CHAPTER TEN
Solution
The spring break has already ended. A week had passed. Tobirama would pick up Izuna from school and the little Uchiha would study. He was still an excellent student. The only thing that has changed was his communication with classmates. He used to be the most easy-going person but right now Izuna was too scared to do anything. And in paticular, thats how his days had been going.
The last month of schooldays had came. Final exams were awaiting each student. Izuna didn't have enough books to do his studies so he had to visit the library. But first the Uchiha had to ask a permission from his boyfriend.
"Tobi.. My final exams are the following week. I need to borrow some books from the library, but it would be better if I spend some time after the lessons there."
"Is it necessary?"Tobirama was relaxing on the couch.
"I want to receive a good grade, that's why i would like to stay up there."
"How much time would you need?"
"2 hours would be nice." Izuna said hoping the Senju would accept the idea.
"That's too much. No."Tobirama refused.
Izuna didn't say anything back. He just walked to his room.
Damn it. Damn it. Why does he have to act like that? I agreed being part of that stupid game just because of my brother. I dont know even if they are together with Hashirama anymore. I haven't heard my nii-san from month. I haven't contacted Mito as well. What if she had forgotten about me? I miss Madara so much. Tomorrow I will find a way to contact him ,no matter what!
Tobirama's phone rang. It was Izuna's teacher.
"Yes?" said Tobirama.
"Is it Izuna?"
"No, it is his boyfriend."
"Can i talk with Izuna , please?" the guy was his teacher and the albino couldn't do anything much but just to give the phone to Izuna. Tobirama walked in his room without warning. Izuna was reading some book. Tobirama gave him the phone.
"It's your teacher." said Tobirama. The little Uchiha didn't know why he would phone him.
"Izuna, some woman wants to see you. She couldn't find a way to contact you that's why she came to school. She is stanging right beside me. Do you want to hear her?"
"Yes please."Izunas heart was pumping fast. Tobirama was in front of him waiting for the phone call to end and find out why sempai would call him. Izuna had to watch out what he talked.
"Izuna, are you alright? Can you come and meet me at school?" Mito was worrying for the little boy since he hadn't phoned her from their last meeting.
"Okay. I will try to come sempai."Izuna tried to act calm.
"Is Tobirama near you?"
"Yes."
"Okay. I will wait you. If you can come now it would be great. Be careful. Bye!"
"Okay. Thanks for calling me. Goodbye." and Izuna cancelled.
"So?" Tobirama was curious. "Why you look like that?"
"Tobi.. I have won the Chemistry competition! The teacher wants to meet me in order to talk for the next round. Can you please give me a lift?"Izuna really hoped his plan to work out.
"When have you attented a Chemsitry competition? I don't remember one."
"It was during my lessons. The teacher had to dismiss me for a day. I am sorry i haven't told you."Izuna's heart had been beating really fast. His lies were going way too far. If only Tobirama had found out..
"Fine. But I will wait you. I am giving you a lift only for a hour. Lie to your teacher we have some bussines to do."
Izuna noddd with a bright smile.
"Thank you sir. I own you a faveour."
"No problem. How could I not help to a such beautiful lady"
Mito giggled. "I will be waiting him in the classroom." The guy smiled and went in his office.
Izuna and Tobirama had already arrived. The Uchiha got out of the car. Tobirama too. Izuna watched him with questioned look.
"I will come too."
"It won't take long. You can stay here. I promise. Plus that I am sure that you will get bored of the topic."
Tobirama was suspicious at first but after what Izuna had said he nodded and waited him back in the car. Izuna went inside the school and as soon as he walked inside he started running towards the teacher's office. His heart was wild again. Izuna knocked and opened toe door.
"Excuse me, where is the lady?"
"Oh, Hey Izuna. She is waiting you in the classroom."
"Thanks!" said Izuna.
The red-haired woman was holding the register book looking at Izuna's marks. Even all that pressure he was an excellent student. She smiled. As she was lost in her thoughts, someone entered the room.
"Izuna!" and they both hugged.
"I was wondering if you had forgotten me but then you called and I was so happy-" Izuna was talking fast, happly with teary eyes.
"Calm down." Mito giggled. "Come, lets sit on some desk to talk for a little bit." Izuna nodded.
"So, how are you? Is everything alright? Has Tobirama done anything to you?" the Uzumaki asked with fear in her eyes.
"No, no. Everything is fine. He treats me really good after the spring break has ended. He found new work and most of the time he is being busy. I am B plan. The only thin is... "
"Yes?" Mito asked with questioned eyes.
"I haven't heard my big brother from so long and I really miss him. I don't know how is he doing." Izuna was watching the floor with sad face.
"Hey, do you want me to call him? " Mito suggested.
"Can we?" Izuna's face got brightened.
"Yes. I have contacted him and memorized the number."
"Cool!"
;;;;;;;;;;
"Yes?"
"Nii-san!" Izuna almost screamed.
"Izuna! Where did you get lost?!"
"I told you my phone broke and we have not bought new one because we are just too busy to go shopping. But forget about me. How are you?!"
"Ah, I am fine." said Madara without any enthusiasm.
"You don't seem happy. Has something happened?"
"I broke with Hashirama long time ago but he just wouldn't accept it. He continues contacting me. It is really irritating." Madara said with annoyed voice.
"You really don't love him anymore or you're just lying to yourself?" Izuna was trying to find out the truth.
"No, I am serious otouto. It's over. For those 2 months my feelings had gone away. To be told the truth I even feel better. All the stress from that relationship would make me sick, I feel relieved."
"So you're totally alright?" Izuna was surprised in a good way. If their relationship has ended it means his promise Tobirama has gone as well and he hadn't to obey him anymore.
