Hey guys! Did you miss me? Well more like the story. I actually started this story because of a story called Betrothed which was discontinued. I have received permission to use parts of the story however so do not think I am a story stealer. The first two chapter are all me and this one might be the only one I incorporate into my story. Enjoy!
Chapter 3: Late Night Visit!
Mikoto was a firm believer in etiquette, and with becoming an Uchiha soon she had to be. So when someone came pounding on her door at three in the morning according to her bedside clock, she was not happy. She imagined her parents would be even less pleased. With an agitated sigh she slid out of bed and slipped on a thin summer robe to greet the person who was still pounding on her door.
"Who the hell is that at this hour?" her father asked angrily as he marched down the hall, her mother equally upset, right behind him.
"I'll tend to it father." She said. "Please go to bed, you and mother have a busy day in the morning."
Her father sent another glare to the door before leading his wife back to their bedroom and closing the door. Truth be told, whatever situation lay beyond that door would take less time and less frustration if she handled it. She loved her father very much but he was rather hot-headed, especially with being woken up in the middle of the night like this.
After she saw her parent's bedroom door closed she turned around to answer the door. An impatient looking Hiashi Hyuga stood there looking like he was ready to kick the door in with a clearly annoyed Hizashi Hyuga by his side.
"It's about time." The angered man said. "We need your help; Kushina got herself arrested when she got in a fight with one of the Uchiha on the police force."
There was momentary shock before confusion set in. "Why do you need my help?"
"Because you're an Uchiha and they won't let her out, so we need you to convince them to let her go. They do not care for us Hyuga's."
Mikoto looked at Hiashi shocked, he was right despite her last name she was still an Uchiha from her mother's side. Although she had grown up with her father's last name and his clan's rules. Fugaku came to mind, now that she thought about it she was the only clear choice as Fugaku's bride. She had activated her sharingan even though she hardly uses it. However, the most important fact was that she was a direct descendant of Izuna Uchiha while Fugaku was a direct descendant of Madara Uchiha. Theoretically any children they produced should rise to greatness as the legendary brothers had.
Hizashi took this moment to speak up. "We should just leave her there, maybe then she'll finally learn her lesson and stop picking fights with everyone."
This earned him a glare from Hiashi. "We're teammates; we can't just leave her there." He said before turning back to Mikoto.
"I don't really know what I can do." She said uncertainly. She may have been related to half of the police force but that didn't mean she knew them.
"Well you have to at least come with us and try!" Hizashi argued, and before Mikoto could protest anymore the wild Hyuga grabbed her arm and dragged her out and down the street.
Mikoto didn't have time to try and wrench her arm free as she desperately tried to keep her robe closed, her short, thin robe. It also didn't help that she was barefoot. This was not appropriate attire for someone to go gallivanting off in the middle of the night, especially now that she was betrothed to the Clan's Heir. Her mother and father would be absolutely scandalized if they ever found out.
And then the thought struck her. Fugaku was the Chief of Police.
This was not how she wanted to see him. But as she tried to wrench herself free Hizashi only gripped her arm tighter. She looked over to Hiashi who she was sure would understand her predicament being his clan's heir, but he wouldn't look her way. "Hizashi, please," She begged. "I need to change if I'm to be in public."
"Don't worry you look fine." He said dismissively. Clearly there was no getting away from him, maybe he was acting like he this because Hyuga's and Uchiha's were secret rivals.
Her sense of looming doom increased as the Police Station came into sight. At this point she could only hope that Fugaku had gone home for the night and wouldn't see her so undressed. She thought it might be too ridiculous to hope that tonight's antics wouldn't reach the Clan Elders and worse, her parents.
Giving her robe one last tug to make sure it was covering all the important parts, she was dragged in through the front doors of the Police Headquarters. All movement in the room stopped when Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga burst through the doors with a half dressed, blushing Uchiha behind them. The men ignored them all and marched right up the man behind the front desk. Mikoto recognized him as Tekka Uchiha; he was just a year older than her and used to pull her hair when they were children.
"Mikoto?" He asked with raised eyebrows.
She self-consciously adjusted her robe again as Hizashi pushed her to stand in front of the desk. "Look I brought an Uchiha, now you have to let Kushina go."
Tekka sighed and rubbed his temples. "Look, I told you before, that's not how it works. She committed a crime and now she has to stay in lock up for the next two days." He explained.
Hizashi looked ready to start a fight himself when Mikoto decided to intervene.
"What crime did she commit?" she asked.
Tekka turned his head to look at her. "Don't tell me your friends with that Uzumaki chick." He said with a frown.
Mikoto lifted her chin. "I am. Now what are her crimes?"
