Enjoy.

O0o0o0o

Her eyes lighted up as she scanned over the choices available; biting her lip she narrowed them in consideration and indecision "Would it be possible to mix some?"

Smiling indulgently at the pregnant woman, her face obscured by her hat the waiter happily informed her that it was indeed possible.

"Great!" chirping Sakura quickly made up her mind and looking up started ticking off her food choices with her fingers. "I'll have the gammon steak with two runny fried eggs, pineapple slices, baby sweetcorn, a portion of ketchup, some mashed potato and gravy, please."

She smiled in amusement as she took in the now greenish tint to the young waiter's face as he wrote her order down, gulping as he asked "Anything else?"

"Oh can I have a hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows, a glass of Pepsi max, oh and can I get a hot chocolate fudge Sunday with sprinkles, twirled wafers, Cadbury flakes, marshmallows and some cherries." She chuckled happily as the waiter gave a jerked nod and ran back into the café holding his stomach.

"Having fun?"

Turning around in her seat green eyes met the dark blue eyes of Keiko as she walked towards Sakura's table, followed closely by Anko. "Always" the pinkette watched as the two older women sat down dumping a large book on the table and perused their own menus.

"So are you little friends joining us?"

"Ino and Hinata are joining us, TenTen is on a mission" Scowling at the purple haired jounin's sarcastic remark she wished the waiter would hurry up with her food so she could eat.

"Ma'am your drinks. You're fo . .food will be here shortly" smiling at the distressed waiter who interrupted them Sakura took a sip of her drink and waited as the other two women placed their orders.

Sighing in relief the waiter left carrying two considerably normal food orders.

They conversed lightly for few moments, talking about ANBU and the hospital until Ino and Hinata joined. Rolling her eyes Anko refused to budge to make room for the blonde forcing the two into chair pushing match that is until Hinata slyly reached out a hand and with a well placed chakra jab had the two women simultaneously grabbing their lifeless hands with the other. Their fighting quickly ended.

Anko turned amazed eyes at the lavender haired girl as Ino started to whine and Keiko held in the laughter that made her shoulders shake as she bit her lip.

Before Anko could say a word Hinata quickly turned in her seat and addressed Sakura coyly "It is good to see you looking so well Sakura"

Matching her smile for hidden smile and to the confusion of the other women she replied. "Your advice is very much appreciated."

"Stop right there. The Mouse just touched me without fainting and she's not stuttering. Explain" Anko growled as she pinned the younger Hyuuga with her dark eyes. This was the mouse, she always stuttered, always fainted and wouldn't say boo to a goose.

"Look underneath the underneath Anko" retorted Keiko a full blown smile adorning the dark haired woman's face as she watched on as Sakura and Hinata exchanged knowing looks.

"Tch, she still faints. But her name is Hinata, not Mouse." In her own insulting way Ino defended her friend. Like with Sakura she was the only one allowed to insult her friends, but she had to admit Mouse was a good nickname for Hinata. Looking carefully at Sakura, Ino had to agree. "Hinata's right, your glowing Sakura?"

"Mmmmm" was the non committal response to the blonde's accusation.

"Spill pinkie, what's going on? You look like you've had a week of nonstop fucking" Anko questioned not realising the similarity between Ino's and her own tone.

Seeing the pink haired woman smile seductively and her eyes darken in memory, Keiko groaned as she remembered her predilection to being tied up by her husband. Morino was her Commander, she did not want to listen to any stories about him and sex, she was lucky enough on the night they had gathered for a dinner that she had suddenly been called away on a mission thus missing the interruption that had the others running for safety.

"You did, you lucky bitch!"

"You went to Hinata for advice not me. Forehead!"

The outraged cries filled the outer sitting area of the café as Hinata motioned the wary waiter over and ordered herself a drink, ignoring the curious stares of the other customers around them.

Annoyed at the two's outrage and shouting but secretly looking forward to their reactions Sakura retorted "I did not go to Hinata" she waited for the penny to drop, Keiko's eyes widened in fear as Ino scrunched up her face in confusion and Anko started to ask if Hinata went to her. "Ibiki went to her."

