I stare down at the body which lay at my feet, my bloody hands trembling as I come to terms with what was happening. Danzo had launched an attack on the manor to get my eyes, but he was angered when he realized that we had thought ahead of him. Naruto was also furious since we released the video of his betrayal once Danzo had attacked. He told us that he had no idea that Danzo was attacking, we believed him, but the damage for us was done. I could hear footsteps behind me and turn to see Danzo approaching me. He had a sword through his chest and was more than likely coming to attempt to kill me. I stand in front of him as he walks the dagger in his hand into my abdomen. I don't flinch and I don't take my eyes off him, he doesn't know about my special skill to not die, even when it seems I should. He tried to stab me again, but one of our guards shoved a sword through his chest and ended that in its steps.
I turn back around and pick up the corpse at my feet. I start heading back to the manor with guards surrounding me on all sides to ensure I wasn't attacked again. I couldn't believe that this was happening now, so much had been going right and we'd been planning our wedding, but then Danzo and the leaf village decided to take revenge. I had heard from some guards that a riot was happening in Konoha thanks to our video going out, but that was to be expected. Once inside the manor strong arms embraced me and I sobbed into their chest.
"It's okay, everything will be okay," Madara whispered in my ears
"He didn't deserve this, Madara. Nothing about this is okay!" I scream as I cling to him and sob.
Madara holds me close as he has a coroner take Kiba's body from my arms. We had been eating out in the courtyard since it was warm, Kiba and I were attacked first, he jumped in front of an attack from Danzo to save me when I didn't see it. He didn't deserve to die for me when I could never give him the same courtesy, especially since it's really hard for me to die. I tried to stop the bleeding, I did everything I could since the medical ninjutsu that I knew wasn't enough to heal him. By the time the rest of our medics arrived he was gone and a full war had broken out behind me.
"No one deserved to be killed because of Danzo, but there isn't much that could be avoided. At least he never got your Sharingan since we removed them," Madara said as he held me.
I nod and bury my face in his chest and dry my tears. We would bury Kiba this evening, but for now, we had to recover from our wounds. I was still actively bleeding in my chest from the wounds that Danzo had inflicted, it wouldn't kill me, but the blood loss was making me weak. Madara takes me to bed and gently tucks me in, he kisses my head, and before he even left the room I was asleep.
Later that evening, after I had healed and felt better, we held a funeral for Kiba. The kitchen staff had gotten to know him and love him, so they were all there paying respects as well. I stepped to the podium so I could say a few words about him.
"Before I was brought here, Kiba and I were due to be married. Even though we barely knew each other I felt that I could've been with him forever, he was someone that just being around you felt safe and comfortable," I say as I hold back tears, "he did not deserve to die the way he did and the leaf will see retribution for this attack, but for now, let's remember him with our fondest memories and celebrate the time we knew him for, while also mourning the loss," I finish and step off the podium to let anyone else that wanted to say anything be able to.
The rest of the funeral was a blur as I watched the kitchen staff take turns saying their peace with him. I didn't have the strength to finish off the funeral so Madara did it for me. I only stood blankly as they lowered his body into the designated grave. I didn't have tears to shed and I didn't have the strength to speak when the pastor called for anyone to say anything else. I turned and walked back to the manor in silence as the thought of no longer having Kiba circled in my head.
Madara knew I was broken up about the idea of losing Kiba, so I'm thankful that he gave me the space I needed at the moment. At least he didn't have to worry about me leaving him for Kiba as if that was ever going to happen even when he lived. I shake my head of those silly thoughts and strip to take a long hot shower. I turned on the water all the way to hot with a bit of cold and stepped into the glass shower. A new burst of tears escaped my eyes as I sob into the shower wall and sit on my knees, he didn't deserve this! Kiba never deserved to be a slave and if I could I would have sent him far away, but he wouldn't let me! He wanted to be here with Madara and me despite how awful we treated him at times. I shake my head as the water cascades down on me and I wonder what we did to deserve to be attacked.
Madara has always been an independent company man, buying slaves from the trade without questioning where they came from, but giving his money anyways. I was a quiet, well behaved, sex-slave that never wanted anything more than a good master which I found in Madara. We'd lived quiet and independent lives without interfering on anything that the leaf was doing despite knowing full well that it wasn't legal. I don't understand why Naruto attacked us, why the leaf viewed us a threat to them when we would've never done anything to them without them attacking first. Is it because of Kiba that we were attacked? Did he say or do something while he was in captivity? No, he wouldn't have. It had to be someone that knew Kiba from Konoha that said something. That pink-haired girl, Sakura, had to be the one that did something. She was the closest to him after the most recent war and I never saw him without her. Damn it! I hit the shower wall as so many emotions swirl in my head and surround me. I hope she realizes that she got Kiba killed by ratting on the industry, but I'm sure she will because she won't go unpunished. I will make sure of that. I let out a growl the back of my throat as the thought of revenge consumes me.
