Chapter 9/ I won't let you down

October, 0605

She grew terribly stronger. Every day she went home with her skin scraped clean, under her muscles, to her bones. Her nails were devastated and there was blood coming out from under them, so she walked around wrapped in bandages. Regardless of the mission, while being in Konoha, she trained. She trained every single day. She was crazy. I trained with her, I fought with her. I taught her a lot of things. She went on missions, sometimes with my team. She picked a lot of experience. When she wasn't training, she read. She was learning. She learned anatomy, physiology, she learned all sorts of tactics, she studied techniques, all the writings she could find that she could study. And in about half a year... she became incredibly strong.

The Chūnin Exam finally took place – but later than expected – in October.

It was raining heavily outside as I got up from the bed. I left Indre, whose naked back I had looked at before. I felt sick and nauseated - probably from the last training. I went to the bathroom and threw up dinner. Then I washed myself, my face, and came into the kitchen. It was four o'clock in the morning, Indre was to get up later.

October. I've been officially transferred to the ANBU since September. Me and my team. And some other teams. It was still the same, difficult and complicated missions. However, the implementation was different. Partially we still went on normal missions, especially when it came to my individual diplomatic duties and so on. I was still gone.

I was terribly sick. But this time it was supposed to be my last mission for a few days. I was supposed to be back for the afternoon part of the Chūnin Exam. That part was led by Indre. I relied on her. I knew she could do it. I took some juice from the fridge and drank it on the way out of the house.

*** I /

I got up earlier than I had originally planned. It was about six o'clock in the morning. I was totally nervous all the time, so I headed straight for the bathroom and vomited into the toilet. Then I went to wash my face with cold water. I dressed as usual. I tied my headband around my neck, as usual, pulled on my higher boots above my knees, didn't even eat, and headed for Hokage's office.

Hashirama-san greeted me with a smile.

"So, how the final preparations are going?" He asked me.

"Hai, everything went smoothly and without any problems. I only need to do a few more things."

"I'm glad. Indre, I wanted to tell you... there will be a Jōnin Exam soon. I would like you to participate."

"Sure, I'm counting on it." I can finally show what's in me. And become stronger.

"How many participants this time?" he said quietly.

"About two hundred and thirteen," I replied. Hashirama-san shifted in his chair.

"That's a lot. We should be careful during the second round. But there's something to look forward to. You should contact Saburou, who's supervising the first round. "

"Hai."

"After the first exam, you should give them instructions for the second part. Training ground twenty-four is set up as I promised and as you wanted. I got a little carried away, maybe it's gonna be harder. I have a plan for you here."

He reached into the drawer with his hand and threw the scroll at me.

"Thank you so much. It does not matter. I'm going there to finish some preparations."

"All right, you have about three hours."

"Arigato."

I was sitting on the roof under the window. I waited for Saburou to send me a signal for coming. I was smoking a cigarette. After a very long time. It was nice. I always smoked when Madara couldn't figure it out. I didn't want to explain anything to him. I enjoyed the smoke dancing in the air. It was no longer raining outside. The ground had dried up.

Signal.

I tapped my cigarette, and by the time it reached the roof, I was squatting on the table in the next room.

"When-"

"Yo, brats," I grinned. "You're finally sorted out."

"That was quick," Saburou said.

I laughed. And frowned. I was staring at all those people with a completely cold, frightening gaze. I didn't say anything. Just stared at them. Some of them swallowed hard. "They should start shaking with fear," I said arrogantly. I raised my head. "Who's looking forward to dying?" I asked with a smile on my face. Nobody said anything. I looked around. "I'm not as soft as Saburou is." I closed my eyes... and then slowly opened them with Mangeykō Sharingan. "I am the embodiment of death itself."

Some backed away. It amused me. "You can leave now... who wants. This is your last chance." I ruffled my hair. "Then it'll only go one way." I narrowed my eyes.

Some of them left. Maybe four teams. It amused me. "Who are you?" someone asked.

I stood up. "Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet, have I?" I looked at them. "I am Albre Indre. Proctor of the second part of the Chūnin Exam. "

"Proctor?"

I had pulled out a kunai and thrown it into a slit in the door, where the lock was, so that it opened. "Oh yes. So you are the ones who have passed the theoretical exam." I took a breath. "There are only two kinds of people who are really fascinating: people who know absolutely everything, and people who know absolutely nothing."

"Quoting Wilde at the Chūnin Exam's test... I wouldn't have thought of that.," said a boy sitting in the back.

"Just like I never thought I'd hear his name." I straightened. "You have an hour and a half. We're gonna meet at the meeting place of the second part of the exam."

"And that's where?!"

I laughed mischievously and folded my hair behind my ear. Then I frowned. "Perhaps you'll have to chase up about it yourself. Whoever comes a second later is out."

And then I used the steam disappearance technique and disappeared from the room.

During the second part they should occupied some hideouts - that was to eliminate three quarters of the participants. I was moving around the whole area. I made it hard for them to work, and I also checked how things were going. During the second hour, I met two more dead genins from Kusagakure and wrote a report. Fifth death. Someone is stalking here and making trouble. Some kind of piece of shit.

I was finishing writing just as Kurou and Daichi showed up. They have returned from a mission with Madara, to which they were leaving early in the morning.

