An: ramenwriter15 again for another chapter of my Madara story. Please enjoy.

The Story Beneath the Murder Chapter 2: First Kisses

"Are we there yet?" Kohana moaned as she squirmed from my grip hitting the ground with a big thump.

"I'd say I'm sorry, but you deserved that" I pointed out.

"Your mean pretty eyes" she squealed teasingly.

We were in front of another lovely shack that was built crappy. This was where our council assembled every day.

"Stay here" I told her.

"But I want to go too" she pouted.

"Seeing an injured girl wouldn't help your argument" I said.

"Okay, please don't make me go out there alone pretty eyes" she pleaded.

"I'll do my best" I replied and walked into the shack. The makeup of the council's "office" was fairly ridiculous. The floors were plain wood like the other shacks and the walls as well. Though there was a long desk pushed in the back, which is where they usually sat. They acted like they had power, but they really didn't have too much control. Today only one council member was present.

"Madara" smiled Takashi, an Uchiha Council member. The council always tried to keep themselves on my good side because I was one of the best fighters the Uchiha's had.

"I have a favor to ask" I stated. The look on Takashi's face was 'Oh great', but of course he would accept my request.

"I found this girl from the Hanami clan on the battlefield. Her whole clan is dead now. Izuna and I want her to stay with us"

"I see no problem with that, will she help us fight?" Takashi demanded.

"I'm sure after she recovers that she will fight if I tell her" I replied.

"Good, good, oh and Madara?"

"Yes sir"

"Keep up the good work"

I nodded and left. I wasn't hard to believe that all he cared about was fighting. Everyone in our clan is a piece that will help in their own way. I am a strong piece of the game we call war.

I walked outside to see Kohana's bloodline trait in action. She touched the dead patch of grass by her and it blossomed flowers. Next she used her chakra to move the petals in the air.

"Whoa..." I said, scaring her and causing her to fling the flower petals at me. Usually flower petals would not cause any harm, but these ones slice my arms up.

"Oh pretty eyes!" she screamed and then used her chakra to heal me completely, "I'm so sorry"

I merely smirked, "So that's your technique"

Kohana went from apologetic to extremely happy in a few seconds. "You really like it"

"I've never seen anything like" I admitted while picking her up and carrying her back to the shack.

"I can also cook" she stated.

"That's not a ninja technique" I frowned.

"No, but somebody has to feed you skinny boys" she laughed as she poked my ribs.

"Okay, so Izuna and I suck at cooking"

"I thought so, poor pretty eyes had to go hungry" she joked while we enter the house.

Izuna was waiting for us right in front of the door, so when I opened the door it smacked him in the face.

"Ow!" he yelled as he held his face.

"That's what you get for not thinking about the consequences" I retorted.

"Who actually thinks of the consequences before they act something out besides you Madara?" fumed Izuna.

"Boys enough" she said while jumping out of my arms, which amazingly she didn't stumble. We both stopped and stared at her.

"When are you going to tell us about your clan?" asked Izuna impatiently.

"Well, pretty eyes already knows some" she confessed.

"What!? No fair, is it just because he's older" complained Izuna.

"I'm sorry" she whined, "I'll tell you right now"

We both sat on the pillows that laid a pound the floor and brought our full attention to our speaker.

"Let's see the Hanami or pretty flower clan is not very known" she explained, "One of the reasons is we were so small. We were fairly strong for being a small clan. Our power is we control the growth of flowers and we can also shift them into weapons and illusions on command"

"What about the healing I saw?" I asked.

"Oh that is my special technique, I was the only one in my clan who could use it in my clan" she smirked, "Pretty cool hun?"

"Extremely cool!" smiled a goofy Izuna.

"Why didn't you use it to save your clan?" I questioned.

"I would have, but my charka got cut off" She sighed and I felt bad.

"What happened to them? Who defeated them?" asked Izuna curiously.

She flinched slightly at her haunting memory," It was the Senju clan"

Both Izuna and I were angry at hearing the name of our rival clan. The Uchiha's hated the Senju's more than any other clan alive. The Uchiha and Senju clans were the two most powerful during the time.

"What's wrong guys?" she asked worried like she said something wrong.

"Well..." started Izuna.

"We hate the Senjus" I finished. She smiled at our response and hugged us both.

"Yah! My two best friends share a common enemy. I'm going to make you some dinner" she sang and walked to our kitchen.

Later that night she served. She made a very delicious curry that made Izuna have to drink a gulp of water after each. As for me I could handle the spicy curry, I was no big deal. I know that Izuna and I were just glad we had someone who cooked good meals for us. After dinner we rinsed the plates and went to our rooms. I snuggled into the mat the laid next to Izuna.

"Good night nii-san" whispered Izuna. I smiled, because I knew that even though he was a pest he was still my brother and I was not sure what I would do without him. The night silence was filled with Izuna's soft snores and I was about to fall asleep until I heard a small creek at the entrance of the room. The next thing I felt was one hundred pounds pushing into my side.

"Kohana?" I whispered and I felt her tremble beside me.

"H...hai.." she whispered back.

"What's wrong?"

"I can't sleep pretty eyes, I had a nightmare of them dying" she whimpered and pressed her face into my chest.

"Stay then" I whispered as I felt her head lift.

"Madara…thank you" she said quietly, actually using my real name.

"Anytime" I replied and I felt a blush creep across my face as she leaned in closer. Her hot breath hit my face and I felt stunned.

"I really like you Madara" she stated and then covered her mouth with mine. The kisses turn passionately real fast the more she moaned my name. Though that night it didn't go farther than just kisses, because soon after she fell asleep soundly in my arms. For once in my life I felt loved from the opposite gender.
