Chapter 26: Bets and Hickeys

Next day everyone from Konoha had somehow known about Tobirama and Shisui, to the couple's embarrassment. Shisui couldn't ponder but wonder how they knew about it, and that only a few hours later.

The first people who had stormed in her room, demanding answers from her were none other than Uchiha Madara and Izuna. It was a good thing Tobirama didn't stay with her or she would have more explaining to do. He had left afterwards, albeit reluctant, and immediately she had felt the emptiness, though she was relieved that everything was cleared out between Tobirama and her, she wanted him to stay and sleep with her, which couldn't happen for obvious reasons.

Madara was frowning unhappily, glaring at everything that lived or not. Even Izuna was cranky as if he didn't have slept for three days straight. Were they seriously going to be overprotective?

"Aniki, Izuna-nii, I'm not going to plead you two for anything. Tobirama-kun is my true love, he is my significant other, just like Merumi-chan is your aniki, or Natsuki-chan is to Izuna-nii." She sighed softly, remembering the way he had kissed her, it literally send goose bumps through her entire body. "If the two of you can't accept the fact that I'm together with my first and only love then the two of you never will." Narrowing her eyes, she looked at the two of them, "We've had many conversations about this topic but this time it will be the last."

Her brothers were still eying her, their lips set in a grim line.

"I love Tobirama-kun and if the two of you will try to keep him away from me…," Her eyes darkened, Sharingan spinning eerily calm, "…then I won't forgive the two of you." Darker, "Ever."

Izuna breathed out, rubbing his temples as he glanced from Madara to Shisui. "You are serious about this relationship?"

"I couldn't imagine a life without him." She answered sincerely, her eyes never leaving her brothers. The way he talked to her, focused on nothing but her, the way he looked at her, trying to memorize everything about her, the way his touches would linger on her body, driving her insane and the way he had kissed her that made her despise oxygen because she had to break the kiss to breathe. She wanted nothing more than him, even more than her life itself.

Because what good was life when you couldn't live it out with the one you love dearly?

"I'll give Tobirama a chance to prove himself whether he is capable of taking care of you." Izuna spoke with closed eyes, his fingers twitching as he imagined his sister with the Senju. Tobirama may be a good friend but this was his little innocent sister, he didn't want her to be hurt, or heaven forbid, be used. Still the way she talked about him and her serious eyes, heck, she had practically threatened the two of them. And he also knew for a fact that Tobirama never had shown interest into another girl, always watching his little sister.

…That somehow sounded so stalker-ish.

Shisui smiled widely, her eyes sparkling, "Thank you, Izuna-nii! Thank you!" She convinced one of her brothers, now only one to go, though her big brother was going to be a pain in the ass. She averted her eyes to him, slightly nervous, "Aniki?"

Madara wanted to strangle Izuna for agreeing too fast. He knew he couldn't take love away from his little sister, he had promised her to be more considerate of her. That didn't mean he was going to like it. Staring deep in her eyes, he tried to see something hesitant in her eyes but he found nothing.

Zilch.

She was serious about this relationship and he knew for a fact that Tobirama was serious too. That man had never shown interest in other women before. Dear Kami why couldn't she stay little forever? It would save him a lot of trouble…

"…I'll give him a chance too." Madara gritted out, trying his best to look as pleasing as possible, his twitching eye brows saying the otherwise.

Izuna blanched and Shisui looked downright freaked out at the face that Madara was making. But after a second thought Shisui heard his approval. Squealing loudly, she jumped on her brother, wrapping her arms around his neck as she kissed him continuously on his cheek. "Thank you! Thank you!" She shouted through her kisses and Madara had to roll his eyes at her antics, even Izuna chuckled in amusement, feeling the tension evaporate slowly on.

When Shisui had released her tight hold on him, Madara and Izuna turned serious, eying her, "Shisui, we give you free reign in this relationship with Tobirama but we expect one promise from you." Madara and Izuna locked eyes together, the latter continuing, "You will stay pure until your marriage."