"Everything all right?" I asked them.

"As always, mission accomplished."

"Is Madara here too?" I wondered.

Kurou thought. "I think he said he'd help you with the trash or something."

That dope. "Okay, thanks. Theoretically, you can start to interfere. There are many of them. Maybe it would be great to beautify the landscape a bit. And torment them a little."

"Okay. We will take care of it," Daichi added.

"Thanks."

They nodded and went to work. I left the dirty work to Madara and meanwhile moved to the building where Tobirama was waiting, watching out for the enemy attack. We were supposed to meet there.

*** M /

"Thank God it's over," she said, slamming herself into an armchair by the library. I realized how responsible she had been and how terrifying she had been. She was quite strict. "There are twelve left. But we're gonna have a fortnight now."

I sat down next to her. "Indre..." I began. She looked at me. "I told Hashirama not to give me the next mission. I'll be with you. It might be only two days, but I'll be with you. "

Her eyes lit up and she began to smile. Then she threw her arms around my neck. "You're kidding!"

"Yeah, honey. And bonus... what would you say if we went to onsen and maybe... had dinner?"

"Don't spend too much money, please," I smiled. "It's enough to be only with you."

"You are too modest. At least onsen."

She sighed. "Fine, onsen."

"But I'll take you out to dinner anyway."

"Come on!" She said, laughing. "You still have to do this..."

"Good job, Indre," I said, kissing her forehead. "You did well."

"Arigato..." she said a little gratefully, burying her head in my chest.

A lot has happened. In particular, Indre herself managed to stop several collisions with incredible speed during the duels, while the entire arena was watching. She was incredibly hard in the Chūnin Exam. Not only she devise the whole strategic plan for the second part, but she also managed to oversee all the duels of the third round - without blinking an eye. I was so proud of her.

After the Chūnin Exam, a meeting awaited us on the roof of the main building. Especially jōnins, a few chūnins - including Indre. And those genins who took part in the third round. It was already evening, the orange sky was shining like burning fire. Hashirama has just returned from a meeting with the feudal lords and leaders of other participating villages.

He stepped in front of us with his stupid hat, and Tobirama stood next to him.

"Thank you for making every effort to organize and lead the Chūnin Exam. You did a great job," Tobirama began. Her eyes were closed. " After a meeting with the feudal lords and leaders of other villages, we came to a few conclusions."

Hashirama smiled. "Good. Firstly... further Chūnin Exam will be held in Hidden Cloud in two years' time, as part of a tightening of relations. We have only been allies for a while, but we expect a lot from that. You can report it to all the genins you take care of."

"Hai."

"Secondly, the feudal lords were very impressed by the level of our shinobi. That's why we got and approved the recommendation for promotion to the rank of chūnin for..."

I didn't listen to him, somehow I didn't care which of them had just become a chūnin. But it started to interest me when he got to something else.

"At the same time, we received and approved a recommendation for the direct promotion of Albre Indre to the rank of jōnin without any need for further examination."

Indre stared at him with her mouth open, and so did I, and I didn't know what to say. Hashirama told Indre to step closer.

"On the basis of the conclusion of the Chūnin Exam meeting, on the basis of the abilities and skills demonstrated during the missions and the Chūnin Exam itself, hereby I, Senju Hashirama, The First Hokage of the Hidden Leaf village, promote you, Albre Indre, to the rank of jōnin, with immediate validity."

"It's an honor, Hokage-sama."

"Your performance was admirable. You deserve it," he smiled.

And there was a sparkle in her eyes. She didn't show it - but I saw it. I saw the sincere joy. I saw how incredibly happy and excited she was.

I grabbed her hand after finishing the meeting.

The guys from my team came to see us. "Princess, congratulations on your promotion."

She drew aside her hair from her face. "Thank you."

Kurou caught up with us too and smiled. "I join in congratulations. You deserve it."

Saburou smiled too – surprisingly. "Congratulations, too, Indre."

"Thank you... thank you, I don't bel-"

"Indre!"

We stopped walking. And the big-breasted brunette threw herself around her neck. Oh no. Not this one again.

"Heike!" she smiled.

"Congratulations! You are awesome!"

"No, not even-"

"Quiet. You've been amazing all the time. Celebrate it," she winked at her and then disappeared again.

Indre had no idea what had just happened. I dug at her. "It is true. We should go drinking."

She smiled. "But I'm having a mission in the morning."

"When the time comes," I laughed. "You will be working a lot now. You'll go on harder missions, you'll see. Hashirama won't be so soft on you anymore."

And her expression changed completely. "Really?" She frowned. "So I'm looking forward to it."

We left the building. Those three came with us.

I saw some woman standing by the wall surrounding the main building. Dark brunette, quite pretty. Let's guess. As we approached, she made a step toward us. I didn't know her. But... one of us did.

Kurou wrapped his long arm around her waist. "Hello, beauty," he told her, kissing her hair. "Sorry it took so long."

I recoiled. So Indre did. "It's fine. You smoke too much," she told him with a smile on her face.

"I should tell you this, don't you think?" he laughed. *** Our Czech language has the same word/meaning for 'smoking' and 'blowjob', that's the point

Daichi shook his head. "Dude..."

