Falling for him [Madara Uchiha]

20. Choices

Hey guys sorry for spacing out for too long. I was kind of busy. And here there is a new chapter only for you.
Enjoy.

Shanaya POV:

"Yup and I am actually very happy over here. Everyone cares for me very much. They loves me and so do I, so you guys need not to worry about me." I said to my mom through the phone who had been worried about me like hell for past week as she couldn't contact me at all.

"Oh I am very relieved to hear that. I have been so worried about you." She said softly.

I smiled. My mom, she is damn too caring about me. Even though she is not here with me and can't even help me if I am in real trouble.

" Yes mom I am really fine and you should really cut off worrying about me so much. Don't wanna ruin your health ." I said consoling her.

"Yeah I know" she said. We talked for some more time and then hung on the phone.

It had been a month since Akasumi and Izuna's wedding had taken place. After about a week from their marriage, they started going to missions.

Me and Madara had gotten closer in the time being. And I am completely aware of the fact that I love him. I really do. And I do know that he loves me too. But I don't know why I am actually afraid to accept it loud to him. Well I guess then he will have to approach me or we will just have to go with the flow of time.

Tensions with the Senjus have also increased far much. Madara seems quite tensed and irritated, but being a bold man, he never shows it. Hashirama is really getting onto him. He is digging into him for the peace treaty and Madara didn't trust them at all. So he is not willing to sign the treaty.

I have also talked to him about Kiku. I told him that it's quite hard to believe that he was deceived so easily. It is no doubt very hard to believe that such a strong shinobi as him was fooled so easily. And no doubt it's the first time I have heard a woman doing this to a man, it's always the opposite.

He stated that it was a celebration in the uchiha compound. He let his guard down as no one will pose him threat. He was among his people. But whatever happened was really unexpected. He really was very thankful to Izuna who just came in time for his rescue, or else....

Ah no. I don't even wanna imagine him with that slut.

I have also accompanied them on some missions. Sometimes with Madara only, while sometimes with Madara and Izuna both. I helped them by predicting dangers and by lending them powers if the enemy is proved out to be quite strong who can harm our mission. They make sure that the enemies didn't see me or it will be troublesome.

My thoughts were interrupted as two strong arms wrapped around my middle. My back came in contact with a hard chest. I smiled as I realized who the person is.

Swiftly turning around I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled myself up while he leaned down to my level and connected our lips.

We pulled away a after sharing a blissful kiss.

"Madara" I said barely above a whisper and looked at his face. He looked tired, eyes deprived of sleep. Well no doubt, he seems very busy lately. We see each other quite less.

Most of the times he falls asleep in his office. On his table, in between all of the papers. Since I am not strong enough to help him to his room, I just simply used to wrap a sheet around his figure.

All those nights without him sleeping with me were not pleasant at all. I didn't felt warmth besides me. All nights it were just very cold. I woke up to cold beds.

To be precise I have gotten used to him sleeping with me and spending nights without him sleeping with me are bad, very bad.

I felt a warm hand cupping my left cheek. My eyes automatically closed and I snuggled closer to him.

I opened my eyes and looked up at him and gave him a smile. He too smiled and placed a kiss on my forehead. Bringing me closer to him he pushed my face in his chest, his arms protectively around me while he rested his face in the crook of my neck.

Something is off with him.

"Madara what is wrong with you." I asked him straight.

His hold on me tightened. "N...Nothing". He replied sluttering.

I sighed and pulled away from his embrace. As soon as I was out of his arms I spun him around and showed him against the wall.

He looked at me with wide eyes, shock written all over his face. "Do you really think that you could lie to me." I said the same words which he had said to me.

He stared at me for quite some time and then smiled. "No I can't."

"Then tell me what is wrong." I pleaded.

"It's actually very confusing. I can't make anything out." I didn't say anything wanting him to continue.

"Half of the uchihas are in favour of alliance while half are against it."

"And what about you?"

"I don't know." I cocked my head to the side confused about what he just said.

"I just don't understand. I want to end this war. I want to end this bloodshed. And forming an alliance with the senjus will no doubt stop it. But I don't think that I can trust them." I cupped both of his cheeks.

"Senju and the Uchihas are the two most strongest clans in the shinobi world. If they will join each other no other clan will attack us and the bloodshed will eventually stop. I can trust Hashirama but his brother Tobirama, no way. I can't understand, I am so confused."

I sighed and walked him over to the bed. Sitting on the bed I pulled him into an embrace. He snuggled his face into my chest.

After a few minutes when he relaxed himself I said stroking his hairs. "You know Madara many times life brings us right infront of two roads. In between the two roads we are supposed to choose one. The choice will be difficult, if it wouldn't have been difficult, we would never have termed it as a choice."

He pulled away still looking at me wanting me to continue.

"You are right now standing infront of such a road. You have two choices infront of you and the choice is difficult. One road is one which is taken by many people while the other is taken by very few more or less no one." He stared at me with curiosity in his eyes. I am really glad that he is listening to my point of view.

"You need to think about it with cool mind and make a rightful decision. The decision will affect not only yours but several other lives too. So think before you act Madara. Because once you have decided to take a road, there is no turning back." He was still listening to me patiently.

I gave him a soft smile. "For today I want you to relax. Keep all of yours worries and stress away and just relax. You can never make a critical decision with a cloudy mind. So just clear it off for today. Think about it later on. For now just give yourself some time. Ok." He gave me a simple nod.

I smiled and lied on the bed with him side to side. I opened my arms for him and he immediately get in.

I was the one who always leaned into his arms but this time he is leaning into mine. Well he needed it.

He rested his head on my chest and slowly made his way down until it was rested in between my both mounds.

My face got all heated up. "M-Madara" I mumbled. But my words fell on deaf ears. He wrapped his arms around my middle and snuggled into me more.

My eyes widened and embarrassment ran through all inches of my body. But I didn't protested and let him be like this.

He is kind of troubled and puzzled up. If this is what will help him then be it that way.

It's actually kind of cute the way he is snuggling in me. I smiled and ran my hand in his hairs letting the sleep come to me.
