Hello, This will be one of my first and most recent works I will work on for now. There is a few things you as the reader must know (details) of the story and warnings which are-

Details: I had this idea to write this story a while back, it was not so long ago that I began writing it down, liking the original plot I had in mind. The prologue will start short but the chapters will be long.

First things first: This is an AU, if you don't like AU's this story probably wont be for your liking. However, the characters that I will be using (some mentioned) will remain true to themselves. The setting is Present day Japan with some modifications. What happens in the Naruto Manga does not always affect my plot. At times, it could or even inspire an event. I will keep characters as In character as possible (some will still be ooc just because I don't know much of them or for the sake of the story line, as well as circumstances)

Second: This story will have Yaoi! you have been warned! Box x Boy, don't like, don't read. It's that simple. In fact the central pairing is Yaoi, there will be other Yaoi pairings and some Hetero as well. As for the Rating, it will start of T, if it feels to me like I want it to be M, I will raise it. But for now, T sounds safe.

Third: Izuna Uchiha is a girl, she is gender swapped for the plot purposes, you will see why later on. There will be other gender swapped characters, such as Sasuke Uchiha, again for convenience to the story. There will be mentioned pairings as well as hinted pairings.

Fourth: I will try not to use many OC because I know it throws of the reader at times, but I will use only a few for my story line only, not protagonist ocs though.

Fifth: Again, this has NOTHING to do with the Naruto story/ anime/ manga. My own idea so the Uchiha we all know of are all close relatives. The age differences in my characters are not like the real Naruto (Madara's not 50 years older than Sasuke) and of course the clan is not murdered. I will try to use as many characters as I can to make this more interesting (even if only mentioned) but of course I will decide what they will be, their age, and such.

Sixth: Since I am a fellow HashiMada shipper and I know one of the greatest questions asked in the beginning of any fanfiction involving the two as a pair is: "Will there be a happy ending?" while there is few happy ending stories involving these two (so much angst), I will let you know that the story begins with a slow pace and very sad, however the ending most likely will end up happy.

Okay, well that's a wrap I think and oh before I forget!

Disclaimer: The Naruto manga/anime/story is not mine, never will be, it belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. (Although if it was, damn Madara would still live) The plot however, is still mine. Read and Enjoy! constructive criticism would be most welcomed

Prologue

He remains still, motionless. He is standing in his sister's now abandoned room. Staring at it thoroughly as if it could reveal the way to get her back. He doesn't know what to say, he doesn't know how to react, what exactly he has to feel. Anger? Frustration? Rage? He doesn't know how he should feel. What he does know, though, is that his younger sister has ran away. She most likely had escaped the house in the morning, he dryly thought. "How? Why? When?" He could ask the two distressed maids that were now near him. Yet he knows the answer all too well, so he saves the questions.

Despite it was his parents who were Izuna's true legal guardians, Madara still felt ultimately responsible, guilty, and his worries never seemed to cease. He doesn't comprehend why Izuna would ever do this, why she would ever defy him, why she would one day to the other crazily hatch this idea and go with it. But she did. That much was enough to swell the elder's heart in his chest.

Still holding the letter she left on top of her bed, clinging to it like it was the remaining part of his sanity. He reread it, adding to it another time read, five times already. He didn't even bother to read it correctly or carefully anymore. That said letter read:

"Dear Aniki:

I am so sorry for doing this to you and causing you so much trouble. If you read this letter, you should know that I have left already. I'm so sorry but I've never asked much of you, only this one time I will ask you to let me go and let me be. I will return at once when I am done with this duty. So do not worry about me. Until we meet again, you have the right to scold me all day long and give me the world's greatest lecture of all. But for now, just think about you, okay? Love you forever,

Izuna Uchiha"

The note itself was so agonizing to the elder that held it so close that he could almost taste the paper. He examined every single word and the highlighted ones most. Izuna highlighted the most important words to emphasize his point, however, Madara couldn't seem to care. The meaning of the letter was so hurtful to him and seemed rebellious. What frightened him most was the 'Love you forever' it sounded almost like a farewell parting for good.

What if she never planned to come back? What if someone hurt her? What if she's starving outside? What if a man tries to- NO! He couldn't sit by idly and let anyone touch his precious sister. He will most definitely bring her back at all costs. He took off the Uchiha residence Izuna, his mother, father and he lived in. He made his resolve and it was the clearest of all things that had just insanely happened. Izuna Uchiha will come back, Madara Uchiha would make certain of that. He felt the sun's warm heat slightly touching his milky skin. It was truly mocking him: how beautiful the day was and how terribly awful he felt…

That was it for the beginning, nice and short. What did you think? I already have chapter 1 written just need to type it. I would like to receive a review to encourage me to continue faster. At least one, so I can know someone is reading my story and is enjoying it. That I am making someone smile.

a/n: I probably won't get to update too fast, but if I get reviews, I will try my hardest. Thank you wonderful reader~
