X OUR TRAGEDY X [Senju Tobirama AU]

Chapter 43

~

~Niyo's POV~

I was afraid to open my eyes, even with the little control I had. I dreaded to see what my hands did. After the piercing sound came a loud poof at which I did peek through my closed eyelids. Before I had the time to register what was happening or what had happened, wood erupted from the ground and trapped me in itself, making me unable to move, my sword falling to the ground. Thank goodness.

"Y-yama...naka..." I managed to utter when the control momentarily faltered. "Three...o'clo-"

I didn't have the chance to finish what I was saying but the brothers got my meaning, so did Varg who immediately bolted in the said direction. The woman strengthened her control on me and I hadn't notice it before but her chakra was filled with fear.

"I couldn't finish the job... I must make amends by taking another...or he will take mine..." I heard her mumble to herself, not seeing any image of her being in my mind anymore.

I had a bad feeling about this.

~Tobirama's POV~

Niyo's wolf ran the moment she gave directions and I would have too if not for anija to stop me. He used his mokuton to hold Niyo in place when we found out she was being control. Still, under Yamanaka control she managed to break free for a little time, that was impressive. All the while I looked at her being restrained, it was hard to stand and do nothing. When she thought her sword hit its mark, one tear had escaped her eyes. This was the most disturbed I had ever seen her.

My feet moved on their own towards my wife when blood silently seeped from her mouth and the control wore off from her. I dashed to catch Niyo when the control wore off and anija removed the wooden restraints. I put some of my chakra in her system to check the state of hers and it was not only all over the place but there was a huge deficit and addition at the same time.

"Tobirama, leave her to me, go rendezvous with her summon." My brother told me and bent down beside me to take Niyo from my arms, putting her gently on the grass. I didn't make any delay in leaving.

~Hashirama's POV~

"Can you breathe? Blink once for yes." I told Niyo who blinked. "Good." She closed her eyes soon after which was not a good thing. I hurried in surveying her with my chakra to find what was wrong that she had blood coming out of her mouth. It took me some time to find out what had happened and I had to recheck twice and even then I couldn't believe it. "Did Tobirama know?" I asked.

I regretted asking such a question when the sadness and pain became visible on Niyo's face. She turned her face to hide her tears but her voice told me everything she was trying to hide. "....no."

"I am sorry..." I really was. This ordeal was always sad and painful and I wanted to do everything in my power to reduce that pain so I began healing her. "This will have to run its course but I will heal the remaining damage-"

"Don't tell him... please."

"You have my word."

~Niyo's POV~

"Still you have to tell me what happened when you start to feel better, everything is a mess in here." Hashirama-sama was saying something along these lines when my eyes began to phase in and out, a clear sign of consciousness soon to be lost.

I could hear Tobirama but that seemed so distant and I was lacking the necessary strength and will power to get up for him or even focus my eyes but his white hair lit by the moon gave me some peace before everything went black.

The extreme pain in my lower torso had me sit up and grip whatever it was I was holding, eyes shut tight. I felt some weight on both my shoulders trying to push me back and a mash of voices only added to my irritation. The pain, the pressure, the disorientation was all making me feel really claustrophobic and it took everything in me to hold out as long as I did and when that control was starting to fade, everything that was happening, all the stimuli I was receiving made me angry, to the point that I lost control and sent my chakra out of every tenketsu in sharp needles that would really hurt anyone it came in contact with.

Everything became silent, even the pain. I took the risk of opening my eyes, well tried at least but it seemed like they were glued shut. I felt a slap on my back and as painful as it was, it helped clear out lingering disturbances in my head and also forced my eyes to open.

"Can you hear me?"

I could, so I turned my head in the direction of the voice and found Hashirama-sama with a wooden shield in his hand. I furrowed my brows trying to figure out why that was and remembered I must have been the reason.

Ugh, great.

"Sorry about that..." I managed to say and received a pat on my head. "Where is... Tobirama?" I didn't get an answer but my head was moved in the general direction and I saw Tobirama sleeping near the bed I was on. I was in our room and by the looks of it, it was some time in the evening. My brain was registering things too slowly.

"I won't recommend that you move around a lot. I have healed other damaged but the main one, you will have to bear with in for four weeks or so, I am sorry."

"You have already helped so much, you don't have anything to be sorry for."

"I will arrange lunch for you here, stay in bed." Hashirama-sama said taking his leave. I looked at his brother again and sighed. That idiot was sleeping without a quilt so I tried getting up and succeeded but soon there was another wave of pain. I bore it like a champion, telling myself to get used to it. I took my quilt and spread it over the younger Senju, taking some fresh clothes and going to the bathroom.

What happened was a big stain that needed to be washed.
