Falling for Madara

Chapter 2

Akita pov:

     It had only been a few days since I'd moved into the leaf village and not everything made complete sense to me, but I did really like it. Right now I was strolling down one of the main roads in the village.

     I saw a few clothing shops and looked down at my tattered rags. "Hmm, maybe I should try something different." I told myself as I walked towards a shop that looked more than inviting. I was looking through a rack of simple looking clothes. I didn't understand why they had so many different symbols on them.

     "Maybe they're just for decoration?" I grabbed a light grey kimono with a few blue accent pieces. On the back it had a fan which I'd seen Madara wear. Maybe it was his favorite? I could see why, the design and colors were simple but pretty. Red and white mixed with blue and grey looked nice. 

     "I think that one would look lovely on you." A young girl spoke up. I nodded and grabbed a few more with other symbols on them like Hashirama's, Mito's, and this guy with spiky hair I'd seen earlier.

     I assumed she worked here because once I was done she led me to a counter where I gave her a portion of the small amount of money I had thanks to Hashirama. She put everything in a white bag and I continued on my way down the main road.

     "Akita, what are you doing out here?" I turned to see Inabe. 

     "Oh just exploring I guess." I smiled nervously. Was I not allowed to explore? Or maybe did I have to have someone with me?

     "Oh well I'm meeting Lord Madara for lunch soon, would you like to join us? Were going to a nice ramen shop, they also serve dango." He sounded like he was trying to convince me but I had never even heard of dango.

    "As long as Lord Madara doesn't mind." I beamed and quickly walked to his side to follow him to this ramen shop.

    When we arrived Madara wasn't there yet. Inabe ordered for himself and then the older man taking our order looked at me waiting for what I wanted.

     "Oh um... Could I have that one?" I pointed to a bowl of ramen a young boy was eating. The old man smiled and nodded. 

     "You sure Akita? That's more of a childrens dish." Inabe told me quietly.

     "Well I've never had it and it looks yummy!" Soon the grumpy Uchiha showed up.

     "Good evening Lord Madara, I invited Akira because I ran into her on the way, I hope you don't mind." Inabe looked at me so I did exactly what he did.

     "G..good evening Lord Madara, I hope I'm not intruding." Madara's eyes widened before he huffed. "You're not an Uchiha, it would simply be Madara. Inabe is my subordinate so he must refer to me as so."

     "Oh well sorry, hey Madara, what are you gunna get? I got that one but Inabe laughed at me because it's a childrens dish apparently." I pouted slightly as Inabe chuckled beside me. "Hey you should get it too! I mean it looks so nice and colorful right?" I smiled.

     Madara didn't say anything but when the man took his order Inabe looked at him like he'd grown another head. "Inabe you will close your mouth before I cut out your tongue." I made a disgusted face at the thought.

     "Ehww just thinking about his tongue flopping around on the table makes me less hungry." I shook my head but I swore I heard Madara chuckle.
