'Hey Mittens!' It couldnt be. No. Please not him. 'Mittens! Babe, you paying attention?'
'Mitsuki,' a female voice called. 'Me and Minato are getting worried.' No! Please stop this! I can't handle this. It has to be a dream. They are dead and I couldnt sa-
"Mom?' No... Not Kakashi. 'Mom! Something's happening! Mom please help me!'
'Mittens!'
'Mitsuki!'
PLEASE STOP THIS! I COULDN'T SAVE THEM BUT PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY KAKASHI FROM ME! PLEASE...!
'Mama...?'
NO! Not Naruto... Please...
Mitsuki woke up with her mouth open like she was about to scream, but she was about to stop herself when she felt someone next to her in her bed. She shot a quick glance at the figure and smiled. Naruto must have woken up at some point during the night and crawled into her bed. So she tried to get out of her bed, but Naruto's grip on her tightened. She huffed in amusement and decided to pick him up and carried him downstairs. She laid him on the couch very carefully and started breakfast.
Mitsuki was very focused on putting the finishing touches on the breakfast when she felt a hand grab and trug on her skirt. She turned around and saw Naruto using his other hand to wipe the remaining effects of sleep from his eyes.
"Mama?" Her heart skipped and beat when he heard that one word come out of his mouth. She smiled and wrapped him up into his arms.
"Yes, my little fox?"
"I gotta potty," Naruto mumbled and tugged at his pants. Mitsuki's eyes widen and grabbed Naruto so he doesn't wet himself. She ran to the bathroom and breathed a sigh of relief when Naruto was able to hold it in long enough to make it to the bathroom.
"Little fox," Mitsuki sighed. "I got to teach you how to use the bathroom."
"Y-you won't get mad if I have accident...?" Naruto whimpered. Mitsuki frowned and explained to him that she would never get mad at him if it was an accident.
"The l-lady where I used to l-live always get mad at me."
"Well she won't ever get you," she promised. "You're my little fox and I won't let anyone hurt you as long as I live. Understand me?"
Naruto nodded and followed his adoptive mom out of the bathrrom once he was cleaned up. He climbed up onto his special seat that was full of books and waited forbreakfast. Once she put the food onto the table he started to absorb it like a vacuum cleaner and that was amazing since he did the same thing at dinner yesterday as well. Mitsuki was about to eat her food when she heard a knock on her door.
"Mama?"
"Just eat as much as you can and I'll join you in a minute." Naruto nodded and continued abosrbing his food while Mitsuki went to greet that person who decided to interrupt their breakfast. When she opened the door she was greeted with the sight of Itachi Uchiha.
"Hello Lady Mitsuki." She rolled her eyes and told him that he can call her Mi-Mi just like his mom does. "Speaking of my mom... she wants to invite you over for lunch at our house. She said that since you have been in the village for more then a day then you should have been by."
She just laughed and patted Itachi on his shoulder. "Tell her I will but I have to bring Naruto over. Maybe him and Sasuke can play together."
"Well I'll tell her that you'll be there." Mitsuki nodded and waved goodbye to the young genius as he walked back towards the Uchina Compound. She closed the door and went back to the table in order to finish her breakfast.
"Who was that Mama?"
"Itachi. His mom wants us over for lunch, and Sasuke is going to be there." Naruto cheered in excitement and asked her if they could play with their Robot Shinobi. "Only if you behave. Now go and wake up Kakashi. For a Shinobi he does like to be late."
"Kay!" Naruto quickly bolted upstairs and Mistuki giggled when she heard Naruto yell for his adoptive brother to wake up. Then Naruto ran back downstairs with Kakashi quickly following him. The blond ran into the arms of the women who takes care of him and said that Kakashi wass being mean to him.
"He's lying! Mom!" Mitsuki just shook her head in amusemnet and told Kakashi to eat up since she has a quick meeting with the Hokage. So that means that he has to watch Naruto until she comes back.
"So Naruto that means you have to cause havoc!" Naruto cheered as Mitsuki went to get both of them ready. She walked into Naruto's room and picked out some pants and a long sleeve shirt for Naurto.
"Why do I have to wear this?"
"Because it's not warm enough for a t-shirt, but not cold enough for a coat. Also because I told you so." Mitsuki brush the blond's unruley hair and tried to make him look presentable for their guests. He didn't complain too much but she let him play with his new toys, that Guy had bought him yesterday while they were shopping, in order for him to stay still.
"Now go downstairs and bother Kakashi, but try not to make too much of a mess. Oh! And tell him to clean up the mess from breakfast because I said so." Naruto nodded and went downstairs shile she went to get herself ready for her small meeting with the Third Hokage.
"You wanted to speak to me Mitsuki?" Lord Third asked as Mitsuki entered his office.
"Cut the crap. You know what I called you hear for." Hiruzen sighed and took the pipe out of his mouth.
"Mitsuki, you know that I can't just spy ln Danzo without provible cause, and what you told me is that you illegally had his listened to. If I presented that to the council then they would not support this. You probably aren't their favorite person at this point and trust me. This will just give you unnecessary hassle to both you and your family."
She sighed in annoyance. "Then what do you suggest I do then Hiruzen-sensei? We can't just wait until Danzo does something drastic!"
"I know that," Hiruzen snapped. "But at this point my hands are tied and so are yours. So just enjoy time with your family and I'll contact you when I find something of interest."
