Hope you like this chapter, it´s a little bit funny...
The day Mito Uzumaki got to the Senju territory was sunny, in contrast of her attitude. She felt like a prisoner sentenced to death. Why did this Hashirama appeared? She wanted to love, not some arranged wedding! And she was just a teen herself! When she met the man… then the redhead saw someone waiting for her in the entrance of the camp, was that her future husband? But… he was just as young as her! Was he being forced into this by his parents too?
"Welcome, Mito-sama, I´m Kawarama Senju. I apologize in the name of my older brother, for some… problems he couldn´t be present here today" said the teen in an educated way, bowing down to her like a true gentlemen.
"What kind of trouble?" asked her a little bit disappointed. For some reason she thought that young man was perfect for her.
"It´s not something you will like to know" he answered, remembering what happened earlier.
-Flashback-
"I don´t wanna go!" screamed Hashirama at the top of his lungs, tying himself to the bed with a Mokuton. His brothers stared in disbelief at the adult powerful shinobi that was currently throwing a tantrum like a little kid.
"Oh, come on, Hashirama" said a very annoyed albino. "Stop making yourself look more stupid than you already do and come to re meet Mito"
"I don´t want! I want that Devil as far away from me as I could!" screamed the God of Shinobi, still throwing a tantrum. Kawarama and Tobirama then joined forces and tried to drag him out of bed, but the idiot resisted and kept screaming. Soon the door burst open and in the frama stood Itama, smiling in a very creepy way.
"Leave our brother alone or I will make you know what hell is like" said the bicolor haired man, making a chill run down his sibling´s spines.
"Be… Better you go to meet her and make an excuse for Hashirama not being there" stated the second and the third could not do anything but agree. Itama, despite being a crybaby and sometimes a weakling, could be very veeeeeeeeeeeeery scary when provoked. They learned that when ruined his tenth birthday in their parent´s absence.
"Yeah, I will get going then"
-End of flashback-
"I still would like to know, he is my fiancée after all" said the princess with her almighty voice. Her companion looked at her and sighed.
"I told you, it isn´t something of your concern"
"And I tell you again, I want to know" she said, frowning in very non princess way. "And we are not moving from this spot until you have told me his reasons" now I know why Hashirama don´t want anything to do with her, she is scary when mad thought the third brother and proceed to spill the truth to the woman.
"He didn´t want to meet you" he sincerely answered. Mito was surprised, all the trip believing that Hashirama Senju was some kind of pervert who likes nearly adolescent girls and now…
"Why doesn´t he want to meet me?" asked her, a little concerned. Maybe the oldest Senju brother was being forces too to marry her and now she could have an ally to stop the craziness that the wedding was.
"Because he thinks you are some kind of monster that will rip his head off or something like that" now that was an insult. Mito was getting ready to face the man and show him exactly what she was capable of doing when the other part of the answer was heard. "And he is in love someone else, someone… inadequate for him"
"Then… Butsuma-sama asked for my hand in marriage only because of that?" she was astonished. What could be inadequate in love? It was a beautiful feeling… not that she experienced that before, but wanted to.
"I fact, it was Tobirama-aniya´s idea. He was the one who convinced our father that it was better to ask for a suitable bride for our brother than leav the decision to him"
"What an insensitive thing to do" she answered mad. Now her fury was not towards Hashirama, in fact, she comprehended and pitied him, but that albino bastard was going to suffer! It wasn´t a good idea to force to people to marry and be unhappy for the rest of their lives only for social protocol. "Who was the girl?"
"Humm… how to tell you? Well… to begin with, it wasn´t a girl the one he chose, it was a guy. And he was an Uchiha"
"So prejudges are more important to all you family than the happiness of one of their members! I just can´t believe that you call yourselves the clan of Love" now the Uzumaki princess was very angry and at the verge of going back to her country. She didn´t want to private someone of the chance to be with his love.
"It´s not like…" tried Kawarama to argue, but immediately shut up, because it was exactly what it was. He instantly felt a little bit guilty, maybe Hashirama had the reason in this one. He immediately banished that thought from his mind. His older brother was an idiot and didn´t know what the hell he was doing. He just was making excuses for not marrying Mito.
