised to learn that Naruto was the one of the Kyubi which finally explains why his chakra reserves were off the charts.

After sending an express message to Suna to warn them that their Kage was safe and sound in Konoha and explaining how that came to be, Riku was free of any assistance duty to his sensei by his sensei. Yugao and Kakashi went to the hospital to release their respective prisoners and let the doctors try to save their lives. Raiga wasn’t as much in critical condition as Deidara. Riku let them do their thing while he dragged Hinata away inside his Botib to spend a few hours intimately. No penetration was involved but Riku did spent most of the time between his moon princess’ legs to her greatest pleasure and torture. When they separated, the sun was setting and he went to Ino’s place of work. Friday had been the previous day and he had missed their date. He was sure Ino would be upset but not at him, at life in general. After all it wasn’t his fault he had to be away on mission at the time and he was almost certain she knew that and won’t blame him. Especially since he intended to take her out tonight instead.

He looked through the shop’s window to see if she was working today and yes she was. What he didn’t expect was for a shinobi he didn’t know, trying to chat her up and Ino being somehow flirty back. His first reflex, his first thought was that thinking he was away she could drop the act she put on with him. He discarded it however, trying to not let his memories influence him. What he did instead of barreling inside, murdering the guy and pointing fingers in accusation, was to take a deep breath, then another and another. Feeling ready to tackle the situation, he entered the shop. The two people were so engrossed in talking that they didn’t notice him, which was perfect for spying in his opinion. Getting an idea he looked around and noticed Magenta Lilacs. Not hesitating a second he took half a dozen of them and made a small bouquet.

“... free tonight?” the guy asked.

“I am but I have a boyfriend, sorry.”

“He must not be a good one if you're all alone on a Saturday night.”

“He’s on a mission actually.”

“Well, even more reasons to go on a date since he’s absent. He’ll never know.”

“Are you sure about that?”

Riku had had enough and had heard everything he needed. Ino wasn’t playing him and the guy’s face was about to be intimately introduced to his own asshole.

Hearing his voice, Ino looked around the customer and beamed when she saw him. Said customer however, frowned and turned around, clearly not happy for being interrupted.

“Who are you?”

“The boyfriend. Now, I believe you should go before you humiliate yourself further.”

“Humiliate myself further? Do you know who I am? I could arrest you and put you in jail for-”

The self importance of the guy made Riku snap. His hand was as fast as lightning and gripped the young man by the throat and squeezed.

“I’m Warudo Riku, the Godaime Hokage, Senju Tsunade’s apprentice. One of the only two seal masters in the village and beloved by the whole Anbu. Whoever you are? Doesn’t matter to me one bit because I’m more important to Konoha than you are and ever will be. So here is what is going to happen. I’m going to punch your mouth for running it then drag you to the precinct where you will confess to your abuse of authority. M’kay?”

Without giving the possible member of the MP the opportunity to respond, Riku knocked him out with one punch and let him fall to the ground. He barely had the time to look from the guy to Ino that she jumped over the counter and then on him with so much strength that he fell backward to the ground. Her lips were on his before he could understand what was happening. Ino gave everything she had into that kiss. When she pulled back he could see the absolute lust in her eyes. He didn’t try to formulate a sentence, instead he presented his bouquet, which surprised her. A flower mistress like Ino knew what the Magenta Lilacs meant and love joined the lust in her beautiful light-blue orbs.

“Hinata is safe and sound. And I’m sorry for standing you up yesterday.” he said as he put a hand on her hips and another against her cheek. His thumb passed over her lips and Ino immediately took it in her mouth and sucked it with everything she was worth.

‘Yeah, she’s pent up alright.’ “I was thinking of taking you out on our date tonight but clearly-”

“You, me, closet. NOW!” she said as she stood up and went to the back room in a hurry.

Riku created a kage bunshin which took the down guy away to the MP central and waited for Ino. She was a blur when she came back, moving fast, pushing him outside the shop and closing it. Once done she gave him a look and took her in a princess carry before shushining away to a secluded place in the forest. He made a clone to guard the Botib he had unsealed and both he and his sun princess went inside. Jumping out of his arms, she made a beeline for the bedroom area.

“We’re having that date once we’re done!” she shouted and Riku activated the Time seal, shaking his head in amusement.