I turned to him. "What happened, how come I don't know anything?"

He laughed. "You're falling behind since you've got engaged." He took her hand. "If you don't mind, I'll leave you now," he told us.

"You don't have to-"

"Not at all, enjoy the evening," Indre told them, smiling nicely. Okay...

"Thanks. You too," he waved at us.

I just shook my head. I turned to Daichi and Saburou. "When will you find someone? And when did he do? "

Saburou swept his hand. "Women are useless. And he chanced on her a few weeks ago."

"Women are great, but either you have a good slut or a good housewife," Daichi sighed.

Indre laughed. "Haven't you met both in one yet?"

"Honey, there's no woman like that."

"How 'honey'?!" I told him. "This 'honey' is mine. 'Honey', a great slut and a housewife."

"Sure, man, one in a hundred thousand."

Indre turned her head at him. "Women may be great if they have great men." Well, those compliments... I wouldn't expect that.

"Great, I'm going to kill myself right away."

She smiled nicely. "I'm sure you'll find one."

"Tsk... I wish."

14 days later...

"I really don't believe we hadn't got to that until today," she told me as we entered our favorite bar. Turned left. To the most comfortable tables below those dark blue lights. There were so many people that day. We went along those tables and then...

I put my hand on my forehead and laughed.

"What are you doing here?" Daichi said. "It's like on purpose."

I grabbed Indre by the waist. "Let's celebrate."

"We want to celebrate, too," Enryou said. "Come on, come on."

I sighed. Indre wanted to sit down. I restrained her. "Don't even think about it, girl, you won't sit next to Daichi."

She stood close to me and looked into my eyes. "And about what I do or not decides who?" She asked me.

And they had an experience of it. "Wooow," they laughed.

"Madara, it's getting out of your control."

Then she laughed. "Come on, sit down."

"Well, I think so," I said, no longer waiting. "What are you doing here, anyway?"

"It's Friday, so we drink as always," Daichi explained. "What else should we do?"

"Anything else." In the meantime, we ordered. Indre wore a dark crop top. The plunging neckline was covered only by strings – and moreover, it could be seen through them. I liked it. And shorts. She was beautiful.

We were talking about something for a while... until Daichi turned his head toward Kurou and jostled him.

"What are you still staring at?"

He didn't even answer him. I knew his eyes very well. And those were the eyes I hadn't seen for a long time. Full of resentment. I looked at him better.

And Daichi moved his eyes to the direction of Kurou's interest. "Holy shit! You're fucking kidding me!"

Kurou had his hand put on his chin and the elbow leaned against the table. He stared at nowhere. So I looked too.

Some woman... a girl. A brunette. I know her... And then I realized...

His girlfriend was there. She was standing at the bar. With three guys. Who pulled her to each other and played with her. They reached for her and she laughed. And she didn't fight back at all. She drank with them and let them like it. She was touching them too. She reached between one's legs. And Kurou exhaled. It was a deep breath, with his mouth closed, full of hatred.

Indre, on the other hand, was just looking only at him. She watched him. His behavior. Probably.

"Such a whore..." Enryou said.

"Hey, bro," Saburou began. "Does she know you're here?"

He tipped a cigarette into the ashtray. "No, she fucking doesn't." It's going to be bad now. Kurou picked up an empty sake bottle from the table. "What do you want now, Saburou?"

"I don't mind."

"Fine," he snapped. "Whiskey."

And he went to the bar. I didn't want to see what scene he's gonna do there. He knew how to do it. Although he looked harmless, he could be terribly scary. After all, it used to be his job, too. I didn't want to see what was in his head. He was incredibly pissed off - and so were we.

He placed the bottle on the bar and had a new one served. And in the meantime... that bitch noticed him.

Her eyes widened. She became nervous. She stepped forward quickly.

"Good evening, slut," he told her. "I see you're having a good time."

"Kurou! What are you doing here?!"

He looked at her coldly. "What do you think?"

"I... I'll explain it all to you!"

He opened the whiskey. "Yeah. Then explain." And then he drank from it.

"What do you want here, you shithead?" one of the men stepped closer to him. Kurou was still drinking.

A half of the bottle. He wiped his mouth, and looked at him. "Do you want me to smash your skull with that bottle?"

"What do you really think of yourself? Who are you?"

He smiled and looked at him. "Her ex now."

Evidently it amused them well. But he just didn't care. He didn't care about things like this. "That must be great, a woman cheating on you, right?"

He smiled and then smashed the bottle against his head, so it shattered into the thousand shards that flew all around. The guy fell to the ground. "Obviously you want to."

"Kurou, please don't do this, listen to me, please," she came closer to him. She was small against him. Everyone was small against him. "I'll explain, please-"

"Do you think you can make me an idiot? When I'm not here?" he stared at her.

"Kurou, please-"

"How do you explain that you're a whore for three guys here and you really like it? You didn't think I could see you, did you?"

"I'm not a whore for anyone, please let me-"

"I don't care. What I saw was enough for me. You ended this yourself. Done, breakup. I don't want to see you anymore. Have a nice time, bye. "

"Wait, wait, please let me-"

"Screw you... You're just a cheap slut. I told you, breakup. And that's it. I'm done with you. "

"How can you do this to me? You are such-"

She took his hand and he turned to her, almost smashing her too. "What am I, huh?!"

