“Well you know me I go above and beyond for you love.” He could feel her breath against his collar bone, and felt his heart speed up. This would not be the most opportune time for a romp in the sheets so he turned her back to face her sister and wrapped his arms around his stomach. Even though he knew it wasn’t time yet he swore he felt a kick of life. From the bits and pieces he got about this Silvia, she seemed to be an amazing woman. “Ahh what’s life without older siblings.” He said remembering his own older brothers. Roronora wasn’t sure if a ninken would fit Maria. Cooperation was a full time job and required a lot of work, but if she was willing to go the distance he would jump through as many hoops as necessary. “Sure if she wants a pup I’ll do my best.” Roronora nodded knowingly from what Shiva had told him about Kuro Chijoumae he was sure he could withstand Maria. “Yeah let’s see if you’re up to snuff. This mission is best suited to you. Good luck.”

"Agreed Shiva." She had left an everlasting mark on their lives in a short time. Truly an angel Silvia had been. Always so kind to others even her enemies. Such faith had probably gotten her killed but at least she had had some faith when neither Shiva or her had had any. Now Shiva had her faith and trust in his man giving him her heart and everything. She could only hope to find such faith and love someday herself maybe then she might truly be happy and at peace with Silvia's passing. "I'll think about it but thanks for the offer nonetheless. I just need to get my priorities straight first." Last thing she needed was an animal to have to care for and train. Once she had set all of her business straight then she could decide on whether she wanted a ninken partner or not. She would look to Roronora and Shiva again at the mention of a mission.
"I shall accept it then." She found it a little suspicious both had suggested it so suddenly. It seemed like a ploy to get her to do something but she would shrug it off. A mission was a mission and she could not refuse one from them. "When shall I depart for this mission exactly? I was hoping to spend a little more time here with my sister. I planned to rent out a hotel room for the time being." She refused to be a burden to them forcing them to clear out some room for her. She was happy enough renting out some cheap room in some cheap hotel so long as it had the basic necessities for her in it.

"I'm thankful for that." Shiva replied nuzzling his cheek a little now. She could feel his heartbeat pick up now and smiled sheepishly pulling her head back now. "I'll make it up to you tonight." She would whisper into his ear before turning back to face Maria moving one hand from her stomach so Roronora could place one of his own there. She was getting along now it could be seen evident of a baby bump now. It would be a little longer before they would feel any movement like kicking but it would be a joyful day when it did finally happen. "Fair enough Maria just think about it a bit." She knew it wasn't a joke having a ninken partner. They weren't just pets but partners. They had to be trained early on and with strictness and discipline. She was sure Marianisa understood that which was why she had suggested it.
"Good then." She would smile Marianisa had fallen for her plan unaware it was an attempt to hook him up with Kuro. That or she just didn't bother with mission details and wanted to help them out. She hated tricking her like that having just been reunited but she wanted her sister to be happy and smile again like she used to. "In a couple of days my dear sister. For now we shall catch up on things and enjoy a nice meal together." She would reply there was no way she would send Maria right now. The fake mission of sorts could wait until later they had much catching up to do and Roronora needed to get to know his sister-in-law better now.

Roronora sat in the doorway of his room while Ken and Kage lay over his legs. “You do realize that the two of you combined weigh about four-hundred pounds.” They just looked at him and stayed where they are. He knew Shiva only had her sister’s best interest at heart, so he trusted that this Kuro would be a good fit for Maria. At the mention of a hotel he shook his head. “I’ll have none of that. You’re practically family, so you’ll stay with family. We’ve got several Inuzuka out on long missions, so you’ll be long gone before they return.” He looked at Ken. “How about you do something useful and show Maria to her room.” Ken huffed and stretched before walking in the direction of one of the vacant rooms. He nuzzled Shiva back. “I’m sure you will make it up in spades.” He smiled. He had no doubt that Shiva would keep Maria around for as long as possible, and he didn’t mind he liked seeing her happy and Maria made her happy.

