A/N - I discovered that someone wanted me to continue this story, so I'm back with another chapter for you :)
"Tobi wants to know where Remi-chan is going!" Tobi exclaimed, scaring the living daylights out of me and nearly making me lose my balance.
"To my room?" I answered confusedly.
"But Remi-channnnn." Tobi whined. "Tobi told Remi-chan that Remi-chan is staying with Tobi tonight."
"Well yeah, now come on." I replied as I once again began heading to my room only to stop when the masked man didn't follow.
"Tobi..?" I questioned slowly as I walked towards him not realizing I was doing exactly what he wanted.
"Tobi doesn't think Remi-chan is being very smart today." Tobi announced teasingly, sounding quite sure of himself as I paused a few inches in front of him.
Does he mean for me to stay in his room? I wondered in disbelief as I sensed a strong chakra presence approaching the hallway. Tobi appeared to have picked up on it a split second before I did because by the time I had recognized it as Kisame, Tobi was already dragging me down the hallway shouting about having to show me something.
Kisame chuckled and shook his head almost in pity as Tobi was all but quite literally dragging me and it was only due to my training that I didn't lose my balance and fall. I wondered what Tobi would do if I did fall before figuring he would actually probably just continue to drag me whether I'm on the floor or not.
"Come on Remi-chan! Tobi really reallyyyy wants to show Remi-chan something." Tobi exclaimed here and there as he continued dragging me around the base.
"Tobi how much damn further is your room, I didn't even think the base was this big?"
"Remi-chan!" Tobi admonished. "Remi-chan needs to stop listening to Hidan's cussing because Remi-chan is a good girl and Remi-chan shouldn't use such words!"
"It's not my fault that I get left alone with him on missions because Kakuzu won't let Hidan go into that bounty place anymore and Hidan needs a babysitter." I muttered almost sulkily.
Tobi chuckled, "Is Remi-chan tired by the way? Tobi can solve that!" He said as he stopped abruptly, causing me to run into his back.
"God damn it Tobi, you don't drag people like that and then just stop suddenly." I grumbled, before panicking as I was lifted off the ground. "Tobi what the hell?"
Said person had somehow managed to quickly maneuver me onto his back and was adjusting my legs around his waist before he started walking as quickly as he'd been dragging me. On reflex my arms and legs tightened around him as I pressed against him as closely as I could while the panic was swirling around in my stomach, slowly rising up to my throat.
"Tobi put me down." I mumbled weakly against the crook of his neck where I had buried my head.
"Is Remi-chan okay? Tobi didn't hurt Remi-chan did Tobi?" Tobi asked worriedly, as he turned a corner sharply and I groaned quietly, tightening my grip even more on him.
"Tobi can't die easily Remi-chan but Remi-chan's hold on Tobi's neck is nearly choking Tobi." Tobi stated. "Tobi thin- wait a minute, Remi-chan!" Tobi exclaimed. "Are you afraid Remi-chan?" He asked, shock at the idea of that making him pause in his walking.
"Please put me down Tobi-kun." I mumbled shakenly.
"Remi-chan's afraid of being picked up?" Tobi asked, still not believing that I was afraid of something so trivial. "Tobi will stop playing with Remi-chan then." He said as he sucked us in with his Kamui technique and then helped me get off his back.
I lifted my head up slowly and noted all of the orange and black coloring in the room as he began trying to gently pry my arms off his neck.
"Of all things." He mumbled in his real voice now that we were safely in his room.
He sighed before maneuvering me so that I was in front of him instead of behind him after giving up on trying to unwrap my arms from his neck. He put his hands on my waist and pushed me back until I could feel the edge of the bed hit the back of my legs. His hands moved to my shoulders as he sat me down on the edge of the bed, kneeling in front on me in between my legs, my hold on his neck practically forcing him to do so.
"Remi." He said firmly. "You're fine, let go."
He sighed when he received no response from me. He put a finger under my chin and forced me to look at him as his sharingan spun, capturing my gaze.
"Relax." He commanded as he removed my arms from his neck and returned them to my side. "You're alright."
And with that he broke eye contact and I blinked a few times, recovering from his genjutsu. My eyes followed him as he silently moved about his room hanging up his cloak, removing his armor, gloves and weapons and placing his mask on a small nightstand beside his bed. He ran his scarred hand through his hair as he walked towards me and sat beside me. He stayed quiet for a few moments before he started talking.
"You're scared of being picked up?" He asked dubiously.
"It's more of a fear of heights." I replied quietly.
"That was a height?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"My feet were off the floor weren't they?"
He stared at me with a mixture of amusement and disbelief at such a silly fear.
"You've never been on one of Deidara's birds have you?"
"Nope."
He shook his head. "You're going to get over that fear Remi. Now, how do you know my secret?"
I grimaced. It's actually because of Itachi that I went and did my own secret research on him but I'm not going to tell him that…
"Did someone tell you?" He prompted after growing impatience with my silence.
"No." I answered quickly. "It's just that I knew you were lying about your name being Tobi and so I kinda…did some research."
"Research?" He repeated slowly, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"At first it wasn't going very well and I almost gave up on it because there was so many possibilities of who you could be. But then I started finding ways to narrow down the possibilities. I estimated that you were somewhere in between mid-20's and mid-30's, and I knew you were an Uchiha because of seeing you use your sharingan. So…eventually I narrowed it down and I…" I trailed off.
"You what?" He asked, eerily calm.
"I…recruited Itachi into researching with me because he knew the Uchiha Compound better than I and then… I met Hatake Kakashi who started questioning Itachi and I. After he calmed down a bit I asked him how he had a sharingan if he wasn't an Uchiha, and then he told me about you after a little while. And then it all clicked together." I added.
He stayed quiet for a moment. "Does Itachi also know who I am then? And what exactly clicked together?"
"Itachi… doesn't have any proof to your real identity, but he assumes his suspicions are correct. Kakashi's sharingan is in his left eye, and you only use your right eye. He also said that you were crushed in a rockslide so well… surviving that would leave you pretty messed up right? And all anyone ever seen of you was your hair and your sharingan occasionally so… I just connected a bunch of little details from Kakashi's story to you and I figured it out." I explained quietly.
"So you're secretly a genius. And if Pein actually had any idea of your intelligence he would use it to his advantage, which isn't what you want?" He concluded.
Bang! A loud boom interrupted our conversation. Crash! Bang! Clang! Obito narrowed his eyes.
"What is going on?" He muttered annoyed as he grabbed his mask and other necessities before stalking over to the door and stepping out into the hallway.
"What the?" Was the last thing I heard from him before a hand clamped on my mouth and I blacked out.
A/N - Sorry hehe... gotta love cliffhangers?
