Venture

Chapter One

-Complaint-

A blonde haired man sat in a large, comfortable chair in his living room, completely engrossed in the book he was reading. He vaguely heard his mother sigh, but ignored it. He had somewhat shaggy blonde hair, his bangs a bit shorter than the rest of his golden locks, and deep, forest green eyes. His body was lean like his father's, the muscles clearly defined through his clothing. He had on a sleeveless white shirt, with a deep green jacket over it, the short sleeves each having a slit in them. His arms had fingerless bracers on them, covering the tops of his forearms and his entire hand. His pants were white as well, a dark green belt matching the color of his shirt keeping them up, with the ends tucked into his ninja shoes. A dagger was strapped onto his left thigh, another strap of the green material on each of his shins.

His mother sighed once more, only slightly louder. He glanced over at her, taking in her appearance before returning his gaze to his book. She was a tiny woman, with long golden locks and bright amber eyes. Currently she was sitting on the couch crocheting a scarf for him for the winter, but she didn't seem to be putting any gusto into the task like she usually did.

The blonde woman sighed again, and he winced. He knew that sigh. It was the, I want you to ask me what's wrong because I have something important to say, sigh. Well he wouldn't do it. He would be strong, and resist her obvious ploy. The next time she sighed he winced, since it was so obviously loud. He frowned, raising his book up to his face to hide it from his mother. It was not going to work. He fell for it every time, but this time…this time he would be strong.

When she practically shouted in her sigh, he let out a soft one of his own, before setting his book in his lap and looking over at the blonde woman, who was pretending to be focused on her task. "Mother…is something bothering you?" he asked reluctantly.

"Oh Ryousuke!" Talia practically cried out. "I'm so sad. Your father has been gone so often on missions and I hardly ever get to see him anymore. I just don't know what to do." She pouted, setting her task down as she pressed one of her hands to her cheek. "I know his missions are important, but I'm beginning to feel neglected. I even dressed all sexy for him last time he came home, but he said he was too tired and just wanted to go to sleep." She sniffed, looking over at her son with watery eyes. "I'm not getting ugly am I Ryousuke? Do I look old? I've yet to grey, and I don't think I'm sagging yet. I just don't understand why he doesn't want to spend time with me."

Ryousuke let out another sigh and wiped a hand down his face. The last thing he wanted to talk about was what was or wasn't happening to his mother's body. "Of course you don't look old mom. And you could never be ugly. Dad's just being dumb."

"Well make him stop Ryousuke." Talia huffed, pouting even more.

"You make him stop." His brow furrowed. "He's your husband. Why do I always have to get involved in these things?"

Talia sniffed, turning away from him and covering her face with her hands. "W-well….I guess I…I thought I could rely on my sweet boy." She cried out. "But he's all big and on his own now. He doesn't want anything to do with his mommy anymore!"

Ryousuke frowned, setting his book aside and rising from his seat. "Mommy." He sighed, taking a seat next to her on the couch and wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "You can always rely on me. I still want stuff to do with you. If I didn't I wouldn't have come home to stay with you while dad was off on his mission."

She sniffed and wiped the tears from her cheeks as she looked back at her son. "Then you'll tell your father to stop being a meanie?" she asked, with wide sparkling eyes.

"Yes mom, I'll talk to dad, I promise." He said.

"Oh thank you sweetie!" Talia beamed, hugging him tightly and she breathed out. "He should be coming home today or tomorrow, so you'll have to catch him before he can see me." she giggled.

He nodded. "Okay, I'll make sure to do that. Do you want me to do anything else?"

"Nope that'll be it sweetie." She kissed his cheek. "You're such a good boy. I love you so much." she nuzzled him affectionately, hugging him once more.

"I love you too mommy." He smiled, kissing her cheek. "I'm going to go and check with Uncle Kanamé to see if dad is back yet." He announced, rising from the sofa.

Talia waved after her son and blew him a kiss. "Good luck sweetie."

He waved over his shoulder before exiting the house. Just as he made his way down the street to leave the Uchiha Prefecture, his father came into view. He was about the same height as his sire, and had his eyes. The only difference between the two was that Sanosuke had ebony hair. "Ryousuke." The elder greeted with a small smile. "Where are you headed?"

"I was actually looking for you, father." Ryousuke said. "Mom is feeling neglected by you. I was instructed to tell you to stop being such a meanie, and to give her some love." He nodded.

Sanosuke sighed. "Right…I was wondering how long it would be before I heard this speech."

"Wait…you knew?" the blonde man sputtered. "Dad! How could you put me through that? She looked all sad and pitiful…" he glared, pointing back at the house. "Go and tell your wife you love her. God." He huffed, walking off towards his own home.

The ebony haired man rolled his eyes, before entering his home. "Talia!" he called out, putting down his ninja gear and slipping off his shoes. "I'm home!" When he didn't get a response, he walked into the living room and found her sitting on the couch, crocheting. He walked over and sat next to her, but continued to go unacknowledged. Sanosuke held in a sigh. "Sweetheart," he murmured, reaching out and trailing a finger along her thigh. "I'm home. And I missed you."

"Did you now?" she huffed, continuing her work on her scarf.

"I did." He said, leaning in and nuzzling her neck. "I was thinking we could spend some quality time together."

This seemed to finally spark an interest in the blonde. "Quality time?" she repeated, arching a delicate brow.

"Mhm." He kissed her neck, nibbling on the area. "I have the next two weeks off."

"Really?" Something flashed in her expression as she leaned her neck to give him more room to lavish. "And I get to pick…whatever we do?" she whispered softly as his hand began its ascent to her core.

"Anything you want baby." Sanosuke murmured, rubbing her outside her clothes. He began to kiss along her jaw. "Just say the word, and I'll make it happen."

Talia smiled and let her yarn fall to the ground as they adjusted themselves, so he was over her on the couch. "Oh sweetie." Talia breathed out, cupping his face and kissing him deeply. "That sounds wonderful." She moaned, getting lost in the feeling of her husband. There was one good thing about his reclusive behavior, he always made it up to her. Tenfold.

She smirked as he continued down her now bare chest. Oh how she was going to have so much fun with the promise she'd just been given. After all, a vacation was better spent away from home.
