WARNING: Seriously angsty, and contains mentions to character death later on. Possibly OOC as well, so be warned.
I don't own Naruto.
The rain swirled around Kakashi, cocooning him in a soft blanket of silence as he stood in front of the memorial stone. He wasn't entirely sure how he had got there; the last thing he could remember was the battlefield. Kakashi shrugged off the unease. He was at the memorial stone, and that was the only thing that mattered.
If he was really quiet, then he could hear the near silent scratchy whisperings of his deceased. If he squinted hard enough into the air, then the forms of those he had lost would shimmer in the air and for a little while Kakashi could pretend that they were still alive. There was a rustle behind him, almost like something slithering over dead leaves, and Kakashi turned around. There, opposite him, stood Obito. Kakashi stood speechless.
"Hello Kakashi. Sorry I'm late, but you see there was this-" He was cut off by a kunai pointed at his throat.
"Who are you?" Kakashi growled. It was a trick, it had to be a trick, because Obito was dead and he was never, ever coming back…
"Kakashi? It's me, Obito."
"Obito is dead."
"I know I am. I was crushed by a rock, remember?" Kakashi lowered his kunai. Only four people knew that, and out of the four Kakashi was the only one that was still alive.
"Look, Kakashi, we're sorry. All of us, for leaving you here."
"I'm not angry."
"You were. We were watching you."
"I was more angry at myself."
"Hm. Anyway, we are sorry. How's the eye?"
"Huh? Oh, that. It works fine." The two frieds started talking, Kakashi telling Obito about the going ons in the village after Obito died and Obito telling Kakashi how Kushina still yelled at Minato. Eventually they became silent again, basking in each other's company. Finally, Obito spoke again.
"I am sorry."
"What do you mean?"
"Come with me." Obito stood up, as did Kakashi, and showed Kakashi something that caused a sensation similar to lightning bolt shoot through his stomach. The two of them then disappeared into the shadows.
Meanwhile, four bodies were being carried back to Konoha. Among the four one was a traitor, abandoning the village in pursuit of other goals, one was a medic that was thought to be the next Tsunade, and one was a future hokage and was ultimately defeated by the person that he had dedicated years to finding. The last was someone with mismatched eyes and an unseen lower half of face, and sensei to the other three bodies. That day, three more names were added to the memorial stone that the last person spent so much of his time contemplating in front of:
Uchiha Obito
Rin
Uzumaki Kushina
Namikaze Minato
Uzumaki Naruto
Haruno Sakura
Hatake Kakashi
A/N: Hehehe… what a cheery little story. I'm pretty proud of it though. It was written in a sudden brainwave whilst contemplating possible other story plots. :P
