(Before you read this please be aware that there was a story that was the prequel to this fanfic entitled Could You Be My Valentine. So if you hadn't read that one, this fanfic wouldn't make sense, so don't hesisate to read it! XD)
Chapter one: Compilcated Love
"You can't have both me and Rebecca! Now spit it out already, who do you chose? Me or that horrible disgrace for a woman that took me away from you?!"
"Why would he have to choose? He already knows how much of a cold hearted witch you are deep down inside! All you want is his money! Brad, please, I'm begging you take me instead of, Serena!"
"That's right, Rebecca! Stand up for your man!" shouted a raven haired woman as she sat on the edge of couch dark eyes glued to the screen of her TV. Grabbing the bowl off the coffee table, which was filled to the brim with it's third bag of hot buttery microwaveable popcorn, she reached in and then proceed to shoving a handful of the crunchy butter snack into her mouth. With her mouth full Mikoto Uchiha shouted to the TV again. "There's no way Brad could see anything in that Serena!"
It had been a long day for the mother of the Uchiha household and after completely her daily task of cooking, cleaning, doing the laundry, going grocery shopping and even taking the time to tend to the family's large garden Mikoto was now taking time to just relax. Which for her meant, soaking herself in a long hot bubble bath, washing her hair and applying a face mask before dressing in her sweatpants and tank top, popping some popcorn and lounging on the couch and watching her favorite show. Complicated Love.
Yes it was one of those sappy romance soap operas, but Mikoto couldn't get enough of the show, it was her guilty pleasure! The main plot line was about this man named Brad that came from a faraway land to help spread his family business in a large bustling city. But being that Mr. Perfect every soap opera has, Brad has deiced to keep his wealth a secret and live simple life while at the same time helping the company he is assigned to run in the near future. And of course there's that neighbor who just happens to be carrying too many shopping bags the first day Brad arrives, at the apartment he'd be staying at, and is having trouble getting her door unlocked. So Mr. Perfect helps her out. They look into each other's eyes and, love at first sight! Rebecca a rather short dark and skinned woman with long royal purple hair and hazel eyes, aka the neighbor lady, invites him inside and there you have it, a friendship blossoms, but of course as soap operas go, friendship turns into romance and botta bing botta boom, Brad and Rebecca go on a romantic date that leads to a one night stand!
And then of course comes that annoying other lady, blond, blue eyed, Daddy's little girl and of course prettier than Rebecca, enters and her name is Serena. Serena has no interest in Brad and just goes on being an annoying bitch towards him, well, until the big secret of his family business and wealth gets revealed, go figure. After Brad's secret is revealed this leads to money hungry Serena on his ass all the time, which then quickly escalates to fifteen thousand different problems for Brad! Which consist of Brad going on a few dates with Serena behind Rebecca's back, a big dramatic fight with Rebecca, a make-up get back together episode for Rebecca and Brad, a then there was a hospital episode after a crazy Serena stages a car crash and fakes injuries for Brad's attention, blahzay, blahzay, and by the time the problems stop it's for Brad, Complicated Love's is scheduled for it's finale episode for first season which leaves dedicated viewers, like Mikoto, waiting in agonizing anticipation to see if Brad choses Rebecca or Serena.
(Tg2012: Okay, I don't watch soap operas at all so from what little info I do know about them, I hope I pieced together a pretty good sappy fake one for this fanfic ;D! But really, blech, soap operas seem like a waste of an hour of television time XC…well at least that's my opinion XD)
Waiting to see what was going to happen next caused Mikoto to become prisoner to her couch, which made her oblivious to the popcorn bags that were dripping butter onto the carpet she had worked so hard to clean. She wasn't even aware that her face mask was getting smudged worse and worse, around the mouth area, each time she would cram a handful of popcorn into her mouth or the fact that it was sticking making the yellows buttery pieces stand out against the mint green paste on her face. She didn't even get up during commercial breaks, unless she ran out of popcorn, were in that case she would race to the kitchen and pop a new bag in record time!