"Mito-hime, you as a daughter of the revered Uzumaki clan should know the importance of the social protocol…"
"Social protocol my ass" said a very angry red head. In those few minutes she changed her mind, she didn´t like Kawarama at all. And for all she was told, Hashirama seemed to be a good person that was trapped in the same situation as her. "I´m out of here" like she said, protocol and etiquette be dammed. She was not marrying that poor man.
"Wait, Mito-hime" tried to reason with her the third brother. "A least stay some time with us. I can show you the village… if you like"
"Sure, why not" they went together to the place. She was not sure herself as to why she accepted, it was like her mouth moved on it´s own, but something was clear: the redhead wanted to spend more time with the Senju.
-In the house-
"Do I have to?" asked Hashirama, a little bit unsure. The idea his brother just gave him was romantic, but… how will Madara react to that? The Uchiha was not someone to be conquered by romantic stuff to begin with.
"Just do it, what do you have to lose?" answered Itama, giving him the thumbs up. His plan would help his beloved ani-san to conquer the wild raven. Now the only thing he had to do was to get rid of Mito for good.
"Okay, then… see you later" the brunette went off. Then the smile in the bicolored teen´s face turned into an expression full of decision and went outside to look for his brother and the harpy. He was not stopping until she was out of their lives.
-In the Uchiha clan-
Madara was reading a book quietly while lying on his bed. He sighed for the eleventh time in that minute and noticed that he haven´t read another word… again. How many time was he trying to read that book? More than he would like to admit. The raven shinobi was actually thinking about his father´s words, trying to put his mind to rest. No he wasn´t in love with the idiot… or was he? Sure he noticed that the man have a pretty smile and beautiful eyes… No! he shouldn´t be thinking like that! This way he was going to lose the bet!
"Enough with this" said the Uchiha exasperated and closed the book. He got out of bed, ready to call Izuna (who was so happy that shine that day). Maybe his little brother was up to a training and will help him practice.
Clock
"What the hell?" he got to his window in time to see the plants acting strange. Someone had purposely threw a stone to his window to catch his attention. And there was no plants near his window to begin with. He instantly got into combat position, this have to be one of Hashirama´s Mokuton techniques.
"I´m not here to fight, Madara" said the brunette, seeing everything from his hiding spot. He put a little more chakra in his jutsu to end quickly, so his old friend didn´t raise the alarm in all the camp. Soon the bottoms bloomed into beautiful roses so red that it combined perfectly with the Sharingan that was already activated in Madara´s eyes.
"Ah? What is this?" asked the Uchiha to himself before opening the window and analyzing the plants with his Mangekyo. They were common flowers, the chakra just made them grow. And they smell great, by the way. And… formed the message "I love you". Madara smiled before he touched one of the flowers… before he realized what he was doing. "Oh, shit. Nice try, Hashirama, but some flowers are not going to convince me to marry you" and he closed the window.
"But they did the trick" smiled the Senju after seeing the spectacle in front of him. The Uchiha was already falling for him , now he just have to keep insisting until the man was at his feet. And then… he would have won.
"Madara-nii, is there something wrong?" asked Izuna when his brother got down stairs with a flustered and angry face.
"I thought you fixed the problem"
"I did!" defended himself the younger Uchiha when he noticed the ting of accusation that was in his nii-san´s voice. "That idiot must be now on a date with the Uzumaki princess or something like that"
"Then what is that plant thing doing in my window?" instantly two angry ravens went to Madara´s room. When Izuna saw the flowers he did the first thing in his mind, he burnt them.
"That damn fool… didn´t he gave up after I tal… sendt that anonymous message to Tobirama about his engagement to Mito Uzumaki?" he lied. His brother mustn't know of his deal with the albino bastard or they could fight for real.
"Do you know Hashirama Senju? He is no idiot that will give up so easily!" yelled Madara, not believing that his brother could be so naïve. "And seriously, Izuna, Mito? Didn´t you heard me when I told you the fool was utterly scared of her?"
