Naruto Seven Minutes In Heaven Mikoto

     “You, come up here and pick something.” Not even bothering to get out of her seat, Tsunade waved you to the center of the room. “You should know what to do by now and if you don't, that's just too bad for you.”

“I know what to do.” Not about to let Tsunade's bad mood ruin your good time, you quickly placed your hand into the bowl and retrieved a small, circular locket. You had never seen the locket before, and didn't have the slightest idea who it might belong to. Luckily, you didn't even have to ask. As you looked down at the locket for some sort of clue, someone gently placed their hand on your shoulder.

Standing beside you, a with a kind, almost motherly smile resting on her face was Mikoto. “That's mine.”

“Oh, here you go.” Not sure how you felt spending your turn with a married mother of two, you awkwardly handed her back her item and started for the closet. After placing her item back in her pocket, Mikoto followed you inside and shut the door. With the door now shut and the closet dark, you sat in silence, trying to figure out what to do. After about a minute, you realized you honestly had no idea how to react in this situation.

Somehow sensing your current state, Mikoto covered her mouth with the tips of her fingers and started to giggle. “You seem uncomfortable.”

You wanted to lie and say that wasn't true, but you were sure she'd see right through that. “It's not that I'm uncomfortable, it's just that I don't know what to do.” Looking away from her gentle gaze, you rubbed the back of your head and sighed. “This is a little different than I thought it would be.”

Scooting a bit closer, she placed her elbow up on her knee and propped her chin up with her hand. “Different how?”

You weren't really sure how to answer that question. You could have been honest, but you were afraid it would have come out sounding rude. After a few seconds of thinking, you decided that the easiest thing to do, was just to shrug off her question.“I don't know, it just is.”

Looking thoughtful, she turned her eyes to the ground and tapped the tip of her finger against her pursed lips. “It couldn't be, could it?” Eyes wide as if suddenly realizing something, she gasped.“Just what were you expecting to do in here, and with whom?”

“N-no, it's not like that.” Immediately trying to deny whatever she was accusing you of, you vigorously shook your head. “You're just reading too much into things. I swear.”

Laughing at your flustered appearance, Mikoto placed a hand on your shoulder and tried to calm you down. “Calm down, I'm only joking with you.” Almost feeling guilty for what she'd done, she did her best to force her melodic laughter to a halt. “If your face gets any more red than it already is, you might catch fire.”

For the first time, you found yourself wishing that the closet was a little bit darker. If it was, you might have been able to hide your face. “Right. I'll do that.”

“Good.” She nodded. “The sooner you do, the sooner I can give you a kiss.”

“Wait, what?” Her words took you by complete surprise. She had sounded serious enough, but she could be, could she?

Unlike you, Mikoto didn't seem worried in the slightest. “Oh come on. I don't think one little kiss will hurt anything, do you?”

“No, probably not but...” Not about to let you finish that sentence, just in case there was a chance of you denying her, Mikoto quickly pressed her palm to your cheek, leaned in and kissed you. The kiss had started and finished before you could blink, but that didn't mean it wasn't enough to make you blush all over again.

Not even a full second later, the door swung open and the light was turned on. For the first time in a while, Tsunade didn't look upset or annoyed. “Time's up. Hurry and get out of there. We're taking a snack break.” Caring little, if at all about what had happened during your turn, she turned on her heel and walked away.

“You see?” Standing to her feet with a mischievous grin, Mikoto politely offered you her hand. “I told you one kiss wouldn't hurt anything.”
