The Uchiha Demon and the Hyuuga Princess

"There it is sis! We're finally here!"

Hinata nodded and looked out the of the carriage; sighing as the day she had been dreading had finally come. After traveling for so long, the Uchiha residence was now visible on the horizon.

The courtyard was huge as what you would expect of a noble clan such as the Uchiha. Hinata along with her sister Hanabi were greeted by the Uchiha servants along with Izuna Uchiha, but it was just him and he looked rather annoyed. He bowed to the girls.

"Lady Hinata, Lady Hanabi, it is good to see you both. I trust you had a pleasant journey here". The girls in their long beautiful kimonos bowed to him in return. "Yes, thank you lord Izuna". He could see the princess looking around, expecting to see the person she came here for.

"My apologize lady Hinata, my lord brother had some important business to attend to…" He straightened up, seeing the younger sister dissatisfied expression. "But he asked me to pass a message: He says to please make yourself at home and he shouldn't be too long".

Hanabi looked away. "Hmph! Not even an apology in his message? Guess the rumours are true about him." Hinata was shocked by her sister's openness. "H-Hanabi!"

"What? All I'm saying is If he's going to put work before meeting his future wife, then what is he going to be like when you get married?"

"Enough Hanabi" her sister was right though; she was going to marry Madara Uchiha, a man she barely knows, a man she has never even spoken a word to and only heard about from rumours and war stories; terrifying war stories. She bowed again to Izuna "I apologize Lord Izuna".

Izuna merely chuckled and waved his hand to stop the princess from bowing anymore "No, it's alright princess. I'm actually pretty annoyed with him myself, I hope you can forgive him, he can be quite stubborn at times, but I'm sure once you get to know him you'll understand him better".

Hinata looked down "Yes… of course". The marriage was arranged by her father, his reasons were unknown which made her very reluctant to go through with it, even Hanabi was against it, which was why they came together on this first meeting. The marriage was already decided whether they liked it or not, the meeting was just a formality.

"So…" Hanabi broke the silence as they walked down the hallway "This brother of yours, is he handsome?". Her words once again were embarrassing her sister. "Hanabi".

"What? It's only fair, if my sister is going to be forced to marry some warlord he better be good looking". Hinata panicked, true she had never seen the man himself but her sister was acting as if all those lessons on how to behave like a princess was a complete waste of time.

"Well… I can't speak on my lord brothers' behalf but I've heard noblewomen saying how handsome he is and that he has a smile that would make any woman swoon".

Hinata then wondered what it looked like, meanwhile her sister had her own opinion. "Hmmm so he's a ladies' man". Hinata nudged her sister to be quiet.

It had now been over 2 hours and the princesses were still waiting. Hinata decided to take a walk in the big Japanese garden, she had wanted to go into the garden since seeing it from the huge meeting room where the sliding doors were open to let the fresh air in. She also wanted to be alone with her thoughts. Her mind wondered as she watched the beautiful koi fish swim gracefully in the clear water from the bridge.

Father… why did you arrange this marriage? What is it you're trying to gain from this? Is this for the clan? Surely it can't be for my happiness… I don't want-

KAW!

The blunette suddenly looked up in the sky to see a falcon fly across the pond and straight passed her, she watched the bird land onto someone's arm on the other side of the huge pond. She walked fast off the bridge and made her way to where the bird landed. She stopped just a few feet away from the man before her.

The man was very tall with waist long black spiky hair that had a slight blue tint to it with shoulder length bangs on the sides of his face covering most of the right side of his face. He had creases under his eyes and was wearing a blue long sleeved haori with the Uchiha chest on the back with a black hakama. Hinata didn't recognise him, but didn't need to. It was the man himself; Madara Uchiha.

His attention was on the falcon, perched on his arm. "How beautiful". He turned to see the young girl in the long multi layered kimono mesmerised by the falcon. He was also aware of who she was and turned his attention back to the bird.

"Yes, she is". The peregrine falcon was brown with a white stomach with white spots on its body. Its beak was grey which was darker from the tip and got lighter and turned yellow. Its huge eyes were surrounded by yellow which made them stand out more. It truly was a beautiful bird.

Hinata watched the bird gently nip the man's fingers playfully, secretly wishing to touch its beautiful feathers. She then moved her eyes back to Madara, now thinking of all the stories she has heard about him; The crimson Uchiha, the legendary leader of the Uchiha clan, powers rival to Hashirama of the Senju clan. The crimson demon.

"So, you're the Hyuuga Princess" he lowered his eyes to her; judging by her stance she was clearly intimidated by him. Madara let the falcon fly off and he stepped closer to the girl, he lifted his hand to her chin and lifted her face up for their eyes to meet.

Hinata couldn't stop her heart from beating at the man's forwardness. She watched his eyes roam from her face, slowly down her body and then back to her eyes. The smirk that appeared on his face sent an unusual shiver down her spine.

Is this what Izuna meant by his smile?

