Alright, so here is the next chapter and it is less about the relationship and more about the Parents! I know we meet the father in the series, but I gave him a bit of new personality along with his mother and made them more... light-hearted and witty. You'll see.

I hope you enjoy this, and review either way!

…..

That mission sucked. Mostly because she botched it, but it sucked in general. Anko had a basic B-Rank protection mission on a merchant that pissed off a few people in some podunk shinobi village and hired a group of Leaf shinobi to guard him for two weeks while the heat died down. It was her and a team from the year after Shino, two of them were still being genin. She knew not everyone could cut it as a strong shinobi, but it was still kind of pitiful to deal with them even though they knew what they were doing.

So, basic but strong defense perimeter, keeping an eye on the help, always keeping a fresh face near the guy, all the standard stuff. Guy had a voice that made you want to punch him, bit of a con artist, and his wife was pretentious and thought she was a 10 instead of a 6. Day 10 comes along, and they hadn't even sniffed a hint of shinobi on the guy. Him and his wife go to bed for the night, and there is detail by the window and the door. Nothing was going to happen. But Anko forgot Protection 101, making sure to vet ALL of those close to the client. His wife drove a screwdriver through his brain in the middle of the night, and by the time the team realized it they were too late. Turns out, she had been porking one of the shinobi in the village he pissed off and had to end it when they got out of dodge. She wanted to go back to him, so she killed her husband figuring the shinobi would leave since the mission failed and she could run along to her mister.

Anko nearly scalped her, and took her to the nearby jail to have her arrested. The trio were sticking around in that town to testify and have her sent to prison, while Anko had the lovely task of going back to the village, revealing why she failed her mission and where her team was, and making sure Kakashi didn't mock here. He teased her, but it was just after midnight so he didn't hold her up. She immediately went back to her place to sleep. Except she couldn't sleep, and was still up at 4:48 AM as her alarm clock glowed. She was frustrated with herself, and decided she was not going to stay semi-awake by herself any longer. Her first thought was to Kurenai, but with the kid she couldn't afford to lose the sleep. The next thought was to her boyfriend, Shino Abrurame. She thought for sure this would be far more interesting, and she quickly slipped on her clothes she had been wearing (she was too tired to care otherwise), and left for the Abrurame estate.

Technically, she had never seen which house Shino lived in or where he lived in his house. But that didn't matter, since she was a ninja, and ninja's usually had a good track record in listening. So she knew he lived in a house with two large pines to the left of it and had three floors for "clan needs". And she also knew he lived on the second floor in the room next to the pine trees, which made it impossible for him to see the sun set in the evenings from his windows. It only took a minute or two despite the pre-dawn moonlight being her only guide to finding his place. She smirked when she saw his window, and began to think of what she might do to him.

Slowly, she wall climbed his house and pulled out a kunai, examining the window as she made her way up. She was trying to figure out the best spots to pop open the window at, to make this a quick and silent entry. She wanted to find out something about her stoic boyfriend. Did he sleep in pajamas, boxers or in the nude when he was alone in bed? She was sort of hoping in the nude, but that was just her perverted side talking.

She made her gameplan on entering Fortress Abrurame and quickly got to work once she was at the window. A few expert manuvers and a little force were all it took to open the locked window. Quietly opening it just enough for her to slip in, she used the kunai reflectiveness and the moonlight to check for traps by his window. Seeing nothing unusual, she jumped into the room and landed without a whisper. She double checked that her chakra was fully suppressed, as she didn't want to become a feast by an angry swarm. Slowly, she made his way over to his bed, located next to the door on the other side of the room. His room was spotless with everything in perfect order, so she tiptoed over to him, a frown growing as she closed the distance. It became blindingly obvious that he was not in his bed. Which meant he was on some sort of mission. She couldn't get mad or anything, they were ninja, but she was annoyed. The only good thing she found about this event was where he lived and how to get in for next time. Next time, she would make sure that he was in the house before she came. As she turned to leave through the window, it suddenly slammed shut. Freezing for a moment, Anko saw small black bugs through the glass that were the culprit, and a number of black kikaichu crawling under Shino's door to come after her. Anko realized she had two option, try to bail or let herself get captured and ensure that Shino wasn't trying to be kidnapped by some missing nin or village. As much as she wanted to bail, it was probably in the best interest of all involved to get this over with quickly, like ripping off a bandage. Anko stayed still as the kikaichu surrounded her.

