Everlastingly Yours
Chapter Two:
"Open your eyes." Muttered a deep voice. Slowly, her eyes fluttered open, and then she froze, her spine ramrod straight. A pair of dangerous and vindictive bright red eyes were locked with hers.
"Good..." He seemed to be muttering to himself. "You sure got yourself into a lot of trouble down there." With the ease of somebody who had done it too many times before, he deftly wrapped bandages around her arm and tied it tightly. A soft gasp of pain escaped her, but then she realized she was crying and hurriedly wiped away her tears.
"What is your name?" The woman looked up at his words. Why was he being nice to her?
Cautiously, she replied:
"I-I'm Y-Yuki." She folded her shaking hands in her lap and tried to steady them. "Forgive my impertinence but...who are you?"
A chuckle escaped the man and he looked down at her, his eyes suddenly a deep black.
"I am Tekke."
The swift change of his eye color caught her off guard, and Yuki looked down at the floor with a small smile on her face.
"Thank you for saving me, Tekke-sama." She murmured. "And for fixing my arm."
The man, Tekke, stared at her for a minute, and then shook his head slightly.
"The "sama" was nice for once, but I didn't save you. My lord, Madara, did." He chuckled and double checked her bandaged arm. "He dropped you off with me and went back to finish the job."
Yuki's eyes widened and she clenched her hands tightly together nervously.
"Only ninja are that quick on their feet." She whispered. "You and your lord are shinobi, aren't you?"
"Correct." Tekke replied. Then, his fingers on one hand twitched very slightly. "It seems he has returned. Be cautious."
Yuki felt her dark hair move as he disappeared in a gust of wind, and her mouth opened slightly.
"You...are scared of us." Said a voice so powerful it seemed to shake the room. It was almost mocking, and at the sound, Yuki's head whipped up.
Her attempt to appear strong failed utterly when she saw him leaning casually on the door-frame.
His hair was short, black and spiky at the back, but fell over his forehead and around his face, hiding part of his gaze. Yuki saw the bright red eyes he had, just like the other man, and she flinched. Compared to the other man, he was a giant! Tall, and muscled like men she had only seen in paintings. He wore all black clothing, but had maroon armor over his chest, back, calves, and wrists.
The man, whom she knew to be called Madara, smirked. And Yuki closed her open mouth and looked away with a frown on her face.
"I'm not scared of you..." She said with a quivering voice. There was a violent gust of wind, and an arm materialized on either side of her face, palms pressing against the back of the chair. At closer glance, his red eyes were patterned differently than the other mans, but it wasn't taking priority in her mind at that moment.
"What a bold thing to say." He muttered almost to himself, staring at her with no trace of emotion on his face.
Yuki gripped her hands to hard, and she winced when she bumped her broken arm against the armrest of the chair. Slowly, the man removed his hands and looked down at her arm, a frown appearing on his face.
"F-Forgive my i-impertinence but...w-who are you?" Asked Yuki shyly, turning her head so that she was looking anywhere but at him.
It was several tense seconds before he replied to her question. He was rather occupied with staring at her.
"Madara...Uchiha." He finally said.
On the outside, his face was stony and emotionless. On the inside however, he was quite disconcerted by the feelings rushing through his mind. Especially the thoughts that kept appearing : She is beautiful.
Her hair, long and onyx black, had somehow stayed neat, with her bangs lightly brushing her eyes. The clothes she wore were far from flattering, but it was easy to see that she was minuscule, and had a goddess-like face.
"Then, thank you for saving me, Uchiha-Sama." She said quietly, sounding a little bit shocked.
"Tekke!" He shouted suddenly, his voice booming through the top floor of the tower. "Get her some clothes and show her to a room."
Yuki raised her eyes to look at him, and their eyes met for the briefest of seconds. Then, Madara turned and strode from the room, Tekke instantly ducking in, almost seeming afraid of the other man.
"Follow me." He said, helping her stand up from the chair. She remained silent as he led her to a black door directly attached to the room she had been in and showed her into the bathroom.
"I shall return for you shortly." He said, bowing his head and backing out of the room. Turning to the shower, Yuki slowly let her kimono drop over her shoulders and fall to the floor. She turned to water on to a lukewarm temperature and stepped in tentatively, holding her arm out of the water. For ten minutes, she washed all the dirt out of her hair and off her body. When she turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, she found a wrapped box on the counter.
Her mouth dropped in shock when she saw what was inside it. A ruby-red mini-kimono with black sleeves, and black flowers winding up the side. Along with it were black satin shoes and a hair clip to match.
A few minutes later, Tekke knocked on the door and called through:
"Have you finished Milady?" Yuki opened the door smiling.
"Nobody has ever called me that before!" She giggled. "Lady!"
Grinning at her, Tekke turned and led her from the office room into a dark hallway with torches every few meters or so along the wall. At the very end of the hall was a pitch black door with a heavy handle. He pulled it open easily, but didn't enter, instead beckoning her to go in.
The breath before the plunge...
Sorry this was a short chappy, but I am still sorting out where this story is going. I promise I'll have the third chapter up before next Monday though :),
