Mizuki's POV

The next day I woke up seeing Tobirama sleeping. I smiled a bit and took some of my blanket and wrapped him. I then blushed bright red when he grabbed my wrist. I looked at him and paused seeing him still sleeping.

'Was that all a reflex?" I thought, as I tried pulling my hand free, but my eyes widened when his grip became tighter.

Then my eyes widened when I was pushed on my back and I blushed like crazy when Tobirama had his right leg between mine and I gulped a bit when he pressed his left arm to my throat.

"T-Tobirama" I wheezed, as I saw him slowly open his eyes.

They then widened and he released me.

"Gezz, I'm sorry are you alright" he asked, as I blushed when he gently touched my neck.

"I apologize Miss Mizuki. I'm not used to having someone close by me at night" he said, as I smiled and placed my right hand on his.

"Its alright. If anything I should apologize for forgetting my place" I said, as my eyes widened when Tobirama grabbed my hand and I blushed bright red.

"That is not a thing you need to worry about" he said, as I smiled at him.

"Really Tobirama I'm used to it. So its okay-" I was about to say, but my eyes widened when Tobirama kissed my lips.

His lips were rough, but the kiss was kind and gentle. I felt Tobirama's hand on the back of my head to deepen the kiss and I soon placed my left hand to the front of his shirt.

"Ahem" said a voice, as we broke the kiss and I blushed turning my head away.

"I did knock" said the voice, as I looked seeing Mito but wearing street clothes.

"Sure you did" said Tobirama, as I watched him stand up and then walked towards Mito.

"I'll leave you to it then" said Tobirama, as I looked at him and he smiled back at me.

"Have fun today, okay" said Tobirama, as I held my left arm with my right hand watching him walk out of our room.

When the door closed Mito walked over to me and placed some closes in front of me.

"I am giving you these cloths, but we are going out shopping" said Mito, as I blinked a few times.

"We are?" I asked, as Mito raised an eyebrow towards me.

"What's wrong haven't you gone shopping before?" asked Mito, as I sadly shook my head no.

She looked at me shocked and then held my hands.

"Then go get changed and we will have a fun time" said Mito, as I smiled and nodded my head.

I grabbed the clothes Mito gave me and got changed in the bathroom. I was surprised at how normal they looked. I always dreamed of wearing normal street cloths instead of kimonos. I was actually thrilled about wearing them. I walked out of the bathroom and smiled at Mito.

"Thank you so much" I said, as she smiled more towards me.

"Well than lets go for a walk" said Mito, as I nodded and walked behind Mito.

My eyes then widened seeing that we were walking through the front gate. I stopped in my tracks and Mito paused looking back at me.

"Everything alright?" asked Mito, as I narrowed my eyes at the gate.

Mito looked at what I was looking at and then she slapped her forehead.

"I do apologize. We are allowed to go out the front gate. I will even escort you" said Mito, as she hooked her arms with me and we walked out of the front gate together.

"I don't understand" I said, as Mito smiled sadly at me.

"In some clans going out the front gate shows power and courage. However, in others they prefer having their loved ones out the back gates so nothing will happen to them" said Mito, as I nodded my head.

'That explains why' I thought, as I looked at Mito smiling kindly towards me.

Mito and I started bonding while shopping and I couldn't believe how many stores she wanted to go to and buy me clothes. We soon came across a V Secret store and my face blushed a million shades of red watching Mito wanting to walk inside.

"Its perfectly natural come on you need underwear right?" asked Mito, as I slowly nodded my head.

This was kind of awkward and embarrassing too. I mean I had servants who went shopping for me. I had never even did my own shopping before. I watched Mito pick out her own underwear and I sheepishly looked around myself.

"Need help?" asked a clerk, as I blushed an slowly nodded my head.

Luckily for me the clerk helped me understand what I was looking for for myself and I was searching for what I needed and stopped looking at a silky blue nightgown. For some reason it caught my eye and for some reason I really wanted to have it. That was strange for me, especially since I wasn't materialistic at all.

I gulped reaching up towards it and grabbed my size. I walked over to the counter seeing Mito smiling at me.

