Happy Birthday, Madara!
Though, I have no right to say that because his birthday fic is incomplete. BUT. For the sake of uploading it on his birthday, I will present to you...the INCOMPLETE FIC.
But that's okay, right? I'm going on vacation tomorrow but I'll still write when I'm in the hotel at night. I'll update this oneshot as soon as I finish!
And yes, it's a oneshot.
Izuna stared at the wall calendar, his scarlet eyes burning a hole right through the fine, bamboo paper. Normally, he wouldn't walk around with his Sharingan activated but this...this was an emergency. What, you ask? It was because the huge words (or numbers) on the wall calendar read, clearly, in fine print, "December 23rd".
It was an lie, wasn't it? The calendar was lying, right? RIGHT?
Izuna called for a servant and asked, "What's the date today?" The servant looked stunned, and I wouldn't blame him, because the date was hanging right in front of Izuna, so what was the reason for asking? But since Izuna-sama had asked, he had to answer.
"I-it's December twenty-third, Izuna-sama." He mumbled.
"What? Speak louder." Izuna had actually heard it perfectly, but just to make sure...
"December twenty-third, Izuna-sama." The servant said, louder this time. "Two days ago was the Winter Eclipse, and the Winter Eclipse is-"
Izuna cut him off with a wave of his hand. "I know when the Winter Eclipse is." Izuna paused, before apologizing. "Sorry, I'm not in a good mood today. You're dismissed." The servant bowed and left the room.
Izuna stood there for another half an hour, trying to make sense of what he had just learned.
Tomorrow was Madara's birthday. Tomorrow, was his beloved brother's birthday. TOMORROW.
Now, I love Madara quite a bit myself, and I do, in fact, understand Izuna's pain. But I, as a normal fangirl, would never completely be able to comprehend the worry of Madara's brother.
Izuna's mind was running in circles trying to figure out what to do. Gift. Right. He needed to get Madara a gift. But what could Madara possibly want? He couldn't pack the Senju's defeat into a gift box and wrap it, could he? So he decided to visit Madara's favourite Ninja cat, Umi.
That's all I got for now. Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday (to Madara) everyone! XD
