Dedicated to: ...Kushina. They still love you, I promise~ ♥
Idly, she picked at the food that still remained on the plate, an easy grin lingering on her lips. And along the very edge of her vision, Mei could still see the splash of red and black huddled in the bushes nearby. She was not exactly sure when they had arrived. But once Minato had discreetly pointed them out, it was almost like a blazing beacon.
And Mei could not be more amused.
"So...how long do you think they'll stand out there watching us?" she inquired, moving a hand to tuck a lock of hair behind her ear.
"Probably all night if they have to," Minato replied. And then after a moment of thought, a shift to the side as he snerked at the idea, he added with a level of amusement, "Or when Kushina blows a gasket."
To that, Mei could only chuckle in return. In all the years that she had known the former Uzu shinobi, she had never seen Kushina show any sort of jealousy for the friendship she had with the young man. Their families had been closely tied and it was only natural that both her and Minato would become as familiar as they were with each other. To think that anything could develop after all these years, especially when nothing had yet, was next to impossible.
"I don't know," Mei mused, "She's a stubborn one, strong-willed too."
"Eh, maybe," the blond replied, giving a passive shrug before reaching across the table to take a gentle hold of her hand, "What do you say, we test her limits, hm?"
At this, the young kunoichi quirked a curious brow, though she neither encouraged the smirk never once leaving her lips. "...Are you planning what I think you're planning?"
"...Maybe."
"...Namikaze Minato, you are a cruel, cruel bastard." And despite the harshness of her words, Mei could not help but grin mischievously at the idea. She only hoped that Tsume did not have chakra-enhanced hearing to match her sense of smell.
