Chapter 22: No Regrets

Yoshima's P.O.V

Madara and I returned back to the normal world with Obito. His grip around my waist was tight. He was whole again.

"So you sided with him." I heard Sasuke growl. I wanted Madara... I have him now, but this is wrong. I didn't say anything back.

"Would you consider dying together "teamwork" as well?" Madara said and my heart ached more and more. He didn't have to do this.

I've earned Madara's love back as well as his trust.

"Madara... Did you get both Rinnegan?" Kakashi asked. He definitely did get them both.

"Obito!" I heard Naruto yell.

"Unfortunately, Obito is no more. I took his body." The black Zetsu said.
"But I feel a strange presence coming from your body, lady Yoshima. We can't trust her, Madara." Black Zetsu said moving closer to me. Madara glared at him.
"This woman is my wife. Touch her and you die."

I was brought to be Madara's weakness. To make him give in and just end the war... But me... I've made it worse... I've done nothing but have made Madara stronger.

I watched as the two Uchiha glared at me.

"I'm sorry Rin, and Sasuke..." I said and they glared at me.
"Don't say sorry and act like it will make everything better!" Rin yelled. Madara smirked at me.

"Yoshima! Stay behind me!" Madara sad standing in front of me. He's back to being protective. Butterflies filled my stomach.. I felt a lot of guilt.

Sakura ran towards Madara. I wanted to scream no, but I couldn't. Madara stabbed her, but Sasuke and Naruto immediately retrieved her. I clutched my chest as it ached.

Madara started to weave handsigns. He was about to do something big. He started to float up.
"What's he trying to do?!" Kakashi yelled.

Something shiny dropped to the ground.  I picked it up.

"M+Y... Madara + Yoshima..." I stared at the bracelet cautiously. I felt a tear slip down my cheek.

"Yoshima! You know what's right! I know you do! You can still change him!" Rin yelled at me.
"Quiet." Madara said and something kicked Rin back. She laid on the ground motionless.

"Rin!!" Naruto yelled and Sakura ran to her side.
"She's out cold." Sakura said and I watched as blood trickled down her forehead. Sasuke gritted his teeth.

That girl told me that I was the only one who could stop Madara. She believed I could change him...

I glared at my right hand. There's something I can do. I felt hope fill me.

This time, I won't have any regrets.

Large rocks left the ground and floated into the sky. This was all Madara's doing.

Sasuke and Naruto started to break the rocks, but they too even realized they couldn't take them all down.

I glared up at the man I called my husband. I jumped up and I grabbed his hand. He pulled me up.

"I want to be with you. Madara I love you." I said and he held me by my waist.
"I love you too Yoshima." He said to me plainly.

Madara removed his head piece revealing a slit on his forehead.

"You don't smile so lightly anymore, huh?" I laughed awkwardly and he smirked at me.
"It isn't easy to do such things anymore."

"After this, I'll bring you back. I'll bring Kuro and Yuki. I'll bring Izuna and Shizuko back. We'll relive. I'll make everything better." Madara said with hope in his voice.

I grabbed Madara's face and kissed him, passionately. I think I surprised him.
