The beginning of their future. [P.Vivi and Aiai]

Akina smirked slightly.
She noticed he was using another technique that was similar to what he
had used to bring up the boulder from the earth, except he used it to conjure
up flaming whips. She mentally cursed
her luck for getting closer to Viper, because at the rate that he sent the
whips horizontally at her, she had to bend over backwards quicker than she had
expected, so she flung her arms around quickly, trying to regain her
balance. She felt gravity pulling her to
the ground fast. She found herself
looking up at the night sky when the whips lashed out over her head. Thinking fast, she rolled to the left and
returned to her feet by rolling forward.
She had hoped that this action would impress Viper, though she highly
doubted that it would. Still, there was
a smile on her face, as she delivered a strike to the Hokage’s right arm with
her right palm, after walking closer to him.
She quickly backed away after the strike was fully extended and would
have been delivered, because she wanted to gain some distance between her and
the man who claimed she was to be his husband.
This fact still surprised her.
She thought it would take more time for a commitment like this to
develop between them.


Still something was making her happy to be fighting like
this. Even if she couldn’t win, there
was something about this that she loved doing.
“I’m having fun, Viper-dono…” Her
stomach rumbled loudly, and she found her thoughts drifting from a battle to
Ichiraku’s ramen shop. Her eyes drifted
toward the shop’s direction, and she secretly hoped Viper wouldn’t notice, but
somehow she knew he had seen it. She
smiled sheepishly and chuckled slightly, trying to pass her hunger off as a
joke.


She realized that she had a kunai in her kimono pocket. Cautiously, she gripped the kunai with her
left hand. Her silver eyes gleamed
fiercely, despite her being tired and wanting to go home for a rest. Her arm was stiff and strong as she nodded
slightly to herself and smirked. Her
hand revealed itself from her pocket, and with a simple flick of her wrist, she
sent the kunai flying straight at Viper.
Her body sank to the ground, causing her knees to impact the grass with
a thud. She winced with pain. Her Byakugan vanished and she realized all
too soon that her precise chakra control had gone, and had she tried to conjure
up a justu, it would have failed. There
was an aloof smile on her face. “Told
you…I wasn’t…afraid, Viper-dono.” She chuckled harshly.

Viper once again watches as she evades his threads, the flaming whip fading as it proves to be a waste keeping it active considering its main function was built for murder and torture, he would keep that use banned from this battle.
Viper watches as her strike comes forth, she still has not mastered her Byakugan but that did not make her movements any less dangerous, as a precaution he turns his upper body to the right bringing his arm back thus having her impact air, he watches her take her distance afterwards, followed by the notable growl of her stomach.
This makes Viper chuckle a tad, the two have been training from early in the morning to late at night, perhaps it is time to end their training for the day.
Just as this thought crosses his mind a kunai is launched towards him, Viper turns his upper body back to the left flattening out his hand as he sweeps it in front of him, the inner side of his palm impacts the kunai as a god like act occurs, Viper's palm passes through the kunai erasing it from this plane of existence, one of his custom techniques, the Jigen Tou.
He watches as she drops to her knees exhausted, he takes a few steps towards her and hears her words, Viper smirks and extends his right hand towards her the jutsu already canceled.
"Here, lets go get something to eat" He says with a smile awaiting her to take his hand.

Akina smiled weakly.
For reason, she was crying slightly.
They were happy tears, but she still felt pathetic for not being able to
walk at all right now. Her hand was
limp, but it grasped Viper’s hand as strongly as she could. “I’m sorry, Viper-dono…” Some sobs came out
of her mouth unexpectedly. Her whole
body was trembling violently. “I am
about to shame you because I can’t walk…I can’t do anything right now…my chakra…it…left
me like this.” Her stomach rumbled
loudly and she almost went into hysterics, but she remembered her self
control. She hung her head down
deeply. “Please, dono…I have already
failed you, so please, pick the punishment I must endure. I’ll go without food. I’ll go without drink. I don’t care what it is, I’ll bear my shame
admirably.” Her eyes were pleading and
yet determined as she spoke.

Viper hears her words and he sighs, she is still treating him as the Hokage and not as a person. His next actions are bound to be a surprise to the girl, Viper pulls on her arm as his other slides under her allowing him to place her on his back, he leans forward a bit allowing her to place her arms around his neck to further hang on.
"Do you think I would punish you for doing a magnificent job on your training?" Viper questions.
Within his right pocket a slight pulsing is felt, he reaches his right hand in his pocket only to pull out a small spherical gem, he notes it is time.
Viper extends his index and middle fingers only to form a kage bunshin from a cloud of smoke, he hands the stone to the clone as it swirls entering his own world.
It is here a shrine is set up deep within the realm, upon an alter the clone places the stone, chakra flows forth in to it as the stone pulses, chakra begins to resonate from it as upon the alter begins to form an exact replica of Viper Uchiha garbed in the Hokage's battle uniform.
Once done the clone grabs the stone only for it to slowly fade and swirl teleporting itself back in to the originals pocket, the clone vanishing in a puff of smoke.
Viper feels the stone reappear and gets the memories of the clones action, he begins walking now to make his way towards Ichiraku's wondering if it will still be open this late.

Akina’s body slid above Viper’s. She heard his sigh, and realized he had gone
too far. She gripped around his
shoulders tightly and tried to keep her legs from dragging on the ground. She
sighed as her head rested on his right shoulder. Her eyelids drooped a little, and her
breathing slowed slightly, but she forced herself to stay awake. “Viper…” she whispered slowly. “It’s…hard for me…to treat you like a person
all the time because…you are so high above me in rank, and…training was
rewarding today. Where should I sleep
tonight?” Her voice trailed off slightly
as everything seemed so blurry and drowsy.
She closed her eyes slowly in order to relax, when she murmured, “Do you
think I really did that well?” She was
skeptical in spite of herself. Her grip
loosened around Viper’s shoulders, showing that she was falling asleep. She jerked herself awake many times, trying
her best to stay conscious, but it did no good, and soon the girl found herself
comfortably draped over Viper, sleeping soundly. The lights of Konoha did not bother her when
they entered the village again. She wasn’t
even worried about what her aunt and uncle would say to her later; all she
cared about was some rest before food.


Ichiraku ramen scent wafted in the air and somewhat brought
her to senses. She was half-awake and
half-dreaming. “Ne, Oto-san…” She
murmured dreamily. “Ichiraku ramen
onegai?” She giggled slightly as though she was being tickled. “Dad…hey, dad…stop…heheheh…I’m hungry…what
are you…?” Her murmurs stopped abruptly
as she shifted sleepily on her “pillow”.
She was smiling despite herself, and another smile was plastered on her
lips. “Ne, ne, mama…oto-san, tell me
what mama was like…this ramen is so delicious…” She sighed nervously and
twitched uneasily on Viper’s back. “Yes,
oto-san…I understand. I’m sorry…I’ll not
bring it up like that again…” Her
twitching continued, and she found herself whimpering and groaning in her sleep. When she opened her eyes again, she saw she
was in Konoha once more.
