Tobirama pov:

The wedding was finally over. Everything had gone smoothly and as planned. Mio had stayed in her room just as she had promised and she had been completely inconspicuous. She hadn't asked too much from the guards either and they just gave her regular meals and the rest of the time she seemed to stay quiet.

But just as the wedding had ended, it was time for us to show the Uzumaki what we were hiding. Of course, they weren't too happy that we had hidden details about Mio and we had told them only after the alliance between our two clans was sealed. But they did seem to understand our concern and they had agreed to meet with Mio so we could come to a decision on how she could be used for the battle against the Uchihas.

I walked to her room and I could hear faint music from inside. It was instrumental, and was slightly similar to what I had heard several days back. I walked to the door and Raito bowed. "Tobirama sama." "Were there any troubles?" I asked and he shook his head. "No, Tobirama sama. We had no problems guarding her." I nodded and he opened the door for me and I stepped into the room.

But I frowned when I saw her. She was in strange and short clothes again, something that I didn't like at all and she was on the floor. She was lying on her back and lifting her legs in the air, doing a strange set of movements. She kept repeating them and I could make out that she was putting in a lot of effort to do it. She was sweating and she was really straining her stomach muscles. But I decided that I should interrupt her since I had to take her to aniki's office. We didn't want to keep the leader of the Uzumaki clan waiting for too long.

I knocked on her door and she stopped what's she was doing and looked at me. She sat up immediately but cringed and held her stomach before giving a stretch. She stood up after that and looked at me with a smile. "Tobirama san! So, do I finally get to leave this room?" She asked a bit too happily and I nodded. "You will come with me to meet the leader of the Uzumaki clan. We need to discuss how to use your power to fight the Uchihas. But first...." I paused eying her clothes in slight disgust. "....get into some decent clothes. I don't want the Senju clan's reputation ruined by your lack of respectable clothing." I said and she rolled her eyes. But she nodded and walked to the closet to pick out some clothes that looked decent.

I walked out of the room and closed the door behind me. I waited for a few minutes and she walked out of the room wearing a half kimono and fighting pants. She was quite slim and the dress suited her well. In fact, she looked pretty with the way she had dressed up and I looked away and cursed under my breath as these unnecessary thoughts went through my mind again. I nodded to her and she followed me as I led her to the office.

I was a little worried though. After seeing the way she had disrespected my father last week, I didn't know what she was going to do today. If she tried to be defiant and say anything insulting to the Uzumaki clan, we would be shamed and we could even end up as an enemy. I glanced back at her and she was walking with a serene smile on her face. She was mainly watching the gardens as we passed by and she looked calm.

Hopefully, she would stay calm during the meeting and we wont have to bow our head in shame for her brat-like attitude.

Mi Ho pov:

"Come in." I sighed as I heard Butsuma san's voice from inside. He still sounded pretty pissed and well, I couldn't blame him. I had acted pretty haughtily last week and he probably thought I was just a spoilt brat. Well, I could be a spoilt brat when I wanted to in front of my sisters, but normally, I was a very calm and understanding person.....or so I had heard.

As I followed Tobirama san inside, I saw a beautiful girl with long flowing red hair sitting next to Hashirama san. Well, most of her hair was tied up and she was wearing a fancy kimono and hair jewelry. She was looking down calmly but she had a slight pinkish tint to her cheeks. Hashirama san kept glancing at her and he too was blushing slightly. I controlled my giggles with a smile and I finally noticed few other people in the room besides the Senjus I had met before.

One of them was sitting next to Butsuma san and he had long white hair and a white mustache and beard. He looked really stern just like Butsuma san and I sweatdropped. Was it just me imagining things, or was every leader extremely stiff here?

I shrugged and sat down on a floor pillow next to Tobirama san. The whole room was silent as the new people watched me with a scrutinizing gaze.

So, this is the girl. She looks rather weak....but she can hear people's thoughts and predict danger? She could become very useful in planning battle strategies.

I twitched as I heard someone's thoughts. I wasn't sure whose it was since it came from the direction of white haired man and there were several others who were sitting behind him and I couldn’t really tell which one of them had thought that. But I assumed that it was probably the leader. I mean, usually it’s the leader who gets the first say in the matter and he is the one to decide everything that has to be done in his clan, right?

