CHAPTER NINE

Izuna meets Mito

Another day has came. The morning was bright and beautiful. A perfect moment for Mito to do her "mission".

It was around 10 o'clock. Uzumaki grabbed her phone and called the number she had noted down last night.

;;;;;;;; there was no asnwer, but she was too stubborn to try only once.

;;;;;;;; again no asnwer. She thought a third time would be for luck.

;;;;


;;;;

Damn it, Izuna's phone won't stop ringing. Tobirama thought as he grabbed it. The number was unknow for the mobile cell but not and for Tobirama. He answered.

"Yes?" Tobirama acted dumb.

"Izuna Uchiha?"

"No, you have a mistake."

"Oh, I am sorry." and the call ended.

That really was Tobirama! So he really is with that boy! I must call Hashirama Senju.


Hashirama had been already awake and thought that visiting the local hotels asking for Madara Uchiha would be a good idea. He got out and started to search. On the first three ones, he didn't have any luck. The last one was named "Aqua" and the Senju hoped that Madara would be there.


The Uchiha was rolling over the bed lazily. It was quite a big one and the sheets smelled nice. Madara remembered how he and his lover would cuddle until lunch time. Then Izuna popped in his mind. He smiled instantly. Madara missed a lot his litte ototo. It was weird why he wouldn't pick up his phone since he got never apart from it. "Anyways, I shall get up and go to lunch, I already missed breakfast. Damn, I am starving." As soon as he was done with putting his clothes he left the hotel room and walked down the stairs, heading to the canteen.


"He's not even in that one! The last possibility is the nearest city. He should have taken the metro. But in Uzushikagure the hotels are atleast 20. It would take ages to find him."Hashirama cursed under his breath. No soon he felt his phone vibrating in his pocked. He picked it up withouth looking who it was.

"Yes?"

"Hello" a similar woman voice came out.

"Is it you woman?!

"Please, don't cancel!"

"Look, you have caused me enough trouble, PlEASE DON'T CONTACT ME AGAIN." Hashirama ended the call.

"Ugh!"Mito cursed under her breath."Why is it so hard? Anyways, I am in lack of milk. I should go and buy some. A butter would be good too. I'd better leave that drama for a while and re-think my next step."


After ending the call Tobirama freed Izuna. He threw him a bottle of water. The little Uchiha couldn't help but drink it fast that he nearly chocked. Izuna had rings under his eyes, due to insomnia. Tobirama raised his hand to take the bottle but Izuna backed up. He was scared of the albino.

"I won't beat you or anything."Tobirama laguhed. "Wash yourself. We are going for a walk."

Izuna didn't bother to ask, he just obeyed.

As Tobi was driving to the city, Izuna didn't say a word. He remained quiet. Neither Tobirama said something. When they got in the city, the car stopped in from of some big market. It was uni shop. The Senju gave Izuna some dollars.

"Doesen't your spring break end soon? If you need any materials go buy some. You have also to buy some cleaning products and towels. Understand?"

Izuna nodded. When the black-haired man got in he couldn't oriantate so he needed some help from the workers. Since he loved Chemistry so much, he needed new test tube for his epxeriments at schoool, that's why it was the first place to go to. As he was choosing he bumped into someone.

"I am so sorry!"Izuna apologised alsmost crying in fear.

"Hey, it's fine." it was a woman.

Izuna lifted his head to see her. It was Tobirama's ex girlfriend. She was watching him shocked. Was that Izuna Uchiha? But his hair was shoerted, unlikely in the pictures. He had rings under his eyes. Lack of sleep? Mito's mind was running wild. Without any words Izuna tried to escape.

It must have been Izuna, he is a Chemistry champion!

And the Uzumaki started searching for him. It didn't took her quite a long time to find him. When Mito approached him she put her arm on his right shoulder. The Uchiha jumped in surprise and turned to see who was it. I thought it was Tobirama... I almost passed out.

"Are you.. Izuna Uchiha? The boy that helped me to go home?" Mito nearly cried. She saw in him herself. The old Mito that she used to be years ago. That boy had a lot of potential but life had crushed him. He looked so depressed. Has he ever thought of suicide? Mioto was freaking out. She couldn't let that happend with someone else. No one had the right to be hurted like that.

"Yes..?" Izuna said weakly.

When the red-haired beauty heared that she hugged him tightly. He was a big taller than her, around 2 or 3 cm. Izuna didn't know what was happening.

"Oh boy... oh boy... I know what you're going through. I was searching for you , but you always slipped trought my fingers."Mito was talking through whimps.

"What are you talking about?"

Mito let him go and caught Izuna with both of her arms, looking directly into his eyes.

