"Yugao-nee... you saw it today?", Hearing this, Aoba immediately understood.
So his affair with Hinata had really been discovered. He remembered there being no one around at the time.
'Could it be that next time I do something with Hinata, I'll really have to activate my Kagura's Mind Eye?'
'Otherwise, if someone sees us again, won't I end up being split into five parts?'
Seeing Aoba's expression, Yugao instantly knew his thoughts had probably wandered back to that girl Hinata again.
Here she was, his elder sister, sitting right on top of him, and yet his mind could still drift away.
She suddenly felt a stifling sensation in her chest.
She was so irritated she could barely breathe.
Already, she was so angry she felt a little dizzy.
"You still haven't answered my question! Whose taste is better?", Yugao puffed out her cheeks, an expression she rarely showed.
Normally, even when angry, she would just narrow her eyes rather than puff her cheeks.
Aoba didn't answer. Instead, he pulled Yugao down again.
The two pressed against each other once more.
After separating, Aoba silently stared at her.
If she kept asking, he'd just have to do it again.
Yugao wiped her lips, her flushed face carrying a complicated, aggrieved expression, "I never realized you were already this skilled, Aoba..."
"This...", Aoba moved to press against her again, but Yugao held his head in place.
"Aoba, at this point, your sister can't stop anymore."
Yugao felt her head spinning a little.
She leaned down again, first lightly kissing Aoba's forehead.
Then she stood up.
Aoba's eyes widened.
This angle...
He could clearly see a flash of purple.
"Yugao-nee... mmmph!"
Yugao directly placed her right foot on his face.
Her expression was one of confusion, disbelief, and a hint of resignation.
"Aoba, you really are a bit of a pervert, huh? To think you'd like a girl's feet and all that."
"Mmmph!", Aoba couldn't refute, because his mouth was blocked.
"But it's fine. Your sister can accept it. Besides, I just washed them very thoroughly, so it's okay if you taste them a little."
As she spoke, Yugao shed the last layer of her armor.
On a summer night, even without armor, one wouldn't feel cold.
"Mmmph! Mmmph!", Aoba's eyes widened further.
"Aoba, you're an adult now. You wouldn't want to make your sister cry, would you?", Yugao's foot trailed downward.
———
The night was hazy.
Sparse starlight scattered across the darkness.
"...Aoba... I can't anymore...", In just a single day, Yugao had accidentally lost quite a few important things.
Even though she was now a jōnin and a Hokage Guard, with multiple salaries and no lack of money, it still stung a little.
"Yugao-nee is so careless. What a useless sister," Aoba mercilessly mocked her, wearing a smug, bratty grin.
But the situation quickly reversed.
"Ow! Yugao-nee, why are you biting me?"
"Wait, that's cheating!"
"..."
"Completely recovered..."
———
The blood-soaked night finally passed.
[The Next Day]
Unsurprisingly, Aoba woke up late again, not rising until nearly noon.
When he awoke, his limbs felt icy cold, his back and waist sore.
His shoulders bore numerous bite marks, some from when Yugao cheated, others from when she took flight.
For the first time, he felt the Uzumaki bloodline was such an inconvenient thing.
A single bite, and he was back at full strength.
Who could withstand that?
If he hadn't desperately covered Yugao's mouth in the end, he probably wouldn't have gotten up today at all.
He suddenly thought, 'What if, in the future, Tenten and the others were added to the mix?' A shiver ran down his spine.
'Will I end up being sucked dry?'
He violently shook his head, dispelling the distracting thoughts, and lowered his gaze to Yugao in his arms.
At this moment, Yugao was clinging tightly to Aoba, her head resting against his chest.
This posture was honestly a little strange, since Yugao was slightly taller than him.
But right now, her eyelashes and the corners of her eyes were still damp with tears, her usually cool face carrying a hint of soft allure.
She looked nothing like her usual composed, elder-sister self.
He reached out, tidying the messy strands of hair by her ear.
Then couldn't resist poking her soft, pink cheek.
This version of his sister was even cuter than her usual beautiful self.
As if sensing something, Yugao's eyelashes fluttered.
Her green eyes, still glistening with tears and something warmer, met Aoba's gaze.
Feeling his warmth, her cheeks flushed briefly before she quickly buried her face again.
Not daring to look at him.
Aoba couldn't help but sigh.
'Weren't you pretty bold last night?'
A while later, Yugao suddenly lifted her face and lightly kissed the corner of his mouth.
Then she slipped out of his arms, curling up under the blanket with her back to him.
"Go on, leave!"
"?", Aoba's eyes widened.
'What kind of talk is that?'
'What does she take me for? Some kind of boy toy?'
"Based on your original plans, today was supposed to be for meeting Ino, right?", Yugao added.
Aoba's eyes widened further, "You want me to go see Ino now? You're not mad?"
"Hmph! Go if you want. After all these years, I'm used to it."
In any case, the most precious thing had already been claimed by her.
Besides, she needed some time to recover now.
Last night, they hadn't taken any precautions. Even with chakra, it was better to get checked just to be safe.
Yugao snorted lightly, then turned back to gaze at him with deep, unreadable eyes, "I can tolerate Ino and the others, but you must come back at night."
Gulp!
Staring into Yugao's faintly glowing green eyes, Aoba swallowed hard.
'No! I have to find a way to seal this ability!'
"Yugao-nee, what about your body—"
"Want to go again?"
"..."
"I'll go make breakfast..."
Aoba rolled out of bed, grabbed his clothes, and fled.
"Pfft!", Watching his retreating figure, Yugao couldn't help but laugh.
Though it had all been rather sudden, she didn't regret it.
No matter what, she had been thoroughly satisfied last night.
After nurturing him for so long, she had finally gotten to eat.
To say she was completely fine with Ino and the others would be a lie, but after all these years, she had somewhat adjusted.
Let Aoba go spend time with them. But if they wanted to take things further? Not so easy.
As long as she made sure to... every night, Aoba probably wouldn't have any energy left to spare.
Recalling last night again, Yugao's usually cool expression burned red. She buried her head under the blanket, wrapping herself into a dumpling and rolling around.
The blanket had been changed by Aoba before they slept.
Otherwise, it would've been unusable.
———
[Bathroom]
Aoba hesitated as he stared at his arm, still bearing Yugao's bite marks.
After a moment's pause, he bit down on it as well.
Instantly, his back no longer ached, his waist no longer hurt, his entire body was back in fighting condition.
'No wonder...'
Though the bite marks on his body wouldn't fade anytime soon.
He'd have to wear long sleeves when meeting Ino later.
'Sorry, Ino...'
'Even though I've already... my heart is still with you.'
