The Meeting

When Izumi opened her eyes, the first thing she noticed was how dark and cold it was. Oh, and that she wasn't alone. As she pulled herself into a sitting position, she heard the rattle of chains that indicated that she was chained to the wall she laid against. Izumi looked to her right, only to be shocked at seeing a head full of white hair. Izumi's first thought was that she was next to an old person. After all, what normal person has white hair at a young age? She stood up and walked near the body (since the chains were long) when she heard a groan, scaring her.

"W-Where am I?" The person asked. That was when Izumi saw their face. The moment she looked at his eyes, a flashback of an older man with the same colored hair and eyes flashed through her mind.

'That's Senju Tobirama.' Her eyes widened at the sudden voice that went through her head. How did she know that name? How did she know this person when she's never met him before?

"I-I don't know." She said. "Who are you?" The boy narrowed his red eyes, almost like he couldn't see.

"I'm Tobirama." He didn't bother giving the girl his last name, in fear of her recognizing it. Tobirama was secretly terrified; he couldn't see very well, only blurs. That meant he wouldn't be able to protect himself. And Itama… his little brother was injured badly trying to protect him.

"Well, I'm-"

'Don't say your last name, just tell him your first.' Izumi's eyes widened again at the voice in her head and decided to follow what it was saying, for now.

"I'm Izumi." She said. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Tobirama pulled against the chains on his wrists and ankles.

"They won't give out, I've already tried." Izumi said to him. He narrowed his eyes to get a better look at her. Black hair… pale skin… His eyes widened. There's no possible way that this girl could be…? "You could break it with chakra, but my brothers haven't taught me anything about chakra control yet, so I don't know." She continued, but as soon as she finished her sentence, the memories of Katsumi's death flashed through her eyes. She fell backwards, eyes widened. Izumi had finally remembered.

"Hey, you okay?" Tobirama asked her, but she wasn't listening. She couldn't believe it, Katsumi was dead and it was all her fault. If only she had remembered what had happened before that man knocked her out sooner. She hoped that Madara managed to leave the forest with Izuna, if he didn't… No, she had to believe that her brother's survived.

As she laid there in the cold cell, Katsumi's death flashed over and over through her eyes. She closed her eyes to get rid of the image, but it wouldn't leave. She didn't want to see her brother dying over and over again.

"R-Run."

Someone was shaking her so when Izumi opened her eyes to see, she saw the red one's of Tobirama. But something was different… Everything was so much clearer. She could see the red pigments in Tobirama's eyes, the individual cracks in the walls that she couldn't see before. She could see a small spider crawling up the wall, whereas it was too dark earlier to see anything. She looked back at Tobirama only to see him staring at her face. Tobirama couldn't see well but when he narrowed his eyes, he saw… the Sharingan. He quickly removed his hands from the girl and moved away, as if in shock.

"T-Tobirama?" Izumi asked while sitting up. She crawled forward, fully intended to talk to him, but when he looked at her she saw so much anger… so much disgust. And it was all towards her. "What-"

"Don't talk to me Uchiha." He said to her. She fell back on her butt, confused. What caused the sudden change? Was it because she was an Uchiha? Izumi looked back up, but she felt her eyes start to pound. She pressed the palms of her hands against them, trying to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling, but it didn't leave. Even if she was able to see in the dark, she wanted whatever happening to her eyes to stop!

"M-My eyes, they hurt!" She shouted out. She could feel tears forming in the corner of her eyes. "What do I do? Why won't they stop?" Izumi asked, over and over again. But Tobirama never responded to her, he actually continued to ignore her. Why would he talk to an Uchiha? He hated them, they killed his mother. He had no reason to help this girl.

"Well, what do we have here? Are you two bonding?" Tobirama quickly moved his head towards the bars in the room. He didn't sense the man coming; there must be something in the walls preventing him from sensing. The man talking to them was too blurry for Tobirama to make out, but he knew who it was just by their chakra, it was the man that kidnapped him and took him. Tobirama managed to stay calm, but Izumi was a different story. She quickly removed her hands from her eyes and stared, wide-eyed, at the man standing outside the cell.

