Chapter 7Help Me Make It Through The Night

Iruka kept Ino's hand in his, he could feel her trembling, she was scared. He decided whether the villiage need babies or not he wasn't rushing her, she had a bigger adjustment than most, he'd been her teacher and now he was her husband. He felt this wasn't fair, but he could see why Tsuanade had done it, there were more girls in the advance rookies a few years after Ino, but for some reason there's had only had the four in hers. So many guys and just a hand full of girls their age, and so many of the jonin who had died were women, his generation had lost alot of their potential brides. Atleast the ones who went on the kunoichi path, and many civilian women didn't like their children becoming ninja, he understood the future problem better then most. And he knew with the Hokage taking these girls off the market it forced the young men to take a look at the girls younger then themselves, where they had a larger selection. He should feel lucky he had been included, looking down at Ino, he had to admit, he did feel lucky. As the ceremony and paperwork was finished up, he rubbed Ino's arm right above their connected hands, Ino looked up at him to see what he was thinking, he smiled and whispered in her ear, "How about we get out of here and go to Ichiraku and get some lunch, maybe talk a little." Ino licked her dry lips, this morning had thrown her whole world into chaos, before she thought it through she replied, "Sorry Iruka-sensei, I have a shipment of flowers that need to be inventoried, they arrived fifteen minutes ago, and Dad will be mad if they start wilting, before they're counted." The confused Iruka looked at his wife before it dawned on him she was slightly in shock. He let his other hand go up to her cheek, before he told her, "Ino...that's no problem, I'm off for the rest of the week, I'll help you and that will give us a chance to talk to your parents and maybe pack some of your things." Watching to see her reaction to this idea, he noticed her confused look and knew exactly when her mind grasped what he meant. "Oh sensei, I'm sorry, really I just need to talk to my Mother...soon, please." His brow wrinkled with worry, Inoichi had come to him when Ino was his student, he worried that she was seeing all the things men, and women thought, including the sexual and sick things some people thought. Iruka, Inoichi and Ino's mother had decided to let the girl come to them unless she seemed to be having difficulties, Iruka only knew that she had indeed had to talk to her mother when she got near the chunin exams, but as to what was said or how well it went, he was in the dark. He hoped she wasn't this scared about the physical side of marriage. Yes, slow was the best way to go.

About ten minutes later they were walking through the door of the Yamanaka Floral Shop. Inoichi looked up from the carefully packed boxes of chilled blooms trying to untangle the stems without damaging the flowers. "Ah, Iruka, did you need something special, you sure are out early today, something happen at the school?" Iruka was about to respond when the father noticed their joined hands and his daughter's melancholy expression. "Ino, are you alright, baby, no body got hurt did they?" Inoichi knew she had a meeting with the Hokage but they had all assumed it was just a mission. Ino seemed to be lost and looked up at Iruka, "Go ahead and talk to your mother Ino, I'll talk to your dad." his former student seemed to look very relieved as she half ran into the back in search of her Mother. "Inoichi, no one is hurt but I need to talk to you, it's serious, let me help you with the shipment, and I'll explain."

Ino ran through the door and seeing her Mom she rushed over and wrapped her arms around her waist, "Mom, I'm married, and I don't want him to think I'm a slut and I don't think I'm ready for this, he's being sooo sweet, and I just don't know..." the confused woman just wrapped her arms around the shaking girl trying to make sense of what she'd heard, "Married...? But...how?" She was stroking the long blonde hair out of Ino's face, and taking her cheeks in her hands she lifted her face, "Baby, slow down, just tell me what went on this morning, I take it it wasn't a mission." Ino drew in a shaky breath, and nodding she started at the beginning and told her mother everything, even how gentle Iruka was being, "And I'm scared if I do anything that I've seen he'll think I know about it because someone else showed me how, or I've done it before with some other guy..." with this she let out a large sob and dropped her face into her mother's lap. Unbeknownst to her Iruka and her Dad had come in about half way through, Inoichi looked at his wife he felt like his blood line had been something great but now he saw the downside and how it was affected his baby. Iruka looked at Ino's Mom and she just kind of shrugged, she too didn't know what to do. Iruka went over and gently peeled her from her mother and hugged her to his chest, "Ino you don't have to worry about doing anything with me until you are completely ready, I've known for a long time about the problem you've had. And I will never think less of you for something you can't help. If you need to talk to me, your mom, or your dad, anytime, just tell me. O.K?" She looked up at him, here was one man she knew she could trust, only Asuma who had been killed and her Dad, had her trust like Iruka did, Shika and Choji were here team members and she trusted them with her life, but these men she could trust with her heart. She started nodding and hugged him. "And sweety could you do me a favor?" Ino looked at him and sat up a little, "What Sensei?" He chuckled, and begged, "Please can you call me Iruka, I really don't want my wife to call me sensei?" With that they all started laughing and the sad atmoshere seemed to melt away.

After helping her parents with the shipment and packing a few of the things Ino considered necessary, they got ready to leave. Ino's parents watched as she left with her husband, missing their only child already, but they knew she was safe with Iruka and she could even continue working at the shop, which guaranteed they would see her on a regular basis. This helped them feel better, they also knew their grandchildren would be helping the villiage just by being born. As the young couple left Ino's mom kissed both of them on the cheek, which caused the handsome teacher to blush, he had a family again.

Ino set down the boxes she'd been carrying on a small table just inside the door of her new home. Iruka turned around to close the door after he put down his boxes on the floor near the couch. Ino looked at him, and he said, "I know you've visited before but why don't you look around, you'd probably like to see more then the living room and the bathroom, which I think you've seen before." Ino laughed nervously, "Yeah, thanks that would be nice." Iruka wanting her to feel at ease, smiled and replied, "Well be as nosey as you'd like this is your home too now, I'm going to check a few things and call Icharaku's to order us some dinner. Is pork ramen alright?" Ino smiled and answered "That sounds great,... Thanks Iruka-sen... I mean Iruka" She started to wander through the small house that was located near the school, Iruka had lived here when she was a student.

