As Kurotsuchi left, she kept glancing back at Uzuki Yugao's expression. Even though Yugao looked miserable, Kurotsuchi felt strangely delighted.
Uchiha Mikoto stared at Kurotsuchi for a moment, then broke into a look of amused anticipation. The girl was thinking exactly the same thing she was.
And Kurotsuchi was even helping her. Mikoto would have been lying if she said she wasn't pleased. She grinned from ear to ear.
She raised her eyebrows at Kurotsuchi with a playful look.
Uchiha Yin looked baffled when he saw them. "What's with you two tonight?" he asked with a grin. "You've been acting strange all evening, and now you're both so happy. Did something fun happen? Come on, tell me!"

Mikoto and Kurotsuchi exchanged a glance, shared a mysterious smile, and shook their heads in unison. "Nothing!"
Kurotsuchi, in particular, looked up at him with bright eyes and an expression of perfect sincerity.
Yin knew there wasn't a shred of truth to it, but he couldn't bring himself to call them out. He pursed his lips. "All right, I'll believe you for now. We should head back!"
He smiled at them both. He had been worried the two might not get along, but it seemed he had worried for nothing.
Seeing them together like this was a relief. After all, they were both part of his harem. If they couldn't get along, it would give him no end of trouble.
Now that he had seen this, he could rest easy. If he had to go away for some reason, he wouldn't have to worry about them.
He knew the women in his life rarely gave him cause for concern, but he still couldn't help worrying.
After all, Yin had no family in the Shinobi World.
