3 DAYS UNTIL THE CEREMONY
I woke up and sent a message to the other two Leahs to meet me in the living room so that we could merge back into one body. As soon as I heard two doors open I rose up from the bed, threw on my nightgown and made my way to the living room. I stood between the other two Leahs, close enough that our bodies were flush against me with one in front and one behind. I released the jutsu and slowly felt pressure and a tingling sensation as my body absorbed the two back into me. I took a deep breath and let it out and when I turned to head into the kitchen and start breakfast I saw all three men watching me.
"Good morning. I'm just heading into the kitchen. Anyone else hungry?"
"Breakfast can wait. I want to know how you are feeling."
I walked toward Kakashi and gave him a hug.
"I'm well-rested and loved by all of you. I'm perfect. Do I need to run a couple of laps around the house to prove to you that I'm full of energy?"
Kakashi kissed me on the forehead.
"No, just take it easy today. Okay?"
"All I have planned is for a relaxing day at the spa and hanging out with my sisters while we do some shopping and a lot of catching up."
Kakashi smiled. I looked over at Genma and Tenzo.
"Do either of you have any concerns about my stamina to handle the activities I have planned for today?"
I walked over to Tenzo who smiled and gave me a hug while he shook his head.
"No. Have fun and I'll see you around suppertime at your parent's house. They have me busy all day taking care of numerous tasks. One of which is a final fitting for my ceremonial robe."
Tenzo placed a gentle kiss on my cheek before he released me and headed out to my parent's house. I walked over to Genma who wasted no time in pulling me into a strong hug.
"I figured I would be lucky to get a peck on the cheek this morning. Now that I know why you were acting that way yesterday, I'm not worried about it." I smiled. "You more than made up for the lack of physical contact during the day with all the attention you gave me last night."
"I just wanted you to know how happy I am to see you looking so well rested after last night's activities. I was worried after getting you off the third time that you would be exhausted today. I just couldn't help myself from touching every inch of your body over and over. The next three days will be a challenge, but the nights are going to be fantastic."
As we walked into the kitchen, the phone rang. I answered it. It was my mom. Genma walked over to the counter and poured three glasses of milk and took them into the dining room while I talked with her.
Our conversation was brief and I hung up the phone, turning back to Kakashi and seeing him put the finishing touches on the breakfast he had made. He handed a bowl to me before picking up the remaining two and letting me walk thru the door ahead of him into the dining room. He placed one bowl in front of Genma's chair and the other in front of his. Genma pulled out my chair, I sat down and placed my bowl on the table and he helped push my chair in. While we ate, we talked about everyone's schedule for the day.
"So which one of you gets the task of escorting me around town with my sisters while we do girly stuff or can I manage this on my own today?"
"I believe I get the pleasure of walking you to the spa this morning and Genma will be escorting you around town this afternoon while you do the shopping."
"Our plans have changed. We won't be going to the spa until this afternoon around 4 PM. My mother and Tsunade couldn't make it there until then. My sisters and I are going to do the majority of the shopping this morning."
I was hopeful that the change in plans might have Kakashi rethink the need to escort me everywhere. I loved walking with them, but it was getting a little tiresome.
"Not a problem. I will be happy to escort you three lovely ladies around town and carry your bags. I'll bring them home with me after Genma meets up with us at lunch."
"It won't bother you just sitting around all day while we try on clothes and ramble on with all the girl talk?"
"I rather like the idea of a fashion show. Will there be a visit to the lingerie store?"
"You will get to escort us as we do our shoe, accessory, and some general clothes shopping this morning Kakashi. Genma will get to help me at the lingerie store this afternoon right before we head to the spa."
"So the items you are looking for are they related to the upcoming ceremony or something for everyday wear?"
"A little of both. My sisters are looking for items for the ceremony. But my mother has my wardrobe almost finished. It's always the same thing, with only a few personal touches added depending on the parties involved. I'm just looking for an outfit to wear the night before the ceremony when we go out for some fun at the bar."
"And the lingerie shopping?"
"That is for my sisters. Not me. I have more than enough lingerie."
We finished breakfast, cleaned the dishes, took showers and headed out the door. We all walked side by side to my parent's house. My sisters on the front porch met us. I gave Genma a kiss and let him know that I would call him closer to lunchtime so he would know where to meet us.
With a sister on each side of me, Kakashi walked quietly and happily behind us. Luck was on our side and we were quickly able to find the matching dresses that Kia and Jade would wear at the ceremony. We then focused our attention on our 'party' attire. We all agreed to wear mid-thigh black skirts and cotton blouses each of a different color. Kia chose purple, Jade chose red, and I chose a navy blue shirt. We found accessories- stockings, combs for my sister's hair for the ceremony, and finally the perfect heels to go with each outfit.
We were so successful that we had plenty of time before meeting Genma. Kia and Jade returned home to drop off their items and get Genma while Kakashi and I headed back to our house to drop off my packages and order the lunch that Kia, Jade and Genma would pick up. We still had plenty of time so I decided to throw my new outfit in the washing machine and paint my nails.
"Kakashi, were you able to get my nail polish the other day?"
"Yeah. I can get it for you."
Before I could object his need to do every little thing for me, he had already darted to the room, retrieved all the necessary supplies and returned to the living room. I offered my hand to take the many items from him but he kept them out of my reach and a loving grin appeared on his unmasked face.
"Would it be ok if I help?"
"If you want to sure. That's nice of you to offer. How about I remove the old stuff on my hands while you remove the polish on my toes?"
"Sounds like a plan."
I pulled a tissue from the box, folded it and applied the polish remover to the tissue before handing the bottle to Kakashi. He watched as I rubbed the tissue on my nails with great fascination before doing the same to his tissue and starting on my toes. His hands lifted both of my feet and placed them in his lap; I leaned back on the couch cushion and watched as he removed the polish with each loving stroke. Soon all the old polish was gone and as I made my way to the bathroom sink to wash my hands and toes, Kakashi threw away the smelly tissues.
