Time to meet the parents! [During the summer holidays at Kushina's house. Open to anyone who'd be there, I guess :)]

"I know! Isn't it awesome?" she grinned and kissed him.

"It was... it looked.. a bit.. uhm... risky."

"Well, duh, it is. But I'm used to it." she grinned. "Don't worry. I've done riskier things."

"All right." His face clearly communicated: 'You very probably have, and I very probably do not wish ever to learn of them.'

"Like, one time I was really, really pissed at Grimmjow. So I charged at him. Earned me two broken ribs and a sprained wrist." she sighed. "Now I know it's just plain stupid to charge at him. Not just risky."

Seconds later, she had a boyfriend in the saddle, hugging her very tight. "Don't. Ever. Do. That. Again," he said, his voice sounding both strangled and uncharacteristically angry.

".. O-okay..." she muttered, pretty much stunned.

"I won't let anyone hurt you. Ever. You have to promise that. Promise I can keep you safe."

"Uhm. I will get hurt, though, 'Nato. Tournaments, you know."

A pained groan in her ear.

She sighed. "But other than that... I'll try to control my temper. Not get into as many fights. If... If that's what you want."

"I just.. can't.. I want to kill him for.. for.."

She sighed. "Relax, 'Nato. It was my own fault. He reacted on instinct."

"I don't care!!" growled Minato. "He can't hurt you. He just can't." He clutched her even harder, fingers digging into her arms.

A small noise. "'Nato, you're kinda... Almost choking me here." it wasn't that far from the truth. With him hugging her this close, her breasts squashed between them, and her chest in general... Well. She did breathe just a little strained.

He loosened his grip just a little, but he still wasn't letting her go. "Just.. Please. Don't.. don't get hurt."

"I... can't promise yo that, 'Nato. You know I can't." she sighed and kissed his cheek.

Another pained groan emitted from him as he closed his eyes and buried his face in her neck.

"But, I can promise I'll do my best. Okay?" she gently lifted his head to kiss him once more.

"You.. can start.. by not.. being around Grimmjow.. at all..." Or he might have to kill him. As a safety measure.

"Uhm... Sure, as much as I can.. We do train in the school's dojo intensively, both of us, so I can't keep away all the time..."

"Okay. Then don't talk to him. And stay at the other side of the room. With me in between."

She sighed. "... Sure." she muttered.

"And remember the mouthguard. You should really wear a chest guard too."

"Yeah yeah, I know. I do at the tournaments." she sighed. "Sorry. I guess Kakashi might have rubbed off a bit on me. Since he goes MMA he doesn't use anything but the tooth guard. And the cup, of course. So I'm not using anything, really, when sparring with him, either. I guess it kinda sticks."
