This was my favorite chapter to write so far. I couldn't wait to update it. I hope this chapter is what you guys needed! I know I needed it, lol.
Obito knew Kanoha pretty well, but he knew the Uchiha district even better... which is the one place he couldn't go. That wouldn't stop him from showing Kagome a good time. God knows they both need a distraction from what's been happening in their lives. "You know, we never got to go to those hot springs back in the last town. How about after dinner we go and relax?" Obito suggested while they were walking in the market place.
"Sure thing. That sounds lovely." Kagome stopped, then gasped with glee. "Oh look! A dango shop and restraunt! Come on let's eat I'm starving!" She grabbed Obito's arm gently and started to walk towards the restraunt.
"Dango sounds awesome!" Obito excitably agreed. He glanced down at his arm while Kagome was playfully tugging him. 'Thank God I have a hood on.' Was his only thought while being pulled inside.
While they sat down at a booth eating their dango, a customer walked in to eat as well. No one noticed him, for they were far to deep into their conversation. Obito talking about what kind of training they'll get with Minato, and Kagome talked about how she used to shoot the bow and her previous training as a healer.
This unknown individual sat down in the booth behind them, facing Kagome, but was looking at Obito's hooded back of the head. "I'll have this." He pointed at the menu, and placed it back on the table to wait for his dinner. His gaze landed on Kagome, and he thought he saw her somewhere before. Then it hit him. His one eye narrowed with a suspicious glare. He saw her on the battlefield with the Nine Tails. She's the one who was with that hooded individual who disappeared with Minato's body. He growled under his breath, "That bitch." 'I'll follow those two for sure. I bet the person she's with was the one who left the battle with her.' With that thought his face darkened even further. He absentmindedly scratched his silver hair. How he loved solving mysteries...especially those surrounding his old sensei. He then stretched his senses to hear what the two were talking about.
"...and so I had to sit him to save him from that demon. It would've killed him!" Kagome was telling Obito about a few of the times she sat Inuyasha to save his life, instead of punishing him, or for her own amusement.
Obito loved these stories. Kagome probably didn't know it, but when she got into story telling mode she got real excited, and she would talk so fast her words would sometimes smash together. It was cute. Obito shook his head, he couldn't be thinking Kagome as 'cute'. They work together... 'but I worked with Rin too.' While Obito was having a conversation with Kagome, he was also having a conversation with his thoughts. "Hey Kagome." He started to reach for her hands, but stopped, looked up at her then gulped and continued. When his hands were on top of Kagome's, she stopped rambling and looked up with a small hint of pink on her cheeks.
"Ye...Yeah?" She let out a squeak to her voice.
'That was so cute!' Obito cried in his head, then mentally slapped himself.
"Maybe after this, we can go out again...But maybe as a date, date?" He suggested with a whisper and gulp.
There was silence. The stranger sitting behind them suddenly coughed, almost spitting out his drink. That voice! He heard that voice plenty of times, he HATED that voice. It was so annoying, yet he missed him. This unknown person couldn't be him. 'He's dead!' He yelled in his head. His eye turned murderous. 'Keep a hold of your emotions Kakashi! Control yourself!' He breathed, and calmed his racing heartbeat and temper.
"...would be nice Obito." Kagome said with a shy smile. "Let's get to those hot springs, shall we?" Then the two paid for their food and stood up to go. They then draped an arm around each others arm and walked out. A smile on both their faces, and two small blushes as well, even though one of those faces was hooded.
The stranger now known as Kakashi widened his eye with shock and dropped his food on the table. He heard the name of his dead teammate and only friend come out of the lips of that demon girl. 'That's what she is!' He thought to himself. 'A demon!' He hurriedly paid for his dinner then followed the two outside.
Kagome and Obito walked silently, but content side by side, then stopped at a building. "Here we are." Obito pointed at the entrance.
"Be careful Obi."
"Obi, huh?" He said with a smirk, she could tell he was smirking underneath that hood.
"Is that ok?"
"Only if I can call you Kago."
"Kago?" She said with raised eyebrows... "You make a hard bargain... But I accept! Also, yes be careful. You know, your condition." That last word she stressed out.
"Yes. I'll get a private one, don't worry!" The two then walked in.
Kakashi has never been to the hot springs before. He wanted to spy on the mysterious 'Obito', but didn't know where to look first. 'Oh well, let's get this mission started!' He then walked to a random wall then silently scaled it and jumped down with a silent 'thud'. He heard voiced then ducked under a pool chair that had a towel laid across it. Suddenly six females walked in, all in only a towel. All of them chatting happily amongst themselves. One of them was that 'Kagome Demon'. 'She makes friends fast.' He thought from under his chair.
The females then scattered all their towels on random chairs and got in the water. Kakashi's eye widened yet again. He had never seen a naked female body before. 'Wow.' Was his only thought while he glanced between them all. "Great view isn't it?" Came a voice next to him. It was under another pool chair. Was that, no it couldn't be...
"Jiraiya's the name, my boy. Just finishing off on some research. Wanted to finish my first book. Would you like a copy?" He whispered to the awkward teen next to him.
"Oh...um...sure. I gotta go!" Kakashi then got out of there in a hurry. "Who knew one of the famous Sanin was a pervert?" He whispered to himself. "And I just agreed for a copy of his first book. Well...if the descriptions are as good as those bodies then hell yes!" He then jumped the next wall with a slight smirk...even though no one would notice under that mask he wore.
His good mood left quick, for standing before him, just as wide eyed as he was, was a naked Obito. HIS Obito. "But you died." Came out in a whisper.
Obito stood awkwardly in front of his former teammate. "Kakashi."
The two of them were over come with so many suppressed emotions they ran to each other with an intent to hug, damn the emotions. Kakashi then stopped with a hand held out on Obito's chest. All he said was. "Your naked."
Obito blushed a deep red then ran to get a towel.
Obito patted a pool chair next to him, and Kakashi sat down next to him hesitantly. He then slowly reached out to the fabric covering Kakashi's eye. Kakashi let him continue, and he pulled the cloth down. "That eye looks good on you." He smirked.
The two of them sat there reconnecting for an hour. Obito told him everything that happened to him, on how he was alive. It was good to get all this out to his best friend.
Kagome was waiting outside the building when a hooded Obito walked out with a silver haired ninja next to him. When the two got to Kagome, Obito said, "We need to talk. This is Kakashi my old teammate." He whispered to her. Kagome didn't notice the slight pink of Kakashi's forehead when he looked at her when Obito introduced them. Kagome's eyes went wide then the three of them walked to a secluded alley. Obito told Kagome what had happened, that Kakashi found him. He left out the almost running to each other, with him naked out.
"That's ok Obito. But we have to be careful from now on. No more people can know!"
"Ok. I promise!" He said with a smile and a finger cross to the heart.
The three left the alley, not noticing that a presence was there, who heard the whole thing.