Quietly, she was led to a room designed to keep ninja inside that was on the third floor. Considering the clan, it probably had something to do with their beetles. She expected to be quickly interrogated and have this entire mess cleared up.

Five hours later, Anko was fuming and cursing. If she had known they were gonna leave in some padded cell, she would have made a break for it and turned herself in. Yeah, Kakashi would get a laugh but everything would have already been settled and she would be able to take a piss.

"Goddamnit, either get me to a toilet or I will go full Inuzuka in this room. Do NOT test me!" She threatened to no one in particular, but she knew she was being watched by somebody. Hopefully not Shino. That would be a little awkward. Ahh, fuck it, she needed to piss.

"Three!" She didn't really want to do this to a family of Konoha, especially the household of her boyfriend, but they had tested her.

"Two!" She wondered if they had any experience with T&I. Quite a few prisoners in the past had threatened to pee themselves or in the room as a way to dissuade enhanced interrogations. Protocol was to let them fester in their own urine. Few actually went through with it.

"One!" Anko really wished it hadn't come to this. She was going to have to strip so none of her clothes got ruined and everything.

"That's it!" She announced, reaching under her skirt and pulling down her underwear. As she bent over, as if on cue, a tall male Abrurame with a distinct afro and pair of glasses entered the room with a cloth pad in one hand. It was Shibi Abrurame, Shino's dad.

"While we prefer you had left the room, which had not been locked since you began your bathroom request, if you wish for something else we suppose this diaper would make do for the time being. Do not worry, it is adult-sized." He informed with a straight face.

Anko blushed, hiking back up her underwear. "Your clan isn't as emotionless as you guys seem, are you?" She had been had, god damn it. She needed to remember the diaper trick if it came up at work again.

"We simply do not express them. We are not emotionless. Now, I assume you want to go to the bathroom properly?" He asked her as she walked towards him.

Anko rolled her eyes and nodded. "Yeah, yeah. Then you guys get to torture me and find out the juicy reason I'm here." She waved

Shibi looked at her with a blank expression. "My wife is rather excited. She will able to use the dragonflies that causes your chakra to itch, and the ants that causes vomiting."

Anko has her eyes wide. The ants didn't bother her, however... "Wait, what dragonflies?"

Shibi let himself smirk wide enough for Anko to see. She got grumpy when she realized it. "Damn it, you are enjoying this Shibi, aren't you?"

His smirk faded into his standard emotionless expression. "I can neither confirm or deny my current emotional state." His face didn't give an inch. Anko was really annoyed now.

…

She sat across from the owners of the house, Shibi and Suzuki Abrurame, both groups staring down the other. Anko was debating on what to say to them. A lie, a truth, a half truth, a future possibility? The options were endless. She just had to figure out what story would get the biggest rise out of them. Because she wasn't bothered or worried about what they would do to her, but more in getting the Abrurame to react. It was a game she played with Shino and she wouldn't treat his parents any differently.

Unfortunately for her plans, Suzuki Abrurame spoke first. "Just so we are clear, you deliberately chose to enter the room of our son, Shino, correct? You did not choose this at random." She wanted to be clear on the facts.

"Indeed, I was going to see your son, Shino." Anko admitted casually. "And I bet you are dying to know what for." She smirked, trying to get them interested.

Shibi and Shizuki looked at each other before performing a short nod. Shibi turned to her. "I believe the term you would use for it is a "booty call"? I am not up to par on slang terminology."

