Mikoto's Visit
By: Silverwolf
Itachi steps into Shonen High with his mother at his side. It was time she see how Class 6 was set. Mikoto looks at Itachi, "you sure it's okay for me to see Sasuke?" Itachi hears the nervousness in his mother's voice. "You should see him mother. What are you scared of?" Mikoto voice is barely heard. "That I let Fugaku decide what was best when he was wrong."
Itachi looks at his mother. "What if I told you he's doing better." Mokoto nods lightly. Itachi watches as the staff of Class 6 begins the search for anything could raise problems among their students. "Mikoto looks at Itachi, "is this really necessary?" Itachi nods.
The pair step towards another member of the staff. "Do you want him brought to you in the visitor's room or would you like to go to him?" Itachi looks at his mother briefly. "To him." Sasori nods. He takes the pair through the building. Itachi is surprised to find most of Class 6 and the staff in a hall.
A pair of girls dance their way to the floor and back to standing. Mikoto looks at Itachi. Her son shrugs. Sasori whistles over the music. "Uchiha, your mother's here to visit!"
he points as someone waves. Itachi looks at Sasori, "what's going on?" Sasori shrugs, "a party. They haven't killed each other in awhile." Hidan points, "their fucking reward."
Itachi takes his mother along with him as the pair are guided to where Sasori saw the wave of a hand. Mikoto covers her mouth as she notices the grin on Sasuke's face. Itachi whispers to his mother. "I told you he's doing well. Though not because of the environment." Itachi points to the blonde trying to dance. Mikoto hears Sasuke laugh. Itachi watches as Sasuke pulls Naruto to him lightly. The pair exchange a kiss. Mikoto looks at Itachi, "that's Naruto." Itachi nods. "And what the whole group is reciting is a cadence they march to." Mikoto looks at Itachi. "How did Naruto find him. I mean Fugaku didn't want them together."
Itachi smirks, "a field trip. After that was my doing. Though when father had the problem they were merely twelve and friends. Not like that. Are you angry with me mother?" Mikoto hugs Itachi, "thank you. For doing what I couldn't." Itachi shrugs, "Sasuke needs him." Itachi hears one of the instructors start the cadence again. Class 6 once again repeats it back. Mikoto watches Sasuke laugh as Naruto falls out of step.
The instructor grows bored of the cadence and turns the music back on. Sasuke has an arm around Naruto. The blonde's head lies against Sasuke. Itachi stands reading lips as the pair talks.
Sasuke pulls Naruto along with him towards his brother. "Hello mother." Mikoto looks at Sasuke, "are you all right?" Sasuke shrugs, "I'm fine." Naruto lies his head back against Sasuke. The Uchiha's mother gnaws her lip a bit. "I really want you to come home for the week." Sasuke kisses Naruto's forehead. "I left the list I want followed with Itachi." Mikoto nods, "I can agree to them." Sasuke doesn't look at her, "but father won't." Itachi watches his mother, "you father won't be home. He's angry. You refused his visit." Itachi tries not to laugh. Sasuke shrugs, "I have that right. This place won't force me to see him. I like it. I can tell them I don't want to see him and I don't have to."
Mikoto nods understanding her son's comment. For the first time in Sasuke's life he could refuse to deal with his father. She looks towards the blonde against her son. "My, my, Uzumaki Naruto, you have grown." Naruto offers her a lopsided grin. Mikoto can't help but smile back at as a pair of cobalt eyes are focused on her younger son. Mikoto kisses Sasuke on the forehead. She smiles softly when she hears a small protest. "Go be with your friends." Sasuke rolls his eyes. "I don't have friends. Just people I haven't fought yet and my Naruto." The blonde mewls at the comment.
Mikoto and Itachi watch as hands are raised up. Sasuke and a few others yell their protest to the starting song. Mikoto shakes her head lightly as the blonde recites altered lyrics. Sasuke bursts into laughter as he hears Naruto. "He don't play nice he makes me beg." Itachi shoots the blonde a glare. Sasuke glares at Itachi as Naruto hides against him.
