(A/N: /This chapter is going to be pretty short, but it's mostly just a little story set-up, so to speak. Each chapter is like a different story and is only loosely related to each other. Anyways, yes this takes place in the afterlife shortly after Kakashi dies [how he does, I don't know- I'll leave that up to your imagination]. Rin is still about 15 years old, and Obito is 30, and just because I can, I want Kakashi to be about 30 years old again as well, since it'll just make things easier- Well, hope you enjoy the series!)
Kakashi blinked in surprise. Yeah, he had died, and that kinda sucked, but he was glad to see several people were waiting for him. Minato, Kushina, Sakumo, Rin, and Obito were all there.
He still wasn't overjoyed to see Obito after what he'd done, but they had managed to try to patch things up at the very end there, and he knew this was a good sign that the Uchiha was still interested in fixing their bond.
That or Rin forced him into coming, of course.
Either way, Kakashi was happy enough and greeted them, and one by one they approached him. None of the exchanges were overly long, being that they had been watching over him or already had some sort of conversation with him before.
But then lastly, Obito stepped forward. Neither of them were sure what to say.
Finally Obito said, "You took your good time getting here."
It wasn't much, and it really wasn't very friendly, but it was enough to break the tension and at least let Kakashi know that he wasn't completely furious with him.
"I suppose I did, huh?"
Rin stepped back over to him then, knowing the two of them needed help conversing. "I guess we finally get to be a team again, huh?"
"Yeah, I guess so." Kakashi agreed, though Obito didn't respond.
Rin sighed in exasperation. "You two better get used to each other again. After all, you two are going to have to share a living space."
Both of the males shot her a shocked look. "What?!"
"You heard me. It'll do you both some good. Obito's been living in a house of his own here and you'll need a place too Kakashi. And unless you burn the place down or blow it up, which neither of you better do on purpose, you'll be trying reform your friendship again." Rin said seriously.
"Was it ever there to begin with...?" Obito muttered, though Rin shot him a warning look. "Fine... I'll let him stay, I guess..."
Rin smiled. "Good. Now you two had better get along!" With that, she turned and walked away, clearly trying to force them into being social with one another.
Kakashi glanced at Obito, and said in an attempt to lighten the mood, "Got any matches...?"
"No, but I could go get Deidara..." The Uchiha replied, then added, "Come on, let's just accept we're stuck with each other..."
"Alright, fair enough."
As Obito lead the way out of the blank white area for the newly arrived dead, things started turning out to look a lot like Earth. The pure white faded into various colors that eventually became a lush grassy scenery and a town could be made out in the distance.
"That's where we live then?" Kakashi asked.
"Yep.."
Silence fell between them as they walked, though eventually Kakashi said, "You realize we were just bossed around by a 15 year old girl, right?"
Obito shrugged. "Rin's not like that. She's far more than that."
Kakashi nodded his agreement. He wasn't thrilled to have to live with Obito, but if it helped make them friends faster and made Rin happy, he supposed he could deal with it. And judging by the way Obito was acting, he assumed he was thinking the same thing.
