In Another Life

Beautiful Moon

I do not own Naruto.

Hinata had been expecting something to go wrong for a while now, it was too perfect. They had dealt with smaller issues all over, but whoever was trying to create a Rinnegan hadn't showed themselves. She wasn't quite sure why she was looking for issues, other than the fact that no one had come to disturb the shrines for Indra or Ashura. She scanned over the shrines and sighed, a hand on her hip. This made no sense, it had been a long time since Tobirama had been brought back by Madara. She glanced over to said man and he just watched her in silence. She could see the amusement in his eyes, he was plotting something. She rolled her eyes at him, but deep down she loved this. He was adorable in all forms of the word, shocking she would ever think of the towering man that way.

She looked up at him and rolled her eyes, she knew he enjoyed being taller than her. She also knew she was never going to get taller than she was now, but she also knew he would eventually get taller. He propped his chin up on the top of her head as he wrapped his arms around her. He seemed to be enjoying this peace, which she could understand... since the day he learned to fight that was all he had ever been able to do. Fight... that was all he had known.

She reached up and grabbed his arms gently, rubbing a cheek against his forearm. "Hinata..." he mumbled into her hair and she forced her head up to look at him causing him to smile down at her. "We have been discussing our dreams for the village once more." He said and she smiled. This was good, she hoped they could continue their dreams and build them up better than they had before. She knew it was going to take years still to be able to get to that point, as they were all still younger than they were when the village was built. But that was honestly only about two years away at least.

He released her from his grasp and spun her to face him once more. He took both of her hands in each of his and he was slowly leading her around, in some sort of little dance. A wide smile crossed her lips as he dipped her back, then pulled her back up to him. One hand moved to her hip and she place her hand on his shoulder, enjoying the little dance with him. "Didn't know you were elegant enough to dance." She snorted and he gave her a dirty look as he spun her away from him, only to pull her back in.

"There are many things you don't know about me." He whispered into her ear, causing a deep blush to coat her cheeks. 'Damn this man and his ability to fluster me.' She growled in her mind, only for her eyes to flutter shut at the feeling of his breath on her neck and his nose trailing up her jaw. She opened her mouth to say something, but he silenced her with his lips. He tilted her head back and tangled his fingers in her hair ever so gently. She moved her lips against his and he returned the gesture. This was all they did, and yet this was enough for the both of them right now. The feeling of kissing until they were breathless was amplified by the bond of their chakra.

It was addicting and she knew they both were wondering what it would be like to do other things together, but they knew that they couldn't risk pregnancy or try to settle down with the threat of a rinnegan user looming about. "Madara..." she muttered against his mouth and he smirked at her as he pulled back. "Not here either." She said and he chuckled and offered her a hand. She took it and they made their way back to the Uchiha compound. "Hope your ancestors aren't perverts like you." She sighed and he gave her an appalled look.

"I'm not a pervert!" he snapped and she laughed and shook her head. "Peeping on me while I'm bathing is being a pervert." She said and a blush covered his cheeks and he glared up at the sky. "I forget you can see in three-sixty." He muttered softly, the blush darkening on his cheeks. She huffed in amusement, well at least she could fluster the almighty Madara.

He had felt it, the massive presence was pretty far, but he looked over and noticed that Tobirama had sensed it as well. He frowned and took off that direction, Tobirama hot on his heels at this point. "Shouldn't we wait for Hashirama and the others?" he asked and Madara frowned. "No, this is something I want to handle on my own, to protect the rest of you." He said and Tobirama scowled at him. They were a good distance away from the rest of them anyways, so it would do no good to wait on them. Tobirama and himself had been out on a scouting expedition to check on everything once more. He looked over at the white haired man once more.
