Yuna spent a few more hours pampering Hinata, and when it was early afternoon, Hinata said that she was satisfied with her compensation while murmuring something about feeling like delaying Yuna's leave any further would be dangerous.
Yuna couldn't help but chuckle at the words Hinata said under her breath. She had a pretty good idea of what she was talking about, and the moment she left Hinata's room and closed the door, the inevitable happened.
Robes shot at Yuna from everywhere, snaked into her clothes, and tied her up. Despite having ropes tied all around her body, Yuna didn't fall over and even had an amused smile on her face.
"That is a rather interesting technique you developed there, Anko."
When Yuna said her name, Anko appeared next to Yuna, threw her over her right shoulder like a sack of potatoes, and walked towards her room.
"Well, I had quite a bit of free time since I expected you to leave Hinata's room in the morning instead of the afternoon."
Hearing quite a bit of annoyance in Anko's voice, Yuna could only smile wryly.
"Yeah, sorry about that. I overdid it a little, and Hinata couldn't stand on her own when we woke up, so I decided to pamper her a bit as compensation."
Anko staggered a little when she heard that Hinata had problems standing, but a short moment later, she regained her composure, and a broad smile appeared on her face.
"Damn, she couldn't stand? You must have been quite hard on her, huh?"
"Not really. The problem wasn't how hard I played with her but for how long. It was already past midnight when we were done, and at that point in time, she wasn't even capable of forming a full sentence anymore, hahaha."
"*Whistle* That sounds intense. Well, since it is Hinata, she probably enjoyed every second of it."
"She did."
Moments later, a mischievous smile appeared on Yuna's face, and although Anko couldn't see her face, she immediately felt like Yuna was planning something interesting.
"How about I show you the memory in my mindscape when we have some free time."
A perverted grin appeared on Anko's face as she nodded her head in agreement.
"Hehe, but I want Hinata to watch it with us. That will probably double the enjoyment we can get out of it."
"Ohh! That's a great idea! As expected of a pervert!"
Anko snorted in disdain and gave Yuna's butt a smack.
"Who are you calling a pervert, pervert."
"You, of course."
Anko smacked Yuna's butt again before retorting.
"No matter how I look at it, you are the greater one between the two of us."
"I am not just the greater one, I am the greatest, but that doesn't prevent you from being a pervert."
Anko felt that something was wrong with the last few exchanges, and after pondering for a short moment, a tick mark appeared on her head, and she gave Yuna's butt a few more spanks.
"You damn brat, I didn't call you great; I called you a great pervert!"
"HAHAHA!!!"
Hearing Yuna laugh aloud while getting her butt spanked by her, Anko couldn't help but chuckle a little and stopped spanking and opted for groping instead.
Anko could only sigh at Yuna's antics. The more time she spent with her, the more she enjoyed Yuna's presence, and by now, she had long passed the threshold she never planned to cross.
When Anko first met Yuna, and she suggested having some fun together, Anko treated it as an offer for some casual sex when they wanted to release some steam. That, somehow, became a full-blown relationship within a short few months, and before Anko knew it, it became something even more profound.
If someone asked her whether she thought she would ever fall in love with someone five years ago, she would have laughed into that person's face, but here she was, having feelings for a weirdo like Yuna.
Yuna simply clicked too well with her not to fall in love with her. This current situation, for example. The ropes binding Yuna were just that. Normal ropes. Even an average genin could get out of that, but Yuna decided to let Anko play her game and have some fun despite that.
Well, considering it was Yuna, she was currently "bullying", Anko was pretty sure that she would face some form of retaliation sooner rather than later, but that was a problem future Anko would have to deal with.
Yuna, whose butt was still getting massaged by Anko, noticed her shift in mood, so how could she not tease her?
"Oh, my~ Are we getting emotional, Anko? Are you finally ready to profess your love to me?"
Anko staggered a little when she heard Yuna's words, and moments later, the tick mark on her face made a reappearance, and she resumed spanking Yuna.
"YOU DAMN BRAT, STOP ACTING SO CHEEKY!!!"
"HAHAHA, THERE IS NO SHAME IN LOVING ME, ANKO, FOR I AM THE GREATEST!!!"
"CAN YOU GET ANY MORE SHAMELESS!?"
"NO, FOR I AM ALREADY AT THE PEAK OF SHAMELESSNESS!!!"
"PFHAHAHA!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THE PEAK OF SHAMELESSNESS!!! IS THAT A MOUNTAIN SOMEWHERE IN KUMO!?"
Yuna's serious-sounding proclamation that she was at the peak of shamelessness was too much for Anko. She could no longer keep her composure and started laughing, while Yuna began laughing as well, despite not really understanding what Anko found so funny.
'How weird; I only told the truth. I'm not sure what's so funny about that.'
[You are indeed at the peak of shamelessness.]
'Well, yeah. I mean, I just said that, didn't I?'
[...]
A few moments later, Anko managed to calm herself down and continued walking towards her room while still carrying the tied-up Yuna.
When they reached the door, Anko gave Yuna a vicious smirk before she started speaking again.
"Any last words before I ravage you, Yuna?"
"Yeah, there are some: I love you, Anko."
Anko almost choked on her own spit when she heard Yuna's proclamation. Her eyes bulged out while her mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water.
She might have realized her own feelings for Yuna, but that didn't mean she was willing to say them out loud.
'What am I supposed to do now? I'm not good with stuff like that. Should I just ignore what I just heard? No! That's a bad idea. I should just say it. It's just three words. Easy Peasy. I just have to tell Yuna that I l-l-lo-lo... Damnit, Anko, stop being a wuss! You can do it!'
Anko took a deep breath to prepare herself, while Yuna's smile became wider and wider. She found Anko's struggle rather amusing, so she enjoyed every second of it,
"I l-l-loveyouaswellyuna..."
"What was that? I couldn't hear you, Anko, my love."
Anko gnashed her teeth at Yuna's blatant teasing. She considered just stopping, but she already decided to say it, and she was not a quitter.
"I-I-I loveYOUYUNA!"
"Mhhh~ I had some trouble understanding the middle part of that sentence; could you repeat it, my love?"
This time, Anko snapped. She kicked open the door to her room while picking up Yuna from her shoulder and tossing her into the room and on her bed.
"DAMNIT, I LOVE YOU, YUNA, AND NOW SHUT UP AND PREPARE TO GET F*ED!!!"