Although, there was one thing I had observed since a few times I had experienced my abilities. When I had heard people's thoughts before, the voice of their thoughts was the same as when they spoke. So if I heard Tobirama san's thoughts, it was like hearing his voice when he actually spoke. And it was the same with Hashirama san, Butsuma san and all the others that I had spoken to out loud. So I was sorta starting to understand a little more about my strange ability that had surfaced when I came to this world.

Well, besides that, I had tried to learn how to control my new found abilities. I was still really rusty and most of the time I couldn't control my thought-hearing ability. But if I concentrated really really hard when no one was disturbing me and my surroundings were close to pin-drop silence, I was able to control it for five minutes. I know, its not a great achievement, but hey I'm getting somewhere aren't I?

And well, since I couldn't control my ability, my head was filled with constant murmurs of the thoughts of people around me. I tried to tune them out in a way so I wasn't concentrating on what I was hearing from any individual person. So hearing the thoughts was kind of like a constant background noise for me.....which I was starting to get a little tired of. I guess I would have to ask Hashirama san or Tobirama san to help me learn how to control it.

“State your name.” The leader of the Uzumaki clan spoke and now I was sure that I had heard his thoughts and not anyone else’s. “My name is Mio….sir.” I said and he narrowed his eyes. “And I hear that you can hear people’s thoughts and predict danger.” He stated and I shrugged. “I guess so.”

On the way to meet this guy, Tobirama san had told me that I was not supposed to talk anything unnecessary. I was just to give simple, direct answers to the questions that the clan leader asked. Well, since I had agreed to be understanding to their concerns for their clan and the war, and also feeling a little guilty for yelling at them earlier, I had decided to be patient and listen to them…..as long as they didn’t say anything to insult me or my personality.

“I am Uzumaki Toshio (a/n: meaning ‘great leader’. I made up the name since the name of the leader of the Uzumaki clan is unknown) and I am the leader of the Uzumaki clan.” He said and I nodded. “You will be helping us and the Senju’s to defeat the Uchiha’s and bring out a peaceful village for the future shinobi to live in.” He continued and I just nodded again. But then my curious side seemed to take over.

“I don’t mean to be rude, but I really want to know who these Uchihas are. It seems to come up so often…..I read a little bit on how this place works. You know, all the chakra and stuff, but I still don’t know anything about the concept of clans and why you all are so much against these Uchihas.” I said and Butsuma san glared. “Silence! I thought I told you to speak only when you’re spoken to!” He yelled and I pouted.

“But….” I stiffened when my phone vibrated. The Uzumaki clan members stiffened and I pulled out my phone. My eyes went wide at the alarm that rang and I stood up quickly. Tobirama san was the first to react and he was ready to pin my down if I did something. But I flailed my arms and looked at everyone. “Ijjosso~!!! [I forgot!!!]” I yelped and began jumping in place.

“I have a dance to perform!! I need to do it now! If I’m late, my sisters are going to kick my butt!!” I yelled and Hashirama san stood up. “Dance?” He asked and everyone stood up getting edgy by my edginess. “Yes! Back at home, that’s my job! I sing and dance and we record it so others can watch and hear.” I said and Butsuma san frowned. “So you are saying you need to dance now? Don’t be ridiculous.” He said and I rolled my eyes.

“Look, I know it doesn’t really make sense to you now, but I really really have to do this. I promise, there’s nothing to be worried about. I just need to change into some other clothes and I need a good amount of space to dance and then you’ll understand what’s going on. Please, you have to trust me! This is really important to me!” I bit my lip and they watched me for a minute but then sighed and nodded. I punched my fist in the air in victory and I ran out of the room. Tobirama san followed me and when I reached my room, I pulled out my bag and got out the clothes I needed for this dance.

We were going to record RingDingDong by SHINee today and I was so glad for the holograms that I would be able to dance along with my sisters.

I pulled out my pant, shirt, jacket and two scarves and I ran into the bathroom.

Tobirama pov:

Dance? What dance was she going to do? And she had said that it was her job….why would someone have dancing as a job? I just couldn’t understand. But either way, she seemed frantic to do it and father had agreed.

He had given me the signal and I had understood that this was a way to test her honesty. I waited in her room as she dressed in the bathroom. She had taken some clothes from the bag that she had with her when we found her and I narrowed my eyes when she exited the bathroom wearing them.

