"Hey Obito?"

The Uchiha groaned. "What Kakashi?"

"Do we need to eat in the afterlife?"

"How the hell would I know?"

Kakashi shrugged. "I don't know. Just curious."

They lapsed into an awkward silence before Kakashi spoke again. "Want to help me cook?"

Obito snorted. "Cook for yourself..."

Kakashi didn't respond to him, and Obito looked over with a confused expression. "What?"

The white haired man laughed awkwardly. "Well, you see..."

Obito facepalmed. "You don't know how to cook, do you?"

"Nope."

"Well don't look at me for help..."

Kakashi blinked. "You don't know how to either?"

"No..."

Yet another silence.

"We're in a pickle then, huh?" Kakashi murmured.

"Maybe you are... I'm not the one who wants food." Obito replied bluntly, only for Kakashi to grab his arm and drag him into the kitchen. "What the hell are you doing?!"

"Come on! Help me out, just this once?" Kakashi asked.

Sighing, Obito gave in. "Fine... What do you want?"

"Hm... What about ramen?"

"Of course..." Obito muttered, looking around the kitchen. He didn't know where to start, and apparently neither did Kakashi. "Um, now what?"

"I don't know... But hey, it can't be too hard to figure out, right?"

"Ingredients would probably be a good place to start..."

"Right! What if we don't have what we need though?" Kakashi asked.

Obito deadpanned. "Then we go to the Heaven Walmart... Now check the cupboards..." He said, looking in some of the drawers for utensils and cooking supplies. How did he drag me into this..?

Several minutes passed and Kakashi had managed to find the supplies they needed for the ramen, though they both stopped to think what would be next.

"Um, isn't it the broth first?" Kakashi asked.

Obito shrugged. "I guess so..."

Kakashi went over to the stove and put a pot on one of the burners, then looked down at the knobs blankly. "Which one should I turn...? Eenie meenie minie..."

Obito growled and shoved him out of the way. "Baka! Just let me do it before you break something!"

Kakashi tilted his head. "For not wanting to help, you're doing most of the work..."

"Because you're completely hopeless!" Obito snapped, turning on the right burner and pouring the broth into it. "Just go get the other toppings ready while I stir this..."

Kakashi nodded, though as he was walking past the Uchiha, he accidentally bumped him into the stove, and Obito's sleeve caught fire on the burner.

Obito yelped and backed away from the stove, flailing his arm wildly in panic. "Kakashi! Put it out! Put it out!"

Kakashi blinked and looked at him boredly. "Whoa, calm down.."

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN I'M ON FIRE!"

Kakashi rolled his eyes and turned on the sink, then shoved Obito's arm under the faucet. "Better?"

Obito huffed, and glared at him. "You pushed me!"

"Not on purpose!"

"Oh really?!"

"Yeah!"

While the two got into a yelling match, they completely neglected the broth on the stove, which was over cooking and burning. By the time they turned back to it, it was far too late to be saved. "Great... Now we're out of broth..." Obito muttered.

"Heaven Walmart time then?" Kakashi asked jokingly.

"This is all your fault you know! I didn't even want to help you cook!" Obito ranted.

"Alright alright! You need to chill. Why don't we stop by sensei's house and beg Kushina for pity food, huh?"

Obito crossed his arms. "YOU can go beg for food. I don't even want anything. Hell, I don't even need to eat."

Kakashi ignored him and grabbed him by the arm again, pulling him out the door, much to the scarred man's annoyance.

Once they arrived at Minato and Kushina's house, Kakashi knocked on the door, still keeping a firm hold on Obito's arm in case he tried to escape the embarrassing situation.

After several heartbeats, Minato opened the door and blinked at them. "Hey there. What brings you two over here, huh? You're getting along, aren't you?"

"Not really..." Obito mumbled, though Kakashi pinched him for it.

"Sure we are. Hey, Obito here had a question to ask you!" Kakashi said, pushing his teammate forward.

"Wha-! I-I do not! We were here because of you!" Obito spluttered.

"Um, why don't you two just come inside?" Minato offered, sweatdropping at their argument.

"Thank you sensei." Kakashi bowed, stepping inside with Obito.

Minato lead them to the living room where Kushina was, and she stood to greet them. "Hello Kakashi, half-pint."

Obito twitched. "I'm 30 now!"

Kushina put her hands on her hips, giving him a stern look. "Yeah, and you'll always be a little twerp to me, ya got that?"

He sighed. "Do I really get no respect around here..?"

Kakashi grinned and gave him a noogie. "Nope!"

Obito rolled his eyes, shoving the white haired man away. "Kakashi came here to beg you for food and dragged me after him." He said bluntly, making Kakashi redden in embarrassment.

Kushina raised an eyebrow at them. "Wait.. Don't tell me neither of you know how to cook?"

"Hehe, no, not really..." Kakashi said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"You two are absolutely ridiculous! How can you be adults and not know how to?!" Kushina ranted.

Obito pointed at Kakashi. "This genius didn't even know how to turn on the stove."

Kushina grabbed them both by their arms and dragged them into the kitchen with her. "Alright, time that you both learn how to take care of yourselves!"

Kakashi and Obito both sweatdropped and glanced at each other with a 'what have we done?' face.

3 hours had passed of Kushina's cooking lessons before the two got a break.

"Man, I didn't know getting food could be so hard..." Kakashi mumbled.

Obito shot him a weak glare. "I still can't believe I had to go through that... This is all your fault..."

"Hey, teammates are supposed to be there for each other, right?" Kakashi joked.

He got a blank look from Obito. "I want a new teammate..."

"Come on, you know you don't mean that."

"Hmph..."

"Alright, both of you shut up." Kushina said, putting a bowl of ramen down in front of both of them. "You both worked hard today, so I cooked for you. I'm still disappointed at how little you two knew about the kitchen!"

Kakashi apologized and thanked her for the meal, though Obito just grunted, which earned him a deadly glare from Minato's wife. "Hey twerp, I don't hear any thanks coming from you!"

"Thank you, Kushina..." Obito mumbled.

She sighed and decided that was probably the best she would get out of him. He needs serious work on his manners...

Kakashi had already dug in hungrily, though Obito ate a bit slower. I wasn't even hungry... At least Kushina's a good cook...


A/N: Just because I see those two being completely clueless on things that don't involve chakra and punching people in the face- Good thing Kushina's there to teach them how to be normal people for once...
