Madara

"Blood demon art, healing renewal". Hashi said placing his hand on top of me as I laid against him. With our siblings sitting around us. "Thank you, my love". I said looking up at him smiling. "Don't you ever scare us like that again. You hear me"? "Loud and clear".

"Aniki"! I heard three new voices yell out as they ran over to us. I smiled as I saw Rin, Haru, and Haruto making their way over to us. They kneeled down beside me with tears in their eyes.

I motioned them towards me and held all three of them as they cried to see him. "It's ok, your big brothers right here. We're all together again". I said smiling as I listened to their tears of happiness.

"How did you all manage to survive on your own"? Hashi asked. "Demon blood". Inu asked. "We drank the blood from the demons we killed that were trying to hurt nearby villages". I see.

"You have got to be kidding me, you're protecting even more of them"? "It's been a while, Indra". I said looking up at the swordsman I had first met when starting my journey with Hashirama.

"As for your question I am. These are mine and Hashirama's younger siblings. Their names are Izuna, Rin, Haru, Haruto, and Ryuko Uchiha. As well as Tobirama and Inuama Senju. All of them are just as important to me as Hashirama is, I will not let you hurt any of them". I said sternly.

"Though talk from the guy laying in his lover's lap". "I got my ass handed to me in a fight and four of them protected me from being killed. Hashirama had just finished healing me when my younger brothers Rin, Haru, and Haruto showed up. They are no threat to you or anyone".

I sensed someone approaching, Hashi and I held our youngest siblings closest to us as Indra drew his sword and stopped an attack by a young man with short brunette hair. "Oh my. Why would you get in my way aniki?

Weren't you the one telling me we couldn't be friends with demons but here you are protecting a group of them? I hate to say it but this is the kind of behavior that makes the others, not like you".

Aniki? Are these two related? They do kinda resemble each other.

"This is the boy I was telling you about. Apparently the majority of his family were turned into demons and not just his lover". "Oh, now I understand". He turned and smiled at us. "The names Ashura Otsutsuki, I'm Indra's younger twin brother.

It's a pleasure to finally get to meet you Madara Uchiha, I've heard a lot about you". He said giving me a closed eye smile. "I understand what the situation between you and this group of demons is now so I'll use a gentle toxin to kill them. I promise none of them will feel a thing".

Ryuko, Haru, and Haruto clung tighter to me as Inuama clung to Hashirama. "You can move so take your family and run". "Indra, thank you". I picked the three of them up in my arms and ran off with everyone.

We ran as fast as we could but the next thing I knew there was smoke filling the air that knocked all of us out.

When I woke up I realized that I was being held down while Hashirama and the others were locked into cages. They weren't in the sun though, they were placed in the shade under a porch. None of them had been muzzled but they were tied up.

"Madara". Hashi called out to me. "Hashi, what's going on"? "It's the Hashira aniki, they want us all dead". Izuna said. "The Hashira"? I looked around me and saw a group of swordsmen all gathered together. Two of them I recognized as Indra and Ashura.

"I heard he was a demon slayer with a demon lover so I was expecting someone with more flare but he just looks ordinary". A man with white hair said.
"We must see that this boy is put on trial to be judged". A man with blonde and red hair said.

"To think that's he's been protecting his fiancee that was turned into a demon but it's not just him. He was protecting the others as well". A woman with long black hair and brown eyes said. "This is the demon slayers headquarters. Your here because you Madara Uchiha are to be put on trial.

Before we begin why don't you explain the crime-". A different woman with purple and black hair said before getting cut off. "There's no need for a trial". It was the man with yellow and red hair. "Protecting a demon is a clear violation. We can deal with this on our own, we shall execute them all".

"In that case I'll decapitate them with style, I'll show you the most dramatic spray of blood ever". The white haired man said. "To see such a pitiful creature as this, I grieve for him. Perhaps it would've been better if he hadn't been born". A big tall guy with beads on his arms and neck said. "Let's end his misery". "Right". "And let's do it with flare".

