Okay, I must be crazy… but I will be writing a HashiMada for you. :D
Why center? Because it's only my left eye that is working, believe or not…
So I have to do the center rather than getting it used to left and stretching to the right.
Welcome to Memories of the Fallen and I hope you'll like it.
Disclaimer: I do not wish to own Naruto but I can shapeshift to Kishi-chan-sama for you! (You know I'm joking.)
If I own Naruto, people will start haunting me because there is not much pairings in it. Why? They'll cry.
Warnings: I don't know what may come. Just remember I warned you about it.

Summary: A small girl he doesn't know wants to play a game with him. He hesitates for she didn't say what it is about. But the prize is his brother's memories, can he even say no? (Know more? Click the title.) HashiMada. XP
The summary sucks, I know.
===/\\\===
"Hello, Brother." A small girl in a white dress walks in front of him.
He scowls at the girl, "Who are you? Don't call me Brother."
"Let's play a little game."
"I'm not interested in children games."
"Then I'll make you interested…"
"How?"
"Watch me… and watch out, Brother."
Memories of the Fallen
Rei Haruno
Chapter 1: Losing You
Shifting right and left, his dark eyes read through pages of thesis work, trying to find any errors in the document.
His hand crawls at the table, reaching his mug of coffee since he does not bother to look away from the monitor.
He succeeds and grabs the mug to sip some more… however, it has been emptied.
He stares at the mug and growls. He calls, "Izu!"
"Coming!" a voice yells from outside the dark room. The door creaks open and the lights turn on, "What about it, Brother?"
"Can you get me another mug of coffee?" He raises the mug without looking at the person concealing himself behind the door.
"But it's your fourth one tonight!" The guy walks in and gets the mug from his brother, "I think you should rest up now. You're tired."
"Graduation day is not within my reach, Izu. Just get me some coffee." He insists and continues to review the document.
Izu snatches the mouse and saves then closes the document. The brother is about to complain but Izu smiles, "Come on, Brother."
The other guy curses under his breath and Izu shuts down the computer. He says before leaving, "Good night."
The lights turn off…
"After that, you woke up only to know your brother's not home?" A long-haired man asks before sipping coffee from his plastic cup.
"Right." The brother agrees and continues to type at the laptop above his desk.
They are at their classroom and everyone is busy with their own theses and the brother couldn't just waste time to look for his brother.
"He's old enough to be going out without permission, anyway." He reasons out.
"You're the worst brother in history, Mada-chan." The guy takes another sip and the brother shoots his head up to glare at the guy.
"It's Madara. Do not dare to call me Mada—"
"And if I do, Mada-chan?"
"Fuck you, Senju Hashirama." Madara responds and nails his eyes and attention to the thesis he's doing.
He doesn't have the luxury of time to argue with Hashirama and so he better leaves it be before it gets much worse than his unfinished thesis.
"I dropped off by your house a while ago." A female voice earns the attention of the two men and so they look at the newcomer.
It is a beautiful maiden and she has worry written all over her face as she sits at the vacant seat beside Madara, "I didn't see Izuna."
"He's out. I don't know where he has gone to." Madara answers her and the girl looks at Hashirama.
"Maybe he'll be home later, Mito." Hashirama says and Mito gazes at the door, "I hope so. And yes!"
She fishes for two boxes inside her bag and gives it to the two, "Here. I made them for you."
They open the boxes and Madara closes his at the instant and tries to give it back to her, "I don't eat sweets, Uzumaki."
They are nine pieces of bite-size teddy bear face cookies glazed with white chocolate.
"It's not sweet, Madara-kun. I tried to decrease the sweetness as much as I can." Mito takes the box and opens it to get one.
"Please try it, Madara-kun." She puts the bear's face near Madara's like making him try it. However, Madara scowls at its weird smiling face.
The other students start to chatter. One says, "Tch. Why does Uchiha always play hard to get. Does he know it doesn't really look good on guys?"
"Maybe he's gay, don't you think?"
"Thank you." Hashirama giggles and eats one piece of the cookie as Madara takes the bear and the box even against his will, "Fine."
He begins to murmur to himself when Mito talks to Hashirama about something the Uchiha is not interested about.
"This is why I wanted to graduate already."
===/\\\===
"Then we'll just be thinking about the defense itself." Hashirama says and Mito agrees. Madara sighs as an answer, though.
The classes are over and the three manages to be a step closer to graduation. They are on their way to the cafeteria to get some chow when…
"Yuko!" a guy yells and earns everybody's gaze. He is with a girl who is kneeling at the hallway. He tries to get her attention but she won't budge.
Everyone chatters and then she collapses, falling lifeless at the floor.
