Mito, Rin and Tenzo were training with Tsunade for afternoon. Well to say the training was hellish would be truth. Tsunade had started evasion training saying that medical Ninja should always be able to dodge attacks. Tenzo and Rin had go down half in training their body filled with bruises. Mito however was still dodging. Her evasion were pretty good. However she was slowly getting out of breath. Tsunade aimed at her face the most then her abdomen and her knees. Mito seemed like she danced to the Tsunade throws. However when Tsunade switch from balloons and balls to weapons Mito had a lot harder time.
Over time Rin and Tenzo started to throw things at Mito too. And then it was when Mito snapped she knew she couldn't dodge them so she went to attack. Tsunade stopped immediately :" this is what a medic isn't supposed to do. We aren't going to fight our enemy. Mito you will now have to do 500 push ups. "
Mito snorted :" I am not a medic Ninja." as she made her first push up. Tsunade glared at her saying :" but Rin is. So you will show how medic Ninja should behave. "
Mito mumbled :" you are one two why don't you show it. "
However Tsunade didn't hear that her attention was on Tenzo who was asking about medical ninjutsu.
Tsunade explained a lot of things to Tenzo and Mito was listening too. She was rather intrigued into this feild.
Once Mito was finnished with her push ups. Tsunade and the rest were headed into a medic lab for training on fish. Where Tsunade said :" You two will firstly try on your own to revive the fishes then Rin will show how it is done."
Mito s
Decided to try without her special chakra. Because she wanted to know without help. And besides she couldn't always count on it. Because it is hard to control it when she is full of chakra. Her attempt was fail because apparently she used too much chakra. Tenzo's was too. They both had 5 tries and would always fail. But each time they were getting closer. Tsunade was impressed by both of their natural talents for this. Shizune struggled to pour chakra inside of fish when she trained. And here these two were doing it easily only problem was amount.
Rin then showed and explained what they were doing wrong. Mito looked rather confused by her explanation. However Tenzo got it quickly. And after trying 6 more times his fish was alive. Tsunade then noticed what was troubling Mito. It seemed like she was afraid to follow the chakra pathway with her own chakra. Well she did it first time however she suddenly stopped and just pretend to follow it. Her eyes were completely out of focus. Like she was deep in thoughts.
Mito could not break free from her depressed thoughts. She sweared she could feel something unpleasant coming from the fish. Her mind caught a words said to her long ago. Useless, dirt, unwanted. She felt torn apart. The fish, it reminded her of that night. The night she wasn't only judging herself for her sins but for the sins of her crush, she caused all of them, if only she wasn't born. If only she didn't live that world. The chakra pathway reminded her of her walk to home that night. It was tangled it was shameful. It was dirty. She was surprised by the next image. A body next to this fish. It was body of her crush. The fish was eating it. Mito wanted to scream to make it stop. Her mind was mess she could not control anything. She then felt a unwanted presence in her mind. It was Black Zetsu. He was making her hallucinate. The next thing she knew she felt pain in her cheek. Tsunade hand was moving away from her face. Her neck was slightly bent. She realized that Tsunade had to slap her to make her come back to reality. However Mito didn't feel any better. She could not stop trembling once she noticed the fish. She could not control the urge to flee that moment. So she quickly stepped out the room to the nearest bathroom. Tsunade and Rin were trying to stop her. Mito locked herself in a stall. She then proceeded to vomit her guts out. She was trembling. She tried to focus on other things.
However for the longest time she could not. Both Rin and Tsunade were worried. Mito was obviously having a panic attack. It was a smaller one however they didn't know what had caused it. Tenzo was slowly getting closer to the stall and. He jumped in. Surprising both of the girls. However Mito didn't say anything. Tenzo curled around her. Trying his best to make her grief easier. Mito stopped trembling. However she only started to pat Tenzo she was again lost in her thoughts. She finally could focus. Black Zetsu was probably trying to influence her. And he was doing great at that. She could not really do anything about it. Her hands formed a fist. She cursed their connection.
Mito after 5 minutes finally stood up and carefully took Tenzo hand as she slowly unlocked the door. Her form was slightly shaking. However she tried her best to look confident and walk comfortably. Her expression was blank, no smile or anything. She then slowly passed them by and they followed her trying to engage her in a conversation. However Mito only would say yes or no. Sometimes it would be only nodding or shaking her head. When she returned to the lab. She was shaking hard when she saw a fish. She tried to heal it. Her hands shake. She closed her eyes afraid to see the fish. She quickly pulled her hands back when she felt some bouncing on the desk. Her face was even more pale than before. She spoke:" I am done for today." as she exited the lab. Tenzo was following her. Tsunade wanted to comfront Mito however both Tsunade and Rin had a shift in hospital. And they were already late.
Mito walked through the town aimlessly. Tenzo followed her. Holding her hand, it was cold. The tremebeling had again stopped when they exited the hospital. On their way Mito bought a few dango sticks. However it was all for Tenzo. She wasn't hungry at all. She was queit all the way. She finally stopped when they were on a hill. It was an area filled with nature. It was close to training grounds. Mito laid down on the grass her eyes watching the sky and the clouds. She seemed to be lost in her thoughts again. Tenzo shifted when he felt a familiar chakra coming closer. Mito however didn't notice. The number of chakra signals increased in number. It was 2.
Tenzo waited for them to come closer to see if they were really heading towards them.