"Y-You! My brother... You!"

"Oh? Did the little princess get her Sharingan?" The man teased. Tobirama noticed that Izumi suddenly froze at the word.

"S-Sharingan?" She asked, quietly. There was no way she had activated her Sharingan, it just wasn't done! Sure, many of her clan's shinobi had activated it, but that was when they were at least three times her age, and that was early! And they were men, women never activated their Sharingan! Not even her mother who was known as the strongest kunoichi the Uchiha's ever had.

"Huh, you didn't even realize that." The man shrugged. "Oh well princess."

"J-Just let us go, I swear I won't tell anyone." He scoffed.

"As if. You're going to tell us what we want to know. Then maybe… we'll consider that." Hope flashed on her face. Tobirama felt pity for the girl; she didn't understand that she was getting toyed with. They were never going to leave this place unless either of their clans found them. He didn't know about the Uchiha, but his clan had to be looking for him, he was Butsuma's child after all.

"Get up you white-haired brat." Tobirama stayed where he was, refusing to move. "I said get up!" The man said, hitting the bars. Izumi jumped from the sudden noise, fear flowing throughout her body. What was he going to do to Tobirama? He may not like her, but she couldn't just watch him get hurt. The stranger pulled open the door, but before Tobirama could do anything, he made a hand sign and the chains pulled them both against the wall. "Just in case. We've heard stories about you, Senju Tobirama. You may be a seven year old brat, but you've got the talent for a strong Shinobi, even at your age." The man slapped his hand against his forehead. "Fūin!" Tobirama groaned and fell, his weight pulling against the chains.

"W-What did you do to me?"

"This prevents you from using your chakra."

"What happens if I use it?" The man smiled, causing Izumi to shiver.

"That's for you to find out." He made another hand seal and the chains surrounding the two disappeared. He grabbed Tobirama by the arm and dragged him out the cell, leaving Izumi alone. It was quiet now that Tobirama was gone; Izumi had no one to talk to. That was when she realized that her Sharingan was still on, causing her to have a massive headache.

'Stop the chakra flow to your eyes. That will stop your Sharingan.' Izumi frowned from hearing that voice again, but decided to listen to it because that was the only thing she could do right now. Closing her eyes, she concentrated on her chakra flow and stopped the one going to her eyes. As she opened them again, she felt relief as she was once again surrounded by darkness.

She was startled awake from the cell door opening, revealing a different man from earlier holding a bloodied Tobirama. He threw the boy into the room and closed the door.

"Senju's, those stubborn little asses." The man muttered as he walked away. As soon as Izumi heard the door close from across the hall, she quickly crawled forward to Tobirama who was currently moaning into the ground.

"T-Tobirama!" She cried out. There was no response from him; it was almost as if he didn't hear her. She pulled him into the corner of the cell, the only place with a bed. But you could barely call it a bed; it was only a thin blanket on the floor. As she placed him on the bed, she decided to use it as a blanket instead. She moved him to where his body was facing the ceiling instead of the wall. That was when Izumi saw his face. She felt tears form in her eyes from seeing the wounds. Tobirama's face was so swollen; you could barely tell it was the boy. Both of his eyes were swollen shut, his mouth covered in blood.

'Rip a part of your shirt and soak it into the bucket of water in the front of the cell.' Not questioning the voice, she did exactly what it said to do. But she was only a four year old girl; she didn't really have the strength to rip a shirt. She tried so many times, but she just couldn't do it. That was when she decided to take off her shirt; she had another on underneath it anyways. Dipping it in the bucket, she quickly ran back to Tobirama and started wiping his face, trying not to hurt the boy.

"Tobirama? C-Can you hear me?" Izumi asked him. The boy whimpered and passed out, but not before whispering a barely audible yes. Relief flowed throughout her body.

"Thank Kami." She whispered to him.

