We walked around for days until we came upon a small town. The town looked simple and bland, but it excited Ninami and me. We have no idea why, it just did. Though, maybe it was the fact that we could act like normal people, and no one would shun us.

We soon got settled in and everyone welcomed us. It seemed like they hadn't seen a new face in a while and they liked us. It was comforting to know that Ninami was accepted more here and there instead of just in our little circle of 'family'. I smiled as a young woman offered us a room.

"Of course, we already thank you for your hospitality." I said kindly, following the woman.

Two Months later...

Ninami stepped through the Uchiha's gate, looking around for Izuna. She didn't want to explain the growth in her stomach. She knew he'd joke about her getting fat, and that is when she would need to tell him. But she couldn't.

Saiyami wrapped an arm around Ninami's shoulder saying, "Don't worry. It's a good time to tell him anyway."

"Saiyami, you don't get it." Ninami snapped. Saiyami rolled her eyes.

"Yes, I do. You just don't like me because I understand better than you." She bragged.

"I don't want to do it." She whined softly in Saiyami's ear. "I don't want to tell him."

"He'll live." She assured

"But Madara will kill me." She hissed.

"I will have to sure he doesn't then, won't I?" Saiyami calmly stated, stepping in front of Ninami.

"You're getting nervous, and I don't like it."

"Well, I have a good fucking reason." She grumpily informed.

"I know, I really do." Saiyami sighed and hugged the girl. "I'll help if you want. I know they won't hurt you."

"Madara will want blood." Ninami whispered, a deep sadness in her voice.

"Oh sweetie, that's just him." Saiyami said, trying to lighten the mode.

"I know, I know." Ninami laughed. "But maybe he possibly might not want my babe..." She trailed off, looking in the distance behind me. "Gotta go!" She yelled in the red head's ear, and then took off.

Saiyami stood there dazed a little. "What?" She mumbled, shaking her head at the spot where Ninami used to be.

Saiyami's POV-

"Saiyami." A deep, smooth voice greeted. I matched the owner of the voice and got nervous. Why of all people did Madara have to show up?

"Hi." I said quickly, her eyes going a little wide. "Whatcha doin?"

"Why are you acting like that?" He asked casually, walking around to face me.

I looked to the side and squeaked, "Nothing! I mean no reason."

"You a bad liar." He deadpanned. I turned to face him giving him a blank look.

"Am I?" I asked in a serious monotone, that was quickly broken by a smile, that I couldn't keep down. I just wanted to hug him!

He nodded. "Pretty much."

I rolled my eyes informing him, "You couldn't tell if I was lying even if the lie slapped you in the face."

He raised an eyebrow. "Are you really so sure about that? I mean, I have known you for a long time, Saiyami. It would only be natural to be able to tell if you're lying. Plus from being around you for awhile you notice small things, like finger twitches, smiles fading slowly, and also the tone in your voice."

I furrowed my eyebrows, giving him a questioning look. "Are you saying you watch me? You little stalker."

He sighed loudly. "No, that's not what I was implying, try to understand."

"Oh, I do, I just don't get it." I said sadly.

"Get what?"

"Well, I haven't seen you in months and yet, you don't even really say hello."

"I said your name."

"Well, still."

He paused for a moment and I crossed my arms and looked away.

"Hello...?" He tried. I looked at him as if he had done something stupid, and he gave me a smug smirk.

"Well, it doesn't matter now, stupid." I sighed as his smirk faded a little, but not all of the way. I stepped forward slowly, so I could grab his wrist. "Come on, I want to find the others."

"Well, speaking of others, why did Ninami run off when she saw me?" He asked, letting me drag him down the street. I shrugged.

"I think she said something about having to use the restroom." I lied easily.

"Oh..." He said softly, not sure what else to say to that.

'Told ya you wouldn't notice if I lied to you.' I thought in a bittersweet tone.

"So," I started "Where is Izuna?"

"He's helping Kai, but he'll be done soon."

"Oh, that's good. Did you plan on meeting up with him, or should we go back to the house?"

"Back to the house."

"Ah, well, come on. I'm excited, even if you're not. I missed both of the boys."

'As well as I miss Kirian...' I thought bitterly, my cheery face downcasting a little.

"What's wrong?" Madara asked, falling into my steps.

"Well... nothing, it's nothing."

"Saiyami," Madara started, a demanding edge to his voice. "What is it."

I sighed, my face going back to cheery, even though there was a thick feeling my my stomach. "I am just a little tired, Ninami wouldn't let me rest the whole time, so it was kind of tiring." I laughed a little. I shook my head and began to drag him so more so he couldn't see my deep frown that formed like the dropping of bricks.

As I dragged him, the heaviness in my heart lifted a little and I smiled easier.

