It was pretty late in the evening; Hashirama stared awkwardly at the redheaded woman in front of him who wasn't buying any of his jokes.
"Very funny…?" Mito's response trickled off into a state of confusion, she doubted the credibility of his 'stories', especially the last one about a bunch of Hyuuga's using the Byakugan to spy on woman in the Hot Springs.
"Sooo… what are some of your hobbies?" He attempted to break the ice.
"Well, I was raised in a pretty traditional household, so knitting, cooking—"
"THERE YOU ARE!" Madara's murderous voice boomed from the other side of the restaurant.
Hashirama gulped. Remember, do what you did in the office, passive resistance… Passive resistance Hashirama, also, act friendly.
"Hi there Madara! Want to join us on our date?" He inquired amicably.
"Shut up! It's all your fault!"
Hashirama's head drooped, his mood switching from hyperactive to absolutely miserable. "What did I do this time?"
"My brother is in an abusive relationship! I demand a divorce!"
"Not again… I thought they were getting along well… Ahhh… If only they could see through those petty prejudices…" Hashirama mourned as his eyes became misty.
Meanwhile Mito gazed mystified at the two of them. Being a latecomer into this whole matchmaking debacle, she was naturally unaware of the current situation.
"IT'S NOT FUNNY!"
Mito decided to interject: "May I ask, what exactly happened?"
Hashirama cut Madara first, "Well my friend's little brother here harbored a crush towards my cousin Toka and…"
"Lies."
"I decided that getting them married would resolve our inter-clan relationship and help dissolve generations of feuding…"
"Lies," Madara snorted again.
"So they got married and lived happily ever after…"
"Lies. Hashirama, will you stop speaking utter bullshit?"
"Stop interrupting my magnificent tale of the two star-crossed lovers!"
Mito mentally facepalmed in embarrassment, she really missed Uzushiogakure. The people there were at least remotely sane.
A/N: SOOOO Madara crashes their date XD
I'd like to shout out a thank you to tinasan25 who volunteered to design a new cover for this miniseries :)
