Through It All | Uchiha Madara

(20) Happiness

I scoffed and she laughed.

"It seemed you know a bit about healing."

She looked up from my hand," Healing? No. Plants, yes."

She had managed to clean up my injury but it wasn't completely gone.

I got my hand out and put it over my cut and she watched with wide eyes as the cut disappeared.

"How did you-"

I cut her off,"There's so much you don't know about shinobi."

"Like what?" she said leaning closer to me.

I blinked twice,"I rather not tell you right now," I said.

There was a silence.

"What happened with you and your family?"

She smiled,"We're good. Why...are you concerned?" she said dragging out the last word.

I rolled my eyes at her and she giggled before looking down at the ground at nothing in particular.

I wondered what she was thinking but I discarded the thought once she looked at me with straight eyes.

"What do you think of me?" she asked quietly.

There was a silence.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

She looked down again,"Does my presence bother you?"

I shook my head and she stared down again.

...
...
...

"What are you really trying to ask me?"

She blushed,"You know how I feel about you...have your feelings changed towards me?"

I felt tension fill the air and I looked back at her.

"I'm not sure," I said.

She sighed and looked at my hand before looking back up at me.

"Can I?"

I gave her my hand not exactly knowing what she was going to do with it and to my surprise she interlocked our fingers and we were holding hands.

She looked up at me and seeing as my facial expression hadn't changed she gave a sigh of relief.

She smiled,"I'm happy I can do this much."

Mitsuko POV

I stared down at our hands as I felt a tingling sensation fill me up.

I was happy.

Suddenly I saw Madara's hand extend and take my other hand.

I stared at him in silence with a blush as I felt my heart begin to skyrocket.

He pushed me towards him and I landed on his chest and I was beginning to run out of breath.

What was happening? Was this real?

His arms wrapped around me and he rested his head on my shoulder making me stiffen but then relax.

"M-Madara?"

He said nothing.

I stuttered his name out again and he finally responded.

"This is what you wanted me to do right? Actions are better than words."

I blushed,"So you like me?"

He said a quiet maybe and I gripped his shirt before burying my face in his chest.

He stroke my hair and we stayed like that for awhile until I decided that I should leave.

I gave a small bow,"Bye M-Madara."

He nodded and I walked away with a smile on my face.

I took a deep breath out as the tingling in my heart continued.
