Chapter 13: Captured

Hashirama's P.O.V

Father didn't want to talk to Yoshima... And Yoshima didn't want to talk to father.
So father told me to go tell her about who she'd marry.. I can't believe he wants her to get married.. AT THIS AGE!

"Hashirama, are you ok?" My mother stopped me and placed her hand on my forehead.
"I'm fine.. Just thinking."
"Whatever your father does, he's doing for you..." She said.
"But, it's never right." She sighed.
"What can we do about it?"
I just stayed silent and walked past her.

I'll find something to do about it.

I entered Yoshima's room.. To reveal an open window.

She went out?

Yoshima's P.O.V

I woke up and I was in someone's arms. They were running.

"Who, who are you?" I asked feeling weak.
"Quiet Senju Princess!" I realized the Hagoromo clan crest on their clothing.

Then memories were flowing into me like a river.

Flashback

I ran away from Haru.

"What was he trying to do?! That's just gross!"

I stared up at the sky as tears rolled down my cheeks.

"...so peaceful.."

I heard footsteps.

"Haru, I don't want to talk!" I turned around to reveal a member of the Hagoromo clan.

I got into a fighting stance.

"What do you want?"
"We'll find out soon enough, won't we.."

***

I'm so stupid!

"Let me go!" I yelled. I realized my body was numb.. I couldn't move at all.

"I've poisoned you." He said and my eyes widened.
"Don't worry, it will ware off eventually."

Am I really being Kidnapped?

Madara's P.O.V

Today was the day, I'd kill Yoshima..
I was on my way to the Senju compound.

My plan is to take her and kill her elsewhere.

I don't know if I can do this though.. It's for Shizuko and Izuna... I can do this!

I reached the Senju compound.

My eyes immediately caught Hashirama.

Many of the Senju were out. It was really late. I don't understand.

"Princess Yoshima has been kidnapped by the Hagoromo clan." Hashirama said.

My eyes widened.. Why would they do that?

They knew I was going to kill her.. It's my job.

"Apparently there's a piece offering..."
"Which is?"
"The clan leader must kill himself or Yoshima will die in 24 hours."

They wanted to get rid of the Senju themselves, huh?

"There's no way the clan leader will kill himself for Yoshima." Someone said and I gritted my teeth..

Why am I feeling so angered? I was coming here to kill her myself. Did I make myself believe that but I wasn't going to kill her?

I-I'm confused.

My head hurts..

"You still exist? Madara! It's been awhile!" I heard a laugh behind me.
"Hashirama..." I muttered.
"What are you planning?" He asked.
"That's none of your concern."
"You overheard me..."
"Yoshima's gone.." I said and I coughed.
"Are you getting sick?"
"No I'm not idiot!" Hashirama got all depressed.
"Did you come here for Yoshima?" He asked.
"Goodbye Hashirama." I dashed away. My body is heating up.

Yoshima's P.O.V

I was chained up against a post.

"So this is the Senju Princess?"
"Yes clan leader."
"I thought she'd be more...more...frightened. Are you frightened Yoshima Senju?"
I stayed silent.

I felt a slap across my face. My eyes widened.
"Speak!"

I got slapped again.
"Why won't you speak?"

I got punched in my stomach.

I didn't speak at all.
"I'll punish you until you speak!"
I got punched in my stomach. This time blood left my mouth.

"Have your parents taught you any manners?"
"...I shouldn't talk to strangers." I said and got an angered look from the clan leader.

I started to punch me over and over again.

"That's all for now. I'll be back to ask more questions very soon.." And on that note he was gone.

I felt my vision get blurry and I passed out.

Madara's P.O.V

My mission... I changed it quiet a bit...

I'm not killing Yoshima... I'm going to save her.
I won't let them kill her.

I was running as fast as I could to the Hagoromo compound.

My head was pounding, my ears were ringing... I was using every ounce of my energy to stay conscious..

I don't know why, but I was losing my mind.
