A different light had shone on Madara ever since he came to get you yesterday, it was just the fact that he was the sole reason you were still alive that shocked you. The reason why you were able to look at him as he worked on his paper work right now

His gaze was concentrated on the piles and piles of paperwork he had prolonged doing up until now
It had been exactly a week since Miya had died and even then you had just accepted the fact that she was gone but you weren't used to it. Not without hearing the click of her alcohol jug, not without her complaining about anything and everything, not without her loud laughter or without sarcastic persona

Your eyes trailed from him to the shelf you were wiping down

Were you a bother to him? Did he even want you here? Enjoy your company?

Your hand tapped something and you checked to see what it was
It was a picture of two boys of what seemed like brothers with their arms around eachothers necks

One of them had long black hair that covered one eye which you immediately recognized as Madara and the other you guessed to be his brother

In the picture Madara seemed to be more... peaceful, full of energy and he had a smile on his face- you peeked at Madara from the corner of your eye and saw the difference in him in the picture and him in this moment right now

Right now, he had dark circles under his eyes and he seemed extremely tired as if each day was just a repeating cycle. His eyebrows were furrowed into a frown and he didn't seem happy at all. His eyes had lost the spark and now they stayed dull for what you guessed to be the rest of eternity

You looked at the back of the picture frame and found a sentence that was carved into the wood of the frame

'The one that forgives even his own death'

You blinked a few times as your eyes started getting half lidded, your vision got blurry and the world was spinning
"Okkotsu?" Madara called out in confusion

You held your head with both of your hands
...🝮༻✽༺🝮...
You opened your eyes and saw the bright blue sky

"Did I faint?" You groaned as you sat up but when you placed your palms on the ground you felt dirt

You almost gasped as you looked around in a panic, why were you in the middle of a forest?

You quickly stood up and looked at your hands, they were dusted with dirt but something else you noticed was that you weren't wearing the same thing as before, you had a purple kimono with flower patterns on it

You also had a haori on so you took it off to inspect it, it was of a creamy white colour and had the uchiha clan's symbol on the back

Grunts and groans made their way to your ears along with the sound of clashing metal
"A fight?"you mumbled to yourself

You rubbed the back of your neck as you stuck with the choice of going to go see what's going on or not

You decided to go for the first one

"The air seems to have a more energetic energy to it" you looked around in awe, the forest was full of vibrant cherry blossoms where the petals would dance along the wind

Your sandals clinked as you walked and now that you were closer, you heard more
"Hashirama! This time I will win!" The voice seemed familiar yet too different to recognize but... hashirama? Your big brother?

There was a loud laughter and you immediately guessed that was from Hashirama
"Believe what you wish!"

You walked through the tree's that followed each other on an unmoving race until you found yourself at a large river

There you found the certain ravenette you found in the picture you were looking at earlier and what seemed to be a younger version of Hashirama

"Madara?" You mumbled

The two of them were clashing with katanas in hand
"Madara have you gotten me a gift yet? It is my 24th birthday tomorrow!"
"You haven't ever gotten me a gift Hashirama!" Madara responded furiously

Hashirama chuckled and the both of them continued their fight until you accidentally leaned closer and stepped on a branch that had fallen

The both of them immediately turned their heads towards you
"And who are you!?" Madara asked as he pointed his katana towards you

You lifted your hands as a sign you meant no harm and your cheeks flushed pink at the surprise "I'm sorry I just got lost and I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your fight- Madara-sama!"

Madara lowered his weapon and looked at you in confusion, konoha had been created just not to long ago yet people are already calling him with the honorific 'sama'?

"She must be from konoha Madara, don't scare her" Hashirama waved his hand and started walking towards you

"And what might your name be?" He asked you as he placed a hand on his hip
Your eyes widened, Hashirama was supposed to be around 24 by now so he knows the you as a child. You couldn't possibly use your real name

"My name is aoi-" you thought of a random last name but Hashirama interrupted your train of thought "and you must be of the uchiha clan? You have its symbol on the back of your haori" a wave of panic filled you as your eyes flew where Madara stood

He looked at you with a raised eyebrow, he was an uchiha so he would know everyone in his clan but you weren't even of his clan in the first place!

You rubbed the back of your neck nervously " I actually admire the uchiha a lot so I wear this haori at times..." you stated with pink cheeks

Hashirama seemed surprise and he turned towards Madara "you have an admirer, Madara!" He chuckled loudly

Madara lets out a "tch" but you caught a glimpse of red on his cheeks

You guessed that Madara wasn't always the dull and emotionless person you knew

A smile formed on your lips
...🝮༻✽༺🝮...
You were now sitting besides Madara and the other boy you saw in the picture
"How is Hashirama doing these days brother? He must have many great responsibilities now that he is the hokage of konoha. The first one at that"

"He is doing well, he is as loud as he's always been" Madara stated as he ate

"Why aren't you eating, aoi? You are our guest so I must make sure you are well fed. Madara told me you admire the uchiha. Is that true? If so mind telling us why?"

So this was Madara's brother? He is so kind hearted
You looked at Madara and met his eyes

You remembered how he got flustered of your sudden admiration for them and so the inner you grinned

"I actually admire Madara-sama... I really like that he is on the same level as our hokage; Hashirama-sama. To be at such a level is a great feet- and I do personally find the uchiha very good looking"

Your explanation brought a smile to izuna's lips "thank you for the compliment, you are quite the beauty yourself if I must say, aoi" your eyes widened and your cheeks dusted pink

Izuna looked at Madara "don't you agree Madara?"

Madara's eyes were still boring onto your figure

A smirked formed on his face "she has the most curves that I've ever seen in a woman, I couldn't imagine the amount of children you could bear... aoi"

Your eyes widened and your whole face went red

Was Madara really the type of person so think in such a way?