She held in her chuckles and cooly sipped her drink as the women paled and Ino slightly gagged, the image of Ibiki going to Hinata was a very funny one and according to their reactions a disturbing one too it seemed. Meeting Hinata's gaze as she too accepted a drink and started to sip she decided to up the ante and enjoy the predicaments' of the women sitting around her.

"I really must thank you for the advice you gave him Hinata"

"As long as you are enjoying it I am happy."

"MMmmm, I just miss the handcuffs, being tied up, fucked against the wall, the fighting we had and of course the Kunai."

Even Hinata's eyes widened at the information Sakura divulged the stress on the word Kunai sending shivers down their spines as she got a faraway look on her face and her eyes darkened. Watching her shift in her seat the women felt slightly uncomfortable, yes they often talked about sex in graphic detail but sex and Morino Ibiki . . . . . it depended on your constitution. Yes he was handsome and anyone who had seen him shirtless would swear hand over heart that he was damn sexy scars and all. But he was the Head of Torture and Interrogation known for using his victi. . prisoners own minds against them, he hardly ever resorted to physical violence but his aura just screamed deadly. Not something very constructive to many women, he simply scared them off.

But if you asked him, they were just weak simpering fools out for a big named pull; a few words were enough to put them off, separating the weak from the strong. But even he had not expected his Hellcat to take over his life.

Scowling in the realisation that all her thoughts and estimations Anko started growling out angrily "Fuck it! I knew it. I knew he'd use hand cuffs and . . . . ."

Coming so quickly he would put a jounin to shame the waiter settled more drinks down as well as the table ware for the meal about to come as he cursed the fact he had agreed to cover this shift for the manager. Why the hell did he always get landed with the weird customers? Scuttling away something pinged in his mind as he watched the young pregnant woman remove her hat and run a hand through her shoulder length pink locks. Shaking his head he got back to work dismissing silly notions from his head.

Ignoring Anko's rant Sakura played with her hair twisting the strands between her fingers, lost in her thoughts as she sighed "God yes, it's amazing. The slow and gentle is lovely, god is it lovely. It makes everything deeper. Just staring into his dark eyes as he wraps his arms around me, slowly taking me, slowly and antagonizing pushing in and out of me as he kisses me. He is so careful with the baby and with me. Wrapping the sheets around us, just slow gentle lazy sex, it's amazing, he'll kiss every inch of me and stroke me like a cat, so much more than he used to, and when we're done and I can't move because he's reduced me to jelly he holds me so close and strokes my stomach feeling the baby move and kick until I fall asleep."

The deep gentle loving tone that came from the pink haired woman amazed them all. Yes they knew they were married but it had always seemed to be a result of explosive lust. Over the last two years the two had bickered nonstop prompting every one, shinobi and civilian alike to give them a wide berth when in the same vicinity. In the last four months since their relationship had been relieved this belief had been strengthened by their passionate kisses and love of scaring and unsettling the bejesus out of everyone. For the women who had not seen a husband comfort a pregnant wife a few weeks ago in hospital this was a revelation. It had them gobsmacked and extremely uncomfortable to hear such intimate details about their friend and husband.

But their stupor was suddenly broken as Sakura jolted awake and huffed out "But I still miss the serious fucking and damn do I want him to use the kunai on me!"

A sudden choking noise had the women looking concerned over at Hinata who shook her head and in unison made the women look around to see Naruto holding on to Sasuke as if for dear life. His eyes open in shock and his face as white as a sheet, the black haired shinobi was better at hiding his emotions but his unease at hearing the details of his so called sister's sex life was easy for all to see.

"Na . Naruto-k kun . . ar are you alr . okay?" Hinata asked cursing her stuttering as the nearest to the blonde felt it was her duty to ascertain his condition, which seemed worse every second as he clutched his head and suddenly shouted.

"Ahhh the images make it stop, make it stop!" his eyes closed in tears as Sakura shook with laughter while the other women shook heads and rolled eyes muttering at the over reaction of the knuckle head.

"Dope" suddenly the atmosphere tensed as the Uchiha spoke and Anko met his eyes, even Naruto felt it quietening down to a dull whimper. Narrowing her eyes Sakura pierced the two shinobi's body language, reactions and facial expressions with a hard emerald gaze as her mind whirled at a hundred miles an hour, so many possibilities she mused, promising to discuss this new behaviour with Ibiki and see were her assumptions correct.

