Like most Uchiha Madara was very careful not to reveal the abilities of his Mangekyo Sharingan. Most of his clan had known he possessed the ability to control the Nine Tailed Fox and could call upon a Susanoo but no one knew of his other ability that required mastering to use Susanoo. His secondary ability was the ability to control the tailed beasts but his primary ability was to influence and manipulate dreams, Yume O Seigyon Suru.
Madara didn't have to be in the same room as Sakura to use this ability on her but he wanted to watch her, hear her, smell her while he manipulated her dreams. With this ability, he had full control over the five senses, the targets thoughts, feelings and actions in their dreams. No physical contact was necessary to initiate the process only his chakra.
Sakura was restless in her sleep, like she had been the night before. He reached out with his chakra to calm her nerves by starting the dream off in the forest, on the outskirts of Konoha. A place that must be familiar to her and that he knew well. He envisioned for her soft green grass on the forest floor, she was barefoot walking slowly enjoying the smell of the trees a basket of flowers in her hand.
He made the trees taller, wider and more beautiful than reality. The birds sang sweeter and softer as they flew through the forest. He guided her movements by taking her to the edge of the forest where he knew there to be a waterfall. Her kimono was loose and flowed in the breeze coming off of the falling water as sprinkles of mist and water drops tickled her nose.
Beside her bed he heard the sleeping Sakura sigh and relax. He got up from the chair and laid down next to her on her bed. Resting his head against the palm of his hand he lay sideways propped up with his arm so he could watch her reaction to the dream he was weaving for her. He closed his eyes and walked her back to the edge of the waterfall, allowing her to add to the dream fascinated with her vivid imagination. He lay back in her mind and let her thoughts flow into one another.
There were a few rocks in the pool under the waterfall and Sakura wanted to get to them. She had always wanted to sit on the rocks and feel the mist and the water flow over her body. Setting her basket of flowers down by the bank she judge the distance and lept. Her foot touched down on the rock but before she could bring her other foot around to land she slipped backward.
A hand shot out and grabbed her hand, another snaked around her waist and strong arms brought her up against a strong male chest. She squeaked in surprise looking up into the dark coal eyes of the handsomest man she had ever seen. His long spiky hair floated down his back, his arms wrapped around her holding her in place kept her from falling The way he looked down at her with those dark eyes and the sensual smile that graced his lips, made her blush.
Madara. It was Madara Uchiha. "Let go of me asshole." Sakura started to push him away from her but stopped as he bent down and kissed her.
She stopped moving, it felt nice, good even. Slowly she started kissing him back, his arms tightened around her, lifting her up , he jumped from the rock back to the bank and set her on her feet.
"Why would you do that when you know those rocks would be slippery" Madara scolded her.
"I always wanted to sit on that rock and have the water roll over me, it sounded nicer in my head, so… I thought I would finally try it." She smiled mischievously at him.
-The little minx Madara thought to himself and smiled as the dream continued to play out before him.-
"There are other fantasies you can play out by a waterfall that won't get you killed or drown you." Madara pointed out to her.
"Aren't both of those a form of dying though, getting killed and drowning? Not much of a choice there. I'll pass." She laughed at him.
-She is a witty thing, not afraid of me at all-
"Let me show you something", he took her by the hand and tucked it under his arm, she started to pull her arm away…
-Trust me Sakura-
…..and stopped, letting him have it and they walked up to the side of the waterfall. He made a few simple hand signs and the water stopped flowing down the cliff to reveal a small cave mouth. Madara led her inside and lit a torch with his fire bullet jutsu.
He turned back to the mouth of the cave, made the hand signs again and the water resumed it's flow. He took the torch in one hand and took Sakura's hand with the other and led further into the cave, lighting torches here and there as they went.
"Where are we?" She asked in a hushed voice because it was quiet and a bit eerie.
"This is a hidden cave that Hashirama and I used to meet at when we were kids." Madara told her.
"I want to show you something very special to me." The cave started to widen more and more as they continued on their path.
"Why would you show me?" Sakura asked. "You hardly know me."
-It is time to form the bonds of trust in her mind so she will trust me in her waking hours as well as in her dreams-
"But we have known one another for many years Sakura, you remember don't you?" He smiled down at her.