Maria would chuckle softly at how he talked to his wolves as if they were people. They were smart indeed seeming to understand everything he said to him. Then he spoke to her and she looked up to meet his gaze now. "I'll stay as long as Shiva wants me to. Should I meet someone eventually or get back onto my feet then I shall move out." The latter seemed more plausible right now though who knew what fate had in store for her. If Shiva succeeded then she may just end up with someone and end up moving in with them given they'd been dating long enough or were comfortable enough with each other already to make that sort of move together. She then looked to Ken as she was ordered to show Maria to a room. Maria would nod in thanks to Ken and then to Roronora and Shiva. Then she was off following Ken to the room and once there she nodded in thanks to Ken again before entering the room. It was pretty nice and spacious more so than some hotel room she had in mind before. She would unstrap her swords dropping them on the floor. Then she sat down on the end of the bed and dropped her arm guards and leg bracers onto the floor.
"I have to wonder what kind of man she plans to set me up with." She wasn't too picky but she wouldn't date a man who was a coward or only thought of himself before others. She was a simple woman and didn't expect to be treated like a queen. Long as they loved and understood each other that was enough for her in the end. "Well time to rejoin them don't want to keep them waiting." Marianisa would stand again and headed out of the room slowly making her way back to where she had last seen Roronora and Shiva at. "Well it's only fair since your treating me to dinner that I answer whatever questions you have Roronora-san so ask away." Shiva would simply nod in agreement before whistling to Silvia and then turning to leave heading for the kitchen now. Maria would nod to Roronora before moving to follow Shiva now.

"Well your welcome to stay until you find someone to spend your time with. It's really no trouble since I want you around more often." She'd be heartbroken if Maria left for good or something happened to her. If she had her way she'd never let Maria leave but she knew at some point she had to. She would fall in love with some man if not Kuro and would want to be with him. She knew Maria would be safe then and well she was strong in her own right so she could take care of herself but still if she ended up with a good man like Kuro then she would be in excellent hands so she wouldn't have to worry then. She'd watch as Maria left following Ken to her new room now. Then she looked to Roronora and smiled hugging him. "Of course I have to enjoy it while I can." Pretty soon she'd have to lay off their fun time together. She was told it was possible up to eight months but she didn't want to take any chances there. She would rub her belly a little more now everyday it seemed to grow and pretty soon it would be troublesome getting around when she couldn't use any of her shinobi techniques to get around. Good ol fashioned walking what better excersize was there than that. She would look back as Marianisa returned and smiled at her. Maria then spoke to Roronora about him asking her any further questions he might have be them about her or Shiva's past. Shiva would simply nod in agreement before whistling to Silvia and then turning to leave heading for the kitchen now. Maria would nod to Roronora before moving to follow Shiva now.

Roronora wasn’t one for matchmaking he preferred to let things flow as they would, but he could understand Shiva’s need to want to help her sister to the happiness they both felt from each other. Once Maria was out of sight he turned to Shiva. “You really think this Kuro could be her other half?” Not that he didn’t trust Shiva’s instinct; he just wanted to know what she really thought of this guy. Roronora hugged her back. “Trust me I’ll make it as enjoyable as possible.” He said kissing the hollow of her neck. As Maria returned her looked at her and shook his head. “We fought Maria I know all I need to know, anything else is of no consequence.” He rubbed Ken’s head as she returned. “But speaking of dinner should I order out or what?” Roronora wasn’t picky about what he ate, but he didn’t want Shiva to have to cook on the return of her sister. “I’m sure the Dragon wouldn’t mind making a delivery.” Roronora was the only who got delivery from the Dragon, and sometimes it got him through the week.