"Yea, I am absolutely alright."
"I am really happy for you" and for myself.
"When can we meet?" Madara was happy once for a while.
"I don't know .. but .. I will try a way to contact you again."
"Tobi's phone?"
"He's all day busy with working. We can bearly have time together." Izuna lied. How could he tell him the truth? That Tobirama had forbidden him to contact anyone.
"Then from whose phone are you calling me?"
"A friend's one" Izuna looked Mito. She was smiling all the time. Her emerald eyes were shining from happiness.
"Brother, I will cancel you because i have some work to do. okay?"
"You always find some excuses to end up the call. I feel like i am irritating you."
"Oh, if you only knew the truth. Haha. No silly, we will keep in touch, okay?"
"Yeah.. bye."
;;;;
"Why are you willing to help me so much?"
"I have had that bad experience myself. And you are good boy. You're a little genius. I can't let that happend."
"Was it Tobirama?"
"No." she laughed. "To be told the truth, he was actually the one who saved me. At first it wouldn't have ever crossed my mind that he could be this kind of person. But the day when you moved to your new house he tried to attack me. Thanks god, a good friend of mine came on time."
Wow, she is talking so calm!
"How can you be so calm when you're telling me that story?" Izuna was amazed.
"I have been trought a lot. The pain had built me up a shield. Thats why i want to help you. The situation that you are in is hell."
"I couldn't say it any better." the boy's eyes got teary.
"Don't wan, please!" Mito caught his hand. "I heard you haven't seen your brother. Do you want me to tell your teacher that tomorrow i would like to see you again but instead of me Madara would come?"
"Are you kidding me?" Izuna's face gor brightened and a broad smile appeard.
"Mhm!" Mito smiled back.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Izuna hugged her once again.
"Tell me how your day goes on." the red-haired wanted to know more about him. She wanted to protect him with all she had.
"Well.. it's nothing special. Really..." Izuna was avoidint the theme.
"You can trust me." the Uzumaki had to win his trust.
"I would get up and make breakfast as Tobirama hgts up and eats , i dress up for school. I don't have pretty much time to eat so i would bring some fruit and have it in the breaktime. After i finish school Tobirama comes to pick me up. He leaves me in the morning as well. After he lifts me home he goes back to work. I think he comes in his break time. Since we are located far away from the city I don't have what else to do but study or do chores. I like to study so I don't have problems with that. But sometimes Tobirama invited his friends to come and watch football. They make a real mess. And that is how my day ends. I go back to sleep and when the new day arrives it is not anything different. Just the same." Izuna was talking slow , his voice shaking. The grip of Mito got stronger.
"Then.. do you want... I mean.. I can come and visit you every single day!"
"That would be amazing. Yes, I would like, please. But.. wait.. What are i'm going to lie Tobirama? That's a bad idea." Izuna started to hesitate.
"Just lie him that your teacher needs you and told you to come."
"I told Tobirama that sempai wanted to talk with me for the Chemistry exam that I have attented and won."
Mito giggled. "You seem to be sly one."
"Indeed." Mito laughted as Izuna told that. "Can we call aniki again?"
"Yea."
It passed already 40 mins. If he doesen't come after 20 I will go in. The albino was thinking as he was listening to the radio.
"Alright, he told he would come the same time as you did today."
"I won't come tomorrow because i see i am a treath for him. Yet i don't know why." Mito had seriously no idea why Madara would hate her.
"It's because... Look.. it's like that.. Tobirama hates all Uchiha, but mostly my big-brother because he is boyfriend of his brother- Hashirama Senju. He thinks Hashi loves nii-san more than him. That's why he would make everything to separate them. Since you were his girlfriend and had pletny pics of you, he made a fake one of you and Hashi kissing. It worked out at first but the one night we were alone... and that was the first time when he sexually harrased me. We made a deal that he would leave alone the relationship that our brothers have in order to have me. But since they broke up i don't see a reason why I have to suffer."
Mito's eyes got widen. She couldn't believe what Izuna was telling her. Could Tobirama be such kind of person? Well.. in truth she could have awaited that. Izuna contined talking.
"But... I would like if you come too. I want to meet you with brother and clear the mess."
"Are you sure?" Mito wasn't sure if that was a good idea.
"Yes. And i better be going. We took way too much." Izuna seemed to get pale.
"Don't be scared. You know you can count on me. Just be careful. Watch out your next step and take care of yourself. Eat healthy and sleep well. Do you promise me?"
"I promise." and Izuna smiled. He felt warm. His body fulffiled with happiness. That green-eyes beauty was the mother he had never had. Even if they weren't sinblings, she cared for him so much.
"You'd better go." Mito said softly with a small smile. "Oh, and you should smile more. Your smile is stunning." Izuna blushed.
Tobirama saw Izuna coming out from the school gates.
"It took you a lot of time." he was smoking a cigaratte.
"We had to discuss a lot."
"Like what? If you're lying me..."
"No, no. The teacher wants me to go everyday at that time because we have to prepare for the next round." Izuna was braver than ever. He knew Mito was his strenght and that if something ever got wrong, she would help him.
"Get in the car, we will talk on our way back home." Izuna got in the car without any hesitation.
On the way back home both of them didn't say a word. That was typical situation tho. Izuna would find it awkward but not and Tobirama. Since he moved to a new job he was busy all day and didn't have time to torutre Izuna. He would just pick him up, have lunch and get some rest, then go back at work until night.
Suddenly Tobirama hit the car and cursed.
"Fine. You cango. Plus that my boss wants me to work extra time."
Izuna secretly smiled.
"Thanks."
"Hm?" Tobirama was confused.
"For letting me go."