Said Uchiha woman blushed brightly, groaning in embarrassment, "Aniki, Izu-" "No. Shisui, we are serious about this, we expect you to keep your chastity until your marriage, are we understood?" Madara interrupted her, eyes narrowed threateningly.

"If the two of you would have let me finish then I would've responded positively." She ignored the heat on her cheeks, looking serious, "I plan to keep that for my marriage."

The three of them looked at each other and finally after some tense moment, Madara and Izuna nodded curtly, pleased with her answer. No matter how strong Shisui was, she wouldn't be able to lie to the two of them, not that she would do in the first place.

Shisui looked down, coughing softly, "So is this conversation done?"

"Yeah, that's all." Izuna replied, glancing at Madara, "Right, aniki?"

Her brother nodded, "Don't forget what we talked about, imouto."

"I won't aniki." Leaning forward to kiss them both on their cheeks, she waved them off, dispersing in a flock of crows.


The second ones who knew about her relationship with Tobirama were none other than Senju Hashirama and Uzumaki Mito with none other than Senju-Uzumaki Akhiko.

"Aunt Shi!" Akhiko shouted happily, running straight towards her. She caught him in her arms, twirling him around as they both laughed simultaneously, enjoying their moment together. It felt as if she didn't see her godchild for such a long amount of time. "Akhiko-kun, I missed you, my little shrimp."

When she looked at him, he stared at her with mischief in his eyes, a creepy smile appearing on his face.

She raised her eye brows, freaking out in the inside, "Err… Akhiko-kun, why are you looking at me like that?"

His answer was cut off by Mito, his mother, who smiled even creepily, no, way creepier than her son, her eyes glinting with sheer mischievousness. "We heard from a little bird that we missed some firework yesterday night."

"I was planning to tell you guys about it." She coughed softly, feeling awkward as she looked at Hashirama, this was still her first love and her best friend. "Well, obviously I don't need to tell you about it…" Laughing sheepishly, she looked at Mito and then at Akhiko, who was still cradled in her arms.

Akhiko smiled widely, "Does that mean you'll officially become my aunt?"

"Silly, I was always your aunt from the start! But yes, I'll become your aunt officially." She giggled when his face lit up, she didn't mention the fact that she had to marry Tobirama to become his official aunt, not wanting to break the mood. He squealed in happiness, hugging her tightly as Mito wrapped her arms around Shisui, murmuring softly in her ear, "I'm so happy for you, Shisui-chan, it's about time the two of you got together."

When she leaned back, her face split up in a huge, wide grin, "This calls for a celebration!" She took Akhiko from her arms, dropping him on the ground, "Akhiko-kun, do you know what this will means?"

He arched his eye brow, "No what?"

"You'll have a little cousin!" Mito chanted happily, twirling with Akhiko as the duo laughed loudly, enjoying the blissful moment.

Shisui giggled softly, enjoying the way Mito and Akhiko were turning around. Her eyes moved to Hashirama who was standing there and looking at her. The two of them didn't say anything, the awkwardness starting to annoy Shisui, "Hashirama-kun, I-" "No need to say anything, Shisui-chan, I'm really happy for you." His eyes softened and he embraced her in a gentle hug, continuing, "I'm glad you found someone to love." And he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.

She inhaled his forest scent, smiling softly, "Thank you, Hashirama-kun, thank you."

He was finally releasing her slowly on but somewhere deep inside of her she knew that he would never forget his first love, she knew that she had a place in his heart.

"Group hug!" Mito and Akhiko screamed in unison, hugging the other two tightly as they squealed loudly.


More and people kept congratulating her and somehow she got the feeling that whole Konoha was celebrating it way too much, there had to be something behind it. Feeling curious, she decided to find out the answers for it.

When she walked around Konoha with a henge over her, she heard some disturbing news.

"Today the distribution of the bets will be released." A shinobi whispered secretively, his eyes moving left and right.

