Chapter 9: Young at Heart; Slight Revelation!
Eio yawned and woke up to find his face nestled on Asuka's breast. He felt the soft sensation under his left cheek and closed his eyes once again.
It was already dawn and he could feel slight movements from his side.
"Good morning, darling!"
Ryu opened his eyes and woke up with a yawn. He looked at Asuka sleeping peacefully with his son on her chest and smiled softly.
He kissed her forehead and touched Eio's head lightly.
He rubbed his eyes and got up. Their bed was already unkempt as the three of them moved a lot during their sleep.
"Uhh... what should I cook today?"
He groaned and got out of the bed. He felt a headache when he thought of the meal for breakfast. It has always been hard to select a meal.
"How does she cook breakfast and dinner every day?"
He always had this thought in his heart. He himself wasn't at home every day and needed to complete some missions to bring money to the house and support his Wife and Son.
Asuka had also decided to retire from her former glory and become a full-fledged housewife.
"She became better at cooking during our escape."
Ryu couldn't help but recall their past passion. His mouth tilted lightly and his heart felt young again.
Even though he was only 26 years old and had just reached towards his prime age, he had gone through suffering and hardship after a few years he was born.
His experience made his heart dull and only his wife could create a colourful place of her own inside his grey and aged heart.
He recalled their first meeting. The moment when both of their eyes connected. The way they stood apart from each other by the sides of their family and felt genuine curiosity towards each other.
"Hehe."
He remembered their first kiss under the harsh downpour. Even when the cold rain fell on their body, their hearts warmed each other's body as they sat silently in each other's company. He couldn't help but smile foolishly.
At that time, he wasn't strong and was oy renowned for his potential and talent. But Asuka was different from him. She had actual strength and had a say in her family. Even then, she decided to give him a chance.
They both knew that falling for each other would be a terrible mistake, but what could they do? They were both young and hot-headed. They enjoyed each other's company even when the circumstances opposed their relationship.
He looked at Asuka and Eio covered in a warm blanket and their peaceful faces.
"Well, the results aren't bad!"
He smiled and finally got up from the bed.
"But.... what should I cook?"
He fell into a dilemma once more.
The sun finally came up and most of the village had been sent into a busy activity. Asuka had also woken up and Eio had to reluctantly wake up himself.
"Morning."
Asuka rubbed her eyes and hugged Ryu from behind.
"Ah! So refreshing~!"
She smiled and buried her face deeper. Her whole body felt energized and she felt that she could face anything.
"Morning, your Highness!"
Ryu chuckled and held her hands closer to his face and kissed her fingers. He felt warm and refreshed when he felt her soft and lithe body rubbing against his back.
She was wearing a white top that only reached her navel and a regular fit, black-colored hot pants. Her hair was still unkempt, but Ryu didn't care.
After recharging, Asuka let go of her husband's back and let her hands roam his body. Her expression turned mischievous and she smiled slyly.
But who was Ryu? He has already mastered the technique of handling his wife!
He immediately rubbed his hands lightly and held both of her roguish hands and separated both of her index fingers. Asuka felt slightly stunned and let Ryu do what he wanted.
She also held slight anticipation towards her husband.
He slowly held her index fingers and brought it closer to his face.
"Is he going to lick it? What about biting? Ooh, biting wouldn't be bad!"
Asuka's mind raced countless thoughts.
Under her expectant heart, her fingers were brought above Ryu's lips and both of her fingers were inserted inside his nostrils!
"...."
Asuka felt her mind go blank!
"Fuhahahaha! You are still a kid compared to yours truly!"
Ryu laughed loudly and Asuka's temper reached its peak.
Ryu immediately ducked as a fist passed through his previous position. He immediately appeared behind Asuka and slapped her butt.
Paa
Her cheeks trembled and Ryu could see the ripple from her hot pants.
"You may be Queen sometimes, but don't forget who is the King!"
Ryu laughed smugly and left a blushing Asuka alone in the kitchen.
"Sigh, he still plays around like a kid."
Asuka mumbled and completely forgot about her own actions. She quickly washed her hands in the washbasin and started to arrange the food on the table.
"Oh? I even have that playdate!"
Asuka tapped her head as she completely forgot about yesterday's encounter. Now she had to prepare some food for the playdate and also needed to prepare some materials and toys for Eio.
"Lalalala"
She hummed her signature tune and started to divide the food and served it on two plates while the rest was placed inside bowls and arranged on the table.
She wiped her hands with a hand towel and started preparing for today's events.
She took a small bag from her storeroom and started to fill it with different toys.
A red robot, a small ball, a plushie rat, a rubber kunai....
Toys of different genres found their place in the bag and she finally went back to the bedroom, where she saw Ryu getting ready for his next mission.
He was almost ready and only needed to put on his forehead protector.
"I wonder if Hina will still be mad at Kairo!"
Asuka spoke lightly and went near Eio and hugged his small body.
He was already awake and was rolling on the bed.
"Hmmm? I don't know. Personally, I feel sad for Hina. She is forbidden to have any external relationships by her clan and can only look her peers getting along and court each other."
Ryu shook his head as he looked into the mirror and tied his forehead protector.
"I know right! That Hyuga Clan is known for their uptight nature. Heck! Their Byakugan isn't as renowned as their stuck up personality."
Asuka snorted and hugged Eio.
"Speaking of Hyugas, the main clan also gave birth to a daughter. She is the same age as Eio."
Ryu looked at Eio and smiled.
"So?"
Asuka felt something off and looked at her husband.
"Hehe, wouldn't it be good if our Eio could charm their daughter. If I can get my hands on one of their corpses, my martial arts might just breakthrough!"
Ryu spoke with a longing expression.
Hearing his reason, Asuka scoffed!
"Cheh, just yesterday, you were saying that your heart couldn't bear our son going through the harsh treatment of the clan training! And now, you want to use our son to get into the Hyuga Family?"
Ryu quickly shook his head.
"It's not the same. The Hyugas are reputed to give birth to beautiful children and their beauty can be traced back to that Goddess! If Eio manages to make their daughter fall for him, he wouldn't lose anything and only gain benefits!"
Ryu smiled. He was confident about his and Asuka's genes.
"Whatever! He can choose whoever he likes! Why the hell we are talking about this now? And besides, even if he and that Hyuga girl fall for each other, do you think that their main clan would agree?"
Asuka smiled bitterly.
"What's not to agree? Our Clans may have lost their glory because of us, but we both inherited the clan and our strength can rival nation's! Our Son will never sell himself short because of a meager thing like status!"
Ryu spoke with pride!
"After all, only true strength matters in this world!"
He clenched his fist and smiled at Asuka.
Meanwhile, Eio's eyes were glowing like torches as his head rested on the soft pillows.
He was informed too much by a simple conversation!
