GOODMORINING STARSHINE! THE WORLD SAYS HELLO! Yeah…here's the next chapter! Answers to reviews and whatnots are at the bottom!

Disclaimer: I think we all know what I'm going to say here. You don't? Well, it's the same thing I've been saying for the past five chapters…

After I got home that night I took a shower and went to bed, falling asleep the instant my head hit the pillow.

I was back in the woods, but this time I was alone. I knew the way, but wouldn't go, choosing instead to get myself even more lost until I couldn't tell where I was.

I began to panic, running by each tree frantically. I tripped and fell, twisting in the air so that I would land on my butt.

I was suddenly surrounded by enemies who were closing in on me, glaring daggers. I tried to activate my Sharingan, but it wouldn't…I felt weak, exposed.

And more importantly, I felt danger. I opened my mouth to scream, but I began to cry. I felt so weak which made me cry more.

One of the men approached me threateningly and I cowered, trying to bury myself into the ground. The man reached out and just as his finger was about to graze my arm, he froze and went flying to the side and slammed against the tree.

I stared at the man's crumpled form in horror, afraid that I was next. I felt something warm touch my bare shoulder making my head snap to the right.

I found my face inches away from Madara's, a blush found its way to my face. I felt Madara's eyes scan my body, taking in every detail. I looked down and almost passed out from what I was wearing.

It was a sleeveless, half-shirt and a leather mini skirt with fishnet tights. I opened my mouth to try and distract him from my outfit, but was cut off by his lips pressed against mine. Unlike the last kiss—the first kiss—I felt nothing, not even his lips as they moved against mine.

That's right, I thought. It's because this is a dream…

Those words echoed in my head before I shut up in my bed, drenched in sweat. "Gross," I scrunched up my nose. I couldn't stop thinking about the dream I had just woken up from. How I wished it was real, but at the same time I wished I could forget it.

I growled under my breath as I stood up from my bed, making my way to the bathroom to take my shower.

I stepped out of the shower, tying a towel around my body and grabbed a smaller towel to dry my hair. I heard someone knocking on the front door and the slight shuffle of feet.

"I got it…" a groggy voice murmured.

"Thanks, Alex," I called. I wonder when she got home

I heard the vague murmur of voices as I got dressed in my usual daily wear. "Yasmine! It's for you!" Alex called up the stairs.

I sighed and removed the towel from my hair, letting my damp hair cascade down my back in dripping ringlets.

Quickly making my way down the stairs, I felt my mind reel on who it could be.

Madara, I thought. No, he wouldn't visit…then who? Maybe Izuna or…my mother…?

At the bottom of the stairs, I found that it was Kane—some sort of relative of mine. "Hey," I greeted him.

He gave me a sharp look, telling me that he was here on business. He nodded. "Uchiha-sama wishes to meet with you," he said, not breaking eye contact. I tensed.

"Did he tell you when?"

"Fifteen minutes," he said before nodding his goodbye. I watched him leave stiffly. Why would Madara want to see me? Maybe he wants to talk about…the kiss. Oh kami, please don't let it be that! Anything but that! What if he says it was a mistake? What if he doesn't?

"Um, hello~" Alex's voice broke me out of my frantic thoughts as she waved her hand in front of my face. "Earth to Yasmine! Hello!"

"What?" I snapped, pushing her hand away. She blinked, recovering from my harshness.

"You should get going," she sighed, pushing me out the door. "Or you'll be late!"

I shook my head as she closed the door, noting I hadn't even put shoes on. I shrugged, and began running towards Madara's home as I tried to silence my nervous thoughts.

I knocked on the door and waited silently. The door opened soon after, revealing Madara's sturdy form. I shifted my gaze to the ground as I remembered the dream, a blush forming on my cheeks.

"You're early," Madara noted. "And not wearing shoes."

"Alex kicked me out of the house as soon as we got the news," I explained, not looking up.

"Well, come in," he said, stepping aside to let me in. I nodded in acknowledgement before shuffling by him. "I suppose you are wondering why I called you here?"

I nodded.

"It's about the mission," he explained. I stiffened. "I should have discussed this with you right after it happened, but…are you feeling alright? You're bright red."

"Um…yeah, I'm fine," I said. "You were saying?"

"I wish to know what you and Hashirama discussed," he explained.

I felt a sting of disappointment, but pushed it down. "We discussed the assassins' movements and goals and Hashirama told me that he would discuss this matter with the clan's elders and send word to us once they come up with a decision on what to do."

He nodded. "Alright," he said, staring at the wall. "Is that all?"

"I'm over here, Madara," I raised my hand. He looked over at me and nodded. "Madara, your eyesight is worsening, isn't it?"

"It's nothing," he insisted. "Izuna and I have already planned the date that I'm going to take his eyes."

I nodded. "So…is Izuna going to…die?"

"Yes, it's for the clan," he explained. "We're doing this for the clan."

"Okay," I trailed off, walking towards the door. I stopped in front of the door and turned back to Madara. "Madara?"

"What is it?"

I walked up to him, pressing my lips against his, feeling warmth spread through me as he began kissing me back. I grinned and wrapped my arms around his neck at the same time he wrapped his arms around my waist.

He licked my bottom lip, gently, demanding entrance which I gave to him slowly, making him grow impatient. I allowed him to dominate as his tongue explored my mouth.

I broke the kiss, needing air, but didn't release my hold on the Uchiha. "Sorry," I smirked. "I just needed to know…"

"To know what?" he prompted when I didn't finish my sentence.

"If you would kiss back," I told him. "I should leave though…"

"Hn."

"There you go again!" I exclaimed in mock frustration, pulling away from him. "Hn."

He smirked, shaking his head.

I grinned. "Well, goodbye~" I waved as I walked through the door, walking in the direction of my home.
