The vines unwrapped around me, slowly supporting me onto the ground. Finally.. I could feel the cold ground that I awaited for many years. My body was cold, but now, warm. My heart beat at a constant pace, the sound that my body longed to hear for. Blood was pumping through my body, giving me a lively look. My youth was still there. The breeze blew as my smooth white hair floated into the air. I closed my eyes, taking in my first breath after many years. The smell of plants and water. Opening my eyes, Madara looked at me, into my warm violet eyes. He held my hand, pulling me out of the cave and into the forest. The fog had disspersed.

"Madara, I need to tell you something." I pulled his hand lightly, making him stop in his tracks.

"What would that be?" He sounded concerned.

"It happened after you left. I was on my way, returning to my village. When I returned to my village, it was on fire." I tightened my grip on Madara's hand. "Soon, someone knocked me out. Then, I opened eyes to find myself in this forest. I didn't know how long I slept."

Madara hugged me once more. "Ma-Madara..?"

"Sorry, Isaya. If only I hadn't left you alone back then.." Madara regretted.

"I-It's fine, Madara. And why have you come to look for me?"

"I need you to join Akatsuki."

"A-Akatsuki..?"

Then there was a sudden rustle in the bush, causing Madara to stop hugging me but instead, he held my hand. A long blonde hair guy walked out. This person.. He's with Madara.. He looked over our direction, "Oi Tobi! You found that Isaya, un?"

T-Tobi..?

"Ah Deidara-senpai! Isaya's here!" Madara talked in a childish manner, raising the tone of his voice higher.

"Hmm." Deidara walked over, staring at me. I hid behind Madara, or should I say Tobi, feeling a little discomfort.

(Time Skip)

Almost a year has passed since I've joined Akatsuki, apart from getting to be good friends with Konan, recently Madara/Tobi was keeping his distance from me. Example, when I had finally found him after looking for him in the hideout, the runs off again. I wonder why.. I entered my room, still thinking why while in my hand was a book, then Madara entered without knocking and locked the door.

"Madara?" I stood up and put the book back into the shelve.

He ignored me and gave me a sudden hug from behind. I blushed. Taking his mask off, he leaned his head forward, he bit my ear. I blushed even redder. I turned around, and pushed him against a wall, trying to stop his actions. His face still retained his youth from a hundred years ago. As I looked into his eyes, he pinned me onto the bed and kissed me. His lips were soft and yet, not forceful. Biting my lower lip, he asked for entrance to enter my mouth. After giving him permission, he soon broke off our kiss and whispered into my ear, "I can't hold it back any longer.."


A/N: There's no lemon cuz I'm not good at writing lemons and this chapter was kinda short cuz I was rushing through it .