"Find everything okay?" she asked, as I blushed lowering my head.

"May I please have this? I will pay you back. I promise. I'll even work around the manner if you want" I said, as Mito looked at the nightgown and smiled.

"Of course you can have it. Don't worry about paying me back. Consider it a welcome to the family gift" said Mito, as I looked at her shocked.

If that was anyone from my family. I would be cleaning and doing their chores for weeks, maybe even months depending on who I was asking. I watched Mito pay for everything and then handed me my bag.

"Shall we stop for lunch?" asked Mito, as I nodded my head.

We made our way to Wacdonalds and I found us a place to sit while Mito ordered us food. Soon we were eating and I was just sipping on my drink when Mito looked at me.

"It seems like you like him" said Mito, as I paused just looking at her.

"Like him?" I asked, as Mito smiled.

"Tobirama" said Mito, as I blushed and thought for a moment.

"Honestly... he's the only man I've known to even look at me. Anyone who even knew me at the Uchiha manner saw me more as a symbol than a person. Even my own parents put me through all these activities and dressed me up like a doll to keep me as an inspiring image for the Uchiha clan" I said, as Mito looked at me surprised.

"Can I ask... where were your parents yesterday?" asked Mito, as I closed my eyes.

"After the attack on the Uchiha clan... my mother became mentally unstable and was bed ridden. My father had to look after her. However, when they found out that I was marrying a Senju... my mother went ballistic and my father refused to look at me. Madara asked them to come, but they refused... honestly only Madara came because he had to" I said, as Mito lowered her eyes a bit, but then patted my back.

"Well I hope you can be happy with us" said Mito, as I nodded my head.

We soon made our way back towards the Senju manner and I walked to my room. I soon stopped seeing a bunch of men in front of my room like yesterday.

"Uh, excuse me" I said, as they jumped and then glared at me.

"What do you want?" asked one man, as I glanced at my room.

"I just wanted to enter my room" I said, as I took a step back when they took a few steps forward towards me.

"Your room?" asked a man to my left.

"You think we'll just let an Uchiha live here?" asked a man to my right.

"You sure do have a nerve for even calling it your room. If I had my way I'd-"You'd what?" said a booming voice, as I looked behind me seeing Tobirama glaring towards the three men.

"Master Tobirama" they said nervously, as I blushed when Tobirama wrapped his right arm around me and hugged me close.

"I don't recall giving you three permission to be in the Main branch of the house, nor do I remember you three having a meeting with Hashirama either. So unless you feel like lead to your chest. I suggest you apologize to my wife and make your way back to the Second line Branch house... now" said Tobirama, as they eyed me and growled turning their heads.

"Uh, its fine Tobirama they don't have to apologize" I said, as I stopped when his grip went tighter around me.

"They need to" said Tobirama, as I slowly nodded my head.

"S-sorry" they mumbled, as I smiled sadly and bowed my head slightly to them.

"And I apologize for not being more polite" I said, as they looked at me shocked, but walked away.

Tobirama let me go and helped me with my bags.

"Did you have fun?" asked Tobirama, as I smiled.

"Yes, Mito is very nice" I said, as we walked into our room.

"I'm glad" said Tobirama, as I watched him place the bags down.

"Need help putting things away?" asked Tobirama, as I shook my head no.

"How was your day?" I asked, as Tobirama smirked while closing his eyes.

"Everyone is in an uproar, but that's to be expected" said Tobirama, as I looked at him sitting down at the table.

"Sorry" I said, as Tobirama stopped and looked at me.

"For what? You didn't do anything wrong. In fact I'd say you did the best thing for both clans" said Tobirama, as I stopped and my heart felt not only full, but finally at ease.

What Tobirama said was the one thing I wanted to hear from the elders, from Madara, from Izuna, but especially from my parents. That's all I really wanted to hear. I soon broke down and fell to my knees crying. Tobirama saw this and crawled over to me and held me tight.

"Mizuki, I... uh... I didn't..." said Tobirama, as I hugged him and he paused for a moment but soon held me tight.

"Thank you" I cried, as Tobirama kissed the top of my head and held me close.