His other friend answered, "Will Sasuke-sama be releasing the scores or what?"

"No, I think it will be Hokage-sama. Sasuke-sama will be dividing the money." The first one spoke quietly, scratching his cheek.

"It was about time Tobirama-sama and Shisui-sama got together."

The first one nodded, "I know what you feel man, I'm glad I voted on Tobirama-sama though."

Shisui stiffened, suppressing her growls as she clenched and unclenched her fists. Those two were going to die. Tonight.


Hashirama smirked widely, Sasuke standing next to him as he counted the money on the Hokages desk with a happy glee, "I'm so rich!"

"I know what you mean! I feel the same!" Hashirama replied even giddily, his eyes sparkling as he viewed his beautiful golden friends. Whoever said money doesn't make you happy was stupid!

Suddenly Hashirama's office room trembled softly but gradually on it started to worsen until it shook violently. The two couldn't help but scream in horror as their ryo's all fell on the floor, rolling in every corner.

"No, my babies!" Sasuke shouted as anime tears rolled down his cheeks. Hashirama tried desperately to catch them all with his wood release but before he could do anything, the door burst open, the hinges from the door breaking under the force, sending the door flying towards them. With girly shrieks, they leaped away on time and when they looked at the intruder, their eyes bulged out, sweat pouring down their faces.

"S-Shisui-chan…?" Sasuke stuttered, looking at her with wide eyes.

Hashirama was trembling slightly as her narrowed, Sharingan eyes were looking through them. He felt as if Death was looking at him.

Shisui clenched her fists, glaring at them, "So I was part of a bet?" She was speaking calmly, too calm, but the way her teeth grinded together, the way her fingers twitched was saying otherwise.

The duo laughed sheepishly, looking at one and another, hoping they would find a valid excuse. Hashirama opened his mouth, "S-Shisui-chan, it i-isn't what it looks like…" Another ryo rolled to the corner, passing the three. Shisui's eye brow twitched even more, "Oh really…? Then please do explain what it is all about."

"You see… we were c-counting the money from Konoha's treasure." Sasuke piped up, nodding vigorously, "Yeah, Konoha's treasure." He repeated firmly, hoping she would believe them. Hashirama nodded too, crawling closer to Sasuke to take cover in case she would explode.

Shisui laughed humorless, hiding her lips, "I can tell for a fact that Konoha's treasure has more gold than this." She waved her arms horizontally, pointing to the scattered ryo's. Her voice turned darker, her eyes turned more demonic-like, her lips curled upwards, "Spare me your worthless excuses." She walked closer to them as they backed away from her, their eyes wide as saucers.

"S-Shisui-chan, h-have mercy…" Hashirama begged, trying his best to calm her down. When he turned to look at Sasuke, the man was already bawling his eyes out, bowing continuously for Shisui but she was only regarding them with mild amusement. "Please, Shisui-chan, don't kill us, I beg of you. Please…" He sniffed quietly, his big wide eyes locked with hers.

For a few minutes neither one said anything until Shisui laughed darkly, peeking at the duo, "I don't think so."

The two could only grab each other as she advanced towards them, screaming and begging for mercy.

…But Shisui wasn't going to listen, she wanted revenge.


Outside the office were three figures listening in to the many girly shrieks and begs for mercy.

"Heh. Did I mention that I enjoy Hashirama's baby cries?" Madara snorted when he heard something crack and it definitely sounded painfully.

Tobirama shook his head, his lips curved in a tiny smile as he folded his arms, "They got what they deserved."

Izuna nodded in agreement, murmuring, "I wonder what imouto would do with the money?"

The three of them looked at each other and said in unison, "Probably donating it to Konoha's Orphanage."

They winced once again when they heard Sasuke cry out of pain, followed by Hashirama who was begging for more mercy. This continued for three hours straight when the door opened, the three of them leaned against the door, discussing a random topic. When Shisui walked out of the door, not a scratch or a drop of sweat on her forehead, they sweat dropped, especially when she smiled so sweetly at the three, her eyes lingering on Tobirama.

