There literally needs to be more Izuna's stories with either a female OC or Female canon character. I love a good Yaoi like the rest of us FF nerds but sometimes I need a good straight couple story.

This applies to Hashirama as well. Not many good Hashirama/Female OC or canon character stories.

So here is my attempt for Izuna/Female OC. Of course it's my ever used character Aurorah. I didn't feel like making a while new Oc for something so short and so that's what Aurorah is for. Shes my all around character who I can literally pair with anyone. Sorry if this bothers you.

I of course base the titles of my stories (And sometimes the chapters) off of songs. So the song used for this story is called - Listen (Ft. John Legend) by David Guetta.

Anyways, enjoy. This story will be rated T till later chapters.

The first time they met, he was being picked on by bullies in school. It was a common occurrence and at the time, he could admit he was frail, girly and cowardly. He relied on his older brother to protect him from others, but that day Madara hadn't been there. That day his brother had been in detention and that left the older boys all the time they needed to make him feel worthless. They would crowd him, poke and prod at his small form, pull the black locks that fell just below his shoulders and tell him he was really just a girl in a boy's body. He was weak and all he had in his little pathetic life was his rich lifestyle he just happened to be lucky enough to be born into.

He never reacted to them, speaking his mind would just encourage them to be more aggressive and he had learned that the hard way. So he stood there, taking in their physical and verbal taunts all the while wishing them the worst.

It was when they pushed him harshly to the ground, that he heard the feral yell of some enraged creature from down the hall. They had stopped in their tracks, eyes wide, afraid they had gotten caught by a teacher. But Izuna was pretty sure no teacher made such an animalistic sound. He was proven right when a red and black blur collided with the bully closest to him. They were sent sprawling on to the ground and Izuna watched transfixed as a small girl, probably only a few years younger then him with scruffy red hair, give the boy who had been previously towering over him an other worldly beating.

Despite what the older kids had done to him, he felt the harsh beating a little too much, especially when blood started to spew from the kid's nose and he was pretty sure those where teeth on the ground. Before a teacher could truly come and find them -where the hell were all the teachers anyways- he picked himself off the ground and hauled the young girl off the battered boy. She fought him, she seemed hell bent on finishing what she started, but he grabbed her hands in his and forced her to face him.

Bright, furious blue eyes meet warm black and he gave a calming smile. "There's no need to kill him." he said softly and this earned him a cute put upon frown. She went to remove her hands but he held firm. So she simply turned to the still shocked group and growled.

"You better take yourself and your stupid friend out of here cuz once I get myself free, I'll fuck you up you hear." her crude language seemed to knock the boys into action and they picked up their bloody friend and hightailed it away.

Once they were truly alone, she huffed and yanked her hands away, placing them on her hips. He was a least a few inches taller than her and he watched amusedly as she stared up at him, her eyes roaming his face. He was a bit uncomfortable to have her so closely examining his face but he was startled when her pout turned into a large grin and he found his own hands encased in hers.

"You shouldn't let people bully you!" she said sternly, giving his hands a shake to make her point. "If I hadn't of come along, who knows what they would have done."

"Not everyone goes around using their fists to solve problems."

"They should, I mean look how fast they ran off…anyways, my name is Aurorah." she chirped, giving his hands another shake.

Izuna blinked. "Izuna Uchiha." he replied.

"An Uchiha huh, well it was nice to meet you Izuna. I should get going before my dad finds out I ditched the waiting room to wander the halls."

"Do you go to school here?" he asked.

She shook her head, "Nope, but my older brother does, his name is Deidara."

Deidara sounded familiar, maybe a friend of his brothers. Madara did hang around a very strange crowd of students and Deidara sounded like one of his friends that he mentioned.

"Anyways, gotta go. Don't let those asshats bully you anymore." she went to leave, skipping merrily down the hall she had come from, before turning around with a silly smile. "I hope we meet again Izu-chan."

She was gone before he could say something about the cutesy nickname she had bestowed him. Considering she just knocked the block off his bullies, he supposed he could let it slide.

The second time they met, he had just arrived to his first day of his second year of college. He was taking business, as was required of him and his brother by their family. They were to take over the family business once they completed college and had a few years of working under their father under their belt. As a second option, he took medical courses, as his desire was to become a doctor, but his parents were pretty firm about him working in the company. It didn't stop him though and he was pretty proud to say he was top in his class.

