Getting Even

Chapter One

Kakashi was going to meet his team. They were leaving for a mission later that day, and had been asked to meet at their usual training ground. Apparently, Minato-sensei wanted to go through a few details with them there first.

When Kakashi reached their meeting place, he realized that he was about twenty minutes early. It didn't really matter – he liked thinking alone. He walked closer to his favorite tree, planning to rest in the shade, when he noticed someone sitting on one of its branches. The person had his back to him, but the black, short hair, dark-blue/orange clothing and last but not least the Uchiha-fan gave away his identity.

Still, Kakashi had his difficulties believing his own eyes.

Kakashi blinked one. Twice. And then a third time, just to be sure.

"Obito?" he asked, almost hesitantly.

Obito's head turned as he looked back, with eyes much harder and colder than Kakashi had ever seen before. Obito was always so bright that the sudden darkness almost scared him. Obito's look softened once he realized it was his teammate.

"Bakashi," he greeted as he jumped down from the tree.

"What are you doing here so early?" Kakashi asked, almost suspiciously.

Something dark yet again passed through his eyes, but it was gone so fast Kakashi wasn't sure if he had really seen anything at all.

"No reason. I just felt like it. Shouldn't you be happy I'm on time for once?"

"Of course, loser. I just wondered if you had gotten ill or something. Never thought I'd see the day you were on time, yet alone early."

Obito huffed. "Call me loser again when I'm Hokage."

"There's no way a crybaby like you can become Hokage." Kakashi knew he was being mean, but something about Obito always ticked him off. He managed to get under his skin like no one else.

"What did you say!?"

"Forget it, loser."

Obito's look darkened again. "Spar with me till the others get here."

"Oh please. That's hardly a challenge."

With that, Obito attacked Kakashi. Since they were leaving for a mission soon and couldn't be low on chakra, they stuck to only using taijutsu. The two looked like they almost danced around each other, hitting, kicking, dodging and blocking.

Kakashi had to admit that Obito had gotten a lot better – but he was still no match for Kakashi. The masked boy managed to land a kick at his opponent, which caused Obito to lose his balance. As he fell, he pulled Kakashi with him.

"You've had enough yet, loser?"

A look of irritation passed through Obito's eyes, but he didn't answer. Kakashi tried to get up, but Obito kicked under his legs so that he fell again. He grabbed Kakashi's wrists and spun them around. When Kakashi hit the ground, Obito quickly pinned him down.

Kakashi glared at him. "Still want to fight, do you?"

He tried to push the other off him, but found out that he couldn't make Obito move at all. Obito had his hands in an iron-hard grip and had suddenly seemed to get a lot stronger.

Kakashi struggled to get free for a minute, but he just couldn't. Realizing he was only embarrassing himself further by continuingly trying, he turned still. This couldn't happen! There was no way Obito would let him live this down. He had to break free! But how in hell had Obito gotten so strong? Of course – though Kakashi easily won over Obito in strategy and jutsus, he had never really been that much physically stronger. In strength alone, the gap had never been big. Still, it annoyed him that Obito had caught up to him even if it only was a matter of raw muscle strength.

They hadn't used any chakra to preserve it for the mission, but Kakashi was seriously temped to use it now. If he did, this would be over in a heartbeat. But doing that would be admitting defeat, in a way. That he was too weak to fight against Obito without it.

Obito's eyes narrowed further as he leaned closer to his pinned down teammate.

"Did you say something, Kakashi?" he said in an unusually low voice.

Kakashi gritted his teeth together. He couldn't just give up! In a hard effort, he managed to roll them over, but Obito wouldn't let go of his hands and spun them around again. When Kakashi tried to fight him off, Obito pinned his arms down over his head using a kunai to impale Kakashi's sweater and pushed it deep into the ground as he straddled him, immobilizing him completely.

Two pair of black, angry eyes met, Kakashi's the most furious. An angry and embarrassed blush showed just above his mask. He swore. There was no way he'd acknowledge that Obito had beat him, and even less of a chance he'd beg him to let him go.

A slow smirk spread on Obito's lips and Kakashi clenched his fists hard. It wasn't the usual goofy, happy face he always wore – it was a cocky, almost sly smirk. Obito leaned closer, and Kakashi broke eye contact, turning his head to the side, blushing angrily.

