Mito and Kakashi sat down ordering food. Mito asked:" if I may know, what did you want to talk with me." 

Kakashi cleared his throat :" I didn't plan that much, honestly the whole idea was Kushina's. She said it was time for us to have a date." 

Mito chuckled :" ah, I see. Kushina - San did this. Well I like to spend time with you so I won't hold it against you." 

Kakashi was red in face. He wondered if he had scored some points for his honesty. 

Mito then spoke again :" I want to know if you still feel same about me. Even though we are spending less time around each other. "

Kakashi immediately answered :" of course. I like you for who you are. I think that will always stay the same."

Mito shake her head :" that isn't true actually, most people do have special feelings for their first crush. However most people don't end with them. Just like I won't. You won't stop liking me but you will start to delovep other feelings. "

Kakashi asked :" Are you rejecting me. Are you doubting my feelings. "

Mito answered :" not at all. I am only sharing my experience, the person I had a crush on may be dead but nonetheless over time I started to respect them rather than think of them as a love interest. However time will fly and I won't still have answer to your confession, it may seem like I am leading you on, but that isn't my intention at all. I have trouble trusting people, so me loving people is even harder. "

Kakashi was getting frustrated :" Are you implying that I won't hold on this feelings. I will wait for you however long that takes. I am sure Genma and Shisui will do the same. "

Mito had a solem look on her face :" I know, but I am dangerous for you guys and for myself. The darkness is always surrounding me and could harm you at any point. "

Kakashi was confused :" how will you hurt us, how are you dangerous. If we trust you then it is on us if we see you as dangerous or not. "

Mito smiled :" I have lots of enemies, so I can't really focus on anything but them. There will probably be time when you will understand everything I said today. "

Mito then started to eat her food in silence. Ignoring Kakashi. Kakashi again felt that Mito was farther away and he could not reach her. But this time he could feel that she had puted him there to protect him, but from what her enemies or herself. 

Kakashi asked one last question :" You said that you had a crush on someone. Can you talk about him." 

Mito froze for a second :" Well there was this person who wasn't strong however they always stood by my side, preventing me getting hurt by others. Even though that put them into danger. They were so nice and believed in good. I at that time wasn't like I am today, I was a coward who did not know about anything. I was strong but I couldn't use my strength because I was afraid of myself. The person I liked soon got disappointed in life and couldn't find solution, so they killed all of the people that bullied me and then killed themselves. I can't really talk into details because it is to painful. And I am trying to forget about it. I am creating myself on that persons sacrifice. My personality changed since then and I am no longer that person who needs a protection. "

Kakashi had a sad smile on his face, remembering how his father had killed himself too. However something seemed strange Mito said that she is building herself on this sacrifice, what did that mean so he asked :" do you consider this person brave. "

Mito was surprised by question and she answered it slowly :" I do and do not. I consider them brave for putting up a fight. However their last act wasn't brave, it was cowardly thing to do, but I do understand it, they felt dirty, they couldn't comphered what they did. They lost the only thing they thought I liked about them, their innocents. I was sad and couldn't accept it, but soon I realized that even though I liked them I couldn't do anything for them and that I probably wasn't worth them, I started to respect their previous existence. I was thankful for everything they did for me. So I started to live their style of life. Or at least I am trying. "

Kakashi spoke :" I think that they were a cowards. "

Mito nodded :" You can think that, but do you believe that it is another matter. Many people do it because they don't find solutions for their life however some find it like only solution for their problems. Thinking selfishly, thinking that everything will be better without them. Can you blame them, they suffered, the people who suffer usually blame themselves for everything. Even if they aren't wrong. Imagine this, remember our first training together. If I wasn't bluffing and testing you guys and had actually killed Rin and Obito. Who would you blame. Me or yourself. "

Kakashi spoke immediately :" You. "

Mito nodded :" Then if you had killed me. What would your feelings be. "

Kakashi spoke :" I.. I.. Don't know. I.. Would.. Probably struggled with hate and anger. I would blame myself, because I couldn't prevent it. "

Mito :" yes you would, do you understand now, if the person who knows that they did a good thing, but somehow that wasn't expected from them and they are constantly under pressure of their actions. They will find themselves in this situation. "

Kakashi nodded. Wondering if Mito was talking from her experience or maybe she knew about his father and is talking about his suffering. Kakashi lost appetite. He could not believe that Mito knew all along and never judged him, never pitied him. 

Mito then said :" think about it. And find me once you got your solution. If that man was really a coward or maybe an unfortunate person, a lost person, or maybe misunderstood. Even by the most important person to him." 

As she said that she left. Paying for the bill and saying :" it was nice to talk to someone about darkness in this world. Someone who was as hurt and broken as I am. "

Kakashi stayed at table deep in thoughts. Many things were going on. He was questioning. If Mito was talking about him or herself. If he had judged his father too. Just like village did. Was his father truly wrong. The waitress suddenly tapped him saying :" we are closing."

