Otsutsuki - Tobirama/Madara

GUILT

Tobirama POV

"Begin!" I heard aniki shout as she suddenly dashed towards me, challenging me to Taijutsu. I wouldn't say I was strong in it, but neither was I weak as I met her blow for blow. Having had time to conjure up a decent amount of chakra, I jumped back before beginning to weave through the signs.

"Water Style: Water Cannon!"

"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"

That jutsu.....I've seen Madara use it on the battlefield countless times. Was she the one who taught Madara that jutsu too?

Smoke covered the grounds as I quickly pulled out multiple kunai before flicking them towards the direction I gauged she would be in. I then flickered in front of her unguarded form, pushing the kunai against her neck as I declared my victory.

"That was a good move but..." a voice suddenly echoed from the trees as the Yukiko standing in front of me suddenly disappeared. 'A clone?!' I barely had time to think before I felt my whole body go stiff.

"Shadow possession.....success." I heard Yukiko say as I struggled against an invisible force that was keeping me grounded. I could hear aniki laughing loudly as Yukiko apologized for doing what she did, though I didn't blame her for her actions - anything could happen in a battle after all, it was my fault for letting my guard down after I thought victory was in sight.

She had then ran to catch up to aniki, who was walking away from us to go back home. I could feel my cheeks getting surprisingly hot as I stared at her slim form in my clothes. She looked.....cute......in them....

Wait, what on earth was I thinking?!

I quickly smacked my head to get rid of these thoughts when I heard shouting from up ahead. "Tobi-chan!"

I could hear my brother's snickering - even all the way from here.

"T-t-t-t-obi c-chan?!" I stuttered out at the horrible name as Yukiko flashed me a bright grin.

'Aniki...!!!'

"Come on Tobi-chan! You're walking so slowly you know? Want me to carry you?" Yukiko teased as I felt the blush coming in full force as I tried my best to keep a straight face.

"Don't call me that! And this is the speed of which I usually walk at." I countered as Yukiko slowed down to match my pace. I looked at her in confusion as she just continued smiling at me. "Say Tobi-chan, why is your face getting so red? Do you have a fever? Are you feeling alright?" she suddenly asked as she pulled me down to her height before pushing her forehead against mine.

Our eyes locked as I felt her smooth hands caress my face gently as she looked at me with eyes full of concern.

Why did she care so much for someone who had kidnapped her? Why did she care so much for someone who had almost killed her close friend...and probably even her?

I had no answers to the whirlwind of questions in my head as I slowly detached myself from Yukiko, giving her a small smile. "I'm fine, really. I'm just not used to hot climates." I lied as she looked at me curiously before nodding. I felt a little guilty for lying to her - especially after she sent me another smile.

But why on earth would I feel guilty for lying? I have never had that problem before - ever! Even to my own friends and family.

So what was so different about lying to Yukiko?