"Hmph, I suppose you'll do"

…Huh?

Madara walked passed leaving the blunette stunned. Hinata likes to think she's a very kind and gentle person but never in her life has she wanted to slap someone so much.

Throughout the next few days, Madara did more things that tested Hinata's patience; from ordering her to have dinner with him only to be completely ignored most of the time (Hanabi and Izuna would have their meal somewhere else) to not letting her leave the compound at all, not even to visit the nearby village. However, 4 days after staying at the Uchiha estate, he crossed line.

It started when Hinata was searching around the house and garden for Hanabi. She asked the servants but all of them merely kept their heads down and replied "I'm afraid not". The girl was starting to worry; she hadn't seen her sister since the night before. She saw Izuna in the garden and rushed to him.

"Lord Izuna!" The young lad watched the panicked princess running towards him; trying not to trip over her kimono. "Princess, what's wrong?". He let her catch her breath to speak.

"I can't find Hanabi, do you know where she is" Izuna became concerned, until he heard the familiar voice behind them. "Your sister has returned home".

Hinata turned to see Madara behind her; he was wearing his red crimson armour. "Re-returned home? But why? Did something happen?".

"No, I just sent her back". Hinata felt like the air inside had been punch out. "What did you say?". Madara stayed emotionless. "I was getting sick and tired of her being around…"

His words hit her hard. Sick and tired of her being around. "besides her presence was never needed here in the first place…". Never needed. "Unless you want her to be part of this marriage, although I'm not of those noblemen who enjoys having a harem, it's too much hassle to deal with so many women let alone one- ".

SLAP!

Izuna stood there shocked, of all the people to slap his all-powerful brother, he never expected the kind gentle Hinata to be to one to actually do it. Madara's cheek slowly turned red, he kept his face to the side but didn't lower it. He moved his eyes to see Hinata's eyes filled with anger.

"HOW COULD YOU?! SHE'S MY SISTER! AND YOU JUST SENT HER AWAY; SAYING SHE WASN'T NESSECARY LIKE SHE WAS SOME KIND OF ANIMAL?! YOU MONSTER! I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF YOU'RE A WARLORD OR AN UCHIHA OR MY FUTURE HUSBAND! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ORDER ME OR MY SISTER AROUND! I WILL NOT BE MARRIED TO SOMEONE WHO TREATS ME OR MY FAMILY LIKE-".

SLAP!

Hinata didn't have the chance to finish, she felt the back of a hand slam against her cheek, the impact was so powerful it completely knocked her off her feet. She landed on the ground with a loud thud, her cheek began to sting, almost throbbing. She looked up to see Madara standing over her with no expression on his face but his eyes red with anger.

"If that is how you feel, then you may leave, but don't think you'll get the same treatment leaving as you did when you arrived, you can walk back for all I care... You disappoint me princess". He started to walk away until he heard her voice, it was quiet but he had a keen sense of hearing.

"Why? Because I'm not letting you push me around? How childish".

In a flash, he had the girl in the air, hanging by her collar, his hands gripped her kimono and were very close to her neck. Izuna stepped in

"THAT'S ENOUGH BROTHER!"

Madara took a deep breath and dropped her, he turned around and left with his fists still tight. Hinata's body finally had the chance to take in what had happened, wanting to cry but was too shocked to even speak.

That night, it was cold, the sky was cloudy but the moon was full. Hinata turned around to see the Uchiha residence one last time, she covered herself with her haori and started walking home. It took 2 days to get to the Uchihas by carriage, it was going to be a long walk home.

Scared, that was an understatement; the girl was terrified and not just the walk back but for what would await her coming home, that is, if she can call it her home after this. During the walk along the road Hinata started thinking of plans of what the next step would be from here: If she gets home will her father be mad? If her father is mad will he disown her or exile her for shaming the clan? Will Hanabi be alright? Is there anywhere she can go if that happens? So many what ifs, the more scenarios that went through her mind the more anxious she felt herself and started welling up until finally she let the tears fall, it wasn't as if anyone was around to see her cry.

"Hehehehe look what we have here"

Hinata woke from her daydream and only noticed she was surrounded by a group of men; bandits. Some of them had swords and daggers while others had ferocious dogs who were pulling on their leash; desperate to take a bite out of their new found prey. The girl felt foolish for not knowing she was being followed, now she had think of how to get away; if it was one person she could cope with but 6 men and 4 dogs, it was like a rabbit surrounded by a pack of foxes.

There was only one choice; run. Hinata jolt to her right where there was an opening and made a run for it. The men laughed as they watched her, "Hehehe how cute, she thinks she can get away that easily? This'll be fun. Do it".

The men holding the dogs back took off their chains and the dogs chased after her. Hinata had no idea where she was going, but that didn't matter, she had to get away and quick. She could hear the dogs barking coming closer, even with the simple kimono she was wearing (she took from one of the servants) there was no way she could out run them. The only option was to climb up a tree.