"Shut up you baka!" the shrill cry from Ino at Naruto broke the atmosphere as everyone's gaze was drawn to the orange clad blonde now on the ground. Her heart aching Hinata stepped forward and took a deep breath as she fought a losing battle not to blush attempted to console the blonde.

"May . . .be if if you th think of ramen it wil will help Nar Naruto-kun"

The sparkling blue eyes that rose up to meet her startled her and caught her breath, the wide smile warmed her body and suddenly she stumbled as a six foot one blonde orange clad shinobi launched himself at her and hugged her tightly thanking and praising her for such good advice. Hinata gulped, oh god she could smell him, he smelled so gooooood and he was holding her, his nice muscular arms holding her and she could feel his hard body next to hers . . .

Releasing her Naruto took a step back and smiled at her, quickly waving his hands in the air and trying to catch her as her eyes closed and she slumped to the ground in a dead faint.

Watching the knuckle head frantically try to wake the Mouse, Anko turned in disbelief and in a scathing voice stated "Him, he makes her stutter and faint, that knuckle headed baka!"

"Boys make her stutter. He in particular makes it worse and makes her faint" Ino sighed to the older women as she explained to their understanding that a childhood of ridicule had made her shy of most men due to her father's influence. She had improved a lot, especially in the hospital where she was confidant in what she was doing but it still happened.

"Hellcat" the low greeting had every looking up forgetting about the Hyuuga on the floor to see Morino Ibiki looking at the group in amusement. His eyes darted over his fellow ANBU and his Hellcats teammates and friends who, apart from the unconscious were now shifting uncomfortably and not looking at him fully. Something was up.

His arms laden with the pregnant woman's order the waiter carefully made his way out to the table ignoring the curious stares of the other customers and the men that had joined the group. Hearing the Pink haired woman happily mention the arrival of her food he smiled at her only to stop. Instantly his face drained of colour as he looked in to the face of Morino Ibiki. Morino Ibiki what the hell was he doing here, his arms trembling he distantly heard the woman tell him to move so she could eat and heard the endearment he called her. Hellcat. Wait Hellcat! His head suddenly to and froing the waiter started to visibly shake as he realised the pinkette was Morino Ibiki's wife.

Ibiki watched on as the waiter turned white, shook his head and started to sweat and mumble in the space of five seconds. Suddenly he gave a scream dropping the food which Ibiki barely caught and ran off jumping over tables and chairs, pushing people out of his way to escape.

Looking at Anko he raised an eyebrow as he handed Sakura her food "Recognise him?" suddenly the light came on and Anko barked a laugh "He's the pipsqueak who ended up in the mental ward for six months after trying out for ANBU over a year ago , you had him crying during the briefing."

The chuckle that emitted from his lips had all but Sakura shift slightly away from him as he remembered what happened. ANBU and the shinobi of the village were better off without him. Turning his gaze to the lavender haired girl on the floor and the worried blonde Ibiki raised an eyebrow as Sakura explained, chuckling softly he motioned to a frightened Naruto to move.

"Be gentle Ibiki"

The warning tone of his Hellcat made him smile as he leant down and gently boomed to mimic a shout "Uzumaki get your clothes back on now!"

She shot up her eyes wide and excited as she looked for a naked Naruto "Where?" Chuckling grabbed her attention as she looked up to see Ibiki standing next to her. Her eyes narrowed as she realised what he had done, for once her upbringing and so called gentle ways failed her as her thoughts slipped shocking everyone. "Dammit"

"Hinata, you you . ." Naruto pointed a shocked finger at the lavender haired woman as she stood and went back to her seat. "Dobe" Sasuke drew his attention back to him and nodded at the Hyuuga in understanding. "Let's train".

Bubbling with excitement Naruto jumped in the air and said goodbye giving Sakura a kiss on the cheek as she ate her food waving a goodbye. Unable to stop himself and unsure why he did it except for the fact that she was now sitting next to Sakura, he bent and also gave Hianta a peck on the cheek the two instantly going red and stuttering a goodbye. Hinata was lost to the group in a daydream as the two men left to train and the others watched with Cheshire cat grins thinking it was about damn time.