It was on his way to class the he ran into her. Literally. They were both send flying backwards and he could make out a litany of curses flying from the other person's mouth as a clattering of objects was heard. When he had got his bearings he saw deep crimson hair and bright blue eyes. They sparkled with fury the same as the day they first met.

Two others stood behind her, giggling at her predicament. A blonde whose hair was bound in a half up high ponytail. He was pretty sure it was a male, judging from the more masculine voice. Next to him was a brunette, who, after laughing at the red head, bent down to help her pick up the various things she had dropped.

He snapped out of his thoughts, apologies spewing from his mouth as he too went to help her with her belongings. He held out his hand, silently asking her permission to help her up. She looked up at him, recognition flashing in her eyes before she placed her smaller hand in his and allowed him to help her into a standing position.

"I think I remember you. Izuna right, the kid who was getting picked on at Dei-Dei's school yes?" she said, pointing a ink stained finger at him.

He smiled softly and nodded. He remembered. That day had really prompted him to take a better stand for himself. Madara had been surprised when it seemed he had made a 180 in personality after that day. Not that he wasn't still soft-spoken and kind, but no one was willing to bully him again. Taking mixed martial art classes had been the best decision he had made and he found he was good at it, really good.

"Yes, and you are Aurorah correct."

She nodded happily, seemingly glad that he had remembered her name. He took in her appearance, noticing she hadn't changed all that much from the time they had first meet. Granted, she was definitely a woman now -as evident from her full hips and decidedly large bust- and not a small little girl, but her hair was still the same vibrant red, short and scruffy in the back with long side bangs framing her face. Her blue eyes were full of playfulness and he felt he could stare at them for quite a while if given the chance.

"Well, as nice as this reunion is, we have class to get to un." The blond said, a sort of hard look entering his blue eyes as he watched the exchange. Aurorah turned to him, oblivious to the man's unease and smiled.

"Of course Deidara, let me just...get all my shit together." She said with a small blush. So the blonde was her brother. Deidara huffed before going to leave, saying something about meeting them in class and that someone named Sasori would be a right prick if he was late.

Izuna smiled lazily, nudging the girl with the stack of sketchbooks he had picked up for her. She jumped and turned back around to him, blush still firmly in place.

"Ah, thank you. And sorry, I wasn't really watching where I was going." she mumbled lamely, taking the sketchbooks from him.

"It's alright, I wasn't watching either or we wouldn't have collided in the first place." he said. This made her grin and she held her books tightly to her chest.

"You seemed to have gotten yourself figured out since the last time we meet. All sure if yourself and stuff." she teased

"I should hope so, or the martial arts classes where for nothing."

She laughed, loud and boyishly as she went to leave and he found he liked it. "You're adorable Izu-chan. I really hope we run into each other again."

Izuna watched her go, the brunette next to her waving a goodbye with a knowing look in her eyes. She seemed to say something to Aurorah and before she had fully disappeared, he could make out her face turning as red as her hair.

Yes, he hoped they met again.

The last time they met had been the memory that stuck with him, an event that had changed him the most. He had been walking down the hall in the science division when he saw her coming out of one of the classrooms. She was deeply engrossed in a small stack of papers in her hand, a frown marring her features as she flipped through them.

He was quite sad to admit that they had yet to truly met up since he ran into her that day. He had seen her a few times in passing with her brother or the brunette but he had been too busy to hail her down and had soon just gotten too swamped with school to make time to seek her out. Even during spring, summer and winter breaks he was busy and he never seemed to see her or her other companions outside of the college campus, so he couldn't ask for a number to get in contact with her. He even tried Facebook, but she either didn't have one or she used a nickname.

It was a depressing thought that the women he actually wanted to spend some time with was impossible to get a hold of. He had plenty of women fawning over him. No member of the Uchiha family didn't really. They were popular, beautiful and rich, so each of them that attended school had their own flock of fangirls.

Now he had the chance he had been missing. Aurorah and him were the only ones in the hall and he was determined to make his intentions known. With a determined step he walked up to her and tapped her lightly on the shoulder. The startled jump and shout she made had him feeling slightly bad for taking her by surprise. She whirled around to him, looking ready to rearrange his face, but she stopped when she spotted him. Her raised fist lowered and a small sigh left her lips.