"Kurou, I love you, I love you-"

"SHUT UP!" he yelled so much that it silenced the whole bar. Everything was suddenly quiet. He turned around. "What the fuck are you staring at?!"

And the others started to do their things again. She cried in front of him.

He turned his back on her. "Fuck you, bitch. The end. Have a nice day, nice to meet you. Make an asshole out of someone else, slut."

And he left her there. Went back to our table.

He landed heavily on the seat, immediately pulled out his cigarettes and lit one. His hands were shaking. He leaned back and breathe in the smoke deeply. He took a shot right away. Slammed the glass on the table.

"That was quite hardcore," Daichi said.

"Fucking bitch..." he cursed. "I must always come across a fucking slutty bitch."

"It's our destiny," Daichi said.

"Leave me alone."

I laughed. "I haven't seen you pissed off like this for a long time."

"Fine."

He's complicated. But this can lift up every guy. He would probably like to break something into pieces.

Indre sighed and stood up. "Hm?" I was surprised.

She smiled and sat on the edge of the seat - next to him. She put her arm around his neck and shoulders and stroked his arm a few times quickly.

I stared at her. And so did the others.

Kurou turned his head on her and raised an eyebrow. She smiled.

"That'll be fine, you'll see," she told him with a kind face.

Indre. You cannot apply this to a guy. Especially in front of his friends...

He blinked a few times. Then he smiled. Huh?

"You know how to lift a person up..." He smiled modestly.

She had that wide smile. "I know." And looked at him. "You're a great guy, she's not worth it."

"Great?" Daichi asked.

And she hugged him around the neck. I almost killed her at that moment. I became terribly jealous and sick. But I didn't do anything. She just wanted to help him. She was very kind. Just doing it her way.

"Isn't he?" She said. She stayed like that for a moment. Then she removed her one hand, the one in front, and sighed. "I'm sure you'll find some normal one, you just have to wait a while."

"Indre, you-"

"I am absolutely convinced that we each have someone waiting for us and we're waiting for him. And you just need to meet each other at the right time in the right place. You'll see... you'll meet and fall in love with a great girl who will love you and be willing to die for you. That's what you deserve, that's what you'll get, I know it. "

He shook his head with a slightly desperate expression. Indre, you...

"Girls aren't like that, Indre."

"But yeah, they are," she said. "One is sitting next to you, at least... Yeah, I don't think I'm great, but I'm very loving and selfless..."

He smiled. Even more desperate. Even more. He rubbed his eyes. "God, why do you have to be already engaged..."

She laughed. I leaned more over the table. "I should be a friend and tell you I'll lend her to you, but..."

"I'm not a thing!" she declared firmly. The others were having smiles on their faces. "Anyway, you should stop whining about a shit. Let's talk about something," she suggested and laughed. She bowed her head a little.

Daichi looked at her. "She's sooo cute," he smiled as she bowed her head even more and probably began to blush.

"Stop it already," she said, lifting her head. "Okay. Some topic, um..."

Puppies, kittens, family, friends-

"Let's deal with the movement of civilians in the deep war zone and their safe transfer according to type B evacuation mechanisms."

I was sitting. And without any other movement, I looked at her. Moving civ... I blinked.

Daichi turned to me. "Is this normal?" he asked me.

I stared at her. "I don't really know..."

"Type B ones are a little complicated, don't you think?" Kurou asked, getting a hit off his cigarette.

She shrugged. "Complicated, but more effective."

"I like the A-type 'cause people know what you're doing with them and why you're doing it. It significantly reduces the stress level of those people, which is a priority for civilians."

"However... dead civilians without stress are useless."

How could I even think that this one would ever deal with kittens...

She laughed when she saw the three of us. "What are you looking at?" She winked at us. "Do you want to discuss kittens? We can, I like cats, they're quite nice, hairy..."

They started laughing at it. "Please don't drink anymore," I told her.

Actually, thanks to you... I looked at Kurou, who was laughing too. It's much better. You helped him... with such ease... that no one would even notice. You're not only a great ninja and strategist, but also a great psychologist, Indre. I think Kurou will appreciate it too. You are very kind to help everyone.

She just laughed. She looked at me briefly, as if to tell me that everything was fine and that I shouldn't deal with anything. "So if you want to talk better about kittens..."

End of February, 0606

I was sick that day. When I got up, Indre was no longer in bed. I instinctively went to the bathroom, and when I opened the bathroom door, I saw her kneeling next to the toilet, resting her hands on the bowl.

"Indre!" I shouted at her. Came closer. "What's happening?"

She looked at me. Her hair fell to her forehead, there were black bags under her eyes... and she was pale like a wall, green. I knelt next to her. Her lips were completely dry and the veins in her arms and hands were swollen. She smiled at me when I came to see her. I put my hand on her back, between her shoulder blades.

"What happened?"

"I'm ... sick." Then she turned to the toilet and vomited again. I closed my eyes – not because of my weakness – but to leave her alone. I got up and went to the shower.

After I finished my morning ritual, she was already leaning against the wall. I came to see her again.

"Shouldn't I call for Mito?"

She shook her head. "Mito is pregnant. Let her be. I'll be okay."

