Going Back to You (A Madara Uchiha fanfiction)

Chapter 4- Marriage

Hi~ Chapter 4!

~~~~~Chapter 4- Marriage~~~~~

Nao's POV

"M-madara?" I muttered. I could clearly see that he was annoyed. His eyebrows were scrunched up together and his narrowed at me intimidatingly. I took a step back and gulped. Why was his sharingan activated? Was he going to attack me?

I sighed in a relief when I saw his expression soften a bit while he deactivated his sharingan. "Nao," he said. I felt butterflies in my stomach when he called out my name. Who was I kidding earlier? I'm clearly falling in love with him. I sighed again.

"What?" I asked.

"Where were you?" he growled.

"Can't you see? I'm here. I thought Uchihas were..smart?" I said sarcastically.

He popped an anime vein. "Well, while you were relaxing here, the old hag kept screaming in our ears to find you. Izuna and some men looked around and couldn't find you. Seriously, if I become deaf, it's your fault."

I just sweatdropped. Then silence... The silence was suffocating, and as I was going to say something, he spoke.

"I'm sorry," he apologized.

"For what?" I asked. "Shouldn't I be the one apologizing? I mean, old lady Chiyoko is--"

"For stopping you from making friends," he continued. My eyes widened and I looked at him curiously. I've heard rumors about Madara being cold and emotionless, but hearing him apologize made me smile. He just looked at me and spoke again. "You can make friends, just don't make one from the Senju. You can't trust them, especially now that you're going to be married to me," he said. He started to explain to me the history of the Senju and the Uchiha, and I realized my foolishness.

I didn't look him in the eye. "I'm sorry," I spoke weakly, "for lashing out at you." Then for some reason, I found the courage to look him in the eye now. "You shouldn't have apologized to me, and you have every right to be angry."

"Well, now that you understand, then it's okay. You didn't know. Now, don't even think of approaching them, you hear me?!" he commanded.

Just when I thought that he was being gentle...I sighed and smiled at him. "Yes, sir."

"You're not as stubborn as I thought."

"Hn."

*slap*

"Just where were you?!" shouted Lady Chiyoko. I looked at her while holding my red cheek. "Don't you know how worried you made me? I mean, you might've gotten lost, got in a fight with someone, and get killed!" she cried with tears leaving her eyes.

My eyes slightly widened at her words. She was worried? "Lady Chiyoko," I said softly with a smile. Although it was really exaggerated, I never thought that she'd do that. I had always wanted to make the clan elders and my clan members proud, but I've always thought they hated me..

The next thing I knew, she hugged me, and I hugged back. "I'm sorry," she said and let go. I looked at her for a moment, and she had this guilty look on her face.

"For what?" I asked, confused.

"For forcing this marriage on you," she said. "It would be tough on you, but this is what's best for the clan. We need strong allies, and the Uchiha are just that."

I shook my head. "It's okay. I can do this since you all trust me so much!" I said with a small laugh.

She smiled and my eyes widened. This was the first time she smiled at me! "You know, Nao, I've always thought of you as my granddaughter, and I'm sure that you're precious to our other clan members as well," she said.
