From Beyond The Grave...
A KakashixObito Fanfic
Disclaimer: Kyuubi-vs-Shukaku and I don't own Naruto or any other characters from the show. I WISH I owned Obito and Im sure Kiyo-chan wishes she owned Kakashi... But oh well...
The 24 year old man glanced up at the gates in front of him. It's been 10 years... 10 years since he died... How could he face them again...? How could he face Him... Easy... He couldn't... That's why he prolonged the trip here. He bit his lip, his black right eye shining and his left eye was covered with bandages. He gulped and walked forward, his orange goggles hanging around his neck and his Clan symbol faded on his back from years of wear and tear...
The masked twenty four year old stood silently in front the Memorial Stone, just like he had every day for the last ten years. He was relaying his many faults and regrets to the one person that would never hear them again, and mourning his comrade and best friend.
'My fault...'
'My fault...'
The 24 year old man entered the village, in awe at how it changed so much. He let out the deep breath he had been holding. He headed for the Hokage's Tower; planning on getting information. He was frightened. The one thing kept replaying in his mind... Over and over and over again...
'He will never want me...'
Kakashi finally forced himself to leave, suddenly recalling that he had a scroll to give to the Hokage. He walked through the village, making sure no one could see him in his pained state of mind. The one thought he always tried to ignore but never could ran rampant through his mind.
'He never wanted me...'
'He never wanted me...'
The man finally made his way to the Hokage's tower about an hour after arrival at the village. He gulped and knocked on the door; hearing two voices inside...
(Narifreak's A/N: AnimeGeek92: wow; we got two emos running around...)
"Here you go, Hokage-sama." said Kakashi, handing a closed scroll to the elderly ma. He turned to leave when Sarutobi's voice rang out.
"Kakashi." the man faced him, his one visible eye emotionless. "You need to stop grieving. It is not your fault he died."
The man knocked again, frightened. What would they say? The village changed so much... Did anybody even remember him...?
Kakashi did not reply, but turned to leave the old man to his visitor. He opened the door to let the thankfully patient person in and...
...fell to the floor in a dead faint.
The man at the door let out a shocked yell as the other fell. He quickly caught the man. He glanced up at the Hokage, completely shocked and confused. He glanced down at the unconscious man and his eyes widened in recognition...
"Kashi..." He whispered.
'I'm dreaming.' thought Kakashi, keeping his eyes firmly closed. ' I'm dreaming or I'm crazy, and I don't care because in this dream Obito is alive and I don't ever want to wake up.'
But wake up he did, and to his joy he wasn't crazy. Kakashi was sitting in a chair in front of the Sandaime's desk, with the somehow-not-dead Obito uchiha staring at him concernadly with his one eye. The Hokage was staring back and forth between the shocked man and the man who was thought to be dead.
" O...bi..to?"
The man, Obito, stared worriedly at his old friend. When Kakashi spoke to him, he could have just melted. He wanted to be there with him. All those times, sitting on the KIA memorial, listening to Kakashi talk... He loved it... Now, he was back and Kakashi really was talking to him...
'Kakashi... I've waited so long to speak to you... But now that I can... I don't know what to say...' Obito thought.
"Kakashi... Are you alright...?" Obito asked his friend with concern.
" You...are you... are you real?" he asked worriedly, fearing it wasn't. Kakashi was feeling things he hadn't allowed himself to feel in years, things like hope and love. Maybe now Obito would get a chance to hear him say all the things he had told his grave.
Obito nodded, his right eye showing all the concern he held for Kakashi. All the times listening to the stories about Kakashi's team... He just wanted to make sure Kakashi never got hurt again...
"I am real Kakashi...' Obito said softly. Obito glanced at the Hokage. "I don't know how, or why... But I am..."
" I..." and Kakashi asked the question he had wanted to ask for ten years. " Do you hate me for it? For letting you...d-die?"
Obito frowned. He knew this much of Kakashi's private life from the times he sat on the stone.
"Why would I hate you for listening to me...? I told you to go with Rin... I meant it..." Obito said.