I looked up and saw the scared looks on my younger siblings faces. "Haru, Haruto, Ryuko, Inu, don't be scared ok. We won't let anything happen to you I promise". They nodded their heads. "Never mind this boy. What are we gonna do about Indra"?

A different man with silver hair asked as he stood next to the woman with long black hair. His hair was long and kept in a low ponytail. "Based on what Shinobu said he's just as guilty of breaking the rules. How should we make him take responsibility? What lesson will we teach him? What do you have to say for yourself Indra"?

"You're as sharp-tongued as ever Sakumo dear". The lady with long black hair said. "Oh I think it's fine, he did come without resisting. Let's come up with a penalty later". The lady with purple and black hair said. "What I'm more interested in is hearing his story.

He's been traveling with a demon alongside him despite being a demon slayer himself. I wish to hear why? What he's done is against the cores rules, you are aware of that aren't you? Why are you traveling with demons Madara Uchiha"?

"Who cares why"? "You can take your time, just answer the question". The man that was holding me down let me go. I rose up and sat on my legs while my hands remained tied behind my back. I looked over at Hashi and the others and saw nothing but fear and nervousness in their eyes. It hurt to see them that way.

"I don't need time to explain myself I'll tell you. As most of you probably know the one with the long brown hair is my fiance, his name is Hashirama Senju. The two of us grew up together on the same mountain but lived on different sides.

The boy and girl with white hair are his younger brother Tobirama Senju and his younger sister Inuama Senju. The five with black hair are my younger siblings Izuna, Rin, Haru, Haruto and Ryuko Uchiha.

One night while I was away selling charcoal for my family they were all attacked by Muzan. I know it was him because of the fact that he's the only one with the power to turn others into demons. When I returned him the next day I had only seen Hashi alive, I had no idea the others had managed to survive until recently.

For almost three years now I have been training as a demon slayer while also looking for a cure that will turn them all back to normal. All I want is to be able to marry Hashirama and start a family of our own while also living with my younger siblings.

They're just kids, they still need me to be there for them and protect them. We're all each other has left. I need them and they need me. Please, they've never harmed anyone. The only ones they have fought against were other demons.

That's how they were able to survive, they drank the blood of the demons they killed who were trying to hurt humans. The only one who didn't need to do that was Hashirama. I don't know how but he gets his strength simply by sleeping all day. They've done nothing wrong".

"Enough, spare us these absurd ramblings. If their family it's no wonder your defending them. I can't trust a single world your spouting. I don't believe a single word your saying". The man with the white hair in a ponytail said.

"So sad, he's been possessed by a demon. Let us end his life and free him from his cursed existance". The tall man with beads said. "Please, you have to believe me". "Your storytelling is lacking any vibrant sparks of color.

They haven't devoured anyone and they're not going to. If you're going to tell your story at least spice it up a bit". The man with white hair who had his tied up said. "Excuese me but something about this concerns me. I find it hard to believe that the master would be unaware about this situation".

The woman with long black hair said. "I don't think we should act without his permission. Maybe it's best we wait until he arrives". "Well well, what kind of fun do we gave brewing here"? A man with white hair and a whole bunch of scares decorating his body said making his way over to the others.

"Is that the boy who brought a demon along with him"? He made his way over to Hashirama and pointed his sword at him. "What the hell do you think you're trying to pull here exactly"?

"Please master Shinazugawa I must ask you to put your sword away". One of the servents said. "Shinazugawa, please don't act out of line". I watched horrified as he smirked and stabbed his blade right into hashi.

"Hashirama"! "Aniki". Inu said with tears in her eyes. "I'll be ok". He said in a strained voice. I rose to my feet and glared at all of them. "Anyone who lays a hand on my fiancee answers to me. The same goes for the others as well. I don't give a dam if your one of the Hashira or not".

