He took her hand into his own as they walked out of the manor, "How do know Hachiko? Kana?"

"I spied on her husband's concubines a few times." She giggled requesting, "What did lady Hachiko mean? Tobirama?"

He explained to her in a way she'd understand, "As you know the regional lords benefit the most from the wars and the shinobi and samurai families they vassel to fight in the conflicts. Peace is the last thing these men want to happen. Though as of now as the divided lords are now stagnant amongst each other... This is the best time for our clans to take action for peace."

The first thought in her mind was of Madara and Hashirama. She stated a look of amazement on her face, "So that's what our elder brothers are doing! They are one step closer to achieving their dreams!"

"Yes, They are."

Kawakana took Tobirama's hand, both stopped walking their way through the courtyard. She looked into his eyes as if looking into his soul, "What happened before you came to the manor to retrieve me?"

"I encountered an agent of Mitō Uzumaki, She employed her to investigate Hashirama's character." He said off-putting the encounter as nothing more.

"That's mine." He felt her hand grip his backside.

"Kawakana, Did I give you permission to touch me?"

"Well, As you know, I prefer spontaneous displays of affection." She caressed him.

"We are in public..."

She continued with her hand, "This is a private residence and no one else is present." His face turned in a controlled one, She requested, "Am I making you aroused? I mean after our wedding night, It all makes sense now."

He took her hand and they were off, "Enough, We have to get your brother's gift and necessaries for tomorrow."

"I already got my brother a gift."

"A gift?"

"A black cat, I sent him on his way to Madara's residence."

"I see, Then we are off to the goods store... This cat? Did he know how to talk?"

"Yes," She recalled fondly, "I told him Madara of the Uchiha clan needs a feline guardian as refined and majestic as he."

Tobirama looked into his beloved's dark blue eyes and grinned, she held his hand and they walked back to the general goods store.

Inside of the store, Tobirama looked around and chose the items they needed, "This should do."

She requested, "Why the outdoorsmen goods?"

"You and I will spend this night in the forest below the Yamashin mountains."

"Oh, I see, You are taking the opportunity this night." She chuckled as she selected some to make her own and spoke. "Fine,"

He raised his brow, "Oh, You are catching on now."

She nodded, "I'm not an idiot, Tobirama."

"W-Well, I shall see what I can do."

He paid for all of the goods and they headed back outside and entered the opposite door they'd come in to in order to reach the stairs and trails of the forest. They headed down, Kawakana followed.

It wasn't long before they reached their starting point. The trail winded through the opening of the mountains, most the time Kawakana let Tobirama do the talking. He told her of the many caves and slopes in the caves below, where unsuspecting travelers might wander in to while descending the mountains. He named each section that might aid a traveler in completing their task.

Kawakana listened intently to him, his stories, his logic. She was well intrigued by the beginning of their lives together.

"The paths end in these areas known as the Shira River and Toki River."

"They are fine rivers," She said with a tone that implied the water flowing through them were disgusting, "They get their name from the smell that flows off of their black and silver rocks?"

"That's right," He stopped talking for a moment, looking at the orange moon in the night sky, he answered her, "The night and tomorrow will be warm."

She didn't complain, nor did she argue. They continued down, searching for the right spot he had in mind for night. Finally, they found a spot where they were comfortable and were more than half - way down a steep ridge in the trees.

Kawakana sat down letting Tobirama set everything up. As he went to the rocks and stacked wood, Kawakana placed her hand on her thigh and scooted over to the other side of the small clearing.

She slipped off her shoes and sighed softly, examining her manicure as she slowly traced her fingers along her nails.

Tobirama quietly entered the area and placed his scrolls on the ground next to a lantern and several other items, including a pair of small candles, rations and a bedroll. He then took a seat on the ground next to her, "So, are you looking forward to this Tobirama?"

He blinked and glanced at her, "Are you..."

"This..." she said, stroking her dark blue hair, "...it's an experience, isn't it?"

"An experience?" He asked, thinking for a moment.

"A new scenery."

He nodded, "Yeah, it is."

"So, what should I do?"

"Hmm... Good question." He thought lighting a fire, "It is a bit hot, Take your clothes off and relax."

"I'll try not to be a distraction while you are at work." She stood up, Untying the knots that kept her robes together. She then stepped towards him, taking off the hakama revealing her soft curves.

Tobirama's eyes lingered on her thighs, by this time he had settled everything for this night, "You think this is good?"

She shrugged, "I think it's great."

Tobirama stared after her, his gaze lingering on, "That settles it."

Kawakana turned to look back at him, "Come here, My love."

She started by undoneing his sash, he aided her, he then took her hand and led it to his chest, where she relieved him of his robe. They stood there, looking at each other for a moment.