Mitsuki's mouth clentched in annoyance and she leaned back in her seat. He's right. What can she do without those problematic council members getting in her way. She could have them killed but then their supporters would probably revolt.
"Dammit."
"You sure you don't want to come?" Mitsuki asked as she finished getting her and Naruto ready to see Mikoto and her family.
"Yeah, we both know the Uchiha hate me because of my eye."
"That eye was given to you."
"Yeah," Kakashi muttered. "We both know that the Uchiha think that Obito is a blood traitor for giving me this eye. They thought him soft."
"They I won't make you go, but can you go get some things from the store? I did write them dosn on a list and there is the money that should cover it on the table."
"Have fun and try not to kill Fugaku." Mitsuki snorted and walked with Naruto to the Uchiha Compound while enjoying the brisk autumm air. Naruto was vibrating with excitement because he couldn't wait to play with his new friend.
By the time they made it the the Uchiha Compound, Mitsuki already went over the rules with Naruto when they were over there.
1) Don't touch anything without permission.
2) Don't wander to far from her or Mikoto.
3) Don't talk to people you don't know.
4) Be polite.
Naruto agreed to her rules and stood with her while they waited to be let into the Compound. The guards st the gate were hestitent but let her in after a few moments. While they headed towards Mikoto's house, Mitsuki took Naruto's hand as they walked past the glares of the Uchiha. She glared back and held her head up high. She was able to make it to Mikoto's house without any incident and knocked on her friends door.
The door opened to reveal the last person she wanted to see. Fugaku Uchiha. They glared at each other in distain for what seemed like hours but she looked away when Naruto pulled on her clothes.
"Are we going inside now Mama?"
"I see you decided to adopt that demon brat." Mitsuki walked up and looked Fugaku in the eyes.
"You will NOT refer to my child like that." Fugaku looked like he was about to attack her, but thankfully Mikoto came.
"Fugaku, please be polite to our guests." His wife scoulded. Fugaku huffed in annoyance and went back into the living room. "Please forgive my husband Mitsuki."
"Even the Buddha has his limits." Mitsuki muttered and entered her friends house. She took her shoes off and reminded Naruto to do so as well. Mikoto called Sasuke to come greet their guests. The youngest Uchiha seemed reluctant but once he saw Naruto his mood changed.
"Naruto!"
"Sasuke!"
"Use our inside voices!" Both Mikoto and Mitsuki scoulded at the same time. They looked at each other before giggling. The two boys looked at each other before and shrugged at the grown women's laughter. They hurried up to Sasuke's room to play with their toys while the grown ups talk about grown up things.
"So how were your travels?" Mikoto asked as she finished making lunch and Mitsuki sat at the table in their kitchen.
"Don't get me started on those. I believe that my father kept me busy with those so that I wouldn't find out about the attack that happened on our village." The pans that Mikoto were holding dropped from her hands and landed on the counter with a slight 'tang'. Mikoto's silence worried Mitsuki but she kept pushing. "Mikoto, why didn't you tell me that Kushina was killed in that attack?"
"I couldn't." Mikoto hastily said. "We were to busy trying to rebuild. They forced our clan to the outskirts of town because they blamed us for the attack!"
"Four years Mikoto! I learned about what ahppened to this village four years after the attack!" Mitsuki snapped at her long tome friend. "I understand you had to rebuild, but we sent letters to each other throughout those fours years and not once in your letters did you mention what happened! And if your clan had a problem with moving I could have done something about it, but you are not answering my question. Why did it take me until two days ago to learn about all this?"
The Uchiha matriarch trembled slightly at her friend's question. "Fugaku didn't want you to know... Every letter I wrote he read."
"That bastard..." Mitsuki hissed. "What did I do to him to make him hate me?"
"He blames you for one of his closest friends dying..." Mitsuki looked at Mikoto is shock then tears started to well up in her eyes. He constantly blamed himself for his death but she couldn't do anything since no one believed her at the time.
"You should have tried harder," Fugaku said once he stepped into the kitchen. "You knew how dangerous his killer was, but you did nothing."
"She couldn't. You didn't even believe her. So his death is on all of you, not her. She even went to her father but since his killer was Orochimaru no one believed that he could do something so evil. She knew how evil Orochimaru is, so do not blame my friend on his death."
Fugaku's mouth cletched and he walked out of the kitchen. Mikoto breathed out a sigh of relief and gave her frined something to wipe the tears away with. Mitsuki stayed silent and tensed up when she felt Mikoto hug her.
"I know you. None of their deaths are on you. They are on their killers." Mitsuki nodded solummly and was thankful that Mikoto decided to change the subject. "Itachi should be home soon."
"Is it true that he's already being considered to be an ANBU?" Mikto nodded with pride.
"I know you and Fugaku have your differences, but he really is a nice man."
"Could have fooled me." Mitsuki muttered in annoyance.
"Yeah, but he worries like every father. He believes that Itachi's too soft to be an ANBU member." Mitsuki raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Fugaku says he wants to train him some more, but I worry about them both."
"Mikoto, if Itachi is anythimg like Fugaku... then... I can't believe I am saying this... then you have nothing to worry about. Honestly, I think the only way you or Fugaku wouldn't go down fighting is if it was either of your kids would try to kill you two."
Mikoto laughed and agreed with her long time friend.
