The Uchiha Clan, most notably known for their eyes are at a current dismay. No large political coup or anything of those likes, but a figure head dealing with an outsider. While not unheard of it's not tolerated from upper clansman, especially in the likes of an affair. Which could only mean one thing. How to handle the situation efficiently and quickly?
Killing the man would bring them into a negative connotation. Although, keeping the woman from leaving the compound is their best plan of action. If necessary, she will only leave with stationary guards that report back at the end of their shift. Lastly, they could exile the woman from the clan and not speak of her existence. Essentially, blacklisting the former Uchiha Matriarch.
The elders and he himself would decide what to do with his wife. But, for now they needed definite conformation before they create a plan of action.
"Mikoto, do I make you happy." Fugaku questions his wife, the stern look offering no clear emotions.
" Of course you do. Why do you ask?" Mikoto feigned ignorant in hopes that her husband wouldn't catch on to her secret affair.
" You have been going out more and more for longer periods of time. And don't spend as much time around the household anymore." His voice told her that he had known the truth, but wanted a confirmation.
"You make me happy. You're my husband after all, right?" Walking close to the man, as she attempts to hold his hand.
"That is correct." Fugaku ignores her hand gesture, before turning around to face his wife. Sharingan spinning wildly in irritation and anger.
Mikoto activates her Sharingan in response, " Do you not trust me anymore... Fugaku? Or am I not beautiful enough for you anymore? My figure too worn out from having your children?" Insinuating reverse guilt to push back any suspicions he may have about her affair.
"I don't think you should be mentioning trust when you are having an affair. Wouldn't you agree, Mikoto?" His anger reaching the boiling point and eyes change to the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Her facial reaction is enough of an answer to confirm the evidence brought before them.
" My only question is why? I have given you everything you could have ever wanted. Wealth. Marriage. Nobility. A family... So, why did you do it? Explain that fact to me before I banish you from this household or murder you where you stand." Venomous anger dripping in his words and fist clinch hands shake.
Fugaku was never one to show emotion, but this time rational thinking is out of the window. Unleashing untamed anger at his wife. Gripping her throat and lifting her into the air, " Why!?"
"I ca-" Mikoto's voice is cut off as her airways are closed. His grip tightening as her fist hit his back repeatedly and feet move in erratic motions to break from.
"I loved you Mikoto. And this is how you treat me, the man who has made you. Conniving whore. You will never set foot on this compound again."
"Please... don't hurt me, Fugaku." Mikoto pleas through her shortage of breath.
"I have no pity for people below me, especially a whore."
Slapping Mikoto's face, as tears begin to flow. "W-What did I do to deserve thi-"
His fist connect with her jaw creating a crack as it becomes displaced. "You don't have the right to talk."
"Dropping the woman to the floor as he looms over here. Don't look at me with those eyes. The same eyes you stared at him with with your filthy face."
"I-It was a mistake.." Mikoto shields her face, but only serves to aggravate her husband.
Forcing her hands down and punching her once more. This time aiming to break her nose.
Yelling in pain, Mikoto cries tears mixing with blood and pain racking her nerves.
"I should have never married you. There are other Uchiha women that would have loved your spot, but I granted that luxury to you. And you know what you did? You fucking cheated on me with a lowly commoner!"
Fugaku unleashes a flurry of blows upon her body scarring her face, as she weakly deflects the blows. Each bruising her once beautiful pale skin and graceful face.
"I...loved you." Broken voice slithers from her half alive body.
"I.. hate you." Her abuser bluntly states from his looming shadow.
"Get out and never come back..." Fugaku drags the woman to the door and throws her out. Thunder signals an incoming storm, almost poetic to the woman's silent tears.
Fugaku stares at his wi-, no ex-wife for the final time. Sharingan memorizing their final moments together as he slams the door. Collectively signifying the end of their marriage. A political unrest would be before him soon enough, but he will deal with it when the time comes.
Guards escort the once noble Uchiha Matriarch to the gates. Then, helping Mikoto out as they close the entrance before her. Like an angel falling from the graces of heaven, she is now a demon to her own. A woman that will never be known as nothing more than a whore.
The incoming thunderstorm soothes Avarice. It reminds him of his old friend in Amegakure. He could only wonder what she has been up to after all these years. Nonetheless, he hasn't heard from Mikoto today. She would usually come by with an adorable message or something of the like. It wasn't like her to not come by or anything. Reserving the negativity for himself he puts it aside.
"Quiet day," sipping the dark coffee, " I'll probably sneak Mikoto a visit. Hopefully, she isn't too battered up without me." Chuckling to himself he finishes the coffee and prepares to check on the woman.
Little did he know that his small joke is frighteningly true.
Mikoto managed to make it halfway to Avarice's home, but her conscious is slowly fading. Energy drained from the beating that she endured for the sake of her kids and new lover. She could've fought him back, but he would overwhelm her eventually.
"Avi. I'm coming home to you, and you'll finally get your wish after all." Painfully wheezing in an outward attempt to laugh. When Kushina finds about this there will be hell to pay. More so from her not-so-secret lover, than best-friend.
Transversing through the market place making his daily passage. It was quieter than usual, but the gossip was more interesting than usual.
"Have you heard about the new ramen house?"
"No, but there is some rumors about the Uchiha."
Avarice's face wrinkles in interest at this point.
"Really? What's it about this time? There precious eyes not getting enough attention?"
"Oh, something much better than that. Apparently, the Uchiha Matriarch was having an affair and they got caught."
"An affair. How did they find that out? Hmph."
"Wow. The all perfect family not so perfect now, eh? How did they find out?"
"From what I've heard is that someone was training and went to check out the noise. And found them having sex in an deeper section of the forest. But, who knows exactly about all the details? The point is that its ironic and funny."
"So, someone seen us. I knew we should have done it at my house."
"Yeah, you're right man. Beats me, but the Uchiha woman must be quite unsatisfied for her go that length. I wonder how they'll handle this fuck-up."
"Shit. I have to see Mikoto. Quick."
"Beats me, but lets get some barbecue. My treat."
"Deal."
Running along the rooftops he speeds to her current location. The Uchiha aren't known to be forgiving and there is no telling what they had planned for his noble queen.
Hopefully, he could make it to her before anything happens. God knows what he'll do to them if they laid a finger on her.
Mikoto finally made it to the edge of the forest. Konohagakure in her sight, but body slowly giving up. If she died, was it worth it? Giving up everything for a few days of fun? She wouldn't bother rethinking what is said and done now. Avarice is probably on his way to carry her like a princess and baby her to full health. One man has managed to change her life in so many ways, and she would forever be grateful.
Eyes closing, "Mikoto." Faint voice connecting her consciousness to the current world. "Mikoto." It is Avarice, coming to save the woman of his. He was hopeless, but she has begin to fall in love with the man.
Weight shifting and her head laying against his chest, " A hopeless romantic aren't you?" Gently stroking his face, as he carries her presumably back to his residence and her new home.
He ignored her question and hurriedly made his way back home. To treat her wounds and ease the pain she is feeling both emotionally and mentally.
"I love...you." Were Mikoto's final words as she finally falls unconscious from the wounds and lack of energy.
"I.. love you too.." The sky pours down upon them as he continues the trail back. Anger beseeching him, but Mikoto comes first.
"You will pay, whoever leaked this information out."