He pulled her into him by her waist giving her a kiss between her jaw and neck. Kana held onto his shoulders. She peered down admiring his form.

"Since the beginning you could never take your eyes off of me, while I never stopped to behold the amazing figure of my husband."

"I had you too captivated by my other more profound assets."

She wondered, "Your other assets?"

"My peerless intellect and-"

She peered down to what she thought he was going to say, "I mean Senju men are potent, Conceiving on our wedding night was a testament to that fact."

"I'm grateful but that is not what I was thinking."

There she understood what he was trying to say, "I like your affection and whom you are as well."

He gave her a from the heart smile, then continued on, "The fact that you like every part of me makes me overjoyed."

"Your grumpy behavior is one thing that grows on me over time."

He embraced her from under her arms, she braced for his affectionate kisses, "You are the only person in the world who has the power to change me."

She rebuffed his words, "You are doing that to yourself. I am just open to receiving your desires and welcoming all stages of personal change."

"That is what makes you the perfect woman." He mused admiring her, "Your wisdom, Your spirit is like none other I've ever encountered, Your unhinged spirit makes me want to desire and possess you. Your existence seduces me and makes me loose all my sense of logic and reason."

She chuckled at the power she had over this husband of her's; Knowing his logic and reason were the qualities Tobirama valued the most about his own person. Making him a savage man now seemed more tempting. She slipped her hands under his lower torso, gripping his ass with both of her hands, giving him flirty eyes, "I think I know who possesses who..."

He grinned insinuating, "I won't lie, I am yours, Now get on your knees."

She did as requested, getting down on her knees, "As you command, My love, I will make you become a wild man like last time."

He swiped away her hand away from his member, "I have a better idea, Remember when I used to chase you around when we were teenagers?"

"Yes, I was a faster runner than you."

He suggested with mischief written all over his handsome face, "I want you to run through the dense part of the forest as fast as you can, use body flicker if you wish, Don't stop until I have caught you."

"Don't do anything crazy, Tobira, I'm pregnant, remember?" She raised up to her feet.

"Yes, Of course, I wouldn't ever want to bring harm to our twins. I will be gentle with you this night."

Through the forest Kawakana ran as fast as her legs could take her. Evading the rocks, branches and roots of the trees. Out from nowhere she felt two arms grab her from under her breasts. It was Tobirama who pulled her back against his chest.

"You will never be fast enough to run away from me or hide again."

She asserted, "Those are the last things I want to do. So how did you do that?"

He smiled, revealing to her, "I tagged you on our wedding night together."

She remembered his new technique, "That new technique? You invented?"

He pushed her up against a rock face beside a freshwater fall, "The flying Raijin technique."

She bended down to give him better access, "You named it after a god..."

He caressed her back with his hands starting from her shoulders descending down her lower back, "Yes, In respect of the god's power."

Next she felt him embrace her again and they were back at the camp sight within seconds. It took Kawakana a few moments to recollect herself. She sat down on the bedroll they shared, laying down on her back.

"Are you feeling alright? Kana?" He asked concerned.

She tempted to subvert the motion sickness within herself, She said closing her eyes, "Don't do that ever again unless absolutely necessary... I'm hungry and thirsty."

He summoned water into a cup using suiton, "Here, Take this. I will go fishing and make some shishamo. Rest for now."

Shifted laying on her right side, She allowed, "Fine."

There Kawakana fell asleep. A few hours later Tobirama woke her up giving her a shishamo to eat. She gathered herself feeling refreshed from the nap. Together both ate their fish, spitting out pieces of fish bone into the rocks and forest below.

After finishing she laid down on her side. Soon after Tobirama joined her taking her leg over his torso, Kawakana motioned her hand under his arm holding on to his back. Both laid, facing each other, closely embraced. She touched the markings on his face with her lips, kissing his face lightly. Her hand moved up from his back, up to his face, her thumb massaged his cheekbone, while her other fingers massaged in circle motions behind his ear. A calmed sigh escaped from his mouth. She felt his hand cup her breast lightly. Her fingers fondled his smooth chin. His brow furrowed and her breasts pushed out as her nipples contracted. She laughed playfully at him. He grinned and began to lick her breasts. His hands found their way around to her stomach, feeling her curves and nudging her at her waist. She smiled at him and arched her back ever so slightly, squirming under his touch.

As he massaged her stomach he cupped her ass cheeks in his hands, squeezed her hips and gave her small but firm massages. His face was now close to her navel. He motioned his hands over her rib cage and massaged her perky breasts lightly, softly running his fingertips up and down the outside of her soft breast and over the nipple. She was in heaven, but kept going. He pulled her against him and quickly pushed her right leg more over his torso to give him an opening. He then whispered to her, "I have waited for this a long time, so I am going to take my time."

