…

Yami wakes up, unlike the normal person who would yawn or instinctively stretch themselves. He just suddenly opened his eyes, there was no trace of sleeplessness in them. It was as if he just blinked and wasn't asleep for nine hours.

'I have started loathing the necessity of sleep. Like death, it puts even the powerful on their backs.' Though Yami as he calmly got up. His immortal body does not feel any tiredness, fatigue, or anything like that. 

Even if he fights for a whole year against an army, he would still be able to fight them all… 

He saw that his little spy was still on his bed, and couldn't help but admire her voluptuous body.

....

-Yami POV-  

If it wasn't about her emotionless state, she would give me a nice night. I guess as expected, she didn't even m.o.a.n once during the hours upon hours we had s*x yesterday. I guess the brain wipe was successful... no p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e or pain… she can't be manipulated by either...

As I go and start putting on my clothes I can't help but think about a good saying in my last life. 'Everything is about s*x.' 

But I always added something more in my head. 'Everything is about s*x. Except for s*x. S*x is about power.'

As she gets closer she stops and looks at me with her eyebrows frowned in annoyance, as she said. "Yami.... tell me to do you... you know... do things.... with some of the kunoichi in the camp."

My immediate answer would be yes. I have fu*ked almost every pretty girl in my camp, it gets boring around here, so I have to keep myself entertained while my shadow clones take care of everything else. 

But of course, I keep these activities a secret.... hope one of them invites me to her wedding... I want to see the face of the loser who will get my sloppy seconds. 

Of course, I tell none of this to Tsume. I just mentioned to her as I say. "Walk with me Teume."

She seems confused, but she complies nonetheless. We walk a little away from everyone's hearing. We are at the very edges of the camp and there are no people around. So I took this moment to say to Tsume. "Tell me... how do you think humanity evolved."

Tsume immediately frowned when I said that. "Listen Yami, I know what you are going to do. No matter what I say, I know that you will change the conversation without me even noticing... so I simply want a direct answer right now."

I can't help but be amused by her reaction. Since she has let her hair down she is a bang able 7.5/10... but still she is a little too young to be able to escape my bullsh*t speech.  

"What do you think of human intelligence Tsume?" I asked her with a certain playfulness in my voice.

Tsume just sighs when she heard this. "Damn... you are so annoying Yami. Can't you be serious for once."

I just smirked at her.  "I think that the human intellect is like peac.o.c.k feathers."

Immediately that gets her curiosity. "Just an extravagant display intended to attract a mate. All of art, literature, a bit of the Kage, greatest ninja, intellectuals, and even the Konoha. 

They are all just an elaborate mating ritual. Maybe it doesn't matter that we have accomplished so much for the basest of reasons. But, of course, the peac.o.c.k can barely fly. It lives in the dirt, pecking insects out of the muck, consoling itself with its great beauty. Just like humanity, consoling itself with its intelligence, never understanding the true meaning of intelligence and power."

Tsume immediately had a conflicted look in her eyes. Yep... when saying that type of sh*t in front of someone, definitely confuses them. Maybe I should use this as a way to confuse my enemies... now that would be amusing...

.

But enough amus.e.m.e.nt for now. I can't let Tsume get too jealous or she might decide that I don't appreciate her enough, so it's better to spy on me for someone else... then I would have to kill her. It would be a shame since she has been so useful to me. Hmmm... if I am not mistaken, she will soon be 18 right...

I run through my memories for a second, a quick read through them... and yep... her birthday was a week ago... I forgot and didn't give her anything... well I don't even celebrate my birthdays but whatever, some people like to be sentimental like this.

I mean to other people, it's like celebrating, for being one year closer to death... glad I won't have to worry about old age or that would kinda suck...

I just smiled at Tsume and put one of my hands behind my back and smiled towards her. "Well now Tsume, I know that this might be a little late but..."

I pull the hand from my back and there is a bouquet. "Happy Birthday Tsume... sorry I have been a little busy lately."

Tsume seems happy at this but then she suddenly frowns. "Yami... are you changing the subject again."

I just wink at her. "Of course.... yes..."

She immediately started screaming around and complaining. I just zoned her out and simply said. "It isn't important why I do what I do... I was simply bored in the camp. I had urges and I satisfied them."

I could see the look into her eyes, I could feel the decade of manipulation that I have done on Tsume take effect. Her face seems conflicted, her eyes a little dilated, her breathing has sped up a little and she has a small blush on her face.  

I just smile a little... she was manipulated to fall in love, head over heels for me... 

"W -Well... I -I can... be your..." Tsume whispers something under her breath. 

By her saying that I can already analyze that she doesn't know how to express her feelings and what to say.

I noticed Tsume has to use her kunoichi training, and the techniques Yami taught her so she can calm herself. Finally, with an even and calm voice, she asked. "Yami... do you think we could be a family... as in a wife and husband."

No... Little Tsume... but I couldn't say that. So I just looked down at my hand and said...

...

P.S: Yami has manipulated Tsume her whole life. He has slowly and patiently built her to be who she is... even though he didn't use any memory manipulation techniques on her... Tsume is already Yami's puppet...