"Well how very nice for you". He said pulling the blade out of him and swinging it around. "Cese this, the master will be arriving shortly". Indra said as I charged at him. He swung his sword but I ducked then jumped in the air and gave him a spinning roundhouse kick to the head.

He landed on the ground while I landed on my feet. It's thanks to Haahirama healing me that I was able to move around regularly. "If you can't tell the difference between good demons and bad ones then you shouldn't be a hashira". I said standing in front of hashi and the others.

"You no good little, I'll destroy you". He said holding his sword to my neck. "The master of the mansion has returned". Two little girls with snow-white hair said getting everyone's attention. "My beloved children". A old man with grey brunette hair said as he came and sat down on the porch.

He had kind eyes and a red mark on his forehead. "I thank you for coming here this day. Good morning to you all, the weather is strikingly nice today. Finding ourselves here with a semi annual gathering with all the same faces and a few new ones, it brings me joy".

So this is the master everyone talks about.

I thought to myself as I immediately bowed with everyone else. Hashi and the others sat on their legs out of respect and lowered their heads since they couldn't bow like the rest of us. "I am pleased to see you in good health as well master". The man that attacked hashi said.

"If I may master, before we start this meeting would you kindly enlighten us about this swordsmen right here? Who appears to have been accompanied by a demon". "But of course, I apologize for any confusion. Madara, Hashirama, Tobirama, Izuna. Rin, Haru, Haruto, Ryuko and Inuama have all been sanctioned.

I would appreciate it if you all would accept this condition as for all nine of them are members of my family just like my sons Indra and Ashura are. They may not have the same last name as us but the Uchiha and Senju clans are closely related to the Otsutsuki clan.

Not by blood but by bond. Their parents Tajima, Misa, Butusama and Tsukiyama were very good friends if mine. It's a shame what happened to them".

He knew our parents?

"Master, even though it is something you have requested I cannot bring myself to do it". The tall man with beads said. "I am also opposed to this. A slayer traveling with a demon is unacceptable". The flashy man said. "I won't trust them absolutely not. First of all I loath demons. ". The white haired man with his hair in a ponytail said.

"Although I respect you with all my heart master I cannot abide by this. I'm fully against it". The man with blonde and red hair said. "The cores mission is to annihilate demons. I ask that you punish Indra and Madara".

"The letter". The master said to one of the girls. "Yes sir". She took it out of the kimono she was wearing and opened it. "A former hashira, Mr Urokodaki sends us this letter along with a request, I shall read to you an abridged version.

I ask you to allow Madara and his fiancee to accompany each other, because of his resilient mental fortitude Hashirama has not lost his human nature. Even when starved he has never devoured a human and that is true more than two years later. Although the situation sounds outlandish it is in fact reality.

In the event that Hashirama does in fact devour another human being myself as well as Madara Uchiha and Indra Otsutsuki will atone by committing seppuku".

"Who cares how they choose to end their lives, fire, hanging, it's all the same. It dosen't guarantee our safety". The man with scares said. "Shinazugawa is right, if he or any of the others kill a human we can't turn back the clock, that person will be lost forever". The man with blonde and red hair said.

"You do have a point". "So what do you wish master"? "We can't guarantee that they won't attack humans, we can't prove it but we cannot also be certain they will attack humans. Here is what we know about Hashirama so far.

He has been abstinent for year's and their are three people who would vouch for him with their lives. If this offer is rejected one must in return offer an even more compelling argument. Are any of you able to do so? Also, their is another thing I would like to relay to you my children. Madara has met Kibitsuji face to face".

They all gasped. "Thats impossible, not even a hashira has crossed paths with him. Did you really? What did he look like? What are his powers? Where did you see him"? The flashy man asked. "Did you fight"? One of the younger members asked. He had black and blue hair.

"What was kibitsuji doing? Did you find his stronghold? Answer me". The man with scares asked. "Shut up, I asked him first". "Come on, tell us what powers kibitsuji has". The master put his finger to his mouth making them go quiet.

