Chapter 23: Memories

Madara's P.O.V

Yoshima's kiss... It made me remember... Remember everything.

"Leave...  Before I make you pay."  I said to the man.

I found her... I found her being harassed by a creepy guy.
"You'll regret this kid."  He said to me. I'd for sure put him down.
"No!" Her tiny voice lingered through my ears
I gave the man a kick to the head and knocked him out. I turned back to the beautiful small girl. She looked at me nervously. She looked a bit frightened.
"Are you ok?"  I asked her.
"I'm fine." She said and blushed.

I offered her my hand to help her up. She stared at me for awhile and took it. I never saw someone so beautiful and angelic wander alone.

"Im sorry for causing you so much trouble." She said looking down.
"It was nothing."

"I hope he didn't scare you." I said and she stayed silent.

"Thank you.  I don't know if I'd be alive without you."  She finally said with her cheeks tinting pink. Why is she being so adorable?
"Uhh... It was nothing." I said with a frown while blushing.

"Uhh...  I should get going."  I said remembering the duties I had to do.

"Yeah.  Me too."  She said and dashed towards a direction as fast as her little legs could carry her. I sat on the ground and covered my face. My face was hot.

She's really cute.

"If no one will help me become a Shinobi, I'll become one myself!" I stopped running to see her... She was standing in the woods punching a tree.

"You want to become a Shinobi?" I blurted out as I stood on a tree.
"It's you..." She said and I jumped down.

"The Shinobi life isn't fun.." I said.
"As expected.. You are a Shinobi.."

"And I'm guessing you aren't...  What's your name?" I asked.
"I'm Yoshima.  What's your name?" Yoshima... Such a unique name... It's music to my ears.

"I'm Madara...  Meeting twice in one day, huh?"
"Luck?" She said and the butterflies in my stomach fluttered.

"By the way, earlier you ran without saying bye!!" I said in an angered tone.

A shadow covered her eyes and a black aura surrounded her. She reminded me of Hashirama.

"I'm sorry.." She said in a sad adorable tone. I covered my mouth as my cheeks turned pink. So cute...

"You remind me of someone." I managed to say.
"Who?"  She asked interested.

"It doesn't matter.  Maybe I can help you become a Shinobi.." I said and her eyes lit up.
"Really?!" She said with her eyes shining. Why was she so cute.

"First tell me, what's the main reason you want to become a Shinobi so badly?" I asked in a demanding tone.
"I want to protect the loved ones I have left." She said with hope in her tiny voice.
"Left?"