Hinata ran to one of the trees close by and started to climb up, her feet were off the ground. She pulled herself up.

"AHHHHHHH!".

One of the dogs had bitten her ankle and pulled her down, as soon as her body hit the ground the dogs were on her; ripping her clothes, pull her hair, scratching and stabbing her skin with their teeth and claws. All Hinata could do was scream.

She then felt the dogs being pulled away, she kept her back facing the men who had caught up with her. One of them straddled her and grabbed the nape of her kimono. "Now… let's have some fun hehehehe".

The bandit ripped her kimono off; exposing her bare back which now had scratches and bite marks. Hinata's scream echoed throughout the forest "NO! GET OFF ME! GET OFF ME! STOP IT! NO!"

Her mind went blank as she tried to cover her chest; she couldn't run, she couldn't fight them on her own, anything was better than this, even facing that brute of an Uchiha.

"Uh!"

Suddenly she felt the man on top of her freeze for a few seconds and then fall off to the side. She opened her eyes to see the now headless body beside her. She looked over her shoulder to see a man in a crimson red armour.

The other men stood back in fear; seeing the warlords face and eyes filled with utter rage as he held one of the dogs by its jaw and head with his bare hands. "You dare touch something that isn't yours?!".

He ripped the dog apart; terrifying the other dogs and men, it was as if they were in the presence of a demon. "What a grave error you have all made".

His eyes were glowing red; the men took a step back as the other dogs ran away literally with their tails between their legs. The dogs were raised to fight any battle, but if they ran in fear, it meant they knew they would die if they stayed and fought. The men shook in fear, knowing full well who they were facing. They had assaulted someone who had close ties with the great Madara Uchiha, tonight was not only their unlucky night, it was their last.

Hinata slowly opened her eyes; not even aware she had lost consciousness, she felt the cold breeze hit her but her body was surrounded by warmth. She could tell that she was moving but her legs weren't. The bluenette opened her eyes more and looked up to see Madara, covered in blood, but so was she.

The Uchiha carried the girl in his arms back to the compound. Hinata flinched now feeling her injuries from the dogs, she was feeling lightheaded from the blood loss. "Don't move". She looked up at him, he was focused on the path ahead and walked towards the main gate of the compound. Was she really still that close to the compound after walking all that time?

She could see Izuna gathering the servants who had bandages and essentials. "LORD BROTHER!". Madara stayed calm as he took his shoes off and continued carrying Hinata into the house passed the servants. Izuna saw the trail of blood behind them and panicked "I call a doctor- ".

"No need, I'll treat her myself". Hinata looked at him in confusion as did Izuna. He knew his brother had good knowledge in medical treatment but he never used his skills on anyone but his own, when he felt like treating his wounds. "What?"

"She is my responsibility, now bring me those bandages".

She could hear them, the barking and snarling of the hungry dogs getting closer but no matter how far or fast she ran, Hinata felt like was stuck in the same place.

"NO! STAY AWAY!"

In the blink of an eye she was on the ground her body bare for the bandits to see. Their eyes filled with corrupted thoughts as they smirked at the her. Once again her body wouldn't move.

"No" they moved closer "NO!" and their hands reached out "NOOOOOOOO!".

"PRINCESS!"

Her wrists were gripped by her saviour. Madara was frowning, it was first she ever seen him like that, but then it changed back to his calm demeanour. Hinata blinked a few times realising it was just a nightmare, she was still panting but now she was puzzled. "Wha… What are you…".

He loosened his grip but kept his hold on the girl "You were moving in her sleep, I had to hold you down while tending to your wounds". Hinata looked down and saw she was only wearing a white yukata and it was opening at the top and her legs were exposed. She started to panic and tried to pull away from the Uchiha but with no prevail.

"Ngh! No! Let go of me! I don't want you to touch me!". Madara kept his hold her still. "Your injuries are severe, if we don't heal them soon your-".

"NO! You're just after my body just like those bandits!" She could feel his grip tightening, he pushed her down onto the futon. Hinata layed still as she looked into Madara's eyes. He still had some blood on his face from the fight. Their faces were as close now as they were when they first met in the garden.

Madara made sure to keep eye contact with her as he spoke "If I wanted your body, I would have done so the first night you came here…". Madara had given Hinata her own room despite the Uchiha tradition of sharing a room on the night of their first meeting since the engagement.

"… I can assure you princess, I will not take your innocence, not tonight anyway. If there is one thing I will take from you tonight however…"

He leaned down and pressed his lips gently against hers for a few seconds. Before she could take in what was happening the man lifted himself back up. Hinata couldn't believe how soft and warm his lips were, she couldn't help but blush. The kiss had calmed her down, Madara let his grip go from her wrists but kept his gaze on her; he could see that he had stunt the poor girl.

"I have bandaged up your wounds, but you mustn't move too much otherwise they will open up again. The last thing we want is that beautiful body of yours to be scarred".