Maria had always been annoyed by the matchmaking attempts for her from Shiva. She knew she meant well and wanted her to be happy which she was thankful for. As much as she might think it annoying maybe she did need help. She'd forgotten how to approach a man and start a conversation. How to show she was available and interested in him. Love was a mystery to her and she was always afraid she might screw it up. What if she kissed the guy too early and gave him the wrong impression or they had sex and it was terrible because of her? So many fears but she knew you could only take dating one day at a time and learn the best you could to improve to make it better in order to make her partner more happy. She would do her best to be more open around the guy and be more open to surprises and being spontaneous in order to try new things.
"Perhaps some questions about my sister then? I'm sure I know a few things Shiva hasn't told you about yet." She knew he knew about Sindel so it was clear to him she'd dated women before if only briefly while experimenting with her sexuality in her earlier years. Maria had always known she mostly straight. Sure she admired the beauty of other women at times but her feelings never went deeper than that. She had started to follow Shiva when both stopped as Roronora suggested take-out for dinner. "I wouldn't mind some take out. I would hate for Shiva to have to cook for my sake." She would say looking to Shiva now. Her older sister would simply nod and smile perhaps she would wait til the morning to make breakfast for her sister to make her favorite pancakes and of course for her husband-to-be his favorite meaty omelets.

Shiva would say she got her matchmaking habit from her mother. Evelyn was always setting up members of her clan with others. She would study their files and then find what she believed was suitable matches. Shiva had always been intrigued by it and as a little girl kept trying to match up the other children. She never succeeded but it had been quite enjoyable. "Kuro-san is a little shy but he has a hidden boldness to him. If they take a liking to each other I'm counting on that to seal the deal if she can push that boldness out of him." Course who was to say it could be a complete disaster. They could end up completely incompatible but at least Maria would have taken a chance. It would be a great learning experience to teach her what to look for in a man the next time if Kuro lacked what she wanted.
"Of course my love." She'd moan gently at the kiss placing a hand on his chest. Then Maria could be heard returning with Ken and she pulled back turning around to face her. "What else is there to tell him?" Shiva would blink curiously she had told him everything he wanted to know up til now. She had few secrets left so what could Maria possibly know. She honestly didn't mind cooking now but it seemed she had been outvoted so she would go along with that tonight. Perhaps in the morning she would cook Maria's favorite breakfast along with Roronora's favorite as well. "Well it's settled then. They make some pretty great food too Maria shame I'll have to start cutting back on it soon." It was good stuff but probably not that great for a growing baby. Still she could be wrong and the child being Roronora's was bound to share his tastes as much as they did hers only time would tell.

Roronora didn’t have too many questions, but he didn’t want to seem dis interested in her. “Uhh well if you insist. What do you like to eat; I’m sure the Dragon will have something you like I’ll get the menu.” He was going to hop up and get it, but Kage stalked into his room to fetch it. “Thanks bud you know I can never find this thing.” He handed the menu to Shiva and Maria he already knew what he’d order. Roronora nodded he trusted what she said about Kuro. “Sounds like a good man.” With her moaning in his ear he was almost disappointed Maria came back so soon, but there’d be plenty of time for that later. He felt for Shiva. He would hate giving up his favorite foods for as long as she would have to. Roronora pulled out a pencil and a pad to take down their order, and have Ken run it to the Dragon. “Anything you girls want I’ll just have them put it on my tab.”

"I'm not too picky really. My favorite sweets are Dango." She was simply addicted to them she would admit. She was always buying some when she stopped in a town or village somewhere. Another habit developed under Sensei Washi's tutelage. He hated his pupils being so uptight and tried to teach them to enjoy some of the finer things in life like the sweets that was Dango or alcohol like Sake. Everyone he said needed to unwind sometimes and that was what a real adult did. She would look to Shiva as she was handed the menu first seeming as how Roronora had made his mind up already. "Hm. I think I would love the Omurice dish with a side dish of Oatmeal Fried Bananas if they serve that kid of stuff there. If not get me whatever the special is tonight." Strange dishes the man had probably never had before but she loved them. An omulet filled with fried rice and chicken served with oatmeal fried bananas it was truly delectable and her favorite dish of all time. Having decided she would hand the menu to Shiva now. This reunion was going a lot better than she thought and already she felt like part of the family truly accepted and loved by them both as if she had always been a part of it.

