Closing the door behind him Ibiki walked into the centre of the room, nodding his head at Tsunade he turned towards the visitor as he said "I take it you're not here for a social visit'

Her eyes darting between her Head of Torture and Interrogation and the man before her Tsunade took in their stances and inwardly huffed 'Damn men and their secrets'.

"I'm afraid not." The older man replied shaking his head as he looked Ibiki up and down taking in the ANBU uniform as the younger man folded his arms in front of his chest and waited for an explanation.

"Maharani is stirring up trouble with you in mind. Apparently word has it that he has dirt on you."

Ibiki raised an eyebrow about to question the older man when suddenly a loud, ear-splitting screech filled the air and the door banged open clattering off the wall and coming off its hinges.

"What in the HELL is this BITCH doing here?" Sakura seethed as she dragged the woman painfully in by her hair on her knees and threw her forward to hit Tsunade's desk and slump to the ground with a strangled yelp.

Standing up behind her desk Tsunade looked down at the red headed woman groaning as she clutched her head. Seeing her eyes open and look at Sakura with malice she decided to sit down and enjoy the show, she would be told everything in the end and as long as Sakura didn't hurt herself it was fine. She wouldn't mention the fact that it kept her from doing any paper work.

"Hey look it's the fat cow!" Naoma snapped as she looked up at the fat pink headed bitch that had broken her hip, three ribs, dislocated her shoulder and given her a serious concussion. Standing up she spied her sexy captive "Damn you nearly look better dressed than you do shirtless" she said to Ibiki her eyes roaming his tall muscular body licking her lips as Tsunade smirked at the flames in Sakura's eyes as she reached for her trustworthy sake. Ibiki and Sakura were nearly even in their possessiveness of one another. Oh what a nice break from the paperwork.

Quickly snatching the red headed bitch by her hair again Sakura pulled her back and hissed into her ear "Look at him like that once more and I'll make sure you never see another man again."

Raising his eyebrow at the unusual amount of evil tone in his Hellcat's voice, Ibiki felt slightly proud that his hellcat was so possessive and also realised by looking at the tension in her body that she was dying for sex. She was horny, antsy and pissed off. It was going to be a fabulous night.

"If you would please ask you subordinate to release my daughter Ibiki,"

The quiet rumbling brought Sakura's attention to the older man in the room, casually dressed she spotted at least five points where weapons were being hid, it was obvious he was an experienced shinobi his body just as ready to attack as it was to relax depending on the outcome. His hair was an extremely distinguished salt and pepper with a similar goatee framing his face, his skin was weathered and his hard brown eyes looked at her with mild amusement as he took in her pregnant stomach and anger as he watched his daughter being manhandled.

Seeing Ibiki slight nod out of the corner of her eye Sakura none to gently shaked the red headed bitch as she flung her backwards toward the older man and walked to stand beside Ibiki.

"She is not my subordinate." Ibiki stated.

Watching the woman pick herself up Ibiki thought it was time for the introductions "Hokage-sama, Hellcat this is Uitachui Chin, Rocks Head of . . . . my equivalent." He finished knowing the older man's preference for no titles. "Chin, you already met the Godaime and this is . . . . "

"Little wifey's disgusting bump got even bigger I see" Naoma interrupted the introductions as she sneered in the direction of the pinkettes bump.

"I am going to kill you, you bitch" Sakura swore and struggled to punch her as Ibiki wrapped his arms around her extremely careful of their baby. "Chin this is my wife Sakura" he said as he whispered to his wife until she calmed down and he slowly released her.

Stroking his goatee in thought Chin looked at the woman by Ibiki's side. She was tall, dressed in a long white flowing dress with a large black trench coat she exuded style and the beauty of pregnancy, her pink locks framed her face drawing attention to her magnificent bone structure and her piercing emerald eyes that were filled with fire as she directed her gaze to Naoma.

"I see." He mused out loud. "You remember my daughter Naoma."

Ibiki looked at the woman standing next to Chin as she attempted to puff out her chest. "She's a far cry from the sweet little Oma." He replied to his Hellcats obvious satisfaction as she wrapped an arm around his waist and leaned her head against his chest contently.

