Roronora wanted more than anything to show Shiva how she looked through his eyes, but the best he could do was tell her and show her how much he loved her. He listened to her and shook his head. “You know if you needed a sparring partner you need look no further than me. Just because you’re not being used is no reason to let your skills dull. How about once we reach Kumo we have tag team spar me and Kuro against you and Maria or you and me against them. You know show the kids why you are one of the most respected Kunoichi in the Shinobi world.” He dashed to the elders meeting room and walked in. “Alright here’s the thing guys me and the kids are going to go to the cloud for a little vacation. I think it’s what Shiva needs, and I’ll fill out whatever papers I need to or do however much paperwork when I get back, just please give me this.” The elders exchanged looks before one looked him over. “Well Roronora you don’t have much paper work at this moment, but if you agree to take care of all excess paper work upon your return we shall allow this spur of the moment trip. Roronora swore he would before hurrying to his room looking at Shiva pack. He pulled out a suitcase of his own packing his own things. “Alright the elders are onboard, so this time tomorrow we will be in Kumogakure living it up.”

Shiva knew he was only trying to be supportive and make her happy. He missed the way she had been before her injury and she tried to change but it was hard when she filled herself with doubt but enough of that. She would find use in INTEL even if it was a desk job. She would try training again to re-hone her skills she would just have to adapt to her disability. "I'd like that a lot Roronora. Dust out the dream team again give Maria and Kuro a run for their money. The world needs to know the Iron Maiden isn't down for the count yet." She'd smile in response watching Roronora leave before she did the same. Serina already looked up to her but maybe just maybe her son would respect her more if he saw what a fine kunoichi she really was. Silvia would follow her pups and her master's children to their room. She'd almost finished packing when she heard Roronora walk into the room looking to see him start to pack as well. "Lovely and don't worry I didn't forget my swimwear you love so much." She'd reply a sheepish smile on her face now. Then she'd sigh in content moving to sit on the edge of the bed now. It really would be nice to see Maria and Kuro again. To spar with them she would expect them not too hold back any it'd hurt her feelings if they did.

Roronora looked at Shiva he could see it in her eyes that spark of energy that she’d had when he first met her. He hated seeing her without it. He’d seen it so often before her injury. When they sparred, or during the Intel meetings, and especially when they made love. “They’ll have a real fight on their hands. You are so sexy when you get fired up I love it!” Roronora knew Serina looked up to her mom as all things she wanted to be, but Kirrabi only believed in things he could see, and what he saw of Shiva didn’t match with the stories Roronora told him, but all that would change when he saw them in action. He had just zipped up his own bag when Shiva spoke. “I hope not if you had there would be spanking with you name on it my very sexy wife.” To tell the truth Roronora couldn’t wait to go head to head with Maria and Kuro he wanted to see those blood techniques in action. “This is going to be awesome.” He said sitting down next to Shiva and rubbing her back.

Shiva had to admit it felt good saying that. She felt it invigorate a fire within her that she thought had been put out when she was forced to retire. She'd been offered a desk job to be honest but she'd been too depressed to want to accept it. She'd shut herself up in their bedroom for about two days before Serina came crying to her making her realize there were still people who needed her right now and she couldn't give up on them. "Makes me feel alive again. I might not be one hundred percent but I'll give it my all." Shiva would reply a smirk on her face now. She knew Serina idolized her as any daughter did at her age. Kirrabi though was different sure he enjoyed her tales of past adventures but she'd quit training or sparring with Silvia and his father and so he found it hard to believe she'd ever been that great as she claimed. "Maybe you can find something else to punish me for with then." She'd reply with a smile giving him a playful wink. She'd continue to smile as he sat down next to her feeling him rub her back now. "You got to watch out for that little bandit of Maria's though. Last time she tried to make off with one of Serina's toys." She'd chuckle lightly that baby was fast Serina had only set down her doll for a second and Mizumi had snatched it up making a mad crawl for a hiding spot to enjoy her spoils. Serina had gotten it back once Mizumi went down for a nap but it was still pretty amusing and in the end Serina had let her keep the doll not really caring for it anymore. She'd look up to see Silvia trot into the room now caring a suitcase in her mouth Serina on her back her pups behind her. "All packed up then I see. Once Kirrabi is here we can depart." Then remembering Ken she would look at Roronora. "What about Ken? Want me to go see if she will come this time?" It was worth a shot in the dark but she wanted Ken to know she wasn't forgotten and was loved by her master and his family and her daughter and grandchildren.

