The night stay

After reaching Itachi's and Sasuke's house they knocked on the door. Soon the door was opened by a black haired beautiful woman. Haruto saw her said, "good afternoon Mikoto-san I hope that you are doing well." Mikoto looked towards the source of voice and was delighted to see Haruto and said, "long time no see Haruto, you seem to have forgotten this poor old me" with fake tears in her eyes. She liked to tease Haruto as she regarded him as his own son and was very happy to meet him after a long time.

Haruto got panicked and started moving his hands in denial and said, "there is no way that I would forget you and you know that, I was just busy training that's why I was not able to come here." Mikoto just chuckled and hugged him and said, "I know that but love to see you get flustered." Haruto pouted and looked away.

While they were talking everyone was standing at the door so Itachi came forward and said, "mom can you do that later Sasuke and his friends are with us and it is rude to make them keep standing at the door." Mikoto looked towards the other children and greeted them and quickly welcomed them inside.

"Mikoto-san can I use your bathtub?" Mikoto heard him and looked towards him and noticed that both Itachi and Haruto were dirty and nodded her head in approval. While they were walking towards the bathroom as they have decided to take one together Haruto turned towards Izumi and said, "don't try to peek as I will be along with Itachi as well." Izumi heard him and her face got flushed and said, "AS IF I WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!!"

Haruto just laughed and Itachi smacked him on his head. Haruto while rubbing his head said, "Itachi give me a pair of your clothes as I don't have a change of clothes at this moment." Itachi nodded and went to his room and gave him a pair of his clothes.

After having their bath and changing their clothes Haruto and Itachi came back and went where everyone else was. When they entered the room everyone looked towards the and thought that they now looked like brothers wearing the same clothes. Haruto and Itachi noticed them and asked, "what's wrong, is something weird?" Everyone got back to their senses and Mikoto said, "nothing just that you both are looking as brothers now that you both are wearing same type of clothes."

Haruto then glanced at his and Itachi's clothes and then looked at him and said, "that's why I always tell you to wear something different." Itachi snorted and said, "I like them, what's the problem with that." Haruto came closer to him and whispered, "if you go out to buy clothes you can ask Izumi to accompany you and can have a lovely date." Itachi started to blush and started to attack Haruto who dodged him. Mikoto noticed him but didn't ask anything and waited for them to tell her themselves.

Suddenly Haruto said, "I have to wait for my clothes to get dry, what will you all be doing." Sasuke said that they can play cards which was accepted by everyone even Mikoto joined them.

They played for a while when Haruto said, "we should get going as it is time for dinner and should not give trouble to them." They all didn't wanted to go as they were having fun and tried to refuse. Seeing them like this Mikoto chuckled and said, "you all could stay the night I don't have any problems with it." Haruto turned towards her and asked, "are you sure about that we would not be troubling you?" Mikoto nodded her head in approval and Haruto bowed and showed his gratitude to her.

Haruto grabbed Itachi and said, "you are coming with me." He dragged Itachi out of the room and everyone was surprised at this.

When they were outside itachi stood up and asked, "why did you bring me here?" Haruto said, "make some shadow clones along with me to notify their families about our night stay." Itachi nodded and both him and Haruto formed some clones and asked them to go to their friends house to notify them.

Haruto and Itachi came back to the room and explained what were they doing and went to help Mikoto who was preparing dinner. While they were cooking in which Itachi was of not much use as he was not good in cooking went back as to not hold them back. Mikoto was enjoying herself listening to Haruto's stories and was also telling some of her stories to him.

While they were chatting Fugaku came home from the back door and didn't noticed the children and came secretly and hugged Mikoto from behind and said, "I am home darling." Before Mikoto could say anything Haruto said, "Fugaku-san I don't mind you being lovey-dovey with your wife but you should check your surroundings as well."

Fugaku was shocked hearing someone while he was like this and looked towards the source of the voice and found Haruto standing there. He looked towards Mikoto who smiled wryly at him. Fugaku turned towards Haruto and said, "you didn't see anything right." Haruto had a smug look on his face. When Fugaku saw him like that he said, "name your price." Haruto turned towards him and said, "Sharingan genjutsu and Uchiha clan's fire and taijutsu techniques and consider this matter closed." Fugaku nodded and shaked his hands meaning that the deal is done.

After telling him what he was doing here and who all were present to Fugaku Haruto again started helping Mikoto and Fugaku went to take a bath.

Not long after Fugaku came came from the bath he was sitting with the children and talking to them. Haruto and Mikoto then came and informed them that the dinner was ready and everyone stood up and went to the other room to have their meal.

While they were enjoying the food made by Mikoto and Haruto, he suddenly stopped and turned his head towards Mikoto and said, "I nearly forgot to tell you a very important news." Mikoto looked at him and so did Fugaku, Haruto said, "you know Itachi found himself a girlfriend." At his comment Itachi choked on the food he was eating and started to hit his chest. Seeing him like this Izumi got up from his seat and gave him a glass of water. Haruto then said, "see they are really close as well."

This time Izumi was the one who got flustered and punched Itachi in embarrassment. Everyone saw this and started laughing.

Itachi got up and gave a death glare to Haruto and said, "we are taking it outside right now." Haruto smirked and said, "you lost today and can only challenge me tomorrow, don't forget this rule was setup between Shisui and us."

At his comment Fugaku's eyes popped out and looked at Haruto and thought, 'Itachi who is a genius in our clan was beaten by someone younger than him, I have to train him better.'

Itachi then snorted but his face got red at the next comment. Mikoto who was holding Izumi's hands said, "please take care of Itachi from now on and if he ever hurts you then you just tell me and he would fell death ten times over." At this everyone in the room felt a chill and all thought never to mess with her.
