Hi everyone! This new story is dedicated to Arianna Le Fay who helped me to create the OC.. Well, the OC is hers since she provided me with the details XD Arianna, I really hope that you like this one, and sorry, I know I took a lot of time.

So, on with the story!

Tobirama was annoyed.

That was clear to the members of the Senju Clan when they saw the fire in his crimson eyes and the stiff way he walked past them. That would not be much different than any other time they saw him but living with the young man made them notice the slight differences in his moods. As for the reason why he was annoyed, the clan members knew only two persons could get him in such a mood.

Senju Hashirama, his elder brother, and Senju Yukihime, his younger sister.

Everyone knew of the little fights the three siblings had with each other.

Hashirama and Tobirama often bickered since they both had a very different view on things compared to each other. Hashirama was more outgoing while his brother was always careful around people. Still, the elder Senju knew that he was the one who could push Tobirama into losing his stiffness, while Tobirama was the one who held him back in case he went overboard. Despite their clashes, they were brothers and they stood together, no matter how irritating or strict the other would be.

On the other side, whatever happened between Tobirama and Yukihime was a completely different story. It was true that Tobirama loved his sister a lot and at times, the two of them would keep each other company when Tobirama was not out on the battlefield. They liked the silence that surrounded them whenever they sat together after a long and tiring day. Sadly, the silence almost never stayed for long. The two of them would find something to debate on and most of the time, their debate ended in a rough and ruthless spar which was always stopped by Hashirama before either of his siblings got badly injured.

As for the fights between Hashirama and Yukihime, they were non-existent. Perhaps a little one-sided shouting match from the girl or a tiny disagreement, but the two of them never got in fights like those between Tobirama and Yukihime. Hashirama would always back off before Yukihime's temper could get out of hand and then he would try another approach which would lead to the two of them to reach to a conclusion without anyone getting bloody. Normally, he would have continued to push forward- which would get Yukihime hungry for his blood- but back when Kawarama was still alive, he had taught his eldest brother not to push at Yukihime and to instead, try a different angle of getting to her.

That was how they lived with each other.

"Where's my sister?"

The young maid froze and a shiver ran up her spine. She turned around immediately but she kept her eyes lowered. "Yukihime-sama is in her personal office, Tobirama-sama", she said in a shaking voice. She held her breath until the young Shinobi was no more in the room. He definitely was a handsome man but no one else scared her so much.

Tobirama headed to the private and tiny building was belonged to his sister. He rapped his knuckles on the door but there was no answer. He rolled his eyes, knowing that Yukihime must have probably buried herself in her books again. He opened the door silently and he entered the messy single room. Books and papers were covering every surface of the wooden flooring, the blue couch was buried under a mountain of tumbling books, the only desk was in a similar state and the chair was covered with clothes carelessly thrown on it. His gaze swept the room and he nearly rolled his eyes when he saw the girl sitting cross-legged on the floor with a book in her lap, another opened in front of her and papers all around her. He watched as she nodded to herself, mumbled something and then scribbled a few notes on her papers.

"You are still terrible at keeping aware of your surroundings".

Yukihime jumped with a yelp and she clutched her book close to her chest, her eyes wide from the fright she got. "Don't scare me!"

"What if I was an enemy? You would be dead by now", Tobirama scolded and he crossed his arms over his chest.

"You're not, so shut up", she shot back with a cold glare. "I believe my clan is strong enough to kill anyone who tries to get close to us".

"Father summoned us".

"Then why the annoyed face?"

"The mess you made in my room".

Yukihime's mouth twitched at the corners. "Oh". She knew he hated it whenever she messed his things up and it never failed to get a rise out of him. "Let's go see the old man then".

Tobirama walked behind her to keep her in his sight at all times. Whenever they walked together, he never allowed her to walk behind him. He always kept her in front of him and rarely next to him. Some said it was his brotherly instincts, others said that he was wary of her, despite the two of them being siblings. It was not long before they entered their father's little office.

Butsuma stood up as soon as his two children came in. He noticed the way Yukihime narrowed her eyes when he strapped his sword to his waist. "Hashirama went to meet that boy again. It's time we intervene", he said.

"What's wrong with Hashi-nii-San having a friend?" the young girl questioned as a light frown made its way on her pretty face.

"Do not question me, Yukihime".

Tobirama saw his sister lowering her gaze instantly. Her body stiffened and her hands were in tight fists by her sides. He could feel the anger bubbling inside of her as she tried to keep it at bay.

