Mito trained as usual she didn't let confession bother her, she still had some thinking to do. And it looked like she could think only at night. She still was terrified by last night dream, she didn't want dreamt it again, she couldn't handle it. She concreted on her training which showed some progress.
Later in the day she went to have dinner with Kushina. Well it was supposed to be just them, but the whole team 7 joined. Mito knew this was planned. Team 7 without their sensei acted like they were surprised by Mito coming, so she just played along.
Dinner was delicious and atmosphere was good enough so she didn't have time to think about Genma. She felt somehow closer to Kushina and Minato by the end, she always wondered what family feels like, but she also knew that even in this life she shouldn't get to close to anybody until she deals with Mađara and Black Zetsu.
At the end of the dinner while Mito was lost in her thoughts, everyone was cleaning the table, and Kushina took Kakashi by his hand. Kushina was about to say something to make Kakashi realize that he had crush on Mito. But Kakashi managed to speak first:" Kushina - nesan, I have crush on Mito." Kushina was surprised by Kakashi realizing that, but Kakashi continued :" I don't know what to do, I don't want to be like fangrils chasing her everyday, everywhere, I am afraid that she will not like me back, but I also afraid that if I don't do anything she will fall for Genma."
Kushina didn't think that Kakashi had thought so much about it :" Well I know you won't become a fangrils, because you know how it feels to be chased around, and I think you are right to think you should make a move, why not today. "
Kakashi was considering this idea:" I don't think I am ready Kushina - nesan."
Kushina :" do you think that you have time, you just realized you have crush on her, while Genma had known longer he maybe already made a move. "
Kakashi said :" You are saying I should hurry."
Kushina and Kakashi then planed everything.
Mito was finally out of her thoughts when Kushina and Kakashi walked from upstairs, she didn't even notice them going up, so she searched for a clock to see how long she was in her thoughts and if she needed to go. She realized she overstayed. And was about to head home when Kakashi came closer to her and said:" Do you mind if I take you home."
Mito answered :" I don't mind, but I don't think it is necessary."
Kakashi thought he was defeated but Kushina saved him:" Well that is true Mito - Chan, you don't need protection but it is improper for royals of Uzumaki clan to move alone at night. "
Kakashi nodded his head, while rest of team 7 wondered what was going on.
Mito felt persure on her coming from Kushina. So she had to accept. She didn't get what Kushina wanted. But she had to play along.
Kakashi had slight blush but Mito couldn't see it because the mask. They walked home. Mito wondered if Kushina wanted to know where she lived, but was afraid to ask.
The rest of Team 7 wondered what was going on. They asked Kushina :" why did you send Kakashi with her."
Kushina faked her answer :"Well you see I wanted to learn where she lived, but also didn't want her walking home alone, and best way to both is to make Kakashi take her home, she after all trust him more than me."
Meanwhile Genma felt suddenly anxious, he was just getting ready for sleep, his day went well, he was extremely happy all day, and didn't know what was happening.
Kakashi gathered all the courage he could and said while they talked:" I wanted to say something to you."
Mito humed and said:" go ahead"
Kakashi :" I don't know how to say it, it will definitely surprise you as it surprised me. But I realized something." Kakashi stopped saying anything gathering more courage.
Mito hummed as encouragment. Kakashi felt revealed and said:" I think I have crush on you, I only realized it yesterday, but I don't want anybody to steal you from me. "
Mito now notice redness on Kakashi ears. She also felt blood rush to her face. She stopped in the middle of road
She didn't move for few seconds, neither did Kakashi. Mito slowly breathed out and spoke slowly :" I don't know how to express myself, I know that you aren't good at expressing your emotions, but I think that we are same at that, it kinda surprised me and I will have to think about it. Right now I have a lots of stuff to think about and I can't say when I will be able to respond to your confession. "
Kakashi was startled at first by her honest reaction but he smiled under his mask and said:" that is fine I can wait fot it. "
Kakashi walked her to apartment. They walked there in awkward silence luckily he confessed close to her apartment. Mito said goodbye first and entered the apartment. When she closed the door she leaned on them and slowly sat down on the ground. Her mind was going to places she never knew existed, she was so confused with this situation she found herself in. She didn't know what to do she didn't know who to ask advice from. She still didn't have many friends, only friend she had was Rin, but she could not talk about this with her. That left only two options. Isobu and Sage. She doubted that they could help her, but for now she better ask Isobu.
She sat on her bed and started to meditate, soon she was in front Isobu who didn't look disturbed by her sudden visit. In fact it seemed to Mito that Isobu already knew what was troubling her. Well of course he did he could feel what she feels, he could hear what she thinks, because she doesn't restrict him in any kind or forms.
Isobu spoke first:"Mito-Chan, did you come for a piece of advice."
Mito answered :"Yes I did, I believe you know what situation looks like."
Isobu spoke:"indeed I do, I personally think that best thing for now is to focus on training and waiting for Sage and his new informations, besides you can't be happy with neither of them before you make everything all right. You still can think about it, but don't overthink it. You asked for a time and they gave it to you. "
Mito was thankful :" I agree with you, and I thank you for advice. I will try not to burden you with this kinds of thoughts from now on. "
Isobu said:" You didn't do anything wrong, you know, you can always ask me for anything. "
Mito laughed :" First time I meet you were acting like lost young boy, and now you are acting like fatherly figure. "
Isobu seemed embarrassed :" if you want to i can act like this more often. "
Mito laughed like an angel, she seemed so pure at that moment, she felt her burden vanish. She now knew hoe to behave.