Beautiful? My body? No… that's not true…

Hinata felt the bandages on her body; her head, arms, back, feet, ankles, legs, even her thighs. The only way he could have taken care of them meant he had to have seen her body. She lifted the blanket up to cover herself from him, although there was probably no point. Madara could see his presence was making her feel uncomfortable as always so he stood up.

"I'll have one of the servants stay close by tonight, should you need anything just call them…" The girl nodded to him shyly, she then felt a sense of guilt hitting her as she watched him slide the door open to leave, just before he shut the door he stopped. "…and by the way… I didn't try anything while you were asleep… so you may rest easy knowing that".

He closed the door, leaving the bluenette to her thoughts. Well there was certainly a lot to think about; it had been an eventful day and night but out of everything that had happened, the last thing that was on Hinata's mind as she slowly fell to sleep was Madara's kiss.

The girl was layed on the futon, held down by the warlord above her, he looked into her eyes "I can assure you princess, I will not take your innocence, although the way you at me like that, it is tempting" he smirked "If there is one thing I will definitely take from you tonight however…". He leaned down and pressed his lips against hers. It was gentle at first but it slowly turned into a passionate, heated kiss. He lowered his body onto hers and held the back of her head as he played with her tongue, making her moan for more-

GASP!

Hinata woke up in a sweat, it was another dream. Her mind was running like crazy and her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her heaving chest. She sat up turned to the side and saw it was morning, the birds were chirping and it was sunny outside, as of nothing had happened last night, life continued on no matter what happened.

A few days later since the attack Hinata couldn't stand being in her room any longer, she had to walk out for some fresh air, and not just sit by the open doors, the garden was the one place that made her feel calm in the compound.

The princess took her time walking around, she was still finding her feet which were still hurting. As she stepped passed one of the many trees she tripped over a stuck out root and was about to fall flat on her face, that is if it wasn't for the arm that saved her.

Once again it was crimson demon who saved her. He helped her stand up "You should head back to your room; you haven't fully recovered yet". Hinata held onto Madara's arms tightly, his long sleeves had ridden up to reveal bandages. "Your arm, what happened?".

No… did he… did he get that injury from the other night… trying to save me?

Madara covered them with the sleeves "It is nothing you should be concerned over. I'll walk you back to your room-".

"No" The man looked at Hinata who had a look of determination on her face. "I don't want to be cooped up in that room anymore otherwise I'll go insane… besides it's so beautiful out here… please let me stay out here a little longer".

After a few seconds of silence, the Uchiha sighed but began to chuckle "You really are a stubborn woman, you are full of surprises aren't you"

Surprises?

"Very well, you may do as you please. However," Madara picked her up bridal style startling the girl "you shall sit instead of walking around, those legs of yours have yet to heal". The bandages on her ankles were loosening and were getting dirty.

He sat her down on a stone bench under a tree and knelt down the reattach the bandages, Hinata could feel how gentle he was being; his fingertips gently touching her skin as if they were made of glass.

Madara stood up and was about to leave but was stopped by a hand on his sleeve "Please stay Ma- I mean Lord Uchiha… un-unless I'm distracting you from your work". Such honesty and innocence, Madara didn't know what to make of it, and she was about say his name, he was curious to know hear what it would sound like from her. He sighed and sat beside her.

They sat there for a while, not saying a word to each other, just watching the wind blow through the garden, but the silence had the break sooner or later.

"Ummm… I never thanked you for saving me the other night, so err… thank you lord Uchiha, I am in your debt… and… I'm… I'm sorry for slapping you as well, I was angry and I let my emotions get the better of me…". She was indeed sorry for hitting him but not sorry for standing up for herself but she couldn't quite get all the words out.

"I'm the one who should apologize…" Madara kept his gaze at the garden, Hinata looked at him as he spoke "I pushed you and underestimated you, thinking that you were weak and I could do whatever I pleased and not get any talk back from you. I admit, I was very surprised when you hit me, and not just from the fact that you did it" He lifted his hand up to his cheek rubbing it, he must have also been surprised by the strength behind it.

Once again the bandages on his arm were exposed, Hinata reached out and gently pulled his arm to her to look at "You got this from the other night too didn't you?". It was only now she realised how big his arms were compared to hers; they were strong and masculine.

He could see it was worrying her and sighed "It's nothing compare to what I've had before; my body is covered in scars. If it meant saving you then I would have given up an arm or leg, however that was very unlikely after they saw me killing their comrades".

She remembered, he killed the man who was on top of her and then one of the dogs; and so brutally too. It must be normal for him, he is a warlord after all and the leader of one of the most powerful clans.

The princess gently placed her hand on top of his arm, Madara could feel the gentle warmth of her fingers and hand, he was expecting her to scold him for killing them. "Let me treat your arm, it's the least I can do for you saving me and treating my wounds".

