《Mito's Sister. (Uchiha Madara)》Chapter 21.
Advertisement
It all made sense now. Why she would always come to the Uchiha compound, why she was so insistent on helping me, why she was always there for me. I just thought she wanted attention, but she just wanted to be with me. How couldn't I have noticed earlier that she had these feelings for me?
More importantly, what was I supposed to do now? Did I love Asami? I didn't know, but I did have this desire. Asami was kind, caring, unselfish.. Why would she fall for someone like me in the first place? If she were to get further involved with me, people would look at her the same way they look at me, and Asami didn't deserve that.
But how did Keiji know for sure that Asami loved me? Did she tell him, or did he just think that? If it was the truth or not, now I couldn't look at Asami the way I used to. How was I supposed to act around her now? like nothing happened? I couldn't just ignore what Keiji said.
''Madara-sama?'' Keiji asked hesitantly. ''What are you going to do now?'
''How can you be sure? Did Asami tell you that or do you just think she feels that way?''
Keiji sighed. ''You didn't notice?'' he muttered. My eyes narrowed. ''How was I suppose to notice? Asami acts the same around other people.''
''Madara-sama, I have a request.''
I looked over my shoulder, frowning. ''What is it?''
''May I slap you?''
Madara was strong, smart, and yet he could be so dense sometimes. He just didn't realise other's feelings. His negative thoughts always got in the way. He didn't bother considering other's feelings because he thought they didn't matter. He did care at first, but he's begun to doubt others, because they doubted him. He'd harden himself, but did that mean he didn't care about Asami?
He didn't seem to dispise her presence, and he hardly told her to go away when he's busy. He let her help him, she was always there for him. Even though Asami never really did something too obviously, it wasn't hard to tell she liked the Uchiha. Maybe because Madara always looked at her as a friend, that he didn't notice her feelings, and I bet he wasn't thinking about love now. He's never really been into a women. He didn't care. Madara fought to protect the ones dear to him, his clan. That was enough for him.

''If you slap me, I'd slap back 10 times harder.'' Madara grunted before walking further. I quickly hurried after him. After catching up to him, which didn't take long, I glanced at him from the corners of my eyes. ''So?'' I asked. ''What're you going to do?''
Madara shrugged. ''I don't know what I should do.'' he admitted. ''I don't know how I feel about her.''
He was hesitating about his feelings? ''Do you like her?'' I asked.
''I'm not going to talk to you about this.'' Madara grumbled. ''I can think for myself.''
Sighing, I kept walking beside him.
'Do you like her?'
Keiji's question kept ringing in my head. Yes, I did like her. Her presence was enjoyable and soothing. I could depend on her and she was trustworthy. Asami was also one of the few who understood me, who didn't judge me by some rumors or appearance, like many others did. And yet I once doubted her, thinking she would be the same as the others, but she wasn't. I liked that about her, but did I love her?
Do I want her in my life? Do I want her to stay with me, by my side, as more than a friend? I had never thought about that. Asami lacked some things I thought were important, but she also had some great character traits. She was honest, considerate, helpful, optimistic, talkative and caring; mostly the things I lacked. Together, we would be well-balanced.
But would I be able to return her feelings? Why couldn't I find an answer to that? There was only one way to find out.
I needed to find her.
''So you're staying until after Mito's wedding?'' I asked, and Mitsuru nodded.
''Yes.'' he answered. ''I need to go back home soon. Mito's getting married next week. I just came earlier to see some old friends again.'' he muttered as he chuckled softly.

I smiled. Mitsuru had a family to look after, so I understood he had to go soon, although I wished he could have stayed longer. We hadn't seen each other for such a long time, and I still wanted to tell him so much. A week may be enough, but not if I wouldn't see him for a long time again.
We just came back from the Sarutobi compound. I introduced Mitsuru to Yumi, who was still lying in bed. Most of her wounds had healed, but she still wasn't feeling well.
Suddenly, Mitsuru stopped walking, and I looked over my shoulder after I stopped as well a metre away from him. ''Mitsuru?''
I followed his gaze and frowned when I saw Madara walk at us. He had a puzzled look on his face, his eyes focused on me. I swallowed thickly. I didn't know if I liked the look in his eyes.
''M-Madara-san?'' I asked hesitantly. ''Are you okay?''
Madara grabbed my arm roughly, pulling him with me. Yelping, I held onto his attire to keep my balance. Madara and I left a confused Mitsuru behind as the Uchiha dragged me away. What was wrong with him? Normally, he would be more collected.
I grabbed his wrist, the one of the hand he was holding my arm with, and squeezed, hoping he would let go. It hurt, his fingers tight around my upper arm. ''M-Madara, let go'' I whimpered, and Madara looked over his shoulder, and released me once he saw my face.
I was so engrossed in my thoughts when I pulled Asami with me into an alley, I had no idea I was holding her that tightly. Rubbing her arm, Asami glanced at me, and to my surprise, she looked worried instead of mad.
''Madara-san, is something wrong?''
''Not 'wrong', just making some things clear.'' I muttered. Asami frowned.
''Making things clear?'' she asked, narrowing her eyes. ''What do you mean?''
''Do you love me?''
Asami's eyes widened, and she took a step back. ''What makes you think that?'' she asked, her voice slightly wavering. Too direct?Maybe. I just wanted to get to the point. What else was I supposed to do?
Taking a step forward, into Asami's direction, she took one more back, obviously wanting to keep some distance between us. Sighing, I took another step forward, and of course, Asami too one more back, her back hitting the wall. I clenched my jaw impatiently, getting tired of this. ''Well?''
''Why do you ask?''
''Why are you dodging my questions?'' I asked, ignoring her earlier question. I
only needed to know for sure that she loved me. Keiji could have assumed this, so I needed to know if it was true or not. When she still hadn't answered, I decided to give up. I didn't feel like continuing this. ''Nevermind.'' I mumbled as I stepped away from her. Turning around, I began to walk away.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps behind me, and a warm hand took mine.
''It's true.''
I looked over my shoulder.''Huh?''
Asami fidgeted and squeezed my hand. ''I do..'' she muttered, looking away from me. ''..love you.''