Concerned students try to wake her up and take her to the nurse room.
"What happened to Ishikawa?" Mito gives a worried look and Hashirama puts his arm around Madara's neck, "Thinking so much about thesis?"
"…" Madara glares at the other guy and takes off the arm, "Funny."
===/\\\===
An agitated sigh comes from his mouth and he has to go home WITH those two other persons.
Well, Madara is never someone who would go out with other people.
They see Izuna standing at the front of the gates and Madara calls, "Izu? Izu!" He runs to the guy and Izuna turns to him.
"… Who… Who are you?"
Madara slows down and walks to Izuna, "What are you talking about, Izu? Are you drunk? Get inside."
He takes Izuna's arm and they walk inside the house… as well as Mito and Hashirama.
The brother drags the younger one to the lounge and the two can't help but to get amused… of how clean yet unorganized the place is.
"Where have you been, Izu?" Madara crosses his arms at his chest and then hisses at the other two, "And what are you doing here!"
"Huh?" Izuna answers as he cocks his head to the side, "But I just found myself… at the… park?"
"What are you doing at the park? Why didn't even tell me you're going there?"
"You left the door open so we came in, Mada-chan."
"I didn't say you can come in. Don't call me Mada-chan."
"Huh? I don't even who you are."
"Uchiha Izuna! What—!"
"We don't need your permission."
"Yes, you do."
"That's my name?"
"Yes, that's my— I mean your name."
"You're changing your name so I won't call you Mada-chan anymore?"
"It's a mistake!"
"Then what's yours?"
"Mada—"
"Call him, Mada-chan."
"Shut up, Senju."
"Mada-chan? That's cute."
"Izu!"
"See, your brother likes it."
"Sen—"
"Wow. But it sounds girly."
"I—"
"He can be a girl."
"Se—"
"That's really cute!"
"Fucking shut up, Senju Hashirama!" Madara yells and Hashirama just resorts to smile a teasing one at him.
Mito restrains her giggles and Izuna starts to smile cutely at Madara.
"Silence at last." Madara closes his eyes to avoid the view of their stupid faces. He opens his eyes and fixes up his cool composure, "Hey, Izu."
The guy looks and his brother asks, "Why do you sound like you don't know anything?"
"… I just felt I knew this place… I'm not really sure. But you said we're brothers and I think this is what they call… home?"
"Can liquor erase memories?" Madara slaps his face and Mito asks Izuna, "Do you remember something else? Before you found yourself at the park?"
Izuna twitches and drops his head… he then raises it and says, "I was walking at a dark alley… then something—" he stops…
He feels like something is rising from his head and it hurts. He winces and the pain continues to grow stronger.
"Arghhh!" He gets on his knees with both hands trying to squeeze his head to stop the pain.
Madara then twitches and suffers from panic… which has frozen him before the screaming teen.
Mito tries to talk to Izuna but he goes on screaming. Hashirama tries as well but nothing is going on.
Izuna screams… cries in pain… squalls in horror and fear…
'Shit. Madara, do something!' He tells himself but he is too scared to move… seeing what Izuna is going through…
He doesn't even know why Izuna is having a very destructive migraine.
He calls from his trembling voice as he grabs the teen's shoulder, "Izu… Izuna!"
The guy collapses and they manage to catch him. Madara shakes him, "Hey! Izu, wake up!"
"I think we should let him rest first." Mito says and Madara carries Izuna bride-style and takes the guy in his own room.
===/\\\===
"Satoshi! Here!" a female's voice calls from nowhere and everything has been black.
"Coming!" images of a running couple at a beach flashes slowly… and grows faster in split seconds.
Then another set of images of the guy having sex with another girl flashes in the same manner.
"Satoshi… how could you do this to me?"
"Yuko… I… I don't love you anymore…"
"Satoshi, how dare you…"
A blinding light wakes up Izuna and he finds himself at his room, or so he guessed it to be his. His eyes move around to see anyone.
He sees Madara sleeping, elbow on the table and chin at his hand. How peaceful, he thought.
Then he sees Hashirama taking pictures… of course, to piss Madara off later. Sweet, he smiles.
Then Mito comes in the room and Hashirama stops taking photos and he takes the tray she holds.
He places it above the side drawer and Mito smiles upon seeing Madara's peacefully sleeping state.
"He seems to be very relieved about the thesis. It'll drive him insane again to think that his baby brother just had amnesia, don't you think, Izuna?"
"Mito-san." Izuna sits up and Mito has this disheartened look. She is expecting at least the normal Sis Mi-chan.
Hashirama takes a cup and sips after he says, "Mada-chan will surely die if ever you admit you have forgotten everything about him."
