Tobi walked out the front doors of school, smiling. It had been around a week since the incident where he had lost his left eye, and when he met Zetsu. Since the other had come to pick him up everyday from school, he hadn't gotten beaten up again, and average bullying died down quite a lot. He had also managed to learn about Zetsu and become closer to him. Tobi found his friend was a Botany student in his Sophomore year in college. He attended the Akatsuki Academy, a place Tobi had never heard of, but was determined to look into to learn more of his green haired friend. Tobi sat down under one of the large trees in the school's courtyard to wait for Zetsu. He started on his Algebra homework for a head start, in case he were to be offered the opportunity to hang out Zetsu today.
Zetsu Spotted Tobi and walked up to him with a soft smile on his face. When he got to Tobi, Zetsu ruffled his hair. "Hey How was your day?" He asked softly.
Tobi looked up and grinned, "Hey, Zetsu. Tobi's day was good, what about Zetsu's? How was your day?" He asked, packing up his books and standing.
"It was fine. Hey, We're gonna hang out with some friends today and study. Wanna come?" He asked, completely aware he used 'we'. "They are nice peo-"Kuro quickly cut off Shiro. "I take whatever I was going to say back."
Tobi blinked, slinging his schoolbag over his shoulder. He then giggled, smiling. "Tobi would love to!" He replied energetically, grabbing Zetsu's hand and pulling his out of the school courtyard hastily, skipping as if he knew where he was headed to.
"Oh yeah, Tobi. I forgot to tell you, I got a motorcycle." He said, big smile on his face. He lead Tobi to his new Motorcycle, happy he was able to show it off. He climbed onto the motorcycle after putting Tobi's stuff into the compartment under the seat. "Come on. Don't forget to hold on tight."
Tobi blushed, but nodded and pushed himself up onto the motorcycle. He wrapped his arms around Zetsu's waist and held on tightly, hoping this wouldn't be a scary experience. Zetsu noted Tobi's tension and went slightly slow, but they still got to his house quickly. He climbed off the motorcycle, and helped Tobi off in case Tobi got dizzy. Tobi gratefully accepted the assistance, definitely feeling dizzy. "S-So w-what are your friends like?" He asked, the world spinning. Zetsu's face went dark. "You... You'll find out when you meet them." He said. Zetsu didn't even walk on his property before taking precautions. He threw some rocks. He even walked over himself and left Tobi on the sidewalk. When he deemed it safe he let Tobi inside the house. Tobi blinked at Zetsu's odd behavior, but shrugged it off, excited to be going to Zetsu's house and meeting his friends. When he entered the room, he saw a blue man and a darker man with stitches on his face sitting in the middle of the room, surrounded by text books. Tobi hid behind Zetsu a bit, though watched the two from his hiding place.
The darker skinned one, Kakuzu, looked over and nodded to them, as if letting them know he had acknowledged their looked around. "I thought Sasori would have been here.." He said.
Tobi nodded back, but continued hiding behind Zetsu. The blue one gave a wave. "No, he's yet to arrive." He stated. Just then, Zetsu's phone rung, signalling a text message.
Zetsu shoed Tobi towards the caoch. "Go introduce yourself. I'll be right back out." He said before walking into the kitchen. He pulled out his phone and looked at it annoyedly.
Tobi shifted a little, then grinned and extended his hands towards the two. "Tobi's name is Tobi! Who are you?" He asked. The blue man blinked, then shook Tobi's hand. "I'm Kisame."
Kakuzu looked up at Tobi, then his hand, and then back at Tbi. His face looked like he was expecting something to be in Tobi's hand. "I'm Kakuzu." He grunted and shook Tobi's hand.
Tobi cocked his head at Kakuzu's odd behavior, but shrugged it off. "So.. You are Zetsu's friends?"
The text message was from Sasori: "Hey Zetsu, sorry, I'll be a bit late. Deidara was pestering me about coming, and I just got him to accept the fact he's too young to understand what we're studying. Can't blame him. I was the same way when I was a high school senior. Only I was much more intelligent-college work would be nothing, eh? Anyway, I'll be there shortly. - Sasori" Zetsu sighed and quickly wrote a reply. "Yeah, yeah. Stop bragging, handle Didara, and get over here -Zetsu" He didn't bother letting Sasori know who wrote it, since he'll probably figure it out. he strolled out into the Living room. "Sasori'll be late. Anybody want anything? Besides money?" He said, allowing Kuro to quickly add the end. Sasori's only reply was: "I'm not bragging. I'm stating facts."
Zetsu sighed when his question was ignored. He sat down next to Tobi. "Friends? Hmm... It's quite similar to that relationship... at least for me." Kakuzu said. Zetsu sighed and scolwed at Sasori's remark.. at least, Kuro did. "Whatever. Quit it with the chatter and get your ass moving. I know you're probably sitting on your caoch." Kuro quickly replied with a snicker as he listened to the others' conversation.
Kisame nodded in agreement, "As with I." Tobi grinned, "It's a pleasure to meet you!" He said. "Wrong, I'm just about to ring your doorbell, and I can't do that from my couch." A new voice echoed from outside the door before the doorbell sounded. Tobi looked towards the door, "Zetsu, there's a creeper at your door. .. Do you have creepers at your door often?"
