"Oh looky here! You found her." Yuuta said bitterly, Madara stopped in front of him and crouched down still holding Cho.
By now she had shaken off some of her delusional shock and moved away from leaning against his shoulder to look at the man impaled to the tree. "Hello Choyo."
"Oh."
"Is that all you have to say to me?"
"Well..." Cho trailed off and winced slightly, she was trying to get comfy in Madara's grasp, "Did you get Nobu-kun?" Yuuta went from smirking, expecting a rant to annoyed.
"I nearly kill you and you ask that? What sort of idiot are you?" Yuuta shouted, Madara reached out and pushed the katana more into his shoulder which caused him to scream.
Cho giggled, it was a rather creepy thing to see her giggling over someone else's pain, Hashirama took a step forward and crouched down beside them. He looked her over, Cho was a lot more paler in the light than what Madara first thought, Hashirama and him exchanged a look before looking back at the impaled man.
"He's my brother, you may hate yours but I love mine dearly. No matter what happens to me," Cho paused to painfully cough. "No matter what you do, Nobu-kun will always be first on my mind. Because he's involved in this too..." Cho stopped talking to try and get her raspy breathing under control.
"Come on Cho-san, lets get you back." Hashirama said, Cho looked up at him and nodded and leant her head back against Madara's shoulder and shut her eyes. Hashirama stood up and walked over to the hostages and the twins.
"Is there anything else you want to say? Make it wise, these could be your last words because I don't think anyone is going to come for you." Madara said while looking at Yuuta who was paling quickly, gritting his teeth he looked at the two of them.
"I am not sorry."
Cho snapped her eyes open and clutched onto the katanas handle, pushing it more into him, she literally put her whole body weight against it. Madara clutched onto her and pulled her back, "I'm not too." She hissed while gripping onto the handle, it sparked and the electricity travelled down the weapon and into him.
Yuuta's screams just caught the attention of everyone, Hashirama ran back over and pulled her out of Madara's grip and away from the katana. Cho was limp and light in his arms, he looked at Yuuta who was well and truly dead.
"I didn't do anything," Madara said while standing up, Hashirama frowned and readjusted his grip on the red head before turning away and walking back home. Ishi and Tomi ran over to stand either side of him to look at their leader. "Justice Hashirama that's all it was," he called out and followed slowly after him, Hashirama looked over his shoulder and glared at him.
Nobu was safe and didn't get captured, standing in the hospital room he half wished he had been captured too. The amount of damage dealt to his sister was to much for one person to take. "She'll be alright," Nobu looked to his grandmother who held onto one of Cho's hands. "She's incredibly resilient."
"But this is a bit different than the usual fight grandma." Nobu said while leaning against the bed guards. In the end he got told the extent of damage she'd had, two broken legs, five fractured ribs, a dislocated arm and a few bruises and cuts. Even though the two of them had been in battle before, Cho had never had this amount of damage dealt to her.
"Ah don't contradict your grandmother!" The old woman exclaimed while reaching over and hitting him on the head. Rubbing his head Nobu looked up at her, "Lets leave her to rest. She needs all of it."
"Yeah," nodding and saying bye to his sister the two of them left the room.
Cho slowly opened her eyes and looked up at the ceiling, she hated pretending to be asleep to her family. But she couldn't talk, she felt guilty. Despite hating Yuuta and all he had done to her and her family, Cho never wanted to kill him. Sure she would have been happy to see him dead, but not in the way she killed him.
Letting out a steady breath she looked over at the window, she had a good view of the moon, she had no clue how long she'd been unconscious for. Sliding her eyes over to look at the crouched person on the other windowsill she nodded slowly.
Jumping into the room Madara walked up to the bed and leant against the bed guards much like Nobu had a few minutes earlier. The two of them were quiet, reaching up Cho waved a hand at him, holding onto it Madara rolled his eyes.
"Thank you," she said quietly, he raised an eyebrow at her, Cho just smiled lightly and looked up at him. Shaking his head slowly he reached out with his other hand, Cho shrunk back against the bed slightly. Shutting her eyes she squeezed them shut and then opened them when he just placed it on her head.
"You don't need to thank me."
"Is Kiyomi-chan alright?"
"You really worry about other people before yourself? Yes she's fine, that cursed material has been taken off, as well as the other Uchiha's. She's asked about you."
"Is her vision alright? How'd it get taken off?"
"Shhh," Madara frowned, Cho pouted and sighed quickly. "You nearly die and you are already so talkative and you've only been awake for fifteen minutes." Cho just grinned up at him, "Get some sleep."
"Eh? I can't...I've been unconscious all afternoon."
"Find a way." Madara said seriously while moving to lean against the bed guards again. Cho perked up and looked at him, "Whatever you're thinking the answer is no."
"Oh...but-"
"No."
"How about-"
"No."
"Oh what if-"
"Still no." Madara shook his head and looked down at Cho who had taken to thinking up something else. "Maybe-"
"No."
"Why?" Cho whined and waved her arms in the air before lowering them and putting them over her eyes. Madara rolled his eyes, at least her dramatic childish nature was returning quickly.
