Death of Me

Standing as I overlooked the ocean, I waited for the bastard to arrive. He liked making me wait. He always thought his time was worth more than mine. More than anyones, for that matter. He was arrogant and demanding where he needed to be confident and appeasing. He was the worst of scum that needed to learn his place in this world.

The ground.

The door opened, and I turned. "I hope you weren't waiting long, my old friend." That entitled look on his face made me want to strangle him.

"We're past pleasantries, Danzo," I walked from the balcony and into the room, "I'm here to find out why Shin was following Y/n."

The man in question stood behind Danzo. The leathery skin around Danzo's mouth quirked as he tried to smile. It was an ugly attempt.

"I have my reasons to keep an eye on her," what he means by that is that he wants to keep an eye on my weakness. "She's a key player in our plans."

I quirked a brow as I slipped my hands into my pockets, "Our plans?" I asked, "Or your plans?"

Danzo lifted his hands, "Both," he said casually, "she has a lot of knowledge in that pretty little head of hers. I'd hate to see it become empty."

I bit back the growl that scratched my throat, "You will not threaten her," I drew a step closer, "or me. I've told you time and time again, she is mine at the end of this."

Waving me off, he said, "Yes, yes," he walked past me and to the table that held a spread of finger foods he must've ordered, "our asset and your precious Okami will not be harmed."

"Then you will keep your men away from her," he'd likely ignore my demand.

Turning, he popped a grape into his mouth. He chewed as he looked around the room as if searching for something. Finally, he hummed, "Then you'll be reliving Shin of his contract with you."

Ah. This was a ploy.

"You can keep your monkey," Y/n hated the man as it was, "I have my own."

Danzo nodded towards Shin, "Tell your brother to back off as well."

"Get out," I snapped.

"As you wish," Danzo was smug as he strode from the room, Shin hot on his tail.

Rage bubbled inside of me. He was working behind my back, in my city. Threatening my love. His death would happen soon. Even if I must plunge the knife myself, I wanted him gone.

Recruiting Y/n was something that I wanted to do to extend my hand to her. Show her that I would never lie. To bring her closer. But if I have to take the asshole out on my own, I would be glad to deliver his body to her. It wasn't the original plan. But if he was going to stalk and torment Y/n, he needed to be dealt with.

I was eager to see Y/n face to face finally. However, I was worried about how the meeting would go. Y/n has a hard time accepting that I love her. She has an even harder time even thinking about loving me. She does, though. Deep in her black heart, she loves me.

We're too similar for her not to know it. Too alike for her to not love me as I love her. She's hardened her heart over the years due to the losses she's suffered. She's shut everyone out keeps everyone at arm's length. She never wants to let anyone in. Never showing her true colors, nor her true feelings.

At the end of the day, she was scared. She was frightened of someone seeing her as weak. When in fact, she is the strongest person I know. I love that I've seen the terror in her eyes right before she leans to me for support. I'd hold her forever if she'd allow me to.

I had to tread carefully, though. I had to make sure that she came to me. Like she did for this. While I wasn't behind what happened, she still came to me to take care of it. And I will. I will earn her trust in any way I can. Y/n deserves the world. Not as a gift, no. Y/n deserves to wear the crown as we stand side by side and watch as everyone bows at our feet.

We will rule this world. United as one. There is no other outcome that I will accept. I will destroy whomever I must to achieve that single goal. Even if I have to bury those who share my blood, I will do it. The Uchiha name means nothing without the loyalty that should come from it. Unfortunately, the respect I earned from my own family has been lost. They can rot in hell.

If Y/n wishes for me to leave them be, then. I will. I will sit back and watch with pure delight as she's with me while they suffer alone. Both endings have their allure. It's whatever my Okami wants of me. The conclusion of this will all lie in her hands.

Hearing of her evening with Tobirama had grated on me. I hated the thought of that piece of shit even touching her. Knowing that he had defiled her, again, made my skin crawl. But, she had left Obito behind. Anko was on thin ice with me, but she had achieved what my end goal was. The worthless whore had gone too far, but she would live for now.

Y/n was already taking steps towards her first assignment. Visiting Rasa wasn't something I was happy about, but she was wise to do it. Rasa would easily bend to her will when she gave him an ultimatum. That's precisely what she would do. The way she could manipulate in person or situation, to her advantage, was something I loved about her.

Once she met with Rasa and learned of Danzo's safe house, we could plan our attack. Sure, I could've killed him here today, but I had a couple of things I needed him for as well. Now that it was out of the way, he was disposable. And if I made a move against him, I would expose myself too soon. Maybe I can manipulate just as well as Y/n.

Sitting alone in my room, I couldn't help but think about Y/n being there. I've been so close to finding someone to let my frustrations out on, but I couldn't. And while Y/n likely won't believe that I've waited for her, I want to see her face when I do. Granted, I've spent most of the time apart in prison. Then again, money can buy anything, and I could've easily bought a piece of trash to suck me off in prison.

I wish she were here, beside me, as we watch the waves crash on the beach below. The sun setting in the distance. I'd hold her close as we lay together. My fingers brushing over her bare skin as she nestles into me. I can almost feel her body pressed against me as I close my eyes. I've missed her touch so much. I've longed to feel her lips against mine.

The ache inside of my chest was one I never thought I'd experience. I felt heavy and burdened. When Y/n was with me, I felt alive and free. I need her like I need air. She's my breath and my life. And as I fall into a dreamless sleep, I know the one thing that I can never tell her: She will be the death of me.
