Madara sighed softly as he sat in the rather large office. Their dream came true. The village was formed, the clans seemed to get along better... But something wasn't right. Madara knew it. The Uchiha glanced out of the window, resting his cheek on his hand. A few raven locks fell in his face as he closed his eyes, trying to get rid of a headache. Work can wait... Hashirama was in charge of paperwork anyways. Madara got the liberty of being in charge of everything else. All Hashirama had to do was sign a couple papers a day. Lucky bitch.
After sitting there for about an hour, Madara decided that he would go for a walk. Hashirama was going to get there any minute now anyways.. what could possibly go wrong hm? He looked around the village and smiled softly to himself, hearing the sounds of children playing and villagers talking. He looked around at all of the little shops and homes. Everything seemed to be in place... But something just was not right. Madara sighed softly in slight frustration. He hated when he didn't know what was happening.. and he knew something was up. He just hasn't found out what it was. Yet.
He made his way out of the village, happy that he went unnoticed. They were always stopping him.. the villagers. It was usually some girl.. or guy.. that would flirt with him, but every now and them a kid would stop him for various reasons. He looked up at the sky and sighed inaudibly, seeing a star. "Hm.. it's already this late?" He asked himself quietly, walking into the forest. Hey, even someone of his stature is still like a rebellious teen every now and then. He liked being out late anyways.
He continued walking and blinked, coming into a small clearing. "Hmm? I don't remember this... Maybe I walked too far.." he sighed to himself but immediately took it back, looking at the breathtaking sight in front of him. It was a waterfall, surrounded by various plants and even some animals. He walked up to a large flat rock and sat down. "How the hell did I ever miss this?" He looked at the pond in front of him, where the waterfall drained into. He saw a couple of coy fish swimming around and smiled to himself. "I like it here..." He said softly, slipping off his shoes. He sighed and rolled up his pant legs, letting his legs slip into the water. It was cool, but not too cold. He laid back and stared at the night sky. The sky was clear, meaning Madara could do something he loved. Stargazing. Yes. The big bad Madarawr loves looking at stars. He looked at the full moon, which stood out beautifully against the black sky, and squinted a little, looking for a certain spot. It looked almost like a heart. Once he found it he smiled softly, resting his head on his arms, which were now behind his head.
He frowned slightly as memories started flooding his mind. Of him and Hashirama as kids. Of their faces when they found out each other's surnames. Everything. He remembered one specific occasion when they wanted to make their own jutsu. Just the two of them would know it. It took weeks, but they finally made one. "Hm.. I wonder if he still remembers it... Probably not..." Madara sighed softly for the umpteenth time and just looked at the sky, trying to clear his thoughts.
He looked around at the stars and everything else for quite some time before deciding it was time for him to go home. heh.. He could barely call it home, but he did. He still had some people that cared about him, so he was still at peace. Kind of.
He took his legs out of the water and let them dry off before slipping his shoes back on and fixing his pants. "Well.. better get some sleep.." He sighed, making his way back to the path. He looked ahead of him and blinked, seeing someone walking towards the village. "Hmm...?" He tilted his head a little and blinked again. 'Oh.. just Hashirama...' He thought to himself. Said man turned around, which stunned Madara a little, considering the Uchiha gave no sign of being there.
Hashirama sighed and walked back to Madara, who was frozen in place. "There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you!" He scolded, looking at the slightly shorter male.
"Was everything okay?" Madara lifted a brow, looking at the other.
"Yes but you shouldn't just leave like that!" The Senju sighed, resting his hands on his hips.
"Noted" Madara said slightly tiredly, walking past the Senju, who sighed again.
"Madara." He said, catching up to the other.
"What?" He sighed over dramatically.
"Why do you want to run the village when you're hardly ever there!?" Hashirama asked.
Madara bit his lower lip and stayed silent for a bit, making the atmosphere a little awkward. "You wouldn't understand.." Madara sighed and split paths with Hashirama, going to the Uchiha compound. Hashirama sighed to himself and went the other way, going to the Senju compound.