She looked up at him with slightly glazed eyes, "No."
-Amazing, she can resist me in the world I have complete control, yes, she is the one, there can be no other, there can be no one but Sakura-
"You have always been there for me as I have for you. We have trusted one another on and off the battlefield with our lives many times." He smiled at her again, as if playfully, as if she ought to know these things.
-you are the only one for me, you trust me as I trust you-
"Oh, yes, I'm sorry Dara, I remember, how silly of me." She blushed looking up into his shining eyes.
-Yes, Dara, call me Dara, you are so beautiful when you blush, blush for me baby-
Madara looked down at her as they walked into a larger room where the cave had naturally expanded and she blushed for him, a deeper shade of pink brightened her cheeks.
-That's my girl, such a good girl-
Sakura ducked her head as if embarrassed but she didn't know why.
"This is what I wanted to show you." He waved his arm out in front of him.
She gasped. "Dara, it's, it's beautiful!"
"You are far more beautiful and rare my dear." he bent his head to her and kissed her, gently and soft then stopped to pull her after him as he walked into the underground forest Hashirama had created many years ago.
Trees as huge as any she had ever seen rose upward into a seemingly endless sky. She could hear rushing water in the distance, a cold sort of echoing noise, lonely and stunning in it's exotic nature. He stopped by a still pool of glowing water and motioned her to sit beside him. He brought her close to him and told her to look into the water.
"Do you see anything Kura?" He asked her.
She looked into the glowing pool of water. It was so still, nothing moved on it's smooth mirror like surface. She looked back at him, "I'm sorry Dara but I don't see anything."
He took a kunai from his person and made a small cut on his forearm and let the blood drip into the water, then he did the same with her forearm.
"Watch the blood Kura darling, watch the blood."
-see our future together, a world that knows true peace. shinobi are a weapon for peace, there will be war, there will be death, but after all the blood has washed away so will all the evils of the world and there will only be you and I left to start anew-
"I see something Dara!" she smiled at him and turned back to the pool. "I see...is that", she gasped," War, I see war Dara."
"Keep looking Kura my love" He moved the small wisps of hair away from her neck and kissed her lightly behind her ear and a bit lower when she, stiffened.
-you like it when I kiss you, you know how much I care for you, enjoy it Kura , my dear-
Sakura relaxed and leaned into him. He smiled his approval and kissed her once more then pulled away to look into the pool with her.
"Do you see the carnage dear, do you see how beautiful you look covered in blood, how they run and scream before us, how they know they deserve to die?" he held her hand as they looked into the pool together.
"A shinobi is a weapon for peace?" she turned to look at him confused.
-it is only through war that peace can be made, we must rid the world of the cancer to heal it again-
"We are the tool that cuts the cancer from this world?" She looks up at him.
-So perfect, you are so perfect-
"Yes my dear, we will bring peace to this world. You and I, together, like we always dreamed." He says.
"This is our dream, it is a good dream. I want to see peace in the world again." She looks at him seriously. "Is this the only way though, can we not find another way to make our dream come true?"
-I have tried many ways many times, this is the only way-
"This is the only way Kura." He looks at her emerald eyes, so bright so trusting, she is starting to trust me. She understands.
"I trust you Dara.' She says.
"I trust you Kura. I can trust no other." He stands up pulling her with him.
"Come, I think you will like this." He moves farther into the forest till they came to a river.
'I know how much you like rivers Sakura. I made this for you." He points to a cabin by a river.
Sakura looks at the cabin by the river. "Itachi."
-NO! NEVER SAY HIS NAME AGAIN!-
She falls to her knees, gasping."I'm sorry ! I'm sorry Dara!" she cries, tears falling from her lashes.
Shit. He hadn't meant to do that to her, this was their place though and Itachi had no place here.
-I'm sorry. You didn't do anything wrong, please stop crying, please do not say his name in my presence from now on love, forget him-
Madara picks her up and carries her to the cabin.
-This cabin has always been ours, just yours and mine, you have not shared a cabin with anyone but me, it is our special place-
"I remember now, I used to come here to train and you would watch me.' She picked up a tea cup and furrowed her brow at it.