I returned to the living room to see Kakashi ready and waiting with a pumice stone and lotion. I hadn't even thought about doing that to my feet but he seemed so eager that I let him take care of that while I rested on the couch and watched him. I decided to apply the clear polish and had done so to the third finger on my left hand when I let out a moan in response to Kakashi rubbing lotion on my recently buffed feet. He looked up from having his attention focused on the task at hand and smiled. Whether Kakashi had a foot fetish or not, it didn't matter. All I could think about was how good his hands felt on my feet. I was starting to get aroused. I refocused my attention back to finishing my nails while Kakashi gently placed my feet on the couch and went to the bathroom to wash all the lotion off his hands. He returned just as I was placing the cap back on the bottle. He lifted my feet again, sat down, returned them to his lap and then offered his hand to take the bottle from me. As soon as he had the bottle, I began waving and blowing on my fingers to help them dry faster. Kakashi's focus was completely on painting my nails. He didn't look up until he had finished both feet, screwed the cap back on the bottle and placed the bottle with the other supplies on the floor. He lifted my feet with both of his hands and brought them up to his mouth so that he could blow on them to help them dry. When the first breath of air flowed across my toes my body gave a jerk and my foot nearly pulled out of Kakashi's hand. My reaction brought about another grin on Kakashi's face. Dirty thoughts were racing thru Kakashi's mind. He was pleased with himself at how his attention made my body react but just as quick as the grin appeared on his face, I saw it change to regret. He knew he was turning me on and that we didn't have time to go further before lunch. He placed my feet gently on the cushion after he rose from the couch. He began collecting all the items and was going to return them to their proper place. I reached out and grabbed his arm to keep him in the room.
"Kakashi, I will be okay. Maybe it is the herbal supplement helping or maybe Mama Nada was wrong about what is causing my pain. I think maybe it is stress. Thank you for all your loving attention. Would it be greedy of me if I asked you to help me out like that again in the future?"
"It isn't greedy to want that. Especially since it is something that I have wanted to do for some time. I really didn't realize you would react the way you did and in turn how it would affect me. My dad always said showing a woman how much I love her with routine tasks in daily life had a much deeper impact than any words said. My mom always looked at him with such love, especially when they would do simple things together."
I pulled him toward me and he bent down and kissed me. We were so wrapped up in the kiss that we didn't notice the three other people in the room until my sister Kia cleared her throat. We pulled apart and Kakashi pulled up his mask and left the room to return the items to the bathroom. I rose from the couch and walked over to Genma, wrapping my arms around him and gave him a hug.
"Would you like help setting the table?"
He gave me a smile and a kiss on the cheek.
"No, you give your sisters a tour of the house. I'll take care of this. But thanks for offering."
Genma headed into the kitchen while I led them around the house. Kakashi met us in the hallway and said he would take care of putting my clothes into the dryer and that lunch would be outside. We made our way to the back yard and seated ourselves around the table. As soon as Kakashi joined us we began eating. My sisters and I chatted during the meal while Genma and Kakashi sat and ate quietly. I would look at them occasionally and saw that they were enjoying just being able to witness the silliness that the three of us could bring out of each other. When we were finished, Kakashi said he would take care of cleaning everything up so that we could head out to finish our shopping. I gave him a kiss goodbye and we headed to the store.
"I hope you don't mind we asked Sean and Aaron to meet us at the store. We figured Genma could help you narrow down which of the many selections we make that will end up going home with you."
"You just want time alone with them since I'm sure you haven't been able to for more than 5 minutes since you arrived home."
I turned to Genma and judging by the smile on his face, I knew he was more than happy to go along with their suggestion. Genma went to join Sean and Aaron near the fitting rooms while we went around the store and my sisters loaded up my arms with multiple outfits. The saleswoman escorted each couple to a private dressing room that included a small waiting area with a chair, a full length mirror, and a curtain covered area with a bench and a rack where the items to be tried on could be placed. I noticed Genma had given the large collection of clothing a good look over and apparently at least one item caught his attention.
"I hadn't really planned on buying anything but go and pick out a few that you really want me to try on. My sisters picked out some of this stuff just to keep us busy. They want to use the time to molest their fiancés."
Genma quickly pulled out his two choices and placed them on the left side of the rack. Not surprisingly, they were both red. I also noticed the comfy pj combo sets that I had picked out were pushed to the far right away from his selections. He headed back to the chair and sat down while I added a couple selections myself. I removed my clothing and placed them on the bench and tried on the red and white spaghetti strap top with matching pajama bottoms that had hearts on them. I walked out behind the curtain and wasn't surprised to see a brief glimpse of disappointment on Genma's face.
"What do you think?"
I stopped a few feet in front of him, turned and gave my rear a little shake.
"It's cute."
"This is the perfect thing if I get to have a sleep over with my sisters."
I headed back behind the curtain, took off the pjs and put them back on the hanger. I tried on a red-skirted garter thong with a nude shade of hose and a red push up bra. I removed the remaining selection of clothes that I was not intending to purchase or even try on and used them to hide what I was wearing.
"Since I won't be trying these on, could you place them on the table outside the room for me?"
Genma stood up, walked towards me with outreached arms and easily accepted the heavy pile from me. When he finally saw what I was wearing he smiled before turning and quickly taking the clothes over to the door, opened it, and placed them on the table. He returned to his chair and sat down. I stayed just out of his reach and let him admire the view before I felt his hand catch my arm and stop me.
"Don't you want me to try on the corset you picked out?"
"No, I'd rather spend the next hour or so rubbing and kissing you."
I felt his hand unhook the hose from the garter thong and removing the hose from each of my legs slowly, caressing my skin with his hands. He slid the thong off of me and gently spread my legs farther apart. His face was against my womanhood and he began to kiss, lick and suck my skin. I felt a shiver run through me that caused my legs to buckle a little. He moved me towards the bench so I wouldn't have to worry about falling over.
