Foolish.

That's what he'd call you if he knew of your current mission that you'd decided to accept from the Hokage. It was your first S-rank mission, and you'd only managed to partake in around three or four A-rank missions. Unfortunately, this mission was a matter of upmost importance and many S-rank ninja were out on missions currently, or had just arrived back in need of rest or medical aid from prior missions. So here you were. Hand selected by the Hokage as the next most reliable and best fit kunoichi for the mission available. You couldn't be more nervous and prideful as you ran through the forest alone with the breeze pulling your hair back away from your face.

Your mission was quite difficult to say the least. Intel had been given that a group of high ranked missing-nin had begun to gather around an area deep in the woods and word was they were somehow connected to Orochimaru, one of the great Sannin who'd left after being passed up for Hokage for Minato. You couldn't help but shiver at the idea of possibly seeing that snake again. His ideas of discovering all the mysteries of nature and the world as well as learning all jutsu and gaining immortality were somewhat insane to you, and you'd never liked the guy. He'd given you such strange vibes whenever around him, and you feared he'd try to steal your clan kekkei genkai in order to gain power he shouldn't possess.

You swallowed hard as you jumped to another branch. You were beginning to feel scared, regardless of the fact that a shinobi should hide her feelings due to if an enemy were to see. However, you were scared of what would happen when you confronted this group and the possibilities of failure. You didn't deny the fact that Orochimaru may try stealing your eyes to experiment with them, that or capture you and experiment with the Uchiha clan blood that ran through your veins. You shook your head, clearing your thoughts to focus on the mission at hand.

It was just as suspected, a group of missing-nin had been actively moving about. There were about five of them, all in gray cloaks and the symbol of Orochimaru's curse mark printed on the back. You shoved down your emotions as you activated your Sharingan and grabbed your sword with somewhat shaky hands. You were lucky, they hadn't seen you or sensed you yet...or so you'd thought. A voice spoke in your ear, raspy as it said, "Look what we have here...a Leaf ninja...and a Uchiha nonetheless. Lord Orochimaru shall be pleased." Your eyes widened as you went to slash at the person with your sword, but they caught your arm with ease. How had you not sensed the man? You were a sensory ninja, skilled in ninjutsu and taijutsu, but he'd managed to bypass your senses. How had he hidden his chakra so well?

He suddenly grinned before kicking you hard in the stomach. You yelled as you fell from the tree, barely landing on your feet. A sharp pain shot up your right leg as you collapsed to your knee, grabbing your ankle. You hissed through gritted teeth and tried to stand, but found it impossible to do so without intense pain. I must've sprained it you thought as you looked up to see six ninja walking towards you, the one that'd snuck up on you in the lead. With their hoods on, it was hard to see their faces. You pulled out a kunai to defend yourself since your sword had been knocked away in the process of the small skirmish between you and the cloaked man. "You still wish to fight even with an ankle injury? My, my, you Uchiha are resilient," said the man.
"I'm a Leaf shinobi, I am willing to fight to near-death to get this Intel to the village, and I will die to protect the Uchiha clan's name and legacy!" you said bravely regardless of the situation you were in.
"How imprudent..." said the man. "Lord Orochimaru will have great pleasure in extracting those eyes of yours."

You felt a pain in the back of your head, and the world began to waver and blur. As your eyes moved, you realized you'd been so focused on the man in front, you'd not seen one of the members of the group move to get behind you and knock you out. As you feel forward, you saw a black blur moving and faintly heard shouts and then it went quiet as you were sucked down into the darkness of unconsciousness.

You shot up from where you lay on the bed, heart pounding. You looked around, Sharingan activated as fear coursed through you, and you were prepared for a fight. A hand touched your shoulder making you flinch and go to shove the person away, but they grabbed your wrists. "(Y/n), calm down. You're safe," said a voice that put you at ease. You tore your wrists from his grasp as you shoved your face in his chest, breathing in his scent as you took deep breaths. He was patient as he tried to comfort you, rubbing your back. He hushed you softly, trying to help the best he could as you calmed down slowly. After several minutes you whispered, "I-I thought I'd n-never see you again."
"Shh that's over now. I'm here, and you're safe. I'd never let anyone hurt you..."
"I...I'm sorry. I should've never a-accepted the mission. I w-was such a f-fool."
"You're right...you are a fool," he said softly. "But...you're my fool."

He leaned down, kissing you gently on the lips. You smiled into the kiss as he pulled you close, and you felt pure happiness and safety in his arms. As soon as he pulled back, he pressed your foreheads together, his onyx eyes glowing with happiness and love. You giggled, smiling back at him. Of all the places in the world you wouldn't wish to be anywhere else but here.