Was Madara OOC? I'm not really sure, and I tried to keep him in character, so I hope it was good enough :)

Not Another Isekai RPG Story Alternate
The story ends at Alternate Route Finale. Ch 2-2 and on can be treated as Extra Chapters. I still hadn't edited that one and it's low on priority. I may come back to it if I'm in the mood. Most of the portions of the story will NOT focus on the skills, stats, grinding or battles. More about the dialogues (or the internal monologues) and the MC interacting with the world (or glitching, if you name it.). ... With parts of his memory lost, Takeshi, a 25-year old lazy office worker was transported to a game world. Using his casual knowledge on video-game mechanics, join Takeshi's journey as he discover more about the world, his companions and himself. (only if you're interested though.) My personal review: from ch-2 on expect a lot of perversion going on. It can be pretty weird, like the MC want to be a girl and Y*ri other girls, Fut*nari folks, Traps, the mention of t*ntacle monsters and some lulzy display (like shoving a morning star up someone's b*tthole in retaliation). In here, the MC will discover new things as he kept on exploring and trying different stuff. This story will mostly be character-driven. Explanations about the world and its mechanics was kept to a minimum. The MC's on the shameless side with not much real-life common sense (maybe) and he's (probably) not righteous at all. The other characters can be pretty weird as well. It won't focus on romance. Well that's about it.

Aeternalis
One born of nothingness. A world born of everything. To return all to nothing. Or surrender to everything. A man born into an infinite world, trying to find his path to the top. Trials and tribulations come from friends and foes alike until all bow before him. ------------------------------------- Author here! This is my 3rd story on RoyalRoad, the other two having long since been dropped years ago. They were a mess of ideas and had no real substanence to them, leading me to begin hating writing them and eventually just stop writing altogether for about a year and a half. Finally, after reading hundreds of thousands of pages of novels, from low fantasy to sci-fi litrpg's to thousands of pages long xianxias, I finally feel ready to write a real story that isn't a cesspool of ideas blended together. I plan to see this out to the end, as I already have the first few major arcs planned out unlike my other stories where I thought of ideas as I wrote. This story takes place in a world with a litrpg system, as per tags. This isn't a VRMMO or Reincarnation story. The main character exists in and is from said world. There are some differences from other litrpg's which will be explained in author notes in the few few chapters. I plan to publich 6-7 chapters a week, each 2-3k words long. If i fail to do so I will create a back-log I have to eventually make up but as of writing this it's the summer for me so I'll have plenty of time to write. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of Aeternalis.

The Last Death Mage
Since time immemorial humanity has always feared and shunned what it didn’t understand. Over time this changed a bit to encompass things that didn’t conform to their thoughts and ideals. Due to humanity’s stubbornness with which the enforced their ideals many lives were lost and changed. When humanity first clashed with monsters and the beings that use magic, this trait caused many bloody fights. Over time the fights escalated into battles and full on war on several occasions. Humanity due to their adaptability and persistence won many of these altercations, causing huge casualties to the magical beings. Humanity did not come out unscathed however; many of the empires and civilizations noted in human history fell due to these battles and wars. Eventually over time humanity and the magical beings came to a sort of agreement. Magic and the beings associated with it faded into the background of history, being relegated to myth and legend. Humanity meanwhile advanced leaps and bounds once magic faded, leading to our current level of civilization. Not all magical beings were content with this, thus they did their own actions and killed or fed on humans. This has led to many organizations to be formed concerning this, on both the side of humanity and the side of magical beings. They regulate and control the use of magic as well as protect humanity from the darker things that are now not but myth to them, but there is a reason humanity instinctually fears the dark. Unfortunately there are always those that are unsatisfied by the status quo, and those that are prejudiced against things that are different. This is a story of a young man who wanted nothing more than to be normal. Unfortunately Fate and the world he lives in do not easily allow that this, thus his life changed, not for the better. Everyone has heard of or read stories about monsters and legends, heroes and villains, this is one such story. Hi, this is my second attempt at a story here, the first was before the major overhaul happened and i lost everything related to that story due to PC troubles. I hope you enjoy this if you dont please leave some constructive criticism in the comments. An Editor and the like will be needed, but I will edit as problems are pointed out and as i proof read. This story will have no set schedule, unless of course I decide to type up a bunch in succession then i will note that in a chapter beforehand. ADDED NOTE: most sexual content will be in Interludes or sub chapters with a .5 attached. Profanity and gore however shall be plenty in the actual story, though the descriptives for the gore may be added later. (For example, in the prologue that gave a hint at what happened to the MC, will be enhanced so that the gore invokes more descriptive/complete mental pictures, though it may wait.) ~Tyroth Gideon
