Chapter 33: Yoshidara

Yoshima's P.O.V

"Haru!" I said running to him.
"Oh.  Hi." He said in a sad tone.
"What's wrong?"  I asked confused.
"Nothing." He said and turned away.

"What's up?" I asked.
"Nothing." He said and I looked at him confused.

"Madara told me something crazy yesterday.  That you like me." I said and his eyes widened and he blushed.

He grabbed my wrist and pinned me against a tree, "Why is it crazy that I like you Yoshima?"

His face was inches away from mine.

"Move away."  I said.
"No.  I want you to here me out.  Stop trying to push me away!" He yelled angrily and my eyes widened in fear.

"I'm madly in love with you Yoshima. Why don't you see that?!" He said saddened.

I pushed him away causing him to stumble on the ground.

"I can't return those feelings." I said.
"It's because you like him, Madara Uchiha right? The one who killed your mother!" He said and I slapped him.
"Shut up!" I said and ran.

I sat in my room and stared out the window.

"Haru you idiot." I sighed.

"Yoshima!!!" Hashirama ran into the room.
"What is it?" I asked with an attitude.

Hashirama went in his depressed state.

"B-Brother! I'm so sorry!" I got up immediately shaking him trying to snap him out of the depression.

"Go to the mountain at sunset." He said.
"Which I mountain?"
"The one where Madara and I once had a race."
"Why?"
"Madara needs to talk to you."
"I'm not going." I said sitting down beside the window.

"HEY! YOSHIMA!" Hashirama yelled.
"What?"

Hashirama stared me in the eyes, "STOP BEING STUBBORN AND GO SEE MADARA! You are acting like everything's about you! Madara is also a part of the relationship! Listen to what he has to say!" He yelled at me angrily.

My eyes widened, as a tear rolled down my cheek.

"Yoshima, I'm sorry!  I'm so sorry!  I'm really really sorry!" Hashirama said hugging me tightly.
"Am I really acting like that?"
"... Kind of.."

"I know deep down you love him.  Stop storing that away just because of what happened during the war." He said.

"He's really hurt.  He really loves you."
"Really?"
"Yes."

"Go see Madara.  Hear him out." Hashirama said wiping my tears.
"Okay."

Madara's P.O.V

"I don't think she's gonna show up." I stood watching the trees down low moving.

"This is where the village will be, huh?" I sighed and turned around.

"Madara..." I looked up to see Yoshima.
"Yoshima." I said shocked.

I started to laugh and I placed my hand behind my head, "I didn't think you'd come."
"I'm going to hear you out." She said standing in front of me."

I took a seat and she sat beside me as we stared out in the distance.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" I said and she nodded.

"I know I have hurt you.  I killed your mother by my own will and I'm sorry.  I felt the need to avenge my mother's death." I said sighing.

"Yoshima, you killed Shizuko in front of my eyes." I said and I realized her eyes widened and slowly went back to normal.

"It hurts a lot, but I don't let that stop me from loving you." I said.

I held Yoshima's hand and brought it to my mouth.

"I know your feeling pain, I'm feeling it too.  We can get past this obstacle together.  Be with me again.  Be my girlfriend Yoshima.  I promise I'll wipe your tears, I'll take away your fears, and I'll always be with you.  Please be mine." I said kissing her hand and her eyes widened.

She was silent for awhile.

I got up, "I'm guessing that's a no.."

Yoshima's P.O.V

I watched Madara walk to the edge of the mountain.

"Goodbye Yoshima.."  He smiled and fell over.
"MADARA!" I got up and jumped over.

I was pulled into his arms.

"Hehehe!"

He landed on his feet and brought us back up.

"Why would you do that?!" I yelled.
"I wanted to see your reaction..." He said smirking.
"Don't do that ever again! I actually thought you'd die.." I said with tears coming down my face.

"I'm really sorry!" He said pulling me into a hug and laughing a bit.

"Will you be my girlfriend? Yoshima?" He asked again.

I looked up at him.
His face came closed to mine, and we kissed.

"Yes." I said pulling away and he smiled.

He kissed my forehead, "I'll bring you home."

He held my hand as we walked in the dark.
