Chapter 6: Light in the Dark

The days seemed to get shorter and shorter, the one week turned into a month due to planning, dressing, and decorating for the big wedding. Everyone was happy and excited, even Tobirama. At first everyone was skeptical, people thought it was just a stunt to make the clans come together for war or just to make everyone come together faster, that was until they saw the actual bond the two shared.

It was only a one night left until the wedding and Amaya was getting more and more anxious. Hashirama had everything set up on the half of the Senju family rituals, Madara set up the protection and the Uchiha rituals, Amaya memorized both combining major aspects of both into the grand celebration. The Uchiha were very unique compared to the strict and practically scripted ceremony of the Senju. Amaya looked at the scrolls around her; the house maids brushed her hair while her normal maid finished the pattern on her wedding kimono. The Kimono was even more stunning than the one she wore to the festival where Madara and she became engaged; it was white silk with a red pattern under it, the Uchiha crest was sewn on the since she was taking the last name Uchiha, the flowers were beautiful while silk metallic patterns, a beautiful flowing veil that will shield her face and hair until she is revealed to her husband and new family members.

"Amaya-sama you're going to look simply amazing in this!"

"You're over exaggerating a bit, but I do hope I look nothing less than what Madara expects me to look like." Amaya said with a smile, she wrote more in the scroll before her smiling as she hummed.

A soft knock prompted at her door, causing Amaya to look over slightly to see the red haired shinobi who had recently married her brother.

"Mito, is something wrong?"

"No, I have come to admire your kimono, also to check up on where you are with your vows and help you with anything you wish."

"Oh, well I don't think I need much help, I do not mind having your company" she said stopping the other hand maids from brushing her hair. Amaya stood and motioned for Mito to move outside into the garden with her.

Once the two were out in the garden Amaya pushed back her long black hair letting it slack a bit, it was the first time Mito had ever seen her hair all the way down, the length was about knee length, and the appearance of the girl under the moon was awe inspiring. Clearly being adopted by the Senju clan, and possessing the last name Lunar, had struck Mito into looking into the clan more, however there had yet to be anything found, however there was a strange power that circulated the girl while they stood under the moonlight, something that drew her in as though it was a pure light of beauty and strength, like a guardian of the land under the moonlight.

"Say Amaya, do you know much about your birth clan?"

"No I sadly do not know anything about them, I do not even know if they were a clan at all. Considering I have very little chakra and can only perform small medical ninjutsu, I believe I am just a girl who ended up in a shinobi clan due to kindness." Amaya said looking out at the small stream that was before them.

"It is strange that you would have a strong last name that shows a relationship to the moon, it maybe strange but I feel you have a connection to the moon, the spirit of the moon is the spirit of water and it suits you because you are just as beautiful but you are strong as well. .. Anyways this does not matter I mostly wanted to come out to see how you felt before the move, I mean leaving the Senju house and go to the Uchiha is going to be quite the change." Amaya nodded in acknowledgment, she understood, however she was not afraid. Amaya did not fear the Uchiha nor did she fear her soon to be husband, Madara would make sure she would be safe and the village would be safe, the Uchiha Amaya had met all were welcoming to her and were very kind, yes there were some that did treat her a little strangely until they saw she did care about the people she would soon head the house of, all respected her and would lay down their life, as their leader would too.

"Well, I see you do not fear anything do you?"

"I do fear things; however there is nothing to fear here, I am happy with my decision and I am grateful to both clans for making this dreams a reality. All I ask is that my brothers will forever see this as something happy and never sad, I may be leaving here, but I will begin a new with Madara, the Uchiha and we will continue to strive to make this village prosper." Amaya smiled brightly causing Mito to smile as well, Mito was a strong and proud woman but something about Amaya made her warm inside, a bright light came from her and Mito never wanted that light to vanish, it was the light of the village and everyone would strive to keep it lit.

The next day rose very quickly, however Amaya beat the sun and was already helping set up some of the decorations, showing children how to make bows, cranes, and fire lanterns. Amaya laughed with them and played a bit, mothers smiled as they watched her enjoy the presence of the children. Hashirama and Madara walked the village together making sure every detail was matched by perfection, Hashirama was happily helping out with anything and everything, while Madara shadowed, and he stayed his distance from the Senju he knew did not care for him, so he would not let that ruin the day that was to come later. He would help out anything that needed it, but the Senju who worked only wished to have Hashirama's help, making Madara look for some other means of entertainment for the day, and he found it when he heard a loud splash and laughter. Springing forward he saw his beloved in the water with an Uchiha girl, Yukina to be exact. Madara appeared on the water next to the two girls helping both out of the water, he held onto Amaya knowing she could barely sustain herself on the water, unlike Yukina and himself, so she grasped onto him. Turning to Yukina she pointed a figure out and gave a slight mocking glare at the girl.

