A/N:

Really, all of you made me smile like crazy. I probably looked like a lunatic who escaped from a mental hospital while reading those comments, but whatever. XD Thank you, seriously. :D

@GrizzlyXAkatsuki @TvonUchiha @Easternsunrise @JamesZoo @Darkening-Skies @Emeraldblade @XxItachixX

Did I miss anyone?

Anyway, thank you~!

So did anyone notice that Lady Chiyoko's granddaughter and Nao's new Sarutobi friend have the same name? Haha! I knew I didn't. Coincidentally, I made the two of them have the same name which is 'Sena'.

It's a coincidence. Sorry,,I just noticed it,,,

Anyway, on with the story!

~~~~~Chapter 7- The First Real Kiss~~~~~

Izuna's POV

I thought about what nii-san said earlier, and I couldn't believe it. But seeing how he acted for the past few days, he seems like a different person. He treated her gently, and he smiles at her like how he smiles when he's with me. Could nii-san...actually like her? I wanted to find out, so I went to spy on them while they were in the interrogation room, although I could only hear parts of their conversation.

"I'm just worried," he said.

"Thanks."

"You're my wife. If people saw that, what would they think I'm doing to you?"

"Is that so...?" I heard her say with a hint of disappointment in her voice. I smirked. This confirmed it. I didn't even need to activate my sharingan to know that nii-san is genuinely worried for her. I glanced at the unconscious man who was caught in a genjutsu and caught a gist of the situation. Nii-san needs to learn to be more honest with his feelings or else someday, someone else might take her away. I wouldn't want that though. I wish for their happiness together, nii-san and Nao-san.

Nii-san's wife is really smart, but is actually dense in terms of love, I guess, considering she still hasn't notice my brother's feelings for her. Nii-san too...

Nao's POV

"Have you eaten dinner?" he asked.

I nodded. "Have you?"

"Yes. What did you eat?"

"Dango," I said simply. "How about you?"

"Inarizushi, my favorite," he said. I looked at him as his eyes sparkled for a moment before quickly disappearing. His favorite huh...I can totally see that.

"Do you want me to make some for you someday? I'm quite skilled in cooking," I said with a grin, holding my fist up.

"I'd like to try your cooking." I slightly blushed as he said that, and he smirked. "Anyway, it's quire late, so let's go to bed."

"Even though it's only 9:30?" I asked him.

"He's too eager to cuddle up with you," Izuna interrupted all of a sudden. I blushed deeper, playing with a few strands of my hair in an attempt to cover my blush and keep Madara from seeing it.

Madara glared at him, which is the first time I saw him do that. "Shut up," he hissed with a slight blush. Wait...a blush?! ...I must be imagining things...

~~~

I woke up the next morning and found myself leaning closer to him again. I sighed deeply as I blushed again. Why do I keep on doing this, I wonder? Is this becoming a habit?

I was about to stand up when I felt a strong tug, and I fell down on Madara's chest. My blush grew deeper as I saw his arm around me. I looked at him, and he was still fast asleep! How can he sleep like this? His sleeping face looked really peaceful, and my eyes made their way to his lips. T-they look so...kissable? I mentally slapped myself for thinking that. Sure, we are husband and wife right now, but it was an arranged-marriage!

"N...Nao..."

I turned to him again. One of his eyes was open, and one of them was closed. He had a smirk on his lips.

"Don't leave just yet. It's still early," he said. Was I hearing right? He then sat up, and with a strong force, I was pinned to the futon.

"M-Madara?!" I exclaimed, alarmed. He's not acting like himself.

"Yes, Nao?"

"What are you--" I was cut off when his lips touched mine in a gentle and sweet kiss. It wasn't rushed this time, like the wedding. It was long, and it felt like eternity.

I pushed him off after a while and saw that he was sleeping again.

What the heck?! I-is he playing with me? I slowly got up from the futon and walked to the bathroom. When I went in, my legs immediately gave out.

We kissed.

I still couldn't believe it. A strong wave of happiness passed through me, but it was also filled with doubt.

"Why would he do that?"