As soon as I sat down, he positioned me so that I was lying completely back, he lifted my legs and hoisted each of them over his shoulders and returned his attention to my aroused flesh. I felt his tongue slide into me. My hips instinctively began to buck. He continued providing the attention that had my legs twitching and my hips rocking against his mouth until I reached my release. He wiped his face with the sleeve of his shirt before pulling my face to his for soft kisses. I made room for him to join me on the bench and he wrapped me in his arms.
"This is much better than helping me try on clothes. I don't want to stop but…"
"You don't want to have them come knocking and finding you like this."
"Exactly."
I got dressed, added the red push up bra and garter thong combo to the items I was purchasing and we left the fitting room holding hands. It wasn't long before my sisters and their fiancés emerged from the dressing rooms with a blush on all their cheeks. We made our purchases and then headed for the spa.
Micah greeted us at the reception desk with an eager look on his face.
"Before you ask Micah, yes you are invited along with the rest of our brothers, Sean & Aaron to attend the screening. It will be tomorrow afternoon. Also, can you arrange for enough tables to be reserved at that bar you play at the evening before the ceremony to accommodate our large group for a night of fun."
"Great! I took care of planning everything when Mom shared the good news with me this morning. She and Tsunade are already in the women's dressing room."
"Thanks. I'll see you later."
I turned to Sean, Aaron and Genma.
"How about we meet out here in a couple of hours?"
Each couple kissed and parted heading into the appropriate dressing room.
As soon as I turned the corner and saw Mama Nada, she didn't even give me time to ask her if she would allow and perform the ceremony.
"The answer is yes. I only have one request—that you allow me to give you presents both as your godmother and the Hokage."
I wrapped my arms around her and gave her a hug, "As if I could stop you."
"Good then let's get in the spa and get down to the details."
Everyone undressed, headed toward the women's side of the communal spa and got comfortable in the water.
"Mama Nada there is one thing that I would like to request of you as Hokage. Could you arrange it so that all three men are given some time off from long missions so that we can improve the chances of pregnancy?"
"I can guarantee a month paid leave for all three of them with absolutely no missions at all. After that I will assign missions that only take a day to complete. I plan on keeping extended missions assigned to any of the three down to a minimum and as Hokage I will take whatever steps are necessary to encourage the rebuilding of Konoha's population. Your happiness is the most important reason, but the endless possibilities of the skill sets that your offspring will have with any of these three men is ample reason to allow such a request. Even if none of your children wish to become shinobi, they will have talents that we want to keep in Konoha."
We heard Genma's voice over the wall dividing the men's and women's spa.
"One of those skills will be the ability to charm the pants off anything alive because they will be too beautiful to resist."
The entire women's side of the bath erupted in giggles. Looking around I noticed Kurenia and Ayame had been seated opposite us chatting as well as Hana Inuzuka and Anko to the left of us.
Anko jokingly yelled back over to Genma, "You are not that charming and we haven't seen Kakashi's face."
Genma replied, "Not because of us. Because their mother is gorgeous and has that skill!"
More giggles erupted along with a few 'awws'.
I knew Kurenia and Ayame had already been invited to the celebrations before and after the ceremony by way of Kakashi inviting Asuma and Iruka but I wanted to include Anko and Hana as well.
"The ceremony is for family only, but you all are invited to attend the party we are having the night before and the reception that will go on most of the afternoon at my parent's house."
Kurenia and Ayame let me know that they would be there along with their significant others. Hana let me know she had a date planned for that night but was certain that he would enjoy attending as well. As we were finished with our soak, I rose from the water and moved over to Anko to find out if she too would be joining us. She had a dazed look on her face as I approached so I placed my hand on her shoulder and shook her a little until she was looking up at my face.
"Come on Anko. A night of singing and dancing—you know there will be plenty of guys and if you don't find anything that tickles your fancy—you can always dance with me."
Anko snapped out of whatever she had been thinking about.
"Oh yeah. I'll be there."
2 DAYS UNTIL THE CEREMONY
The morning was spent greeting and helping family that had come in for the ceremony settle into the various rooms at my parent's house. All three men were so busy introducing themselves and trying to keep track of how each new person they met was related to me that they didn't have time to argue about the afternoon's activities and the fact that for the first time in several days, I wouldn't have one of the three of them escorting me everywhere I went. Kakashi promised that the dogs would remain scattered around outside my family's house and out of the way so that people wouldn't be tripping over them. Pakkun took it upon himself to be glued to my side as I directed a collection of 10 nephews and 5 nieces complaining about not being included.
"I know you are disappointed about the ceremony. But ladies, I really could use all your creative minds and organizational skills to make sure this place is beautiful and everything goes as planned here while the ceremony takes place. And gentlemen, what would these charming ladies do if we didn't have such strong young men to help move everything around? Tadashi you are the oldest so I really would appreciate your help keeping track of the younger children."
He gave a reluctant grunt.
"Trust me, do you really want to be forced to dress up in an uncomfortable suit and sit through a long speech where you have to watch adults kiss not once but three times?"
He agreed with me and promised he would make sure everything went as planned. Tadashi directed the children to an area of the yard where they could help out with the minor details but not be in the way of the adults who were setting up chairs and tables.
I turned away from watching them to see my three men walking towards me. I noticed that Genma and Tenzo were guiding a visibly shaken Kakashi towards me. Kakashi's eye was wide open as if he had received some horrible shock.
"What's wrong? Is he having second thoughts about leaving me here?"
Tenzo shook his head as they stopped with Kakashi in front of me. "No. Kakashi is confident in your safety."
I placed my hand on Kakashi's cheek and looked at Genma. "Then why does he look this way?"
Genma chuckled, "Your Aunt Nia."
"Is Gai and Uncle Tobu here as well?"
"No, Gai had to leave, but not before Kakashi was overwhelmed."
Kakashi's voice was shaken. He looked at me pleadingly.
