Chapter 5: Payback!
Minato and Mikoto sat under a shaded tree. The wind was blowing the sun was shining and the birds were chirping. It was a perfect day. Mikoto couldn't help but wonder how the day could be so perfect when her heart was so sad. Why wasn't it raining? Or better, storming. Why wasn't the world showing Fugaku how he made her feel? Forget him, she wish he would go to the fiery depths of hell and burned to death over and over again.
Mikoto sighed deeply she began thinking to herself, "Come on Mikoto, you're better than that you are a kind person do not react out of anger."
"What's up with you? You haven't taken a bite of your peach, I know they're your favorite."
Mikoto looked up at her friend his hair was so bright it reminded her the sun and his smile brighten everyone's day, "Minato never hurt Kushina."
Minato looked at his friend in shock and concern, "I won't she's too precious to me."
Mikoto smiled she knew her teammate was telling the truth. But everything reminded her of the situation that happened with Fugaku and Chiyo. Was she not precious to him? Of course not, after all he never really chose her either. They had only met a few days ago and found out they were betrothed. Did she really expect him to love her or care about her in the slightest? Apparently so because she felt tears threating to fall from her eyes.
Minato plopped next to his friend and elbowed her, "I know that look it's the look you get when you finish off your opponent."
Mikoto laid her head on her knees, "Oh really, what do I look?"
Minato leaned back against the tree, "Pained."
Mikoto looked at her friend then into the sky, "I found Fugaku with another woman."
Minato looked at Mikoto calmly, "And?"
Mikoto laughed coldly, "They were making plans to raise money for the orphanage. I found them in bed together!"
Minato watch Mikoto he could tell she was hurt, "Mikoto, I am so sorry. What are you going to do about it?"
"What can I do about it?" She asked.
Minato punched his palm, "Get some payback!"
Mikoto giggled for the first time that day, "You sound more like Kushina than yourself. I can't get payback I'm too busy." She then stood up, "See look I have to go right now. Bye Minato have fun on your date tonight."

Fugaku stomped angrily through the Uchiha compound. He was upset, he had no idea why but he couldn't focus on anything. Mikoto's face popped into his mind, she was upset with him as she should be. If it were vice versa he would have murdered the man who had touched her in such a way. Even though they weren't madly in love it was traditional for one to save themselves until marriage.
In fairness to Fugaku he was a man, albeit he was only 15 when he lost his virginity to Chiyo. He didn't remember how it happened she was willing and he didn't say no. But those days were behind him. He hadn't had sex with her for three years; that was until yesterday.
"You who FuFu, come here handsome."
Fugaku turned around to find Chiyo hanging out her door. He walked over to her and pushed inside her home, "Where is your mom?"
"Not here. Why do you want to go upstairs again?" She said seductively while unzipping Fugaku's jonin jacket.
He snatched her hand and threw it down, "Mikoto is upset with me because of you."
She pouted, "Because of me? You were the one who climb into my bed."
"You said you'd tell Mikoto about our past if I hadn't!"
Chiyo crossed her arms angrily, "You only care about her! Why did you even care if I told her or not Mr. Icareaboutnoone!?"
Fugaku looked angered, "It is considered dishonorable for a clan heir to not save themselves for marriage because we are guaranteed to be married to produce. On top of that our clan has a kekkei genkai, it is my sole duty to preserve that bloodline. I'm not sure what the elders would do to me if they found out about my mistakes. If Mikoto were to tell…"
"If she tells anyone you can marry me and I'll have your children." Chiyo interrupted.
"Your mother nor you have awakened the sharigan, our children will have less than a 50% chance of obtaining it. Mikoto sharigan is almost as strong as mine, she will be my wife."
"You really have taken a liking to this girl haven't you?" She looked at Fugaku waiting for an answer that never came, "Well then I'll just have to show you I'm your only choice."
"Chiyo, you haven't been a choice since you slept with my best friend. You black mailed me and I made the mistake of falling into it. Now Mikoto is suffering."
