With R for ****
With R for ****
"Well... is anyone hungry?" - Kurama asked with a smile as he decided to ignore what he had discovered.
"We!" - shouted the two girls as they forcibly smiled but at the same time they were grateful that I gave them an escape route from this uncomfortable situation.
"Mental note, do not punish the Hyuga sisters any further unless it is extremely necessary..." - Kurama thought as he walked toward Ichiraku with Hinata and Hanabi.
"Kurama-kun..." - Hinata muttered when she could no longer resist asking.
"Yes?" - the young redhead gave the girl a curious look.
"What do you think about what happened to Kurenai sensei?" - Hinata asked with a serious look.
". . ." - Kurama was silent for a few seconds as he looked around - "I don't think it's a good idea for us to talk about this when there are so many people around. . ."
"I'm sorry..." - sighed Hinata as she saw that she had been too hasty. Kurama was right, there were too many people walking around to talk about such a delicate subject, more knowing that it was someone close to them.
"We will continue when we reach Ichiraku" - smiled the redhead and then looked at Hanabi - "It's not that I don't trust you, Hanabi-chan but I hope you don't tell anyone about this"
"Don't worry, I don't plan on saying a word" - replied the young Hyuga with a serious look. Kurama only nodded as the trio continued their journey to the restaurant for a meal.
* * * * *
After arriving at their destination, the trio greeted Ayame and walked to their table.
"What will you have?" - asked the red-haired young man - "It's on me today"
"Hmm... I'll leave it up to you" - answered Hanabi with curiosity. She had never come to eat at Ichiraku even though it had become quite popular since it became a restaurant.
"You better order yourself, Hanabi-chan" - said Hinata seriously - "Because if you don't, Kurama-kun will only order Ramen"
"You say it as if Ramen was a bad thing" - muttered the man who now had a frown adorned on his face.
"It's not bad unless you take it to excess" - Hinata said as she rolled her eyes - "Which you do"
"Ok, I admit I like ramen but that's not a sin" - Kurama just shrugged.
"The problem is not that you like ramen but that you consume an unhealthy amount" - snorted the pearly-eyed young woman.
"You're acting like a couple"- Hanabi muttered as Hinata blushed - "I'm sorry, Kurama-kun!
"It's okay, it's not the first time I've been told" - the redheaded man nodded - "Anyway, we'd better order the food so I can put on the privacy seal so we can talk in peace"
* * * * *
Lunch passed quietly for the trio and they were now leaving Ichiraku after paying for their meals. Kurama had told Hinata about all the details he could tell, things like Asuma's actions before he "disappeared".
The two Hyuga sisters had a frown when they heard how the sensei of their companions had sent a lady to the hospital just for being nice to the redhead.
Kurama saw that the emotions of the two girls were beginning to turn dark, so he decided to change the subject quickly. He asked them about their training and they only smiled in reply as they told him what they had done during the day.
Hanabi had training at the Hyuga Residence although she felt she had been stuck while Hinata had trained her endurance in Genjutsus, as well as the one or two basic Jutsu that Kushina had taught her.
At this point, the trio was walking to the Hyuga residence because the two sisters had decided to train together today so that they could connect more. They were talking without realizing that they had already reached their destination.
"Thank you for bringing us home, Kurama-kun" - said Hinata when she saw that they had arrived at Hyuga Residence. She didn't want to part with the boy but knew that he had to continue training.
"It's the least I can do" - smiled the redheaded man as he stroked the child's hair - "I hope you won't follow people anymore..."
"I promise nothing" - snorted little Hanabi as she rolled her eyes, though inside she thought otherwise - "As if I were following someone else..."
Hinata knew it was going through her little sister's mind, so she said nothing.
"Anyway, I'm sorry I can't stay any longer but I have to get back to my training" - said Kurama as he said goodbye - "See you tomorrow... I think..."
Honestly, he had lost hope of not meeting the Hyuga sisters now that they had decided to follow him so that they would be punished. He understood that they would find him if they tried hard enough when they activated their Byakugan.
"See you tomorrow, Kurama-san" - Hanabi nodded as he entered the house but not before giving his sister a glance saying "Good luck".
"~" - Hinata only blushed but still nodded - "W-Wait, Kurama-kun!"
"Is something wrong?" - asked the red-haired young man.
"Etto... well... I..." - Hinata didn't know how to express herself because of the shame, so she could only play with her fingers while giving the boy a look.
"You can tell me anything you want, Hinata-chan" - said Kurama with a smile.
"W-Well... I... I wanted to ask you if... etto... if you would like to go out with me tomorrow..." - said Hinata as her face lit up like a Christmas light. The poor girl could barely contain her erratic heartbeat when she said these words but at the same time, she was proud that she could express what she wanted to say.
"Going out with you? Like a date?" - Kurama asked in surprise. While he knew about the feelings of the Hyuga heiress, he never thought she would ask him out, not with the shyness of the girl.
"'Don't you want to?" - asked Hinata when she noticed that he did not give her an answer.
