Mito woke up the next morning, feeling pain in her stomach, however she could confidently stand and hide it, she was brave one as most girls with such symptoms would just be laying in their beds. Mito sighed softly as she slowly got out of her room, she was confident, but a lot slower as every step she made was careful and calculated. Mito then opened the door of her home and went to have a breakfast. She was greated by Uzumaki couple and Karin. Tamura asked her how she was doing and she answered honestly, that it could be better and will be better. Tamura then asked :" what do you have in mind for the time."
Mito answered :" well, today i have planned to go shopping, as my training clothes are destroyed. But if you are asking about political involvement, then i am thinking of slowing starting some projects, but this time i would keep them in dark, until last moment."
Tamura nodded at her :" so you will have a time, i need a favor. "
Mito looked at him and asked :" and what kind of favor are you talking about. "
Tamura answered :" i will need someone to take over one group of students. As i have another business. "
Mito nodded :" sure, when do they usually study. ", Mito was glad that she would have another thing she could focus on.
Tamura answered :" Mondays, at 5 pm."
Mito nodded :" that id alright with me. "
Tamura nodded :" great, i will tell you more about them, some other time, as both of us have things planned right now."
Mito nodded, as she then quickly finnished last piece of her food. She stood up and then said bye to all of them.
Mito went straight to the shinobi part of market. It wasn't as full as it was usually. Or rather there were places that were used to have more people waiting in line but now there was less people. And Mito had noticed that those places would usually sell the weapons. Which meant that U store was doing extremely well. But they also couldn't just stop selling their things. Because everyone still needed to have reserves. She was brought of her thoughts when she saw a familiar face. However she quickly dodged. She didn't know why she was doing this, but it felt like she needed to do this. She had just dodge Rin, who was looking at another store. Mito sighed as she noticed that all the clothing shops were right next to Rin. So if she carefully walked by her and make her unnoticeable. That would be great. She then smirked pulling out a seal. Her favorite one. She then continued to walk. She walked next to Rin confidently and went into a first shop she saw.
She was looking through the choices here for quite some time. She had found few that she liked and would fit her usual style. She was so deep im thought and looking at everything. That she hadn't noticed that she was getting stared at from few different angles. Well she did notice it, but her brain wasn't taking those information as important right now. Especially with the pain in her lower abdominal region. Eventually Mito went to try the outfits on. They had fitted her perfectly. She ended buying them all. Most of them were black amd gray in color but the designs were quite various. From crop top ones, to the ones that hid all of her skin. As Mito planned to go in some solo training. When she was dome changing into her casual clothes. She went to pay. Only did she then notice, what was the weird feeling in the air. Because all of around her were her friends. Rin had come into the store just 2 minutes ago, and Kurenai was here for a long time, judging by the amount of clothes in her hands, Asuma was right next to her, and by him stood Raido. On the other side of store was Obito, and then there was Guy next to him, Ibiki and Tokara, those four were arguing about the green color. As they were trying to change Guys outfit. However they were all staring at Mito. Mito almost cursed on that spot. Suddenly she felt two hand reach her. It was Hayate and Yugao. They were also apparently buying clothes. The others used the time Mito would talk with Hayate and Yugao to their advantage, quickly pay for the things they wanted to buy.
Hayate wasn't really into the plan, but he wanted to spend time and talk with Mito. He felt like she was distancing herself from others. So when his hands reached her shoulders he felt that she was more tense that she looked. He smiled his usual warm smile as he asked :" what brings you here."
Mito answered :" ah, i need some new clothes. How about you guys."
Yugao answered :" oh, we were just here because they wanted to hear our advices. We agreed to meet here."
Mito nodded :" ah, i see, you guys planned a shopping day. How nice. "
Hayate didn't know if she really meant that or if she was pretending. As her face didn't have that usual and warm smile. It was there but weaker. Hayate then asked her :" so when did you return from mission. "
Mito answered :" ah, i came at late night, not yesterday but day before that. And yesterday i was busy with handling down the report and then resting. I spent some time with next generation. And went to sleep early. "
Hayate was surprised, why did she tell them her whole day. Was she nervous, or maybe she was hiding something, with overcompensating.
Hayate nodded as he then asked her :" do you have time, we were just about to go eat. "
Mito was stunned for a second, and then she asnwerd :" i, i am not finnished with shopping yet, i was thinking about visiting few more shops."
Yugao looked at her as she asked :" you need more clothes. But the amount you have in that bag is equal to the amount i have in my closet."
Mito rubbed the back of her head :" i kinda, destroyed 5 outfits, during my mission. And my chest area keeps growing, so i need larger clothes too."
She was slightly blushing. Hayate looked little awkward. And Yugao was amazed :" they are still growing."
Mito went completely red at this point :" yeah, they are troublesome to deal with. I was hoping i would have a to b cups ones when i was younger, but as soon as i went into puberty i had them."
Yugao looked confused :" You don't like having them larger."
Mito shake her head :" there are reasons. First would be me being raised as a boy, and i allways wore boys clothes. The second would be that they are quite heavy and sometimes in the way. Especially in the training with water and there are boys nearby. "
Hayate then spoke, changing the topic :" um, so we can come with you in those few shops. While everyone else orders the food and buys what they need. " by this time Kurenai and Asuma were next to the trio. They answered :" yeah thay sounds great. "
Mito nodded, knowing that she was defeated, and that she didn't have any choice as she couldn't reject Hayate. Mito the sighed :" Should we go, the faster we go, the faster we are done, i am hungry."
