Mei's Love

" Anata! Say aaaaa! "

Mei was trying to open her mouth wide to show how to say aaa, and Mizuki was wondering why he decided to give this demonic lady a lesson back then.. lesson she did get, but now she was stuck like leech to him.

" Mei san, I really don't- "

Mizuki couldn't speak anymore as Mei had happily stuffed the food in his mouth while he was talking...

" Yeeeah! "

Clapped Mei, Mizuki wasn't very comfortable dealing with her, the deadly seductive Kunoichi he could deal with, but he could sense all this was real, she was totally into her find a husband phase right now.

" Why must you do this Mei san, you don't even know who I am.. "

Mei tilted her head as she said.

" You can't say that now! We kissed each other for so long! "

Mizuki corrected her.

" We were trying to kill each other. "

Mei Ignored that with a wave

" But you didn't kill me! So it doesn't count! "

Mizuki twitched his lips, it matters not what he says, she wasn't ready to listen in the first place.

Mizuki shook his head, he knew Mei had two very real phases, she really wanted to find a husband who can handle her, and she truly wanted to protect the mist village she originated from.

' I happen to check both her criteria's by accident, I only wanted to check the village savior one. '

Selling a personal favour was Mizuki's plan, before the coup nobody knows who will succeed, but Mizuki knew this woman will succeed in the coup!

So he had come along to sell his favour to the future Mizukage, for all she would know, his help was vital in saving mist village.

' It can still be done, but I have to deal with her laser foucus to marry me in between.. well, hopefully my identity as Konoha's future Kage stops her from her antics. '

But Mizuki being Mizuki, knew what would stop her actions right now, the second thing she attaches equal importance to!

" Mei san, what are you to do about the coup. "

Mei stopped trying to feed him her home cooked fish, and started smiling coyly, she was back to her deadly Kunoichi persona.

" The coup.. I wouldn't want to word it like that Ananta.. But it is what it is.. Have you heard of our second name, the blood mist village? "

Mizuki was praising Mei, just within this one sentence there are traps littered all over, if he says yes, she would start exploring how much he knew, that would point her to his possible origins!

If he says no she will go down further, dropping more hints until one clicks and Mizuki is trapped, easily revealing his identity.

And lastly if he doesn't say anything, she will go back to feeding him again, dropping the topic entirely, which she understood wasn't what Mizuki wanted to do.

" You are a smart girl. Mei san. "

Smiling widely due to his compliment, Mei too gave a praise of her own.

" I don't expect anything less from you! Anata! "

Mei understood Mizuki's intention, he had realised her trap, and Mizuki understood Mei's intention as well, she didn't care if he did, he was trapped anyway.

Of course, Mizuki wasn't really trapped, there is a fourth and fifth option Mizuki could create on the spot, but that would go against his intention of coming here, to sell a favor.

" I do know about it, it's quite the brutal environment the Mist has found itself in. "

Mei smiled at his soft words, as she crawled towards Mizuki, then whispered.

" Yes! I wonder how Mizuki san knows about the extent of brutality here, it's not quite well known now is it.. "

Trying to tempt me to lose my composure and give out information, not gonna work on me.

Mizuki turned towards her as well, not moving from his spot in the slightest, then he smilingly broke her attempt.

" I wonder about that too Mei san.. "

" " Hahahah! " "

Both laughed out loud, they were having fun playing words games with each other, it was all out in the open so it was even more fun for both of them.

After all, there wasn't any penalty for losing, Mei will just not know where he came from immediately, and Mizuki can stretch it out some more in the meantime.

As Mizuki continued his mental games with the thrilled Mei he had the leisure to think about his situation.

' This is actually fun, who knew I would be having fun coming to Mist village.. '

Looking into Mei's green eyes Mizuki continued his banter as she lay trap after trap for him to cross.

" That won't do! "

" No it will! "

* Giggle *

Arguments, distractions, pettyness, everything was being used.

Mizuki and Mei were having a great time!

As if previously planned, they stopped for a second, both looked into each other's eyes.

Each had a different thought running across their minds.

' He is scarily competent! A well trained Shinobi of the finest class, this is it! I have found him! My Anata! Nobody can stop our match! It's a match made in heaven! '

' This is great, I don't get to have fun like this all the time, the last time I had a conversation this intense was with Lumi, even that was a battle of wits for survival, but this, this is purely fun, I got nothing to lose! Nice. '

Mei and Mizuki each finished their respective thoughts, each understanding the exact moment the other finished the thought decided to launch an attack yet again!

This was too intense for either one to stop.

Meanwhile Chojuro was asking Ao.

" Are they going to make mooney eyes at each other all day long like that...? "

Ao was simply rubbing the bridge of his nose.

" I really hope not.. "

Said Ao.

Both of them looked at each other and nodded, they will leave these two alone, he wasn't a threat, and Mei sama won't be happy if they broke them up anyway.

' ' Let them be ' '

Was their combined thought, as they left the building and closed the door behind them.
