"What are you doing?" Rin froze as she heard Madara's voice behind her. She was almost to his bathroom but had to stop for a breath and that's when he walked in. "Don't try to stop me! I'm going today!" She could feel him walk up behind her and wrap an arm around her waist and rest his head on her shoulder. His black hair mixing with the white strands of her hair. "I don't want you in danger ever again." "Madara, we're ninja in the middle of a war, a war by the way that is between our families. I'll put myself in danger as long as there's a youngling to protect." She felt his mouth against her neck from a very tender kiss. "That's not fair Madara." He growled against her throat and he held her as tight as he could without hurting her more. "Don't go today. This is mine and Hashirama's fight. It's about damn time we hashed it out." "I'm afraid Madara." "Of What?" "One of you will die..."
"Where is he?" "You're the sensor of the family, shouldn't you know?" Tobirama scoffed in his brothers direction. "Rin is a better sensor and you know it." "This is true but she always let you lead on the field.""Only because I'm older and meaner." Hashirama raised an eyebrow in his brothers direction. "You might be older and meaner but she's smarter and stronger." He could feel the anger radiating from Tobirama coming in his general direction, with a deep sigh Hashirama looked at his brother. "Tobirama, Rin is exceptionally powerful, possibly stronger than me and smarter than you. She would never, however, push past us because she respects our positions and loves you and me more than anyone." "Not Madara..."
The brothers shared a look. "She could have picked anyone..." "Maybe she could be the calm for his storm." "She's the reason his brother is dead. She could already be dead Hashirama!" "She's not. I saw the way he looked at her, she's probably safer with him than us." Tobirama scoffed and rolled his eyes in typical Tobirama fashion. "Naivety will be the death of you." "Anger will be yours."
Hashirama felt something dark across the field. "He's here."
Two men, breathing heavily, just staring at each other. "Can this...be finished now?" Hashirama had to breathe in between words, he was exhausted from fighting. Madara breathing just as heavily, "Yeah...I'm tired of this." Hashirama nodded and layed back and just closed his eyes. "How's my sister?" Madara just sat back and propped an arm on his leg. "Mad because...I wouldn't let her come." Hashirama chuckled, "She's a stubborn one. Her way or no way." "I've noticed."
"You noticing disturbs me Madara." Madara smirked. "You're not going to let her continue seeing me after all is said and done, are you?" "Not so much me as Tobirama. She's really going to hate him keeping her on a short leash." "She's a grown woman." "You're a man, you're a man our brother hates, you're a man who's own family would never approve of her." Madara sighed, "Life is too difficult." "Probably. My wife is with child." "Congratulations. Whole camp in an uproar?" "You're the first to know." Madara raised a brow at his old friend and enemy. "You realize your sister will kill you when she finds out that I knew before she did that she has a tiny niece or nephew coming, right?" "Damn..."
This is how Tobirama found the two great leaders. Conversing like the old friends that they were. "Are you two idiots almost done up here?" Both exhausted men looked at him. "The clans are uniting, one big village. No more war." Tobirama's jaw just kind of fell, he looked a bit like a fish. Hashirama laughed, Madara smirked. "We're too tired for this hell anymore." "So basically you beat each other senseless and then said screw it let's make a village for everyone?" The leaders shared a look. "Pretty much." Tobirama rolled his eyes but started back down the hill as the other men got up and began following him.
Rin had wandered around the main Uchiha house until she found a small courtyard where she could sit under a tree. It was just the part with the walking and the sitting hurt just as badly. Movement in general hurt along with breathing and a wonderful stabbing on her back when she leaned against anything. She was quite happy in this spot currently though. It was calming and while she was in pain, it was nice and the shy, little maid had brought her some tea.
"Look Madara, we found a mouse in your garden." That was Hashirama's voice, Rin looked up too quickly which resulted in pain but her surprise at her brothers standing in front of her with Madara was more obvious. "Is it all over?! Everyone is happy and alive? Can we finally get the village and the nice old man can have his dream of a ramen shop?" Hashirama smiled and sat next to his sister. "Yes. Yes and yes. Most definitely!" Rin hugged her eldest brother in sheer delight and hugged her other brothers leg since it was all she could reach without having to get up. "Madara I can't hug you because you're way over there and I can't get up." He smirked down at her, "Raincheck."
(A/N So I know I haven't updated in awhile AND this is kinda short, my apologies but I wanted to get something out and I swear I won't keep everyone waiting that long again!)