"I advise the three of you not to go in there." With another giggle, she walked away, holding a giant bag, but not before placing a tender kiss on Tobirama's cheek who blushed slightly at her approach.

Madara and Izuna walked towards the door the moment Shisui vanished, Tobirama following the brothers. What they saw inside traumatized them no end. Hashirama and Sasuke were lying on top of each other in reverse, their heads cuddling their crotch as their hands and legs were stuck on the desk, which was stuck on the ceiling.


Shisui smiled softly at the director of the orphanage, smiling softly at the man as she handed them the giant bag of ryo's. "This will be enough to buy all the children some new supplies and clothes, don't you think?"

"Thank you Lady Shisui." Ryuchi spoke in gratitude, bowing for her.

Shisui smiled softly, lifting him up, "No need to bow for me Ryuchi-kun, be sure to tell me when they would go out shopping, I would love to join you."

"Of course, Lady Shisui." He replied with a small blush, smiling widely at her. He really admired the Uchiha princess who showed great caring towards the weaker-established villagers like the orphans and elderly ones. He was sure that Konoha was getting less and less poor people, he enjoyed walking around Konoha and exploring the newly founded village and what he saw pleased him. Not once did he saw a beggar or orphans running around and scavenging for food.

She smiled warmly at him, reaching out to take another scroll, "I promised Shiketsu a scroll about a special chakra explanation. Can you hand that to him?"

Ryuchi nodded, taking the scroll from her, "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"No, that will be all. Don't forget to warn me when you'll be taking them on a shopping spree." She turned around with another wide smile, waving him farewell." Ja ne!"

He looked at her retreating back, wondering if he would be able to get such a strong-spirited and passionate woman as his wife.


Shisui smiled warmly as she felt two warm arms engulf her in a gentle hug, glancing backwards, she placed her hand on Tobirama's cheek, "Tobirama-kun." She was sitting on her couch, reading through her notes on cancer.

"Shisui-chan." He answered leaning on her hand, his lips curving in a small smile, enjoying the way her eyes sparkled. "What you did to aniki was pure evil."

She giggled softly, leaning against his chiseled chest as she intertwined her hand with his. "They got what they deserved."

He chuckled softly, shaking his head, "True, but you do know they'll be traumatized from it?"

"That's my point."

"Did I mention how evil you are?" He repeated the same statement, enjoying the way she laughed melodiously, making his heart pound harder.

She bopped her head. "Too many times to count."

"What are you working on now?" He asked curiously, peeking at her notes with her neat and elegant writing style.

Shisui frowned slightly, looking at her notes, "I'm working on a cure for cancer but till now I didn't find a single cure, only treatments to keep the cancer at bay." With the many special herbs growing in her greenhouse, she started creating different pills for her cancer patient back in the hospital but till now she was only prolonging their lies, keeping the deadly disease at bay.

"Let me see." Tobirama read through the notes, seeing the many medical explanation along with their respective pills. "You've put a lot of work in it. How long are you working on it?" He asked curiously, placing her notes on the couch.

She sighed softly, "More than six years…" If she really was depicted as world's best medical-nin then why couldn't she find a cure for it already? She felt as if that titel didn't belong to her, she was sure that her future Tsunade would be able to find it, unlike her…

Tobirama noticing her distressed face, squeezed her arms, placing a gentle kiss on her cheek, "Don't worry too much about it, everyone knows you're trying your best to help out." He was really glad to have such a fantastic girlfriend like her.

"I know but… there are people depending on me…and I-I don't want to fai-" She was hushed by Tobirama's fingers as he turned around, cupping her cheeks, "Shisui…" He shoved the notes aside and stared deep in her eyes, "You can't always help everyone."

She sighed tiredly, her eyes flickering to her notes and then back to Tobirama. "I-I know but I have to do something f-for them."