Seeing the large book on the table Ibiki opened it up just as Sakura realised what he about to see and was pinned in place by a questioning eyebrow. Nobody does an eyebrow like Ibiki she thought momentarily distracted by the way his trench coat fitted his body and his black sweater moulded the muscles on his abdomen.

The gently spoken "Hellcat" brought her wandering mind and libido back as she looked into Ibiki's dark eyes as he sat on his heels before her. "Want to explain why you have pictures of Yamato naked?"

Ooops, she held in her own giggle. The reason they had meet up, to organise the revenge pictures into a nice album and show Ino and Hinata, and maybe just maybe figure out how to use it in the future. "If you turned the other page you'd see Jirayia trying to get away from the Doctor" she quipped lightly not showing that Ibiki's intimidation tactic had any effect on her and hopefully distracting him enough that he would let the subject drop. Pretty please.

Ibiki blanched at the thought of the doctor holding in a gag as his stomach repelled at the thought of that that Doctor in a bed . . . . . fuck bad trail of thought. With his mind beginning to bring up horrifying pictures of the Doctor he leaned forward and gently framed his Hellcats face with his hand and kissed her.

Even Anko could not resist the sigh that fell from her lips as the women watched Ibiki kiss Sakura, Keiko marvelled at the gentleness from him and Ino went red at the thought of the two of them in bed and what Ibiki would be capable of.

"Do you two always make out in café's?"

The familiar voice had the couple turning to look at the bearer of the voice, a tall brown haired young man who looked at them in amusement.

"Idate!" the happy cry had Ibiki turning around to help Sakura stand up from her low chair as Anko explained in hushed voices to the two women.

Standing up to hug her brother in law Ibiki took a step away from her as Idate came closer, only to stop in disbelief cutting off Sakura's questions and in a similar pose to Naruto point an accusing and disbelieving finger at the couple as he cried out.

"No, no no nono ooooooo! Not again! You can't keep doing this to me!! I don't see you for god knows how many years then you turn up and you're married, In Secret! Your wife ends up being one of the ninja's who helped me years ago and not only that she nearly destroys the bar by punching a drunk that touches her ass."

Taking a deep breath they thought he had stopped.

"Then you come back telling me you organised some big coup against the enemy and caught every one out. Now I find your sitting here in the open together. But if that's not enough you got her Pregnant!!!"

Idate tirade ended as he huffed angrily before he cut Ibiki off as he opened his mouth "Does her team know? Huh HUH. Do Sasuke, Kakashi and NARUTO know? Does your Hokage know?" this time he pinned Sakura with his eyes in accusation.

"Yes they know Idate" the pink haired woman tried to soothe her brother in law, her eyes bright as she led him to her seat and sat him down. The minute he sat down he collapsed his head into his hands and whimpered "You can't keep doing this to me"

Though enjoying the drama Hinata and Keiko pulled Ino and Anko up respectively and excused themselves from the table, gently moving the picture filled book off the table and into a bag. Taking in Ibiki's nod and Sakura's promise to call them later they left, HInata and Keiko dragged the other two away . Only promises of gossip and food quietening the two down.

Looking at the time Ibiki cursed but he had a prisoner to interrogate and a report to give. "Hellcat, I have to go. Look after him?"

Smiling at him his Hellcat nodded her longer locks of pink hair swaying gently. The pregnancy had made her skin glow more and her hair grow at a must faster rate, it was unexpectedly like this that it would hit him just how beautiful his wife was.

"How about I invite him over to dinner?"

Smiling back at her he agreed "Okay Hellcat, but remember no guest room, means no guest stays, means no interruption means . . . ."

"Stop stop stop. Please stop. I don't want to hear it" the muffled pleas came from the brown haired man as he covered his ears with his hands. Rolling her eyes Sakura agreed with Ibiki watching him as he left, his trench coat swaying as he strode off with people respectively, perhaps a little fearfully shying away from him.

Waiting for Idate to calm down and her sundae to arrive they started to chit chat until Sakura had an idea. Seeing the calculating gleam in his sister-in laws eyes Idate started to panic. "No, no way in hell, I've seen Ibiki with that look. Whatever it is no way. No way in hell!"

His protests fell on deaf ears as Sakura smirked and leaned in pouting slightly "You wouldn't do your pregnant sister in law a teensy winsey tiny little favour"

He was doomed.
