Ok, before I start, I have a little note about my OC's name, Awaiko.
Awai is one of the words for "light". Her name translates to "Light Child", which I thought was rather fitting, as she is the younger sister of Obito, who got set on the path of darkness.
Not quite sure how she came to be Obito's sister, it just... happened.
In my defense, it doesn't say much about Obito's home life, or family, or past even. So, I gave him a sister. My mind is weird, so that's a thing.
I have created this chapter, as well as a couple others several times, modifying things, though never writing it.
Hopefully it won't be too bad.
Awaiko groaned.
She hated the cramps, hated them with all her heart.
Scratch that. She hated this time of the month in general.
And it was midnight, for Kami's sake!
With a sigh, she stood up, brushing her fingers against the wall. Dragging her feet, she walked down the flight of stairs, turning on the kitchen light when she reached the bottom step.
Obito.
Tears stained her pale cheeks as she remembered what had kept her up so late.
'Obito-nii... '
Minato-san had come earlier in the afternoon, bringing them the news about her brother's death.
Awaiko swore she had seen tears in his ocean-blue eyes.
Hearing the soft patter of rain, she slid the back-door open, and froze.
Sitting in the backyard, seemingly ignorant to the cold rain, was a boy, his silver hair wet and dripping. Next to him, a dark blue piece of cloth lay in the grass.
It had been suffocating, that damn mask. Choking, restricting.
Hearing the door open, the silver-haired boy turned, his coal-black eye wide.
Then Awaiko was shocked further. While that eye was black, his left eye was a Sharingan.
"W-who...?!" Was all the stunned girl could say.
They stared at each other for a moment. Then she recognized him. "Hatake Kakashi?"
Kakashi nodded silently. "A-Awaiko Uchiha. Um... I know this sounds kind of rude, but why are you in the yard...?"
"... My friend lived here... He... Died recently."
Awaiko was quiet for a moment, "Did... Did that friend happen to be Obito Uchiha?" Seeing his surprise and stiff nod, she added, "He was my older brother. Minato-san came and told my family and I earlier.
"Y-you can come sit on the porch, if you'd like..." Sitting down herself, she leaned back against the wall.
After a moment's hesitation, Kakashi joined her.
They were completely silent for several minutes.
"Obito used to talk about you a lot, you know." Awaiko murmured.
"He'd talk about you sometimes, too. Once or twice he even used the excuse that he 'had to make my sister breakfast, then bring her to the Academy, which was why I was so late'. Was he actually telling the truth?"
"He never made me breakfast!" She smiled slightly, "Though he did walk me to the Academy a couple times."
They were soundless again.
Hot tears slid down her cheeks, and she glanced over at Kakashi, and saw he was crying, as well.
Awaiko started when she heard her mother, "Awaiko? Are you out her-" Tori, Awaiko and Obito's mother, broke off, noticing the silver-haired boy.
Kakashi darted forward, grabbing his mask and quickly put it on. It was bad enough that Awaiko had seen him without it.
"Oh! Kakashi-kun!" Tori had met the prodigy several times before, as her son had been his teammate.
"I'm sorry," he blurted, looking anywhere but the two Uchiha.
"Eh?" The two stared at him, surprised, "What for?"
"I... I couldn't save Obito. It was because of me that he died! He pushed me out of the way, and got crushed by the rock instead!"
Tori's eyes were sad. "Kakashi-kun, you know I could never blame you. Obito... He died a hero." "Yeah!"
Kakashi had almost forgotten Awaiko was there.
"Obito-nii sacrificed himself to save his comrades. I-I'm sure he wouldn't want you to beat yourself up over it! Obito-nii may have been a lazy ass most of the time, with a complete disregard for showing up on time, but he was loyal, and he wouldn't do something like that without a cause."
Awaiko crossed her arms, locking her eyes with Kakashi's.
Tori watched her daughter, a small smile on her face.
Kakashi stared up at her, shock written all over his face.
"What?! It's true!"
Hope it isn't too horrible...
I just added Awaiko's mom now, because I'm weird.