“One hundred percent or not we’ll take what we can get.” He said smiling. He put a fist under his chin pretending to think. “Oh I’ll come up with something I promise you that much.” He watched Silvia carrying a suitcase in her mouth and Serina on her back. “I remember doing that when I was kid. Ken used to fly through the trees with me on her back. Good times.” It brought a lump to his throat remembering how vibrant and fun Ken used to be compared to how she was now. He shook his head. “I don’t have much for her to make off with.” He said looking at his gourd. “Ok maybe I do.” He said smiling. At the mention of Ken he deflated a little bit and ran a hand through his dreads. “No, no you go check on Kirrabi I’ll go deal with Ken” Roronora made his way out into the woods. Sooner than he would have liked he arrived at Kage’s grave. He saw the black stone carved with Kage’s name and there beside it lay Ken. He sat down next to her stroking her snow white fur. She gave a low whimper. “Look we’re going to Kumo for a little vacation and I wanted you to come with us.” Ken stayed silent for a moment before whimpering again. “I know I miss him too, but killing yourself like this won’t help.” She stayed silent further irritating him. “You know what you’re coming whether you like it or not.” Roronora picked her up and slung her over his shoulder, and went back to the compound. She didn’t make a sound or try to resist. “Is Kirrabi ready yet we should be heading out pretty soon, and Ken will be joining us.” He said laying her on the porch.

"Agreed." Giving her best was all she could hope for with her injury. She would have to work around it somehow but she'd manage. Seeing him pretend to look thoughtful about her punishment she'd chuckle lightly always the comedian he was. Then she would see Silvia come in with Serina and her suitcase her daughter sticking out her tongue at the comment about riding Silvia like a horse. "That must've been fun dear." She'd tried to ride a dog once around her clan compound but her mother had scolded her in the end and she'd never done it again. "Alright then." She would reply as Roronora insisted he be the one to go talk to Ken. Then she'd pat Serina on the head and walked out after him her daughter following her now riding Silvia still the wolf leaving the suitcase behind Serina's pups following her. She would walk into their children's bedroom to find Kirrabi still packing his wolf pup asleep on the bed. "Let me help you son." She'd say before moving to finish packing for him. He'd simply step aside crossing his arms against his chest now. She'd hum to herself as she finished packing his packing now. "Every bit the stubborn one just like the Iron Maiden herself. Just think you'll finally get to see your mother in action." She'd say handing his suitcase to him before kissing him on the forehead. Then she'd whistle to Silvia pulling Serina off of her now. Silvia would jump onto the bed to collect her pup before following Shiva and her children outside to the porch after her master collected Serina's suitcase. She'd smile seeing Ken there and moved to pet her scratching a little behind the ears. "I'm really glad your coming Ken I've missed you. I'm going to fight again the ol Iron Maiden is making a comeback." She'd say smiling at Ken some more before standing again. "We're all ready to go dear." Silvia would bark in agreement before nuzzling her mother a little.

Roronora didn’t know how to deal with Ken anymore, but when all else failed brute force was necessary. He looked to Shiva and their kids as they came out all packed. Ken turned her amber eyes toward Shiva at the mention she would be fighting again. There was a small spark of pride in her eyes before she rose up and actually nuzzled Sylvia back. Roronora noted the slight change in Ken and knew this vacation wouldn’t be helping just Shiva. He clapped his hands together and smiled. “Alright let’s hit the road.” He started out onto the road towards Kumo, with Kuro and Kage by his sides, and his family trailing after.
[Two days later]
Roronora stood at the gates of Kumogakure he could see why Dashe liked traveling here so often the village was a grand sight to see. He looked back at his kids faces. “That’s right you two haven’t been here since Serina was in diapers.” Serina blushed. “Dad!!” He chuckled at her embarrassed face. Kirrabi even gave a covert snicker. “I wonder where our welcoming committee is?” he said flashing his Intel Badge at the front gate. He looked around trying to spot Kuro or Maria.