He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, "Just don't overdo it, my love."

Shisui blushed slightly at that affectionate nickname, her mind still reeling about the fact that Tobirama was her boyfriend, it felt so unreal. She snaked her arms around his neck, her blush still intact as she placed a kiss on his cheek, "Whatever makes you happy, Tobi-kun."

Smirking at her cute blush, he locked his lips with hers, feeling the tingling sensation return back tenfold. Carefully, he pushed her down on the couch, his leg lying between hers as his other hand wandered down to her stomach, drawing imaginative patterns on it. She moaned into the kiss, her cheeks heating up as her stomach churned violently, butterflies going wild inside of her.

She moved her hands to his shaggy white hair, enjoying the smooth texture under her fingers as she twirled it around her fingers. She relished in the way his fingers touched her body, making her lust for more, "T-Tobirama-kun…" She moaned sensually as his skilled lips moved to her neck, sucking lightly and nibbling on her tender flesh, his heart beating wildly against his chest as she arched her back towards him. He felt her fingers grab his hair roughly as her legs wrapped around his waist, his name coming out her parted lips as his fingers moved underneath her top, feeling her baby smooth skin.

Their moment was ruined when Izuna suddenly walked in the room. When he saw his sister moaning with a sucking Tobirama on top of her, he screamed like a girl, clawing his eyes out, "Not again! Why me Kami?! What did I do?!" He fell dramatically on the ground, shutting his eyes shut, "My eyes they burn! Kami have mercy with me!"

Shisui blushed even more and got off Tobirama, coughing lightly in embarrassment, "I-Izuna-nii, w-what are you doing here?"

The two lovers sweat dropped when he started rolling back and forth, yelling as if he was in pain. But what interested Tobirama more was the fact that Shisui was displaying visible bruise on her neck. He smirked and turned to look at his girlfriend's brother and his good friend, "Izuna, I suggest you start acting normal."

Said brother stopped being overdramatic and stood up, his fingers and eye brows twitching occasionally as he regarded the two with distaste, clearly disturbed by what he had seen, "Next time make sure no one sees the two of you like that." He walked to the kitchen, muttering under his breath, "I'll be having another nightmare about this."

Tobirama and Shisui stared at each other with an amused smirk and then Shisui burst out in laughter, wrapping her arms around his neck, "Want to go and polish our skills?"

"How can I decline such a tempting offer?" Tobirama whispered smoothly in his velvet baritone voice, looking at her with half-lidded eyes. He didn't miss the double meaning behind her offer, oh, he wasn't going to be rude by declining.

Before they could leave in a whirl of leaves, Madara arrived home, scrunching his nose in annoyance when he saw his little sister in that position but then his eyes widened even more when he saw a certain mark on her neck. His eye brow twitched violently, his eyes turning murderously and his body going rigid, "Tobirama."

Said Senju smirked in triumph, "Yes, Madara?"

"You don't know how much you repulse me." He spat out, ignoring his sister's glare aimed at him.

"Oh but I do know." He squeezed Shisui tightly and saluted Madara, leaving in a whirl of leaves.

Madara's jaws slacked open, his eyes bulging out when he realized Tobirama took his sister somewhere private, probably to do something perverted with her, "Izuna! Get your ass here! We have some spying to do!"

Izuna gulped and hid under the table, he was not going to watch his sister making out with Tobirama, he did not want to experience more traumatized events. He closed his eyes, begging for Kami to give him strength and super Kekkei Genkai to make him invisible for his older brother. Unfortunately Kami wasn't on his side and Madara leaned down, regarding him with a predatory smirk, "Otouto, where you perchance hiding from me?"

"N-No, a-aniki, I wouldn't d-dare to."

Madara's creepy smirk widened even more, "That's more like it." He patted his brother's head and pulled him out, "Now, shall we go?"

Izuna could only whimper pathetically as Madara flickered towards Tobirama and Shisui.
