Shion enjoyed a lengthy shower where I dedicatedly scrubbed every inch of her, and a nice massage after it was over. I also ate her out one more time, leaving her on the bed with a wonderfully peaceful smile. If she noticed me grabbing the vase off her bedside table she didn't care enough to comment.

To be fair, I didn't even care enough to wonder what was inside. Drugs, money, evidence, could be plenty of things. I had greater concerns. Driving back to the lions den wasn't the most pleasant chore at the best of times, going right after a lengthy session with the heir's wife was just asking for trouble. Hell, maybe Hanabi had turned me in. I couldn't help but think deeply about the possibility as I pulled in.

Hinata trusted her, it's really the only reason I did. That woman was a damn devil, never had that been more apparent. She loved the kids I was confident, Hinata's and hers, I'd seen enough to know that. Still remember that day Unago came home with a few scrapes and bruises from a schoolyard scuffle.

Hanabi wanted blood.

In spite of just how scary that little de-escalation talk had been, I smiled at the memory. We'd shared some tender moments too, a scarce handful over the odd decade we'd been fucking each other. Most of them centered around our kids. Hell most of them happened at the hospital while she was still high from the drugs and hormones of childbirth.

What wonderful memories.

Surely she cared about me too, at least a little? Then again I'd been two-timing her beloved big sister for a long ass time. It didn't matter. There was no way to run from her without running from my family, and I wasn't willing to do that. Also besides, I'd already driven all the way up to the house.

Might as well see this through to the end.

Hanabi herself let me in oddly enough. She was dressed strange too, a far too large t-shirt and maybe something short under it on her legs. Her hair was in a messy ponytail and her gaze was tired. There was something else in those eyes though, that tint of sadism I'd seen a time or two, it made the victorious smirk she wore all the more frightening.

"Hey Hanabi!" I began cautiously, widening her smile slightly.

"Hey bro, you got the vase?"

"Yeah! Yep here it is," I began enthusiastically, presenting the plaster like a peace offering. She grabbed it delicately in both hands, then seemed to magically pop some small disc from the bottom of it. Her motions were so slow and sure, even now, walking around like a balloon about to burst. "So… everything alright?"

"Perfect," she said sharply. "Follow me," she demanded, creeping across the house at the minuscule pace to be expected from a woman in her third trimester. I shut and locked the door behind us, swallowing nervously when she lead me to the basement stairs.

If she was going to kill me that was the place to do it.

So suffice to say, I was not comforted when she picked a pistol up off the table beside that room. The concrete room with a drain in the floor. The one I'd been dragged into when I burst into the house naked carrying an unconscious princess after trespassing on their property.

Then the door opened and so did my mouth.

"Holy fuck, holy fuck Hanabi what did you do?!" I asked, looking over the two naked men chained to the wall, unwilling to take another step forward. She didn't answer me.

"Good news everyone, the tape's here!" she began with sadistic cheer, stepping inside and fiddling with the shitty TV setup in the corner. I couldn't see at my angle but before long the sounds started, familiar sounds, sounds that Shion made. Sounds that I made.

Neji's eyes slowly rolled over to stare at me, and despite how helpless he looked, I shook.

"Ha ha, yeah does she ever make noises like that with you? Oh and by the way, this idiot is the one who fathered my kids, not that douche-nozzle you wanted me to seduce," she said, turning that dark glare to her father in the other corner.

"You!"

Whatever insults he meant to speak I'll never know, Hanabi shot him in the shin and that ear-splitting noise woke me from my fear-driven daze.

"Hanabi stop! What- what are you-"

"Relax, dumbass," she hissed, finally turning her gaze to me. "This has been in the works for years, literately my entire life. It's under control," she insisted, silencing me.

"Why are-"

"WHY?! These bastards made my life a living hell! More importantly, they made Hinata's life a living hell. This one bashed her on the side of a skull with a candle stick once, she went to the hospital, almost died! This fucker made sure she felt worthless every day of her life, for about fourteen years! He tried to do the same to me, he tried to make me, as a fucking toddler, feel guilty about my mom dying in childbirth!" she spat out, so aggressively I even raised my hands up like a hostage.

In my defense, she was still just casually holding a pistol in her off-hand.

It was a relief when she turned back to the prisoners.

"I'm glad Hinata was able to forgive you, but I didn't, I never did. You're a monster. More than that, you're a fucking idiot," she spat, getting up in her father's face. "You taught me how to be a monster, how to plot and plan and kill, all while torturing my mother right in front of me every day! How did you not see this coming?" she asked, raising the gun.

"You're going to kill them?!"

"Of course not, no this is Hinata's ten-year anniversary gift from me. I convinced Neji and dear old dad to go live as monks in a monastery for a few months," she began, looking at me with the most patronizing look.

Two more blasts and it was only me and her in the room.

"Unfortunately somehow an enemy got wind of it, and assassinated them while they were there," she continued as if I wasn't hunched over in shock, trying not to vomit. "It's okay though, after all, I was the spare, I know how to run the family. I can take over all that nasty business, and with the Uchiha's all but neutered, there's nothing to threaten our little empire anyway," she continued.

"Hanabi… holy shit oh my god I can't-"

"-You absolutely can keep this a secret. Can you even imagine what it would do to Hinata to hear about this? Besides, they deserved it, and I can tell you a hundred more reasons why if you need them," she growled. "You will keep this a secret, yes?"

She waited patiently for me to answer. For the bile in my mouth to filter out and for me to finally stand up straight. It helped that she closed the door. That those two corpses were firmly out of sight.

"I won't tell her," I promised shakily.

"Good. Thank you Naruto, really," she said, tone becoming gentler as she placed a hand on my shoulder. Despite everything, the warm grip there felt so comforting. "It's all over now, as far as you're concerned at least. All the coups and the plots and the blood, it's all finished. Now you get to go home and live happily ever after with Hinata, and all your whores,"

The promise slowed my heartbeat just a bit, even with the snark she snuck in.

It was over.

And that's the end! Hope you all enjoyed my first full smut novel, thanks for reading and all the great feedback. I plan to continue with For the Good of the Village after a short break, at least assuming nobody joins my and votes for one of the other three options. And if you want some non-fanfiction smut by me check Macko Bole on the kindle store!