Shiva would smile at the exchange between Ken and Silvia. She could see a spark of something in the older wolf's eyes now. She felt had always blamed herself not only for allowing Kage to die but for letting Shiva get hurt. Shiva had never blamed her for that but Ken had been too upset to really believe her. Hearing Roronora clap his hands she would nod and followed after him Serina on her left side and Kirrabi on her right. Ken walked shortly in front of her and next to her was Silvia her pups inbetween them and Shiva. It felt nice knowing she would be fighting again Ken seemed happy about that seeming to cheer up after being told that. Looking to Roronora's back she'd smile knowing he would be there with her.
---
Looking up to see the gates of Kumogakure she'd sigh in relief they'd finally made it. Her feet were killing her but she'd managed. If she started complaining then Serina was bound to as well and that would only annoy Kirrabi then which would annoy Roronora in the end. She'd chuckle lightly at Roronora's comment and Serina's protest. She could remember when both their children had been small enough to carry so adorable they'd been. Now Kirrabi was looking more like his father and though Serina favored her more in the looks department the streak of wildness from her father was beginning to show. She'd glance around and sure enough she spotted Kuro heading their way with Mizumi in tow. Maria was home recovering from a morning sickness spell afterwards opting to clean up the house in anticipation of their arrival.

Kuro was hurrying he had set out later than he’d wanted. Maria had had a terrible bout of Morning Sickness and he had been trying to soothe her time had just got away from him. He rushed down the street seeing the gates of Kumo and Roronora’s large family. He rushed to meet them. “Sorry for being late guys Maria was sick so I had to brew her up something. Welcome to Kumo follow me.” He was out of breath a little but that would pass on the walk back. He looked seeing the throng of wolves around their family and smiled. “I see Serina and Kirrabi have found their Ninken pups congratulations you two.” He started walking back towards the Chijoumae house he saw his sisters outside practicing their techniques before stopping to look at Kuro and their guests. They ran up looking at the wolves and their nieces and nephews. “Well this is a great surprise! Hi Shiva, HI Roro. Hey Serina and Kirrabi.” Roronora just shook his head he’d tried to get them to drop the nick name, but it stuck like glue so he just took.

Marianisa had expected another pregnancy like Mizumi's was easy and not so much throwing up. That seemed not to be the case this time around as she had woken up around the usual time and found herself hunkered over the toilet in the bathroom. That of course had awoken Kuro worrying him a little. She'd shrug it off saying it was normal for the beginning of a pregnancy. Then they would shower up before heading to the kitchen to make some breakfast. Still feeling a little quesey he had cooked her up some medicine before rushing out with their daughter in tow to see if her sister and her family had arrived yet. The medicine seemed to help but there no use running out after Kuro now he'd greet them and bring them back soon enough. She'd go to their bedroom to tidy up her paperwork before heading outside stopping in the doorway. She could see his sisters training only to stop as Kuro returned along with Shiva, Roronora, and the rest of their family. She'd smile walking out now both hands placed on her stomach.
"Sorry I couldn't come to greet you properly. I'm sure he told you I was sick but I'm feeling much better now." She'd move to hug Shiva kissing her cheek. Then she did the same to Roronora before turning to greet their children. "Your looking very nice today Serina and you Kirrabi are looking as tough as always." She'd smile before looking to the wolves noticing Ken had joined them this time . She had to wonder if she could tell she was pregnant or not. Oh how excited Shiva would be once she told them about it. She'd smile at Ken before moving to stand next to Kuro taking Mizumi from him and placing her on the ground wrapping an arm around his waist afterwards.

Roronora looked at the Chijoumae house it was a masterpiece of architecture. “You sure you don’t have the whole village living in this place?” He said picking at Kuro for fun. He knew Kuro didn’t want to be different from any of them, so he dulled down the majesty of his position and his house. “Raikage must pay you pretty well my friend.” He said smelling Maria before he saw her in the doorway. “Well the lady of the house decided to grace us with her presence.” He said giving her a mock bow. He saw little Mizumi as she was placed on the ground in front of them. He looked at his kids. “Well don’t be rude kids say hello to your cousin, and aunt and uncle.” Serina immediately jumped in giving Kuro and Maria a hug before kneeling in front of Mizumi. “Hey cousin Mizumi you remember me I’m serina.” She said giving her a wide smile. Kirrabi bowed to Maria and Kuro. “it is good to see you again uncle Kuro, Aunt Maria.” Then he looked to Mizumi. “Nice to see you again cousin.” Roronora shook his head. “That’s about as much as you’ll get from him. Why don’t you kids go sit on the porch the adults have a score to settle.” Roronora looked around at the other three. “You guys ready for this?”