"Matching…outfits."
I gasped. "They didn't!"
Genma shook his head "They did. Apparently Kakashi was under the impression that Gai's unique fashion sense came from his biological father. That is until your Aunt set him straight on how she always looked forward to family gatherings because it gave her the opportunity to dress her boys up in matching outfits."
I cupped Kakashi's face in my hands and directed his eye to mine, "I promise to never make you wear father/son outfits…ever!"
My promise brought Kakashi back from his horrified state and allowed him to enjoy the screening with Genma, Tenzo and all of my brothers. No one mentioned a word about the movie during dinner at my parent's house as Adrian was giving every male that attend a look that said, 'mention that trashy movie and see what happens'. It wasn't until we arrived back at our home and were getting ready for bed that the topic surfaced.
"Did he think no one would notice the resemblance?" asked Genma.
Kakashi replied, "Maybe he was counting on the fact that no man would be insane enough to mention it to her."
"Whose image was soiled?" I asked.
Kakashi hesitantly offered, "An actress with a non speaking role has some of Tsunade's features."
Before Genma had time to think about it he chuckled and added, "Non speaking only because every scene she is in some guy's cock is jammed…". He stopped talking when he saw the look on my face.
Tenzo's eyes shot daggers at both men as he wrapped his arms around me and comforted me. "The girl had large breasts and a diamond on her forehead. She didn't have the Hokage's hair color, eye color or facial features other than the diamond. This girl was way younger than the image the Hokage likes to make everyone believe. They are seeing more into this than anyone else would."
I pulled away from Tenzo and headed to the bedroom. All three of them followed and watched as I opened the drawer in which Kakashi kept his favorite reading material and flipped through the pages until I found a few illustrated pages and the image of the character that I thought they were referring to and handed it to Tenzo. "Did she look like this?"
"Yes. That is exactly the character that was in the movie."
"Tenzo's right. He wasn't thinking of Tsunade."
Jiraiya is a dead man.
Kakashi voiced the question that all three men were thinking,
"Do you know the girl that was the inspiration for these drawings? This character wasn't in the original book that the film was based on. She only appeared in his second book. It came out about 6 years ago."
"I told you that girls do silly stuff when they get together. Well, on several occasions my sisters and I would practice using a henge. And the image we used was Mama Nada's."
"Please show us your henge of Tsunade."
I transformed into the exact likeness of Tsunade, including every last detail from the top of her head down to her toenails.
"That's too good of a henge to confuse it with the character in the book."
I dropped the henge.
"I'd really appreciate it if you wouldn't say anything about this to anyone. Especially Tsunade, Jade or Kia."
All three men agreed. Tenzo and Genma seemed to be satisfied and were getting ready to leave the room to get ready for bed. I could tell by the way Kakashi looked at me that he wasn't finished. Before they left the room, Kakashi brought up a point that stopped them in their tracks.
"Your henge is the perfect likeness of Tsunade. Your sisters have five years of experience on you and I'm sure their henge work is pretty close to Tsunade's likeness as well. They did after all go on your journey with you to help teach you many of the techniques you needed to learn. However, 6 years ago I imagine yours wasn't quite up to par with theirs nor was it as perfect as it is now. Would you care to show us what it looked like back then?"
My facial appearance became the exact likeness of the character in his book. My body changed to a slightly smaller sized chest and hips.
"When I first started practicing henge the only thing I could get close to looking like her was the shape of my face and her diamond. But even then it didn't compare to how good my sister's henge was. I had a hard time changing my tri-colored hair into blond. It usually ended up being blond with pink or black streaks. He apparently changed the hair color entirely. I'm guessing this was one of the reasons why he was so interested in having us pose naked for him after my curves fully developed. He wanted to use images of my real body instead of some made up one. He never once saw me without my clothes on. Once my mom warned him, he gave up."
Kakashi wrapped his arms around me and I dropped the henge. He rubbed my back and kissed my forehead.
"I always wondered why the character's face didn't match the body he drew for her. I guess that's why she is viewed mostly from the shoulders up. I will ask him to remove this character from all future books and movies. I'm sure he will do so quickly and with little objection since he wouldn't want me to mention this to Tsunade."
"You three promised not to say anything."
"I will always keep my promises to you. However, he won't know that I made you that promise."
Genma was agitated. Tenzo placed a hand on Genma's shoulder to draw his attention away from his anger at the thought of me being the muse that inspired this character.
"We will keep our promise to you as well. Won't we Genma?"
"Of course."
1 DAY UNTIL THE CEREMONY
After another blissful night of sleeping in the arms of each of my men, I had planned on waking up early so that I would have everything packed and ready for tonight as I would be escorted to my parents house and not returning to change for our night of celebration. However, that didn't happen and so I was still folding and packing everything I would need when Tenzo came to check and see if I was ready to go. My fathers scheduled appointments for my men to have a heart tattoo surrounding an "L" placed above each of their left breasts for the ceremony tomorrow and it was getting close to the scheduled time.
"Sorry Tenzo. I should be ready to go in a few minutes. Are we pushing it too close to when you three need to meet up with my dads?"
"It's ok. They wisely put in a couple of hours padding from when we really need to meet them out of habit from Kakashi arriving everywhere late."
"I'll be sure to let them know it was me not Kakashi this time."
Said man appeared at the door with a smile on his face.
"I appreciate your offer to set the record straight but you don't need to. Somehow I don't think that me being ready this one time will make much difference and it might even confuse them into thinking that I have changed my ways. We wouldn't want that."
I finished placing my newly purchased items from the lingerie store into my bag and pulled the zipper of my bag closed.
"Okay. I'm ready."
