Together as One ObiKaka
Chapter one-Rin
Obito was far ahead of Kakashi as he practically slammed through the trees.
"Obito slow down! You'll give away our position!"
Obito wasn't listening. The old Kakashi would have rolled his eyes, but now he chanelled more chakra to his feet to keep up with the raging Uchiha. And then they stopped. The iwigakure ninja seemed to be alerted to their presence and Rin was in their clutches. Kakashi watched as his friend's hands clenched tight enough for his nails to draw his own blood. He shook and he looked terrifying. A year ago, Kakashi would never have guessed the Uchiha could hold so much anger. He put a hand on the Uchiha's shoulder as they watched. She moved slowly as though not entirely in control of her body.
"It looks like a puppet master jutsu," Kakashi said to Obito. Obito only nodded
"Alright, we go in with smoke bombs, you get Rin out of there and I'll use my chidori to eliminate as many of them as possible and catch up to you."
"What? I can hold them off just as well as you…"
"Rin needs you Obito, you can protect her," Kakashi was surprised at how well he could talk Obito into following his plans these days. Before he would have just continued yelling at him to listen to him. Obito now looked proud to be entreated with Kakashi's trust and what Kakashi made him believe was the more important job of the two. They got their smoke bombs ready and swooped down from the trees, Obito grabbed Rin and hoisted her onto his back running back towards Konoha as fast as he could. Kakashi pulled out his father's blade which he'd had fixed a few months after the end of the war. He took down as many as he could and ran back after his two comrades, now thye had to be careful, because no doubt the kiri ninja would bring reinforcements to get their kidnapped victim back. He was quicker than Obito who was carrying Rin and had caught up quickly.
Obito was chanelling all his chakra into his feet, pushing forward and trying to go faster. Rin looked displeased and spoke into Obito's ear, "Stop."
He didn't listen, his brain kept telling him to keep running.
"Obito…please… stop."
Her voice was louder this time and he was completely at full brake when he heard her speak .Kakashi stopped too when he realized the Uchiha wans't running any more. Obito put her down momentarily thinking that she needed water. Kakashi came forward, "What's wrong?"
"She asked me to stop," Obito said.
"Wait," the girl began to cry pushing the bottle of water Obito was offering her away.
"This could be a tactic the enemy is using to get her back Obito, we can't stop."
But it was too late, someone from the trees surrounding them spoke, "Give us back the girl, and we won't kill you."
"We'll kill you if you lay another hand on her!" Obito yelled back. The ninja in the trees didn't wait for another answer, they lept out and attacked the two boys who quickly pulled out their own kunai to counter the attacks. Both surrounded Rin, ready to protect their comrade against anything. Twenty more kiri nin, most of them ANBU, came out of the trees, "You are surrounded, giver her to us now and we may still consider sparring your lives."
Both boy's glared in response, Obito heard the tell tale signs of Kakashi activating his new jutsu- chiddori. And the silver haired boy ran toward the nearest one and then to Obito's horror, Rin was not behind him anymore. She was running straight for Kakashi's lightning blade. And Kakashi couldn't stop. In seconds Kakashi's arm was covered in her blood and Obito barely caught her as she fell back. She was dead in moments. Kakashi was horrified at what he'd done, and collapsed in front of her onto his knees. But Obito felt bloodlust run through him. His rage intensified tenfold and he stood up carefully giving her body to Kakashi who held her.
Obito's sharingan began to change into a triangular form, into kamui. Kakashi could feel it changing and clutched his eye feeling pain run through it. This had happened before, but it was never as strong as this. He could feel the world drifting into darkness and a few moments later passed out over Rin's body.
Obito didn't pay any attention to them and as soon as he heard the words of the first ANBU speak he took out a shuriken and ran toward the man. The ANBU easily countered it, but as he lunged for the boy, Obito unexpectedly disappeared into the tree. He emerged from the other side to kill an ANBU sitting there. And in finding this new power, he began using it more, he dove through trees, avoiding enemy attacks but able to kill them easily.
"Retreat!" The head of the Kiri nin yelled.
"Where are you going!? I haven't even started yet!" Obito said the power running through his veins. In a matter of five minutes, not one of the Kirigakure nin were standing, the forest around the clearing was bloody and Obito was covered in it. He willed the Kamui away and trudged through the red grass to where his friends lay. He pulled Rin's lifeless body from Kakashi's arms and held her. She'd stopped bleeding finally. He wiped one of his hands on his clothes and ran his fingers over her lifeless lips, "Rin…Rin, why did you have to die?" Slowly, trembling in sorry he began to sob. Kakashi woke up during that time, rubbing his eye. He watched as Obito cried for the girl he loved and in the end kissed her lifeless lips carefully.
"I'm sorry, Obito," Kakashi said looking away. But when he looked away he was stung with the horror of the mess around the clearing. There were twenty corpses lying in various positions, blood dripped from some of the tree limbs and the ground soaked it up.
"O-obito…you-you didn't do this, did you?" Kakashi asked looking over at his friend. At first he thought the blood was from Rin, but now he was sure, that the blood all over his friend's clothes was not hers.
"I did," Obito said slowly in between sobs, "I-I killed them all. I hate them…for what they did to her. What they made her do!" He sobbed anew. And a twinge of pity formed in the pity of Kakashi's stomach. Rin had loved him, no Obito, but he didn't dare tell Obito because he had really taken no interest in Rin. But he would regard Rin as one of his closest friends. But his hand had killed her- would Obito blame him? Obito looked up to his friend, noticing that for the first time, Kakashi was crying too. His heart eased a little at the sight-that the one person who'd made fun of him for it, was now crying with him.
Nearby both were alerted to a presence, and leaves moving slightly at the other edge of the clearing. Obito grabbed a new kunai, but the person in the bushes didn't make themselves present and Kakashi had seen all the bloodshed he could handle. He took Obito's arm, "Quick, let's go back to the village."
Obito nodded and picked her up and the two quickly leapt into the trees when they judged that they were far enough away, they found the main trail and went on foot. Obito noticed vaguely that Kakashi no longer held his head high, he slouched and his head faced the ground. He looked at the lifeless body again and the tears began to fall again. How would he live without Rin, he wondered quietly.