(TG2012: Damn she's hooked! XD)
The tall tan dark haired man with striking green eyes, aka Brad, stood before purple haired and dark skinned Rebecca and the blond, blue eyed, pale skinned Serena, looking torn towards the decisions he was going to have to make. "Both of you are such beautiful women…and after what I've done, I doubt I should be with either of you." He looked from lady to lady and then sighed.
Dramatic music started to creep up in the background as the camera zoomed in on each of the actors faces. Rebecca looked sad and worried, while Serena, as all mean girls did, held up a facade of a sad expression but her eyes twinkling with an unknown motive.
"And you know that I'd love to be with both of you, but since I can only choose one you wonderful ladies…"
"Come on, come, on, Brad say Rebecca! It has to be Rebecca!" Mikoto chanted to herself as she freed one hand from the popcorn bowl to snatch the remote off the table and turned the volume up louder.
"I hope the other doesn't hate me after this, but I'm a man that follows my heart…so I have to-"
"MMMOOOOOMMMM!"
"WWAHHH!" Mikoto screamed as the sudden outburst of the shout and the door slamming open caused her to jump. Her hands flew upward, sending the popcorn bowl into the air before it and it's contents landed right on top of Mikoto's towel wrapped head! She was so startled she didn't even notice that when she had threw the popcorn bowl in the air the remote went with it, and went flying towards the coffee table! There was a loud smashing sound as the remote smacked the coffee table, face down and causing the back to come off, before it and it's batteries fell onto the floor and rolled under the nearby arm chair.
"UNBELIEVABLE FOLKS! A WORLD RECORD HAS JUST BEEN BROKEN BY A FRACTION BY A SECOND!" the TV suddenly broadcasted.
"What?" Mikoto sputtered, that didn't sound like Brad! Throwing the bowl from her head, and swiping the popcorn the best she could away from her eyes, Mikoto looked and went wide eyed as she saw that the TV was now on the sport channel! When the remote hit the coffee table it had switch the channel! "No…no…no, NO! NNNOOOO!" the woman screamed as she dropped on all fours, franticly looking for the remote.
Meanwhile in the foyer came another shout, "MOM! HE DID IT AGAIN!" the voice was drenched in anger and frustration.
A snicker followed after the shout before a much calmer voice said. "I didn't do anything. What happened didn't have anything to do with me, little brother."
"SHUT UP, ITACHI!" the angered voice spat out, as two pairs of dark eyes stared at each other. One pair of onyx orbs was full of anger and spite while the other was displaying mischief and humor. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT AND YOU KNOW IT!"
The older brother only laughed at the younger's comment. "Oh, really this is my fault?" Itachi asked nonchalantly, he smirked before adding. "That's not what Hinata seems to think." He finished his statement by jabbing the younger's forehead with his index and middle finger.
"ITACHI!" Sasuke yelled, as the jab resulted in a stinging pain, a stumble backwards and causing Sasuke to slip and land on the hard floor.
"Wow, you're clumsier than I thought, Sasuke." Itachi commented with a grin, which was then returned with an angry growl from the younger one as he rubbed his sore tailbone. "A growl? Tsk, tsk, little brother, mother's always telling us that growling like that is rude."
"SHUT UP, ITACHI!" Sasuke screamed, his face growing as red as the small mark on his forehead. In response Itachi just laughed again and casually turned and headed towards the living room. That laugh was the last thing the younger Uchiha wanted to hear! "MMMOOOMMM!" he called, getting to his feet, his shoes making a small squeaking sound as he did so, before storming towards the living room after his older brother. Itachi, he was going to get it this time, because not only was Sasuke Uchiha very embarrassed, he was also very livid but more importantly he was very, very wet, and it was Itachi's fault!
"I have no idea what's he's making such a fuss over, mother." Itachi was saying, just as Sasuke, walked in.
