Chapter 1
The Start
EDIT!
Yuzuki smiled brightly as she watched Uchiha Madara and her older brother, Senju Hashirama, shake hands in a truce for both clans. She had her white hair pulled up in a leather piece and bamboo stick to hold it all in. Her outfit she wore the same as everyone in her clan only in a more feminine style. Her dull gray blue eye shone with happiness as she watched the truce unfold. Finally the fighting would stop; young lives will be saved from the sights of fighting. The girl looked up at her other older brother, Tobirama, as he hummed, deep in thought.
"Oh wipe that look off your face," she said under her breath. "The fighting will finally stop. Things are starting to finally look up." She told him. Tobirama looked down at his sister with his dark eyes and normal stern face with the three markings on his face; one under each eye and one on his chin. He looked quite handsome in his usual short sleeved blue kimono shirt with his mesh armor underneath tied closed with a pale yellow sash and blue pants. His wrist guard around his left wrist firmly in place.
"I still don't trust him, Yuzuki," he said softly, running his fingers through his short white hair. Said girl only sighed and rolled her visible eye. Her right one was safely hidden under a white eye patch with the kanji for moon, in blue, on it. Soon Tobirama nudged her with his shoulder and walked towards their elder brother, dressed in formal attire; a green kimono shirt tucked into the loose gray pants and a pale cream colored coat with the Senju clan symbol on the back, a white head band around his tanned forehead holding back his waist long black hair. Yuzuki straightened up and walked over as well. She bowed politely to the Uchiha. Madara looked down at her and raised a slight brow.
"Yuzuki?" His voice had gotten much deeper since the last time they talked. It was nice to hear and a bit pleasing to her ears. Not to mention he was easy on the eyes in his deep purple robe that went down to his calves, tied with an orange sash with dark blue pants underneath and bindings around his ankles.
"It's been a while Uchiha-san," she greeted happily. Madara nodded his head, his long black hair spikey and messy yet perfectly in place.
"Yes I believe the last time we spoke it wasn't on good terms," he said softly. Yuzuki tinted from embarrassment. Yes she remembered that day. It had been right after that ambush idea both their fathers had causing both Madara and Hashirama to cease their friendship. She cleared her throat slightly to rid the memory from resurfacing.
"Yes, I am sorry about that," she said softly. Yeah that was not her day back then. She looked him in the eye. It was out of her embarrassment that she found it hard to look him in the eye in the first place. Madara nodded his head once as he looked down at her.
"All is forgiven. After all we were just kids." He bowed politely. "I too am sorry for what I did." He lifted his head just in time to see a frantic woman running around. He watched her coming running up calling for the white haired girl.
"Yuzuki! Oh, Lady Yuzuki!" Said woman turned around and tilted her white haired head.
"What is Ume-san?" she asked, placing her hand on the woman's back and starting to rub it. Hoping it would help the woman calm down.
"It's... It's my sister, Kaori; she went into early labor," the young woman said between pants. Yuzuki instantly went into her medic mood. This always seemed to happen at the worst times for her.
"What?! She's not due for ten more days at least." She turned and bowed slightly to the men. "I'm so sorry to leave this soon but other matters need my attention. I do hope to talk again." Without waiting for a goodbye she ran off with Ume towards a tent in the back. On the way there Yuzuki took her coat off and handed it to the woman then took a strip of fabric and tied her sleeves back. Madara was slightly taken back as he saw Yuzuki get to work. Hashirama raised a brow as he followed Madara's gaze towards his sister.
"Oh! She's the clan's main medic. The best one we have." He laughed sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck, "Mostly because she ended up healing me from my injuries," he said softly. Madara looked at him and smiled faintly.
"She's grown quite a bit from the last time I saw her. I almost didn't recognize her without the boyish haircut and clothes," he said softly. A shrill cry was heard then from the tent Yuzuki was in. All males in hearing rage froze stiff, even Madara.
"Come on Kaori, push!" Yuzuki's voice followed the screams of pain. Hashirama stood there with an uncomfortable expression on his face. Tobirama had walked off without a word; not wanting to hear any of the commotion. Madara just had his stoic mask on. Though deep down he still wondered how a woman could do such a thing. After a few more moments of screams and words of focus, a child's first cry could be heard from the tent. Yuzuki smiled softly as she cleaned the little one off and wrapped her before handing her over to the mother.
