Chapter 38: Is something amiss?

Jiraiya didn't what to say to get his ass off the hook this was worse then getting into trouble with his wife and to top it off this was his wife Team-mate and closest friend and he couldn't lie to him not on his life! "Look Shikazu can we talk were it's more let's just say were it won't make a scene in front of the villagers." Jiraiya said with a sweat drop.

Shikazu didn't say anything, but followed Jiraiya just to the outskirts of the small village "Shikazu I know you're pissed at me and for a damn good reason, but I was basically dead a good friend of mine from a ways back that I met when I was traveling saved my life and well he told me I couldn't return and I'm going to return, but this village needs me for awhile so I can't leave just yet, but can I ask you something?" Jiraiya explained

Shikazu sighed and dropped his arms and then stuffed his hands into his pockets, but didn't lose the face " What?" he asked

"How's Emi?" Jiraiya answered knowing the answer wouldn't be good, but had to ask anyways.

"She's miserable practically deep in depression without you next to her I've never seen her like this not even when Mikoto and Fugaku were Murder did she falter her personality, but with you it's like her whole person is gone and the Emiko we all know and love is gone she's accepted that you died, but deep down I know she still believes you're alive and is recovery somewhere" Shikazu replied Jiraiya heard that and he lowered his eyes to the ground his eyes hidden and his heart torn.

"Oh Emi I'm sorry I...Shikazu I don't think I deserve to go back to Konoha." Jiraiya said bluntly his hands balled into fists in anger at himself and not to anyone else.

"You don't a fucking choice! Jiraiya Emiko needs you more then anything her brothers are going on trial and they might never see the of day outside a prison cell for the rest their lives and Sakumo he's obtaining more and more of your abilities than Emiko's and she wouldn't know the first thing on how to train him to use them properly unless she sought out your parents!" Shikazu said he knew he was being rough with Jiraiya, but it couldn't be helped he was about ready to drag Jiraiya back to Konoha if he had to.

"Shikazu my life is basically nothing right now " Jiraiya replied

"Your life is filled with Sakumo and Mikoto laughter and they need you just as much as Emiko needs you!" Shikazu shouted

Jiraiya cringed at that, but remained were he stood until he felt a hand on his shirt collar and felt his feet leave the ground and being dragged "Shikazu let go of my shirt!" he said

"No!" was all Shikazu said and continued walking Shikazu continued dragging Jiraiya until 2 miles away from the village.

"Alright I get it let's get home" Jiraiya said placing his feet to the ground and walked ahead of Shikazu.

I had finished cleaning up the living room when the front door opened and I turned in that direction and the duster hit the floor Shikazu stood there, but behind was my husband and I tossed Shikazu aside and jumped into Jiraiya arms throwing my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. My lips found his and he gave into my rampage of kisses my fingers tugged at his hair and his hands roamed every inch of my body. Shikazu stood there annoyed the two of them were blocking the door, however, the kiss ended as soon as it begin and I lowered to my feet was on the ground again and I slapped him and tears came.

"How come you didn't come home straight away! Naruto is devastated and Sakumo is sad even though he doesn't show he is I know he is and what about Mikoto she would've grown up without knowing who you are and me I've been sulking about in tears thinking you were dead! Not only that, but the whole village thinks I shouldn't be trusted because my two brothers came home and are facing trial soon." I said beating onto his chest I noticed he must've pulled me to him while I was talking I heard his heart beating wildly and and I stopped hitting him.

"Emi...I'm sorry I really for the last few times my mind has been towards you and our children hoping you were safe and out of harms way I...thought that I had failed you when I didn't defeat the leader and I've always had strength because of you" he said gripping my chin and making me look at him in the eyes.

"I love you my perverted Hermit" I said gripping onto his shirt he gave off a hearty laugh

" I love you too my black rose" he said kissing me once again

"I really hate to ruin this reunion, but we have to be somewhere Tsunade needs to know Jiraiya is alive" Shikazu said

"Can't it wait til tomorrow I'm tired from the journey here" Jiraiya responded his face did show it Shikazu sighed

"It can wait, but only until tomorrow." he said "and take good care of Emiko okay" he finished saying

"will do" Jiraiya said and Shikazu left after he was gone Jiraiya grabbed my hand and guided me to the backyard and we sat down in the middle of the yard and I looked up.

"oh wow look at all the stars we are blessed this day " I said leaning into him and lacing my fingers with his. He could tell all saddness was wiped from my features and a wide smile on my lips, but also knew tomorrow was going to be a long day at least for him.

Shikazu reached his home and walked in was greeted by Tsundae in the living room still awake "What you doing awake Tsu?" he asked coming into the living room and sitting down on the couch next to her.

"Waiting for you" she said and kissed him pushing onto the couch his lips nibbled on hers and she responded by opening them so he ravaged her mouth with tongue. His hands reached the hem of her shirt and pulled it off and heard her giggle he smirked and kissed her neck loving the way she was moaning that caresses he was doing with her breast at the mercy of his hands.

Eventually Shikazu figure away to sit up and pick her up and carry her up the stairs to their bedroom. He placed her on the bed and leaned over her and felt her take off his glasses and kiss his lips hungrily and tugged his vest and he took it off and she pulled his shirt free from his body and laid her hands on his chest and abdomen he lowered his head and his mouth fixated on her one of her breats while he was working on releasing her pants free and she helped him through the pleasure she was feeling. Her pants came off and so did his as well as the underwear he entered her and she arched her back to him whispering his name lovingly, but also demanding.

He collapsed after hitting his climax and felt Tsunade fall into a peaceful sleep and that lured him into a peaceful sleep as well.
