#genanko

After a long day of work in the lab, there was only one thing that would provide Anko with the energy required to continue about her day. Well, two, but Genma had plans with Raido today so sex was out of the question for the time being.

Which left her with dango as the treat of choice. Five sticks were enough to get her by, but there was a tiny problem. Well, actually it was a rather large problem.

“Come on,” tilting her body a little left, she glared down the line-up. There were at least twenty people in front of her still, which meant another ten minutes minimum before she got her hands on some delicious dango. “I should have left the lab earlier.”

Perhaps she would have avoided this whole mess if she had just called it quits a bit sooner, but her current research was too interesting to just forget about because she was a little hungry.

“Curse my love for poisonous snakes,” she grumbled, shuffling forward when the line began to move. It didn’t get very far before stopping once more, but she was happy that there was at least some movement. “Why couldn’t I be born loving something boring like training?” At least then she would be less inclined to work late and would get to the dango shop when there was no line-up.

Feeling a spike of chakra directly behind her, she sighed. The only time she really felt other people’s chakra was when they focused it in a way that made it easy to feel, unlike poisons, chakra sensing wasn’t something she was very good at, and there was only one person who did that with her.

“You’re hovering,” leaning her head back, she scowled up at Gemma and his handsome face. “I thought you were hanging out with Raido?”

“I am,” Genma pointed towards the street. Following his signal, she glanced in the direction he directed and smiled when she saw Raido standing there patiently waiting for Genma’s return. “I just happened to see a pretty lady who looked like she was suffering.”

Suffering was the appropriate description of her current feelings.

“I’ll be happy once I get my hands on some dango,” it might take forever to get to the front of the line, but the prize waiting for her at the end was well worth the wait. “Go have your fun. I’ll be fine here in this endless line, wasting my life away.”

It sounded rather pathetic when she said it like that.

“If you insist.” draping his arms over her shoulders, he pulled her back against his body and leaned down to press a kiss against her nose.

She couldn’t help but scrunch her nose up when she felt his lips touch it. “Gross.”

“Love you too,” releasing his hold on her, he took a step back. “Try not to kill anyone for quick access to dango.”

“Oh,” her ears perked up. “Maybe if I-”

“Anko…”

“Just a little poison,” the people directly in front of her shuffled away, their eyes watching her carefully. “No one in this village is any fun.”

Giving his head a shake, Genma turned his back to her. “No poisoning anyone,” he clarified as he made his way back towards Raido. “Be Good!”

She snickered when she heard those last two words. If there was anything Genma knew without a doubt, it was that Anko was never ‘good’. Good was boring, and Anko wanted dango now.

He couldn’t really blame her for what she did next.

After all, how was she supposed to know that summoning a six-foot-long snake was going to send everyone in the line running?
