DISCLAIMER: I don't own Naruto, Kishimoto-san does.
WARNING: THIS IS FEM!MADARA AND FEM!HASHIRAMA. Yes, they are gender-bent in an AU setting. Don't like, don't read.
"Hey, Mada-chan," A young brunette leaned across the lunch table, whispering not-so-secretly, "Ma- hey! Stop reading! I have something important to tell you!"
Madara glanced above her textbook, eyeing the girl before her. Lush brown hair framed her face, cascading off her shoulders and pooling on the table before her. Hazel eyes, tinged with urgency, met her cool obsidian stare. She smirked lightly, tucking a strand of her coarse black hair behind her ear. "Yes?" Madara asked, her voice laced in mock interest.
Pouting, the brunette pushed down the book and leaned closer. "Maddie, I need to tell you something…like, right now!"
Madara glanced up again, to find the brunette's eyes watering and her bottom lip quivering. Sighing quietly, she placed the book to her side and grasped her saddened friend's hand.
"Hashi, what's the matter?" Glossy hazel eyes blinked away tears as Madara comforted her young companion.
"I…" Hashi could barely contain herself. Her mind spun rapidly, a thousand moments seemingly colliding into one massive memory before her. She felt herself wobble, then collapse into Madara's arms.
Her eyes widened, Madara stared at the girl before her. Hashirama, her best friend, her seemingly strong-willed companion, lay in a crying, withering heap in her arms.
"Hashirama," she whispered, the name escaping her lips like a shallow breeze. Her arm wrapped around Hashi's shoulders, the other snaking underneath her knees. Madara lifted Hashirama bridal-style, carrying her to the closest restroom.
She sat her friend upon the sink, disregarding the fact that it was not menat to be sat on. Madara pulled a strand of hair out of Hashirama's face.
"Talk to me, sweetie," Madara encouraged.
Hashirama sighed to herself. "I don…I don't know how to say it," she begrudgingly admitted.
Madara's brow quirked up. "Say what?" she inquired. Hashirama's chest heaved as she released a heavy sigh.
"I'm pregnant."
