When He Met Her ( Kakashi x Reader ), Book 2 - Season 3

Chapter 23

"Itachi cared deeply for you, (Name). One might even call it love." Madara frowned as he watched you. He could just tell by the guilty expression you had.

"That's..."

"What? You don't believe me? Think about it. Why else would he go out of his way to protect you or help you? He could've kept his facade and moved on. Yet he chose to be your confidant." Madara spoke as he watched the crows disappear. He should have figured as much that Itachi would also leave a safety measure on (Name) just like Sasuke.

"I cared for him as well... he was a real friend. Even if what you said is true, Itachi wouldn't act selfishly. If I ever did cause him pain then I hope that in the afterlife he will forgive me... but that just gives me even more motivation to protect Sasuke from your brainwashing." You yelled as one of the crows landed on your shoulder. Suddenly, white Zetsu's head appeared from the ground.

"Sasuke's in trouble, but he isn't backing down. What do you want to do?" Madara only chuckled before he grabbed your wrist and disappeared while dragging you along.

You found yourself surrounded by white Zetsus and beside Sasuke, who looked worn out. Sasuke stared at you with disgust and hatred in his expression, almost as if you were an eyesore. You were sad to see Sasuke this way, but you knew you couldn't let him fall any deeper into darkness.

"I told you to go home and rest, Sasuke." Madara sighed as he watched Sasuke struggling to catch his breath. He looked over to see Naruto and Kakashi with their eyes widened by the sight of (Name).

"Nee-chan!"

Your eyes widened, and your turned to find yourself facing Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi. Relief showered over you as you and Kakashi just stared at each other in what felt like time stopping.

"You're alive..." you whispered silently as a tear fell from your face. Your relieved expression only annoyed Madara, this wasn't the expression he expected to get from you. You winced in pain as you felt Madara's grip tighten, which made Kakashi frown in frustration.

"Let her go you bastard!" Naruto was about to charge towards Madara but was stopped when Kakashi grabbed his arm. He looked back at Kakashi, wondering why he stopped him but Kakashi only shook his head in response.

"We can't be rash right now, it could put (Name) and yourself in danger. For now, we just have to see where this goes." Kakashi spoke in a low voice to Naruto so only he could hear. Naruto frowned but he understood.

"Are you two done with your discussion? It seems you cannot resist the urge to fight when you two are near one another. I'll arrange a proper place for you to hunt the Kyuubi. For now, we retreat." Madara chuckled. Both Naruto and Kakashi returned their attention back to you and Madara.

"What do you want with (Name)? Haven't you already gotten what you wanted from her? Or do you just want revenge?" Kakashi spoke in a serious tone. Madara laughed in response.

"Trust me, I still have yet to get what I want from her. As for revenge, it'll come one way or another but I'll save it for the battlefield. If I don't get the Kyuubi and Juubi, then (Name) will be a good substitute." Madara smirked as he pulled you closer to his chest, which angered Kakashi.

Sasuke was only wondering why you were being kept alive. In his eyes, you equally made Itachi suffer like everyone else. He planned on getting some answers from you to see what your relationship with his older brother was.