'Why would I ever hate you...? You're everything I dreamt of as the perfect person...' He added the last part in his mind. He wouldn't ever let Kakashi know that though...
"It was my fault..should have listened to you...my fault." mumbled Kakashi, thinking about when he had abandoned Rin.
'You were always a better person than I. You are perfect.'
"It isn't your fault Kakashi..." Obito frowned. "Don't you dare ever think that it was! because it wasn't!" Obito said, tears entering his right eye. He let them fall, not caring anymore. He was always a crybaby. He didn't care anymore if others saw it.
'Why...? why are you blaming yourself Kakashi...? If anything... It was my fault... We could've gone back for Rin after we did the mission... It's all my fault... Not yours...'
(Kyuubi-vs-Shukaku's A/N: Ardella777dauph: you're right; we do have 2 little emos running around lol)
Kakashi, without thinking about it, grasped his friend's hand tightly.
"It's okay." he said. Then he stood, brining the other man to his feet as well.
"We are leaving, Hokage-sama, to go somewhere private and talk." Kakashi said firmly, his tone indicating it wasn't up for discussion. He dragged the still quietly crying Obito with him out the door and to the Memorial Stone.
Obito followed his friend, blushing at the contact, but he forced it away. He was still crying silently, but he couldn't stop. He followed Kakashi to the Memorial Stone.
"K-Kashi..." He said softly, trying to not start crying harshly.
Kakashi walked forward quickly, his thankfully hidden cheeks turning bright red but he forced it away.
"I want to talk to you, Obi." he said, sitting cross legged on the ground. "I want to know everything about you, and I want you to know everything about me."
Obito kept crying softly, and couldn't resist anymore. He hugged Kakashi tightly, his crying getting a bit harsher.
"K-Kashi... I-I'm s-sorry..." He kept crying over and over again.
Kakashi wrapped his arms around his sobbing friend.
"What on earth are you sorry for? I abandoned you." he replied. There were tears trickling down his good eyes, Obito's gift hidden underneath his headband.
Obito kept sobbing, clinging tightly to his friend. He didn't want Kakashi to think he abandoned him...
"Y-you d-d-didnt a-abandoned m-me...! I-I s-should've l-listened t-to y-you! I-If w-we w-w-went b-back f-for R-Rin a-after w-we d-did th-the m-mission t-then t-things w-wouldn't h-have h-happened!" He sobbed, his right eye still pouring out tears.
Kakashi put his hands on Obito's shoulders and said, firmly,
"If you had listened to me, Rin would have died then. I would probably have died then. Sensei may have died then as well." Obito raised his head. Kakashi continued, "You saved all three of us that day, you know."
Obito sniffled, drying his right eye as he stared up at Kakashi. He lowered his head and hugged Kakashi, upset. He knew, either way, his sacrifice did nothing. He clung to Kakashi for dear life as he said,
"Yeah... But either way... They died in the end..."
"My fault. My fault, Rin fell off the cliff. My fault, sensei was alone fighting the demon.(1) My fault. You are not to be blamed, Obi-chan." Kakashi was horrified; how the hell had he let that slip? Better talk his way out of this, and fast!
"I..I mean...er..." so much for that...
Obito looked up at Kakashi, still crying. He wiped away Kakashi's tears, his eye shining with concern,
"Not your fault... Sensei was the only one who could stop the demon... Rin slipped... It's not your fault Kashi-kun..." Obito wrapped his arms around Kakashi again and hugged him, burying his face into Kakashi's shoulder.
"Please don't blame yourself... I can't stand to see it..."
Kakashi laughed, a laugh that was more sob than laugh.
"Fine. Neither one of us are to blame. And we are both stupid, stupid people who want everything bad that happens to be their fault, okay?"
It was too much for him. He had not thought the man he was holding was alive twenty four hours ago, and now the two of them were blaming themselves for the deaths of the people they loved the most. He would be lucky if he retained his sanity through the day.
Obito laughed the same kind of laugh and nodded, head still on Kakashi's shoulder.
