Hearing Ren’s fed-up tone when he spoke of Kumo and Kiri joining the Chunin Exams, Ino gave him a weirded-out look, but she soon shook her head, not bothering to ask the question that popped into her mind. She knew there was something behind his attitude, but she simply didn’t care enough to pry, knowing that Ren would tell her if he wanted her to know.

Instead, she decided to switch topics to something she was preparing herself to tell him for the whole day today.

“Do you have time after this?” She asked him, fidgeting in her seat a bit. “I have something I’d like to show you.”

“I wanted to do some scheming, but it can wait.” Ren remarked. “I will always have time for you.” He said, sending a burst of genuine affection to her through the telepathy seal, causing Ino to blush and go ‘awww’.

“Now you are just making things difficult for me.” Ino mock complained with an unceasing smile on her face. “I wanted to brag about what I accomplished, but now I feel a strong desire to just drag you to our bedroom.”

“Brag first, then bedroom?” Ren innocently suggested, causing Ino to giggle as she nodded and started to stand up.

“Bedroom, then bragging, it is!” She said and started to drag Ren toward their bedroom.

…

“Mhm. Still didn’t have enough?” Ino, clad in a pure white bathrobe, teasingly laughed and deliberately wiggled her body, pushing her shapely rear back, as Ren, only wearing slippers and boxers, hugged her from behind with his muscled arms, affectionately putting his cheek against hers.

“You are irresistible.” Ren smiled and pecked her cheek, making her giggle.

“Stop it. I am also exhausted.” Ino lightly complained and gently patted his hand that was resting over her stomach, holding her by her left hip. But it was just lip service. She didn’t protest at all as Ren’s other hand slipped into her bathrobe, tracing her thigh and heading up toward the curves of her posterior. No. Instead, she happily leaned into the touch, her cheeks becoming a little red.

Not that she would ever admit it out loud, and Ren knew better than to mention it.

With an exasperated huff, Ino rolled her eyes, her lips stretched into a delighted smile as she turned her face away from Ren’s, and tilted her head to the left.

Ren inwardly chuckled.

She wordlessly pretended it was to make drying her freshly showered hair easier. Her golden mane was freely hanging from her head in one big waterfall of blonde hair, almost reaching up to her mid-thighs. Her hair was really long. She usually wore it in a ponytail, so it was harder to notice.

Ren had to admit, he absolutely loved her fluffy hair. He had a sudden urge to pull on it again. But… doing it outside the bedroom would be just rude.

He refrained. Barely.

“You are adorable.” Ren whispered into her ear, making her acknowledge it with a hum.

But, of course, tilting her head also conveniently gave better access to her neck for Ren. Such a coincidence! He started tracing slow kisses on her neck in just the way she loved, making her muffle small mewling noises while in the mirror in front of them, Ren could see her languidly but carefully drag her hands over her hair, keeping her right hand a few inches away from it to prevent damaging her hair because Ino was channeling a bit of fire chakra into the palm of that hand, making into a makeshift hair dryer.

She claimed that doing it this way, with chakra, kept her hair in the best shape. She even had the audacity to shamelessly claim Ren now absolutely ‘had to’ marry her because this was a Yamanaka clan secret.

Their secret to fluffy hair.

Ren was not fooled. He had seen enough Yamanka to know they had nothing on Ino’s hair. And the fire chakra thingy she was doing was not something a normal ninja could do. The control was something maybe only a master of Fire Release could accomplish.

It was a subtle flex in the same way, just as the Hokage lighting his pipe with chakra was.

But for the sake of his continued happy life, he nodded in agreement to Ino’s demand. He was all for marrying her and Hinata. Once the whole mess with Kaguya was dealt with.

It was half the reason why he bothered to make a clan. There were certain allowances for… well, marrying multiple partners. It wasn’t exactly against the law, but being in a clan would make it easier.

Honestly, everything else concerning establishing a clan was just a downside.

Sure, he had more influence in the village and had his shop. But he’d rather spend that time cuddling with one of his girls. His shop? The politics? The alliances between clans? The paperwork?

It all took precious time he could be doing anything else. Ren honestly disliked it a little bit.

“Is something the matter?” Ino worriedly asked, pulling Ren out of his thoughts as her fingers intertwined with his right hand, the one on her hip. “You kinda spaced out.”

“Missing the kisses?” Ren chuckled and gently gave her one final kiss on her neck before he rested his chin on her shoulder and sighed. “We should stop here. You still wanted to show me something, didn’t you?” He said, and could see Ino amusedly raise her eyebrow at him in the mirror.

“I am not the one who is still fondling my thigh.” She gave him a foxy smile, bumping her thigh against his hand.

“Oh, believe me. I am fighting a very hard internal battle to fondle only your thigh.”