Shiva was always impressed by Kuro's home and the fact Marianisa got to live here everyday. You'd think more than just five people would live here based on the size. She'd simply nod in agreement before looking to see her sister appear now. "It's quite alright dear sister. You're absolutely glowing today." She had that glow about her of a newly expecting mother again. Kuro had been busy it seemed but she could only guess until Maria confirmed she was pregnant for sure since she had mentioned a surprise in her last letter. She'd smile returning the hug while placing a kiss on her cheek in return. Then she looked to her kids and smile. "Pretty soon you'll be able to really play with Mizumi Serina dear." Mizumi was walking now it seemed and earlier than her own children had too. Quite the little genius she'd no doubt surpass both her and Maria someday possibly taking over INTEL if she chose to. "Always the stoic one." Shiva would reply with a sheepish smile on her face. She would watch their kids move as Mizumi wandered after them giggling all the while sitting into Serina's lap once she was seated. "Bout as ready as I'll ever be. Let's move to a more private spot away from the kids." Maria would blink a little so Shiva would actually go through with it then. Shiva would simply nod and smile watching Silvia send her pups over to their children now. Then she would bark at Shiva letting her know she was ready looking to Ken now. Would she simply watch or would she join in she wondered.

Kuro watched the children exchange hello’s. Mizumi was gripping his leg tight until Serina and Kirrabi made their way to the porch. He nodded at Roronora’s question. “I have been waiting to go head to head with you Roronora.” Kuro had fought with Shiva and Maria Roronora was the only mystery. He wanted to see what Roronora could do. He nodded not wanting the children to be scared by the fierceness of their sparring. They would know it was all for fun, but the children might see it as something else. He looked to Maria a worried look on his face. “Are you sure you’re up for this Maria?” He didn’t want her to strain herself in this fight, but he knew how important it was that Shiva get out of her slump, and this seemed to be the only way. “I’m up for it.”

Maria would smile sheepishly rolling her eyes at Roronora's mock bow before returning Serina's hug smiling back at Kirrabi with a nod of her head now. Always the humorous one that Roronora he always knew how to make someone laugh. She'd smile at Mizumi ruffling her hair a little before watching her follow Serina and Kirrabi to the porch. Never wanting to be left out of something she had to stick her nose into everything. Hearing Shiva's suggestion she would nod in agreement before looking to Kuro at his question. "I think I'll be fine so long as I don't get hit below the belt." Maria would reply holding his hands now squeezing them gently. Then looking to Shiva she would smile letting go now. "I'm pregnant again sister so please be careful." Shiva would simply smile and nod in understanding her assumption being proved correct. Luckily she was barely a month in so she felt she would be fine though she would take precaution to avoid taking any hits to her lower body. If she felt things got to be too much for her then she would call it quits and surrender so Kuro did not worry about her. She'd smirk now and pulling back her sleeves fist pumped the air she was ready to do this to fight Shiva and see if she still had what it took to fight someone.

Roronora snorted Kuro was a great guy, but he could be way over protective. “I’ve been thinking the same thing Kuro. Let’s see what these blood techniques are all about. Come on Shiva even if we do go somewhere for the spar the kids are just going to spy anyway. its better we know exactly where they are, so why not let them watch.” “Yay!” Roronora turned to look at Serina and her outburst of joy. “Seems someone has been practicing her eavesdropping skills eh Serina.” Serina sat down blushing. “Sorry dad.” She said as Kirrabi crossed his arms. “I want to watch.” He said calmly yet firmly. Roronora looked at the others and shrugged. “When you’re right you’re right.” Roronora wasn’t shocked about the pregnancy he had guessed that Kuro wouldn’t be able to keep his hands off her after Mizumi was born. “Our boy Kuro works fast doesn’t he Shiva, now shall we get to the training field our kids are due for a show.”
