Hyuuga Hiashi and Tsunade. I have no excuse for this. Done... just because
"Hokage-sama, Your ten-o'clock is here."
Tsunade just gave a slight nod to acknowledge her assistant. Within moments, likely, the chair across from her would be occupied. He was never late. In fact, if he showed up 'on time', he considered it late. She always made sure to look like she was busy fifteen minutes before the appointment.
As she anticipated, the head of the Hyuuga clan stepped into the office, closed the door, and sat down in the chair. A billfold sat in his lap. Trivial nonsense. It gave off the air that this was an official meeting. As always, her door was locked out of a long-practiced habit.
Naturally, they got to business right away. He gave suggestions about finances, postings, and other such things. He became an honest advisor to her. He had good suggestions, and he was easy to deal with now that he had relaxed some. Sometime during the course of the briefing, the sake came out. Tsunade reveled in the knowledge that he only drank with her.
By the time the meeting made it to it's half-hour mark, the briefing was forgotten, and the contents of Tsunade's desk were scattered on the ground. They were never caught, but really, who would interrupt someone like Tsunade having a tryst with someone like Hyuuga Hiashi?
It didn't matter than he was getting along in years. He was still considerably attractive to the woman. And it didn't matter that she was nine years older than he was. She felt and performed far better than any girl twenty years younger than her, he surmised. At this point in time, with arranged meetings and cleared schedules for several hours after his appointment, it was one of those secrets in Konoha that everyone knew about, but chose to look the other way, and 'forget' about.
Two hours of the morning were put to good use, and when it was all said and done, Tsunade was back in her chair, healing any unintentional bruises on her body, and Hiashi was being a gentleman and cleaning up the mess in her office. They finished going over what he had brought, finished their sake, and with a respectful bow, Hiashi unlocked the door and made to leave.
"There might be something amiss with the academy funds, Tsunade-hime, but I will have to check to make sure there's enough funding for the students this year." The suggestion would have been lost on anyone else.
