Kiss in the Rain

Crest

Amaya smiled at the clan leader, oh how he missed that smile. How it brightened up the darkest of days. Her emerald eyes looked into his soul, as though they were speaking without words being spoken. Just as Amaya went to speak another voice interrupted.

"I apologize milord, but would Lady Amaya wish for a change of clothing?" one of the house maids asked.

"Yes, please have her ready for dinner."

The housemaid quickly nodded taking the raven haired woman to a secluded room, inside awaited a warm bath, as though the maids already knew the answer of the clan leader.

"Please put your dirty clothing over here, and I will be back soon."

"Thank you," Amaya said as she began to remove her garments, the blood of the younger Uchiha caked her old attire, but it still showed the symbol of the Senju clan. Once she stepped into the warm water she let it engulf her body completely, that was when her mind began to wonder.

She wondered of what her brothers were up to, she hoped they were ok, and that Tobirama would not convince Hashirama to try to take on the Uchiha. Then her mind drifted to the young Uchiha, how Tobirama's attack could have taken his life, a life that has not been even lived yet... then she thought of Madara, how he would have felt if she could not save his last remaining sibling.

Once she finished her thoughts she noticed the door opening revealing the young handmaid once more.

"Here are some new clothing for you." she said, Amaya turned to face her with a warm smile. "Thank you, I'm Amaya Senju, what's your name?" the young woman looked up "my name is Setsuna Uchiha, you know... my husband was saved because of your noble act to help our Lord Izuna. If it were not for you and your stand at the front my baby girl would not have father." she said with a smile, "oh you have a baby! What's her name!" Amaya asked a bit more excited than she even thought she would have been. Setsuna giggled "her name is Yukina Uchiha." "Yukina" amaya repeated "what a cute name! I would love to meet her one day." Setsuna nodded. "Well you best hurry and finish, Lord Madara is waiting for you for dinner" Setsuna said as she began to exit leaving AMaya in peace. Amaya finished cleaning herself and exited the bath, once dried she held up the garments, the large Uchiha crest on the back, but she did notice that they were in lighter colors than the dark colors she say Madara wear.

Amaya made her way out of the bathroom and wondered the bit, a little lost her found herself in Izuna's room. The young Uchiha laid still but breathing steadily.

"Who's there?" he asked a little airy.

"Oh I am so sorry for disturbing you, it's only me, Amaya." she said and approached a bit, he turned to her, with a light smile.

"You know, I've heard stories about you, my brother always spoke so highly of you, even when he stopped seeing you."

"You must be exaggerating."

Izuna shook his head a bit, "no, you may not see it, but with our eyes we can't miss it. Madara loves you, he wants to here so he can protect you, he wants peace with you even if your clan refuses." Izuna said making the girl blush a bit.

"You should rest more, I think your mind is playing tricks on you." she said as she quickly exited the room.

"Oh Lady Amaya!" Setsuna said as she was face to face with the girl. "I'm so sorry I left the bathroom without you, I didn't realize how large this place was and found myself here, so I just decided to check on Izuna, who is doing just fine but may need some pain reliever. I will have to find herbs later to do that for him" she began to ramble ask her head was elsewhere.

"He loves you" this was all she could hear in her head.

"Well come now, Lord Madara is waiting for you." she said leading Amaya to the dining area.

Once inside she saw Madara, and what appeared to be other Uchiha elders. Madara smirked, her light purple kimono with the Uchiha crest on the back, HIS crest.

"Glad you came to join us Lady Amaya, but we must discuss your stay and our potential peace treaty, and I feel you will play a great deal on it."

Amaya nodded as she was guided to sit next to Madara.

"So let us begin, first we will need to Unite our Clans"