"Yes, since you were six, we have been together for a very long time." He took the tea cup from her and put it on the table drawing her to the futon.
"You would always train so hard, you are so dedicated, so loyal. So beautiful and soft." He pulls her down onto the futon next to him.
"I love you Kura. I will never love anyone but you." Madara strokes the side of her neck with a finger, tilting her chin up so he can look into her eyes.
She tilts her head to the side as if considering what he is saying to her. "You love me?' She asks him.
-I love you, and you love me, only me-
"I have only ever loved you, only you Kura." He lays her back onto the futon and kisses her neck, licking her every other kiss.
"You can't love me Dara." She pushes him weakly as if she is unsure if she should be pushing him or not.
-believe me when I tell you I love you, and you love me, only me, trust me, believe everything I tell you, I will give you everything-
"I do love you Sakura, I loved you from the moment I saw you." He continues to kiss her neck, slowly moving her farther up onto the futon, sliding his body against hers, running his hand down her arm.
"You love me." she says
"Yes, I love you." He drags his hand down the front of her kimono, through the folds of the fabric and down over her hips. "I have always loved you Sakura."
She sits up, "but how is that possible?"
He can't help it, He sits up with her and Bursts with laughter. "You are are hellcat aren't you my dear, such a strong woman. I really am starting to adore you." He says in truth.
"I am starting to think none of this is real." She swings her legs off the futon and goes to stand up…
-stop-
…..she stops.
-lay back down-
Sakura lays back down where she was before.
-Believe me when I tell you that I love you and that you love me-
He lays back down beside her, "I love you Kura."
She shakes her head, this doesn't feel right.
-Beleive me-
"I love you Sakura."
"Dara, I, I'm confused." She shakes her head.
-Love me-
Green eyes look into his coal ones, "Dara"
"Yes dear?"
How long have we loved one another?"
"Since we met, we both knew, there could be no one else." He smiled and kissed her again
-Very good, good girl-
She smiles.
-I am going to kiss you and I want you to enjoy it, let me hear you enjoy what I do to you-
He leans over and kisses her lips parting them with his tongue and pushing his way inside, biting her bottom lip a little.
She moans a small noise, so slight he almost missed it.
-again, do that again for me-
She moans softly and turns into his kiss, to feel his mouth on her more. She grasps his sleeves on either side of his chest and pulled herself closer to him, turning onto her side to press herself into him.
-you want me don't you, you want me to make you feel good, like that night I watched you touch yourself, that night you moaned my name as you came-
"Daraaa, please." Sakura was begging him
Madara ran his hands up and down her back settling on her obi strings, he untied them letting the belt fall open. Turning her onto her back he pulled off the now loose sash and used it to blind fold her. She started to protest, shaking her head back and forth to get it off…
-You want me to dominate you, you like it when I control you, let me control your body-
...her head stopped moving and a small whimper came from her lips.
As much as he was enjoying himself he wanted it to be more than a dream, he drew her out of her dream, moved back to the chair beside her bed…
-Remember how you feel right now, believe what I have told you. You love me, you belong to me, I love you and we will create peace through war and build the world anew, together-
...and woke her from her sleep.
"Sakura, wake up dear." He stroked her arm to rouse her.
Sakura made a small sound of protest as though she didn't want to wake up but soon her eyes fluttered open and she turned to look at him sitting in a chair by her bed.
"Dara?" She smiled at him, "What are you doing here?"
" I came to wake you from your nap love, it is getting late, you will miss dinner." He gets off the chair and sits down on the bed next to her.
"Dinner? Oh, I'm sorry. Were we going somewhere?" She makes to get off of the bed.
"No, we don't have plans, we can stay in bed if you want?" He leans forward and kisses her, testing it.
"Hhhm, stay in bed hummm." She kisses him back, running her tongue along the seam of his mouth.
Madara slips his arm under her back and lifts her to a sitting position and starts to untie her obi, "Yes, let's stay in bed hum?' He slips both obi and sash from her waist and her kimono falls open a little revealing her wraps and shoulders.
"Yes," She hums into his mouth as he kisses her.
