Summary/Disclaimer: Time for another chapter of the Merc and the Medic. Enjoy the 1500-word chapter. I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto and a few others do.

(Konoha, restaurant)

Marmora continued to eat before he looked at Sakura which a hum while he twirled his fork.

"I knocked myself out using the Artic Armor, didn't I? I knocked myself out using it, I didn't think it was a family move…" He said, Sakura hummed and sighed.

"You… Yes, you did. Kuraokami contacted me when you passed out. I was trying to heal you." Sakura said. She didn't want to tell too much about information about what happened.

She wanted time to research more about Marmora's clan. She remembered that Kuraokami would contact them in a few days. Sakura planned to see if her Charka Control and medical abilities could prolong the time Kuraokami could stay and answer questions.

"I plan on throwing myself into controlling my powers and such. I doubt I can fight whoever I was fighting with that version of Artic Armor if I can't use my powers… I also can't even try and defeat Shin if I can't master Charka Control and make sure that I have Jutsu," He stated. He finished his food, wiped up his face and put his food to the side.

"You don't always have to be business, Marmora. You've been focusing on the next fight with Shin." Sakura said while she continued to pick at her food slowly.

"I… I just don't want something like you to get captured again. I ended up getting people hurt when I was careless as a teen and all that. I like messing with you, but Shin? He just creeps me the hell out, he has the most dangerous eyes, he was able to fight a Jonin like you and an experienced mercenary like me." He stated before he slowly started to drain his drink.

(With Shin and Boro)

Shin spied on the couple before turning to Boro. The Kara member crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.

"We could kill the girl now and take the host." Shin heard from him. Shin said nothing while he directed his spying creature to leave the restaurant.

"They are under the surveillance and protection of the Hokage. I could barely duel the Uchiha and his wife… The Aito boy might be untrained, but him and the Haruno girl are skilled as a team." He said, Shin didn't believe he had to point out that if they failed, they'd be dealing with Shinobi who could defeat both of them.

"Then have your clones separate them and let me take care of the brat." Boro said, he crossed his arms.

"You don't know him. I do. You might be the experience, but I'm the warrior who's engaged both of them." Shin said, he turned and walked away.

"We wait until we can capture them… Kara also wants the Hokage and his progeny alive. Your stronger than both of them, but not the Hokage and all the Jonin in the village." Shin said before he teleported the duo away.

(With Sakura and Marmora)

Marmora pulled out his wallet and paid for the bill before looking at Sakura.

He mentally did some counting and then he left some for a tip. He smiled.

"You know, if you hadn't made me think to get the bodyguard job? I wouldn't have been able to make backup money… I'm still going to be bone dry if I don't go and get more money soon." He said while he walked, arm in arm with Sakura as they went to go to the movie with Sakura.

He had made a small miscalculation and would have a little money left. He'd be working for over a year to replenish the amount of money he had spent on Sakura.

"You know, I can pay for the movie. I brought my own Ryo." Sakura said, Marmora hummed while the couple walked towards the theater.

"I'm not clueless enough to forget that the guy usually pays for the lady, Sakura. I don't mind paying; I don't really do anything with all the Ryo I earned during my life as an assassin. I have done jobs by myself, meaning all the money I made went to myself." He said, Sakura sighed, realizing that Marmora had been spending money left and right without stopping to try and earn any back.

"You aren't going to pay for anything for a while. I'm not having you go broke just because you don't care about all the money your spending." Sakura said, she was reminded of her old master, even if Marmora didn't gamble at anything… to her knowledge.

"I will, just relax though. You're the one wanting me to chill when it comes to Shin. Sakura, did you always get mad as a kid?" He asked, Sakura groaned while the waited in line for the movie theater.

"I used to get ticked all the time and I doubt I have control over my temper still. Marmora? When your teammate is an idiotic clown that doesn't have the maturity of a Chunin? You tend to snap, I used to get mad and break things any time I broke things all the time. I don't get mad that much anymore, getting ticked in combat makes you sloppy if you don't focus that anger." Sakura explained. Marmora nodded and crossed his arms.

"We all have our flaws we try to outgrow, Sakura. I know one of my flaws is not thinking all my plans through." He stated, he pulled out the money to buy the tickets.

"We can go star watching tomorrow. It will be too late for you to get any sleep for your job and you're be exhausted for training tomorrow." Sakura stated. Marmora chuckled.

"Ok, now you're making it sound like we're married." Marmora said with a hum before Sakura elbowed him in the ribs.

He grunted but continued to smile which caused Sakura to roll her eyes.

"You're a damn idiot." She muttered as they paid for the tickets.

"Storm of the Shinobi…. Great, totally wanted a movie made about Naruto and team 7…" Sakura whispered to herself.

"You know I can hear you still, right?" He asked while they walked into the theater room.

"You're still going to talk with Kuraokami when he shows up in 2 more days?" Sakura asked. Marmora nodded.

"I think we have a lot to talk about. He knows about the future? I want to know what he can tell me about the past… About my clan, about my parents." Marmora stated, his voice almost a whisper while they took their seats and waited for the movie to start.

"You know we're going to be fighting Shin again and he's going to have backup, right? I don't think I can fight Shin and even more experienced people at the same time. I was barely able to land a few hits on Shin and that's probably because he hadn't expected me to be able to put up much of a fight." He put in, Sakura sighed and slowly rested her head on Marmora's shoulder.

Marmora blinked with shock before looking at her. Marmora slowly raised his arm and when Sakura said nothing, put it around Sakura's shoulder.

"You going to talk the whole night?" Sakura asked, Marmora rolled his eyes and settled in to watch the film.

Both Marmora and Sakura knew the movie would suck and not be much good. They were watching a movie about one of the best- and well-known teams of Shinobi in the entire world, they would probably milk it for all it was worth it.

Neither Marmora nor Sakura said anything as the credits started to roll. He sighed and turned to look at the screen, knowing the film was going to suck.

Marmora blinked while the film started to play, they rolled their eyes and sighed with annoyance while the lights dimmed.

"I swear this is going to suck worse than a Wind Style Jutsu." Marmora muttered while the couple cuddled up to each other. Marmora looked at Sakura.

He knew things would get a lot tougher, but he was enjoying the night so far. He gently pulled Sakura closer to him, she said nothing while she smiled slightly and hummed while snuggling her head into Marmora's shoulder. She looked at the smiling Marmora.

He didn't know what would happen with their relationship down the road. He also didn't know about the massive battle in the city and a battle that would show how powerful Marmora was.

Author Notes

Phew, another chapter done! I'm not trying to rush the romance or make Marmora seem unstoppable. I'm going to make Boro and Shin tough to beat. Next chapter is going to be the end of the date and show Marmora and Sakura growing closer romantically. I want to also point out despite being a god? Kuraokami isn't going to be stronger than everyone. Next chapter will be tomorrow or so and will show Marmora and Sakura enjoying the night at their home and Shin and Boro's plan. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