Immediately after, he went through the bedroom’s door and the sight made him hard on the spot. Ino was facing him on the bed, kneeling with her legs spread. Her only articles of clothing were a dark purple fishnet thigh high stocking and a dark purple garter. She had one breast in her hand, lifting it up and playing with her nipple while her other hand was caressing a very dripping wet pussy. The small puddle already started to form right below it and her honey pot glistened under the light, including her neat and trimmed patch of blonde hair right above it.

“Hurry!” she said in desperation and need but Riku took his time.

“You look like you’re going to self combust.”

“I will if you don’t take care of me! I’ve been horny since yesterday in anticipation for our date! You taking that guy out like a possessive macho man made it ten times worse! Please baby! I need you! I need your cock!” she begged and pleaded.

“More like you need cocks.”

“Yeah! But you only have one! At least you have the stamina! Now stop talking an-”

She shut up on the spot, and stop did her finger going in and out of her pussy, when he created two shadow clones. After recovering from her small shock understanding the new possibilities and what was going to happen, her mind was completely gone.

“BRING THEM HERE, NOW!”

Riku didn’t need to be ordered twice and spent the next six hours fucking Ino in any way she wanted until she was completely out like a light because of exhaustion. They slept a good ten hours afterwards to recuperate from the ordeal. There was no morning blowjob awaiting him when Riku woke up but they did share a shower for the first time and he loved the experience. The intimacy between them and how caring Ino was in washing his body. Her love was truly genuine, he realized once again and he couldn’t help but feel the same way.

Once out of the shower and properly clothed They left the Botib hand in hand and Riku brought her to one of the few restaurants that he knew could welcome him even if they would overcharge him. After years of apprenticeship under Tsunade, there were still people too stupid to realize their mistakes. When they entered the establishment he chose, two people were getting out.

“Yuuna? Gou?”

“Riku!” his former temporary teammate exclaimed seeing him. “It’s been years! How are you doing?”

“Well, you can see for yourself.” he replied waving up and down his hand at Ino by his side in a ‘Look at that, isn’t she great?’ motion and Yuuna good heartedly whistle in a joking manner.

“Guess you won the jackpot, eh? I just have this one!” she pointed with her thumb at Gou, right behind her who rolled his eyes.

“At least he has excellent stamina.” he replied, making her snort. “Ino, this is Tanaka Yuuna and behind her is Akiyama Gou. Guys this is Yamanaka Ino.” he introduced  everyone then turned to Ino. “They were my teammates during the chunin exam.”

“Oh, I remember now! You two fought in the first round of the finals! Wow, that was one hell of a match! The only one interesting actually, except your other one with Lee.”

“I may have lost this one, but I sure as hell got my revenge in bed one day.” said Gou with a chuckle and got an elbow from Yuuna.

“I’m glad you found someone, Riku. I always feared you’d never move on from me.” joked Yunna and Riku looked at Ino then back at Yuuna. “Who are you again?”

“You ass!” she replied with no heat in her words. “And you were so cute back then.”

““Girly boy.”” both Gou and Riku reminded her.

“I should probably take her away, cause you’re way more manly looking now. Who knows what stupid ideas she’ll get in her mind.” Gou said.

He took Yuuna by the hand and they left the restaurant promising to ‘see you around’. Ino and Riku took a private room with a window and quickly made their order.

“They seemed nice.” Ino commented.

“They are. Gou doesn’t talk that much but he’s a really good companion. Yuuna is… A very very watered down version of you? Not quite nearly as beautiful either.” he ended with a compliment for her and earned a peck on the lips for that.

The food was good and Riku wanted a dessert but Ino’s barefoot foot sensually going up his leg to rest on his groin which she began to massage, was a clear indication of what she wanted for her dessert. As a result he quickly paid their bill (which as expected was grossly inflated) and left. They walked hand in hand, their fingers intertwined back to the Senju manor. Or at least it was his first idea before he changed his mind and changed direction. Ino didn’t understand where he was leading her until she recognized the way to the Hokage monument. They went beyond the rail, stopping people from falling down the cliff and landed on Tsunade’s head. He took her in his embrace from behind and Ino melted against his chest. They don’t know how long they stayed like that, looking at the lights of the village or the light of the moon and the stars but they didn’t care.

“I… have a confession to make.” he said and Ino turned her head up to look at him questingly.

“When I arrived at the flower shop and saw you flirting with that guy through the window I…”

“I wasn’t.” she denied.