"Hashirama-san…" Izuna calls but not the usual Hashi-bro but even so he turns to hear the question, "You really like my brother, don't you?"
He suddenly chokes and Mito seems to be caught off-guard. Izuna smiles…
No one notices that the hot coffee showers at Madara's face. He opens an eye carefully…
"Me? And Madara? No way, Izuna." Hashirama says in a flustered voice… trying to hide the blush in his cheeks.
It's the first time he acted such… since it's the first time somebody commented on his behavior around Madara.
Mito, the homophobic one, looks at Madara and then to Hashirama, "You're… together?"
"Fuck." Madara whispers and Hashirama scratches his head, "I'm just pissing your brother off, Izuna. It's not like I like him or we're together."
Mito hums her unconvinced state and Izuna apologizes.
Saved! Yay for Hashirama…
Izuna then beams at Madara, "Brother! You're awake!"
"How long have you been awake!" Hashirama panicked again… well, less obvious than a while ago.
Madara grabs a stuffed toy from Izuna's table (there's a stuffed toy at the table?) and throws it Mito, "That's for thinking that I'm with that stupid guy."
"Ouw!" She protests but then offers him a towel, noticing the split coffee at his face.
Izuna suddenly remembers about his dream… but decides to keep it to himself, 'What is that? Who are they?'
===/\\\===
Shocking news has circulated the school and it's about Ishikawa Yuko who passed away yesterday because of car accident.
And it's been said that she haunts the school's locker room.
However, being a man of science, Madara doesn't believe those things… but maybe, there's another reason…
It is already class hours but Madara forgot something in his lockers. He comes to the so-called haunted place to get it.
He opens his locker and looks for the fucking book as he calls it. He finds it and a sudden sound rings around the place.
He looks around and sees no one… so nothing should have done the noise.
He drops it and walks away from his locker when a locker opens on its own behind him.
He twitches and hesitates to fling to the swinging locker door. But then he walks up to it and closes it.
"Satoshi…" she calls and it sends chills to the Uchiha's spine.
He quickly looks around, losing the cool composure. Oh, how he hates GHOSTS! No one knows how much he hates them!
"I-Ishikawa? Is that you?" he calls… and it sounds really stupid to him, communicating with a— "Uchiha."
He takes it back… ghosts exist. Now what? No, he can't be running like a crybaby… depending on the situation.
"Uchiha." Now Yuko is chanting for his surname and he has to lose her QUICK!
Initial reaction.
RUN, BABY! RUN!
He runs as fast as he could… keeping the very terrified scream to himself.
Yes, he's an Uchiha. A master of hiding emotions, or so he thought.
He has reached the classroom and luckily the teacher is not there yet.
Still bound to what happened a while ago, Madara walks stiffly and sits down like… 'No, nothing happened, Madara.' He tells himself.
'You didn't hear Ishikawa ghost calling you.' He convinces himself some more.
Yuko and Madara used to be classmates and seatmates last year. Of course she knows him… well, not the fact that she freaked him out.
"Hey, Mada-chan?" Hashirama snaps before Madara. He didn't notice Hashirama is talking to him.
He twitches and looks at Hashirama. Ah, eyes of a scared child who is not letting the cat out the bag. NEVER, it's too embarrassing.
Hashirama laughs out loud and then restrains the sudden burst of laughter.
The class looks at the two and Madara decides to shoot his head down… covering the blush of extreme embarrassment.
The class stops staring and Hashirama says despite the laughter that can cause hiccups, "What happened? Looks like you've seen a ghost!"
Seen? No, he hasn't seen the ghost. He recovers from everything and equips his cool composure, "Drop it. It's nothing."
"Come on, it's not cute." The guy pinches Madara's cheek and he, well unintentionally, bites Hashirama's finger.
"Ouw!" Hashirama pulls his finger away and the teacher forcedly coughs, "We're starting class. Leave the flirtation for later."
The class either giggles or chatters. Madara glares at Hashirama, "Get away from me or I'll eat you alive… literally."
Talk about the nice day Izuna wished for him.
Have a nice day, my ass.
[End of Chapter 1]
Okay. Sorry for not posing the creepy side for now. We have to start bright somehow.
I love Madara… and I know he doesn't deserve to be humiliated like this.
Madara turns out to be comical… I just love comical guys. (I'll turn him into one since he's NOT like that in the anime or manga.)
And the great founder (alongside Madara) of Konoha and the Shodaime Hokage, Senju Hashirama, deserves respect!
Not something like this! How dare me! Omp! O_O
I'm probably freaking both of them out but the thing is… THIS IS FANDOM, BABY! Nothing defies FANDOM!
Ahem…
Next chapter… I will start the horror juices…
Lovingly His, Rei Haruno.
