I'll most likely be updating more regularly because I am massively bored with life and have nothing else to do. If anyone has suggestions on things I can do with my life please give them

The awakening fatigue I was hit with when I woke up this morning still lingered as I stood in front of my reflection. Perhaps I was exhausted. Dark lines ran below my eyes and my usually tanned, flushed cheeks appeared slightly pale.

"Miss, how would you like your hair today?" Yui's bold eyes peered into my own in the mirror. I scrutinized my wavy strands.

"I think just in a single bun today, please," I answered distantly. She nodded.

"As you wish."

Yui was agreeable I decided. She was quiet, obedient, always on time, and friendly to me. We hadn't hit off a friendship like myself and Hansuke had, but I enjoyed her company enough to talk to her like she wasn't a servant.

Why we even had her helping us confused me as we had never had one in our home before. Or why she was acting like my personal maid confused me even more. It was nice having some help getting ready despite it all.

"Where are you from, Yui?" She began to brush my hair slowly.

"Here Miss, I am an Uchiha." I hummed.

"Of course, how did you become a maid?"

"I like to help people, and this job let's me."

"But its more like slavery isn't it? Helping us?"

"That'd make us all slaves then Miss in this world, not just maids like me." She smiled in amusement. "We all help each other out Miss, servants and masters."

"I guess that makes sense," I contemplated. "Do you like your clan leader?"

"Lord Madara, Miss?"

"That one," I mused.

"I think highly of him, he's strong and brave."

"That he is," I sighed. "What do you think people would say if he were to marry outside of the clan?"

"I don't think they'd be too surprised,"

"Why is that?"

"There's been rumours for years, it'd just secure those rumours."

"Rumours? Of what?" My stomach turned nervously.

"Madara and a young Uzumaki girl," she smirked at me from the corner of her eyes as she pulled my hair up. "It is said he would visit her nearly every day, like she was his own little secret." I blushed.

"Did they know who the girl was?" I could only stare at my reflection in embarrassment.

"Maybe, maybe not. They will either way won't they soon." Her words sounded sly.

"I won't say I don't hope so."

Yui stepped back from me as she had finished with my hair. She had a smile laid across her lips.

"You look beautiful,"

I bowed my head shyly, "thank you."

"May I tell you my thoughts on something?" She then spoke, it surprised me.

"Of course." I turned around to her fluidly.

"If you want people to know about you and Madara, don't hesitate to take a risk." Her words made me lower my brows in confusion.

Take risks? What risks would I be taking?

Perhaps she was referring to the secret of us, or my Uzumaki heritage. It would be a risk to expose our plans to the clan and my father.

"You're right..." I muttered to myself, stroking my dress, "no more secrets."

There had been announced to be a clan meeting this afternoon. Madara told me he would let me know when he was going to tell the clan about the Senju, perhaps this was it. I would have to be prepared for anything, not everyone shares the same desire for peace with the Senju. Many have died by their hands, both Senju and Uchiha.

As I stared at the door to my father's office silently all I could focus on was the hammering sensation of my heart within my chest. With clammy fingers I gently slid the door open.

I gazed at his seated form, sorting over scrolls and constantly running his fingers through his short hair.

I want to get this over with.

I walked through the doorway and came to stand in the middle of the room, I felt exposed.

"Father." I said gently. He turned to me in surprise, putting his scroll down.

"Yes Tomomi dear?"

"I have something to tell you." My hands latched together behind my back tightly.

"What is it?" I took in a shaky breath and let the words fall from my mouth slowly.

"Father, I wish to marry Madara."

Blood seemed to have rushed to my head suddenly as a dizzy sensation overcome me.

At first he appeared stunned, I felt my sweat cover my skin, flustering me. He was silent, unmoving.

But then he turned away, rested his elbows on the table below him and closed his eyes. I felt restless, but not dared move.

"Madara Uchiha," he muttered, his emotion unrecognisable. I swallowed the lump in my throat painfully.

"Yes."

"What makes you think you can marry him?" His voice was almost mocking. I glared in shock.

"Because he proposed to me," I answered quietly, my eyes started to sting. That made him freeze and slowly turn his head to me once again.

"He proposed to you?" He replied loudly, stunned. I nodded furiously.

"Yes Father, he wishes to marry me as well."

He then spoke softly to me, looking back down to his work, "I will talk to Mr Uchiha."

I felt a breath I had been holding escape my lips.

"Please leave me now Tomomi."

I bowed my head and left the room on shaky legs. The door slammed slightly behind me as I slid it closed and leant onto the wall. Quietly, I breathed in and out deeply and squeezed my eyes securely shut.

What is he going to do? Will he agree?

My palms shook against the wall uncontrollably as I held them there.

What if he doesn't allow it? What if I can never be with Madara?

I grit my teeth as I pushed away from the wall. Focused on going to my room I stormed through the hallways.

I found my training clothes and began the pull them on hastily, struggling to take off my previous garments. When I was done, I claimed my sword that was neatly laid beneath my bed and strapped it to my side.

My window overlooked the garden which became my perfect escape route as I threw my cloak around my shoulders and leapt from the sill.

I ran for a couple of minutes until I decided I was far enough away from the house, but not too far away from the compounds boundaries. It was isolated, but not uncomfortable. It gave me a sort of peace as I slowly unsheathed my sword and clutched it firmly in my grip, my breathing heavy.

I will not be controlled. I thought to myself angrily, bringing my chakra to my blade and swinging it towards the nearest tree trunk.