I was sorry for her. "At least let me make you a cup of tea."

Indre was better in an hour and I was happy for that. She was then sitting in the room writing something. After a while, I walked around and saw her sleeping, so I took her in my arms and laid her on the bed. I went back to the table to see what she was still doing – and she had been writing her songs all the time. I like this one. It looks... good.

In the evening - or rather at night - we were lying in bed, her head... resting on my chest. I caressed her hair and she was touching my muscles.

"It'll be soon, won't it?" she asked me suddenly.

"Yeah..."

"I hope things won't change much," she told me.

"Why should they change?"

Somehow she blushed... and I still didn't know what she was thinking about. She was lying on her side... took my hand – and her hand was much smaller than mine – and placed it on her belly. She laid it on her belly and smiled at me. "I hope that dress will still fit me..."

I looked at her first... then into her eyes... and at my hand... at her belly. "Wait, wait," I paused in surprise. "Indre, you-"

She was smiling. "Me?"

"You're..."

No, seriously, she must be kidding.

"Yeah... We're having-"

I kissed her. I didn't even let her finish. She was so beautiful. I leaned over her. I didn't understand it at all. There was a pleasant feeling in my heart. "Holy shit! How long?"

"I'm six weeks pregnant," she smiled. Six weeks?

"I probably wouldn't even know if I didn't go to the hospital because of the vomiting. And that was because of my pregnancy, too." She kept smiling at me. I hugged her, rolled her onto my body... so I could see her better. Then I kissed her lips and chest.

"You're the... best woman in the world. I love you," I told her and kissed her again. "I love you, Indre."

"They're boys," she told me.

I was just staring at her for a moment. When I heard the word 'boys,' I was overwhelmed with a kind of impossible pride... and joy at the same time. I'll have... Then I stopped.

"Wait. They're...?"

"There are two..."

Oh boy... I started laughing. "Are you kidding?" I must have blushed. "Are you making fun of me?! Are you having twins?!"

"Um... yeah... I was told they were identical. You have very strong... sperm... probably..."

You're a stupid woman, mocking at me. "And how do you even know they're boys?"

She smirked at me. "I know it. It's supposed to be like that." She was looking into my eyes. "What you did with Hashirama was a sign. They'll be boys definitely."

I turned my head away. "Indre..."

She laughed out loud. "Don't regret it! You know, it actually amused me a lot. I went to the bathroom at night and thought that dogs were whining somewhere. But it was your room. So I laughed and went to bed again. I mean, after listening to you for a while. And it was really funny. You were totally drunk!"

And I didn't know how to react. "Indre, I'm... so sorry, I..." I apologized to her once again.

"I guess I should kill Hashirama now," she said, "but that would be the end of all the fun." Then she hugged me and kissed me. Doesn't she... deal with it at all?

"I don't deserve someone like you," I told her, hugging her too. I loved her. She was expecting twins. Twins! With me! And she believed they would be boys. She was convinced that she was carrying two of my sons. Indre... she was so happy. So... so happy.

"Yeah, you deserve it," she told me without hesitation. "Because you were the one who saved me when I had been in the dark, you were the one who screamed at me when I was dying, you were the one who helped me grow up and stand on my own feet. You were the one who always stood by me. You've always been there for me. You always did everything just for me. And I realize that. I owe you my life, there is no way to repay it."

"You've already paid me back..." Her eyes widened. "You can only pay for life with life. You gave me three of them."

"Two..."

"Three. That means I owe you. I promise I'll... I'll... never leave you. I know I'm saying that again, but I will protect you at the cost of my own life. "

She pressed her head against my chest. "I love you..."

"I love you too, honey. God... I really love you..."

Twins. Boys. You're carrying my sons... I... I owe you everything... Indre... You're...

mine.

Beginning of March, 0606

Indre could no longer drink. One of my old acquaintances convinced me to stop by his birthday party. I particularly didn't want to. However, Indre told me to untie myself, to take a break from my duties. She hugged me, kissed me on the cheek and wished a good evening. I had planned to be there not too long. And most importantly... not to be drunk again.

Among other things, I met one of my old colleagues and a member of the Uchiha clan, Hanari. A typical Uchiha - long black hair, black eyes. And she always had those huge breasts. From an early age... she always wanted to be with me. Someone could say it was such a child's love, one-sided love. I never really liked her. That evening I met her, we were talking, remembering the old days and drinking sake. However... I wasn't in the mood for women. Not since I had Indre at home. I talked also to other people. In the meantime, she went home.

I didn't want to stay too long so I wouldn't wake Indre late at night. I was coming back through the village, little dizzy... and I had no idea what time it was.

I passed a lot of houses along the way. No one was in the village anymore, most of the people were asleep. But there was cigarette smoke coming from one of the terraces. I didn't even realize it.

"Madara!" a female voice shouted.

"What are you doing here?" I asked her.

"I live here, you know."

She looked kind of depressed, so I stopped. "Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong. I am alone. Only."

I didn't know what to tell her. "You should find someone, settle up... and fuck the missions."

She smiled. "It's easy to speak like this. Have you found anyone yet? "

True, we didn't talk about it. Surprisingly. I thought she knew about it. "I'll be marrying the most amazing woman in the world in about a month."

"Ah," she sighed, "congratulations."

