Phantom of the Lake

Dressed in a white kimono, she waits by the lakeside, with long white hair, pale skin, and eyes as red as the blood moon. She was known as the Ivory Wraith; beautiful and graceful, she dances on top of the water. Onyx's eyes watch the beautiful dance, graceful like a crane. Her crimson eyes look in his direction, and she smiles; her dance stops as she walks from the lake's surface onto the grass. The moon's light makes her ivory skin glow in a haunting beauty. He comes to see her every night when the moon is high, and the water's surface looks like a mirror of the sky. He brings her gifts, flowers, and sweets; she smiles at him as she takes them with gratitude. They had become intimate, her skin cold to the touch and his warm like the fire. Finally, she is ready to tell him about their children after years of nightly meetings—the ribbon around her finger as a promise of eternal love. She waits for him to arrive at the lake; he isn't here tonight. She tracks him down, and when she finds him, her eyes grow wide with shock and pain; he's with another woman; Uzumaki Mito is holding his arm and laughing. She nuzzles against his arm as if they were sweethearts. Mito laughs and smiles, dragging the Uchiha away to another room. Her heart breaks as she rips the ribbon from her finger, and she runs. Tears flow from her eyes like rivers, and her heart breaks into fragments as she runs.
The Ivory Wraith no longer sees him; the lake is no longer their meeting spot. He holds onto the ribbon, he wants to explain everything to her, but she is gone. Her heart becomes a block of ice, and her form now a male, she hides away, as the brother of Hashirama Senju, the truth of herself, hidden away by her older brother. And her children, she hid away from both clans. She lives with her four children in a small home, hidden away by the waters. Every night, he waits by the lake, wishing and praying she'd return. He misses her dearly, and he wants to see her. But will she ever come back?
