"I know," the redhead whispered. "But I'll always protect you, baby. No matter what... even if it kills me, I'll protect you." He kissed her ever so softly, holding her face in his hands. She placed her hands gently on his pierced chest and their lips melted together even more. "I love you," he whispered. He only showed emotion for her... no one else deserved it.
"I love you too," she whispered, crying softly. He gently kissed away her tears and held her close. "We'll fight him to the death," she whispered, barely audible in fear that the one they speak of could hear them. But no... he was on a mission with Deidara, the blonde with an explosive anger (no pun intended.)
"Everything will work out fine," Pein whispered into Konan's ear, pulling her onto his chest as they lay down. "If we die... at least we died for a purpose: peace." He held her as she started crying more. "Calm down, love," he whispered soothingly.
"That's all Yahiko ever wanted, Nagato." Konan looked up at him, her golden-brown eyes watery. "All he wanted was peace. And he died for it... where's the peace in that?" She buried her face in his chest as his fingers softly combed through her dark blue hair. "I miss him," her voice broke as she thought of the man who was like a brother to both of them.
"I miss him too," Pein said, closing off his voice slightly to stop the breaking he knew there would be. "But like Yahiko... we'll die fighting for our peace," he whispered. "One last night together?" he whispered in her ear. She looked at him and kissed him gently, but deeply. Pein's shirt fell to the floor as Konan silently closed the door.
-The next day-
"Come to betray me?" a deep voice mocked from the shadows. "You two forget one thing..." Madara's face appeared from the shadows, fierocity evident in his red eyes. "I know everything."
Pein guarded Konan, who looked surprised. "He's coming for you," Pein whispered frantically. "I have to keep you safe."
"Too late," Madara said mockingly. "She's mine."
"Nagato!" Konan screamed in fear before she was sent into Madara's dimension.
"KONAN!" Nagato screamed. His Rin'negan flared and a cold aura came around him. "You'll pay for this, you damned Uchiha." He sent a hateful glare at Madara, who just chuckled.
"Is that supposed to frighten me?" the Uchiha ancestor mocked coldly. "Get ready, Nagato." Madara gained a battle stance before he disappeared from sight.
"Where...? Above!" Pein blocked a kick from Madara, forcing chakra through his arm to keep from getting any broken bones. He called upon all of his power. Running from the scene, he felt Madara's chakra following him... Pein ran to a large opening in the forest and stood there.
"Given up?" Madara sneered before freezing. He felt Pein's chakra building and his eyes widened. "...This is..." he started to run away, but he couldn't in time.
"Chibaku Tensei!"