Genma and Kakashi had accidentally bumped on their way from training grounds. Genma was surprised by the look In Kakashi eyes. So he had to ask :" what happened."
Kakashi spoke:" it is confidential."
Genma nodded :" I see. But I have to know if it is connected with Mito-Chan."
Kakashi nodded :" it always is."
Genma then remembered :" oh, yeah, how did training go."
Kakashi answered :" it was hellish. "
Genma excepted that and he asked :" so, little bird told me you took opportunity and took her for a date. How did it go. "
Genma didn't even try to hide his curiosity.
Kakashi blushed for a second and then answered honestly :" it didn't go the way I expected. I already felt like she was pulling away from me. But she said that only time will tell me feelings for her. Is it real or were they my misjudgement. She told me a story about her previous crush."
Genma was procesing his words carefully :" so she probably doesn't believe that we really like her. I want to know that story too. But I want her to tell me about it. "
Kakashi nodded :" she also said that it is dangerous for us to be with her. She seems to be protecting us from her enemies. However I do not believe that she is doing what is the best. She is already involved with us. The enemy does not care if we are lovers or friends to her. "
Genma understood his point however his attention quickly snapped to almost red blur and brown tiny thing. He saw Kakashi's eyes flash with recognition too. It was Mito. They started to follow her. The atmosphere around the dou in front was awkward almost like none existent. Which made the Kakashi and Genma even more curious.
When Mito finally laid down they managed to come closer. They even laid down next to her. Genma on her left Kakashi on her right. Tenzo was laying on Genma's hand. His eyes were closed, and he was sleeping. He was still tired from not sleeping the night.
Genma didn't mind him. He and Kakashi stared at Mito who looked beautiful like this. Her eyes weren't focused on anything. Her face was slightly pale and her skin was glassy. Her lips were red and almost dry. Her hair was like her blanket. She mumbled :" if only you didn't do that. If only I didn't involve myself with you."
Both Kakashi and Genma were surprised by her words. The fear was taking them over as they asked :" why do you say that. Do you really mean it."
However Mito didn't respond to it immediately. Her mouth was trembling :" I wish that didn't happen. I miss you Mia. This is first time that I have said your name, after 3 years."
Kakashi and Genma after feeling revealed, were concerned. Mito obliviously didn't even know they were here. She was talking about her past. And it seemed rather painful for her.
Mito then said:" today I remembered you. Today the fear of loss is impossible to shake. Today I had a panic attack, because I regret your death that much."
Kakashi seemed to understand.
Mito continued :" Even though I killed you with my sins. Your suicide let me gather my courage to change. I liked you, now I must say that you are the person that I will always respect you. I am done trying to forget my past. I know it will be hard. I know it is painful."
The tears were going down her face a sad smile on her face emerged as she smiled :" I am sorry but I can't eat fish, even though it was your favorite food. It just reminds me too much of you. Your life was filled with your eating fish, ironically you ended in a river and it think they tasted your flesh."
After her little talk she was queit for long period of time her tears didn't stop. However Genma and Kakashi carefully wiped them of. Their hands carefully touching her skin. Mito seemed to enjoy the touch.
She then closed her eyes and when she opened them she was focused on her surroundings. And to say her color quickly came to her, was understatement. She was blushing so hard that even her hair looked pale. Mito tried to say something. However she was so flushed. Kakashi and Genma enjoyed the look on her face. Genma wanted to comfort her more so he laid his lips on her cheek. Kakashi followed because he could not let Genma just doing it alone. His clothed lips touched her cheek too.
Mito almost fainted her eyes were so huge. She jumped up. Her feet were wobbly as she tried to escape from here. However both Kakashi and Genma were holding her hands so she had returned to her previous position as quickly as she moved up. She then realized that they probably heard everything she said. She did not want to ruin this moment. It felt nice. The human touch. Her heart was fluttering. She the leted go of their hands and said :" I need a hug."
The boys blushed as they hugged her. One from each side. Tenzo was left without his pillow.
Mito sighed softly as she said :" I am sorry that you had to hear me mumble about my previous crush. I didn't want to hurt you in any way."
Kakashi nodded and spoke:" I know, you wanted me to think about my father. You want me to get better. You didn't hurt me you just comforted me. This is first hug a had given willingly since my fathers suicide. "
Genma softly spoke:" I don't mind it the slightest. This person was so important to you that you decided to honor them. I don't think anyone would have anything against it. "
Both of them then said in same moment :" we want you to know that we like you no matter what."
Mito cried a little :" I am sorry for doubting you guys. I wish that I could start dating you right now. But I must wait at least for 2 more years then I can date you. Please be patient with me.."
Kakashi asked :" Is it that specific. Why. "
Mito nodded :" I need something to happen, then my problems will be solved. "
Genma was confused :" how is that going to happen. "
Mito spoke :" I can't really say it to you. But I just know. "
Mito then noticed Tenzo who was looking at them weirdly as he jumped he said:" nee - Chan they are too close to you. You will suffer from the heat."
Mito laughed and said:" Then cool me with your water jutsu. "
The boy who still was in the air ready to land and kick the boys from his nee-Chan made a small water jutsu making the trio wet.
Tenzo landed and nervously laughed when he saw the look on Mito's face he hited her body not face as she expected. Her clothes were wet any her body could be seen. Her breast made appearance. Both boys died from the sudden rush of blood in their heads.
