Getting up, Shiki teleported both himself and Tsunade back to the fortress where they found a very surprising scene. One that honestly, made the even the heartless Shiki feel a bad.
Shizune was crying on the ground like a disowned wife as the girls were trying to figure out how to console her but all their attempts only made her cry harder.
Something about her Shiki being taken away.
And so, just as he did for Tsunade, Shiki used his Flying Raijin to quickly kidnap her and console her alone while Tsunade too the opportunity to talk the talk with the girls.
As Tsunade stood imposingly before them, they started to feel worried but Tsunade opened up with a heartfelt apology over the the name calling.
"Well, girls. I apologise for for the name calling . . ." She started relieving the girl's tension.
"But! We must still talk . . ." The girls felt the nervousness creeping back in, even the ones not currently having a romantic relationship with Shiki, felt it.
After all, this was someone that held an irreplaceable position in Shiki's heart, possibly an unassailable top position as well so their nervousness was not entirely unwarranted.
Meanwhile, just as Tsunade started the important conversation amongst women, Shiki was hugging the still crying Shizune in one of those romantic sunset locations that she liked.
He had teleported them there to enhance the atmosphere and a little while after, she seemed to calm down but was now embarrassed to show her face.
'Seriously . . . Who would've thought Shizu-nee had such a needy side to her. It's kinda cute though not gonna lie.' Shiki thought as shizune curled into his chest like a kitten, still not showing her face.
'Waaah! I'm so embarrassed! What face am I supposed to show him after that debacle!?' She though while she relished in in the warm hug.
'Better enjoy it while it lasts ugh . . . I don't ever want to leave this comfortable spot!'
But then, Shiki interrupted her thoughts.
"Shizu-nee." He gently called out.
But Shizune didn't want to come up. That being so, things would not move forward if she didn't so Shiki held her face up.
She was completely red and avoiding eye contact, squirming like a small animal in a trap.
'Damn! Shizu-nee's way too cute!'
"S-Shi-!" She started but was immediately interrupted.
Since it worked the first time around, no reason not to try it again and so, just as Shizune tried to speak, Shiki helped solved some of her questions and insecurities over her place in his heart with a deep kiss.
Unlike Tsunade, although she was surprised, she didn't put in any sort of resistance and fully ave in to to the kiss. Just like that, the two lovebirds held each other as they exchanged slow and deep kisses as if they had been doing it for years.
After they broken the kiss, Shizune just spilled out everything and told Shiki about all her feelings and how they changed over time, much more straightforwardly than her mentor.
Shizune loved Shiki, but was afraid to admit it. Even though Shiki was a big flirt, she just saw it as his way of being and did not actually consider he saw her as a possible romantic partner. To her, Shiki viewed her as his gentle older sister, a position that she enjoyed and wanted to keep.
But as time went by, Shiki got older and even worked with the Anbu. After Tsunade took office as the Hokage, Shizune got the opportunity to interact with the "adult" Shiki that acted very differently since he was in character.
This made her more and more unable to consider Shiki a child and his flirts started getting to her, much more than they did to Tsunade and even making her fantasize about a possible relationship with the boy she once saw as just a naughty younger brother.
It gave her an indecent and unworthy feeling, it didn't seem natural according to reason no matter how much her heart desired it and so she just kept to her elder sister role, to be Shiki's ever dependable Shizu-nee.
Shiki on the other hand was very independent and even if he spent quite a lot of time helping others for one reason or another, very rarely did he ask for anything, it started causing Shizune to feel he was becoming more distant to her and it made her feel sad and insecure.
She had followed Tsunade since she was very young and had never been embroiled in matters of love and attraction so this was all very new to her, making the poor Shizune just having no clue at all about what she should do.
Once she Shiki offered her and Tsunade a tour of his base and an explanation on his projects over the last year mainly, Shizune was thrilled. This was, in her mind, the way back into his heart . . . Even though to Shiki, she had never even left.
But after all those girls declared themselves to be her Shiki's lovers, she just couldn't handle it and broke down. Shizune though she could handle just being his caring elder sister, always there to help him, that it was enough for her, but in that moment, she realized just how wrong she was.
Now, as them being together like they were, was a dream come true for her and she just wanted to explore these new feeling with him.
Hearing her story, Shiki felt bad for not noticing, it made him honestly feel incompetent, but he was far from perfect, and in all of his schemes for the future, out there in the world, he started losing sight of what was close to home, he just felt glad he realized it before it was too late.
Shiki then spent a long time convincing Shizune on how much he cared for her and how special was the place she held in his heart. The got to another type of convincing.
Even though she was the most insecure of his girls, or perhaps because of it, she seemed to be okay with anything Shiki wanted to do to her, and went beyond not resisting and encouraged him to take her as he pleased.
As Shiki looked at a half disrobed and blushing Shizune with a shy but seductive expression, HE though that his Shizu-nee was a lot more sexy than he realized.
His hands explored every inch of her skin, his mouth ravaged her humble breast and his hand pleasured her in way way no one had done before.
As they kissed, she tentatively reached inside his pants and started trying to pleasure him as well, She may have read some of Jiraiya's books and learned some things . . .
And so, they both lead each other to the peak in a moment of utter bliss.
A good long while later, the two returned to the fortress, both sporting incredible satisfied, pleased expressions and happy smiles adorning both of their faces as SHizune held Shiki's arm in a matter fitting to that of their new relationship.
"Well, well. Things seem to have gone even better than I expected!" Tsunade commented with a smile, making Shizune blush while Shiki didn't even twitch.
"In fact, things seem to have gone so good . . ." She made a dramatic pause. "So good that I dare say Shizune might be ahead of most if not everyone here . . ." She teasingly said.
This immediately made all the girls gaze at Shizune with suspicion. They had though her to be quiet and harmless when compared to the mighty Tsunade but to think she would use this and sneakingly get ahead.
Shiki didn't deny it as it was the truth but if he was being honest, it was mostly Tsunade's fault and from her unexpectedly cute mischievous expression, she knew it too.
'Even though it was Tsuna-nee who got me all hot and bothered.' Shiki sent his thoughts to Tsunade.
'I'm still more than ready so, we'll definitely have to continue this later . . .' He continued.
Tsunade, with a slight blush and a seductive expression just mouthed off.
'I can't wait . . ." Discreetly licking her lips.
Shiki could already feel his tool stirring but that would be for later tonight. Now, it was time to resume the initial task of showing his achievements to the Konoha pair.
Even though the unexpected turn of events resulted in great boons for Shiki, he still wanted to show off all that he had achieved and with the advancement of his relationship with the two women, he was no longer nervous about showing them his more questionable endeavours.
It so, that with great pride, Shiki introduced his great fortress and all of its features to his dear Tsuna-nee and Shizu-nee to once more rock their world even if in a different way.