Chiyo's face turned red with anger, "Fugaku! Keep on pretending like you did it to protect Mikoto and her feelings you and I both know it was to protect yourself."
Fugaku walked out the house not looking back. "Maybe at first." He thought to himself.

"I'm home!" Mikoto yelled out as she walked into her house. She felt bad for leaving Minato so early but she had to, she wanted to be alone.
Mikoto's mother popped her head out of the dining room, "Hi Miko I'm glad you're home early. Come join us for lunch."
Mikoto took her shoes off one after the other, "Actually I don't think eating is a good idea for me right now. I don't feel so well."
Kiyoko laughed dismissing her daughter's words, "Non-sense besides Fugaku is here."
Mikoto opened her mouth to speak but couldn't. Why was he there? What part of "stay the hell away from me" didn't he get? She couldn't see him, no she had to find an excuse.
"Mother I."
Kiyoko pulled her daughter's arm forcing her into the dining room. Mikoto came face to face with Fugaku. She looked away from him in disgust, her mother pulled out a chair next to Fugaku and forced Mikoto down into it before taking her place beside her own husband.
Fugaku coughed uncomfortably and grabbed Mikoto's hand just for her to snatch it back angrily.
She looked up to find her parents starring at her in shock. She put on a fake smile and reach for one the finger sandwiches on the table and took a bite, "They're delicious."
"I made them for you." Fugaku stated.
Mikoto choked on her food and her mother spoke, "Here I'll poor you some tea to wash it down. Mikoto I have to say you have the sweetest man. He came over with bags of groceries wanting to make you a lunch. Trust me Miko men usually only do these things when they've done something wrong."
"Like sleep with a whore?" Mikoto mumbled.
"What?" Her mother asked.
"Nothing." She impersonated a real laugh.
"This seems like as good of time as any." Fugaku said before standing up and kneeling down on a single knee. He pulled out a big white box and opened it wide. It was an engagement ring but it was the most beautiful ring Mikoto had seen. It was a silver .5 karat princess cut diamond with smaller diamonds around the band. If she had envisioned a perfect ring it would be it. She looked at Fugaku and shook her head she then ran out of the room.
"Mikoto?!" Her mother yelled in confusion.
Fugaku got up and followed her out onto her balcony he shut the doors and turned to her, "Mikoto."
"How dare you come into my home with a diamond ring pretending like you weren't in bed with someone else yesterday?"
Fugaku looked at her calmly, "Hnn. You're still upset."
Mikoto with pure rage in her voice yelled, "Get Out!"
Fugaku placed the engagement ring box on a table before hopping over her balcony and leaving.

Kushina clung to Minato's arm while they walked down the streets of the village. It was late and they were coming from the live theater play called "The hidden Rose". It wasn't what Kushina expected, because of the title she thought it was going to be a romance. It turned out to be a dramatic double crossing play about two brothers who love the same girl Rose however rose didn't love either but was after their family fortune but their mother had spent ever last penny.
Kushina enjoyed being with Minato even though he still had fan girls. He looked down at her and smiled, "You hungry?"
Kushina blushed and nodded, "Yes. How about some ramen?"
The two agreed and started to walk to the ramen shop. Minato stopped when he saw Fugaku walking towards them with his head down.
Kushina looked up, "What's wrong?"
"Mikoto caught Fugaku in bed with a girl named Chiyo. I was disgusted when she told me but my blood is just boiling now."
Kushina glared at Fugaku, "Well, what are we going to do about it?"
Minato shrugged his shoulders, "What can we do?"
Kushina punched her palm, "Get some payback!"
Minato closed his eyes and took a deep breath calming himself, "I don't think we should, Mikoto told me no when I suggested it to her earlier."
He looked over and to his surprise his red-head companion was already following after Fugaku who entered a bar.
