Despair of Warfare 3
Obito sat in the hospital room staring at the bland and boring ceiling. This sucked. As much as he liked being alive, he was beginning to understand Kakashi's hatred towards hospitals. It had been three weeks since he'd woken up and the doctor had spoken to him many times.
"You're recovery won't be fast. So many of your bones were smashed by that cave in that, it'll take a long time for them to heal. I don't' know whether you'll be able to be a shinobi ever again, Obito. With your wounds, it may not be possible."
He'd thought through what the doctor had said so many times now that it was giving him a headache. How could he not have a chance at being a shinobi ever again, it was his life. What would he do? He sighed looking down at the sheets on his bed, maybe it was for the better, after all, he was the crybaby ninja. What had he ever done that was impressive in his ninja career. Even his family thought he was weak. And everyone was so pitiful. It was beginning to get on his nerves. He hated it especially when he saw Kakashi. Every time Kakashi visited him he had some stupid sappy comment about how he was sorry and it was his fault. Obito hated it. Rin was the same way; she would always wish that she'd been there to help Kakashi get him out of there. Obito was sick of everyone's pity. He was at the end of his rope with it. He turned to look on the table at his goggles. Would he ever be a ninja again? That was what he feared most of all.
At that moment the door to his room opened and a familiar figure came in. Kakashi closed the door behind him, "Yo." He said casually.
Obito smiled pushing his anger down to the smallest corner of his mind.
Kakashi sat down next to him with a bouquet of flowers. Both Kakashi and Rin were set on getting him flowers every time they came by.
"Rin got me flowers the other day, you don't have to get them for me every time you guys come over," Obito commented.
Kakashi huffed arrogantly, "Who says I wasted my money on these, Rin just happens to make me give them to you every time I come by."
Obito smiled, that was better, no pity was emanating from him, even if Kakashi was just pretending. He'd noticed recently that a lot of Kakashi's arrogance had become more mild. He wasn't as uptight as before, and seemed far more casual.
"Sure, you're just too much of a woos to admit that you're actually a softy," Obito teased.
Kakashi laughed, "you wish."
Kakashi put the flowers in the vase with Rin's and then sat back down. They were now quiet. Obito knew exactly what was coming next, as he saw Kakashi's face fall into that familiar look of self-hatred.
"Kakashi! Would you stop it!"
"Huh?" Kakashi looked utterly clueless and it riled the raven haired boy even more, "All of you, I've gotten sick of it! All you guys ever do when you come over here is just mope about me. I'm so sick of your pity, I don't want it!"
Kakashi blinked, not expecting this rant from Obito. And then he sighed, "You're right. Even Sensei's caught me on it. I haven't been focusing as well and for what, I've been worried about you're stupid ass."
Obito smiled and sat back, sometimes it was nice to hear Kakashi scrutinize him, "Yeah. I can worry about myself thank you. Even though they say I might not ever be able to be a ninja again," he mumbled the last sentence to himself. But Kakashi's ears were sharp and he'd caught it.
"What?" he asked, eyes widened in fear.
Obito sighed and nodded, great, another reason for Kakashi to pity him, Obito looked him in the eye and said defiantly, "But their idiots, I'll recover, just you wait and see."
Kakashi smiled at his friend's confidence. Leave it to Obito to be too stubborn to give up.
"So then when are they going to let you start rehab?"
The Uchiha sighed, "I don't know. I keep asking and they say that I'm still pretty banged up. It'll be a while till I can walk or use my right arm. Tsunade said she was trying to use a specially refined medical technique to help my bones heal faster. But even so if I keep up the healing, it'll still take another six months before I can walk, and that'll be on crutches, and another six months for both to heal enough for me to start walking normal again and sort of using my arm. But I can only train a little at a time. It's going to take a while. But I'll do it. I don't care how long it takes."
Kakashi smiled, "I'll be waiting for you then. I ought to get home, see you around, Obito."
"See you, Kakashi, and thanks for bringing my goggles."
"No problem."
The boy left and for once Obito was happy that stuck up bastard was around. He really liked the new Kakashi. While he was still a little stuck up, it wasn't so bad that he didn't think about his friends' lives as pawns anymore…wait…what was Obito thinking…Kakashi never had friends before now. Obito chuckled to himself, "And he calls me a loser."
