It wasn't the first time you saw Uchiha Madara threaten someone, especially someone's life. The first was the handmaiden who was the source of the hearsays about your first few nights with the Uchiha Clan Head as his wife. Now the second being one of the Elders who happened to bump into you by accident.


You believe it was so, just an accident. After all, how else would he know that you were about to open the door at the same time he opened it and walked outside. The old man wouldn't have known, and he said so himself, that he didn't notice you.


You almost fell, but you were saved before your body could hit the floor. You weren't hurt at all, so you had not the slightest idea what else could have warrant Madara's murderous intent that was so intense you started trembling again.


You wanted to tell Madara to stop, but you were unable to find your voice. His bloodlust felt suffocating and you couldn't move.


"My lord,"


It was his confidant who spoke, Shinsuke, who stayed close to you and must have noticed you were trembling a bit.


"My lord, shall I escort the Elder back? Your wife desires to be alone with you."


When you realized you had stopped trembling like a leaf, you slowly looked at Shinsuke who looked back at you. His face remained stoic, as it usually does, but his eyes spoke something that you couldn't quite pinpoint but you were somehow thankful for his interrupting nonetheless.


Yet, when you look back at Madara, he's still glaring at the Elder.


Until you finally speak.


"My lord," you called, finding the voice you lost earlier. Only when you called did Madara's glare slowly vanish.


He looked at you, only briefly, before he took a step towards the Elder. They're not too far but not too close for you to hear what Madara said.


"I shall let it slide the second time to honor my father's respect towards you," Madara said, his voice low and threatening. "But I shall not let it slide the third time. I will have forgotten my father's respect towards you by then."


The Elder visibly gulped but held back the fear from clouding his expression before he finally turned around and Shinsuke followed, closing the door behind him.
