Last, but not the Least
Obito snapped his goggles firmly to his face and taking one last glance in the mirror; he pocketed his eye drops. "They're never going to come." Squinting his eyes, hoping his Sharingan would appear. "Kakashi is a jounin today. He'll never let me forget I'm an Uchiha with no Sharingan. No matter if my father is the clan leader, he'll never respect me. Now I'm almost glad that I never got him a present. Serves him right." A defiant glare crossed his face.
"Obito, you said you'd play with me today!" He looked down to see his sister pulling on his pants. How she made the perfect puppy dog eye's he'd never know.
"Suki, today I have an important mission! If it were anything else I'd stay. Tomorrow I promise. I'll tell Minato Sensei I want to spend a whole day with you, even if our village was under attack." He patted her on the top of the head, smiling and encouraging her to do the same.
"You say that every day! You hate Kakashi but you 'd rather fight with him then help me with my Sharingan!" He stared into his sisters eye's. She was only six years old and yet she already had her Sharingan come in. Her violet eyes glistened with ready tears. As hard as it had always been to know that she was excelling so fast could make it only easy to dislike her but he loved her too much. Like him already she shared a hate for Kakashi, unfortunately for Rin too. Her reasoning was for all the time they took him away from her.
"Listen, if you don't get upset about it today; I'll take you out for some ramen tomorrow. Only don't tell Mother or Father. Deal?" He bent on one knee and reached out for a hug; a peace-offering.
Instantly she burst out in tears but excepted the hug. "Promise?" she hiccupped into his jacket.
"Of course. I love you. Be good for mom today, she can't keep up with you." He carried her to the kitchen, handing her off to his mother, who flinched at any moment of physical contact with Suki.
"Where are you off to, Obito?" His mother asked, while Suki burned her red face into his mother's shoulder.
"Sorry but important mission today. I'm almost already late, they'll kill me this time if I am." Panic crept into his voice. "Bye mom, bye Suki!" He planted one more kiss on the top of her head. "I promise, don't forget." Suki shot her head up and beamed at her brother
"I'll never forget!" she waved frantically at him.
Obito turned and ran. As he flew out the front door an old woman was crouched over from the weight of her groceries. Obito sighed. He had a little time to spare, only a little. "Do you need some help?"...
"Kakashi." Obito wheezed. "I know you'll look out for Rin for me. But can you promise me something?"
"Anything." Kakashi hung to every word.
"Look after Suki," Blood bubbled in the corner of his mouth "Tell her what happened, everything. Make sure you watch her grow up because you know I'll be watching her too, with you." Kakashi embraced his hand in a brotherhood fashion. "Go! Go now before you're both killed!"
"Suki! You must go with the ANBU, they'll take you somewhere safe. I'll come get you when I can." Kakashi tried to pull her arms away from him.
"Don't leave me, don't leave me like Obito!" she screamed.
"I'll come back for you I promise, I promised Obito too!" Finally he was able to grip her arms and handed them over to one of the AMBU.
One of them stepped over to him and whispered over Suki's screams "Since when did you become so attached. Kakashi...
Kakashi sat up in his bed. Sweat poured over his face and body. Every year around Obito's death he had to replay it in his mind. Suki. He could never forget her tears and screams. It was years ago but it always felt as if it was still happening. Every day for brief moments he had to re live his worst memories. Although in the recent weeks his nightmares were slowly fading. He had his own team to train and mentor. Naruto, Sakura and Sauske. He always thought it was funny how the three of them reminded him of his days long ago. How he cared for each own and of their abilities he watches progress.
He could finally shake the fog from his head and dressed himself ready for another day. He had a few missions to take his team on, hoping they'd all get done by the end of the day. Patting his book in place he set off. He was waiting to see if today Sakura had decided to take the chunin exam. He had little doubt she would but knew better to check up on them.
