Ch358. Reunion 1

Rei stretched as he shuffled into a sitting position on the edge of the bed, his eyes straying at the naked form of Tsunade who laid lazily on the bed like a cat with her eyes half-closed with contentment, enjoying the pleasant soreness of her body caused by the post-coital bliss.

"Mmm~, don't go." Tsunade whinily uttered, catching Rei's wrist with her hand which caused her to involuntarily shift her body and plant her face into the pillows with a girlish giggle.

A smile appeared on Rei's face as he watched her antics with a small headshake. He shuffled closer to her and gently ran his free hand along Tsunade's bare back, starting from her shoulder, causing her to shudder in anticipation as his fingers caressed the skin on her back before they got lower, reaching her posterior. The ticklish touch made Tsunade quietly squeal in delight and subconsciously raise her rear with desire but she was disappointed and let out a whiny groan when Rei's fingers didn't stop and continued, stroking the back of her thigh where they stopped, causing her to very unwillingly lift her head and give Rei an unamused look that silently informed him he better listen to her or else...

"No can do." Rei rejected her silent threat with an amused, yet somewhat innocent smile as if he just didn't make her hot and bothered. "My seals just detected Mei entering the compound with her team and the Sand siblings are already here too. We should go and greet them. You know... since they are technically the guests of the Daimyo." Rei said and lowered his head, deciding to indulge Tsunade and kiss her since she was basically begging for it with her eyes.

When she tried to deepen it and her hand slowly snaked towards his crotch, Rei quickly put a stop to it by ending the kiss and playfully shoving her body away, making her roll over on the bed as he rolled his eyes at her not-so-subtle attempt to ditch her duties for sex.

"Fuck the guests." Tsunade groaned into a pillow, clutching it tightly to her face in a petulant manner. Realizing she won't be able to sway him to have another round, she glanced at Rei, noticing he was having fun at her expense, she huffed, "You are no fun."

Rei sighed, too aware of the calculating glint that passed through Tsunade's eye that was watching him like a hawk. He knew what he had to do to get her out of bed and it honestly made him involuntarily smile at her little ploy.

"Fine," He exaggeratedly exclaimed, "What nefarious bribery will I have to bestow upon my Lady for her to consider getting her ass out of the bed?" He dramatically asked with no small hint of sarcasm.

"Why, my Lord, as the saying goes, eye for an eye, pleasure for pleasure. I will require of you a promise of spending at least three nights of every week with me for as long as we are in Konoha. That should be a worthy offering for asking such a huge and demanding favor of my ass." Tsunade said and pulled herself into a sitting position, making sure to show off her body in an attempt to entice Rei.

Rei knew what she was doing and it amused him to no end. Tsunade was one of his more sexually demanding wives. It had to do something with her sage arts and focus on physical training. Normally, though, Tsunade kept herself at bay in respect for Rei's other wives.

But now, they were on her turf, and for the duration of the Chunin Exams, she apparently decided to act a bit selfish and spoiled, demanding a bigger part of Rei's time. Rei knew she did so only because she was fully aware that Konan, Pakura, and Ringo were all too busy with the event though.

As such, Tsunade clearly decided to indulge herself.

"Since you give me no other choice, my Lady." Rei dramatically sighed and reached towards her head, affectionately ruffling her already messy hair, "It shall be done."

"Happy to hear that." Tsunade contently said and her lips stretched into a satisfied smile as she leaned her head more into Rei's palm.

Rei suddenly smirked and made use of the situation and Tsunade's momentary distraction by flicking her on the forehead, causing her head to snap backward and utterly breaking the sweet and warm atmosphere between them.

"Well, then, time to move your ass, my Lady." He jokingly quipped and left the bed, leaving Tsunade gaping at the audacity of her husband.

An hour later, Rei and Tsunade left their chambers, hand in hand, even though Tsunade was slightly glaring at the amused Rei who was soothingly rubbing his thumb on the back of her hand, making it that much harder for her to properly put the necessary emotion behind her glare. Tsunade was aware it came out mostly as a cute pout because of that but she was unwilling to stop the pleasant tingling this little motion was giving her.

The worst part? She couldn't even relegate him to the couch guard duty since this was supposed to be her chance at having more 'Rei time' of her own!

Life sometimes sucked...

But as they say, when life brings you lemons, you gotta make lemonade. Tsunade totally intended to fully milk her alone time with Rei and get the most of it.

They were nearing the courtyard when suddenly Rei came under attack from behind... ending up with Mei glued to him out of nowhere and pressing her chest into his back, her legs locked around his waist while her hands were hugging him around his neck.

"Long time no see, R-e-i." She seductively whispered into his ear. "It wasn't nice of you to leave us for two weeks." She petulantly complained with a small whine in her tone.

Before Rei could react, Tsunade snorted, attracting Mei's attention to herself. "Well, get used to it. Unlike us big girls who have villages to supervise, you have a chance to be with him almost nonstop." She snidely remarked without any real heat behind it.

"Hmm..." Mei gave out a long pondering hum in response before her lips stretched into a mischievous smile, "I distinctly remember that, unlike Ringo and Pakura, you took over your village out of your own volition, Tsu-chan. You really have no right to complain about that, ya know?" She cheerily said with a very teasing and punchable grin on her face, causing a vein to pop on Tsunade's forehead.

"Heh, I see you became a smart ass in the time we didn't see each other, Mei. I thought I raised you better than that." Tsunade's eye twitched and both Rei and Mei could see an illusion of her cracking her knuckles behind her despite Tsunade not pulling her hand from Rei's. "Looks like you are up for a few remedial lessons in tough love."

"Hell, nah. I'mma good." Mei dryly refused. Before Tsunade could reply, Mei turned back to Rei with the full intention of ignoring the previous topic, "Anyway, I brought the Uzushio team for the Chunin Exams. I must say, they were a delight to train this past month!" She exclaimed, erratically moving up and down on Rei's back from the excitement.

"I didn't want you to train them though." Rei's lips twitched. The 'genin' team was already too strong. They did not need more training.

"Huh?" Mei cutely tilted her head before she blinked and scrunched her nose as if heavily thinking. "I thought that was implied."

"You... thought?" Tsunade almost stopped in her tracks from shock, making Mei pout at the stark disbelief shown on her face. "Didn't know that was possible."

"Now you are just needlessly mean." Mei grumbled just as they reached the courtyard and halted just before they revealed their presence as they noticed that Karin was currently having a one-sided stare-off with heavily confused Naruto.

Knowing something interesting was about to happen, they used a bit of their supposed ninja training and became quiet, blending into the surroundings with a genjutsu as they waited for the ensuing Uzumaki get-together with anticipation.