“Sage.” Ino mirthfully shook her head. “We are so bad without Hinata here to keep us in line.” She said, and after a bit of companionable silence, her smile slipped a bit. “It is a bit weird that I miss her presence?”

“No. I know exactly how you feel.” Ren moved his chin away from her shoulder and turned to look at her. She also turned her face toward his, and Ren smiled before stealing a quick kiss from her while she was distracted, cheering her up a bit.

This was not the first time they had sex without Hinata. In fact, having an individual fun time with one of his girls was more common than threesomes.

They just preferred it that way more often than not.

But usually, there was that slight trained ninja instinct flaring in the back of their mind, alerting them that somebody was watching. And they knew it was Hinata.

The Hyuga girl was quite the closet pervert. She just hid it well.

Then again, that was a common trait among all Hyugas.

It was that instinct, that raising of hair on the back of her neck, which denoted Hinata’s presence in the immediate vicinity, that Ino missed.

By now, Hinata would usually be bursting into the bathroom for hugs and cuddles. Ino would naturally complain. Hinata would call Ino a bimbo. Ino would call Hinata a bitch. And they would exchange some rather sharp-tongued remarks while the three of them kissed, fondled, and eventually ended up cuddling on the bed.

… Yes. Ren had to admit, it was obvious he also missed Hinata’s presence.

Just a little bit.

With a soft sigh, Ren let go of Ino, much to her wordless, whiny protests, and turned toward the shelf with his clothes. “Okay. I think that is enough of that. Let’s dress up, or we will never get to your big reveal.” He said, not exactly happy about it, and it showed in his tone, coming off as a bit petulant.

Ino snickered and turned around, leaning on the sink behind her as she gazed at Ren while he put on his clothes. When he was done and looked toward her, she gave him a sultry smile.

“Are you sure?” She leaned forward and put her right arm under her breasts before pushing them up a bit while pulling the bathrobe slightly to the side with her other hand, revealing just enough of her cleavage to be enticing.

Her eyes sparkled with expectant mirth as she waited for a certain reaction from Ren… but he just snorted, and smoothly threw her purple shirt at her head, making it land on it as it covered her bewildered expression.

“Hush. You are too tired for another round. Don’t tempt fate, girl.” Ren gravely said, imitating Neji as he noticed the small dark circles under her eyes. He even gave her a mock-arrogant look and turned up his nose at her to sell the image. “Fate is cruel. It decided no more dick for you today. Such is your destiny.”

He honestly could not say it with a straight face and cracked up by the end, grinning as Ino pulled the shirt off her face and returned his grin.

“Cursed fate.” Ino easily played along as she started to dress up. “But I will not give up. I shall overcome this cruel destiny. No matter what it takes! No sacrifice is too much to get dick.”

Ren wiped out a fake tear and dramatically shook his head with his arms crossed on his chest. “What a youthful resolve. From now on, you shall be known as Konoha’s Yellow Dick Vixen!”

Ino almost tripped on her way toward her cream on the other shelf as she heard it, and Ren smirked.

He totally got her with that.

“Mou. You make me sound like some sort of deviant.” She pouted as she started doing things with her beauty products that Ren didn’t really feel like describing because it might as well be magic to him.

He decided not to think about it.

But Ino was not done yet. “It’s not me who is so insatiable that even two horny teenage girls are not enough.” She pointed out, giving Ren a pointed look through the mirror.

And Ren’s smirk widened. Oh, she was still butthurt she could not figure out his small application of wind release that he used to keep his stamina from depleting.

He supercharged oxygen and his lungs with wind chakra in a very specific manner, and it practically boosted the process of making energy for his body to supernatural levels. Somehow. Ren had no idea how. He could not explain the details. It just worked.

And despite Ino’s absolute never-before-seen bullshit mastery over the Wind Element, she still could not get how Ren did that. He even explained it to her. But she lacked the same education he had in his past life. Some of the scientific terms meant absolutely nothing to her, and while Ren more or less, usually less than more, understood the underlying concepts, he could not properly explain them. He especially could not dumb it down enough for her to get it.

The girl could summon small hurricanes with her wind release, but this simple thing was beyond her. Ren found it hilarious.

Needless to say, Ino did not share his opinion on the matter.

The technique allowed him to pretty much never run out of stamina during a fight. Both in and outside of the bedroom. It was helluva convenient. Especially for handling, as she said, two horny teenage girls.

“But well, I’ve talked about this with Hinata, and maybe we will have some reinforcements soon.” Ino offhandedly said, causing Ren to grow confused. “Come.” She turned around, clothed and done with prettying herself up, and grabbed Ren’s arm, all excited and giddy with a big praise-me smile. “Let me show you what I have managed to do with Samui!”

Hearing her, Ren owlishly blinked

Chills suddenly went down his spine as his eyes widened.

Oh… Samui. He had forgotten about her!
