Hanabira (A Naruto Fanfiction/Madara Love Story)

Chapter Two: Still Allies, Or Now Enemies?

Chapter two

I smiled warmly at the feeling of sunshine. It made me happy and seemed peaceful, even in this dark room, were no light was shown. I could still feel the warm ray hug my little body. It was calm and peaceful in here. The complete opposite of yesterday… Yesterday was absolutely horrible. Scary even. I don't know what had happened with the man that Kirian had taken care of, but I hoped bad things happened to him. I didn't even think I would want someone to be hurt so badly... but I did.

Still do if that man is alive. Kirian was in control of my body as we wandered around the forest. He said he was going to take us to the tree house. He said it was a place that the clan leaders held meetings that they wanted to be private, and that they kept food there. I didn't question him on how he knew these things; it wasn't any of my business. Well, I guess it was now, but as long as I didn't have to sleep on the forest floor again.

XxX

It had been a long time since we spoke. I felt my body move, and energy vibrate through my body. I was starting to get a little hungry, but we had no food. I could cook a little, but not everything. I had watched mother cook plenty of times, but that was on a hot stove, or a crackling fire. I wasn't allowed to go close to either, so I only had prepared the food before she had cooked it. There were also the utensils. How did you use those? They were tricky looking, but Mother had used them like a pro. I didn't exactly understand it, but I guessed I would have to learn. Kirian could probably teach me.

It was quiet for a while and I didn't think about anything. "Seems like we’re here, but I don't want you to come out just yet." Kirian's voice said calmly. His voice had a hint of caution in it. It warmed my heart that he was looking out for the both of us, and just being cocky.

"Okay," I whispered, a light smile on my face. I knew he couldn't see it.

So again, I was here, alone and in the dark. The silence wrapped around me like a light blanket, comfortable, and almost unnoticeable.

Kirian's POV-

I stepped in front of what looked like a willow tree. It seemed so out of place. Because it was. I sliced the palm of my hand, wincing at the sharp pain. But I hesitantly pressed my palm to the trunk, not sure if it would work with her blood.

But just as a moment passed there was a snap of a twig and a couple of branches moved to reveal a door that blended in quite well, the only problem was the small gash that was the handle I had to pull on.

I pulled the door open and stepped into the dark. I looked to my right, to see the lantern's glass reflect off the sun's warm rays from the little cubby in the wall next to me. I grabbed it and felt around for the packs of matches that were also in the cubby.

When I found a pack, I took out the match and lit the lantern expertly.

Holding up the now glowing object, I looked around, not moving. I was at the top of the stairs. I hesitantly walked down them, looking around for any extra doors, or any other cubbies.

When I reached the bottom I held up the lantern, looked around again. Nothing but scrolls, books and chairs. Wait… there was one small table with nothing but books around, and on top of it.

I blinked and rubbed my eyes.

Were these all of the important ones? If not, was there another room around here somewhere?

'Is is possible that Saiyami might know about the other room. Or if that even exists.' I thought to myself. 'No, she would be too young to even know about this place.' I thought, waving off any hope of that. She was too young.