"There is no need princess" He moved his arm away from her hands but instead moved it behind her and sat closer to her. "However, should I have anymore injuries in the future you may treat them for me if you wish". Once again they were close, he smirked. "Unless they come from you again", he winked making the girl's face turn red, she gently and playfully pushed Madara away from her.

"Hmph any more slaps you get from me will mean you deserve them"

Madara burst out laughing, Hinata was shocked to see him look so…happy, but seeing a man such as him like this made her smile and she began to laugh with him. They spent the rest of the day under the tree talking.

Since that day, their relationship started to grow; they now talked during their meals, it had become a routine After Madara's war meetings to take a walk through the garden and talk. The man would be tense at first (probably from the meeting) but after spending time with the Hyuuga princess his mind was at ease.

Hinata was starting to come out of her shell; she would ask Madara questions about his life, she even asked him to teach her about falconry which seemed to be his hobby.

When he would go to the dojo to train his men, women weren't usually allowed and the blunette would read or press flowers to pass the time but Hinata decided one day to be brave and snuck a peak.

She was amazed by his strength and stamina, even after spending hours training his men, he would continue training by himself afterwards.

Madara was swinging the shinai shirtless, Hinata couldn't understand how he was able to hide his huge muscles. His chest, 6, no 8 pack and his arms, it was truly the body of a god. The man was right, his body was covered in scars. But seeing the scars made Hinata feel sad, imaging the physical pain he went through because of them. She wanted to do something for him, because he was now more than just her future husband.

Madara swung the shinai in the hot summer as the sun was setting; he had finished training the others for the day so continued by himself like always. He slowed down as he saw the princess making her way to him, she was carrying something. Hinata tried to keep herself composed as she saw his sculptured chest once again, but how could she, all she wanted to do was touch-

Huh? What's wrong with me? What am I thinking?

"Princess, I didn't think you'd show up today". He was smiling more often now, proving Izunas' point. "Huh? You knew I've been watching?".

"How could I not? When I know you're watching I make sure to train harder and work my men harder so you're not disappointed". He was trying to impress her? Hinata was surprised and happy.

"I…I was… I was very impressed…cough" she held out the item she was holding "Umm I made this for you, Lord Izuna mentioned that you liked inarizushi so I made some for you… I thought you'd be hungry after training".

She made him his favourite food, Inarizushi; pouches of fried tofu filled with sushi rice. Madara couldn't remember the last time he felt so… what's the word…grateful? Happy? Loved?

He took one "Thank you princess" and took a bite. He could see the girl was worried if he would like it or not and was dreading the answer, but there was no worry. He swallowed. "Delicious, is this your first time making these?"

"Errr n-no, I ummm, I've been practicing, I didn't want to poison you with my food". Madara chuckled as he took hold the rest of them for her. "It will take more than this to poison me princess, you'll make a good wife".

Hinata lowered her head when he said that, not knowing what to say, well there was only one thing that came to mind. "Well it's like you said… suppose I'll do". There was silence between the two. While the Uchiha finished his snack, the blunette did her utmost best not to cry, she shook her head.

"I-I better leave you to it" Just as she turned, she felt a hand on her chin and it was lifted to meet Madara's eyes, just like when they first met, only this time it felt different.

"Forgive me for saying that to you, I was in foul mood that day and I only said that to see what you would do" He kept his eyes on hers and she did her best to not avert them "You surprised me, I saw fire in your eyes when I said those words and you chose to stay. You fought back." He moved his hand from her chin to her cheek "And I'm glad you did, I like a woman who's feisty and has a mind of her own".

Hinata could feel her heart beating faster and couldn't stop herself from gulping "Lord Uchiha…why were you in a foul mood that day?". She knew it was risky but if she was going to be his wife she had to be brave, plus she wanted to know.

"With the war going on, I thought it was stupid to talk about marriage during such a time, your father then sent you over without my consent, meaning you had to stay here for a month, surrounded by talks about war, and the fact your sister came too, I couldn't send you back but I could with your sister".

Hinata's eyes widened "You… you sent my sister away to protect her?" The warlord nodded "Why didn't you say so?"

"Because I thought if I pushed you enough you'd leave yourself and call off the engagement, I could see you were a strong woman so I knew you would leave if you wanted… but I never expected you'd try to walk back to your home. I had the carriage ready for you despite what I said". Hinata couldn't believe it, everything he had done was to protect her from the war, but neither of them expected the bandits, who were probably going to sell her for money for food which they were desperate for thanks to the war.

Madara sighed and took his hand away from the girl's cheek; he could still feel how warm they were "I'm leaving tomorrow to enter the battlefront, I'll be gone for 2 months, possibly longer, you may return home tomorrow and tell your father what you wish to do, whether to continue with this or call off the engagement. I'll let you decide".

This hit Hinata hard, surprisingly hard. Without even thinking she took Madara's hand and grasped it. "I don't want to call it off. I've only just got to know you and there's still so much more I want to know about you. I don't want to leave here; I will wait for you to return and send a letter to my father to explain. I…I am sad that you're leaving tomorrow but please I… I want to spend as much time with you as possible before you go".

