Chapter 167
Title: Shiori...
….
-Shiori (MC's Future Wife) POV-
When I open the door the first thing my eyes land on is my future husband, I only recognized that it is him because his photo in the Bingo Book. He is sitting on a big dining table, next to my father. They seem to be eating breakfast already.
He has spiky wild hair, and contrary to my expectations he wasn't in his ninja uniform, he is wearing black jeans and a black t-shirt with the words wolf written on it. He seemed just like your normal handsome young man… except that he also had his Inuzuka Clan tattoos on his cheeks, so that is another sign that it is him.
Neither did he seem to even be carrying any weapon… and… he had a genuinely happy smile on his face as he talked to my father.
"Hahahaha c'mon now father-in-law, if you say stuff like that. People might think that I will be Hokage only because of our friendship." Says my future husband. Only then did I notice that eight of the twelve Daimyo guardians were here. The others are most likely scouring the castle like always.
"So what, let them assume whatever they want. Me and you are friends Yami. After all, I will be your father-in-law soon. Obviously you should be the Hokage." Says my father with a smile on his face. But c'mon now father don't you know better than to not say things like that out loud. Wait… is that sake father is drinking.
As I closed the door, father seemed to finally notice me as he turned around and looked at me.
"Ah Shiori, you are here. Let me introduce you to someone. This is Yami Inuzuka, the future Hokage." Said father, as he started chuckling at the last part as if it was an inside joke with Yami, who too just smiled a little.
"C'mon father-in-law, you can't say stuff like that." Says Yami… who seemed genuinely a little embarrassed at this. That is surprising… an embarrassed ninja.
I just smiled slightly too. No need to make a bad impression on Yami. So better at least try and act nice… words are free after all.
"Nice to meet you Yami -san." I say greet him as I continue smiling.
He just looks at me and smiles back… it is genuine… how is that possible. Whenever a new man meets me for the first, he will always have a surprised face. But Yami seems completely unfazed by me. He didn't even try undressing me with his eyes.
It is impossible for him to deceive me. I can read people well… so he must be attracted to men then… well... I can work with that.
I just sat down on the table, next to my father and as I did so. Father immediately got up.
"Well I better leave you youngsters to your own conversations." Said father as he walked outside of the room… with his guardians all following him. Now the only ones left in this room are me, my maid and Yami Inuzuka… how do I bring up the conversation of his sexuality… then maybe we can work something out. He just has to let me be in charge of this.
As soon as I was about to say something, Yami handed me a letter.
[We are being spied on]
I just nodded… then I will speak normally and not say anything sensitive. I guess we can talk when we take the carriage to travel to Konoha. In one hour it should be ready.
I just put on a smile and ask. "So tell me how being a ninja is. It must definitely be exciting."
Suddenly he just smiles and says. "Well it probably isn't as exciting as you expect it to be. It's mostly just killing and torturing some enemy ninja every now and then."
WTF… did he really just say that… no way… I turn a little and give my trusty maid a side glance. Yep, she is pale in fear.
So he must be the type of man who is very straight forward then. It's a little hard to keep the smile on my face when he says stuff like that… but I can endure this.
"Oh… is that so… then tell me a little about your family then Yami." I try to change the subject and keep the conversation going.
His smile, ever present on his face as he says again. "Well my father died before I was born and my mother is alive, she is a nice woman. But she too almost died during the last war, it was from the stress of me going to the battlefield."
"O -Okay…" I don't know what to say to that, and the situation is getting kinda awkward so better say something. "So I hear that you have two beautiful daughters, tell me a little about them."
His face brightens. "Oh Hana and Yoruichi, Hana was born due to me having s*x with Tsume Inuzuka, a girl who I see as my sister."
When he says this his face is brutally honest, and it's getting painfully hard to keep a smile on my face. But he still continues saying.
"On the other hand, Yoruichi was born with a Kumo ninja I regularly fu*ked… since we are getting married, we gotta be honest… so I will just say… I suspect that my daughters were born out of a threesome we had."
What the hell is wrong with this man. I am half willing to marry a pig farmer than this guy. Contrary to his handsome looks he is not cool, nor charismatic, nor does he live up to his terrifying reputation. Also.. who says to their wife stuff like this.
….
Just like this one hour passes and Yami still continues telling me some of his ninja stories with terrifying details, that would make any normal person throw up.
"-so then my best friend and teammate Asutori died in my hands. I went to look for his sister Asume but she too was dead… killed by the chunin." Says Yami with a smile still on his face.
I am tired… in just one hour talking to him and I am already extremely tired. I will have to spend the rest of my life with him. I will probably throw myself off the Hokage Mountain within the first week I spend with him.
As Yami finishes his recent depressing and awkward story, the door to the room is opened. I turn around and see that it is a servant who just bows his head and says. "Your carriage is ready."
….
After that, we all go outside, only me, my maid, Yami and someone that Yami trusts will be riding the carriage.
But surprisingly when I go outside, instead of seeing the normal carriage. What I see is a giant… crocodile? Or maybe an alligator? With a small house on its back.
I… I have never seen something like this. So for a split second, my face expresses the surprise I am feeling. But that is quickly squashed as my face goes back to the polite smile.
….
Entering the carriage? Mini house… as it was quite high. Yami simply made a handsign and stairs appeared in a puff of smoke.
When we went inside, it was just like your average house, it even had running electricity somehow. It has a stove and all that.
Then I just waive at my father as the door closes. I sit down on a couch, and my maid also sits next to me.
When the creature, which we are technically sitting on top of, starts to move… surprisingly there is almost no shaking.
Well… this is actually way better than travelling in a carriage. But as Yami looks at the window, waving towards whom I can only assume is my father, he closes the curtains on the windows and turns on the lights.
When he turned around, he had his smile on his face still. But… there was something wrong… I just couldn't quite put my finger on it.
He sits next to me and pushes his body next to mine. The next thing I feel is a hand going around my shoulder, in a friendly gesture.
Suddenly the next words I hear come out of Yami's mouth are. "You aren't as smart as you think… little princess."
Immediately as soon as he said that… I got chills running down my spine.
….
A/N: Yami was acting all along, she just didn't notice it.