"Shit man, give a girl a heart attack. I'm sensitive to people touching me especially when I'm preoccupied." she huffed, scratching the back of her head. For some reason, he felt the knowledge needed to be kept and tucked it away in the back of his mind for later.

"I apologize, startling you wasn't my intention." he said softly, earning him a laugh.

"Unfortunately, startling me is all too easy so it's bound to happen, intentional or not. But hey, we finally got to meet up. I haven't seen you at all. You must be the busy bee?"

"Yes saddly. Makes having a life outside of school impossible."

"What are you majoring? I'm going for an art major, it's pretty much all I'm good at." she said.

"Medicine. I plan to be a surgeon." he replied. A few month into his second year, he made the decision of going full time for a medical degree. He would still take business to please his parents, but it would no longer be his main focus. Madara would be fine taking over the family company on his own. He didn't need Izuna riding on his heels to make it.

"Oh wow, going big!" she said with a tint of awe in her voice. "Must be really hard. All that knowledge you have to stuff in your head and remember."

"I'm pretty good with remembering things." he purred, soaking in her admiration. The tone in his voice didn't go unnoticed and a pretty blush formed on her cheeks as she fumbled with her papers, suddenly very embarrassed.

"I uh...should probably get going. I have to meet Deidara and Ana for lunch…and stuff. And then there is class afterwards and and…well, it was nice to see you." she said, her voice fumbling with her words as much as her fingers where with the papers. It was cute.

"Before you go, would you do me a favor?" he asked before she could turn to bolt away from him. It would probably be forever before he got the chance to see her again and he'd be damned if he missed this opportunity.

"Um, sure."

"I was wondering if you'd-" before he could ask her a loud explosion rocked the building. Immediately the smell of flames and chemicals hit his nose and stung his eyes. Before him, the building started to crumple and he saw as Aurorah looked above her in fear. His body moved of its own accord, pushing her to the ground and covering her with his own body as the building started to cave in around them.

It had only been minutes, filled with the sound of their breathing -his being more labored due to the rocks on his back, he was sure to have some broken bones after this- and the clattering of small rocks and debris. Small hands clutched at his sides and when he tried to open his eyes to look down at the woman below him, an intense burning flared.

Thats right, they were next to the chemistry lab. A chemical explosion maybe? That would explain the horrid smell and burning in his eyes. Going as slowly as possible, he reached down to the bottom of his shirt and ripped a large piece away. Still connected to his arm was his backpack and he reached in to grab the water bottle that was there. He uncapped the lid and dumped the liquid onto the piece of his shirt he had removed.

"Here, I'm going to put a wet cloth over your face." he said. He felt a nod against his chest and placed the damp material over her face. It wasn't much, but hopefully it would keep her from getting too much into her eyes and mouth.

He settled himself as comfortably as he could without squishing Aurorah. He laid himself fully against her, using his arms that were wrapped like a cage around her head to keep himself propped up.

"This isn't what I had in mind when I was to finally find myself in this position with a man." he suddenly heard from below him. He couldn't help it, he laughed. Was that really the first thing she had to say about this situation.

But then, it sounded just like her to make the most out of it.

"Well then, I apologize for dashing your expectations." he said around soft chuckles.

"Because it's you Izu-chan, I suppose I can let it slide. But you owe me lunch." she said and had he been able to see her face, he would have seen a mischievous smile and a highly amused glint in her eyes.

Well damn, she said it first.

They never did get to have lunch. Once they had been removed from the rubble and rushed to the hospital, it was the last he saw of her. In fact, it was the last he saw of anything. He had been hit with the brunt of the chemicals and it had blinded him, burned his eyes and there was nothing they could really do for him. He was in the hospital for a couple weeks, not only for his eyes but he had -as he suspected- broken some bones. A few ribs and his left leg. Fate had obviously decided his eyesight was enough and he got away with only a very sore back.

When he tried to open his eyes he could make out very faint colors and fuzzy outlines but it was pointless. He couldn't make good enough distinctions of things to properly make anything out. It left him devastated. Along with his ability to see went his dream of being a surgeon. If he couldn't see, he couldn't perform and he had slumped into a sort of depression after that.