He couldn't, not anymore, he placed his hand back on her cheek and pulled her in for a kiss. Hinata slowly closed her eyes as she gave in, she lifted her hands up to touch his chest, the kiss was sweet and slow; they were still trying to hold back though. They slowly broke apart but stayed close, Hinata now realised her hands were on his 8 pack but she couldn't seem to move.

They kept their eyes on one another, Madara's eyes were red, but not from anger this time, but from passion and lust which he was doing his best control. Hinata spoke quietly "You..."

"Hmm?"

"You've got rice on your cheek". Madara blinked, it must have been from the inarizushi, he didn't even notice. He watched the princess gently pick the rice off his cheek and shyly put it in her mouth. How? How was she becoming more and more tempting for him?

"Come to my room tonight, nothing will happen unless you want it to, but I wish to spend as much time with you as well".

Hinata was still catching her breath from the heated kiss and was taken off guard by his request. "My Lord…". They were about to lean in again.

"LORD BROTHER!" Damn Izuna and his timing, he called out through the garden; it didn't sound urgent but Madara knew if he didn't answer his brother would continue calling.

The Uchiha pressed his forehead against the princesses "Think about it, Hinata" he kissed her forehead and left her to see Izuna, and would try not to strangle him.

Hinata was dumbfounded, she placed her hand on her heart which was still beating fast. That was the first time he had called her by her name.

Hinata and Izuna ate alone at dinner that night; Madara had to prepare for his departure tomorrow, and looking at Izuna's expression, he wasn't pleased about it either. The princess sighed; the moment they shared earlier together felt like a dream and yet she could still feel his lips on hers.

"Lord Izuna?" He looked up to look at the princess "Why does Lord Madara fight?". Izuna looked away; thinking about his brothers' reason, after everything they had been through, it was clear.

"sigh Lord brother and I are the last survivors in our immediate family; we had 5 brothers, they were all killed during the last war when we were kids. He and I used to fight side by side on the battlefield, but when I was close to death, brother forbade me from ever going again. I believe he fights to protect his loved ones, to stop them from fighting as well…. He fights so others don't have to"

Hinata looked down as she continued listening to Izuna "I know you haven't been here for long but it's obvious to see that you've made quite an impact on my brother. I see that you mean a lot to him. When he came back, carrying you after you were attacked, he wouldn't like a doctor or any of the servants treat your wounds, he wanted to tend to you himself. He may be stubborn as I've said before but he is protective of you and seems to care about you, otherwise he would have continued to try and push you away".

He was right, if Madara still wanted her to leave he wouldn't have kissed her and act the way he has. Something had obviously changed, in both him and Hinata.

Madara had finished packing his essentials and was now finishing doing his paperwork, he was damn sure not to return with a tower worth waiting for him. When he returns… before today he believed he would return home to an empty house, brother was going to visit the rest of the Uchiha clan while he was away and have the servants have some time off too. But after what the Hyuuga princess said this afternoon, about staying here and waiting for him, that thought made him feel more determined to come back alive.

Knock, knock…

"Enter". The door slid open, it was Hinata. He watched her shyly walk into his room and slid the door shut behind her. She was already wearing her night yukata, but then again so was he. It was the first time she had been in his room; it was huge and clean, apart from his desk which was covered in paperwork. She couldn't help but admire him working, it was obvious he was writing as fast as he could, she also couldn't help but admire his handsomeness.

She looked around and saw a shoji screen with a lantern behind it, that must have been where the futon was. Her mind started to wonder, he had invited her over tonight, but what exactly did that mean? Was it just a visit? Or was actually spending the night together.

The Uchiha family tradition was that when someone gets engaged they must share their first night together in the bedroom, what they did during the night was never specified. The thought of spending the night with Madara made Hinata's heart race and her body warm. The thought of him kissing her more was reddening her cheeks.

"No need to stand there princess"

"Huh?" She blinked away her fantasies and saw that he was smiling at her. "Make yourself comfortable, I just need to finish this and then I'm all yours".

I'm all yours

His words sent a shiver through her body, she nodded and walked to towards the shoji screen and hid herself from him. The futon was big enough for 2 people, her heart was beating quicker as she sat on the futon, it was certainly comfy.

Hinata let her hair down and placed it over her shoulder, playing with it as she was mentally preparing herself. Even though he said nothing would happen unless she wanted to, it felt it was inevitable, not that she minded.

Since this afternoon her feelings for the warlord had grown; the more she thought about him leaving for battle, the more it saddened her. She didn't realise how much she had cared for him so much and the thought of seeing him tonight had made her rush through dinner to see him sooner, but now the time had come.

The Hinata closed her eyes, feeling content being surrounded by Madara's scent, it seemed to have calmed her as well as excite her.

