Bab 381: Chapter – 376 More than anything in the World
And while Kuroto was trying to sneak into his own house he noticed Yui being present at his house, and sighed, 'Looks like I will have to walk in from the front door…'
Giving up on his earlier plans, Kuroto walked inside from the main gate.
"I am home…" – Kuroto said announcing his presence.
"Kuroto-kun… you are finally... back." – As soon as Yui realized that Kuroto is back, she hurried towards him and hugged him tightly.
Kuroto was surprised, he hurriedly caught her to prevent their fall, and let her hug him.
After the two had stood in the same position for a few minutes already, Kuroto asked while rubbing her back gently, "What's wrong? You seem unusually worried Yui."
Although he was being casual outside, internally Kuroto was really panicked, 'I just hope she doesn't realize my injuries… please don't realize it… please don't…"
Asked by Kuroto, she lifted her head and said with a gentle smile, "There is nothing wrong… it's just that you haven't been home for the past few months, I missed you a lot so I got a little emotional, that's all…"
Kuroto nodded, he brought his head closer to her left ear, and whispered lightly, "Well, I am back now, aren't I?"
Yui nodded and was about to say something when suddenly she noticed bandages wrapped around Kuroto's back through the gap in his collar.
Yui's face turned serious, "Kuroto-kun… you… you are injured… aren't you?"
Kuroto panicked, 'Oh come on… how the hell did she realize it even without using the Byakugan? I am perfectly sure that all my body movements are perfectly normal...'
Kuroto hurriedly said, "Don't worry these are just some skin injuries… will be healed soon enough…"
Yui gazed at Kuroto's face for a few seconds, then without saying much, she bit her lower lip and helped Kuroto walk inside.
Kuroto sighed and did not resist her help. To be honest he was really having some problem walking normally but made sure that it did not appear on his face until his façade was seen through by Yui.
After seating on the chair, Yui said silently, "I will call a medical-nin…"
However, before she could go, Kuroto held her hand and said, "Yui… my injuries are not serious… it will be fine in a short while… having a medical-nin is not needed… moreover, they wouldn't be able to solve the problem in the first place…"
Yui said, "But…"
Kuroto did not allow her to reason with him and quickly said, "Trust me… this is not a problem that a medical-nin can solve…"
Yui deeply looked at Kuroto's eyes… those eyes that were asking her to not call a medical-nin.
Yui is already aware of what happened to the tri-Alliance in their raid against Akatsuki.
She is not a Jonin… but she is very much aware of the devastating defeat that Konoha suffered.
She was really worried because Kuroto hasn't been home for the past few months.
There was even no update in his status… she was really flustered… Especially considering how dangerous Akatsuki is and how high the death toll of Anbu in the recent raid is… Yui was obviously worried that something might have happened to him…
Even after so much time had passed since the news of the raid was announced, there was no update in his status… Nor was there any news from him. Those working in Anbu generally die silently, she was worried that she might receive a death notice soon.
Even if she trusts his strength… even if she believes in his promise… as a woman, she can't help but be worried…
So when she noticed that Kuroto has come back safely she was relieved, also a bit emotional she couldn't stop the urge to hug him tightly.
Just when she thought that he has safely returned, she realized that he is seriously injured… being seriously injured is nothing new for a shinobi… so she is worried, but also happy that Kuroto-kun has come back alive.
She was glad that he is at least alive… and the injury can be treated by a medical-nin…
But he refuses to let medical-nin check upon his situation?
While Yui was busy in thought, Kuroto pulled her towards him… with the distance between the two very minimal, he said, "I am sorry for making you worried…"
How can Kuroto not notice the worry in her eyes? He had realized it but chose not to bring it up.
Yui shook her head and said, "It's not a problem Kuroto-Kun… so long as you are safe, everything is alright."
Kuroto nodded and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."
Yui nodded and did not say anything more.
At this time Kuroto asked, "By the way, while I was coming home, I noticed that the atmosphere in the Clan was a bit downcast… did something happen?"
Yui nodded, and said, "Four days ago, Himeji-sama passed away…"
Kuroto sighed, he wasn't much surprised, but asked nonetheless, "Was it a natural death… or…?"
Yui replied with a sad expression, "It was a natural death… Sensei's health had already started to decline even before her second pregnancy… and after she gave birth to Hanabi-chan her health deteriorated further… she was mostly on bed rests… and four days ago… she passed away…"
Kuroto nodded, "I see…"
Both sat in silence…
'Hyuga Himeji (name assumed), wife of Hyuga Hiashi, mother of Hyuga Hinata, and Hyuga Hanabi, and also Yui's sensei passed away, huh?'
"How is Hiashi-sama?" – Kuroto asked.
Yui said with a bit of melancholy, "He seems to be doing fine on the outside… but internally…"
Kuroto nodded, "I will go to meet him after I recover…"
Yui nodded, and said, "Two days prior to her demise, Himeji-sama asked me to be Hinata-chan's Sensei…"
Kuroto nodded, "It's not strange I guess… you are her only disciple… so it is quite obvious that she would entrust you with this… besides, your strength should have also reached the level of an elite Jonin… so her choice is quite thoughtful."
Yui nodded silently.
At this time, Kuroto asked again, "And where is Shion-chan?"
Yui said, "She is living at my home for the past few months. You are mostly out on missions Kuroto-Kun, and well Patriarch was worried about her safety so she is living at my home... besides, I have to also instruct Hinata-chan on these things, so it's better to have Shion-chan stay with me."
Kuroto nodded gratefully, "Sorry for causing you so much trouble."
Yui shook her head and said with a smile, "It's not really a problem, well, Oka-san and Otou-san have taken a liking to her, and really spoil her… ahahaha… I don't blame them, she is indeed Kawaii… and also-…" Yui stopped midway as she suddenly remembered something that her Oka-san and Otou-san have started to pester her about.
Kuroto asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Asked by Kuroto, Yui suddenly lowered her head as a visible blush appeared on her face, "We… well… Oka-san and Otou-san have been asking me for a while now?"
Kuroto asked with a frown, "What are they asking?"
Yui raised her face, but she did not match her eyes with Kuroto and said, "We... well… they have been asking when are we going to… you know… going to… let them see… faces of their grandchildren…"
"Cough-cough… cough-cough…" – Kuroto suddenly coughed
Yui hurriedly said, "I have already told Oka-san repeatedly that even if I and Kuroto-Kun have slept together a few times… it was just casual sleeping… we have yet to break the final wall… B… besides, we are too young to have children… and we aren't even married yet… so having children is more of a distant thought… but she just wouldn't listen."
Kuroto sighed and bowed his head in apology, "It's my fault… I have been too busy with my goals… that I…"
"Shh." – However, Yui did not allow Kuroto to complete his words, she covered Kuroto's mouth with her fingers, as she brought her head closer to him, and now with their foreheads touching together, she said seriously, "Shh, never apologize Kuroto-Kun… never… It's not your fault… your goals are my goals… your dreams are my dream… your happiness is my happiness… you are my pride and joy Kuroto-kun… you are everything to me… we can have children when we feel we are ready… for now focus on accomplishing your dream Kuroto-Kun… I may not have the strength to stand by your side, but I will always be watching you from behind… I will always be there whenever you need me… for I have always and will always love you more than anything in the world…" – After she finished speaking, she kissed Kuroto's forehead.
After Yui had kissed his forehead, Kuroto held her, brought her face closer to his… eyes gazing at each other's without blinking… her lips closer to his… eyes closed in expectation… and lips gently touched… they felt soft… slight moist… and warm.
