"Come on... where is she?" I whispered to myself as trepidation overwhelmed me again. Now Mito has gone home and it's nearing close to midnight. My hair strands stood out in all sorts of places... I need a bath.

"Ramiko?"

I turned around on the balls of my feet briskly... my eyes made contact with familiar obsidian black orbs.

Uchiha Madara.

My mouth gaped slightly. His long spiky black hair cascaded over half his face complexion, the long navy blue kimono he wore fitted well. It's been a while since I last saw him.

I snapped myself back into reality. "Madara-kun!" I awkwardly plastered a smile onto my lips. Still not knowing was else to say at a time like this.

He held a straight compulsive grin. "It's been a while I see." he grimaced at me... Remembering the old days back when we lived separately and not compiled into a village.

Even with Izuna around... I couldn't tell him that I loved him before he died by Tobirama's hands. Even the thought of that Senju made my blood run cold beneath my skin. Sadly to say Izuna also loved me. I frowned nonchalantly at the mere thought of him. My heart crumbled thinking of the memories.

"Even the memories won't bring him back. We both miss him. But that's in the past now. Anyways you have seen Aquila?" Madara changed the subject. That's right, I was looking for her, in hopes she returned by now.

Should I tell him?

"I.. uhh.. nope I haven't!" I grinned awkwardly holding a guilty expression. Even my own mind condemned me of disapproval.

"Hmph." Madara implied crossing his arms over his chest. "If something happened you better come clean now or you'll regret it." Madara threatened making me open my mouth slightly. I felt my fingers tremble at his every bit of words.

"I.. um." I stammered again, gulping as he came closer. Standing not even a feet away from me. It was nightfall and no one was around or even awake at this hour. We were in the Uchiha compound; both of us silenced. I felt my mind start to deceive me. Huh? And the last thing I noticed was red flashing right before my eyes.

"Mito-san you're back this late! You know how worried I was!" I narrowed my gaze at her, wailing my arms up. I was furious knowingly my wife was out god knows where at this time.

"Sorry Hashirama dear, I was helping a friend, some conundrum had occurred earlier. I'm back and fine." her calm voice soothed my mood.

But what problem?

"Mito-san what problem?" I should know since I try to help everyone in need.

"Oh um... some foreign ninja tried to ambush us, it's nothing."

FOREIGN NINJA! This occurred while my wife was out and worst could have come. She could have been hurt!

Mito noticed my sudden reaction and assured me it was nothing bad. "Aquila-san said she was handling the situation so Ramiko-san and I would have gotten away, nothing to worry hun." Mito gave me a gently reassuring smile placing her hand on my thigh.

"Did she return yet?" I ask which made Mito look away. We both sat on our bed, her head leaning on my shoulder. Her eyes drooping, indicating she was tired.

She hesitated before she responded with a simple 'I'm not sure'. Which makes me wonder if things are alright on her side.

"What do you think? The leader would love to use this one as one of his girls? Hmm?"

I can hear... voices. My ears seem to be catching the tones of these disgusting men. But I can't move my body nor open my eyes.

"This would be an extravagant gift to him then." One with a higher pitch tone encountered back.

They think... I would be a courtesan to their 'leader' but in this case.. They are selling myself or more likely of my body to a man of noble.

ARE THEY CRAZY!? Why can't I open my eyes? My body felt like I was laying on something hard.. like the cold ground even.

I felt myself being picked up, this took the trigger. My eyes shot open and I gasped for the air around me.

"What are you guys? And what are you doing with me?" I yelled with a touch of acrimony and distaste. "Ahh this one is awake right now, don't worry girl, our clan leader will be with you soon."

And with that, they threw me on some futon. My hands still tied behind my back that was adamant. My hair cascaded over my shoulders as I laid on my side. My kimono was the same, which I sighed in relief. Burgundy red v-neck gown that fell down past my knees, also having two slits up both sides to my thighs. And a thick brown kimono sash came around my waist where it held my breasts up underneath it as well covering my stomach.

I stayed on my side for the longest time. I forced my eyes shut hoping I could go back... to the way we used to live.

~

"Madara!" I yelped in the thick forest. I.. think I sprained my ankle.. oh dear god.

"You're clumsy, like always." He came into view, I admired his looks. The navy blue kimono that complexed his features as his medium length spiky black hair fell behind him, leaving some strands covering parts of his face.

"I... can't get up." I blankly say rubbing my ankle softly. I must have tripped on that log.

Madara made a 'tsk' sound as he shook his head. "Like usual..." Madara sighed deeply reaching over to help me up. But to only fail, which left him to carry me.