Now they were just fucking with her. They knew something. Had Shino already revealed their relationship to his parents? He didn't seem the type to really talk about personal matters with his folks. Or did someone nark on them? She was curious now.

"A 'booty call'? That's cute. Guess again." Anko decided to see where they would go with it.

"Well, you didn't have any scrolls with you, so I do not believe you have your dominatrix outfit with you. Considering his father, Shino would be a submissive." Suzuki cracked a joke on her husband.

Anko grinned. They were getting into this. "Whoever said Shino was the submissive? You know he has a wax candle near his bed, and it sure as hell isn't for emergencies." She sniped back.

Shibi raised his eyebrows. "Or perhaps you are here as an escort? Abrurame males are among the highest purchasing clans of those services due to some inabilities in finding lovers." He remarked on the clan's legendary stoicism.

Anko snickered at the idea. "An escort? I don't care if he is a clan heir, he couldn't afford me as an escort. This body is too good for just anybody."

Suzuki eyed her body. "Would he be able to afford a stripper dance? Your clothes are not far from the mark." She looked at the fishnets in particular.

"Maybe, but he would have had to come to me. I wouldn't do housecalls, they rarely have the right tools." Anko was surprised to see the wit hiding behind the Abrurame clan high collars. Shino did not have this level of brashness.

"Or perhaps it was simply the act of a girlfriend wanting to see her man regardless of the hour?" Shibi seemed to drop the comedic ruse they had.

Suzuki nodded. "Indeed. However, to go as far as breaking into an Abrurame household informs us of her lack of common sense. The kikaichu know all."

Anko frowned at the insult. "Whatever, I bet you didn't know I was here until I was inside of Shino's room. If I had really been a threat, it would have been too late for you to do much."

The air hung with that warning for a moment before Suzuki proceeded. "Indeed, the clan does need to bring up a superior security system during our next meeting. But this was not an interrogation of our security system, we do not need you to act as some mouse of Konoha. We are interrogating you on why you entered our son's room, and your relationship with him."

"And what do you know as of now, so we can get past the boring bits?" Anko asked her captors.

"While Shino has not mentioned anything in particular, enough anecdotal evidence has come to us from reliable sources to definitively conclude that he has entered the relationship with you over the past two months. Is this correct?" Shibi mechanically asked her.

Anko nodded. "Yeah, me and him have started dating. We haven't gotten far yet since we are always on missions, but it's steady." She had really been hoping to spend a bit more time with him. Anko did like him and that was unlikely as hell.

"I see. While you do share a key individual of interest in Kurenai Yuuhi, we would like to know how this relationship began." Suzuki was interested in her son's relationships.

Anko shrugged. "Uzumaki and Inuzuka both thought Shino needed a girlfriend, and Uzumaki asked me to be the date on a blind date. I gave it a shot, had a good time, we set up a few more dates, kept having a good time, and now we are here." She went through the timeline.

"So you are saying your relationship is going well?" Shibi asked for clarification.

"As well as it can as when the guy's parents lock you into a room and interrogate you." Anko pointed out the ludicrousness of the situation.

The two Abrurame looked at each other, and had a conversation with just their face muscles. Anko was impressed, that had to take decades of practice to develop.

Suzuki ended the conversation between her and Shibi and returned attentions to Anko. "Now, Anko Mitarashi, I would like a clear answer. Do you consider this relationship a temporary experience, or do you have the intention that, if all goes well in this relationship, it will lead to a marriage with our son?"

The 'm' word was out, and Anko was feeling a little antsy. Of course a mom would want to know that kind of thing. Shino was Shino, and Anko was Anko. Still, it was a thing she hadn't even thought about. "I never was really big into the idea of being Mrs. Anko Mitarashi. Not that I don't think it is feasible me and Shino actually have a long relationship, but I'm not exactly the marrying sort." Anko informed them of this truth, itching to get out of this situation.