Kakashi noticed that everyone had already left and wondered how long was he there lost in his thoughts and not enjoying his geuss him stood up and apologized to the girl who just wawed it off with look of pity. Kakashi felt that he deserved it this time. He really was pitiful. He never thought of things Mito spoke. He never considered what his father went through. He was also selfish and stubborn as his father not seeing other solution than to hate his father. 

Mito walked into the Senju clan compand and headed to main house immediately. Tsunade was waiting for her. Tenzo was snoozing on the couch. Mito softly smiled. Tsunade teased her :" How was the date. Oh sorry dinner." 

Mito answered:" Actually you weren't wrong it was a date. Well Kushina planned it as a date, but we didn't talk about anything romantic or similar. We had a pretty dark conversation." 

Tsunade immediately stopped teasing :" what did you guys talk then. "

Mito answered :" about something that Kakashi has trouble accepting for years and nobody pushed hard enough for him to actually start healing. He just needs to think about it. "

Tsunade was confused, did Mito knew about Sakumoto. :" about what exactly. "

Mito slowly spoke :" suicide, and reasons for it. He thought that those who did it were cowards and I didn't think same. After all the person I respect the most did it. It did change me but I over time understood why it had to happen. I understand them, better than myself." 

Tsunade nodded, and decided to change the topic :" so what did you want to talk with me. I presume is about Tenzo. "

Mito nodded :" Yes. I wasn't sure how we would train him. But I got advice from Rin. I will talk about her later. She said that Tenzo could go to the academy. I know he wouldn't have much to learn there. But his social life would be best there. So I am asking if you think that is good for him. "

Tsunade :" ah, yes, well he certainly needs friends. So there aren't any bad things that could happen to him there and you will be under of less burden. "

Mito nodded :" Well yes, we need only to fill out the documents for it. Hokage will probably allow it. One more thing. Orochimaru - sama is willing to train him. "

Tsunade was confused :" is that so. It is weird. "

Mito answered :" Well Tenzo seems to like snakes. I don't know why. I think he liked idea of me getting scared of him. "

Tsunade snorted :" Well we will think about that. I want to train him too. Since he will become next clan head. "

Mito rose her eyebrows :" really I thought you would give that position to your children. "

Tsunade snorted :" are you crazy, with my luck my children will be as dumb as their father. "

Mito laughed :" I can't say you are wrong, unfortunately. "

Mito then said :" Well on the next matter. Is about something you said few days ago. "

Tsunade nodded :" ah, you mean about me accepting students again. "

Mito nodded. 

Tsunade asked :" Are you interested." 

Mito answered :" honestly, yes I am, but am not joining if you won't take my friend with me. "

Tsunade asked :" who is this friend of yours. I pray it isn't a boy. "

Mito shook her head:" it is a girl. Her name is Rin. Well she is already a medic ninja. She is under team 7 and she is still genin, even though she is strong as a chunin. She needs to get stronger so that her team does not need to fear for her all the time. And I know that you are best at this kind of training. "

Tsunade snorted :" Did you really. Well since my job there isn't as hard as it was with Shizune who didn't not know anything about healing when we started to train. I will accept it. However I heard that this Rin has pretty tight schedule. "

Mito nodded :" yes, she will shorten her training with her team for you. "

Tsunade nodded :" and why do you need to be trained by me. "

Mito smirked :" I have an interest in something only you could give me. "

Tsunade asked just to make sure if she already knew :" and what is that. "

Mito answered :" your summons. I need two you see. Toads are mostly for fighting but slugs are for protection." 

Tsunade smirked :" do you think that you are worthy of them. "

Mito answered :" am I, that isn't for me to decide. Right. So tell me how your day went." 

Tsunade played it cool :" what do you mean, it was pretty boring. "

Mito smirked :" right, meeting with your future childrens father. So boring. "

Tsunade was surprised :" How did you know. "

Mito answered :" Well, I have eyes everywhere. And little bird told the whole village about it. Not to say that bird was redhead. "

Tsunade cursed :" Kushina and her mouth. "

Mito smirked :" yup that bird saw you in front of his doors and now everyone knows." 

Tsunade mumbled :" now, that is one more reason to kill her. "

However she was stopped by Mito :" tell me, I want to know if he fell unconscious. If he had a stupid expression on his face. If he thought you were genjutsu. Or if he even kicked you. Is he even alive. Is he in hospital. "

Tsunade mumbled :" You seem to know him pretty well. At first he thought I was a genjutsu, then he fell unconscious. Then when he woke up in hospital he had this stupid grin on his face, so I punched him. And I don't know of he is alive or not. "

Mito laughed so hard and only stopped to ask :" Tsunade-sama, are you perhaps tsundere. You like him so much but still act like you don't. "

As she spoke that she jumped and grabbed the now sleeping Tenzo. Running to their house. Tsunade was chasing them. 

Well after Mito laid Tenzo on his bed she surrendered and was punched so hard that she almost destroyed a house in Senju complex. 

Tsunade calmed down and they continued to talk more.