""I think you'd like him dear." Shiva would simply reply with a whisper. Then she'd nuzzle his cheek before he moved to fetch the menu. She was a pretty good cook but the Dragon's Den was something else. She had never tasted such exquisite and flavor rich food before she was glad Roronora had introduced her to it for that one date night out on the town. "Well I'd like some of those oatmeal friend bananas too but I think I'll have some of the special soup and salad combo." They made some pretty good soup she had to admit. She'd never been a soup fan before until she had some of their soup. She really liked what Maria was having so perhaps after her pregnancy she would try it. Done deciding she handed the menu back to Roronora. Then she would smile wrapping an arm around Maria's waist now. "So now that that's settled. Tell me where you have been the past few years Maria. You must have seen some pretty exciting things and met some pretty exciting people." She would say resting her head against Maria's now. She'd missed out on so much in her younger sister's life she was bound to have some exciting adventures of her own.

Roronora liked the sweets, but it wasn’t something he went out of his way for. “Oh yeah sweets are the best at the Dragon Bo Rai Cho seems to like his sweets too.” Roronora was a bit surprised at her meal choice, but whatever floated her boat. “Alright sounds good.” He wrote down her meal choice and then wrote down his order of Beef Fried Rice and a bottle of Sake. “If you like him I’m sure I’ll like him.” Before nuzzling her neck. He wrote down Shiva’s order, and then handed it to Ken. “There you go Ken post haste.” She nodded and then dashed off. “That’s my girl.” He said with a smirk. He sat back to listen to Maria’s story. “Yeah Regale us with the your adventures. That should keep us entertained until Ken gets back.”

Maria simply smiled sheepishly watching Ken run off with the order now. She would feel Shiva release her now and looked over to see her pick Silvia up who then proceeded to fall asleep in her arms. What stories were there to tell them in particular there were so many to choose from. She guessed she would hit on the big points then to cut down time so she didn't bore them to death. "Where do I even begin? Well after I ran away I went to one of the smaller lesser known villages. There I took up a job as a waitress." Those days hadn't been too pleasant all the men wanting to oogle her trying to lay their hands on her. It'd only gotten worse over the next two years as she matured and developed more. She could remember be the only reason a select few regulars came into the restaurant.
"I did that for two years before I scrounged up enough ryo to go to the Land of Iron and attend Sensei Washi Ra Dae's samurai academy. I spent six years there training long and hard becoming one of his top students. I nearly lost an arm once." She would continue and when pausing showed them the scar on her arm and navel area. Shiva would gasp a little leaning in to get a closer look now. "After that I took up mercenary work up until now and studied under a medical ninja briefly for a year. Then I decided to return home and come see you. Seems I missed out on a lot these past few years." Head of INTEL engaged to be married with a baby on the way her elder sister had quite the full plate it seemed. She had also heard about that incident but felt no need to bring it up. She could only imagine the devastation and pray she never had to go through what she had.

Shiva would smile too watching Ken go such a loyal partner she was both in battle and normal life. She would feel a weight on her feet and looking down found Silvia there trying to sleep. She would chuckle lightly and shake her head a little. She would release Maria to reach down and pick Silvia to hold her in her arms for now. She was a little heavy but she didn't mind not that Silvia seemed to care already falling asleep in her arms again. She'd also dyed her hair apparently since it used to be silver too but she loved the color purple almost all her outfits contained some purple in it along with black. She honestly didn't mind having silver hair even if it made her look a lot older then she really was. She was happy with her appearance overall and would never change it for anyone who didn't like it.
"Oh my goodness." Shiva would gasp examining the scars now. She was more worried about the scar on her navel area to be honest. Had it gone any deeper and well she might not be baring kids anymore in the future but Maria seemed fine and chipper so she must have narrowly avoided it. She would sigh in relief not trying to get worried about it. She'd hate to think Kuro-san would shun her sister if she turned out to be barren. "That you did Marianisa. I'm head of INTEL now which I helped found. I'm engaged to be married as you know and my biggest surprise is being pregnant. I know it will remind of what I lost before but I-I well I know this time will be different." She would say now closing her eyes as she put Silvia down now kneeling down. She couldn't go through another miscarriage again it would just destroy her inside and leave her broken and what good would she be to her husband-to be then.