"Okay... We're both stupid, stupid people... A crybaby idiot and a serious idiot... Okay...?"
He never thought he'd be in this position before. Just sitting here... In Kakashi's arms... He didn't want the moment to end... Unfortunately, all good things ended... This one ended by a blonde, a pinked haired girl and an emo... Uchiha?!
'Oh shit...!'
Kakashi's eye gave a slight twitch. Oh, some bratty Genins were so getting a Million Years of Death.
"S-sensei?" squeled Sakura, her inner fangirl going into overload.
"Obito-san?" asked Sasuke breathlessly, eyes wide.
"What the hell?" asked Naruto, extremely confused. But then again, everything except ramen confuses poor Naruto. But I digress.
Kakashi sighed and just tightened his grip on his friend.
Obito looked up at Sasuke. He smiled weakly, drying his right eye again. He really didn't want to see any Uchiha members until much much later, meaning bway/b after his time with Kakashi, but oh well...
"Hey little brother..." He muttered. He knew Sasuke wasn't really his brother, but it was close enough...
"Brother?!" Naruto exclaimed, eyes wide. What the hell?!
Kakashi wanted to try to break a tree by running into it really, really hard. Those damn kids had the worst timing of anyone he had ever met.
"You...you are supposed to be dead." said the younger Uchiha, eyes narrowing in suspicion.
Obito sighed. He had a mutual feeling as Kakashi, but he fought the urge... Those kids had rather poor timing...
"But I'm not. I don't know how, or why, but I'm alive... I woke up in a forest in Tea Country a few weeks ago..." The older Uchiha replied, squirming his way out of Kakashi's hold. "If you wish for proof, here."
Obito unwrapped his bandages that covered his left eye. When the bandages fell to the ground, the kids and Kakashi were staring at an empty socket with tears starting to fall out of it.
"Ewwww! Gross!" Naruto said.
"Naruto!" Sakura glared, but she couldn't help but shudder in disgust.
Sasuke looked morbidly interested, a fact which caused Kakashi to shiver.
" Did you really have to do that?" he asked the other man.
Obito shrugged and went to put the dirty bandages back on. He didn't like the fact he had no eye in his left socket; but he was alright with it since he gave his Sharingan to Kakashi.
"Sorry..." He murmured, a bit embarrassed that Kakashi and three children saw his weakness.
Sakura, who even though she had not yet discovered her dream to be a medic, was on full nurse mode immediatly.
"Obito-san, you should get those bandages changed. And yourself checked over at the hospital."
Kakashi's eye widened; he didn't want his ...his?...Obito to leave him after he only just got him back!
Obito blinked at her. He knew he should get his bandages changed, but he didn't care. He had these bandages for the past few weeks since he came back.
"I'm alright. I've had these bandages for a while. I'm fine. I don't need to go to the hospital... I went to one in Tea Country..." He lied smoothly. He was glad for his history of lying whenever he was late to training all those years ago... They certainly payed off...
--End Chapter One
Kyuubi-vs-Shukaku and I don't know how Rin died, so we made it up...! Plus, Kakashi has to be feeling SOME guilt from what happened to the Fourth Hokage; his Sensei. So, that explains that.
Second chapter coming soon cause, whenever Kyuubi-vs-Shukaku and I start the rp up again, it's the beginning of the chapter. When we end it for the night, it's the end of the chapter.
So, yes, things might get confusing. But her and I agreed it's easier to do it that way.
And we're doing this in Para Rp mode, so I'm coping and pasting and making the correct changes and all.
NOTE: We agreed on the title! )
And her and I got an agreement... I play well as Obito; not as Kakashi...
She plays well as Kakashi; not as Obito...
So anything in Obi's POV is my posts, anything in Kakashi's POV is Kiyo-chan. If you can understand any of this; Kiyo-chan and I will mention you in this fic, maybe. Or you'll just get cookies. XD
Please review and no flames! Cause this is totally coming from our rp... DIRECTLY from it... XD And tell Kiyo-chan what you think of it or else I'll kick yer aft!
NOTE: My friend from Deviantart and I are rping this out... P
