So? How do you like my story so far?

Enjoy this chapter.

I had been with Tobi for a week and so far, we had come to a schedule. We would both wake up around the same time, dawn. Then I would make breakfast as Tobi was in the bathroom. Then we would at breakfast with little talk between us. He would then leave and I would go to cleaning. Now the problem arose that I ran out of things to clean and was getting stir crazy from not leaving the house because I didn't want to get horribly lost like an idiot.

"You've cleaned the entire house, what are you going to do now?" asked Tobi at breakfast one day. I pondered for the rest of breakfast.

"….Hm, you've got me there." I announced as I looked out the window. Next to the house a little bit over was a calm river. The house was in a clearing that had trees surrounding it and only opening for a small path and the river. The clearing was big though.

"Do you have any hobbies?" asked Tobi.

"Hm, I've never really had time for hobbies, dancing and playing instruments I guess would be considered hobbies for me." I replied. Tobi nodded.

"I'll see if I can get you something to do." he stated before leaving like usual. I looked after him. He was a strange person, and I have yet to see his face… or eye for that matter. For the rest of that day I read a book, it was a book about dimensions and a Kekkei-Genkai called the Sharingan. I knew a lot about the Sharingan by the end.

"I brought back something for you." announced Tobi as he pulled a scroll from somewhere and opened it to reveal an instrument. I picked it up and looked it over. My face was a mixture of emotions.

"A guitar…. I haven't seen one of these in forever. My mother used to play this for me all the time, I think I can even play her favorite song." I murmured as I pulled the instrument into position. I picked a few strings before I smiled.

"It's just like I remember it." I laughed as I started to play like I had been doing it all my life. Tobi listened for a bit until I finished the song, it was a long song too.

"How did you know?" I asked Tobi, refering to how he knew I liked the guitar.

"You seemed like someone who would play." he stated. I smiled at him.

"Thank you Tobi. I really appreciate all you've been doing for me." I had a feeling in my gut that Tobi had been smiling under his mask.

A few days later I had mastered the guitar and using my astounding memory I managed to remember quite a few songs and figure out the way it was played. Then I would remember the lyrics and then there would be no stopping me. I usually played for Tobi after dinner before we would separate to our rooms.

"You're good at the guitar." complimented Tobi one day. It was a rare day that wasn't very sunny. Not that I would admit it but I hated thunderstorms. It was just the loud thunder and then the lightning that scared me.

"I could teach you." I offered as I rested my arm.

"Maybe at a later date." decided Tobi as he left to his room. I went into my room and put the guitar against the wall. It had only been raining so when the thunder shook the house I jumped and gasped. I was in my night clothes, Tobi had gotten me a few clothes. For bed I wore a large dark shirt and knee length shorts. I walked out into the living room in my bare feet. Tobi had shut off the lights so it was eerily dark. Lightning lit up the room and I eeped before going back into my room and closing the door. I hid under my blankets. Call it a childish fear.

I was awake for at least 2 hours, my internal alarm clock said it was late and I should sleep. My mind however was saying that I shouldn't sleep because of the lightning and thunder. Eventually the darkness of my windowless room got the best of me and I went into the living room. I pulled my blanket around me as I curled up on the couch. When the lightning flashed again and thunder shook the house I pulled my blanket over my head. I almost screamed when I peeked out and a hand landed on my shoulder. It was only Tobi.

"What are you doing up?" I asked wincing as more thunder boomed.

"I could ask you the same." pointed out Tobi. I grinned sheepishly even though he couldn't see it.

"Well… you see it's a bit embarrassing but…. I'm afraid of thunderstorms!" I blurted out. The room lit up again and I buried my face in my blanket. I had a feeling Tobi was amused, and then I knew he was amused. How did I know? A deep chuckle came from him and I pulled the blanket over my head.