Before I had a chance to pick up my bag, Tenzo slung the strap over his shoulder. Kakashi took my hand and led me out of the house onto the porch where Genma was waiting. Genma took my other hand and we all leisurely walked to my parent's house. When we arrived, Tenzo handed my bag off to Aaron who placed it in the room my sisters were sharing. We agreed that everyone in my family who would be attending the party would meet at our parent's house for dinner before heading out to the bar. Kakashi, Genma, and Tenzo had to take care of one last secret thing that they wanted to do before the party and were not sure how long it would take. They thought it was best if we ate without them and they would catch up with us at the bar. My parents decided to stay at home and entertain our many family guests that came in from out of town who chose not to come with us to the bar.
By the time we sat down at one of the many reserved tables for our group, I heard my brother Micah on stage asking all the lovely ladies in our family to join him in singing a song. He knew that Kia, Jade and I would go up there if he asked but some were more hesitant. Each of us took the hand of several of our sister-in-laws and led them up on stage. As we began singing 'Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves' it loosened everyone up and soon more and more ladies were joining us even if they were still in their seats.
Kia and Jade sang 'That's Not My Name' as I made my way back to the table to get a drink in preparation for the solo I knew Micah was going to have me sing next. While I waited, I kept an eye out for my men. Kia and Jade were finished and leaving the stage before the waitress came by so that I could order a drink. I heard Micah calling me back up to the stage.
"I want to ask my baby sister to get up here and sing us a song. This party is for her and her soon-to-be husbands who just walked in the door."
I turned toward the door to see them making their way to the table I had just left.
"Perfect timing guys. Now Leah can let everyone here know how she feels about you."
I rolled my eyes at Micah as I took the microphone from him.
"Thanks Micah. I hope you were planning on letting me sing something appropriate and not something raunchy." I whispered into his ear.
He replied, "Of course. How about "The Way You Love Me?"
I smiled and nodded my head in agreement as they began to play. While I waited for the introduction to finish, my eyes locked on Kakashi.
'If I could grant; You one wish; I'd wish you could see the way you kiss; Ooh, I love watching you; Baby; When you're driving me crazy. Ooh, I love the way you; Love the way you love me; There's nowhere else I'd rather be; Ooh, to feel the way I feel with your arms around me; I only wish that you could see the way you love me; The way you love me.'
My eyes shifted over to Genma who was standing next to Kakashi and showing me his beautiful smile.
'It's not right; It's not fair; What you're missing over there; Someday I'll find a way to show you; Just how lucky I am to know you. Ooh, I love the way you; Love the way you love me; There's nowhere else I'd rather be; Ooh, to feel the way I feel with your arms around me; I only wish that you could see the way you love me; The way you love me'
My eyes gravitated further to the left and I met Tenzo's gaze. He mouthed 'I love you.'
'You're the million reasons why; There's love reflecting in my eyes; Ooh, I love the way you; Love the way you love me; There's nowhere else I'd rather be; Ooh, to feel the way I feel with your arms around me; I only wish that you could see the way you love me; The way you love me; Ooh, the way you love me; The way you love me.'
I made my way off the stage as Micah egging the audience on.
"I know all you guys are heartbroken that she is taken, but give her another round of applause so she will grace us with another song later.'
The applause grew louder and Micah's smile wider. "Until then I hope you will settle for me."
I made it back to the table just as Micah began playing 'I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You' and sure enough Kakashi pulled me out on the dance floor just as Micah began to sing.
'Maybe it's intuition; But some things you just don't question; Like in your eyes; I see my future in an instant; And there it goes; I think I found my best friend; I know that it might sound more than a little crazy; But I believe; 'I knew I loved you before I met you; I think I dreamed you into life; I knew I loved you before I met you; I have been waiting all my life'
We reached the middle of the dance floor, he turned toward me, pulled me close and we began dancing.
''There's just no rhyme or reason; Only this sense of completion; And in your eyes; I see the missing pieces; I'm searching for; I think I've found my way home; 'I know that it might sound more than a little crazy; But I believe; 'I knew I loved you before I met you; I think I dreamed you into life; I knew I loved you before I met you; I have been waiting all my life; A thousand angels dance around you;'
Kakashi whispered in my ear...
'I am complete now that I've found you'
and then kissed me as we danced.
'I knew I loved you before I met you; I think I dreamed you into life; I knew I loved you before I met you; I have been waiting all my life'
We danced to the next song as well and when it ended Kakashi led me back to the table where Tenzo had a drink waiting for me.
I took a couple of quick sips then gave Tenzo a kiss.
"Thanks Woodsy. I really needed that."
"Take your time and catch your breath but as soon as you are ready to go again, I would like to have the next slow dance with you."
"I would like that too."
Several quick paced songs had the crowd excited and it gave me plenty of time to catch my breath. I was surprised when I heard Micah call Aaron up on the stage.
"We are going to slow things down a little now and I'm going to ask my future brother-in-law Aaron to come up here and sing a song to Kia."
Tenzo positioned us to a comfortable spot on the floor where I could still get a good view of Aaron as he sang on stage. We rocked back and forth slowly as the beautiful sound of Micah playing his guitar filled the room.
'To really love a woman; To understand her - you gotta know her deep inside; Hear every thought - see every dream; Give her wings when she wants to fly; Then when you find yourself lying helpless in her arms; You know you really love a woman'
We were joined on the dance floor by several couples in our group but the one that I was most pleased to see was Kurenia and Asuma. I caught Kurenia's eye and exchanged smiles.
'When you love a woman you tell her that she's really wanted; When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one; Cuz she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever; So tell me have you ever really - really really ever loved a woman?'
Tenzo pulled me closer, nuzzled his face in my hair.
'To really love a woman; Let her hold you - till you know how she needs to be touched; You've gotta breathe her - really taste her; Till you can feel her in your blood; Then when you can see your unborn children in her eyes; You know you really love a woman'
He placed a soft kiss on my ear.
'When you love a woman you tell her that she's really wanted; When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one; Cuz she needs somebody to tell her that it's gonna last forever; So tell me have you ever really - really really ever loved a woman?'
He whispered, "you feel so good in my arms."
