Madara's POV (in Obito's body)
Later in the night, Valentina came up to me.
"We need to talk", she said.
"I don't see what I could possibly talk to you about", I said uninterested.
She pinned me to a tree with a strength I didn't know she had.
"Not to you. To Obito ", she told me.
"Stop talking, woman", I told her.
I saw her do some hand jutsus similar to Kabuto's.
A coffin emerged from the ground. The lid fell off and revealed a young brown-haired girl with purple stripes across her cheeks.
Who...is ... this.....?
A sudden sharp pain to my skull dropped me to the ground, and everything went black.
(Obito back in his body now))
I opened my eyes and scanned my surroundings. I was in the woods at night with Valentina in front of me.
Before I could ask what was wrong I saw a coffin sinking into the ground.
"Valentina what is going on ?", I asked her.
"You've destroyed every possibility for me to be happy", she said. "When i was only a kid you put me under your sharingan genjutsu so I could believe it was Itachi telling me to run away. It was you who got me killed", she continued as she began to take out her katana.
I dodge her attacks.
"And you're here living your best life kissing Madara's ass so he can put us all in that genjutsu".
I grabbed her pulling her towards me.
"Valentina please listen. I wanted to guide you somewhere safe. I never thought someone would have killed you on the way", I said leaning to kiss her.
She pushed me away.
"Zetsu told me everything, Obito ", she said.
I froze in place at the sound of her saying my real name. How much does she know?
I leaned in and tried to kiss her again but she took a step away from me.
I grabbed her face and pressed my lips against her, but she pushed me away with all her strength.
"Why put me under a genjutsu? Why didn't you just tell me that it was you instead of letting me believe it was Itachi coming to my room", she asked me.
"How would you have trusted me if you were in love with Itachi??", I asked grabbing her arms.
She looked down as if trying really hard to process all of this.
"I won't help you anymore", she finally said after a long pause. "You're weird doing all this war just to be with someone who is already dead!"she freed herself from my grip.
Valentina's POV
I gave him my back and began to walk away holding back my tears.
I loved Itachi but the thought of masked man....Obito.... playing with my feelings, flirting with me, kissing me, just so I could help him put everyone in a genjutsu hurt my feelings. Everyone including himself just to be with a dead girl.
"Are you not understanding?!", I felt him grabbing my arms again and turning me to face him. "If you help me you're going to finally be able to be with Itachi!", he yelled at me and suddenly let go of me grabbing his head. As if it hurt.
I didn't say anything and looked away as I felt tears escape my eyes. I felt hurt and overwhelmed. I didn't know what to say or do.
"Look at me", he said grabbing my jaw as he began activating his sharingan.
"No please", I said scared as I desperately tried to let go of his grip. "Please Obito. No more sharingan illusions. No more lies."
I was scared. The 13-year-old child in me who was forced to grow up overnight was screaming and crying inside of me. No more sharingan illusions. No more lies.
"Please. I won't hurt you", he whispered leaning close to my face. If if weren't for his mask, his lips would be brushing my cheek.
I opened my eyes and looked at him. I wanted to believed that the pain he caused me was not intentional. I wanted to believe that this man won't hurt me again. I stared at his eyes and I felt him touch my face.
"Good. In this sharingan illusion, you will see your deepest desires. I won't control it. What you see is what you truly want", I felt his voice guide me through a void of darkness.
Pitch black around me. I couldn't even see my hand in front of me. That's how dark it was in here.
So this is what I truly want? Nothing? Emptiness. Darkness. Loneliness. Maybe eternal peace? I will die during the war after all.
I blinked again and I was suddenly laying next to Itachi.
His crimson eyes met mine. His hand reached to touch my face.
"Valentina", he spoke.
I couldn't speak or even think. The only thing I felt was his hand on my face and my heart in my throat.
His kisses began to travel down to my stomach and I looked up at the ceiling. A light so white similar to the sun in a snowy day in winter.
Then the mattress turned into cold snow and I felt a tremendous
amount of pain on my bare back. Like getting burned.
His kisses began to travel up again from my stomach and I rubbed his bare back.
My eyes met with a sharingan and rinnegan.
Obito.
His mask was halfway lifted revealing a smirk upon his lips. A playful one.
And I smiled back at him.
He began to lift his mask up causing me to quickly close my eyes.
I don't know how this man looks nor I care. I have feelings for him.
Our lips touched again.
I awoke from the illusion gasping for air. Night had fallen and it took several seconds for my vision to adjust to the darkness.
My eyes landed on Obito who was laying on the floor. Passed out for most of the night. Or maybe dead. I didn't check.
I was too busy crying over how confused I was about my feelings.
I was developing strong feelings for Obito. The villain of the story. The man that fooled me and got me killed when I was a child.
After hours he opened his eyes. When they met mine, they showed no love or interest for me.
I walked behind him back to the lair, keeping my distance.
We arrived and Raye and Zetsu were already outside talking. She turned to look at me but her smile still didn't vanish. Like if she knew that Obito was with me, but it didn't bother her. Because either way in the morning, Madara would wake up, instead of Obito, and he would always return to her.
"My love", she kissed him in front of me. Him being able to be loved by someone else while the man I loved was dead.
"I had been talking to the other members", Sasuke said coming outside. "And we all have come to the agreement of sending Valentina to Konoha."
I hated how he used my real name and how he felt he could control what I do and what I don't do.
"Of course, all I need is for you to agree, Madara."
"Yes of course ", Madara said looking away as soon as we made eye contact.
My heart dropped to my stomach. Obito had promised me that I wasn't going to go back to konoha. I didn't want to leave to Konoha AGAIN. This time I would get caught and killed for being a spy.