He was glad though that Aurorah had come out of it fairly well. He had asked about her when he first woke up in the hospital and had found a stuffed dog -a german shepherd the nurse said- with a small card he was told had her name and wishes to get well next to his arm. The nurse had said she was alright, went home a few days after she was admitted. His quick thinking with the wet rag had spared her the same damage to her eyes that he had obtained. Aside from a concussion and a very sore body, she was okay. He was thankful for this.

It took him awhile to get himself back together, but he eventually went back to school. He didn't quit his desire to work in the medical profession -much to his father's frustration- but he had a much harder time getting to where he wanted to be. He still wanted to help people, to heal them, but there was such a stigma he found, against the idea of a blind person being able to do such a demanding job. That without his sight, how was he supposed to help people, how was he to diagnose them.

But all of it just made him work harder. It made his resolve stronger and the lingering bits of his depression from the accident faded away as he put his whole self into his schooling. He could do it, he might just need some help, an assistant while he worked maybe but he could do it. And no one was going to tell him otherwise.

He had decided on being a chiropractor. With his eyesight gone, his other senses, hearing, smelling and touch had seemed to be heightened. He found he was good with his hands. People said he had a gentle but firm touch and had insisted he would make a great chiropractor. He had given it a try and had been pleased with how right it felt.

It had taken a bit to get a position in the field, again the stigma that he was practically useless because he was blind reared it's ugly head, but he found a clinic that was willing to give him a try and the people he treated were very surprised with how good he was. It wasn't long before he had become a highly recommended chiropractor.

It was during one of his more busier days that they met again. This time she was his patient. When he had entered the patient room he had been ready to ask the occupants name, but the boyish laugh and a familiar voice saying his name had him pausing.

"Aurorah!" his voice was soft as usual, but there was a layer of surprise and happiness. He honestly didn't think he'd meet her again. But here she was, in his patient room. He didn't know whether she came for a exam or she had stumbled across his business and decided to pay him a visit. Frankly he didn't care, she was here.

He could practically hear her silly grin and he was across the room and enveloping her in his arms, burying his face into her neck. She squeaked in surprise, startled by his actions, but she was quick to regain herself and wrap her own arms around him.

He remembered, the last time he saw her face was right before the ceiling buried them. He remembered every detail of her, and his hands reached out to see if anything had changed. They ran through her hair, over her face, knocking a pair of glasses that sat on her nose. He didn't remember glasses.

"You have eye troubles?" he asked, his fingers tapping the thick frames on her face.

"Just a little. Apparently my eyes didn't escape totally unscathed. I can't see far away very well, so I'm stuck being foureyes now. I don't mind though. I apparently, according to your brother, look cute with glasses." she said.

Wait...what? She knew his brother? Madara knew Aurorah? Why didn't he know this?

Before he could voice his question, she gave him an answer. "I just started working as a secretary for Madara at Uchiha enterprises. He recognized me as the one who had been trapped in the rubble with you and my name rang a bell. So he gave me your business card and said to make an appointment. Said it was pretty much the only way to get in touch with you."

He felt small hands grasp his face and Aurorah made a small noise of distress. "Madara told me what happened to you. I'm so sorry. You made sure I didn't get the brunt of the damage and lost your eyesight in the process." she whispered, brushing just under his open eyes. He didn't keep them closed and only outside did he wear sunglasses. He had been told that though his eyes had taken on a milky sheen, they were still fairly dark and beautiful. He of course couldn't see them to make his own judgment, but Aurorah seemed enthralled with them as she circled his eyes with her fingertips.

"You know, if I remember correctly, I owe you lunch." he suddenly said, and he was all but swamped by her laughter.

"Oh yeah, I said that didn't I. Well, if you want to Izu-chan. I work everyday but Sunday, but I'm sure if one of us asks real nicely, Madara will let me have a nice long lunch break."

Oh he wouldn't be asking his brother for permission. He would take Aurorah from work whether Madara compiled or not and if he had a problem he could bring it up with the zero fucks he'd be giving. He had waited too damn long for one damn date and now that he was presented with the opportunity, like hell would he let someone tell him no. Least of all his brother.