"I grew up" she smirked as she none too subtlety ran a hand down her curves to which even Tsunade snorted at.

"Unfortunately losing all of your appeal" Sakura snapped back viscouslouly, her claws fully out and dying to sink her teeth into this bitch. "Hmm a pity." Ibiki agreed.

"Oh shut up you . . . ." Naoma stopped in mid thought the information she had received just hitting her as she looked at her sexy captive and her father's raised eyebrow. Oh oh. "Ibiki as in Morino Ibiki?" she questioned with a face that on a three year old would be considered adorable but on a 20 year old was simply stupid.

Sakura looked at the red headed girl only a few years younger than her and felt like smacking her head against the wall. Was she really this bad? "You interrogated him without asking him his name?" she cried.

"I . . . I . . . he didn't tell me."

"It's one of the first thing's you do during an interrogation!"

"Perhaps you need to go back to basics Naoma?" Chin interrupted the two women's foreseeing the screaming match that was to come. He was surprised that Ibiki would marry such a woman, he had thought a woman more similar to Ibiki would suit the younger man, calm, focused, knew her duty. Instead it seemed the man had married a pink headed girl who liked to scream, not that he was denying her beauty.

"Perhaps she's just not suited?" Sakura offered enjoying the look in Naoma's eyes as she goaded her.

"And what the hell would you know about interrogation you pink headed bitch, you're probably a weak useless kunoichi only used to . . ."

Naoma's words were cut off in a flash as Sakura stepped forward and grabbed her by the throat. She took a wider stance than normal to accommodate her stomach but the effect was not lost as her eyes turned as hard as the beautiful colour they represented. At the same time Ibiki stepped forward and restrained Chin from helping his daughter. "Your daughter needs a lesson in manners. Hellcat won't kill her. . I think." Ibiki informed the older man as Chin raised an eyebrow at him looking over the pink headed girl 'Hellcat' who so easily held his daughter with one hand wrapped around her throat.

"Let me say this clearly in case you've forgotten who broke your hip, shoulder and ribs Naoma!" Sakura seethed as her aura turned dark and filled the room, this bitch had crossed the line and it was obvious she needed a lesson in manners. "I am Morino Sakura, formerly known as Haruno Sakura, apprentice of the Godaime, second ranked medic after the Godaime herself, Head Medic of the ANBU division, member of Team Kakashi and the Konoha 12. I specialise in poisons and antidotes you little fool and killed Sasori of the Red Sands. "

"Hellcat" the low warning came from Ibiki just in case in her anger she let something slip that she didn't want anyone to know. After their little coup the elders had been updated with Sakura's abilities. The ones she was happy to tell them about anyway.

Gritting her teeth at Ibiki's warning Sakura quickly finished "If you want to call me weak and useless do but only if you are prepared to back it up and fight me you little bitch." On the last word she released Naoma's throat and before Naoma could blink she pulled her fist back and walloped her in the jaw with a resounding crack happily watching as the red headed woman fell to the ground with a moan.

Raising her eyebrow at Chin as she passed she easily walked into Ibiki's embrace quipping "See I didn't kill her. I just broke her jaw." Smirking and giving a little chuckle that would send a shiver down your spine Ibiki kissed the top of her head possessively "That's my Hellcat."

Looking down at his daughter as she cradled her jaw Chin turned a calculating eye on the pinkette who in the space of a minute had changed his opinion of her, especially as it was revealed that she was the one responsible for Naoma's injuries. Listening to Ibiki promise that once the baby was born she could do whatever she wanted and use all her chakra Chin raised his eyebrow in speculation 'That was without chakra? How much damage could she do?'

"Actually Sakura, you have surpassed me." Tsunade grabbed their attention a little smile playing on her lips as the trio in front of her and the mess on the ground looked at her. "I haven't had anything new to teach you in years, you've refined many of my techniques and continue to develop new poisons and antidotes."

Sakura beamed at the public praise as Ibiki proudly squeezed her arm."Thanks Shishou."

"I also got the damage costs from when you destroyed the buildings in the market square." She continued.

