Mito woke up screaming, all sweaty, out of breath. She was having a panic attack. She slowly walked out the bed following the walls to get into the bathroom she threw up. She couldn't hold it in, she cried. She didn't want to remember that. She never once wanted to see that. She was shaking. However once she saw her reflection in the mirror she could finally see that she isn't in her past life anymore. She decided to wash her mouth. But she still felt dirty so she took a shower and a hot one. Which managed to calm her down. She was still insecure but she had to focus on mission which was ahead of her. Mito walked out the bathroom, she removed all the sheates of the bed and decided to put them in washroom. She apperently woke up 3 hours early. Mito didn't feel tired she was under a lot of adrenaline. Mito finished preparing for mission. And headed out of her house. She knew that she was 2 hours early however she hoped nature would calm her some more. She was looking for longest route to gates. She walked slowly calming everything inside herself, she wondered what triggered her memories. The first time was obviously a confession. This time it didn't have a trigger that Mito could think of. She reached gates an hour early looking completely calm on the outside, she managed to calm herself enough to not think about it. She was thinking about what she had to do on this mission how careful she should be and what to do in certain situations.
Half a hour later Minato came to the gates. Mito said :" Minato - San you are early today.
Minato replied :" so you are Mito-Chan. "
Mito raised her brows and Minato continued :" honestly I was surprised when Kushina this morning said to take care of you. She looked really weird. "
Mito asked :" Did she have foggy looking eyes like yesterday."
Minato nodded his head. Mito shivered saying :" She is imagine something I don't want to participate in. "
Minato laughed thinking she was making a joke but the glare he received was giveaway that she was serious. Minato asked:" why did you come so early."
Mito answered :" I had trouble sleeping."
Minato nodded and smiled saying :" You are still child, you can get excited for big missions."
Mito replied :" the bigger the mission the more worriesome it is. I am not excited at all unfortunately. "
Minato raised his eyebrows asking:" Then why couldn't you sleep."
Mito answered honestly :" I had a dream about past. A nightmare. "
Minato carefully asked:" How often do you have those. "
Mito stayed silent for a short time and answered :" Actually this was the second time. The first time I knew what trigger was, but this time it was more detailed, and I don't know what caused it. "
Minato said:" Then don't worry about it too much, stay focused on mission and once we are back you will search for reasons. "
Mito nodded her head and stayed silent.
Soon Kakashi came, he calmly walked towards Minato, while Mito was just next to Minato, she couldn't be seen by Kakashi. However Kakashi noticed that Minato was talking to someone. As he gotten closer he could hear his sensei lists everything he brought for mission. He heard humming agreement coming from next of his sensei. As he was getting closer Rin was just behind him, she was moving faster than him and was looking for the person sensei talked to. The sudden wind had blown from their behind and he could see long red hair carried by the wind. He stopped on the spot. Rin finally pasted him she saw it too but she was happy to see it. Rin rushed towards them saying :" good morning, Mito - Chan will you be joining us on mission."
Mito answered :" good morning to you too, I am going to join you on this mission Rin-Chan, Kakashi."
Kakashi started moving again after those words he walked coolly which made Mito almost laughed.
They still had 10 minutes and Obito still didn't come.
Mito could feel Obito coming closer so she decided to take out her gift to Kakashi. saying :" Kakashi come here I have something for you."
Kakashi walked to her with super speed both Minato and Rin though he looked like a dog wawing his tail in front of his master. Mito took out the sword saying :" honestly I didn't know what to buy for you but I geuss you will have to be satisfied. Congratulations on becoming jonin Kakashi."
The look in his eyes was priceless he looked so exicted. Obito just walked on it and didn't know what to say he didn't see Kakashi looking so alive. Mito laughed her beautiful laugh and Kakashi was red he didn't look like Kakashi he knew. Even Rin smiled more than before more honestly. Then why did he feel burden still. He had to confess soon.
Minato was the one who said:" alright now all of us are here we should move."
Obito said:" wait I still didn't give Kakashi a gift for promotion."
The rest of team 7 looked weirdly at him but Mito said :" Hey guys don't be mean to Obito. He may not get along with Kakashi but still he thinks about him more than rest of us. "
Obito asked :" what do you mean by that. "
Mito said:" I just said that you are secretly in love with him."
Kakashi eyes widden and Rin laughed. Obito exploded:" I don't love him, I just respect his strength. "
Minato said:" she is just teasing you, you can give him your gift. "
Obito gave him gloves which didn't cover his fingers. Kakashi smiled softly and thanked him.
They began to move Mito was surprised by how slow they were going jumping from tree to tree she wondered if Minato was thinking she couldn't keep up with them. So she asked :" Is this regular speed Konoha shinobi move on missions."
However Kakashi answered:" Yes, teams with at least one genin moved this speed."
Mito asked :" I think both Rin and I could move faster."
Rin nodded her head. Kakashi looked at Minato watching what he would do in this situation. Minato said :" Then let's move faster, the more time we save the war will end sooner or at least be more at our advantage. "
They significantly speed up. The journey which was 2 days long was shorten. Mito while she jumped on the trees was actually talking to Isobu.
Isobu was listening to Mito concerns and gave some advice on how to act.