As she went down the hall she saw the bathroom door and passed it going to the one across the hall, she opened the door, it was a cute kitchen, small but not to little. The colors were a pretty light sage green on the walls, and had several ivory cabinets both above and below the smooth wooden counter top. Therewas afridge, a stove and a white enamel sink with a white enamel dish drainer all in one piece. Over near the window there was a small table and and two chairs. It was perfect, and she loved it. Knowing she had more to see, she went back out of the door and headed to the end of the hall, there were two more rooms so she chose the one on the left and opened the door. Looking around she knew this must be his office, papers were stacked neatly and he had shelves full of books, she read a few titles and thought it would be nice to read some later, Iruka had a big stuffed leather chair and a small table with a lamp in the corner. Ino pictured herself sitting here reading while Iruka graded papers, the mental picture was comforting and not frightening at all, she was so glad that if all this had to happen she had been paired with Iruka. Turning to leave it dawned on her that the last room had to be his bedroom, she took a deep breath and she went across to enter the bedroom, it was a medium size room, with a large dresser, a twin side bed and a small nightstand all in a rich old mahogany wood. She liked the curtains and bedspread, but the bed was too small for two people...tonight she would be sharing that tiny bed with Iruka, she swallowed, and closed her eyes.

She let her mind go, seeing herself laying on her side shoulders bare, her hair down, a dark arm wrapped around her waist his hand resting between her breasts, his body nestled up behind her. Ino shivered she could almost feel his erection pressed against her bottom, and his chest cradling her back, their legs intertwined. She let her head fall back and sank into the feelings flooding her mind, the soft grind of her own hips pushing back into him, his hand coming up to cup her breast, while his cheeks with morning stubble scratched her kneck as he pressed kisses to the spot right behind her ear where her hair has fallen back when she turned into his kisses. "Ino the food will be here in a moment..." Iruka said as he entered the room, She shot up and gasped loudly, Iruka dropping to his knees put his hands on her upper arms looking directly into her arms, "Ino...I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you..." Ino looked at him and nodding no managing to reply, "Oh Iruka it isn't you it's me..." Iruka pulled her into his lap and rocked her like a child for a moment until she could turn to him and say, "Iruka it's me... my mind, I keep seeing, feeling things, I want you to know I have never been with a man, I've been kissed but I couldn't let it go any futher. My mind, I can see things that men want to do, and sometimes when they think of me I can feel it." Iruka suddenly knew what had happened, he had thought of her in his room dreamed of finally waking up with a wife to hold and love, while he had been ordering their dinner and he had a feeling she'd seen it all. "No that's where your wrong! It's our fault, men, my fault, I'm sorry bibou. I was thinking of it being nice to wake up with a wife, it was my fault, because it was my dream you were seeing and for that I'm sorry." Ino laughed, 'ok, now I'm confused' thought Iruka, and she started really laughing and looked at him, "Oh Iruka, it's not the seeing it, I do that all the time, it's just I feel guilty because, you see, it is me, I want to feel it, do it and taste it...taste you...it's me, I am a mental slut, don't you see." Iruka who turned them around and leaned back against the bed pulling her against his chest to talk in her ear. "Ino did you know in some countries men have there wives trained in how to please them from the time there old enough to have a menstral cycle, with their hands, lips, tongues, willing to let their husband do things to them whether they themselves enjoy it or not." He sighed and shifted slightly trying not to respond to the firm body sitting in his lap, and continued, "these girls, are forced to learn things by lessons, on eunichs, men who are unable to take their maidenheads, atleast physically, but mentally these girls have knowledge way beyond their years." he sighed, "Ino I know that you know things, and yet, no one but me will ever touch you, it could be a horrorable thing, or I could accept it as a gift, because, those men can think of you but I, ...I will be able to touch you, taste, you, watch you grow with my child under your heart. I, Ino, will get to love you, if you will let me." Before she could respond they heard a knock. Iruka stood up lifting her with him and laid her on his bed to go to the door.

Ino sat there thinking, they were his desires, and he thinks my wanting to do things is good, he is so understanding, and he wants to love me...'Kami I feel so blessed'. And as he returned Iruka saw her crying again but this time she was smiling. "Iruka could you please... please, kiss me?" Iruka smiled, walking over he lightly pressed his lips to hers, he felt her lick his bottom lip, and he deepened the kiss wrapping his arms, aound her and she put her arms around him but cupped his butt and pulled him against her to grind her hips into his. He moaned and let his hands wander up her waist to cup her breasts his thumbs making circular motions, Ino moaned and then bit his lip lightly and then quickly licked it and suck away the sharp pain. Iruka was getting painfully aroused, and moved his young blonde wife back until she was laying down she raised her hands into his hair pulling out the band that held it in place. As his hair fell around his face she pulled back and looked into his opening eyes, "Iruka..." he was breathing hard and gasped, "Yes, shan..." She smiled and pressing a kiss to his lips, replied "Let's eat I'm hungry." He rolled over off of her to lay on the bed, she jumped up and ran into the kitchen. 'Man I hope she isn't feeling my thoughts right now' he thought. He stood up and groaned as he adjusted his erection, food was not what he wanted. With a grin he said, "This is going to be a long night" Raising his head, he prayed to Kami for patience 'Just please, let me make it through the night - without jumping my wife's bones and hopefully she'll jump mine'. Laughing he headed to the kitchen to eat his dinner.