"Yeah, thanks..."

What's wrong with her? Stupid woman. Then we were silent for a moment.

"Well, okay, I have to go, she's waiting for me."

"Wait," she said.

"What, Hanari?"

"Madara, I want to spend this night with you."

I recoiled. Raised my eyebrows. "Are you fucking out of your mind? I just told you that my future wife is waiting for me at home."

"A woman or a girl? How old is she?" She asked me, tapping a cigarette.

"Enough to know I want to be with her. None of your business. Good night."

"Wait," she stood up, grabbing my hand and placing it between her legs. Another stupid woman. I should kill her right now, what does she thinks?! "Be with me tonight. Be with a woman who can give you femininity. Be with Uchiha. Just one night."

I was able to free my hand. "Why should I do something like that?" I was dizzy.

She came closer to me and did it again. "I'll give you an Uchiha with a poor blood. And a baby... an Uchiha... with pure blood."

Why are you speaking shits? I had a headache. "I'm already waiting for my children. I don't need another with someone like you."

She got even closer. "Are you sure? Is this what you want?" She reached between my legs.

"Of course. Leave me alone. Go to sleep."

"So come with me. I'll give you..." she leaned closer to me. "Everything you've always wanted."

I cannot. Understand it, bitch. I don't love you. I don't even like you.

Then she pulled me into her apartment and locked the door. As soon as she locked it, she took off her uppers and revealed her praised breasts. I didn't want to look at her, I looked away. But I didn't open the door. I didn't hit her. I didn't go fuck away. I was just standing there. I don't want your fucking baby. However, your chest... and the rest... It's not that bad.

She came to me, took off my cloak. My head was spinning all around, I felt like I couldn't stay on my feet. I saw her black eyes, black hair. I got a taste for her, for what she told me a moment ago. Keep it in your pants, fuck... I exhaled.

"Don't..."

How am I... how the fuck am I supposed to... How...

I saw her in front of me. Dull light. Alcohol.

How...

I pressed her against the wall and started kissing, undressing as fast as I could. I kept replaying in my head that this was fucking wrong, but I couldn't stop my body.

And I didn't even realized how fast I ended up in her bed... and in her...

She grabbed me so tightly that she scratched my back. I didn't think of anything, of any love, I just fucked her in the way I could and didn't see anything else behind it. And it wasn't anything special at all. She wasn't as tight as Indre. But I didn't care. I kissed her breasts and fucked her, holding her hair and enjoying her body.

"You are really great, Madara. Do it to me... Do it for as long as you want..."

I had no problem with that. She was different... she was the Uchiha. She moaned so loud that I heard nothing more. She wasn't as gentle as Indre at all, she was more like... a whore. She could feel it coming at me. I wanted to pull it out.

"No, don't do it. Cum... right where you are. Give me a baby, make a baby for us, Madara..." Is she a cunt or not?

And I just listened to her. Because I just didn't want to pull it out at that moment. Because it was so ... it was nice. Not because of the fucking baby, I didn't care. But staying inside was just great for a man.

I woke up in the morning.

Woke up.

Yes, I woke up.

And it was morning.

Morning.

I was overwhelmed by terrible heat. SHIT, SHIT...! I got up, took my things, and without thinking about anything, I ran to the office. To tell Hashirama I wouldn't go on mission.

And when I came to the office, she was there.

*** I/

I went straight to Hokage's office for some paperwork. I was terribly sick that day from that pregnancy, and Madara didn't return home at night and didn't let me even know. I was worried about him. If something didn't happen to him. To him or anyone else. If he just got drunk, that would be fine. But if he didn't hurt himself somehow. It's Madara, he won't let himself be hurt. I was just worried about him. As I was close to the office, I heard his voice. It came from inside. He was talking to Hashirama and... a woman. I leaned against the wall and listened.

"It is not true!"

"Madara, you know how this works. These things are not solved until there is a problem. If it really happened, I can't tolerate it. Do you remember what you were doing?"

"I was completely drunk! How the hell should I remember that? She pulled me into her house without asking!"

"You went by yourself, Madara. You said you wanted a baby with pure Uchiha blood. I couldn't defend myself against you."

I slumped to the ground, trying to breathe. What...? I kept listening, I listened to everything that was being said there. I was scared. He slept with... another woman... I just couldn't believe what she was saying. I knew Madara, he wouldn't do anything like this himself. She made him an idiot. But... It didn't change the fact that he...

... he slept with her. I couldn't control myself, my head was pounding, so was my heart. I couldn't breathe.

He... cheated on me...

Tears began to flow down from my eyes. I couldn't believe it.

"That's what you say, right? You who slept with so many guys.. it couldn't even be counted! Hashirama, I have Indre at home. You should know for yourself how it is. Indre is pregnant. I would never do this to her on purpose. I slept with Hanari yesterday, I admit, and I probably wouldn't get away with it anyway. But not it was not as she described it! I could barely stand on my feet, I went home! "

"A woman like me to start something? Madara, we were in love as children and this feeling probably stayed in you."