Amd with that she started to walk, slowly outside. Hayate had noticed that something was wrong. It wasn't the pattern of her movements but rather tempo. He did not want to point it out right away. So he waited. They went into next shop, where they bought a 2 sets of same training clothes. In next one they bought another one. And in last ones, Mito bought few gloves, she didn't need them for anything but they looked cool. And just like that she had spent her whole oay from mission. Hayate asked her when they were walking towards the restaurant :" i have noticed somethings."
Mito looked at him, she wasn't scared or anything at all. Rather she was waiting for him to speak. Yugao was listening into the conversation also. She also wondered what was wrong with Mito. She noticed something but she couldn't put her finger on it
Hayate spoke :" you are on period right now." he was slightly blushing as he spoke that.
Yugao was frozen at the spot, wtf did she just hear. How well did those two knew each other. Mito nodded :" yeah, i wasn't going to meet anyone, as i am not actually in mood to talk. But seeing that i don't have choice, i will rather deal with this trouble that os brewing right now."
Yugao was looking at them confused :" what trouble."
Mito had a small sad smile on her face as she said :" well currently there is a bit of untrust between me and others. As i didn't answer their question. "
Yugao was confused :" so what, it is not like it is something you need to do. You are friends but you are allowed to have secrets."
Mito nodded :" yes, but i did say that i would relieve the truth to them, and it was quite some time ago, maybe a month. I also baited them by saying that if they could find the information on their own i would be at ease. While i made it impossible for them to reach those information. "
Yugao, had understanding of situation a little better now but she said :" i still think that they needed to let you have some time until you were ready to say the truth. "
Mito smirked :" I agree with you, but i think that i spoiled them too much with giving tjem every information i had, and they tried the usual way of getting information. So theu were surprised when i refused them. "
And with those words they had arrived at the restaurant. Mito went to bathroom first as she ordered, same as Yugao. She went there yo change her, you know what.
When she returned she looked a little refreshed. The atmosphere however was still tense. Mito sat next to Raido as it was only seat available. Which made things a little weird. Well only two that felt weird were Mito and Raido, as there was no way that the boy moved on so quickly. However Mito slowly started to relax as the meals started to come. Luckily her and Yugao's were done easily and in no time. She slowly started to eat. Savoring the taste. While waiting for questions. She looked at them all individually, her gaze was on them for a 4 seconds at most. However only Rin caught her. She took that as signal to ask.
Rin then sighed and spoke :" since the atmosphere is already tense, we don't we skip to climax. Mito will you finally answer the question we asked you."
Mito looked at her, she spoke :" you know that i would do that, but please keep your tone less arrogant."
Mito spoke as she was picking a piece of her food looking at the plate rather than facing Rin. Mito then took a bite. And then after chewing spoke :" ah, right, it took me a while to remember your question. So the answer is. That there is a tradition, in Uzumaki clan. A tradition about Uzumaki royals. Especially princess as me. We are allowed to have more partners as a survival of royal blood is a must. So me getting engaged with Shisui doesn't bother the other two, as they knew about this. Another answer before you even ask, yes they have agreed on sharing me. "
Well to say that the group was shooked would be understatement. They were gaping their mouth to the table. Only two that didn't have that kind of reaction were Hayate and Raido. Yugao was also surprised. As Hayate didn't tell her. Hayate however noticed the tense atmosphere or rather awkward atmosphere around Raido and Mito when Mito sat down, but didn't want to point it out, and also didn't know what it meant. And the fact that Raido didn't have a strong reaction to this news meant he knew. And only person that could tell him was Mito, but why would she, why were they awkward. He missed something. Raido looked at him, for a second and immediately averted his gaze. Mito just continued eating her meal. Finally when others got their food, they were shaken out of the shook.
Mito then was done with her meal and was ready to leave but Rin and others looked at her strictly asking her :" why didn't you tell us immediately."
Mito answered :" i didn't want you to shocked too much, and i still needed some time to find a courage and say this to you, even though you are my friends you still could bash me for such a thing. I will give you time before you are ready to give me your final answer. I will await answer from each of you. "
Rin nodded :" i understand now. I am sorry for behaving such way. But you never kept a secret from me. "
Mito shake her head :" actually there is another secret that i am yet to tell you guys. But i don't know when the right time will be. As almost nobody knows of such secret. " as she spoke those words she stood up and then walked away from them. The others were too confused at her words as they didn't know what she could possibly be hiding.
Mito returned home, more tired than she thought she would be and more later than she thought she would. When Suzume heards her going into thr clans compand she exited the house and asked Mito :" are you alright, you said it wouldn't take you so long. Did it hurt too much. Maybe we should go to hospital."
Mito shake her head :" no there is no need for that. But can you help me to my room, i am tired."
Suzume nodded as she took the heavy bags. And then leaned Mito on her left side. She asked :" what happened. "
Mito answered :" i just ran at my friends, and the we went to have a lunch, but i had to tell them the truth. I am really tired because of that, rather than anything else. The tension made we wanna jump and run, but i know i shouldn't do that. "
Suzume spoke :" that is okay, now you will some rest, and tommorow i will bring you your food to room just in case. After all tommorow is that day. And you should really be careful and rest. "
Mito nodded :" yes i think so too. Thank you. "
She told to Suzume as she was laid down in the bed. She was so tired that she was fast asleep. Suzume carefully left the room, and went to make dinner and also finnish some seals she had to do.