"I didn't think you would be so forward princess, being the first in bed". Hinata gasped as she felt Madara's breath against her exposed neck, he was knelt behind her and yet he didn't lay a hand on her.

"Hinata," hearing him say her name her body hotter "As I said before, nothing will happen unless you wish for it, not if you think it's necessary. I can wait until I come back. But I must admit to you princess, I'm finding it difficult to hold my desires for you every time I see you"

He reached out and touched her hair; letting it fall between his fingers. Hinata was trying to control her breathing but was struggling "My lord". Madara moved over to her side to look at her face to face. "Call me Madara, like how I call you by your name in private you may call me by my name when we are alone together".

Hinata looked into his eyes, wanting to say so many things but not knowing where to start "I wish to know how my name sounds from your lips" he ever so gently touched her lips with his thumb, "That's all I ask". She took a deep breath and took hold of his hand.

"Madara"

As soon as his name left her lips they leaned towards each other and kissed, as if it had been an eternity since their last kiss. Hinata wrapped her arms around Madara's neck while he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him. he heard her moan in the kiss as he licked her lips. He broke the kiss and slowly pushed her down to lay on the futon.

They tangled their fingers with one hand and Madara held her head with the other, Hinata had her other hand on his should blade. They were already panting "Are you sure?".

Hinata nodded and whispered "Yes, I want to be with you Madara, and not just tonight, but every night. I am yours, just as you are mine like you said".

Madara smiled and kissed her on the lips again, his eyes were filled with love, passion and lust once again. "Open your mouth". Without even questioning him, she did, and she was rewarded with his tongue.

Their kisses were hot but slow which made their bodies hotter, soon the yukatas were thrown away and they took a moment to admire each other's bodies. Like earlier Hinata couldn't stop staring at his sculptured chest and abs. Now his entire body was exposed, it was the first time the princess had seen a man's anatomy; she had heard about them before but never seen one, she could feel her face burning along with someplace between her legs. She didn't know what to say, whether to compliment or what.

"Uh… oh my". The Uchiha smirked at her innocence, it was obvious this was her first time. He himself took the chance to admire her body which she has always hidden from the world.

The night he treated her wounds was the first time he saw her body, since her clothes were ripped to shreds he had no choice, well he did have a choice; get one of the servants, but he didn't want anyone else to see her body but him, it still made his blood boil at the sight of one of those bandits on top of her ripping her kimono off, even if her back was facing them.

Although he had to treat her wounds as quickly as possible, he couldn't help but be amazed by her body; it was amazing what her kimono had hidden all this time. Her breasts were huge; her waist was small and her hips were a perfect shape to give the girl an hour glass shape. Her legs were long and beautiful and it made his blood boil even more seeing the bite marks and scratches on them and her small ankles.

And now seeing her beneath him completely naked with her hair down, and her skin healed and still as smooth and beautiful as it was when he first touched it, Madara had to do all he could to not have his way with her; his kind of lovemaking was too rough for her.

"Tell me princess" He whispered in her ear making her body jolt from his hot breath against her skin "Did you steal that body of yours from a goddess? Or are you a goddess yourself" he slowly dragged his hand up her thigh.

Hinata couldn't help moan from his touch and covered her mouth "What about you? Your body is that of a god and yet". She decided to be brave "you act like a demon". Madara smirked; the girl was becoming quite the tease, he held her head in place again.

"My dear," He bit her neck, making her gasp "You've never seen the body of a demon have you". Hinata couldn't help but get caught up in their role playing.

"I haven't, but if you're a demon and I'm a goddess, wouldn't that make this a forbidden love?" Madara made a low, deep chuckle, sending a shiver of pleasure down her spine. He kissed her neck "Hmhmhmhm so what if it is, that just makes me want you even more" he slid a finger between her folds. The blunette gasped and moaned as he continued rubbing her.

"Ahhhhh Oh!"

"Mmmmm so responsive… and wet" he watched the princess wither beneath him, kissed her neck again and moved downwards to her heaving breasts. Hinata moaned louder as she felt Madara's lips on her nipple, he kissed, nipped and swirled around it with his tongue and then did the same with the other; she had no idea her breasts were so sensitive.

"Ahhhh" his hand that was rubbing her had now moved lower and he slid a finger inside her; feeling how wet and tight she was. Her back arched beautifully "Ahh Madara" the way she said his name sent pleasure through the Uchihas body, he took her nipple out of his mouth and leaned over her to kiss her back on the mouth, feeling and hearing her moan in the kiss as he continued pumping his finger into her.

It was painful at first but once the pain had gone it felt so good, but Hinata could feel her body wanting more, something thicker and longer than his finger. The princess mentally hit herself for thinking of something so dirty.

Unknowns to her though her body was showing that it wanted more; she was moaning, her hands were in his hair, her leg was more bent; opening her more and her body was bucking against his finger which had picked up the pace.