"You're such a lying cunt... As far as I know, I've never wanted your love. I didn't even feel something like love, I was fighting, I loved my younger brother... not you! I have always been with Hashirama rather than with your family or you! I've always hated you, you just bothered me! "

"It doesn't change the fact that I'm getting pregnant soon, because of you. We will raise our small Uchiha together.
Because-"

She didn't have time to finish the sentence. My vapor Long Needle had run through her stomach and torn it to pieces, just after it passed through the wide wall of the office. I opened the door and went inside. She was still aware. Madara and
Hashirama-san said nothing at all, they could not utter a word. I came to her and pulled her hair up. I hit the wall behind with her fucking ugly head.

"I'll talk to Madara later, you lying bitch. What are you, daring to spit lies on my fiancé and Hokage? "

She said nothing at all, staring at me with a mouth full of blood.

Then she maybe decided. "Ah, so you are his future wife." She turned to Madara. "Did you really choose her ?! Why did you choose her ?! Do you want to build our clan with this one?! See what she looks like! Not at all like Uchiha! Why don't you marry me?! Why didn't you choose me?!"

I slammed her head against the wall once more. "Because you're a bawling cunt, that's why." She looked at me with her Sharingan. "Someone like you who absolutely doesn't deserve Madara will not talk to me like that!"

I smiled and looked at her for a change with my Mangekyō Sharingan. "Fine, that's good. That doesn't concern me."

"You..."

"You have really nice breasts," I told her and cut her chest lengthwise with a kunai, then threw it to the ground.

"You..." she began to speak. "How come you have..." I slammed her against the wall again and threw her to the ground. I took Madara's katana before he even noticed and pierced her throat.

"Shut the fuck up..."

I killed her.

I killed her there.

I couldn't get over it. At no cost.

The hatred I felt.

I took a deep breath. I was sick.

She stopped breathing.

And I started falling to the ground. Madara caught me.

"Indre, I-"

"Don't tell me anything. Shut up. And leave me alone."

I gathered all my strength and got back on my feet. I reached Hashirama's desk.

"Hashirama-san, I'm coming here to pick up those documents."

"Oh, of course… here," he handed them to me.

"Thank you."

I left. No words. Without looking. I left the office completely silent.

You... A tear felt on the ground. Cheated on me...

*** M /

She slammed the door behind her and left without a word. I didn't understand what had just happened. Hashirama looked at me for a moment, then at the floor where the corpse lay, and then at me again.

"Was Mito like that during her pregnancy?" I laughed forcibly.

"Madara, have you seen her eyes?"

"You mean Mangekyō?"

"No, I mean her gaze. Absolutely cold, without a hint of compassion. Have you ever seen her like this?"

"Yeah... When they killed her newborn baby right in her arms. When they almost killed me. And now."

"I'd like to tell you that you should go see her, but leave her alone now. Let her deal with it, you'd only make it worse. I'll give you a mission, you're going to deliver me some documents, you should be back by evening. You'll be on shorter missions for a while so you can prepare the wedding. And wait, you said... hoooo! "

"What?"

"You're expecting a baby!" He was thrilled.

"Actually, that's not entirely true."

"Huh?" He didn't understand me.

I took a deep breath and then exhaled. "We're expecting two..."

Hashirama's butt left his chair. "Are you expecting twins?!"

I smiled. "Indre says..." I stopped. "No, she is convinced that they are boys. "

"Congratulations! They'll be the same idiots as you!"

"Shut up you moron..."

He laughed and I smiled. It's useless to me now.

"You don't even know how much I love her. You don't even know how hard this thing has made my life difficult now. Hashirama, I didn't want to sleep with her. She had a crush on me from an early age and I never really liked her. It doesn't excuse me, but I didn't rape her or anything."

"I know," he said. "I know you."

I came back home in the evening. Indre was sitting in the kitchen at the table with a pile of papers while her head was resting in her hands. With a cup of tea. I came to her to hug her, but she pulled away from me. I sat across from her.

"Indre ..."

"Okaeri," she said.

I closed my eyes. "I'm sorry..."

"Okay..."

"I'm sorry... I'm so... so sorry."

She raised her head. "Madara," she began. And I noticed that her eyes were completely red and swollen. She had been crying. Probably the whole day. "Something like this your 'sorry' is really short enough for what happened."

And then she turn her face back to the papers again. I bit my lip.

"Indre, I know... and I know you don't want to listen to me. I just wanted to tell you it wasn't like she said. If I could show you, I would show you." She was silent. "I swear to you on the lives of our children that I didn't want to sleep with her."

"But you slept with her. And swear on someone else's life. I would like my children to live longer than five minutes this time."

"I'm sorry... I... I know..." (・_・;) "I don't apologize, I know. I'm just a stupid dickhead who couldn't push her away when she started..."

"Stupid, you say..."

"I'm not even a dickhead, I'm a terrible dickhead, I'm an idiot who couldn't be even faithful to his pregnant wife. I'm a bastard who couldn't keep his promise. I'm a bastard who couldn't act alone. I'm an asshole that broke your heart, I ... for God's sake, Indre, I... I'm a terrible idiot, I don't know how to apologize to you..." I was completely desperate for all this. I felt a tear trickle down my cheek. I'm crying like an idiot here. "I'm such an asshole ..."

"Shut up..." she told me. "Don't say anything... you'll do better... if you're silent..."

"Okay..."

