Why?
Why do I care?
I ask myself that as I lay on my bed staring at my ceiling. I had only known Ryuko two months before he had been ripped away from me, so why did I care about him? Why did I come to Madara expecting to save Ryuko from him? I hadn't seen him in almost two years, but I still held onto some notion that he was mine. It's true we were arranged to be married but I knew nothing about him and now I see I knew even less with the reveal of his Sharingan and Uchiha heritage. I don't understand my own reactions to this situation because I know it's pointless in this situation. Ryuko was in love with Madara before I even got here and nothing, I could do would ever change that. After all, his mangekyou sharingan awakened at just the thought of Madara dying and I know that typically it must be someone you truly love and care about to awaken it. I learned that from Sasuke when we were eating lunch one day and I was curious. For him, even just the thought of not having this man caused a great trauma in his body and now I know for sure I could never hold a place in his heart again.
The one thing that bothered me was what I overheard when I was trying to take Ryuko his cell phone. They were talking about me as if I was traitor and I didn't think I'd been giving off those signals, but they're concerned so I must've. Naruto is, was, my friend, and I still hold what we once had dear to me, but he's become a different person now. He was the reason I was tortured and raped then bought as an item. I would never try to betray the only stability that I have since at this point my family thinks I'm dead and have come to terms with it. Returning now would only stir up a war in the village and for the sake of my friends as well as my family I can't have that happen. I will always stick to the plan in place and never hurt them.
I roll out of bed and head down to the manor kitchen. I would make my master's something to eat and talk to them about the conversation I had overheard. My former fiancé and my current master are people that I wish to keep happy since without them I could be anywhere. I reminded myself that I had to start looking at them as just that: masters. Ryuko isn't my lover anymore and Madara hates me for trying to take Ryuko away. I need to remember that to keep myself alive and happy, if they think I'm going to hurt them then they'll go out of their way to distance themselves from me and I can't risk that including them reselling me to the market.
I drop everything when a scream of pain rips from Madara's room. I recognize it as Ryuko and run towards their room worried that someone was attacking them. I slam open the door and look at Madara's bloody hands as he cuts out Ryuko's eyes. I stare in horror as he drops the eyes into a jar and seals it shut. He picks up a second jar and places the two eyeballs into Ryuko's empty sockets. Ryuko healed in just a moment and sat up breathing hard.
"Kiba?" Ryuko asks me as he looks at me.
"I heard you scream, and I came running. I thought someone was killing you, but your eyes were being removed," I said as I looked at them.
Ryuko nods, "Naruto knows I have Sharingan now, if he informs the man known as Danzo then I'll become a target even more so than I already am. I had Madara remove them for safekeeping and instead replace my eyes," He said as he wipes the blood off himself.
Danzo, the name was familiar on the tip of my tongue and if I remember correctly, he's above the Hokage. Naruto would have to report any information on any known Uchiha members that still lived. I frown at the idea but Ryuko was right, he'd be in grave danger if he kept his eyes because Danzo would be after him.
I help clean the blood from Madara as Ryuko finishes up himself than go back to the kitchen. It was strange seeing Ryuko with bright emerald green eyes since that wasn't his original color before the Sharingan. I finish up the meal I was cooking while they were still in their room and set the table for them.
I knock on their door and look at them as Ryuko opens the door, "I made dinner for the two of you. It's not poisoned or anything that you may think, I just want to show that I am loyal to the two of you because even if I did ever betray you, where would I go? Another owner wouldn't take me after hearing about the betrayal and as far as people are concerned in Konoha I'm dead," I say with a shrug leaving them confused as I walk away to the kitchen.
They follow behind me as I can see them discussing me as they walk. I don't worry too much about it because I don't really care if they decide to kill me or not. I have a hard time accepting that I'm in the life I am in now and if they want to take that from me, well at least my death wouldn't be false anymore. I can finally reunite with Akamaru and from what I'd heard through the grapevine that was the other servants my mother also recently perished in a fight. Although I suspected that Naruto rigged that so no one would be there to find out I was still alive on the off chance they see me in a video or something.
Naruto really has lost his mind.
