Love is a Battlefield

Chapter 2

Madara P.O.V.

We waited in the cell in complete silence for about 30 minutes. I made my way to the exit and Luna followed quickly, as we walked to Hashirama's office. I opened the door without knocking and we walked in. Hashirama was sitting at his desk while Tobirama stood on his side. "Madara? Who is that?" Hashirama inquired looking at the woman standing behind you. I moved out of the way so she could introduce herself, instead she stayed silent. "This is Luna, the intruder." Both brothers gave a confused look and Luna looked towards the ground. "I thought she was taken back to her village?" Tobirama growled, "Now, now Tobirama lets hear them out." Hashirama motioned towards Luna to talk, yet again she stayed silent and looked like a deer in headlights. She must be too nervous to speak so I stepped in to speak for her, "She was not a criminal as those men stated, she was taken at a young age and when she escaped recently she came to our village to seek freedom." "I see, well I do not see a problem with that, however incase you are a spy you will be under 24 hour surveillance. Any objections?" Hashirama spoke with a smile, "But brother! If she is a spy or not we are wasting the time of capable ninjas by watching over her!! I say we send her on her way! She has caused enough trouble already!" My blood began to boil at Tobirama's remark then my mouth moved and I spoke without even thinking, "She will stay with me and be under my watch." Everyone's eyes widened, "Very well, that sounds good to me, Tobirama?" Hashirama looked over at his brother with a smirk, he just nodded then looked away. "Ok then! It's settled! Welcome to the hiden leaf village young lady!" Luna just bowed, we headed back to my house, once again in complete silence.

Why did I say that? Now she is going to be living with me, no wonder she is quiet she is probably scared. Wait-why do I even care how she feels? I the Great Madara Uchiha am being extremely helpful and going out of my way to give this woman a home. She should be grateful if anything not scared! I should keep a close eye on her incase this was all an act, but something tells me it isn't. This is going to be one awkward night.

Luna P.O.V.

I couldn't think of anything to say, everything was happening so quick. Before I knew it Madara had showed me to my room. It was pretty big and I noticed each guest room had its own bathroom. His house was huge but thankfully he put me in a room next to his, otherwise I would without a doubt get lost. "If you need anything I'll be in my room." Madara spoke softly then left. I laid down on the bed, it was so comfortable. I smiled as I ran my fingers along the soft mattress, his home is beautiful. To think just a day ago I was sleeping on the cold hard floor, with a monster of a man on the bed above me. I was not aloud to sleep in the bed because as Goro stated 'I was merely his slave and I do not deserve such necessities'. Yet here I am, laying in the most comfortable bed in a room that was mine and mine alone.

It is strange however that Madara has done all of this for me. All of the rumors I've heard about him-a war hungry demon, and that he cared little for others only strived for the success of the Uchiha-he was the complete opposite. Although he was hesitant to believe me at first he still heard me out, then saved me from being brought back to Goro. Not to mention he took it upon himself to look after me and even give me my own room in his gorgeous home! I was in such shock the whole time that I hadn't even thanked him! Im so stupid! He's done so much for me even though we just met and all I did in return was give him the silent treatment. After all he even went out of his way to give me a name. Luna I smiled at the thought, the name feels so perfect, one day I will have to ask him why he choose that name for me. As for now I have to fix this, he must've regretted helping me because of the way I acted.

I left my room and stood in front of Madara's door hesitant to knock. I gently leaned my ear against the door to see if I could hear anything incase he may be sleeping, it is sort of late. You could hear the faint noise of papers being shuffled. I took a deep breath then knocked on his door, "Come in" He grumbled, great he already sounds annoyed, I'm probably just distracting him from his work. I slowly opened his door and walked quietly stopping infant of his desk. "Yes?" He raised a brow, "I..uhm...I came to thank you, for everything you've done for me. Also to let you know that I won't be much of a bother to you. Again thank you." I bowed and rushed towards the door leaving before he could respond. I laid back in my bed and let out a sigh. Why was I so nervous around him? It's not like I was scared of him, but I was scared of what he may think of me. I don't exactly know why but he did save me after all. I want to prove to him that he did not make the wrong decision, I want to become stronger and help this village as Madara helped me. I am in debt to him for he saved my life.

As the night sky grew darker I just became more awake. I did not get much sleep before I came here anyway, I was always scared Goro would try something while I slept. But I am safe here after all Madara is in the room next to me, I am safe. No matter how many times I told myself that I still could not sleep at all at my first night in Konoha.

Madara P.O.V.

"I..uhm...I came to thank you, for everything you've done for me. Also to let you know that I won't be much of a bother to you. Again thank you." With that Luna ran out of my room before I could even respond, leaving me to ponder what exactly she meant. Clearly she was thanking me for helping her, but saying that she won't be much of a bother to me? Did she think that she was being a burden already? She did make it a little difficult for me to vouch for her at Hashirama's office seeing as she did not speak. Most likely she was just nervous and confused so much was happening so quickly. She should relax a little bit, after all its her first night of her new life. Maybe I will take her to the hot springs tomorrow, then to get a bite to eat after, I'm sure Goro did not feed her properly, she is rather skinny after all. Since she is going to be living with me now, as much as I enjoy peace and quite I wouldn't mind to hear here silky smooth voice some more, maybe she will loosen up after the hot springs. W-wait silky smooth voice? What is wrong with me. Yes I suppose this woman is attractive but she still may be a spy, not only that but her past especially with men is indeed a troubled one. I have to be careful on how I approach her, I don't want to be too giving or else she may become spoiled, but I don't want to give her nothing then she will just think I am like all of the other men she's been around. Why am I even worrying about all of this? There is something strange about this woman, its like when I look into her pained eyes, I can almost see myself. Without a doubt she has had a troubled past, maybe even worse than mine but that doesn't mean that I should be soft on her. Many people have their own difficulties through life, yet I do not give them a second look, so what is about her that makes me want to take away the sorrow and hate from her eyes? I do not even know this woman, I just met her today and she barley spoke. I need to clear my head from these crazy thoughts, it is late and I didn't sleep much last night that is probably why I am thinking these strange things. Hence, I laid down in my bed and attempted to get some sleep listening to the sounds of the night.
