dear_mun | Now I understand you seem to have faith in me...

But isn't this a bit much? Yes, I was fully prepared for the boys.

Sort of.

Meeting my twelve year old son who was eight just the day before was a bit shocking you know, but at least I was better prepared for it than the entire 'meeting my eight year old who was -thirteen- yesterday' situation.

However, I'm still perfectly fine with that.

They're still my sons and I didn't expect to ever actually see them again after that entire 'being dead' problem arose.

No, my issue comes in with your apparent desire for me to adopt every orphan in the game. I hate to tell you this, but not everyone -wants- to be adopted by an Uchiha, first of all, and second of all, why am I not getting any adult help?

I was promised a Kushina! If you won't let me go talk to Fugaku, then by the will of the Kami, at least bring me another mother around the place so -she- can keep Naruto and Sasuke from getting into a brawl on occasion.

And to think, that girl is four years older than my son too.

...And just like her mother.

I take it back, can I have Minato instead?

Me?

[She blinked.] Wow, I almost wish everyone appeared on call like that.

Yes, you. Well, since you're here. Have any interest in handling a household filled with teenagers and preteens with me? It might convince the Hyuuga that it's not an Uchiha household.

It's a talent. [that's one way to look at it at least] Sounds like you've got your hands full. How many teens and preteens are you watching over where you are?

Currently four, but I've heard the player talking with the other players and there's at least two more, if not three, that they intend to send my way. Truthfully, your daughter, that's still odd to me, and the Hyuuga boy should be fine but...

Well, let's just say that Naruto is very like Kushina was at her age and the Hyuuga boy has clearly spent far too long alone.

[A sigh.] So help would be excellent. I only have so many hands!

Seems like Guy and his youthful exub-

my what?

Gai never stopped doing that by the way.

[Peers back at him.] You haven't died yet have you?

Well... You had a son, where I'm from, but I currently have charge of a female version of the boy.

[Long pause.] Would you like to come meet her? It's not as though you have to jump through hoops to do so, the game is pretty simple to get to.

No. I've - died. I've just never met an alternate to Naruto. If she's like him - and Kushina -

[this poor, poor father. A head shake though.]

I can't do anything until the new year. My mun has commitments that will keep them too busy for a game until then. Perhaps I shouldn't have answered but I haven't seen you before and my mun's weakness for your character gave me the opening.

It sounds nice though. Being surrounded by the future of the village and - it would have been good to see my son and meet a daughter. They're lucky to have you.

[Small laugh as she waves off the compliment.] Yes, well, it was certainly good to see you. I don't know if it's like this for you but you -were- my teammate once upon a time where I'm from. I missed you.

[She looked around before wrinkling her nose and looking back.] Think of is this way. If you find a spare moment, come by, it's a dressing room, so the players don't expect any heavy commitment, and it would be nice to talk to you again where I know I would remember it. If not... well, I hope you come by when you're not so busy and don't forget we talked.

I have the suspicion that if I -do- get an adult to help by then though that the help will be on the side of the mischievous ones, so I don't doubt that you'll still be welcome in a couple months.

Thank you for prying the time out of your player mm? I didn't expect you to actually answer!

Teammates? [that's an interesting idea but focus on the present is priority] A dressing room? That seems easier to not shirk responsibly to. I'll look into it. See about helping balance things out at least a little bit, right?

ha! It's my job to answer when I'm called, remember?

Mmhmm, you me and a Nara were Jiraiya-sensei's team.

[She laughed at the rest though.] Well, the place is pretty tiny still, we're barely past the founding players so far so there's not a lot of people to shirk responsibility -to-...

[The laugh softened into a smile.] I've had a few years to forget how good you were answering when someone asked for you, that's all. I won't forget again though!

It's... been a few years since I was able to answer when someone called for me...

Maybe I can change that now.

Would you mind PMing me a link to the site? I would like to visit you and the children there sometime, Mikoto.

[She couldn't help a little blush, but she just smiled brightly.] I'd love to! Anything to see a friend.

Yes, please assure your mun that I have no desire to be adopted.

It induces these strange, high-pitched squealing sounds from my own mun as if she'd been stabbed, and it is quite disturbing.

I am far closer to an adult than a child, you know.

You know the invitation won't go away just because you will it hard enough, don't you? But, like I told you, I don't intend to try to make you, even if I -do- think that living with other people would probably be good for you.

Good. Hopefully it won't be too long. Though if the children underestimate you in the meantime, they probably deserve the lesson.

I see I got the PM. Thank you. I'll look into it in the next few days. Homes don't have to be perfect, just full of the people that matter to you.

[She grinned.] I don't doubt they will.

See you soon Minato, you're one of that collection that matter to me too.

Hmph. Truthfully, I would not presume to tell you what to do, Uchiha-san, but I would request that you inform Itachi of normal clan policies regarding others. Should Hiashi-sama learn that I have taken to living with an Uchiha...?

Well. I do not think you would like to see that any more than I would.

And if we were in Konoha I would comply to that request with all due understanding. We're not. You're welcome to try to tell Itachi yourself. He knows better than you seem to think how these things tend to work back home.

If I see a Hiashi around, I'll be sure to shoo you out quick enough. My player is being stubborn about you, and honestly, I see why. Though, I do wonder if you'd be protesting so hard if there was a non-Uchiha adult around...?

He knows, but he ignores. Something like that may be admirable to some, but offensive to others. He needs to be more discerning with his affections.

...Again, with all due respect, you are assuming I will stay. I fail to see what the difference would be were there a member of another clan there; if I were there, there would be an adult there who was not Uchiha.

Kushina Uzumaki, reporting for duty!

Believe me, I can handle being a mother much better than Minato.

Well, the problem you seem to focus on is that it's an 'Uchiha' household, so clearly you weren't counting your residency as a factor.

[She shook her head.] We both know what's lying in wait for Itachi. I don't think it's so wrong that I want to encourage him while he's still like this, that's all.

I've already accepted your choice you know, I just find it interesting that you're still arguing with -me- about it.

Well, what can I say? I stopped to think about it and realized you're as likely to help throw pranks at me as the kids are.

[the most sheepish of smiles]

I only prank people that really deserve it. Plus, I'll be too busy helping you, right?

And I know good ways to get back at the kids.

Again, with all due respect, it is an Uchiha household. Sasuke, Itachi, and yourself live there. Naruto is... an exception.

...Blame my mun. She seems dead-set on putting me in situations where I won't have any choice but to spend time in your home, for which I must apologize.
