Kiss in the Rain

An Unknown Future

The next day Amaya saw Hashirama walk into the forest on his way to the river, but what caught her attention were Tobirama and her father following not too far behind, in battle armor. At her lesson she needed a plan to get out so she said she did not feel well and needed to return home, but instead of home she ventured into the forest after them. She hid behind a large stone far enough away from her brother and father and she saw Madara and Hashirama.

"Let's use the skipping stones as our greeting." Madara said

"Yes!"

They both took out their stones and skipped them to each other. As they both caught each other's stones both reacted the same, "Hashirama... sorry... I just remembered I had something to do today." Madara yelled over

"I see... I will just go back home too then, bye!" he waved and turned away and readied to dash off, Amaya saw her father and brother sprint into action as did two Uchiha, Amaya's eyes widened. Both fathers were equally strong, seem from their various battles, but the two sons were the question. Tobirama and Madara's brother both went for a frontal assault. Madara and Hashirama yelled for them to stop yet neither got through, both throwing their stones at the weapons knocking them out of their hands. Out of pure instinct Amaya ran out of her hiding place, the Senju and Uchiha both surprised at the sudden appearance of the female.

"PLEASE STOP!" Amaya yelled as she ran in between Madara and Hashirama her hands out ready to take a blow from either side.

Madara lowered his gaze "it seems we wont be able to reach that idiotic pipedream of ours." He said Making Amaya look at him teary eyed.

"Don't talk like that, it can still happen!"

"It didn't last long, but I did have, Hashirama...Amaya."

"We're leaving, see ya!" Madara said as he turned and walked away.

"You can't just give up like that, you can't" Amaya said a tear slipping from her eyes as she stared at the back of the Uchiha, "you're a Senju... I wish it had been different. My brothers were killed by the Senju. That is why... There is no need for us to spill our guts out here. Next time we will meet on the battlefield. Senju Hashirama... and it will be our final moment here, Senju Amaya, I am Uchiha Madara!"

Amaya shook a bit she was within arm's reach but couldn't move.

"Father Look! Brother's eyes...!" The young Uchiha looked in awe of his older brother, "We have not gotten any information on the Senju, but it seems we got something good on our side in return." Amaya was flustered, heartbroken, and confused; all of these emotions ran through her like a sword piercing her in the heart. The shock caused her to give out, her chakra dissipating, Hashirama reacted quickly taking his sister in his arms as she fainted at the scene.

Back home, and after many scoldings from her father and both brothers Amaya became more silent, she stopped singing for the longest of time. A few years passed, the Senju brothers turned into men, as she turned into a beautiful woman. Her long raven hair even longer, she was a bit taller, her skin pale and soft like a delicate flower. Hashirama became the respected leader of the Senju clan, as Madara became the respected leader of the Uchiha. Madara had erased their friendship that day, and continued with the war, her brother's fought him, yet nothing was ever gained. One battle Amaya was sick and tired of waiting around so she threw on some pants and a shirt, no armor since non would fit her. She took medical supplies and ran to the battlefield. However she did place a mask on her face and placed her hair in a bun to refrain from anyone noticing she was both herself and a woman.

The battlefield was bloody, she ran to aid anyone who was in need of her help, she wore the emblem of the Senju, but helped all, both Senju and Uchiha. After bandaging the arm of an Uchiha he looked at her, at first in disgust but then his eyes softened and he noticed her soft hands, she was a woman. Before he said anything she ran off, she found her brother Tobirama fighting Uchiha Izuna, Madara's younger brother. There was fog; Amaya had very little time to help so she ran towards it, when it faded away Izuna stood slashed in the chest, as Tobirama stood. She sighed in relief but fear struck her as she heard Madara yell out to his younger sibling.

"You can't win against me Madara, please let's just..." Hashirama paused, he saw Amaya, and she was between Izuna, Madara and Hashirama. She removed her mask and took out her hair, Madara's eyes widened, "please let's end this, Madara-kun!" She yelled, still calling him that regardless of his rank, and the fact he had killed many of her friends and clansman. She put out her hand "I can help him." She said he looked at her, "If the greatest shinobi, the Uchiha and Senju join hands... the country will stop finding other shinobi clans to take us on!" Hashirama said trying to convince the Uchiha leader.

"Please, Madara... come with us, I can heal your brother!" Amaya pleaded.

"Brother, don't... don't let them fool you" Izuna said unconvinced, Madara was brought back to his own reality and threw a smoke bomb disappearing. Amaya fell to her knees, she tried, and she couldn't even convince him to come back. She wept there, Uchiha there surrendered, some noticing the fact she did not weep for the dead, but for the Uchiha leader whom she had once called friend.

That day Amaya changed, she felt betrayed by him. They found out Izuna had died from the wound and Madara acquired a secret weapon. He attacked, Amaya stayed away from this battle, she tried before and nothing. She waited with the children and mothers, the elders and anyone else who could not battle. The war was raging they could feel the vibrations. Amaya tended to some who were brought back hurt, but she turned her attention to the area the battle was taking place.

"Please take care of this man here, I feel needed somewhere else." Amaya said quickly running to her horse and riding for the battlefield. She got there and things were almost completely still. She un-mounted her horse and ran, where she saw her brothers and a figure on the ground, however Hashirama did not have his armor on, and had a kunai up to his stomach... suicide. Amaya's eyes widened and she sprinted towards them.

"HASHIRAMA PLEASE DON'T!" She yelled Tobirama turned, she was there quickly but he held onto her and Hashirama was bringing the kunai down upon himself, she yelled again, but the kunai was stopped by another hand. She was leading down as though trying to get away from Tobirama but her struggle stopped as she saw Madara kneeling there holding the hand of her brother preventing him from taking the final blow.

"That's enough; I have seen your guts." Madara spoke Amaya fell to the ground relieved, Hashirama helped Madara up and looked at the shaking Amaya, he held out her hand to her, she graciously grabbed it and embraced her brother letting out her own tears. Madara looked at her, her yukata dirty from the ground, her knee scuffed from the fall, but those tears, they brought back memories of old. She let go of Hashirama and looked at the Uchiha wiping her eyes. She gulped as tears flooded back looking back at the man she once called friend, without hesitation she embraced him as well. His was shocked and he tensed, as Hashirama smiled and Tobirama glared. Finally an alliance was formed.
