"Aoba, are you okay? What happened?", Standing at the door, Shizune helped Aoba up. Seeing his somewhat disheveled appearance, her face was full of concern.
"Ahem! I… slipped when I opened the door just now," Aoba scratched his head awkwardly.
"Slipped?", Shizune raised an eyebrow and looked at him, then her gaze shifted downward.
Aoba's expression became even more embarrassed.
"Looks like you fell pretty hard," Shizune said with a half-smile, "Do you need me to treat you?"
"Ahem!"
Aoba dry-coughed again and said a bit shyly, "Sensei said… Shizune-nee should help me with treatment."
The smile on Shizune's face instantly stiffened, "Are you sure Tsunade-sama said that?"
Aoba nodded seriously.
"..."
"She lights the fire and expects someone else to put it out… why didn't she treat you herself…", Shizune muttered unhappily under her breath.
"Shizune-nee," Aoba blinked.
Shizune's pretty face reddened slightly. Of course she wouldn't refuse him… it was just that...
She glanced back at the room. Tsunade was in the bedroom, and she definitely hadn't fallen asleep yet.
Shizune suddenly felt her heart beating faster.
She cupped Aoba's cheeks, her breath quickened, and a faint charm appeared on her normally pure face.
"Aoba… why don't we do the treatment right here?"
"?", Aoba had a giant question mark in his head and looked at Shizune like she had turned into some kind of hero.
He suspected Shizune had awakened some strange kink… but had no proof.
Shizune quickly lowered her head, her ears reddening as if they might bleed, and even the temperature of her body felt scorching.
"Shizune-nee… aren't you afraid Sensei might punish you tomorrow?", Aoba pinched Shizune's burning cheek.
"It's fine… Tsunade-sama must already be asleep…", As she spoke, Shizune pressed Aoba against the wall.
———
"Shizune-nee, I think I just heard Sensei knock on the wall."
"You heard wrong."
"Just now it felt like the house even shook a little."
"Huu… that's just your imagination."
"Shizune-nee—"
"Stop talking and focus!"
Shizune had completely gone wild.
———
An hour later, Aoba finally came out of Tsunade's house.
He had to admit, he had really underestimated Shizune's combat power.
Maybe because of some sort of field buff, she had been incredibly fierce tonight.
"I'm back."
"Welcome back."
Uzuki Yugao's voice sounded. Aoba found that everyone in the house had mostly left.
"Karin and the others went home?"
"Of course they did," Terumi Mei snorted coldly, clearly displeased, "Do you have any idea how long you stayed at Tsunade's place?"
Aoba noticed that Mei seemed even more irritable than usual today.
He walked over to her and was just about to sit down when she pushed him away.
"Go take a bath first, you reek of Shizune."
"Aoba-sama, your clothes and bathwater are already prepared," Kin added on the side.
Aoba looked at Konan and Yugao. Both showed slightly troubled expressions. As for Temari… better not look.
Feeling like even his three elder sisters disliked him right now, Aoba picked up the clothes and headed for the bathroom.
When he finished bathing and came out, the living room was empty. Only Kin was still doing the final bit of cleaning.
"Aoba-sama, Yugao and the others have returned to their rooms. Also… Lady Mei said that after you finish bathing, you should immediately go to the bedroom," Kin said, her face turning bright red toward the end.
She obviously knew what would happen next.
"So early?", Aoba was a little surprised. It was more than an hour earlier than usual.
But since Mei had said it, he couldn't really refuse.
"Kin, you rest too. Just tidy up a little and go to bed."
"Okay. I'll finish the last bit and rest."
"Mm," After greeting her, Aoba headed toward his bedroom.
———
But when he opened the door, the scene he expected didn't appear.
Terumi Mei was alone in the room.
She wore her trademark water-blue long robe, chestnut curls draped around her shoulders, red lips bright and enticing, her cleavage incredibly seductive.
She was sitting at the desk by the window, gazing at the moon outside.
"Mei-nee, you…"
"I'm the only one here tonight. Are you… disappointed?", Terumi Mei looked back at him and gave a charming smile.
The cold moonlight shone on her figure, making her seem slightly mysterious.
Aoba was momentarily entranced.
Mei was obviously quite satisfied with his reaction, but she still spoke with a hint of sadness, "I'm leaving for the Mist tomorrow."
"So soon?", Aoba finally understood why she had been in a bad mood earlier.
"I've been away from Kirigakure for several months," Mei said with slight annoyance, "There are many matters in the village that need my attention."
Aoba walked behind Mei and gently massaged her smooth shoulders, "I've already gotten used to Mei-nee being here with me…"
Mei recalled the time she had spent in Konoha and couldn't help smiling, "If I go back to the Mist… will you miss me?"
"No."
"…If you miss me—you, WHAT?", Mei's gentle tone suddenly sharpened, and she turned around glaring at him like she wanted to kill.
Aoba couldn't help but laugh. He lowered his head and lightly tapped her northern hemisphere, a special seal appeared and then disappeared.
"What was that?"
"The Flying Thunder God mark."
Aoba explained with a smile, "When I have time, I'll come visit you."
Mei's face reddened slightly. Realizing she had misunderstood him earlier, she still pouted coyly, "Then why did you put the mark… in that place?"
"It's fine. As long as I don't activate it, the mark won't show," Aoba explained.
"You really have strange tastes," Mei glared at him.
"Hehe," Aoba laughed and added, "You should bring Zabuza and Haku back with you."
"Hm?", Mei blinked, suddenly remembering those two, "Aoba…"
Aoba smiled warmly, "They should be able to help you, right?"
"...", Mei pursed her lips without answering.
"Mm—"
In the next moment, her hot lips pressed against his.
Her arms wrapped tightly around Aoba's neck, everything left unsaid conveyed in that kiss.
Aoba quickly supported her neck and kissed back.
Since things were already like this, Mei directly pushed Aoba onto the bed, then proudly took out a little bottle from her cleavage.
She had especially asked Shizune for this.
"Tonight… I won't let you rest!"