"Don't lie to me! I know Tobirama is sexually harassing you. He might even kill you! Please, tell me the truth. I want to help you. I have already warned his big brother Hashirama Senju but he wouldn't listen."

Izuna panicked. That woman did what?! If only Tobirama finds out...

"Please, don't interfere. You will make it worse!"Izuna couldn't hold his tears and started crying. Mito's heart broke. She handed him a small piece of paper.

"That's my mobile phone, please contact me if it gets worse. I will help you anytime. Okay?"

"... Okay." Izuna said quietly as he took the note with his shaking arms."

"You'd better go. He's impatient."Mito smiled softly, trying to make him calm. "It's the faveour you did to me that night, that i am giving you back."

"T-thanks."Izuna left as he whipped away his tears and continued his shopping.

When he was done Tobirama was waiting him in the car looking at some chicks walking. They were laughting, kinda nousy. Izuna wondered why couldn't he live a normal life. When he entered the car Tobirama asked:

"What took you so long?"Izuna had to make up a lie fast.

"I couldn't decide wich test tube to choose. The variaty was big."

Tobirama didn't say anything after that sentance he just sarted to drive. On the way back home Izuna was lost in his thoughts. Tobirama's ex-gf had the same experience? It sounded so. Has Tobirama done the same thing to her as well? That send chills trought his spine. It could have been someone else tho. But the most troublesome was that Hashirama knew about the whole situation. Has he believed her? Why his brother had called him so many times? They already knew? No, no way! If it was so, Tobirama and Hashirama would have met by now. Something elese was happening, but what exactly? Izuna hoped his aniki was alright.

"Why are you so quiet? It's almost like heaven not hearing your voice."Tobirama said. Izuna didn't answer. He looked away because talking really had put him just in more danger. So he decided avoiding it.

"When your shool starts, I will leave you and pick you up. You won't have mobile phone. If you need to call someone you will use mine. But only when it's really neseccary. Got it?"Tobirama said those words in one breath, without stopping. It was almost like a warning.

Izuna nodded.

"Do you have any friends there?"

The Little Uchiha shaked his head in protest.

"Good, because even if you had any, they won't last. You're not allowed to contact with anyone. Understand?"

"Yes!" said Izuna as his eyes got teary.

"Good."

- everything became silent until Tobirama spoke again.

"Oh, and we should contact your brother. He had been rapidly calling you. You don't want him to get worried, do you?"

"No!" Izuna almost screamed as he was trying to hold his tears back.

"You have become wiser." Tobirama smirked.


After being done with the lunch Madara went back in his hotel room. Just as he opened the door his phone rang. At first he thought it might be Hashirama and decided to neglect it but suddenly he remembered his ototo. He got his phone and it was really Izuna! Madara answered without any hesitaton.

"Izuna! Where have you been?"

"Hey..."Izuna spoke softly.

"How are you?"

"I am fine. The new place is great. I love it." Izuna lied. "and you.. what's going on with you?"

"Well.. I am going to leave Hashirama once for real!"Madara said sadly.

"Why?"Izuna was surprised. He knew how much his brother loved the Senju.

"Long story.. It is just that I am tired of his game and my trust towards him has gone."

"Was that woman again...?" Izuna asked in fear hoping he was wrong.

"Yes.. someone had called him and made an appoinment. I went with him. It turned out to be the red-haired. She wanted to talk about you guys. Is everything alright there?"

"Yes."Izuna's voice had started to tremble.

"Are you ok?"

"Yes nii-san, I am." and Izuna started to cry."It's just.. it's just that i miss you a lot.." yes, he did miss his big brother but he was crying mostly because Tobirama was standing near him, and Izuna couldn't tell his big bro what has been happening to him over those weeks.

"I miss you too! When can we meet?"Madara was enthusiasted.

"Aniki.. school starts soon and I wont be able to stay in touch with you. I won't use my phone. If you want to contact me call Tobi."Izuna could bearly talk from his whimps.

"Why?"

"My.. my pone broke. I have to buy new one."

"Oh.. ok."

"By the way.."Izuna stopped his sentance because Tobirama was staring at him. Izuna wanted to ask for the red-haired woman. Thank god the albino couldn't hear Madara trhought the phone cell.. if he did.. and found out about Mito.. things would have turned bad for everyone...

"Yes?" asked Madara.

".. where are you staying for the nights if you're not in Hashirama's house?"

"In a hotel room but I will-" the talk took too long and the Senju gave Izuna a sign to stop it.

"Nii-san, i have to cancell. Tobi is calling me to help him with the chores."

"Sure. I love you ,remember that. I wish you all the happines. Bye. I am kissing you."

"Bye." and the call ended.

Izuna just sobbed as Tobirama grinned.