“I know! I know! Just… Please let me talk. I thought you were and… And my brain went to a very dark place for a moment. I thought… that I was seeing you without the usual mask you wear around me, that it was your true colors. It was a fleeting thought. One that I didn’t like and refused to acknowledge. It was still there though so I… made a choice that I shouldn’t even have had to make in the first place. I… I trusted you but needed to verify that my trust was not misplaced. So I got inside and since you were busy talking with him, I just listened with one ear while I made your bouquet. What I heard… From his mouth, I mean… It made my blood boil. I wanted to punch him into a bloody mist on the spot. Because you are mine and nobody takes what’s mine. The answers you gave him made me feel better. I… what I’m trying to say Ino is that… I want more than just wanting a serious relationship with you. This date tonight? I want more. A lot more and I think that while I’m not yet quite there… that I chose to trust you, despite my traitorous thoughts, is a big step towards it. So… Ino, would you like to be my girlf-”

She kissed him before he could fully ask her the question. She had tears of joy in her eyes and a bright smile from ear to ear.

“Yes, you stud. I’ll be your girlfriend.” she replied with her face an inch from his own and her arms around his neck.

“Stud? Not baby?”

“After what you did to me for six hours, you’ve been upgraded to stud.”

“I liked, baby.”

“Then I’ll keep using it. Now If you excuse me, I remember I didn’t have a dessert.” she said and got on her knees with her hands reaching for his belt.

He didn’t know why but that was the best blowjob she ever gave him so far because he never came that fast. When he saw her painted white face, and her expression of bliss he got hard again on the spot. He didn’t give her the time to clean herself and picked her up. Five minutes later they were inside his bedroom in the Senju manor, making a good impressive showing of who loved the other more.

When morning came and once Ino had her special breakfast, she moved up from between his legs and straddled him.

“How are things going with Hinata?” she asked, looking down at him and putting her hands on his own as he began playing with her voluminous chest.

“Once the debrief with sensei was done, I brought her inside the Botib. We didn’t have sex but she sure as hell was naked and with her legs spread. I spent hours with my head between them. She was a quivering mess when I was done.

“She told me about your little break during her training the other day. I’m surprised you didn’t take her virginity here and there.”

“I nearly did but I thought that it was too fast too soon. She was in a trance, she didn’t even notice she had two of fingers inside of her. I didn’t want her to regret doing it because she was horny. When she’ll do it, it will be because she’s emotionally ready for it.”

“You have way more self control than I do. I can’t help myself when I see her naked when we’re at the Hot Springs. I even have wet dreams about her, you know? Sometimes the Hokage is there too. Big boobs pressed against big boobs.”

“I wonder when you went from you liking emo boys to loving women too.”

“Anko’s training. That was when. She may be insane but fuck does she have one hell of a body. I couldn’t tear my eyes off of it.”

His alarm clock rang and both sighed. Their time together in bed was over. Riku needed to get up and make breakfast for everyone. He got out of bed with Ino still on him and let her down gently on the bed. He put a boxer and a shirt on and went to the kitchen. A minute later Ino did the same but sat at the kitchen counter, watching him work in silence.

Both Shizune and Tsunade were surprised to see her present. Usually Ino would sneak out but not this time apparently.

“My baby and I are official now.” the young blond said to the older women and was congratulated for it.

As Riku put down her plate in front of Tsunade, he kissed her on the cheek. “Don’t worry, sensei. You’re still my number one blonde, you're just sharing the spot now.”

“Just so you know, you can still keep playing with him as long as you remember he’s mine first.”

“W-Wha-” Shizune stuttered while Tsunade stopped mid bite.

“Shizune-san, your room smelled like post Riku exhaustion one time when I went to see him and your door was opened. Tsunade-sama, you forgot to put a soundproof seal once when the two of you were alone and when I was visiting clandestinely.”

Both Tsunade and Shizune were red as hell at being caught red-handed.

“Ino-”

“I know, Tsunade-sama. It would be a disaster if that knowledge spreaded but I wanted to level the field between us. To be on the same page. As I said, I don’t mind what you’re doing but he’s mine.”

“I feel like an object being passed around.” Riku said, taking a seat next to his girlfriend. She put her free hand in the crook of his leg and caressed it slowly but naturally.

“Are you really complaining?”

“Nope. I’m not that mad.”

Ino smirked and breakfast went on. She couldn’t wait to tell her mother, Hinata and Karin the news.