"Too scared to face me, coward?" Obito whispered in his ear. The unexpected action made as shiver run down Kakashi's spine.

Obito, who noticed, chuckled darkly, as he lazily caressed the other's jaw.

Kakashi's breath hitched. What was he doing? He didn't act like the Obito he knew at all. He had never seen such a dark side of the loud-mouthed boy before. Hell, before he hadn't even thought that Obito could be dark if his life depended on it.

Obito's hand reached Kakashi's chin, and angled his face towards his, pushing Kakashi's head slightly backwards. Kakashi felt Obito's breath on his face and froze. He was far too close!

"Oh, Kakashi…" Obito lifted his left hand to let his finger trace the edge of Kakashi's mask, his other hand still keeping the other boy's face in place. "… I would never have guessed you were such a scaredy cat."

One finger moved under his mask, and Kakashi pressed his teeth together hard.

"Now tell me…." He started pulling back the black material covering Kakashi's face. "… do you still think I'm a loser?"

"Kakashi! Obito! Are you guys here yet!?" a familiar voice called out.

Obito sighed, then jumped off Kakashi, pulling up the kunai as he went, and ran off to meet Rin.

"Hey Rin! I'm here! Bakashi too!" he shouted to her, waving his hand and grinned widely.

"Hello Obito!"

Kakashi stood up, brushing the dust off him and adjusting his mask. Then he walked closer to his team, keeping a safe distance from Obito. Obito's earlier mood was broken. He was yet again the careless, always grinning boy he knew.

Kakashi couldn't help but to wonder what boy was the real Obito. Was this just an act he put up?

"Hi Kakashi." Rin smiled at him, blushing slightly. Her glance drifted down to his wrists, and her head tilted to her right. "Kakashi, what happened to your clothes?"

Kakashi fidgeted under her gaze. "Uh." He glanced at Obito. "Training."

"Oh." She smiled at him. "Well, don't worry. I can fix it for you!"

"Hello team!" Minato greeted as he appeared among them suddenly. He wasn't called the yellow flash of Konoha for nothing. "Ready for a B-classed mission?"

"Yes! I'll kick everybody's ass! There's no way I'd let Bakashi outdo me!"

Once again, Kakashi couldn't help wonder who he really was.

"For this mission we're going to split up it two teams. I will be with Rin, and Obito and Kakashi will team up together. Obito – Kakashi will be the leader."

"Aw. But can't I be with Rin? I don't want to work with him…"

"No, Obito. You and Kakashi will have to set your personal feelings aside for this mission. It's important that you can work together or we'll fail."

"Yes sensei."

They started walking toward the gate out of Konoha. Kakashi accidentally glanced at Obito. His eyes sparkled almost mischievously as he smirked at him. Kakashi paled.

As they walked, Minato told them about their assignment.

"Our mission is to protect a wagon of supplies to the battlefield. Rin and I will be with the wagon, but Obito and Kakashi, you are to walk a few miles before us and look out for eventual enemies. We are to avoid a fight, so if you spot someone you have to inform us so we can take a detour around them. Do you get it?"

"Yes Minato-sensei!" All three of them answered.

"Then it's time to split up. Kakashi and Obito get going. Head for battlefield B. Don't get too far ahead of us."

"Yes sir!"

Obito and Kakashi leaped away. As they jumped up in the trees, Kakashi thought he heard something.

"Well… this will be interesting…"

No. It was probably just the wind.

A/N So! First I wanted to make an oneshot for Valentine's day. However, ObiKaka IS my favorite pairing, and the oneshot slowly started turning into a longer story as I got more ideas. So, I'm considering trying to make this more than just a oneshot. It probably won't be that long, but…

What do you think? Do anyone think I should give it a try, or should I leave it at a oneshot only? I can't seem to make up my mind! Would anyone be interested?

I appreciate reviews a lot. If you find anything you like or don't like about my story, I would be very happy to know. Feedback helps me become a better writer.

Also, I've decided to make Obito slightly darker (and stronger) in this fanfic and switching personality a bit (kind of like Tobi) He might be a bit OOC. (Alright, pretty much OOC.)

UPDATE - Turned this from a oneshot to a short story. :)
