Otsutsuki - Tobirama/Madara

[ BETRAYAL ]

Yukiko whipped around, just as the dark blue flags of the Uchiha began appearing over the hills surrounding them.

They had brought their whole army.

She could feel Tobirama's shock and possibly fear as she tried to hold in her own, summoning her truthseeker orbs as she glared at the Uchiha surrounding them.

"Madara!" Hashirama shouted from somewhere near them as Yukiko's heart skipped a beat the name she hadn't heard for months, her eyes roaming she tried to find him in the sea of dark-haired male.

There he stood, smack-dab in the center as he pointed his gunbai at Hashirama, his Mangekyou flashing dangerously.

"This will be the end for you, Hashirama!"

"Tobi! At this rate......" Yukiko hissed as Tobirama gave a small nod.

"Yeah......we're outnumbered. They got us."

Madara suddenly glanced in their direction, shooting Tobirama a fearsome glare turning to look at her. His glare slowly faded before he was soon merely staring at her, his face a blank slate as she stared back, unable to look away.

Tobirama let out a low growl when he noticed this as he stepped in front of her protectively, cutting off their little staring contest as the two men glared heatedly at each other.

"CHARGE!!!"

The battle began.

——————-

Yukiko had no idea of how many Uchiha she had felled as she continued to use her orbs as a means of attack and defense at the same time. Her chakra levels were running dangerously low as the fight had been going on for a good amount of time now. Add that to the fact of them not even having anytime to rest after the previous battle ; there is a very high chance of them losing this one.

Even in her exhaustion, she tried to protect Tobirama the best he could, and he the same with her as they constantly kept an eye on each other.

Yukiko had just managed to push another Uchiha back, panting harshly as she tried to assess Tobirama's location - only for her eyes to widen at what she saw.

Izuna was charging towards him, preparing to impale him with a sword from behind as his sharingan blazed hatefully.

Yukiko had started running even without herself knowing of it, never stopping to think on how or why Izuna was on the battle field, nor the fact that he should never have been able to use his sharingan again after that incident.

All she could see was Tobirama falling right before her eyes if she didn't get there in time.

Tobirama, who had also turned to check on her, let out a shout in horror as he rushed over to Yukiko, of whom was running straight into Madara, who stood unmoving in front of her.

"YUKIKO!!!!"

It was too late.

Yukiko crashed right into Madara, just as the genjutsu dissipated before her eyes as Madara held her to him while whispering out a single word.

"Release."

"W-what is - ARGHHHHH!!!!" Yukiko let out a shout at the blooming pain on her neck as the magatama Tobirama had gifted to her a few months ago began wrapping black seals around her body.

Madara watched this all unfold silently, holding her to him as she continued to writhe in his arms as Tobirama struggled to get close to her, trying his best to fend off any Uchiha that approached him as his crimson eyes stared at her helplessly.

He pushed enough chakra into himself to activate the flying thunder god seal he had placed on Yukiko's wrist, flashing next to her as he tries to kick Madara away from her, only for him to jump back, still holding onto her in his arms as Yukiko was now merely groaning in pain, the seals finally locked tightly around her.

"You took her from me. She was never yours in the first place you damn Senju! All of you are just greedy, pathetic fools who love to steal from others! I'll never forget what you have done - almost killing my brother and now, fighting against me for her affections!" Madara snarled as he held onto Yukiko by the head, a smirk overtaking his features as Tobirama began running towards him yet again, a horrible feeling chilling him in the bones.

"But now......."

Madara turned back to look at her, his Mangekyou spinning hypnotisingly as Yukiko suddenly went limp in his arms, prodding Tobirama to run with all he had towards the woman he loved.

The woman he had sworn to protect.

The woman of whom was his everything.

The woman, who was now in Madara's arms.

He felt time itself slow when Yukiko turned to look at him, her sharingan mirrorring Madara's as Madara placed a kunai in her open left palm, just as the seals began to unravel from her body.

She rushed forward.

"Yukiko! You're - !!!!"

The tip of the kunai was all he saw seconds later as wooden tendrils wrapped themselves tightly around Yukiko's arms and legs, immobilising her as Yukiko let out a grunt at the bindings.

Hashirama landed beside Tobirama, who was still frozen in shock at the fact that Yukiko had tried to kill him.

Madara too, landed beside Yukiko and easily did away with the wooden bindings, pulling her to his side once he was done as she obediently complied to his actions, placing a hand on his chest before resting her head on it.

Tobirama felt nauseous at the sight of betrayal before him.

It felt as if someone had grabbed hold of his heart and began squeezing it, never letting go as he stared at her with only what could be described as hurt in his orbs.

"Why?" he whispered as Yukiko didn't even turn around to look at him whilst Madara replied in her stead.

"I always take back what's mine Senju. And that includes Yukiko." he paused for awhile before continuing on, letting a feral grin appear as he said the next words:

"I must thank you for giving her that necklace......it's made things so much easier."