"See what happens when you want to do things on your own, well I guess it couldn't be helped at least no one got hurt." Amaya stated putting her hands on her hip, however Yukina went from smiling to blushing boldly, Amaya looked at her confused and cocked her head to the side "What is it, cat got your tongue?"

"N-n-no A-maya-s-sama, b-but the w-w-water c-c-caused your kimono…"

"Come on now no need to start being shy." Madara looked down at Amaya only to notice why Yukina was blushing so hard, the light colored kimono clung to Amaya almost as though it was her own skin, her curves were carefully caressed by the fabric and it was the first time he noticed her breast size was not that of small, not even close to small they were practically their own melons'. Quickly before any other men could get a glance Madara quickly picked up Amaya and sprung to the Uchiha head house.

Once they got there Amaya turned to him and poked him in the chest still oblivious to what had happened.

"What's the big deal, no one got hurt why did you bring me all the way here?" Madara avoided his gaze to keep from staring at her; however that was not going very well with the female in front of him. "Hey what's the big deal, Madara tell me why did you bring me here?" Amaya questioned placing her hands on her hips and glaring at the Uchiha knowing the answer would soon come out, he always hated making her mad.

Sighing the Uchiha knew that he had to explain or feel the wrath of his beloved, before they were even married "your kimono is practically see through since you fell into the water, I did not want anyone to sit and stare so I brought you here. I will tell Hashirama to bring all of the things that are needed for you to get ready here."

Amaya looked down at her attire in its current state and saw how it clung to her; a deep blush covered her face as she hugged herself to shield herself from the gaze of the Uchiha.

"Don't worry, I did not see a thing," he lied only to keep from making the girl faint from a blood rush to the brain, and to keep his mind from giving him his own nose bleed "I'll take my leave and have the hand maids get you ready, the next time I see you… we will be bound together by fate."

Amaya looked up at him and smiled as the blush slowly faded away. He walked out of the door and Amaya looked at the room, it reminded her of home, so it wasn't going to be so bad getting to know the Uchiha manor. Then three of the hand maids came into the room bringing make up bags, towels hair details and much more, then a few more came in with the wedding kimono and the hair trinket that would attached to the veil, the beautiful moon crescent that would symbolize the love the two shared before the time of the village. The maids bathed her, brushed and styled her hair, they applied the little makeup needed to fully catch the attention of everyone, and then they started pitting on the kimono. The first red layer went on, then the beautiful white layer with the beautiful designs and Uchiha symbol. The fabric was stunning and form fitting, it draped elegantly like a piece of artwork. Then after everything was set they placed the hair trinket in her hair and draped the long veil over top of her head. Amaya stood facing the mirror amazed at her own appearance; she looked like a goddess that came right out of a stunning scroll itself descending from the heavens. Then the door opened revealing Hashirama and Tobirama, the two who were giving their dearest little sister to Madara, both stood paralyzed by looking at her, Hashirama was the first to finally catch himself, "you look beautiful"

"Do you think he will even recognize me?"

"I do not fear he will know it is you." Hashirama said placing his hand on her face and giving her a hug, she turned to Tobirama who stood with his normal stoic look on his face, she walked up to him and put a hand to his cheek. "Tobirama, please smile for me, it seems like good bye, but I will always be here for you, I love you big brother." She smiled, her eyes started to water so to cover it she quickly hugged Tobirama and sniffled, he was taken back but smiled and embraced her, she was right goodbye was not forever.

The wedding was beautiful, Tobirama stood next to her on the right while Hashirama on the left, the two walked her through the aisle of people and to Madara who wore a traditional Uchiha attire, a black nagajuban, and a black montsuki that bared the Uchiha clan symbol on the back, along with black hakama, he hair was tied back in a loose ponytail.

Tobirama and Hashirama paused at the stand where they were to let her go, Hashirama kissed her check and let go of her hand, while Tobirama walked up to the alter with her kissed her cheek and grabbed Madara's wrist and looked him straight in the eye "never betray her, never let the light die." He said in almost a s whisper, Madara nodded and Tobirama placed Madara's hand onto Amaya's.

The two looked at each other while Madara revealed Amaya to the clans, many could head gasps at how she looked.

"Now, for the vows" Hashirama said turning to Madara then to Amaya

"With this hand, I will lift your sorrows… Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine... With this candle, I will light your way in darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine."

"With this hand, I will cease your worry…your glass will never empty for I will be your wine… with my light I will guide your through darkness… with this ring I ask you to me mine."

The both of them accepted the ring from one another while Hashirama places a ribbon over their hands tying them together. "Now you may kiss your bride!"

Madara closed in more lifting her eyes to his own, she closed them and kissed him, it was their seal they were now one.
