Tobirama:

What pained me the most was how easily he fell for it.

He didn't even hesitate.

Stop to ask me if I was being manipulated again.

He didn't hold any disbelief that all the love we'd shared had been an act for me to gain power to outsmart the police.

Was this really a man I wanted a relationship with?

Who thought so little of me?

I shook that thought off me; how could I blame him in a situation like this?

There had been so much to and from, to and from with me.

How could I blame him?

My soul screamed and cried as I kicked him.

It was as if I was kicking my heart raw.

But Madara was watching.

And as soon as I softened, he would kill him.

I can't do this anymore...

Yes, you can...

No I couldn't.

But I must.

Izuna:

I ran with all that I got, away from my husband, away from everything bad.

Emil, please, why can't I just die? I don't want to live anymore.

Just keep going. There is something for you... Someone for you...

Someone out there you will meet and he will take care of you, just like I would.

Izuna, I love you. Please, please don't go to waste.

I love it when you kiss me.

I want to be in this world with you.

"There he is! Shoot him!"

An unfamiliar voice, not Tobirama's.

I heard a shot.

There was a cold sensation in my side.

Then, it became burning hot.

Suddenly, I fell to my knees.

Everything became a misty haze of nothing.

Emil... Is this it? Is this heaven?

The lights were blinding me, giving me a migraine-like headache. Where am I..?

I tried getting up on my elbows from where I was laying down on my back on the ice-cold concrete floor. It was covered in a puddle of something cold that drenched my skin through the thin fabric of my white cotton shirt. A rusty smell reached my nostrils. But as soon as I lifted my back up an inch from the floor, an excruciating pain forced me back down.

"Unnh!" I whimpered, feeling pathetic.

I heard running footsteps coming closer, and all my instincts made me reach for my gun holster at my side. Until I realised...

Fuck!

I had lost it

"IZUNA!!"

That voice...

"Izuna, shit, you're alive!! God, I thought they killed you!"

There was desperation in that voice, usually so calm, so husky, so demanding. I felt myself being lifted up, being held close to someone's chest. A dark, vanilla cologne surrounded me, cocooned me into a false sense of safety.

The person holding me nuzzled my hair. "You've been shot..." the person wheezed. "Izuna you've been shot... They shot you..."

Oh...

So the wet puddle on the floor...

"I told them not to shoot at you..."

"It's my blood", I said.

Why are you protecting me?

And everything became black.

"Izuna... Izuna, love, come back... Come back to me... It's okay... You're going to be okay..."

A soft hand on my cheek.

I tried to push it away.

"No, Izuna, no, it's me. I'm sorry. It's me. I'm done." His voice started trembling. "I'm done."

We heard footsteps, someone chuckle.

"So you softened up, huhh. We already agreed what would happen then."

How the fuck did he get out of prison?

I saw Tobirama look up at the man walking towards us. His eyes were wide, his mouth twitching in anger, his fringe hanging over his eyes. I had never seen him look so dangerous in my entire life.

"Izuna..." he panted. "My husband is completely capable of taking care of himself. He doesn't need me protecting him."

Tobes...

Madara came to us, bent down, looked at me. "Noticed anything strange at work today, babe?" he asked sweetly.

Tobirama grabbed him by the throat, choking him. "Don't you dare address him!"

Madara just chuckled. "Izuna, answer. Did you notice anything at work today?"

I thought about how sensitive my eyes had been to light, almost like a migraine-like aura. I looked at Madara questioningly.

"Hehh..." he smirked. "One of our members had you at gunpoint from the opposite building. Targeted you with a laser beam."

Oh... That would explain the irritation in my eyes. Also that it disappeared in the room at the back of the building that lacked windows, where I couldn't be targeted.

"Told Mr Lovesick here." He flicked his head towards Tobirama. "Perfect opportunity to use him quickly. Get him to take some hostages for me by saying 'Izuna is at gunpoint, come be my whore or he'll die.'" Tobirama's grip around his throat hardened. "But he failed. I kept you alive because that made him my toy. But now he seemingly doesn't care anymore..." With one swift movement, he overpowered Tobirama, turned him on his belly, sat down on him with his arms around his back. Tobirama screamed and I remembered I had broken one of his arms.

"TOBES!!" I screamed.

"Don't worry", Madara said. "I won't kill you..." He put a gun to Tobirama's head.

"NO!!"

"Not until I've forced you to watch me fuck him."

I felt my head starting to swim. I looked down, saw that I'd lost a copious amount of blood from the shot in my side, but it hadn't hit me somewhere vital enough to end my life. It just made me so weak I was unable to move.

"Look away once and he'll die."

"Izuna..." Tobirama... "It's okay. Let him kill me. Let him kill me, please. I'm done. I'm finished. I can't save this life. I don't want you to watch."

My hand was trembling. I slumped down as soon as I tried even one tiny movement, I was so weak by now.

Izuna... Izuna, Izuna, Izuna, PLEASE.

Please, keep going.

You have to keep going.

Just for a little while longer.

Do this one final thing and I promise.

I promise I'll let you go.

Just please...

Please, release Tobirama.

Because I care about him, too.

I love you, but I care about him deeply.

Please...

I love it when you kiss me.

I want to be in this world with you.

I felt my fingers close around the hidden gun in the pockets of my cargo trousers.

I pulled it out.

And before he'd even had time to react, I'd shot Madara through his heart.

His eyes stared in front of him.

I could see a light start to go out.

He turned to face me.

"Hehh..."

He lifted his gun.

And before Madara fell down dead, he shot Tobirama through the head.