'You got to give her some faith - hold her tight; A little tenderness - gotta treat her right; She will be there for you, taking good care of you; You really gotta love your woman'
I pulled back and guided his mouth to mine. We softly kissed through half of the next song before breaking our embrace and making our way back to the table.
I was sitting between Genma and Kakashi and leaned my head against Genma's chest.
"You getting tired?"
"No, just felt the need to be close to you."
He wrapped an arm around me and gave me a squeeze. "Feel free to do that anytime. So is it my turn next to get you out on the dance floor?"
I looked around the tables and could see that everyone was having a good time. My sisters had decided it was time for some girl dancing and went from table to table gathering our female friends and dragging them to the dance floor as the songs became more up-beat.
"Sure how about..."
Before I could finish, Kia and Jade snagged my arms and pulled me away from the table to join the large group of girls dancing. We wiggled and bumped against each other to the music making sure to make eye contact with the guys that were left at the tables just daring them to come out and join us. I had started looking at Tenzo, but knew he wouldn't step foot out there with a pack of girls—especially Anko who had positioned herself a little closer to me than I had imagined she would. I looked at Kakashi and could tell he was rolling over the idea of joining us in his mind. I knew as soon as I made eye contact with Genma that he would be out there with us. I waited for the perfect song and was rewarded when Sean sang 'Hey Soul Sister'.
'Heeey heeeey heeeeey'
I was rocking back and forth, extended my arm, made eye contact with Genma, pointed to him and then motioned my finger for him to come here. He was making his way towards us before my hand had time to drop back down to my side.
'Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains; I knew I wouldn't forget you; And so I went and let you blow my mind; Your sweet moonbeam; The smell of you in every single dream I dream; I knew when we collided you're the one I have decided;
Who's one of my kind'
He positioned himself behind me, much to Anko's displeasure, and matched each movement of my hips.
'Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo; The way you move ain't fair you know; Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight'
He wrapped one arm around my waist as we danced.
'Heeey heeeey heeeey'
'Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one track mind like me; You gave my life direction; A game show love connection, we can't deny; I'm so obsessed; My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest; I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna; And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind'
Genma growled the words 'blow your mind' into my ear as he ground into the backside of me.
'Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo; The way you move ain't fair you know; Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight'
The hand of the arm wrapped around my waist took a hold of mine and spun me around twice before stopping to face him.
'Well you can cut a rug; Watching you is the only drug I need; So gangster, I'm so thug; You're the only one I'm dreaming of; You see I can be myself now finally; In fact there's nothing I can't be; I want the world to see you'll be with me'
He pulled me close to him as we did a slow swaying dip down and back up as he pressed his hard body against me.
'Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo; The way you move ain't fair you know; Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight; Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight; Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight); Heeey heeeey heeeeey (tonight)'
As another up-beat song came on Kakashi joined us. I was sandwiched between him and Genma as we rocked our bodies in time with the music. I would take turns facing one man while the other was treated to my backside rubbing against his crotch. Our movements were uniform and perfectly synchronized. People were clearing the dance floor so everyone could admire the way our three bodies moved in harmony with each other's. It wasn't until Micah introduced Sean again for another slow song that Kakashi leaned in, gave me a kiss, and returned to the table.
Genma and I danced slowly only briefly when he suddenly stiffened and turned me so that my back was now to the door of the bar.
"I need to use the restroom. Why don't you head back to the table and ask Tenzo or Kakashi to join me at the bar to help with getting a round of drinks for everybody."
"Sounds good. I was getting really thirsty."
He gave me a kiss as we parted and I turned to see that both Kakashi and Tenzo had seen us. Tenzo gave me a smile as I made my way towards them.
"Genma is headed to the restroom but wanted to know if one of you would meet him at the bar to help with a round of drinks for everyone."
Kakashi stood up to leave and placed a hand on Tenzo's shoulder. "Looks like he may need both of our help to carry all the drinks. Leah, help yourself to finishing off mine if you want until we get back."
Tenzo followed him and I watched until I saw them pass Asuma who was heading toward me with a sly smile on his face.
"Leah, you certainly know how to mesmerize a room."
"Thank you Asuma. I don't think it was all me though."
"Your singing was fantastic."
"Thank you. I think you and Kurenia dancing in public was pretty fantastic."
"You and me both. It's been so much better now that she isn't as worried about hiding everything. Granted, we haven't reached the point where she lets me kiss her or even hold her hand in public but we are getting there. It will be years however before I can get her to dance with me like you did with Genma."
"And which dance are you referring to the ones with Kakashi or without?"
"Just Genma. What you were doing with the two of them wasn't dancing. It was some female sex fantasy come true. I was half expecting to see Tenzo join you three out there."
"Speaking of Tenzo. I wonder why it's taking him and the other two so long to get drinks?"
"I think there is a long line. It might take them a bit. In the meantime, why don't you get back up on stage and sing another song. That is something that will get them back to their seats."
GENMA'S POV
I can't believe my father has the nerve to show up here and make an attempt to approach me while I was on the dance floor with Leah. I watched as she made her way over to the table and caught both Tenzo & Kakashi's gaze. They nodded affirming that they knew something was up. I need to find a distraction.
"Asuma, I need you to keep Leah busy while Tenzo, Kakashi and I take care of a situation."
"I'll take care of it. Don't worry, I'll keep her safe."
Asuma was almost at the table and had just passed Kakashi & Tenzo. They saw who I was headed towards as I made my move to get my father outside so our conversation wouldn't be seen by anyone else.
"This is a private party and you weren't invited. You need to leave."
I grabbed my father by the throat and pushed him backwards out the door of the bar. We passed Tsunade who had just arrived. I hoped either Tenzo or Kakashi would run interference with her for me. Once outside I slammed him hard against the wall of the bar. My hand still firmly wrapped around his throat.
"Genma, take it easy son. I just wanted to meet the girl for myself. I heard rumors that you were involved with someone again. And the things I heard made me concerned. I don't want you to make the same mistake I did by falling in love and marrying a whore."