But alas, all Zetsu found was his red headed friend, the calmest of them, leaning against the outer door frame, his normal smirk and somewhat taunting eyes as normal and taunting as ever.
Tobi blinked. "Tobi takes creeper back. He looks like a rapist." He declared, and Kisame snickered. Though, the blue man fell silent when Sasori shot a glare over to them, and Tobi shrunk under it. However, the glare didn't last long, and was replaced by a somewhat surprised look. "I know you.." Sasori said, looking at Tobi, who was highly confused. The red head looked to Zetsu, "Zetsu, why is the heir to the Uchiha household here?" He asked, though there was no prejudice or hate in his voice, it was purely a question of interest.
Zetsu sighed. "Long story. But for now. I'll just say he's a friend." He put simply and sat back down on the caoch next to Tobi and grabbed and book, not caring Tobi said something rude about Sasori.
Sasori moved to sit next to Kakuzu, dismissing the earlier comment. "T-Tobi is wondering.. How do you know you I am, ?" Sasori glanced over to the boy next to Zetsu, "It's Sasori. And, my best friend has told me about you. He's in your grade." The red head replied before taking a text book and starting to read it.
Tobi was a bit confused. Who's his best friend..? And.. They must know I'm the Uchiha heir, but.. How..? He wondered as he watched over Zetsu's shoulder, reading the study book with his friend. He found it quite confusing, but continued reading it.
Zetsu sighed. "If your going to tell him that ou might aswell tell him who your best friends is." Zetsu said, noticing Tobi's struggle to understand the college level problems.
"I can be vague if I so wish." Sasori replied, writing an answer to a problem, not bothering to look up from the book when he spoke. Tobi shrugged, "It's okay, Zetsu. Tobi doesn't mind." He chirped, reading more of the complicated problems. ".. Does everyone learn about plants in college?"
"Not everyone. We get to chose our classes." He explaied to Tobi. I thought people did that in high school too.. Who cares.
Tobi nodded, "Tobi understands. Tobi was supposed to choose his classes for high school, too, but Tobi's dad did instead." He informed, still reading Zetsu's text book, it becoming clearer. He was content and happy here, with Zetsu and his friends-it was fun. Kisame looked up from his aquatic life text book. "Why would your dad choose your classes?" Sasori looked up from his science textbook. "Kisame, that is an idiotic question. He's heir to the Uchiha family line, his father would want him in specific classes so he can better take over the company. Be more considerate with your stupidity." The blue man looked at the red head in mock hurt, and Tobi blinked. How does Sasori know so much? It seems like common knowledge to him..
"Sasori, do you stalk the kid or something? I mean I wouldn't be suprised but.. It's still kind of creepy." he said, raising an eyebrow. kakuzu sighed, placed his book down,a nd finally spoke. "The constant topic is annoying so I'll settle this now. He knows who Tobi is through Deidara. Happy?" He said, annoyance in his voice.
Sasori glared. "I'm the heir of the Akasuna line, I know what it takes to be an heir. And the Uchihas are a much more prestigious house than the Akasuna, so I can only imagine it's far worse." Tobi cringed, at Sasori words, knowing the truth behind them. He pulled out his phone when he felt it vibrate with a message, biting his lip as he read it. He stood quickly, "Tobi is sorry, Zetsu, he have to go. Thank you for having him over, though. And Tobi was happy to meet all of you." Tobi said, addressing Kisame, Sasori, and Kakuzu. He didn't wait for a response before hurrying out, a certain quirk to his step that the red headed heir of the Akasuna family knew all too well. ".. He's off to speak with his father." Sasori mumbled under his breath. He was not an emotional person, or a sympathetic person, but he definitely felt sympathy for the young Uchiha. He himself was freed for his family's box he was made to fit into, but it was obvious the Uchiha was not, yet.
Tobi wobbled as he walked up the pathway to the main household of the Uchiha residence. He had run quite a long distance, and was very tired. But he knew he couldn't show it, he had to see his father. That is why he left in the first place. Tobi did not bother to use the energy to knock on the front door-his father was expecting him, it would not be necessary. As he entered, he shrunk. He didn't even have to see his father, he felt the disapproving gaze penetrating him. He walked over to the lounge room where he knew his father was, keeping his head bowed the entire time. "Father.." He addressed.
Tobi was responded to with a sharp slap to the face. "Look at me when you speak to me, boy." His father commanded, and his only remaining eye brimmed with tears as he nodded, replying while looking into his father's eyes: "Yes, father." "Tobi." His father addressed, pacing over away from his son some ways. "I have decided.. I will be disowning you. Fugaku has already rid himself of Itachi, while you were at school. We talked it over.. And you are not worthy of being among the main household, let alone to Uchiha family. Fugaku and myself have decided that Sasuke will be taking over as the head of the house." He turned back to Tobi, who was shaking a little, a couple tears streaming down his face. "Now, get out of my sight." The young now ex-Uchiha nodded, "Tobi will.. B-But what does.. Mother have to say about this..?" His father's eyes softened and he pulled a card out of his pocket with the words 'Akara Uchiha - Death Certificate', but he slipped it away. "I told her my decision.." The softness left. "And she told me to let you know that she completely and utterly despised you for the grief you caused her, if you asked." That was all it took for Tobi to jet out of the house, mindlessly running.
