Is auditing some kind of motherless creature? It surely is, you're the only one left in the family register, it must be hard, right?
After night fell, Temari lay on the bed facing the wall, but she couldn't fall asleep at all.
Feeling very uneasy, she touched her belly. If what she ate after that day were truly vitamins, then the recent nausea was definitely not due to a stomach upset; Temari had been through this before, she quickly remembered how it felt when she was pregnant with Lu Dai—uncomfortable and unable to eat.
She's pregnant! Absolutely pregnant!
Every time before, it was such a huge amount that went into her body, even with the medication, Temari felt a bit uneasy. Initially, she had intended to take the medicine to the hospital to inquire but bumped into acquaintances on two visits, so she randomly bought some cold prevention medicine instead.
Since nothing happened afterward, Temari assumed the medication was fine and overlooked the matter.
Currently, Temari's mind was a tangled mess, filled with worry, fear, and other emotions, making her nearly sleepless through the night.
The next morning, Temari got up early, prepared breakfast for the two Nara men, and after seeing them off, she tidied up and went out.
Temari changed her appearance somewhat, and upon arriving at Yoichi Pharmacy, she entered without attracting suspicion; as she stepped inside, the doorbell welcoming customers rang, but she didn't wait on the ground floor and headed directly upstairs.
Upon arriving on the second floor, Temari saw Uchiha Yoichi coming out of the Alchemy Room.
"This customer...what now, turns out it's Lady Temari. I thought it was some impolite client, but since it's Lady Temari, moving to the third floor wouldn't be an issue."
Uchiha Yoichi easily saw through Temari's disguise, primarily because she carried the life energy he left for the child.
"Let's talk upstairs, Lady Temari."
Seeing Lady Temari's complex emotions of both hatred and the joy of reunion, which only Uchiha Yoichi could detect, though Temari herself couldn't realize.
Wordlessly, Temari followed Uchiha Yoichi to the third floor, and upon entering, she angrily swung her fist towards him.
Uchiha Yoichi swiftly grasped Temari's wrist, then said to her, "Clearly, the relationship is severed, yet why did you proactively come to find me, Lady Temari? Moreover, you approached with intent to attack—this is too much."
"You bastard, don't play innocent. The last birth control pill you gave me was just a vitamin!"
Temari glared angrily at Uchiha Yoichi; now she might be pregnant—all because of this bastard's trickery. The relationship was supposed to be over and separated, but this bastard still wouldn't let her go!
"Vitamin? I'm not aware, did I give the wrong one?"
Feigning ignorance, Uchiha Yoichi replied, releasing Temari's hand, touching his chin, and continued shaking his head, "Lady Temari, are you pregnant?"
"Stop pretending, you bastard, someone who crafts all kinds of secret medicines can't differentiate between vitamins and birth control pills!"
Temari coldly glared at Uchiha Yoichi in anger, fully realizing now.
"You saw through it, huh? Honestly... you should've taken a long time to find out. How did you know?"
Upon hearing, Uchiha Yoichi dropped the pretense, shrugged, and spoke to Temari, "Since things are like this, Lady Temari, what do you plan to do? Are you considering aborting the child?"
"You think I'd keep him? You bastard, don't dream, I..."
Before Temari could finish speaking, Uchiha Yoichi approached her and directly encircled her waist.
"Don't speak rashly, Lady Temari. Use your ninja mind to think thoroughly. Unless you fully expose this matter, Nara Shikamaru won't agree, nor will I. Even if it's fully exposed... look at this, what a blissful couple. Anyone who sees it would assume you weren't coerced, right?"
Uchiha Yoichi took out several photos, showcasing various activities of him and Temari in the Land of Hot Water.
On the final day, Uchiha Yoichi's attitude towards Temari was exceedingly gentle, and at that time her attitude had significantly softened; in these photo activities, they only secured second place. Uchiha Yoichi lamented, and Temari retorted with her hands on her hips, accusing him of not trying hard enough.
"This, when did this..."
Upon seeing this, Temari couldn't believe it. How could she have that expression? Clearly, the person next to her was her enemy, yet she displayed such expressions; there were other photos too. The two shared a bowl of food, drank a glass of juice... Did she do these things before?
Sealed memories started resurface in Temari's mind, the pleasant feelings at that time stirred her emotions intensely, leaving her unsettled over what to do...
"Don't dwell on those, you just need to remember, with me you have the most perfect feeling, that's enough Lady Temari!"
