Cha. 5

Enrik and Tayuya were back at Ramen Ichiraku, hoping to grab a bite before they went to sleep.

"Tayuya, you don't need to glare at Teuchi-san so much," Enrik said.

"…" Tayuya's glare never softened.

"Sorry, Teuchi-san," Enrik shook his head.

"It's fine Enrik-san. I messed up the alcohol and soup, then even asked you for money. I deserve it." Despite that, Enrik still felt sorry for Teuchi.

A few moments later, Tayuya suddenly threw a kunai towards the entrance while Enrik took out his pistol and took a shot.

"WAIT!" A poor man in a cat mask sat on his ass and was shaking slightly. Enrik then placed his pistol back into his holster.

"What's your f*ckin' business? SPEAK YOU SON OF A B*TCH!" Tayuya yelled. Enrik took a sip of his soup.

"HAI! Um…Tsunade-sama asked for you to got to her office."

"Can she wait until tomorrow?" Enrik asked. He took another sip of his soup. Warming his hands around the bowl.

"She said that it was urgent. She also told me to tell Enrik-san a name."

"Which is?" Enrik leaned in closer. His left hand hovered over his holster.

The man swallowed, then opened his mouth. "Yue Ling." Enrik's head snapped up at those two words.

"Tell the Hokage I'll be there."

"Hai."

Tsunade sat in her office, then let out a sigh as she heard the same question yet again.

"Is Enrik here yet?" The voice sounded slightly childish, but an aura of power and intense pressure was hidden under the voice.

"He'll be here soon," Tsunade could only hope so. She was definitely shaken up. After asking Jiraiya to investigate a recent crater, she had hoped for it to be the result of a recent battle. What she received, though, was a shock. Jiraiya had come back with a young girl, wearing the same type of clothing as Enrik, and nearly just as strong as him. Tsunade could feel the pressure in the room increasing as the girl's frown deepened. Tsunade was really wishing that Enrik would arrive now.

Tsunade jumped up in shock as the girl before leapt off her chair, sniffing the air. The girl quickly cracked a grin, a crazed one that Tsunade once recognized on Enrik's face. The girl pulled out her knife as three knock came from the door.

"Tsunade-sama, are you in there?" Enrik's voice called out. Before Tsunade could say anything, the girl rushed over to the door. She quickly pulled back the door and thrust her knife forward. Enrik jumped back as the knife barely grazed his jumpsuit. Enrik held his arm out and grabbed at the girl's head while his other hand took the knife away.

"Commander, you need to get taller before you try to kill me," Enrik said.

"LET GO OF MY HEAD ALREADY!" The girl yelled out. Tayuya looked at the girl, and took in what she looked like.

"So…This 5'6, flat chested, and raven haired little retard is your commander?" Tayuya asked.

"At least I don't have a f*ckin' washboard for my chest!" The girl was getting agitated.

"Commander, what are you doing here?" Enrik interjected.

"Can't I go after my subordinates?" The girl sat back in the seat in front of Tsunade.

"I think…IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND!" Enrik yelled. Just then, Tsunade had enough of our conversation. She slammed her fists on her desk.

"Start explaining!"

For the fifteenth time, Enrik batted his commander's hand away. The commander's hand also held a knife, and was previously inching towards his throat.

"So…Yue Ling is your superior?" Tsunade asked.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama," Enrik replied.

"Can I kill this f*ckin' wh*re?" Tayuya glanced at Yue Ling, who was currently sitting on Enrik's lap, her hand once again inching towards his neck.

"You can try," Yue replied.

"Tayuya, that wouldn't be a good choice," Enrik batted Yue's hand away while replying.

"Why?"

"Back in my world, there was a power ranking," Enrik paused for a moment, a small hint of fear in his eyes. "I was ranked number two. Yue was number one."

"Oh calm down will you?" Yue hugged Enrik around his waist, causing Tayuya's left eye to twitch. "You could've beaten me. If you didn't have to fight with one arm."

"One arm?" Tsunade asked.

"Yeah…About that…I might've cut his arm off in his sleep…" Yue rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.

"She might be a bit of a…Yandere," Enrik said.

"You don't say…" Tsunade and Tayuya sighed. Then threw their fists into Enrik's face. All of their annoyance and anger towards Yue Ling directed at Enrik instead.

"Shizune?" Tsunade turned around.

"Yes?"

"Prepare a hospital room."

"Already booked one beforehand."

"Can someone fix my head now? I think it's bleeding. My ears are also ringing, is that normal?" Enrik asked.

Tayuya stepped over to him, smiled, then opened her mouth. "Yes, it's perfectly normal. You should sleep. I'll think of something to do with both your arms this time."

"Can we talk about this?"

…

Yue Ling sat on the side of Enrik's bed, which was thankfully not a hospital bed. Though it did take some convincing on her part. Yue Ling gently stroked his right cheek using the tip of her hand. A smile played at the corner of her lips as he mumbled something in his sleep. Then her grin turned sadistic as a thought presented itself in her mind.

…

Tayuya stood outside the door, debating whether or not to go in. She had been a little harsh on Enrik, she'll admit that, but he deserved it right? "I'm coming in." Tayuya pushed open the door. Then froze as she saw what was happening. Yue, with a knife in hand, gently pressed the tip of her knife to Enrik's neck. What shocked her wasn't the scene before her, or the frantic look in Enrik's eyes. But the words that Yue Ling whispered.

"We're still getting married right?"