"Speaking of that man we know he has sent pursuers after Madara. While his goal may simply be to silence Madara, now that he has finally revealed himself I wish to seize on this opportunity. I possess within me the power to turn all eight of them back to their human body but I will allow them to keep the powers they have gained from their transformation. Do you agree with me now"?

The nine of us picked our heads up and looked at him shocked. "Y you, can actually turn them back"? "I can". "If it were human their would be no question we'd spare it but after all we've gone through, after losing countless of our brethren. Asking us to house demons, it's unacceptable". The man with scares said.

He grabbed his sword and cut his arm. "Here me master, the deprivety of a demon, I will prove it to you here and now". "Sanemi". He pushed me out of the way again and started stabbing Hashirama over and over until blood was gushing out of his chest at a fast rate.

"Hashirama no"! "Aniki"! I tried to make my way over to him and make the bastard stop but was held back by the tall guy with beads. "It's time for your dinner, go ahead, take a bite". "I don't want any". Hashi said looking away with his eyes closed.

"No need to hold back, just show us your true colors and then I'll destroy you and the others right here". "Get away from him"! "Madara my love, I'll be just fine. Please don't worry". "What's the matter? Go on, you know you want it".

"I told you no already now please bandage your arm up and stop the bleeding before it gets infected or you pass out from blood loss". "Looks to me like you all have your answer". The master said standing up as I let out a breath of relief.

"The eight of you have suffered long enough, it's time you're able to join Madara in the sunlight once again". He placed his hands in front of all of them before reciting a spell that was in a foreign language. My eyes watered as I watched their skin colors return to normal.

He let them out of their cages and smiled. "Go to him". Ryuko immediately ran over to me and buried her head in my chest. She was soon followed by all the others. The nine of us held onto each other tight as the warm sun shined down on us. "It's finally over". Hashi sniffled as I held him the closest to me. I kissed his head and smiled.

"Aaahhhh"! I was sitting outside my bedroom while Hashirama was inside. It's been three years since everything happened. During those three years the two of us had gotten married and are living our best lives together.

Nine months ago we found out we were finally going to become parents and a few months after that we found out it was twin boys. I want to be in there with him. I want to hold his hand and help him through this but for some reason I'm not allowed inside the room.

"Everythings going to be ok aniki". Izuna said as he sat beside me. I took his hand in mine and smiled. "Thank you ototo". He smiled back. "Who do you think they're going to look like more"? Haru asked. "I don't know, I'm hoping their identical". Haruto said.

"What? No. How would we be able to tell them apart? I hope one comes out looking like aniki and the other one Hashirama sama". Ryuko said. "Same here". Inu said. "Well however they come out looking I know they'll be cute". Tobirama said.

"Thank you all for being here with us". "That's what families for". "Mhm". Ryuko said. "There's no way we were going to miss this". Inu said. Four more hours passed until I finally heard the sweat sound of a baby crying, five minutes later I heard a second one.

I immediately stood up and headed inside. Hashirama was laying in bed with sweat rolling down his forehead and strands of hair sticking to his face as he held two small newborns securely in his arms.

"Madara". He said softly as he turned his head and smiled at me. "Congratulations Madara, Hashirama". Shniobu said before leaving the room. I made my way over to them and sat beside him on the bed.

I looked down at our sons and saw that one of them had light than skin and chestnut hair like hashi while his brother had pale wheat skin and black hair like me. "Their perfect hashi, thank you so so much my live". "What are we going to name them"?

He asked laying against me now. "How about Stone and Obito"? "I like it, Stone and Obito Uchiha". He said smiling. "No, Stone and Obito Senju-Uchiha".

"Really"? He asked looking up. "Mhm, I want them to have the same last name as their papa". "I love you so much". "I love you more". Our younger siblings came into the room soon after and joined us. Everything was absolutely perfect.