The younger sibling was wearing a simple white button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and jeans that were completely soaked through, causing water to drip off his body as if he was a leaky pipe. And with his heavy, drenched clothes sticking to his slightly shorter frame, Sasuke's dark hair remained plastered to his contrasting pale face that bore an angry scowl.
"Like I told you before I left, mother, I was going out to train and I just happened to run into Sasuke and Hinata in the forest." The older one explained, rubbing some dirt from the black shirt and white cargo shorts he always wore when he went to sharpen his already perfect techniques.
"Don't listen him, mom! He's lying!" Sasuke blurted out. "Itachi had this planned out the second he….he…?" the younger Uchiha let his voice trail off as he and his older sibling suddenly noticed that their mother was totally unaware of their presence and their loud bickering.
"Nonononononononono!" Mikoto whimpered as she crawled around the popcorn scattered, butter stained carpet. Her towel falling from her head and letting her long wet locks of raven hair dangle around her face, like a countless amount octopus arms, as she looked under the coffee table and couch.
Not knowing whether to interrupt his mother's strange behavior Sasuke tried again to get her attention. "MOM! Didn't you hear me? Itachi completely embarrassed me in front of Hinata today, and this was the third time this week! Aren't you going to punish him?"
"Why should she? What happened in the forest, excludes me from all forms of punishment since you falling into that pond had nothing to do with me." Itachi coolly stated with a shrug.
"There it is!" Mikoto exclaimed, spotting the remote underneath the armchair. Grabbing it she sat up on her knees and pressed the buttons to get back to her channel, but nothing happened! "No! Not the batteries!" she cried upon seeing that the back and the small cylinders that were required for the remote to work were gone!
"Stop lying Itachi!" Sasuke snapped, glaring at his older brother for a brief second before he looked back at their mother, who was now searching the floor for the remote's batteries. "If you would of just left us alone, I wouldn't have fell into that pond!"
"Yes, but if I had leave you be, I wouldn't have been able to give you that present you bought for Hinata." Itachi retoured, coolly. "And if you didn't have that…well you would have humiliated yourself in front of Hinata either way."
"Well, then…I-I just…uh…ARGH! Shut up Itachi!" was all Sasuke could really say, because as much as he wanted to deny it, he knew his older brother was right.
"Batteries, batteries, batteries," Mikoto muttered to herself as she pressed her face against the floor, not caring that it was ruining her face mask and the staining the carpet a mint green color, as her eyes darted around underneath the furniture. "Oh! There you are!" she exclaimed reaching out her buttery fingers and snatching them from under the same armchair that had hidden the remote from her. Her slippery fingers frantically fumbled as she attempted to fit the two small cylinders into the back of the remote.
"In all honestly, Sasuke, you should be thanking me." Itachi remarked, a smirk tugging at his lips.
"Thanking you?" Sasuke repeated in a tone of disgust as his eyes narrowed in disbelief. "Why would I do that?! It was because of you that Hinata laughed at me!"
"Why wouldn't she laugh? It was hysterical when you fell into the pond!" The older one said without a hint of remorse in his voice, a wide grin on his face.
Sasuke couldn't think his face could turn any redder than it already was, he was infuriated! Not only because his carefully planned 'walked' in the woods with Hinata went terribly wrong, but also because Sasuke couldn't think of anything else he could say to get Itachi in trouble after his older brother had indirectly humiliated him! Again! Tuning to his mother, the younger brother opened his mouth to try and see if he could get his mother to help him out in his argument but his mouth clamped shut in utter confusion.
If Sasuke could describe the sight in one word he would have to go with….disturbing. His mother was sitting on her knees in front of the coffee table, her hair, wet and straggly, dangling in front of her face and sticking to her badly smudged mint green face mask. Along with that, one arm was stiffly outstretched while her buttery hand pointed the remote at the TV, which had ending credits displayed on it.
"This concludes the exciting final episode the first spectacular season of Complicated Love!" the announcer said, before the screen went black.