A Week Later

The day they came to interrogate Izumi was the day Tobirama started warming up to the girl. He was healing from his wounds, which weren't as bad as Izumi thought they were when she first saw them. Tobirama was grateful for her; if it weren't for her he probably wouldn't be as healed as he was now. She was the one who helped him eat and drink water. He didn't know where she had learned all of these things, but it didn't matter. She may have saved his life; he could've gotten an infection from his cuts which would have killed him if not treated. It also didn't help that he was able to see again; whatever jutsu that man had placed on him wore off.

The two had just finished there breakfast when the same man from last week showed up.

"You, Uchiha, get over here." Izumi's eyes widened from fear. Images of her brother's death and Tobirama's wound flashed through her mind. "Come on!" Taking one last look at Tobirama, she stood up and walked forward, flinching when the man roughly grabbed her arm. What were they going to do to her? Tobirama shakily stood up and walked towards the bars and watched the man take the little girl away. Izumi looked back at him and he felt sick to his stomach. She looked at him with so much fear and he felt helpless, just like when Itama got hurt because of him.

"Please don't hurt her, I beg you!" Tobirama shouted out to the man, shocking himself. But he knew that deep down, they didn't care about her. That's why he felt dread when he saw the man's eyes.

They were going to hurt her and that man was going to enjoy it.

Tobirama felt like hitting his head against the wall over and over again. It was to the point where he wanted to stab himself, just so he could distract himself from the screaming coming from the other room. He didn't realize how much he actually cared for the little girl until now. That's why her screams… they were just excruciating. He was able to keep his own screams inside during his interrogation; he was a shinobi after all. But Izumi… she was barely five. She barely knew anything about being a shinobi. That's why when she came back to the cell not even an hour later, Tobirama was grateful for Kami, she wasn't gone as long as he was. The man from earlier threw her into the cell and left, not bothering to check on them. Unlike Tobirama, Izumi only had fresh bruises surrounding her eyes and neck, she wasn't punched or cut. As Tobirama neared Izumi, she shot up from her spot on the floor and ran to the other corner of the cell and curled up into a ball. She was sobbing into her knees, not caring about the pain she felt in her neck or the other person in the room.

Why did they do this to her? They threatened to take out her eyes, something that had terrified Izumi. She was taught from a little age that the pride of the Uchiha was their eyes, no matter what. Izumi was only four, what did they expect her to know? Asking all those questions about clan location and members, she could barely remember the names of the Elders! Of course she wouldn't know those things they asked!

"M-Madara, Katsumi, Arata." She cried over and over again. "…Izuna!" She wanted her brothers; she wanted to be in their arms and feel safe. She wanted Katsumi alive again. She wanted to play ninja with her twin. She wanted to be carried by Madara and Arata. She wanted to see her father smile at her, no matter how cold he was. She just wanted to go home.

As Tobirama watched Izumi cry, he felt his cold heart crack a little. Right now, she wasn't an Uchiha; she was a little girl who was in pain. He felt a surge of anger flow throughout his body, hardening his resolve.

They had to escape from this place, no matter what.

A/N: Well, here's chapter 4! I'm not so proud of it; this was pretty hard to write… That's why it's a pretty short chapter, sorry! I wasn't sure if I got Tobirama's character correct, after all, he's still a young boy at this time. I'm sorry if you guys are annoyed at Izumi's character, but it's actually quite logical. She's a four (almost five) year old girl being exposed to pain, she barely knows anything about being a Shinobi. But don't worry; I plan on fixing these things very soon :)

I'll be updating In Time next, so you may or may not see this chapter until the end of the week or the beginning of next week, it depends on how busy I am now that school's started. (Maybe earlier if I finish the chapter.)

Thank you to all those people that followed/favorited/reviewed this story! I never thought that with only four chapters I would have 26 followers!

Other than that, to those who haven't yet done those things above, please do so! It makes this girl (me) so happy whenever I get those notifications on my email/phone!

Until next time~