"Is Shino aware of this?" Shibi asked, an eyebrow raised behind the glasses.

"Come on, are you kidding me? Who talks about their views of marriages when you are still trying to get to know each other. Isn't that sort of stuff left for after you think about moving in with one another and the sex turns steady?" Anko really wish she had shut her mouth before the last part.

"Sex turns steady?" Suzuki repeated. "Well, it is odd for a mother to hear about future relations her son may have, it is pleasant that you are not turned off by the kikaichu. Many potential lovers of Abrurame run scared when the first time is attempted."

Anko was attempting to determine the amount of time it would take to exit the room and determine the fastest way out of the compound and if it could beat the speed of their kikaichu if needed. She wasn't liking those odds without major property damage being involved. "Yeah, well, we probably don't need to worry about that for a bit. No offense, but your son is a bit of a prude. It will take a while before he is ready for this body?" Anko hid her nervousness with a sexy motioning to her form.

"But is that body ready for a child?" Suzuki quickly asked.

Anko nearly fell out of her chair. "What the fuck?" No need to censor herself, what the hell was this woman thinking?

Shibi took over. "I believe what my wife is referring to is if you expect to have children, and what time frame this would be in. Most shinobi have their kids between 20-26, while you are already past those common ages. Scientific research also shows that, upon a certain age being reached, those infants are at a higher risk for physical problems. We are only showing concern for our grandchildren." Shibi made clear.

"I don't think that is really of your concern, or important right now." Anko was not fond of the idea of raising little hers.

"Do you have reservations about your children receiving a kikaichu hive?" Suzuki quickly inquired.

"A hive?"

"Indeed, it would require you move onto the compound however. Honey, should we expand our residence or build Shino and Anko a new one?" Shibi asked his wife.

"Wait, move here?"

"Well, I do recall your father wanting us to expand his compound and we chose moving into a new one. I believe they would want the same." Suzuki reminded him.

"Hey don't I get a say in this?"

"Suzuki, do you believe that Anko could have at least two grandchildren when the time comes? I do regret not giving Shino a sibling, when we both had ones in our lives."

"Two?"

"I believe this is a perfect attempt to interject fresh blood into the Abrurame clan. Is it reasonable to ask for 4?" Suzuki thought aloud.

"That

s it, I'm out of here. Tell Shino he has to come to my place to see me, you guys are nuts." Anko was getting out of this conversation. She quickly got up and bounded out the door, taking a left in the hallway and hoping it was the way out. She also wanted to outrun any kikaichu.

However, no kikaichu were after her. Instead, Shibi and Suzuki looked at one each other.

"I didn't think she would get so shy when we talked about kids. She is a few years olders than we were when we had Shino." Suzuki pointed out to her husband.

Shibi shrugged. "Well, she is more free-spirited than we were. She may have only found the man she wishes to settle with now."

There was a pause in the conversation. "Do you think she will last with Shino?"

Shibi thought about it for a moment. "Well, we will find out soon enough. If she can't handle us, then I doubt she is right for him."

The two agreed to the sentiment, and left to start their days in the village.

A week later...

"Mother, father, what did you say to Anko?" Shino asked his parents when he caught them making breakfast that morning.

"What do you mean, dear?" Suzuki asked her son, wondering what had happened.

"Well," Shino began to recount, "when I asked her about your request of us having dinner together tomorrow night, she had a funny expression on her face. She actually stuttered before saying yes, and asked you guys not bring up the stuff from last time. I asked what she meant, but she refused. What was last time?" Shino quizzed them.

Shibi and Suzuki looked at each other with a subtle smirk on their faces.

"Oh, you know, the usual." Suzuki waved it off.

"The usual?" Shino asked.

Shibi nodded. "Yeah, you know, the usual. If she was a dominatrix, if she was a stripper, two or four grandkids. The usual."

Both parents enjoyed the look of shock on his face. It was the little things.