My fist was clenched at my side ready to beat him senseless.
"You shut your fucking mouth before I shut it for you. My mother loved you even though you were a drunken, cheating bastard who mentally, verbally and physically abused her. Or are you too drunk to remember the facts that got you thrown in jail and finally out of our lives?"
"If you won't listen about your mother then let's talk about this girl. You are making a mistake."
"I've never needed advise from you."
"This time you do. She lets another man touch her like that in front of you and everyone in that bar. I don't know what kind of magic spell she has your dick under, but that isn't' love. Fuck her senseless all you want-just don't fall in love with her or marry her."
I raised my clench fist up and slugged him across his jaw. Blood poured from his mouth.
"You shit all over the one woman who ever loved you, regardless of your numerous flaws. I won't listen to anything you have to say on the topic of love. You stay the fuck away from me, my mother, and the woman I am marrying tomorrow and who I will be spending the rest of my life with in a healthy, loving marriage not some fucked up version that you had."
I hit him again. He spit blood out of his mouth.
"A woman who acts that way before you are married will do the same thing when you are married and that will only hurt you. She doesn't love you. She a whore that loves cock!"
I hit him a third time and was reaching back to beat him to death when Kakashi grabbed my wrist and Tenzo put his hand on my forearm.
"Genma, you need to let go of his throat. ANBU is here to make sure that he leaves. You need to cool down before you go too far."
I released my grip from around his throat and he fell to the ground. Tenzo and Kakashi were no longer touching me but standing by. I turned away from him before the urge to kick him grew inside me. I headed back inside to the restroom. Kakashi and Tenzo were behind me but when I walked into the restroom to wash the blood off my hand, only Tenzo was there.
"Where is Kakashi?"
"Tsunade wanted details. He's filling her in and will order the drinks so they are ready by the time you have calmed yourself down and cleaned up."
END OF GENMA'S POV & BACK AT THE TABLE
"I'm a little tired after all that dancing. But I promise to get back up there soon. I just have to think of a good song first."
Kia and Jade walked over to the table and joined us.
"Here have one of our drinks. We are ready to get you back up on stage too. We need to sing another song together."
"And what do you suggest Jade?"
"How about 'Like a Prayer'?"
"No, let's sing 'I Melt'. That is such a beautiful song."
"Do you two think you could get enough of our brothers to help out? We need like 6 of them to cover the various instruments used and that is if you play the mandolin along with helping with back up Kia."
"Sure I can do that. Jade you mention this to Micah. We already have him, Tomio and Toshiyuki up there. I can easily find the three more we need to take care of the rest. When we get it all sorted out we will wave for you to come up and join us Leah."
"I guess you will get your second song Asuma. This would be a beautiful song for you to dance with Kurenia. I just hope the guys return so they will get to hear it."
I kept turning my head back and forth looking at the stage to check for my sister's cue that it was a go and to the bar where I expected to see my men walking back to the table any time now. Asuma noticed my frustration.
"How about you keep an eye up on the stage while I keep an eye out for your men."
"Smart thinking Asuma but no need now. Jade is waving me over. I'll see you later."
I made my way through the crowd of people and joined my siblings up on stage. I shouldn't have been surprised at the speed of which we had enough volunteers. As everyone began taking their place on stage I looked out to see my men finally arriving back at the table and placing the drinks down. Asuma was just getting up to leave and he directed their attention to me on stage. I smiled at them, took a deep breath and let it out while Micah made the introduction.
"Leah has agreed to grace us with her amazing voice once again so all you love birds make your way to the dance floor for this beautiful song."
I began to sway my hips back and forth and my head slowly moving to the instrumental introduction. I made sure I caught Kakashi's eye as I began to sing.
'When you light those candles; up there on that mantle, setting the mood.'
I pointed towards my three men and smiled.
'Well, I just lie there staring; Silently preparing to love on you.'
I pulled my arm back and placed my hand on my hearts so they would hear my words in their minds as well through their ears. I also sent them each a vivid personalized image of what I have envisioned I would be doing tomorrow night with each man.
'Well, I can feel the heat from across the room; Ain't it wild what a little flame can make you wanna do.'
My sisters leaned closer to me as they joined me singing the chorus.
'I melt every time you look at me that way; It never fails, anytime, any place; This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt; I melt.'
My hand remained on my hearts and I sent another mental image to each of my men. An age generated picture of all of us sitting on the porch while a blur of children growing in age surrounded and passed by us quick enough that you couldn't really make out details but knew that it represented the many years our lives would be intertwined.
'Don't know how you do it; I love the way I lose it, every time; What's even better; Is knowing that forever you're all mine; The closer you get, the more my body aches; One little stare from you is all it takes.'
My sisters and I harmonized again.
'I melt every time you look at me that way; It never fails, anytime, anyplace; This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt; I melt'
Jade assisted me as I slowly slid down onto my knees swaying back and forth sitting on the back of my legs, fully looking like the power of my song had melted me on the spot with my eyes closed.
I melt every time you look at me that way; It never fails, anytime, anyplace; This burn in me is the coolest thing I've ever felt; I melt.'
I heard the roaring sound of applause and just sat there for a moment taking it all in. During my song Genma, Tenzo & Kakashi beat a path through the men and women that had swarmed closer to me when I dropped to my knees. I opened my eyes and saw their smiling faces. The three men shared with me the single thought running through their minds "time to go home." I made an effort to stand back up and quickly found Genma lifting me off the stage and placing me between him and Kakashi. Tenzo led the way to the front door where we could say goodnight to everyone.
Asuma, after having taken my advice and danced with Kurenia during my song, eagerly escorted Kurenia thru the door, smiled and gave me a nod of thanks as they quickly passed us in an effort to get somewhere private where he could finally express his feelings that mimicked those of my song. Following closely on their heels were Hana Inuzuka and Izumo both of whom were having a hard time keeping their hands off of the other. My sisters and their fiancés, my brothers and their wives all left in one large group after hugging and kissing me good night. While they were doing so, Jiraiya and Tsunade were heard laughing and making a bet as they passed us.