Uchiha Yoichi pushed Temari onto the bed, leaned close, and whispered softly in her ear.
"I've already with Shikamaru... um..."
Temari couldn't finish her sentence before her mouth was covered; she made muffled sounds, then gradually her resistance weakened. The sensation reminded Temari of the third day in the Land of Hot Water, the most beautiful experience.
"Lady Temari, you only need to remember, being with me is your happiest time!"
After saying this, Temari's clothing slowly vanished.
"Mm~!"
——————————————
The woman's voice in the room finally stopped as dusk approached.
Yoichi walked in with a cup of honey water, and the buzzing sound still echoed within the room, but Lady Temari's voice could no longer be heard.
"It's already this late, forget it, let's talk another day....."
Glancing at the disappearing sunset outside, Yoichi looked at the work on the bed with satisfaction, her eyes were covered with a black cloth, hands still locked to the headboard, and a metal chain on her neck.
The continuous buzzing in the room came from Temari herself.
Two different frequencies of buzzing vibration sounds.
As for Lady Temari's disheveled state, there was no need to mention it, after all, she hadn't cleaned up since the morning, not just Lady Temari, but the bed and floor had quite a bit of Yoichi's life essence.
If it weren't for Ōmononushi no kami's ability to replenish himself, Yoichi couldn't possibly produce so much even if he emptied himself.
"It's getting dark soon, Lady Temari."
Yoichi released the chains from Lady Temari, then took out the two vibrating spheres and cylinders, making a 'pop' like opening a wine bottle, as the passage slowly withdrew.
"Hmm...."
Temari instinctively gave a soft hum, and soon regained consciousness with the aid of Yoichi's life energy.
Although today's play was quite excessive, Yoichi could assure the child was fine.
Upon waking, Temari's first reaction upon seeing Yoichi was to instinctively close her eyes and open her mouth, but was blocked by Yoichi with honey water, and after feeding her a few sips continued saying, "It's getting dark, Lady Temari, do you want to stay here tonight? If you do, we can continue...."
"It's dark, dark?"
Repeating the words, Temari lay dazed in Yoichi's arms for a moment before regaining clarity and said, "Shikamaru and Lu Dai are still waiting at home... You bastard, pervert, beast...."
Slap! Slap!
Yoichi slapped Temari's firm backside a few times, making her eyes tear before stopping and saying, "Don't forget the promise you made earlier, Lady Temari, don't be too unruly; dare to curse me again, then don't bother going home tonight."
"You, you're marking me again..."
Temari dared not curse Yoichi again but remarked with great grievance upon seeing the mark; she had paid a great price to remove such marks, but now they were back.
"It's just casually written with a marker, you needn't be unwilling, you can wash it off when you get home.... But Lady Temari, if next time I don't see this mark, I can't guarantee what might happen then!"
Yoichi turned his tone at the end, instantly making Temari's heart tremble, but he then placed his hand on her belly, softly said, "After all, I'm the child's father too, I won't do anything too excessive, but Lady Temari, you should understand, between me and Nara Shikamaru, who can truly bring you happiness?"
"...."
"I didn't hear you, or do you simply not want to answer, Lady Temari?"
"...It's you, being with you is happiest..."
Temari answered weakly, lowering her head; she had answered this several times earlier, so another repetition didn't matter; just felt some guilt towards Shikamaru.
However, given her current condition, she felt too guilty towards Nara Shikamaru, hence no room for new guilt.
"Clean up and go back, you probably don't have time for a bath."
Yoichi tossed a wet towel to Temari, letting her clean herself up; some areas had dried up and needed effort to wipe off; while cleaning, Temari avoided those few casual words written by Yoichi, precisely... the third one wasn't finished.
"I'm going back..."
After cleaning up, Temari said somewhat bewildered to Yoichi, after being tamed for an entire day, the thought still persisted in her mind to ask Yoichi before doing anything, only proceeding with his approval.
"Go back, remember the time for your next visit, and take those things you used, use them twice a day at home."
Yoichi pointed to the box in the room, containing items used by Temari; before she would curse filth upon seeing these!
But today's Temari could only pack them into the Storage Scroll upon hearing Yoichi's order.
"...All packed, then I'll head back?"
"Mm, go back!"
Yoichi waved his hand, letting Temari still covered in that scent leave; if she hurried, she might bathe before Shikamaru returned home.
Though Lu Dai certainly wouldn't be fooled, Ninja Academy finishes very early, he'd be home by now.