I gasped as his arms went around my stomach as the other went under my legs to pick me up. How could I like this? I put my arms around his shoulders and rested my head on his chest.

"Don't speak a word about this." Madara groaned making me flush in embarrassment. "I... won't." I looked up to see his expression. Showing nothing other than apathy.

As we got back, he laid me on my bed and checked my fractured ankle.

He sighed, "I told you to not run off.. like usual you had to." he remarked.

I huffed trying to sit up but to wince from horrid pain. "Ease yourself, or you'll break more parts and I would have to be forced to watch you."

This made me laugh as he chuckles slightly, and I looked him straight in his onyx orbs. "Madara-kun..." I whispered.

"Hmm?" He piped up, letting his arms rest by his sides.

"I've been meaning to ask you of something. I wouldn't know how to put it. But I feel different around you, like... I'm myself. I want to be there for you through the good and bad Madara. I'm trying to ask you... if you would watch over me or if not at least can you make sure I'm not getting myself into anything bad like I usually do?" I asked solemnly. His eyes widen at my words and he gently patted my head making me squeal.

"You may be annoying, careless, clumsy..." he trailed off. Making me growl in annoyance, I'm curious what he'll say for the next part.

"I would feel better if I was the one to watch over you Aquila-san.. I won't let anything else harm you again unlike last time." He clenched his hand tightly. Remembering how I was taken forcefully by Takuto.

But this made me chuckle. "Don't worry, and I'm glad."

~~

"Madara..." I whispered. Tears brimmed the edge of my eyes.

"Okay, no crying! Before the leader sees you." The same tall man who had defeated me sneered.

Just then the doors opened, another figure entered the room. This time a tall slim figure a few years older than me, walked in. His hair was a dark shade of green, his eyes held a light blue colour to them. His figure was muscular overall.

"Leave." He ordered the others to leave.

"So you're the red beauty that was brought here. Hmmm."

His words slithered like a snake. My stomach turned at his tone. My hands were bound so I couldn't do anything.

He inched closer. He held his index finger underneath my chin making me look up to him forcefully.

"Let me go!" I spat out with venom in my voice. He chuckled as he shook his head.

"You would be very useful for my personal reasons." His long irritated fingers travelled down my shoulders, to my breast line and down to my waist making my body tremble. He rested his disgusting hand on my waist!

"P-Please," I whimpered out hoping he would let go.

His grip tighten making me flinch. He went and touched the back of my crimson hair and yanked my head back.

It.. hurts, where did I do wrong to end up here?

"You're mine now!" he exclaimed boisterously holding his face close to mine. But instead, he leaned into my ear.

"I'll make sure this would last long," he whispered making my heart indurate suddenly.

I instead used my reflects and tried to knee him which he pinned me down hands on both of my sides.

He started to lick my neck making me feel sick to the core. My hands that were tied from behind were relinquished from the rope. But as I try to push him off me, with one hand he pinned both my arms above my head. I will not abnegate myself to this sick man!

His hands travelled up my kimono, grabbing my breast making me gasp. No... this isn't happening! This isn't!

He kept on trying to rub his 'length' through his pants against my lower part. He went to pull down his pants to attempt more on me. While I was on the brim of crying again. This was making me squeal out and scream continuously. That's when a hard slap was connected to my cheek, leaving a mark.

His grope against me sickened every inch of my body. He had receded my breast, making me flinch as his hand attempted to travel down below my undergarments. I used my leg to block my lower part which didn't work.

That was when... his guard entered the room.

"I'm busy if you don't see!" The leader boomed as the guard waved his hands up like he was surrendering to him.

"Outsiders have infiltrated our compound!" He fired back in defeat.

The leader retreated his form away from mine making me move away from him as possible.

"Once I'm done with this mess, I will come back and finish what I've started." He sneered making me turn away, my whole body shook at what just happened.

"Watch her! I'll take care of these infiltrators!" The leader ordered as he navigated his way out.

I wrapped my arms around myself, I can't believe this. Why would a man go as low to do this? My body wouldn't stop trembling. I could still feel his disgusting hands travel all over my body.

I can hear people yell out "Uchiha's!" Outside the door.

"Madara... came?" I felt joy override me. I was over washed with relief. The man in the room looked at me with a devious smirk plastered on his lips. He grabbed out a Kunai; holding it and twirling the blade around his finger.

"Sadly, easy for you. I'll dispose of you, and tell Leader Kumo you killed yourself in an attempt of dissatisfaction here." He inched closer making me move back with one arm wrapped around me.

Why... did my fate come to this. Was it my destiny to die so easily?

That voice! No... it can't be!

Aiko.