"Tsunade I bet she will be pregnant this time next year with her first child."
"I don't think it will take that long. I say she will be pregnant this time next month."
The last two people we saw leaving were Anko and Kotetsu standing just outside the entrance looking at each other until Anko glanced over at me.
"How good is your henge Kotetsu?"
"Excellent, I can keep it for days."
Anko grabbed his face and turned it towards me.
"Memorize and copy every detail."
"Done, now you too."
Before Kotetsu could reach Anko's head, she grabbed his arm to stop him and started dragging him behind her.
"No need. I've seen her naked at the spa."
What the hell? They both are going to use a henge to look like me and screw each other?
Kakashi saw my shocked and disgusted expression. He wrapped his arms around me and began making hand signs.
"We will see you two at home."
With a poof, we are gone.
BEGIN TENZO'S POV
As soon as Kakashi and Leah were gone, we start walking home.
"It's for the best that he got her out of here before any overly friendly admirers showed up and followed us home."
"True, I just wish he would teach us that jutsu so we could get there just as fast."
Genma gave me a slight push and yelled "race you home" then jumped up into the trees at a fast pace.
I chuckle to myself, made my hand signs and continue walking at my normal pace.
"What the fuck? Where did these limbs come from?"
I looked up as I passed Genma who was now wrapped up in several branches of a tree.
"It's not that far to home. I bet if we walk at a normal pace we should get there just as the clothes are hitting the floor. Do you think you can do that?"
"Why take our time walking to the house—don't you want to jump right in there and be with her?"
"I do. But I also don't want to waste my chakra jumping through trees with you when I could save it all for her".
"Excellent point. Ok. I'll walk at a normal pace and conserve my chakra."
I released Genma from the tangled branches and he fell to the ground. He caught up to me and matched my pace.
"Thanks Tenzo."
"You're welcome."
"You're always the calm one who stays focused. I get so excited that my mind doesn't pause long enough to think about all the benefits of taking a moment to reflect. Kakashi seems lazy, but he can think about and run through every possible scenario in a matter of seconds to ensure a positive outcome."
Shit!
I increase the speed of my walking a little.
"Why are you walking faster?"
"I forgot about Kakashi's ability for strategizing the best outcome. We need to pick up the pace a bit, without using chakra, if we want to get there before they start without us."
Our pace steadily increases until we are within sight of the house and see Kakashi sitting on the handrail leisurely reading.
"What are you doing out here? We though you and Leah would be naked by now."
Kakashi closed his book and sighed, "We would have been Genma, but her fathers were here waiting for us."
"Is everything ok?" I asked.
"Yes. But she left with them a few moments ago and won't be back tonight."
"Why not?"
"She is spending the night before the ceremony with her parents."
Genma was irritated, "Well that seems a little ridiculous. We've been living together for over a week. Do they think we would slip up the night before?"
"No. It's probably just they want to spend the last evening with their daughter before she spends the rest of her nights with us."
"Hmmm…that's part of it Tenzo. At least that's what her fathers are thinking. Her mom is thinking something else entirely."
I inquired, "What would be her reasoning then."
Kakashi pulled a note out of his vest pocket and handed it to me.
"Read for yourself."
"And read it out loud please." added Genma.
I unfolded the note and read through it quickly before clearing my throat.
"Gentlemen, I'm sure you are less than pleased that Leah's fathers came to collect her tonight. Please understand it's not that we don't trust your will power to wait another evening. We know you are strong, honorable men who can control your desires for one more night. We did this because it is tradition in my family to give her fathers one last opportunity to spend an evening with Leah before they turn her over to you three forever. My reasons, in addition to those, are to relieve any concerns Leah may have before tomorrow night to ensure a pleasant experience for all parties involved. So in closing I ask only one more restriction on your behavior tonight. Please get plenty of rest, and refrain from any self-gratification, as this will insure you the energy to last through the entire day and evening tomorrow. It will also increase Leah's chances of achieving her dream—one that she and I have both held for many years. Love, Mom"
I handed the note to Genma.
"Is she saying what I think she is?"
"Yes."
Kakashi elaborated further, "No jacking ourselves off tonight while we think about Leah. Akina wants us to save every last ounce of energy and sperm we have for tomorrow's all-nighter. She's hoping for grandchildren."
"Wow. She's encouraging us to have sex all night with her daughter and giving us tips on how to knock her up. Best mother-in-law ever!"
I waved as I passed them to go into the house, "Goodnight. I'm off to take a cold, cold shower as I'm planning on making Leah's dream come true tomorrow night."
"What makes you so sure you will be able to get her pregnant by yourself? Your chakra control is good, but do you have the kind of reserve needed?"
"I'm confident because the day we moved in here, Leah gave me a blowjob and the second she touched me with chakra on her fingers, I exploded in her mouth."
"So big deal, you're a quick shot. How does your pre-mature ejaculation help?"
"It's the combination of the short time it takes for her to get me off and my quick recovery time that enables me to be ready to go again. I could ejaculate three times in her in the first 5 minutes—and that's giving her 2 full minutes of rest in between. I'm her Woodsy. I'm always hard and ready to go."
I left them on the porch to ponder over that information.
END OF TENZO's POV
Kakashi quietly remembered the sounds he heard coming from the bathroom the afternoon they moved in together.
"Just because he can have three chakra filled orgasms in a minute doesn't mean she will."
"He has a unique talent that easily ensures she can and will. I'm calling the other shower and then I'm off to bed too. Goodnight."
Kakashi walked into the house leaving Genma scratching his head.
"What talent could a virgin have that would bring out that kind of response in Leah?"
A/N: A three day time span was a challenge to get everything I wanted in, without over doing it. If parts seem choppy-I apologize. I just had to cut some things out.