"I..." she raised her head. Although she was crying... she smiled. "You know...? No one has ever hurt me like that..." Indre... "I mean... me... my soul..." She was so sad. "No one has ever demeaned me like this... made me a dumb cow..." She tried to smile. "Who's waiting for her husband at home... who's worried about him... And in the morning... she finds out... that all the time she's been waiting for him with love..." Shit... "In the meantime he was with another... and fucked her..." she growled.

I didn't want to cry at any cost. But my head was aching. "I hate myself for it, Indre... I totally fucked up and destroyed everything... I hate myself for it."

"It hurt me... But I... We're expecting children together. And those children must have a father... we're having a wedding soon..."

How come... she can talk about a wedding now...

"And I'm really looking forward to it and I'm looking forward to be with you, that we'll be a family... finally..."

You...

"And that's why I have to be strong and overcome it all. So that we can be happy... so that our children can be happy..."

"Indre, please... You don't have to do anything for me anymore ..."

"You'd like me to give you a break, wouldn't you?"

"No," I said immediately. "I didn't mean that!" I said in desperation. "I love you... I want to marry you, I want to be with you, but I don't want you to... have to live with someone who hurt you so much, I..."

"I'm stupid not to send you to hell, but..." She wiped away her tears. "We're just people, after all..."

"Don't talk like that, don't take it so lightly."

"Will you hug me?..." she whispered, shaking all over. I got up, came for her, while she got up too. She sank deep into my arms and buried her face in my chest. She began to cry even more. I'm such a prick... She was shivering with cold and sadness. Such an asshole... I held her tight. How could I ever hurt her like that, damn it... I caressed her hair. Her... Her body was trembling terribly. That now she must cry for me... This little angel who would sacrifice the whole world for me... I'm such an idiot...

A week later.

I was so sorry...

I couldn't get over it at all. She didn't talk to me as much as before. She wasn't upset. She was sad. And she often cried because of it, and I didn't even want to talk to her. Mostly I just hugged her. Although she didn't want it very much.

I sat in the kitchen, watching her red eyes staring at the papers and work. She was so beautiful when she was being focused on something. Why is it always me who had to lose something again? Because of a stupid woman who has been ruining my life since I was a child. I looked at Indre, at her hands, at her face, at her eyes, at her belly. It wasn't just 'the two of us', there were four of us. I didn't hurt only her, but also our children. I hurt my own family, which I loved so much. I felt my head breaking and suddenly a tear fell from my eye and landed on the table I was leaning against. I was mad at myself, I hated myself for what I did to her.

But at that moment, she placed her small hand on mine and stroked me. I looked at her, tears were welling up in my eyes. I blinked quickly so it wouldn't be visible.

"You have a heart, don't you?" Then she leaned across the table and kissed me. She knows everything...

"Wait, you can't lie on the table like that, you'll hurt yourself and our kids!"

She laughed. "Just don't worry, they're not weak. They'll take it after you. They'll be great shinobi. And great men."

At that moment, I got up again because it took my breath away terribly. I couldn't even look at her how awfully stupid I felt. I hated myself. I went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Indre came to see me. She did it often, she didn't mind being there with me. She filled the bathtub with warm water. After I was done, she was already lying in it, her eyes were closed.

"Are you sure it's okay?" I asked uncertainly. Water in her bath was... quite hot.

"I killed so many people last week, and you feel like it bothers me when I have a bath?"

"No, I... I'm sorry."

"Moreover, it's not that hot," she laughed. "It's only you and your cold showers."

"Um... yeah... I understand..."

She smiled. "Madara..." she addressed me coldly and stretched out her hand. I grabbed her. She pulled me close and kissed me. "Thank you for taking so much care."

Don't make a fool of yourself. She's smiling at you. "Um... yeah, no problem... I love you."

She kissed me again and laughed. "I missed you... those two days."

"Don't say that..."

"Oh yes, I have to say that. I'm happy when you're back, I don't even know why, I ... I'm ... better when you're here."

"And have you been okay all the time?"

She placed her hand on her belly. "I am happy to have them with me. I'm looking forward to them. I love them. My beloved boys. I'll love them every single day in my life. My darlings... I love them so much..."

It's starting to exaggerate...

I kissed her forehead. "Indre... I love you too... I love you all... so much..."

March, 0606

"So these are the basic duties for this month." Everyone breathed out loudly. "The last personnel thing is this. Albre Indre," he addressed her.

"Um... hai?"

"I am temporarily withdrawing you from all the missions and obligatory duties, except for crisis missions and those assigned by me, until your safety is guaranteed."

"I see. Thank you."

The others didn't understand. "It is important now that we protect those who come after us. And that includes those who are just getting ready to join us."

I closed my eyes and laughed. Damn Hashirama. He had to announce it now. All the jōnins including for example Heike began to talk to each other, and then a wave of joy broke out. And congratulations. From everyone.

Indre seemed to be holding a tear in her eye. She was happy.

Our wedding was approaching. She was pregnant. And her eyes were suddenly filled with a kind of joy and desire to live. When I looked at her, I was happy too. Because she was happy.

It was enough for someone like me. To see her... smiling.

She really loves those two.

I swear... From now, I'll protect you all... no matter what.

That's what I can do. As Uchiha Madara.

As your future husband.

And your dad, you two.