The Uchiha broke the kiss and pulled his finger out; he chuckled when he saw disappointment on her face when he stopped. The way he looked at her was like a demon about to feast on its prey; his eyes were now a darker red, Hinata bit her lip.

Although it was a bit late to ask, it had to be asked "I'll ask you this one time, are you sure you wish to give yourself to me?". At first Hinata was confused to why he was asking such a thing now, but the fact he was considering her feelings made her happy and felt loved.

She smiled "Yes" reached her arms out to wrap them around his neck "I am yours, I want to give my everything to you, my lord husband".

Hinata's body sank into the futon as Madara kissed her hard and pressed his body on hers, he opened her legs to move himself in place between them. He broke the kiss and looked at her; he moved his hand down to pump himself a few times and then moved his member to slide it between her folds. The blunette closed her eyes; feeling the pleasure shooting through her body like electric and once again made a breathy moan.

"Hold on to me, this will hurt" Madara entered slowly, Hinata instantly clung to him and dug her nails into his shoulder blades. She winced in pain and panted as she felt him go deeper. The Uchiha wrapped his arms around her tightly, trying to calm her down.

"Shhhhhh it's ok…. the pain will fade soon". The last thing he wanted to do was hurt her, it was then he realised how he really felt about the princess and what he wanted to do: hold her, protect her, love her, make her happy, make her feel loved, make love to her every night, feel connected to her. Spend his life with her.

After a few more seconds the pain had gone and all that was left was pleasure. The room was filled with the sound of their passionate love making; kisses, words of sweet nothings. They couldn't keep their eyes off each other, making the pleasure that was shooting through each other's bodies more intense.

The way Madara looked down at her; his eyes dark and red, looking at her like he wants to devour her and not minding at all if he did. The muscles in his body working as he thrusted into her over and over again.

The way Hinata looked up at him; her eyes closing from the pleasure hitting her but trying to keep eye contact with him. She could see his eyes avert to her chest as her breasts jiggled in time with his thrusts, she wanted to cover them but at the same time she wanted him to see all of her.

She reached out and held his hand; tangling their fingers together. Her moans were getting louder and higher, meaning she was close. Madara quickened his pace but continued to be as gentle as he could. It wasn't his style, he preferred being rough but tonight he wanted to make love to her, not fuck her. There would be plenty of time for that when her bodies used to it.

"Ahhhh Madara" Easier said than done.

"Mmmm Hinata" He can feel himself reaching his limit now, his continued kissing her and thrusting into her, she moaned as he pounded into her faster. Madara drove her to the edge; her body shook, her core tightening more around him, almost strangling him. He felt himself coming and at the last second he pulled out just before he came. His seeds spilt over her stomach and thighs.

They held each other as layed together catching their breaths. Hinata looked up at him and shyly whispered "Why did you…?" She couldn't finish asking but the Uchiha understood and looked deep into her eyes as he held her hand.

"We will start a family after we're married, after this war is over. I will not leave you alone to care for our child" Hinata smiled and kissed him. They fell asleep holding each other.

The sun wasn't even up yet; the surrounding land was filled with mist, Izuna had the horse ready for his brother to leave, he looked toward the entrance of the house seeing Madara walking out in his full crimson armour with Hinata beside him. He watched the princess stop him to make sure his armour was properly tied together and in place.

Hinata asked to help him put his armour on, she wanted to do something for her future husband before he left. Madara could see though that she was doing her utmost to not cry during his departure.

"Hinata" Using his deep seductive voice she looked at to him "Do you truly wish to be my wife?" her eyes widened; it was the proposal that never happened. Tears appeared in the corners of her eyes as she smiled "I do, Madara".

The Uchiha smiled and placed his hand to the back of her head and pulled her towards him to press their foreheads together. "This is how we Uchiha show our love and say goodbye".

Goodbye?

The tears fell down her cheeks and she nodded "I'll be here waiting for you, Madara" she whispered not able to say another word without breaking down completely. Madara kissed her on the forehead and gave her hand one last squeeze and then headed to Izuna and his horse.

"Look after my wife Izuna and make sure no one messes with her, she's a strong woman" his brother was in shock as he heard Madara's last words as he lifted himself onto the horse. He gave everyone one last look and then turned around.

"Hyah!"

The horse galloped off, away to the battlefield, away from home. Hinata and Izuna watched him as he disappeared into the mist which began to fade as the sun rose. Izuna smiled.

"What is it Lord Izuna?"

The man shook his head; trying to keep himself composed "That brother of mine, he said…"

"She'll make a splendid Uchiha wife, I couldn't have asked for anyone better"

WOW! It's been a while since I wrote several pages in one night. I was pretty much writing 4 pages a day! Like I said this is a long story but I hope you like it. This is probably the last new fanfic for this year (unless I write a Christmas special again) but I'll spend the time writing new fanfic for the new year. New Akatsuki x Sakura chapters, new Helpless Night chapters, maybe even a brand new one, we'll see. For now, see ya soon!
