Peacemaker

Uchiha Brothers

Izuna discreetly glanced back to look at the still scowling girl.

As if noticing his gaze she looked at him too. He was the one who broke their staring contest.

He was used to taking on escort missions on behalf of his clan, but he wasn't used to escorting a pair of sadistic kidnappers.

He couldn't imagine how annoying the wire wrapped around the girl's wrists were to her.

Aside from the scowl, she didn't really show much emotion. Then again most of his clansmen didn't show much emotion either.

To sum it up, this was one of the oddest escort missions he's ever been on.

"Duck!" Both Madara and the girl yelled in alarm.

Izuna's body reacted instinctively to his brother's order.

A flurry of kunai flew over him and the others.

His body tensed in alarm, and his eyes searched around the area trying to locate the enemies. He had no doubt that if he and his brother had their Sharingan, that this task would be easy.

"Uchiha-san and Izuna-san was it?"

Izuna allowed his eyes to glance at the girl who had stood up and walked over to the twins who were still crouched down.

"May I lend you my assistance?" She asked standing in front of the twins.

Izuna shared a glance with his brother.

"How?" Madara asked.

"By offering my sensory skills."

Izuna watched on quietly as his older brother and the girl stared at each other. Izuna wasn't surprised when the girl turned to look the other way.

(He didn't see the pure loathing and fear in her eyes.)

"Very well." Madara said.

With a nod, the suddenly timid girl closed her eyes.

"As you may have gathered by now this was a trap, triggered by Izuna-san."

Izuna's eyes slightly widened. When did he trigger the trap? Then he cursed himself realizing that it was probably when he let his thoughts wander.

"The enemy is really further up ahead, but are making their way towards us at the moment. A group of merely four ninjas. I'd say they're not newbies, but they're not veterans either. Hmm...none of the four seem to posses sensory skills. Perhaps we can finish them up quickly with a surprise attack?"

We?

Izuna wondered how the girl was confident enough to include herself in her plan to think that she could do something without her hands.

Not that Izuna was saying she was weak or anything, it's just...any ninja, regardless of their gender, are at a huge disadvantage without their hands.

"Izuna and I will handle that. Your work was sufficient." Madara said.

The girl didn't say anything, but Izuna could tell she was displeased.

Izuna almost smiled. Almost. The girl didn't seem to realize that Madara had actually thanked her in his own way.

"Very well, I will leave the rest up to you then Uchiha-san."

o0o.o0o

Sakura felt like someone was screwing with her as she eyed Madara Uchiha.

She was never the type to hate someone, but Madara Uchiha? Well, she loathed him.

She was disgusted by the mere sight of him.