I pulled him through the house's door front door, down the maze of hallways I had gotten used to, and into the living room. I dragged him near the couch, and let go of his arm, motioning him to sit.

He did so and I plopped down next to him. I leaned back and

"Sitting is nice." I whispered, earning a chuckle from the Uchiha.

"So," He paused, and I could picture the heisitantion on his face. "You, were lazy the whole time?"

"Yep!" I chirped. I heard him sigh. "Hey, don't judge, I am healed."

"You were injured?" My body stiffened at his tone. I cracked an eye open to see his face. He was watching me carefully, looking for a scar of something.

I chuckled weirdly, "No, it was a metephor."

His gaze soften to his normal one that wasn't so protective.

"Good." He mumbled. I shrugged in agreement.

"So, are we just going to sit here the whole time?" I asked, my head rolling so I could see his cute face.

"What do you mean? Would you like to talk?" He asked politely, uncertainty clear in his soft voice.

He sat back, body forward.

"Yeah," I nodded, "So, what did you boys do while we were gone?"

"The normal." He answered nonchalantly.

"Good, I guess."

"I guess, but it was kind of boring, if I say so myself."

"If it's so boring, then why do you do it."

His eyes turned my way.

"Because, I'm the new leader."

I nodded, then my eyes lite up, and I turned to him beaming.

"Oh my God! That's amazing!" I said happily. he smile lightly.

"I still have some adjusting to do before I can say it's amazing." He stated.

I looked at him, my eyes scanning his face and said, "You looked tired." He scoffed.

"I am."

"Oh, you can go to sleep, I wouldn't mind. I promise. I wouldn't want you to be sleepy while I talk to you, plus I might go to sleep as well." I sighed and a yawn wheezed passed my lips, making me chuckle a little. "See?" He snickered softly and nodded, closing his eyes and leaning back. I did the same, a pleasent smile on my face.

Before I knew it, I was snoring and very comfortable.

XxX

I opened my eyes as someone whispered. The room was dim and I couldn't see much, but I could make out two figures. I didn't react in anyway, knowing it was Ninami, and...Izuna. i yawned and went back to cuddling with the snuggly object that I had stuffed my face in. i heard Ninami squeal lightly and my snuggler groaned and shifted a little. I moaned in disagreement and shifted as well. I felt my snuggler tense and squeezed it a little, to try and get it soft again.

"Umm..." The snuggler went.

I groaned, not want to be talk to. "Go away." I snapped.

"Umm..."

I sighed, "Shut up."

"Umm, Saiyami." I growled and looked up.

"What?" I asked grumpily. I looked around and then at my snuggler.

It had a face. It was one that looked like Madara, but I would never do that. There was a nice warmth coming from the snuggler that I didn't want to give up. The comfort my snuggler gave me was nice. I didn't want to move.

"Could you please get off of me?" The snuggler asked.

"Never." I whispered, snuggling more into the snuggler.

"Saiyami, off." There was another giggle.

"No, shut up!" I stuffed my face into something soft and kind of firm, but I liked that it was firm. I sighed. "This smells like flowers." I leaned into it more with the side of my head and took another whiff. "Ahh." I breathed.

The object stiffened again and I pounded my head on it a little, trying to soften it. It did softened and turned even warmer.

"Saiyami," Ninami cooed, grabbing me by the waist and ripping me away from my snuggler.

"NOOOO!" I whined, fake crying a little. Ninami laughed.

"Well, she never has been easy to wake up." I threw my arms out in front of me.

"I...can't reach...snuggler..." My voice got softer and more strained as I spoke. I moaned and gave up, flopping on the floor.

"Saiyami get up." Ninami ordered, kicking my side.

"Go away, I'm hibernating." I mumbled, snuggling into the hardwood floor.

"If you were hibernating, then you wouldn't be able to talk." Ninami retorted.

I heard a sigh from the couch area and then soft footsteps that were coming towards me. I stiffened a little, and then froze, suddenly a little more awake, when someone picked me up like I was nothing.

"I'll take her to her room." Madara spoke tiredly. I took a deep breath in and notice he smelled like the snuggler. I snuggled closer, accepting his natural warmth. A ripple went through his body as he chuckled a fondly at my movement, but I didn't mind it.

Soon enough we were to my room where it was fairly cold. I clung to Madara's neck, not wanting him to let go of me.

"Warm," I mumbled, squeezing him. I sighed.

"Saiyami let go." Madara ordered faintly, no sense of power behind it.

"No, snuggle." I spat sleepily, resting my head on his face. I heard him sigh and give in, leaning down, and climbing over me, then flopping down beside me. I sighed and snuggled closely to him. He chuckled and did that same. I felt a smile spread on my lips as I inhaled his scent unintentionally. I licked my lips, then fell back asleep.
