(Author's Note: this is mainly an OCxOC story …it has some characters from canon, but mainly its about the OC's… There is a side pairing of Madara and a different OC, that you might recognize from The Other Mask….sorry to disappoint anybody. I hope you still read this *begs*)

Prologue

Where am I?

Am I dead?

No, I don't think so…

If I was dead then I would be somewhere.

…Right?

My head feels like it has been turned into a pincushion for red-hot nails. I feel burning pains, all around my body…

I can't open my eyes, it seems, so I am surrounded by darkness…it doesn't feel right. Something's off. Of course, I suppose this kind of thing is ALWAYS off. It certainly isn't normal.

I cannot recall how I came to be in this… situation. My memories seem blurry, like someone's messed with my mind too much for me to make sense of all the mess.

Let's see… what do I know about myself?

My name… my name is… Kenna, I think. Senju Kenna. Yes, that sounds right…

Where do I live? ….I can't remember…a village, perhaps? With my family? Do I have family?

Yes, I think I do… but who are they? I think I have a brother…no, two brothers… one with brown hair, and one with white…but what are their names? …Hashirama….Tobirama…yes, I remember now. My older brothers…

Where are they? What happened? This is so frustrating….

I think… I think I ran away…from them…. Why did I do that?

…

…..

…..I remember why I ran away. I don't feel like thinking about it, since whenever I do the burning in my head increases.

Even thinking hurts…

All of a sudden, the darkness surrounding me lifts, and for the first time in what seems like ages, I am able to open my eyes and see the world around me.

It appears I am outside, and I feel a soft presence under me. Reaching a hand downward, I find out the soft cushion is grass…

I am propped up against a tree, facing a sunny meadow. The grass is a bit tall, and there are lots of flowers…

Huh.

I recognize this place.

It's where I used to go when I was younger, when I wanted to get away from all the stress and business of the clan… and where I met a certain man that has, in ways, changed my life forever.

Which brings me back to the reason why I originally ran away…

My brothers found out that I was in love with a certain man. To put it mildly, they don't like him. In a way, I suppose I understand the reason, but… couldn't they at least try to understand a little bit?

I had tried to reason with them before…

But I know now that that's a futile attempt. There's no way my brothers will ever accept an Uchiha into their family.

Both of our clans...just….

There's no way it will work out. They hate each other. The Senju and the Uchiha will never stop fighting. There's simply too much bad blood between them.

A breeze floats in through the meadow, and I smile. It feels nice against my skin, and it seems to help cool the burning pains I feel.

Wait… why am I having burning pains? I still can't remember… come to think of it, I can't remember coming to this meadow at all… I was simply running away from my home…

I look up, and suddenly my heart fills with fear….

"M-Madara…"

He is standing on a branch of the tree I am leaning on, looking down at me with a predatory glance. His sharingan eyes seem to make it look like it is a demon watching me, rather than a man.

"So you finally noticed I was here… My fool of an older brother seems to have exaggerated on your abilities, hasn't he?" His sounded smooth, almost amused. He probably enjoys this…

"Perhaps," is my quiet reply. I mentally slap myself for sounding so weak.

"Ooh, the little Senju girl is scared," he laughs, making me want to scramble away, in fear of the powerful being that stood before me.

I hate being so timid…

"It doesn't matter if you're scared. What matters is that you don't talk."

I raise an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

He grinned. "So it seems you are dim-witted as well. Well, to put it simply, you are coming with me."

He jumps forward, locking his gaze onto me, and suddenly I feel myself go limp. Everything goes black again…

(Second Author's note: So…um…what do you all think? I'm reconsidering the idea of continuing this (I wrote it a long time ago and decided not to publish it), but I don't know if it's a good idea. Some feedback would be nice but no flames, please. If you don't like my story, please tell me in a respectful way…)
