Mito was bored, she had done all the paperwork and she still couldn't be discharged. She was trying to entertain herself and Isobu but that was only shortly successful. Then she heard door of he room open. She immediately turned to see who it was. At first she thought she would be disappointed by nurse coming in to check, however to her joy, Genma walked with buqet of roses, the roses were pink white in the middle of buqet was a note saying :" Get well soon." Mito immediately blushed her face was color of her hair. However she managed to laughed and say:" Come in, I need company." gesturing him to sit next to her.
Genma blushed slightly and sat down, he put buqet in the vase. Genma then asked :" How are you."
Mito laughed:" I am not seriously injured, I only have chakra exhaustion, the only reason they won't discharge me is because my chakra reserves didn't reach 50% of usual chakra I have. This sucks."
Genma nodded his head :" but it is alright, it means that you are strong enough to only lose to yourself. "
Mito said :" I am not complaining, I am just bored, you see you are my first visitor besides Hokage who just came to drop paperwork. "
Genma eyes shined brightly at those words. He definitely received some extra points. Genma then started to tell what Mito has missed these few days. Mito laughed at everything he said, she felt confident with him, she felt safe, he was funny, the more she thought about him the reder she was.
Meanwhile team 7 was training extremely hard. Even though Kakashi became a jonin he wasn't as motivated with that as he was motivated by his wish to be stronger so he could protect Mito. He knew he lacked a lot right now, so he decided to ask Minato to apply harder training for them. The team now instead of training in morning and then having a lunch break and then doing missions, they trained from morning to afternoon then having lunch break and after that would come some more training. Neither had Obito or Rin protested at new schedule. However Rin would leave 2 hours early to go to hospital. Where she would treat Ninja for 4 hours. So she had the most difficult time. She would visit Mito at the end of her long day. Obito however was slowly gathereding confidence. He could see that Rin was moving quickly over her crush on Kakashi. It probably helped that she already knew who he liked.
Mito talked with Isobu after Rin had left she wondered why her chakra was so low these days. Until Isobu got idea:" I think it is because of your cycle."
Mito asked confused :" which cycle."
Isobu :" the one when you bleed."
Mito said :"oh,.... Wait what, am I of that age already."
Isobu answered :" Actually most girls get it earlier that this, at least in shinobi word."
Mito was so shocked she fell unconscious.
Mito when she waked up noticed blood flowing from her. She cursed Isobu for being right and immediately apologized to him to. She asked nurse :" Do you think it is possible for you to call Kushina-san to come here. "
Nurse asked:" Is something wrong."
Mito was very nervous while saying she didn't even finnished her sentence :" I just had my first……" the nurse didn't get what Mito meant until she saw a blood stain on sheets. She said:" ah right away. "
Mito didn't knew anything about this stuff. While she did already went through puberty, she went through one as a boy, and boys did learn about everything but it wasn't important for them because they didn't experience this stuff. She didn't have anyone in her youth to prepare her for this and obliviously Sage wasn't going to tell her about it. Mito had two choices ask Kushina or ask Isobu. But it would be suspicious if she suddenly knew what to do.
Kushina was so worried when hospital nurse called her to come. She was in middle of making lunch. She knew that it was related to Mito. Others would try to hide even going to the hospital from her. However Mito is already on hospital so she could call from there. Kushina rushed to hospital, then she immediately rushed to Mito's room, where she found Mito scared for her life, Mito held her knees so close to her body that she seemed like a staue. As soon as Mito spotted Kushina she smiled and then immediately started to cry. Kushina was confused by sudden outbreak of emotions coming from Mito. The child would always try to hide them. Kushina slowly approached Mito softly asking :"what is wrong honey"
Mito talked through her hiccups :" I had,..., my first,...., period."
Kushina was surprised, she remembered how she felt first time, it was awful but she wasn't this much of mess. Mito continued :" I am…. Not ready…. I-I d-don't know anything,... About it. If isobu… Did-Didn't tell me beforehand I would think something was wrong. I don't know what to do. I-i didn't want to learn from someone who doesn't understand me, so I called for you, I - I hope it i-is alright with you. "
Kushina smiled brightly :" of course it is alright. I will try to explain it to you as easy as possible. "
Mito face immediately went red:" I am not that cuelless, I know why it happens, but that is all. "
Kushina smiled but said:" I will still explain it one more time just to be safe, ok. And besides you were bored, right. "
Mito nodded her head at her question and in understanding.
Genma was wondering if he should visit Mito today to. He know he was probably making pressure on Mito but Genma just wanted to spend as much time as he could with her. Even if she later on rejected him. He decided to go, it was already afternoon. He heard from Rin when he saw her yesterday that Kakashi was busy training and couldn't make it to visiting hours. Genma also knew that Shisui had a lot clan matters to attend to. Shisui probably didn't even know that Mito went on mission, he would go tell him however non-Uchihas were not allowed into Uchiha district for few days. Because they celebrated Uchiha festival in which they worship their gods. Genma suspected that the gods looked like cats so Uchiha didn't allow anyone inside because they didn't want to be seen as softies.
Genma finally reached Mito's room as he was going to grab the handle the door opened and Kushina exited she eyed him for few seconds and said :" good luck."
Genma was confused he could swear she rooted for Kakashi so why wish him luck. He entered the room and was confused yet again, he saw a odd sight he actually saw Mito eating a chocolate, which was odd because she always avoided sweats. Mito was blushing mess when she saw him enter. Genma was satisfied by her reaction. Mito didn't know where to look as she said:" You came again. I wasn't expecting you as you can see."
Genma nodded and asked :" chocolate, don't tell me you are secretly in love with it."
Mito laughed:" no, Kushina said that when girls have their periods they eat chocolate to feel better."
Genma blushed and stuttered:" You are o-on a P-period. "
Mito nodded her head emberessed.