She was wearing tight pants, a tight shirt, over which she had a short coat and two clothes wrapped around her neck. I narrowed my eyes at the as she dug through her bag again and pulled out two objects and ran to me again. “What are you wearing? I thought we made it clear that you have to have decent dressing sense.” I hissed and she rolled her eyes. “This is decent.” She muttered and I glared at her lack of respect. But she put on a bracelet and took a hold of another device and turned to me.

“So where do I get space to dance?” she asked and I shook my head and led her back to the office. Everyone was still waiting there and when they saw Mio’s clothes, they narrowed their eyes. Father sent a glare to me as well and I cringed for not stopping her and making her change her clothes.

But we all watched as she moved to one side of the room and put some object down. “Okay, I’m going to need you guys to stay beyond this line. If anyone comes within this, it will ruin my dance. So stay out of it.” She put a hand on her hip and held the other hand up with her finger pointed at us like she was scolding us. Great, I knew she would cause trouble! And Toshio sama did not look happy at all.

“How dare you speak out of line!” Toshio sama said and we all stiffened. This wasn’t good at all. “Mio, enough of this nonsense! Change and stay in your room.” I said and she clicked her tongue. “Jeez! Why do all of you get huffy so easily! I just said to stay behind the line because if you come in, I wont have place to move and dance properly! Anyway, its going to start soon so just sit down and enjoy some different dimension entertainment!” She smiled and I cursed under my breath.

“This better be convincing….or else, things wont end well.” Toshio san said and sat down. We were all hesitant, but we all sat down as well and froze when images of people popped up. “Eonni ya!!!” Mio yelled in happiness and one of the images glared. “Mi ho ya! Honestly! Where are you? You said you would be back in two days!!” The woman yelled and Mio smiled sheepishly while rubbing her head. “Something came up….I couldn’t meet with mom or dad either.”

None of us could understand what they were talking and it only made our suspicions more serious. “Oh dear….alright, I hope you remember the dance and you’ve been practicing. If you mess up….you’re dead.” Mio laughed awkwardly and cleared her throat. She stood on the right of the person in the center and turned away from us. “Ready! And go!” Someone shouted in the background and I clenched my fists when strange music began to play.

[a/n: Mi Ho is dancing the part of Minho oppa! Yes, lol her name was an inspiration from him :D So the girl in the video with the two scarves can be considered as Mi Ho dancing :P P.S. These guys dance amazingly well, don’t they?!

All of the people turned around and they had smug expressions on their face and they began dancing. Well, the other people weren’t too clear to notice, we could barely make out an outline of them and so we watched Mio very intently. Their dancing style was rather strange and awkward but all of them were in perfect sync. And the only thing that we could understand from the lyrics of the song was ‘ring ding dong’ and few other words like ‘butterfly’, ‘fantastic’ and ‘elastic’.

At one point in the middle of the song, the tune changed and all of them danced like they were mirror imaging each other. It was so perfect that all of them were able to be so perfectly in sync with each other and now I sort of understood that she wasn’t lying.

She too lip synced parts of the song as she danced and finally after about five minutes, it ended and they all stopped in the same position. “And cut!” The voice from the background called again and she relaxed. “Woo! That was awesome!” She yelled and stretched. “Joa hae cchi? [It was good, wasn’t it?]” Mio nodded to the person who spoke and laughed.

“Okay, lets wrap this up today. Mi ho ya, how long till you come home?” One of them asked and Mio put a hnad to her chin thinking. “Molla….chogeum man….mwo…[I don’t know….a little while….I guess]” She replied and the other woman sighed. “Alright….we’ll send you the video once its edited.” Mio nodded and waved and in a flash, all the other people disappeared.

Even though I didn’t understand what they were talking, it was easy to tell that it wasn’t anything serious. First, Mio got scolded, then she apologized, then they danced to the strange music, and then their conversation was probably about asking each other of their well being. And her dance was strange, but she was flawless. But she hadn’t lied to us about anything….and at least I knew that after everything that I had seen just now.

We all watched her silently as she turned to us and grinned. “So! What do you guys think? I’m a pretty good dancer, aren’t I?” She looked like a naughty kid who had just got into trouble but who was smiling smugly about it. I couldn’t stop an amused smile from grazing my lips as I watched her grin.

 This girl was strange, and her stay here was going to be….entertaining.