Sakura immediately took a step away from Ibiki not caring how childish she seemed, pointed a finger at him and cried "It's all his fault!"

"How the hell is it my fault? You're the one who actually tore up the market square." Ibiki argued amused.

"But it was your plan!" Sakura defended.

"I didn't actually tell you to bring down the buildings now did I Hellcat?"

"You knew what I was going to do you Bloody Bollocks." Sakura argued her eyes taking on a gleam as she began to enjoy herself.

"Enough!" Tsunade shouted rubbing her temples with her fingers as she sighed, Jesus she wasn't sure which was better them fighting bef . . damn they'd been doing this for about 3 years and it still annoyed her even when she knew they were married. Looking at Chin she inwardly grumbled 'Great another one who thinks we're crazy.'

"The council has agreed to pay for the damages, mainly out of Danzou's remaining estate." She informed them taking a drink of sake as she sat back.

"Huh" Sakura mused a snort gaining her attention as Chin shook his head in amusement.

"An interesting story behind that I believe Ibiki." he prompted interested in hearing all about their drama and how these two people got together. Any woman who could stand toe to toe like that with Ibiki was definitely more than meets the eye, despite or in spite of any reputation she might have.

"Disturbing is more accurate" Tsunade corrected him. "Let's get to the point shall we?"

Looking down at his daughter he inwardly sighed 'Interrogation definitely wasn't for her. It seemed his love for his daughter had clouded his head to her true abilities. They would definitely be having a chat once they were home. "Naoma apologise."

"Vhat!" her surprise coming out gargled as she protested looking in disbelief at her father.

His eyes stern he repeated himself "Apologise for your behaviour and for attempting to interrogate Ibiki." He kept his eyes locked with her until she mumbled a half hearted apology as she clutched her jaw.

Ordering her back to the lounge she slowly made her way out until Tsunade called out. "Shizune! Fix her jaw and get those Chunnin's to fix my door." The dark haired woman who with a group of Chunins had been hovering at the doorway watching the drama sprang into action acknowledging the 'but leave her in pain' signal from Tsunade.

Thanking Tsunade Chin turned towards Ibiki looking questionably at Sakura happily leaning against his bigger body.

"I have no secrets from my Hellcat." Ibiki stated inwardly thinking 'now anyway'. To both Sakura's and Tsunade's amusement.

Nodding his head in understanding and his respect for the pinkette raising a notch, not many shinobi couples could have or survived having such an equal relationship, there were just too many clearance level differences between some, Chin began to explain.

"Apparently Maharani has dirt on you, or whatever information he needs to finally decide that he can take you on."

"Who's Maharani?"

Answering his Hellcat's question and also addressing his Hokage Ibiki explained "A thief I met when I was in Itakona with Tazeko. He had shinobi training from his father who was a known S-Class missing ninja at the time, something I didn't know until afterwards. He broke Tazeko's rules and when he and his cousin tried to get revenge I was there to help Ko. Unfortunelty his cousin didn't understand Chakra burn; he attempted a jutsu that he lost control of burning the place to the ground."

"That was when Ko rebuilt his pub." Sakura interrupted. "He told me one person died and another was extremely injured."

"Maharani blamed Ibiki for his cousin's death and his burns, swearing he would get back at Ibiki." Chin finished and with a sigh continued pointing at the couple in front of him "I think she is the information he has."

His comment elicited an animalistic growl from Ibiki as he wrapped his hands protectively around his Hellcat and child swearing nothing would touch or harm his family while he could still breathe.

May God or Satan hear his promise. Nothing was touching his family.

Dia Duit,

And there's the plot sneaking in. I really hope you like this chapter, I was of two minds about it but felt happier with this version. Hopefully Sakura is not shown off too much but I think it's important to 1. Let the red headed bitch know who she is dealing with and others know she's more than meets the eye. Imagine Chin as Sean Connery with the salt and pepper hair.

Hopefully you enjoyed the chapter and as always please let me know what you thought.

I was too impatient so all mistakes are mine and sorry to BoxingBunny07, I will but up the corrected chapter when I get it.

Lots of love,