Kurama could feel the girl's sadness so he shook his head - "It's not that, it's just that I couldn't contain my surprise when you asked if I wanted to go out with you"
". . ." - Hinata was silent as she waited for the boy's answer.
"I have no problem going out with you" - nodded the redhead - "I promise to meet you unless something serious happens tomorrow"
"Thank you!" - Hinata smiled as she hugged the boy - "See you tomorrow at lunchtime!"
"Okay" - Kurama nodded as he watched Hinata begin to release steam from her ears - "I-I think I'd better go home... Hanabi-chan has to be waiting for me!"
That said, the girl ran out into the residence.
". . ." - the guards had their jaws broken as the shy heiress of the clan had managed to ask a boy on a date.
"I'd better go, good job boys" - said Kurama as he said goodbye to the guards who could not contain their surprise.
"I-I think... we have to inform Hiashi-sama about this..." - muttered one of the guards while the other one nodded with a face that said he still didn't believe what he had seen - "I better go inform him myself..."
* * * * *
Kurama was walking back into the forest of death when he felt someone following him in silence.
"Is this a new trend?" - the redheaded man asked himself when he felt the person following him getting closer.
". . ." - the woman slowly moved closer to her target.
"I swear to Kami that this is getting annoying" - murmured Kurama as he recognized who it was, which was not too difficult knowing that he had lived next to her for more than 10 years.
"Gotcha!" - shouted the woman, only to see Kurama disappear into a smokescreen - ". . ."
"Nice try, Anko-chan" - said Kurama from the roof of a building as he looked at the beautiful purple-haired woman. Anko didn't respond, she just gave the boy an annoying look as he smiled at her.
"That's not the way to treat a woman, Foxy-kun..." - Anko said with a frown.
"I'm sorry, Anko-chan" - the redheaded man denied - "It's just an instinct"
Anko quickly jumped to the side of the boy who didn't dodge her this time and quickly put his head between her big breasts - "I swear I'll punish you"
"Death by breast... died in the manliest way possible..." - thought the men as they clicked their tongues. Despite being Konoha's most frightening woman, no one could deny Anko's beauty, especially when she had breasts that were only surpassed by a few women.
"Okay... you win..." - murmured Kurama.
"Hyan~!" - Anko just let out a little moan because the boy was moving his mouth between her breasts. She quickly began to feel her body slowly heating up because she still remembered what she had heard.
"Now that I think about it..." - said Kurama as he ignored the fact that Anko's wishes were squeezing him like a snake - "Shouldn't you be in IT?"
"Normally I would be, but Ibiki organized our schedule so that we could have a few days off," smiled Anko flirtatiously.
"So I was planning to have some quality time with my Foxy-kun~"
"Can't we wait?" - Kurama asked calmly.
". . ." - Anko only frowned because the boy was rejecting her - "Motive?"
"Because the Chunin exams are about to start and I have a bad feeling" - answered Kurama with a frown. His instincts told him that something serious would happen soon, and he had better prepare with everything he had.
Anko could only look at the boy with annoyance because she had finally managed to find some time to spend together and now he tells her that he has to go to training.
"How about this?" - Said the redhead - "We'll have a date in the night."
". . ." - Anko was silent again because it didn't sound so bad. Although she was still upset that he rejected her so she'd have to punish him a little.
A small smile appeared on the woman's face as she thought of a good plan to punish her beloved.
"Anko-chan?" - Kurama could only watch her carefully because he knew he had earned the woman's wrath.
"It's nothing, Foxy-kun~" - smiled the beautiful purple-haired woman - "I guess I'll have to settle for a date with you tonight"
"I'm sorry for all this, Anko-chan" - sighed Kurama as he shook his head - "I promise I'll make it up to you.
"You will" - Anko nodded seriously - "You can be sure of that."
". . ." - Kurama only kept silent while he felt something bad would happen.
"I'm sorry I can't stay longer, Foxy-kun" - smiled Anko as she disappeared - "I have to go get ready for our date"
Kurama shook his head again as he felt Anko's presence disappear from the scene. His bad feeling grew stronger and stronger but he still said he would fix everything when it happened.
* * * * *
The afternoon passed quickly and Kurama was coming home to prepare for his date with Anko but as he was about to enter the house, he felt a familiar presence behind him - "Anko-chan?"
"I'm sorry I have to do this, Foxy-kun" - smiled Anko as the young redheaded man felt himself starting to lose consciousness - "You're to blame for being so mean to me"
"Chloroform..." - the boy muttered as he tried to lift himself slightly but to no avail.
"This is not an ordinary sedative, because it not only knocks out the victim but also slightly blocks his Tenketsu" - said Anko with a half-smile adorning her beautiful face - "It is specifically designed to be able to capture Threats of Rank B or higher more easily although the more chakra the target has, the shorter the duration of its effect".
"Anko...chan..." - Kurama could only murmur as he felt his eyelids start to grow heavy.
"It's time to start Plan R" - whispered Anko in an amusing tone. She was starting to enjoy all this - "Plan R for ****... maybe when this is all over, you'll learn that you don't have to treat a lady so coldly~"
Somehow, Kurama could sense that this situation would be repeated more than once in the future.