"It's a girl," she murmured happily. Slowly she stood up and left the tent only to notice a moment later that she had ruined her white kimono. "Tobirama is going to kill me," she whispered to herself. Slowly she started walking off towards their home. She needed a change of clothes and a bath. "I did not think this through, again," she murmured. Hashirama watched his sister and chuckled softly brown eyes full of mirth.
"Oh boy... She did it again," he mused. Madara looked at Hashirama.
"Hm? What do you mean?" he asked.
"Oh, well you see she keeps ruining her kimonos from..." he gestured to tent she had emerged from, "…performing deliveries and Tobirama keeps lecturing her about it," he explained. "She's most likely going to go to the bath house after getting a change of clothes," he said. Madara raised a dark eyebrow as he watched Yuzuki walk away from the tent. He hummed slightly.
"I see." He looked at Hashirama. "It's been nice talking to you but I must go and take care of a few things." He bowed to the man he had just made peace with before walking off towards his home.
Yuzuki hummed happily with delight as she left the bathhouse. It had taken her a while to get there though. Tobirama caught her trying to sneak her way out of the house and once again gave her a lecture about being better prepared for her responsibilities. Yuzuki rolled her eye as she ran her fingers in her waist length hair. It took a while but she had managed to grow it out after a few years. "At least now people don't think I'm a boy anymore," she murmured to herself.
"It would be a shame if people still thought that about you." Yuzuki turned and looked behind her to see Madara approaching in the dark.
"Yes it would," she said. Slowly her mind went back to the day Madara… found out otherwise, that she was a girl. Yuzuki cleared her throat. "I thought most people would be in bed by now." Madara seemed to smirk.
"I'm not most people," he noted. His black eyes moved skyward, up towards the shining half-moon. "I like to walk around at night. It clears my head," he said thoughtfully. Yuzuki watched as the moonlight showed a different side of the man. She had never heard of him being like this. A playful smile painted its way on her pale face.
"Oh? The Uchiha Madara has a cute side?" she asked. Madara's head snapped down and he glared at her indignantly. She giggled mischievously. "Relax, I'm only joking. I won't say a word to anyone, promise." Yuzuki then felt Tobirama's presence in the area signaling she was taking her sweet time on her way home. Yuzuki sighed and rolled her eye for the fifth or so time that day. "If you excuse me I have to be getting home. My babysitter is here and is still peeved with me." She bowed and walked off.
Madara hummed lightly as he watched her walk away. He too had felt Tobirama presence in the nearby trees. The man crossed his arms as he watched her leave. "Senju Yuzuki..." he purred softly and turned to head home. Never did he think she would look like this when she got older. She looked like a woman now and seemed to hold herself as one even when she wasn't trying.
-Midnight-
Yuzuki panted softly and groaned, pained, in her sleep. She was having that nightmare again. The one where she watched her clan be destroyed. She has had this dream for a long while now, ever since the day she first met the Senju brothers. Truth was Yuzuki was only Senju by name not by blood. Her real last name was Yukimura.
Yuzuki woke up with a start. She was covered with sweat and out of breath. "Mother..." The worn out woman murmured. Slowly she got out of bed, walked to her window and looked around outside. Her anxiety levels started to calm down after seeing that her home here, now, was still standing. This was how Yuzuki really was when no one was around. She was still heartbroken over what had happened and still felt so alone.
"I miss everyone so much..." A headache then came over her as flashes, visions, ran through her mind. This was due to her clan's kekkei genkai. They had the ability to see other people's future choices and actions. It was her clan's job to watch over and never tell a soul about it. Her kekkei genkai resided in her right eye under her eye patch. She couldn't deactivate it at all. Her right eye was a mix of light blues and greens with three white tomoe that moved around her pupil at all times.
'Madara looked at Yuzuki with a small scowl on his face. "What are you talking about woman? The child seems fine to me," he stated.'
Yuzuki tilted her head slightly. "What was that all about?" She rubbed the back of neck as she crawled back in bed. Yuzuki knew that the next week was just going to be a bit hectic.