Kushina quickly looked around finding him in a booth with his two teammates. She marched right over to his table and smacked down on it hard. Minato quickly yanked her back, "What are you doing?"
Kushina looked into his eyes, "Going to battle for our best friend!"
Minato slowly released Kushina and she whistled loudly to grab the bar's attention. It quiet down and Kushina yelled, "Where is Chiyo Uchiha?!"
Fugaku stood up from his seat, "Don't you dare!"
Chiyo made herself known, "Right here. Who's asking?"
Kushina glared at Chiyo, "Mikoto's best friend!"
Chiyo visible shook with fear.
Hizashi and Hiashi Hyuga seeing the commotion walked up to their teammate, "What are you doing Kushina? We're in a bar filled with Uchiha police."
"I don't care!" She then looked at Fugaku and pointed at him, "Fugaku and Chiyo Uchiha are cheaters!"
Gasps came at different times causing Kushina to look around. Her anger visible slipped away, "I played them in battleship and they cheated! Fugaku gave Chiyo his battleship and the ship my best friend loaned me to play with sunk to bottom of the sea."
Fugaku chocked at Kushina's word play.
"You're nuts!" She heard a random voice say before the bar became filled with noise again.
She continued to stare at Fugaku and he returned the stare with no anger but regret. She then looked at Chiyo who smiled and said, "His battleship is legendary."
Kushina balled up her fist and yelled, "I'm going to kick your ass!"
She jump on Chiyo causing her to fall to the floor. Kushina sat on top of her and punched Chiyo in the face over and over.
"Get her off of me!" Chiyo yelled.
Minato pulled Kushina up and Fugaku helped Chiyo up. Seeing this Kushina went into a rage and attacked both Fugaku and Chiyo.
"Hey she's on the boss!" one of the task force members yelled.
Minato saw three men running towards Kushina to protect Fugaku. He knew they would try to hurt Kushina so Minato attacked them. Hizashi turned to Hiashi, "Go get Mikoto brother, I'll fight with Minato."
After defeating the three men Hizashi pulled Chiyo up and moved her far away they fight.
Kushina punched Fugaku while tears fell from her eyes and she repeated, "She's too good for you."
Minato soon noticed that Fugaku made no effort to stop Kushina or her hits he just took it.
"That's enough!" A jonin yelled, "Cuff them."
Minato, Hizashi, and Kushina after she was pulled off from Fugaku were all hand cuffed and taken to the holding cells.

Mikoto stood outside Kushina's jail cell, she asked the others to wait outside for her.
Kushina ran up to the bars, "Mikoto! You came for me."
Mikoto smiled, "Of course I came Shi you're in here because of me."
Kushina blushed with embarrassment, "You heard huh?"
Mikoto laughed, "Yes I heard about the battle that happened. You assaulted a civilian, the head of police and who knows who else."
"How bad is it?" Kushina asked.
"No charges at all you free to leave. All of you are." Mikoto stated as she spun the cell key around her finger, "But before I let you out answer me this. Why didn't you shout to the entire bar what Fugaku had done like you planned?"
Kushina looked at her friend seriously then took a deep breath and smiled, "I love you KoKo, no matter how angry I am I will never hurt you. Having all those people know about what he had done, even though it shouldn't would have embarrassed you too."
Mikoto unlocked the cell and hugged her friend tightly, "Kushina, I would have rather been cut. I trusted him already and I fell in love with the idea or being with him in the future." Mikoto broke down and cried out painfully.
Kushina held her friend tighter and started to cry with, "Mikoto please stop crying, or I'll kill him and be in a cell for the rest of my life. The pain will go away but you have to promise me something."
"What?" Mikoto asked through tears.
Kushina pulled back and looked into her friend's eyes, "Don't try to get revenge or payback because that will only deepen the scar and add more tears, and more tears means my death threats become real. Above all else, you're too good for it."
Mikoto nodded her head, "Same for you. You're too good for it to."
Kushina clung to Mikoto, "How about a sleepover?"