"She got in a physical altercation with Yakumi, one of our new recruits." He said before turning back to Hizashi and Hiashi. "Which is illegal."
"He started it by slapping her on the ass." Hiashi said calmly.
"That doesn't give her the right to punch him!" Tekka argued back, standing up from his chair.
"Actually," Mikoto began. "He assaulted her which gives her every right to defend herself."
Tekka sent her a glare. "Fine." He said. "Just keep her the hell away from here." And with that said he stomped out of the room with the cell keys in hand.
"See I told you they would let her out if you came." Hiashi said while Hizashi gave a nod of agreement.
"You still could have let me get dressed, Hizashi." She said, tugging at the hem of her robe.
Hizashi and Hiashi just ignored the girl.
Kushina's angry voice could be heard before she could be seen. "And you tell him that if I ever see him again he's going to get it, ya know!"
Tekka was the first to enter the room with a dark scowl on his face with Kushina right behind him looking triumphant. "Yeah, I know." He snapped. "Just get her out of her Mikoto."
Kushina's eyes lit up upon seeing Mikoto and the twins and she ran over to them, bumping into Tekka in the process. "Come on let's get the hell out of here!"
As Tekka sat back down Mikoto turned to him. "Perhaps you ought to teach your new recruits on proper etiquette when they put on the Police Force Uniform as it does hold the Uchiha crest." And with that said she turned on her heel to join her friends.
Mikoto said good bye to her friends and made her way back to her home. She was really regretting not pulling herself free earlier to change as the early mornings had started to become very cool. She wrapped her arms around herself but that did little to block out the cold. Her bare feet weren't faring much better on the cold dirt road. She vowed that from that point on whenever someone came to her home in the middle of the night she would let her father handle it.
On the bright side however Fugaku hadn't seen her in her nightwear.

Fugaku was in a foul mood. He had just gotten home when he remembered that he hadn't released that annoying Uzumaki girl from the holding cell. Admittedly one of his officers had started the conflict and he hadn't found out about the incident until after she was in lockup, but he really just couldn't bring himself to release her immediately. So he had completely forgotten about her and gone home after he had finished his paperwork.
He was about halfway there when he saw a young woman walking toward him in nothing but her nightgown and robe. Upon closed inspection he could see the Uchiha Crest stitched on her breast. What kind of self-respecting Uchiha was out and about in the middle of the night dressed like that? As future Head of the Clan he intended on finding out.
"What do you think you're doing out at this time of night in your robe?" He demanded as she moved closer.
She looked absolutely startled and a light blushed formed on her cheeks contrasting pleasantly with her dark eyes and hair. "Fugaku, I-I hadn't intended to leave the house like this." She said averting her eyes from him and tugging her robe closer around herself.
"Mikoto." He was surprised to find that it was his future wife barely dressed outside. She was wearing the silk robe he had gotten made for her. However, he had to ask, "Then what made an Elite Uchiha do so?" He was determined to get to the bottom of this despite her embarrassment.
She looked around and tugged the hem of her robe down. "Some friends dragged me to the Police Headquarters to help get another Kushina released. The twins seemed to think that I, being somewhat an Uchiha, would help her case."
Fugaku raised an eyebrow. "Who are these friend who dragged you out in the middle of the night?" He had a bad feeling that he knew exactly who it was.
"Hiashi and Hizashi Hyuga."
Fugaku pressed his lips together annoyed at the names Mikoto had spoken. He then touched her face, "You're cold I'll carry you home; you shouldn't be out at this time of night alone."
Mikoto's blush deepened but she nodded as Fugaku scooped her up in a bridal position, the two walked back to her home.
Once there he put her down and warned her not to let it happen again and to rethink her friendship with the Hyuga's, "I shouldn't have to tell you any of this, it seems to me that you are really stupid."
Mikoto balled up her fist in anger, "I was actually enjoying your company, why did you have to mess it up?"
Fugaku grabbed a hold of Mikoto and threw her into his arms. It was warm and he smelt really good, she couldn't help but blush at the simple embrace, "Fu- Fugaku?"
"You don't get it stupid, it became my job to protect you when we became engaged. There are people who want you dead, so stop wandering around at night."
Mikoto hugged him back tightly and she didn't want to let him go. When she had to however she bravely gave him a kiss on the cheek before she thanked him and bid him a good night. She closed the door to her house. Her gaze fell on the white lilies Fugaku had brought to her the day before. She bit her lip before she locked the door and went back to her bedroom returning to her slumber.
On his way back to his own home he touched his cheek where Mikoto's lips had been. He smiled at his future bride, while she had embarrassed the clan by walking around in her nightdress, she was also quite beautiful.