"I should have missed that part of the history"
"Then the problem is still there"
"Damn" Izuna really had to talk to Tobirama again. The situation was not improving, in fact, with Mito´s appearance it had gone worse.
Hashirama looked at the brothers and sighed, smiling again. When was his beloved Uchiha stop faking and start accepting his feelings? If he was lucky soon. He got out of the camp with the intensions to return home and barricading himself again in his room to avoid the red haired beast of hell.
-In the Senju camp-
Itama was looking for his brother and the princess in all the places he could think of, like his house and the guests house where the woman was going to stay. He sighed, was there another place to take your brother´s unwanted fiancée? He didn´t think so. Then he just strolled down the streets until he found them… talking and smiling, alone. It seems that they got along pretty well.
"Is this really happening?" he asked to himself when saw the two hold each other´s hands without noticing. He raised an eyebrow, could they make his work even easier? He didn´t have much time to lose. Now the two were in the forest… and Itama could make some magic. He used a modified healing jutsu to opened te flowers around them.
"Ahhh, Kawarama-sama, they are so beautiful" said a happy Uzumaki Mito. The young man looked at the flowers that haven´t been there a second ago. He wondered if it was Hashirama´s doing, but discarded the idea. He didn´t want to be in the same house as the princess.
"Yes, they are, and smell good as well" answered him, smiling at the girl that now had a shiny smile. He was starting to think that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen… that could be a problem.
-in the house-
"Where were you?" asked Tobirama to Hashirama when he got home and found his little brother sitting on his bed. "Don´t tell me, you finally decided to re meet Mito"
"What? No, I want that demoness as far away from me as I could" answered the brunette and sat down next to him. "I went to see Madara"
"Goddammit! Why?! After all the problems I had to find you a suitable wife… you are still after him?! And what did you do, you pervert?! Saw him naked in the bathroom again?!" growled an angry albino.
"I´m not black and blue, so no" the older ran a hand through his hair. "I just gave him some flowers… too bad Izuna burned them when he saw them"
"Too bad? It´s a good thing that asshole destroyed the evidence before the psychopath could even see it or you wouldn´t be here now"
"Who said Madara didn´t see my special bouquet?"
"Ah…. Are you still alive or I´m seeing ghosts?"
"Haha, pretty funny, little brother. Don´t worry, I´m okay, but guess what? He smiled! Before he realized what was happening he smiled!"
"Tsch, maybe he did so with blood thirst"
"No! It was a genuine love smile! I wanted so much time to see one like that!" now Hashirama was floating in a bubble while Tobirama wanted to puke. So his brother was starting to get into the bastard´s hearth, eh? Then the things were even worst than he and Izuna have fathom. They have to talk.
"Great" said while getting up and leaving a happy chibi to his own business. In the midtime he would go see how was Kawarama doing entertaining the Uzumaki princess while the oldest get the guts to meet her again.
-in the woods-
"Look, Kawarama-sama! Fireflies!" shouted an excited Mito while her companion searched around them, looking for any sign of Hashirama or Itama. The second was hidden behind a three and laughing quietly. He had seen his brother look at the girl in amazement with a blush on his face… that mean his plan was working! The redhead hold his hand and immediately Kawarama froze. This was so easy…!
"KAWARAMA!" if a certain joykiller haven´t entered his perfect romantic fantasy to ruin it all. Tobirama´s face was a concert of emotions, being the anger the prime one. The nearly teens stopped what they were doing to look at him.
"Tobirama aniya" saluted Kawarama while Mito stayed quiet. That man didn´t deserved her politeness or her welcome.
"Mito-hime, sorry if you were… disturbed by my brother. If you follow me now, I will take you to my house where you can meet your fiancée" said the albino with respect.
"No, I have not desire to meet someone who doesn´t want to meet me" answered her. "And I spent such a great time with Kawarama-sama, let´s repeat it some day" the woman left with an air of arrogance, stumbling in the white haired Senju´s feet when she left.
"Do you have to tell her that?" asked the second brother.
"It was the only way she stayed" answered Kawarama.