"Are you going to make love to me or are we going to fool around like two days ago..."

"You and I are together, Alone."

She released her hand from Tobirama's face, shifted her body slightly from the place he had stationed her, half next to and above him. Without wasting any time Kawakana clutched her hand around his member and guided him in, "You are only going to make love to me when you know we are alone, and-"

"The extent of my feelings for you can only be known between you and me, Kawakana." Pulling her back into her former place with her right thigh over his hip, He buried himself into her only half way.

"So you are just going to mislead everyone else? About our relationship?"

"I don't want anyone to get between us, Not anymore, I've learned from the past."

"You are soo complicated for a man,"Kawakana saw there was a guilty concern on his mind he was about to speak off, "Must have something to do with your intelligence but I'll overlook it."

He begged for forgiveness, "I reflected upon myself recently on how I treated you when we were together that morning. I was out of line and shouldn't have ever lain with you when I was frustrated. I betrayed the promise I made before we were married to never mistreat you."

Kawakana accepted his apology, "I appreciate your understanding and self reflection, as well as your apology. Though I do enjoy dirty talk and a little roughness, just tell me your frustrations first so we can leave such emotions out of the bedroom." She assured her husband that their marriage was strong and that she had forgiven him.

He apologized again, "Kawakana, I made a mistake. I lost my temper, I know I shouldn't have, and I apologize."

Kawakana replied, "It's okay. I understand your frustration, However, When you suppress your emotions your feelings will manifest in other ways." She then offered him a final reminder, "Remember our friendship as the foundation of our relationship. This is your home. Do not force me to leave. We may not always agree on what is best for our family, but I am yours."

Tobirama was exhausted and wanted to move on from his emotions, but to his surprise, Kawakana reassured him that she loved him, and he was her man. She asked, "Do you still have the desire me?"

Tobirama replied, "Yes, if that's what you want."

Kawakana said, "Then by all means, my husband, have at it. Although, be mindful of my feelings. You do not have the right to shame or belittle me. You should have a wife that is excited to feel your affection and your touch. For too long you've been afraid to be vulnerable and as a result, you've become cold, I love you, and I am willing to give you the room to be vulnerable with me, without ever questioning your intentions."

He agreed that was what he wanted and continued to kiss her on the neck and ears.He found himself reminiscing on when they were teenagers, "You taught me so much back then," he said. "We knew everything about each other, the good and the bad. You showed me how to love, you showed me how to live, and I'll always be grateful for that."

She asked, "Do you remember that time you fell in love with me?"

He blushed, "I do, but I can't say."

Kawakana smiled, "Why?"

He hesitated before he answered, "Because it was a complete accident."

"What?"

"It was a mistake that was obviously very powerful and could have had a catastrophic outcome, but I wasn't sure how to handle it, and I wanted to keep you around. I also felt extremely guilty, It wasn't my place to have such feelings for a girl from another clan, and it wouldn't have been right for me to pursue you any further. I couldn't bear the idea of you leaving me."

She knew exactly what he meant. Instead, they would be paired off with someone from their own clan and would have to sacrifice their love for one another. But fate had a different plan.

She mused, "I was quite wild and insistant in those days... I'll admit, I was quite brazen and selfish too. But you never felt the need to push me away. You made me feel loved, and you trusted me enough to allow me to be my own person. That meant a lot to me at the time."

He said, "That's why you're mine. Not because of what I did, but because of what you did for me."

He continued to kiss and caress her, until they were out of breath, "Your heart is still pure and honest. I can see it, and you're a beautiful person. I only wish I was more confident back then."

She grabbed his hand and pulled him to her and said, "I love you, Tobirama."

At that moment, the moon descended lighting up her beautiful pale skin. She pulled him closer, whispering in his ear, "Let me make love to you."

In an effort to make her relaxed he started off with gentle movements.

She nudged her face into his shoulder, locking her leg tightly around him. A random question came from her lips, "How many children do you want to have?"

He thought and said, "I will ask you the same."

"You said you wanted my obedience."

"That doesn't make your wishes and opinions any less important."

"I'll do as you wish."

"It all depends on how your first pregnancy goes. Twins after all have a higher rate of complications."

"What if I die?"

"You won't because my brother will be there to heal you."

"Hashirama..."

"Our mother taught him midwifery when he was just starting his healing arts training."

"Your brother never ceases to amaze me," She complimented, "Same goes for you though. I don't understand why you always feel inferior to him. You are leagues smarter than him."

"As you said I am my own person."

She kissed his cheek, "You are the only person in this world who understands my peace of mind."