"Get ready and meet me at the entrance in five minutes", Butsuma ordered and the two youngsters left immediately.

The three of them reached the gates at exactly the same time and within the time limit. Butsuma set off and his children flanked his sides as they headed towards the river. They soon found Hashirama walking towards the river bank where another boy mirrored him on the other side.

Yukihime squinted her eyes at her brother's friend. He had dark eyes and his long raven black hair had a blue tint to it. He was quite handsome, she added to herself.

Madara looked at the stone he caught in his hand and his eyes widened.

'Trap, scram'

"Sorry, Hashirama", he said with a strained smile. "There's something I need to do. I have to leave".

"Oh", Hashirama said to play along when he saw his friend's similar warning. "I'll see you some other time".

The two of them locked eyes for one last time before they shot off in opposite directions. However, two persons emerged from Madara's side and they met three others from Hashirama's side.

"It seems like we're on the same page", Tajima started and he closed his hand over the hilt of his sword. "Senju Butsuma".

"And Tobirama, I believe", Izuna added.

"Indeed, Uchiha Tajima", Butsume replied with a similar stance.

"And Izuna, right?" Tobirama said next to him. Behind him, Yukihime narrowed her eyes at the Uchiha clan leader.

Madara watched wide-eyed as his father crossed swords with Butsuma while Izuna went against Tobirama. The third person on Hashirama's side stayed behind but she followed both fights closely, ready to intervene should her father or brother be injured.

His heart got caught in his throat when Butsuma aimed for Izuna while Tajima threw a kunai at Tobirama. "Stop it!"

He threw the stone he had and Hashirama did the same, each of them successful in saving their respective brothers. The two of them stood in front of each other with their families behind them. Madara growled when his father took a kunai out swiftly but Hashirama's sister was quick enough to react and she threw a shuriken, knocking the weapon out of Tajima's hand before he could throw it. She took her place next to Tobirama and she stood with her head held high.

"Stand down", she growled and Madara saw the wild fire dancing in her dark chocolate eyes. It was the first time that he saw her so close and despite being Hashirama's and Tobirama's sister, she looked quite different. Sure, her eyes were like Hashirama's and her hair was white like Tobirama's but the white mane had a silver tint to it. Her skin was a dusky golden color and compared to the three men close to her, she had a smaller frame. Perhaps she took after her mother, he thought as he studied her heart-shaped face. Her nose was small and pointed, her lips were full and unpainted, and her eyebrows were thin and elegant. She hardly looked like a Kunoichi who has already been on the battlefield several times.

"I'll never forgive anyone who tries to hurt my little brother", Madara said lowly, his eyes not leaving that of his close friend. "No matter who they are".

"Same here", Hashirama said in a similar tone.

"Hey, Hashirama, maybe it just isn't possible for us to reach that dream of ours", Madara said softly with his eyes shadowed by his dark hair.

Hashirama was stunned. "Madara, what are you..?"

"It may have been brief but it was fun".

Three against four", Tajima said. "Can we take them, Madara?"

"No", his son answered immediately. "Hashirama is stronger than me and they have a medic on their side. If we fight, we'll lose".

"There's someone stronger than you?" Izuna asked in wonder.

"Let's retreat".

"Madara!" Hashirama called, still trying to hold on to his best friend. "You really haven't given up, have you?!"

"You are Senju", Madara said firmly with his back turned. "I truly wished it wasn't so. My brothers were killed by the Senju, and yours by the Uchiha. There's no reason for us to show our real feelings to each other". He felt Hashirama breaking. "Next time we meet will most probably be on the battlefield, Senju Hashirama".

Madara turned his face to his enemies and they froze when they saw the Sharingan blazing.

Yukihime felt her knees weakening at the intense gaze and something dropped in her stomach. She forced her body to hold on but as soon as the Uchiha were out of sight, she dropped down on her knees, the water seeping in her bandages and her shoes.

"Hime!" Hashirama called and he hurriedly knelt in front of her while holding her by the shoulders. However, her gaze never left the place where Madara was previously standing before they left. Her throat constricted at the thought of the young boy who was older than her by a few years.

"I don't understand him", she said softly. "There was anger in his eyes. I felt it. But there was love as well. Such deep and fierce love".

Hashirama exchanged a look with Tobirama.

Yukihime should not have come here with them.

The main pairing is MadaraOC but I pretty much think you should expect a different ending :P
