Goddess of Ice; Reborn as Naruto's twin sister

Chapter 258 - Not The First Wife!?

While Hinata was still lying on her back, Yuna casually sat next to her and waited for her to start speaking. A few minutes had passed, but Hinata hasn\'t said a word so far despite opening and closing her mouth multiple times.

Yuna could easily see that she was getting more and more unsure of what she even wanted to say and how she wanted to say it. Yuna shook her head and decided to give Hinata a little push. She stood up, and before Hinata could say anything, she sat down onto Hinata\'s hips and leaned forward, effectively trapping Hinata under her. ??

"Y-Yuna, what are you doi… *mmh*"

Before Hinata could finish speaking, Yuna leaned down some more and kissed her, causing her to hum in pleasure.

After kissing for a few seconds, the two separated again, resulting in Hinata pouting and Yuna smiling at her in amusement.

"Why did you do that, Yu…*moan*"

Yet again, Yuna kissed Hinata before she could finish speaking and separated from her a few seconds later.

This time, instead of speaking, Hinata took a deep breath to calm down her taut nerves. Hinata understood that Yuna kissed her to make her relax and make it easier for her to start the conversation, but she still couldn\'t help being annoyed and happy at the same time at how easily Yuna could calm her down.

"*Sigh* Thank you for calming me down, Yuna. I am fine now."

"Hehe, no problem. I always enjoy calming you down."

Without teasing Hinata any further, Yuna rolled to the side and landed next to Hinata on the bed. To Yuna\'s surprise, Hinata rolled with her, and now their positions were exchanged. Without saying anything else, a blushing Hinata leaned down and kissed Yuna just like Yuna previously kissed her and moment later leaned back up again, breaking up the kiss.

"I love you as well, Yuna."

Instead of answering Hinata, Yuna only smiled at her happily while motioning for Hinata to continue speaking.

This time, it didn\'t take long for Hinata to gather her thoughts, and moments later, she started the actual discussion.

"Don\'t you find me annoying, Yuna? My jealousy is getting worse and worse, and by now, I have even reached a point where I even consider killing off women that get close to you."

"Isn\'t it fine as long as you just consider it and not actually do it?"

"HOW IS THAT FINE!? AREN\'T I COMPLETELY INSANE!? IF THIS KEEPS GETTING WORSE, I MIGHT ACTUALLY KILL SOMEONE INNOCENT JUST BECAUSE OF MY IRRATIONAL JEALOUSY!!!"

Although Hinata\'s voice was getting louder and louder as tears were about to spill from her eyes, Yuna patiently waited for Hinata to finish her rant before softly cupping Hinata\'s face with her hands and giving her a warm smile.

On the one hand, Hinata felt a little ashamed when she saw Yuna smiling at her like that because Yuna\'s facial expression looked like one a mother would use to talk to her sad child; on the other hand, however, Hinata loved the warm feeling it was giving her.

"Is that really how you perceive yourself, Hinata?"

Hinata tilted her head in confusion when she heard Yuna\'s question.

"Well, yes. Just now, I went to Fuu\'s room and genuinely considered killing her just because she was interacting with you."

"And? Did you?"

"No, she overwhelmed me with words, and before I knew it, we became friends."

While Hinata blushed a little when she thought about how easily Fuu "defeated" her, Yuna couldn\'t help but chuckle a little.

"Yeah, she tends to do that, but that isn\'t really important, now. You seemed to have overseen something rather crucial about your own behavior, Hinata."

Hinata looked at Yuna in confusion when she heard her words. After all, it was her own behavior, so Hinata didn\'t think like she missed anything, but considering Yuna usually doesn\'t mess around in a situation like that, she patiently waited for Yuna\'s following words.

"If you are so jealous of other women, then what about Anko?"

"Eh? A-Anko? Well, I got kind of used to her. W-Well, I guess you could even say that we have gotten rather close *cough*."

Yuna rolled her eyes at Hinata, who was pretending that she didn\'t share quite a few kisses with Anko by now and simply continued talking.

"Very well, let\'s pretend Anko is a special case and ignore my argument. Then, what about Karin? Since she acts as my maid and is one of my genin, you occasionally interact with her, but those interactions are clearly entirely different from the one you have with Anko. What is that about? If it is about getting rid of women that are close to me, then Karin is clearly the easiest target.

Well, even if we dismiss Karin as another special case, there is still Mei Terumi left. So far, you have had no contact with her, and you only know how she looks due to her bingo book entry. Despite that, you are making no plans to get rid of her. When I returned home after meeting Mei for the first time, you started asking all kinds of questions about her, but after you were satisfied, you stopped caring. So, Hinata, what do you think this is all about?"

Hinata was utterly gobsmacked when Yuna finished speaking. She never thought about why she suddenly stopped paying attention to Mei. Anko and Karin\'s cases could still be argued away, but no matter how Hinata looked at it, Mei\'s couldn\'t.

"I-I don\'t know."

"In that case, let me tell you what I think is actually the case. You don\'t like more women joining my harem; that is indeed the case, but not the main point. The moment they become part of it, you no longer seemed to be annoyed by their presence, as if the problem wasn\'t more women being part of my harem but something else. Do you know what that something is, Hinata?"

Like always, Yuna let people come to their own conclusions as she patiently waited for Hinata to digest her words.

\'The problem isn\'t being in the harem but something else? I don\'t want them to join, but as soon as they join, I am okay with it? That is…true? What is going on? Why am I fine after they joined?… It\'s because after they entered, I confirmed that they wouldn\'t threaten my position, so I was okay with it.\'

"I-I feared that they would take away my position, but after confirming that was not the case, I no longer minded."

"Yup, I came to the same conclusion, and, by the way, this is where you have another misunderstanding. You do not have the special status you believe you have."

When she heard Yuna\'s declaration, Hinata\'s eyes widened in shock as tears threatened to come out of her eyes.

"Y-Y-You d-don\'t think o-of me a-as s-s-special?"

Yuna could only roll her eyes at Hinata\'s misunderstanding and lightly pinched her cheek.

"Please listen to my words properly, Hinata. You have a special status, just not the one you believe you have."

Although Hinata calmed down consideredly when she heard Yuna\'s words, her emotions were still in turmoil.

"S-So you don\'t think I\'m your f-first w-wive?"

"Of course not. As I said, you are misunderstanding something. You have a special status, but so do Anko, Karin, and Mei. This is not a race or a contest of who I favor the most. I\'m not some random king or emporer who can\'t handle their harem correctly, resulting in them constantly killing each other. I don\'t do things halfheartedly."

On the one hand, Hinata felt slightly devastated when Yuna said that she didn\'t consider her the first wife, but on the other hand, Yuna\'s words after that managed to calm her down considerably.

"W-What kind of unique position do I have?"

A mischievous smile appeared on Yuna\'s face as she pulled Hinata\'s face closer to her own, just stopping when their noses were about to touch, and their eyes are only a few centimeters away from each other.

"Hehe, you are my cure, little Hinata, that gets easily embarrassed when I tease her, gets jealous when other women are mentioned, and is calm and collected during combat. It\'s a unique status only you can hold."

Before Hinata could say anything, Yuna pulled her head down some more, resulting in their lips touching yet again.