"Only you know what it is like to have nothing left to live for."

"When the pain of losing someone overwhelms you, when you feel the darkness starting to take you over, will you fight it?"

She cocked her head to the side, obviously searching for the answer, "Yes."

Kawakana muses fondly, "Because when you fight, you're fighting for someone else."

"True." He gave a gentle smile and joustled her on, "Come on and make love to me."

"If you insist." She laughed happily, holding her hand out to the side. He took her hand and pressed it to his chest, then reached over and grasped her behind the waist, lifting her up.

With his arms wrapped around Kawakana, he embraced her and held her close. Their bodies fit together perfectly, like they were made to be. Whether it was the power of desire or not she was in Heaven, with her lovers arms wrapped around her.

With his hands on her hips, he moved her over to sit over his torso. He lifted her up into a kneeling position over his lap.

Wrapping his right hand around her waist, he lifted her back as he guided her down onto him. She was enjoying the sensation of his girth as he moved in and out of her, "Keep the pace slow," He began to whisper into her ear, "Slow and soft, sexy sounds..."

Kawakana pulled her lips away from his and moaned, her body letting go of the orgasm that had been building in her.

"Kana?"

"Yes!" She moaned his name.

She pushed herself up and turned in his arms, the two of them broke their kiss and he looked into her eyes, "Are you okay?"

"Yes!" She said, "I'm fine."

He let go of her waist and with both of his hands behind her neck began to slowly grind her up and down his length.

The sensations that his body was feeling, almost blinded him, He could feel his hot blood starting to flood through him. He picked up his pace, thrusting himself in and out of her. She tried to get her bearings in the dark and continued to work his length.

She felt his hand at the base of her spine, as she continued to meet his hips with her own. Her breaths were getting shorter and she felt the rhythm of her hips increase. He leaned back and gripped his arms around her shoulder to keep her in place.

She continued to grind her hips back and forth, moaning again, "More... My love!"

"More how?" He whispered into her ear, but in a soft voice.

Her hands released his arms and she gripped his silver hair and pulled his head back so she could get in a more strenuous position. Her moans and body twisting in perfect tandem.

His hands locked around her she felt him grab her hips and lift her up higher on his dick. She continued to grind into him, taking him in and out of her and never stopping. As she did she turned around and ran her hands through his hair as he pushed slowly forward, feeling his cock go as far inside of her as both would allow.

Their bodies worked in sync to help each other reach the pleasure they had been craving for so long.

His soft hands slid down her back and held on as she pulled forward and the two of them pulled into a turn, him on top, her on top, both with their bodies tangled together.

As their rhythm picked up she felt him tense up and knew he was about to let go. She continued to grind into him.

Their bodies moving faster and harder.

His hands held her hips tight and her lips trailed from his chin to mouth, finishing with a kiss, as she felt the first wave of her orgasm begin to hit her.

"Oh! Yes!"

The softness of her skin made it more intense and as his legs stiffened her body continued to grind against him.

She kissed his shoulder, "I love you." She whispered.

She felt the soft movement of his member starting to relax and then his hips began to move slowly and she felt him pulling back. His body completely drained.

Their bodies were still tangled together. After a few moments they slowly released the tension, and finally separated.

Tobirama laid his head down on Kana's stomach and she stroked his head, smiling as he started to kiss her belly, knowing in the months to come her body would grow to support and nurture the twins growing within her.

"You never cease to amaze me. You really are intent on becoming a father, Tobirama..."

Tobirama gave her one last lingering kiss on her stomach, "You are truly the most incredible woman I know." and his head gently rested on her stomach.

He could hear her heart beat so he knew that she was at least more content than she had been in a long time. "I don't think I could ever let you go, Kana."

He kissed her stomach one more time before slowly opening his eyes to look down at her. His hands began to gently caress her body. Kana reached up and ran her hand through his hair.

"I never would have thought any of this could happen... I am so happy to have met you, Tobirama," she whispered.

"Yes, my love..."

Tobirama began as he gazed down at her, her hand still in his hair. His lips traced up her wrist ending with a kiss of her palm of her hand.

"I promise you that I will do everything in my power to take care of you and the twins." He leaned forward and nuzzled her neck softly. "I love you so very much, Kana. I love you more than my own life, more than anything or anyone else."

Tobirama gently kissed her lips and she parted her lips for his.

"I promise you, forever... I will always be yours. " She leaned her head back, accepting his lips. Tobirama pulled back and gazed into her eyes as he gently stroked her cheeks. He sat back, cupping her face in his hands. Slowly, his lips parted and he sank into the kiss.

"Now please get some sleep, My beloved." He grinned, staring into her beautiful gray eyes. "Tomorrow morning we are off."