"Laugh all you want, you're probably afraid of something too!" I declared from under my blanket. The house shook again and I curled into a tighter ball. I felt myself get picked up from the couch and my first thoughts were 'Tobi is strong enough to pick me up?' but that went away when my next thought came. Why did he pick me up? I felt myself get placed down again and I peeked out from my blanket to see I was in Tobi's room. More specifically on his bed. The room was calm and I felt safer, even when the thunder and lightning came.

"Go to sleep." commanded Tobi and I felt my eyes instantly close. Soon all the thunder was blocked out by the darkness of sleep.

When I woke up I was confused because I was in a cocoon of blankets. It took me a few minutes to get out and then I fell on the floor with an ack and an oomph. I heard some chuckling and I looked up to see Tobi looking in from the doorway.

"That was graceful." I commented as I stood up rubbing the bump on my head from my fall.

"Very." agreed an amused Tobi as he left. I got up and walked into the living room to find that Tobi had in fact made breakfast, a breakfast consisting of fruit, and leftover pancakes. We ate the breakfast and then I looked outside, it was still raining.

"Want to learn guitar?" I asked. Tobi looked out at the rain too.

"Fine." That was how we learned that Tobi was not musically talented.

We started off with me showing Tobi a few chords, and because he has an astounding memory he was able to memorize them. I even managed to get him to remember the order they were played for a song. I played it a few times, then allowed Tobi.

I held my ears. Tobi, although his memory was great, he was just not musically talented. Moments after he stopped we both chuckled.

"No more guitar for you." I decided.

"Agreed." I laughed at his response.

"Come swimming with me." I demanded as I dragged Tobi by his sleeve out of the house. It was a warm summer day and I wanted to go in the river. Tobi however, was trying to put a damper on my good mood.

"We both don't have anything to swim in." pointed out Tobi.

"Oh well." I chirped as I let go of him and jumped in the water. Tobi followed after getting a death glare from me. I splashed him a few times receiving splashes back. Eventually he resorted to dunking me underwater. He held me there for at least a minute in which I calmly held my breath, if I used my chakra I could breathe underwater but I refused to use my abilities.

"That was fun." I announced with my hair in front of my face. My hair was dripping water and it was all over. I shook my head sending water all over and smacking Tobi in the face with my hair. He was knocked over. I stated laughing loudly as he got up.

"You're hair could be a weapon." he stated. I almost stopped laughing but then, I snorted. My snort made me start laughing again. Eventually Tobi started chuckling with me.

"Hey Tobi." I said after a bit.

"What?" asked Tobi.

"Can you do me a favor?" I asked.

"What?" he asked again.

"Can you cut my hair? All of it from my shoulders down must leave." I stated. After shrugging Tobi took out a kunai and took my hair in my hand. He pulled it out and slashed through it. I moved my head around and gaped. My head was so much lighter now!

"What?" asked Tobi as he dropped my hair and put away the kunai.

"My head….. It's so much lighter." I announced in amazement. Then I started to dance around like an idiot as Tobi watched.

"Dance with me!" I called.

"No thank you." replied Tobi.

"Downer." I decided as I continued my dance. When I finished Tobi chuckled before we went to get towels to dry off with.

That night at dinner, I asked Tobi a question.

"Tobi when's your birthday?" I asked suddenly. Tobi looked up from his food.

"My birthday?" he asked.

"Yeah, you know, the day you were born." I offered smiling.

"I'm not going to tell you." he said with a chuckle at my now pouting face.

"Humph well then I'll tell you mine instead. I was born on the 12th of December on a day where it went from being almost like summer to a blizzard. My mother always told me about the day I was born because she remembers looking out the window on a warm day and then a few hours later there was a blizzard when I was born." I announced.

"I was born on a normal day." said Tobi boringly.

"That's boring." I commented.

"Not everyone is born on the day of a natural phenomenon." pointed out Tobi.

"….Bite me." I'm almost positive that Tobi was smirking from under his mask.

Shorter than it was originally but I wanted to make the story a bit longer, so the next chapter will have what the ending of this chapter was supposed to be.

How was it?

I personally don't like this chapter because i had to revise it from the original version and it feels... weird. liek i didn't write it.