The brothers heard their mother give a whimper before the remote fell from her limp hand and clattered loudly as it hit the coffee table and turned the TV off at the same time. They then watched as she buried her face in her hands as the whimpering sounds continued. Itachi and Sasuke glanced at each other, putting their disagreement aside for a brief moment, as they stood there not really knowing what to do. The awkwardness of it all hung thickly in the room for a long moment before the younger of the brothers spoke up.
"Um…mom-"
The last syllable hadn't even left his lips before Mikoto's head shot up. "WHAT?!" she bellowed, teeth tightly clenched, nostrils flaring, the instinct to kill glinting in her dark eyes and her face so red it reminded Sasuke of the pretty Hyuuga girl when her face flushed a deep shade of red. The only difference was that…it was scary as hell. "WHAT ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH DO YOU WANT?!" The mother rose to her feet, her appearance of straggly wet hair and angered facial expression gave her the persona of the evil witch.
Both boys took a cautious step back. Neither of them had ever seen their mother this pissed off before! And this was considering her beyond livid reaction a few weeks ago when one of their frequent brotherly competitions had ended when a Fireball justu caused her favorite bed of flowers and one of the cherry blossom trees to go up in flames!
Being the younger one, Sasuke turned his gaze to his older brother and gave a quick hand gesture, giving him the right away to attempt to subdue their angered the mother. And even though they both knew that Itachi dominated his younger brother in social situations, he knew by the enraged look on their mother's face that even if he tried anything, Mikoto's sharp tongue would mercilessly shoot both of them down.
"What are you waiting for?" Mikoto asked, the volume in her voice gone but her tone sounding slightly ominous. "Say something already!" Her left eye twitched, a gene that ran in the family, indicating that her fuse was short.
Despite the rage that could practically be seen spewing from his mother, Sasuke knew he had to get his side of the argument in first if he wanted even a fighting chance to show that his perfect day with Hinata, his friend and secret crush of eight years, was ruined by his older brother. "Mom you have understand that-"
"Understand?" Mikoto repeated, the twitch now convulsing her left eye and cheek. "UNDERSTAND?!" She bellowed, rage exploding in her voice. "ALL I UNDERSTAND IS THAT I HAD TO MISS THE HIGHLIGHT OF LAST EPISODE OF COMPLICATED LOVE, BECAUSE OF MY SONS' PETTY ARGUMENT!"
"Well I really won't call it petty, mother," Itachi calmly said, despite the low growl emitted from the enraged woman. "It was Sasuke who blew it out of proportion-"
"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!" Mikoto shouted, her fingers closing around the arm of the couch in such a tight grip her fingernails tore through a thin layer of it's material. Her enraged gazed then turned to Sasuke and it was then she noticed that he was dripping wet. "WHY ARE YOU ALL WET?! YOU'RE RUINING THE CARPET!" It was true the water from his wet self was causing a puddle to pool at Sasuke's feet, soaking the carpet. "GO UPSTAIRS AND GET CLEANED UP!"
"But, Mom you haven't even heard-" Sasuke started in attempt to take another stab at proving his point, but the red color flooding his mother's eyes and the spinning black spindles forming the Sharingan in her eyes told him to go while he still had all his limbs. "Yes, ma'am." He managed and turned towards the stairs. Despite the extra weight his wet clothes brought, the younger Uchiha never ran up the stairs faster in all his life.
"AND YOU!" Mikoto continued turning her head, smeared mint green face mask, mangled hair and all, to look at Itachi. "CLEAN UP THIS MESS IN THE LIVING ROOM!" Itachi opened his mouth in protest, but was stopped from even making a sound. "NOW!"
And with that the mother left the living room fuming with rage as she grumbled something about why she wanted girls under breath, her Sharingan still present in her eyes.
"Well looks like it's that time of the month again for mom," Itachi said to himself as he picked up the discarded pillows and popcorn bags on the floor while making a mental note to be on his best behavior for the rest of the week.
